Chapter 1 The train home
"Dear passengers, the arrival station ahead is the terminal station of this train, Huaicheng Station..."
Sitting on the high-speed train and looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery outside the window, Lu Chen's thoughts had already flown back home.
In that family resident yard built more than 20 years ago,
The red brick courtyard located on the first floor of the six-story building,
It was the home that I had left for ten years.
I wonder if my parents are in good health now?
When I go home this time, will my parents come up to hug me when they see me? Or will they get angry and drive myself out of the house again?
Lu Chen was still full of uneasiness about this trip to return home.
I feel like "Schrödinger" going home.
But looking at me leaning against my arms.
A beautiful and cute little face in a deep sleep.
Lu Chen knew that for the sake of his daughter, he had to go home and go back to his parents who had almost cut off their relationship due to quarrels.
Let my daughter gradually adapt to domestic life.
Lu Chen also wants to find a job at home.
For the rest of the time, stay at home with your parents.
Introduce your daughter to your parents and make your relationship harmonious with your grandparents.
In that case, maybe I can face death calmly in a year.
Because he got off at the train terminal, Lu Chen was not busy taking off the luggage on the luggage rack like everyone else in the car.
Not long after returning from abroad, my daughter has not adapted to the time difference in China.
Lu Chen hopes that his daughter can sleep for a while in the car.
The train slowed down slowly and was preparing for the final entry.
Just at this moment, Lu Chen's sleeping daughter "Lu Xiaoxi" also woke up.
A pair of big, watery eyes opened and looked out the window curiously, feeling that everything here was so fresh and interesting.
Is this my father’s hometown?
Lu Xiaoxi turned her head, reached out to touch the stubble on her father's chin, and waited until her father looked down at him and asked with a smile: "dad, is this your home?"
Lu Chen knew that his daughter always liked it very much, and she never stopped touching the little bit of stubble on her chin.
He reached out to his cute daughter and lowered his head to whisper in his daughter's ear: "Yes, this is my father's hometown."
Then he said to his daughter in his arms: "We have returned to our father's hometown, which is also Xiao Xixi's hometown. So will we speak Chinese in the future?"
The girl twisted her body and looked at her father seriously with her big watery eyes.
After a long time, Lu Xiaoxi still smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Hearing his daughter's obedient agreement, Lu Chen praised him with satisfaction: "Well, our Xiao Xixi is both obedient and cute, so let's clean up and prepare to get off the car."
Remove two large suitcases from the luggage rack, a backpack, and a violin in the piano case.
The violin box is covered with traces of time, and it can be seen that it is already a while.
This violin was the second one that Lu Chen bought for him when he was in high school.
At that time, in order to buy Lu Chen a violin that he could use forever, his parents found a lot of connections and spent a lot of savings at the family at that time. Finally, they bought Lu Chen this second-hand "Edmund".
Lu Chen was also very committed to completing the grading exam with this piano and successfully admitted to the Conservatory of Music.
He also obtained the opportunity to be an exchange student at the Music Academy.
This piano witnessed Lu Chen's past glorious past in the eyes of his parents.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen's willfulness prevented him from using this violin to create higher artistic achievements.
Even due to disagreement in concepts, there was a fierce collision with parents.
Leaving home alone,
I have been abroad alone for ten years.
He failed to let them see their glory and glory as he promised to his parents with great enthusiasm, but instead dragged his sick body and brought his daughter back.
"I used to be full of passion,
Returning empty bag
…”
Such a lyrics appeared in my mind unconsciously.
While stunned, a soft voice pulled Lu Chen's thoughts back.
“dad, are you ok?”
Lu Chen suddenly woke up from his daughter's call.
Well, it’s not an empty luggage, at least I brought back a little granddaughter to my parents?
He lowered his head and smiled at his daughter: "Okay.
Didn’t we say it’s time to speak Chinese?”
Lu Xiaoxi smiled and arched her little head into her father's arms, as if she had done something prank, but her father discovered it.
He stretched out his hand and touched his daughter's little head in a doting way.
"Okay, let's get off the car."
The people in the car have basically been exposed.
Lu Chen put his backpack on his back, placed the violin on one of the large boxes, and dragged the two large boxes to quickly walk towards the car door.
As for Lu Xiaoxi's children's shoes, they followed their father obediently.
After getting off the car, I couldn't take good care of my daughter because I had to drag two large boxes.
Lu Chen simply put his daughter on his wide suitcase, dragging one and pushing the other forward.
The little girl felt that this was very comfortable and kept cheering for her father.
"Dad, come on, come on quickly."
Seeing her daughter happy, Lu Chen didn't feel tired. Seeing her daughter so happy, I believe she can adapt to life in her hometown quickly?
It should be able to get along very well with grandparents.
"Come on, are there anyone going to the city? There are two less people, two less people."
"One less is going to the town, one less is."
"The countryside, the countryside, come and go to the countryside."
...
Before he walked out of the station, he heard the familiar local accent and the familiar shouts of guests, which made Lu Chen feel like he was going home instantly.
Pushing two large boxes and the daughter sitting on the boxes, he slowly walked out of the station through the ticket gate.
Immediately, a group of people gathered around and greeted the father and daughter extremely intimately, and some even wanted to take the initiative to help carry the box.
Seeing such a group of enthusiastic people scared the little girl.
"Ah, dad,halp,halp..."
The people who were originally surrounded by the people who were planning to greet Lu Chen and his daughter were stunned when they heard the girl sitting on the box jumping in English and calling for help.
A group of people didn't know what to do?
Lu Chen quickly rejected everyone's kindness.
Pushing his daughter, pulling another big box, he squeezed through the vast crowd at the exit.
Lu Xiaoxi's children's shoes were still confused and looked back from time to time sitting on the box.
He looked at the crowded crowd at the station entrance.
I think those people are really scary.
Lu Chen pushed his daughter out of the train station and came to the intersection to recruit a rough car.
He put two large boxes in the trunk and took his daughter into a taxi.
Still, he said to the driver in his hometown accent: "Go, xxx family courtyard."
The driver heard a familiar accent and responded with a smile: "Okay."
