Chapter 7 Warm, Home
There is an emotion called the timidity of the countryside.
When the train slowly entered Meicheng, an autumn rain poured in, and the raindrops hit the car windows. The city you see through the windows still has no stranger. The area near the train lane is always the most difficult and reluctant area for development in a city. Most of the old buildings or bungalow areas here are still there.
An autumn rain and a cold. When Chen Hao pulled his suitcase off the train, a cold wind blew, which instantly made him find the feeling of being in the northeast and his hometown again.
The simple train station is still not as good as the platform for renovation. The oldest old-fashioned exit of the iron fence gate can be heard from a distance from the sound of the drivers of the track line and the employees of small hotels to attract customers. Even the storm is too heavy, it cannot stop the pace of supporting the family. It is very annoying to see these people on weekdays, but when you see them in the wind and rain outside through the exit, Chen Hao no longer hates it. It is not easy to make a living.
"Xiaohao, Xiaohao!"
Closely close to the large iron door that was not opened, a slightly old dark face jumped into Chen Hao's sight, his eldest brother-in-law Ma Defu.
"Big brother-in-law." Chen Hao waved his arm and showed a bright smile on his face. In this world, apart from blood ties, this man is undoubtedly the closest person he has.
Meicheng is a small station, but it is a transportation hub. There are many people getting off the bus. Some people don’t want to go out and make phone calls on the platform. After all, there are sheds covering heavy rain above here. You have to make the choice as soon as you go out. Whether to get on a taxi or have relatives and friends to pick them up, so there are many people. There are not long queues for leaving the station. Chen Hao quickly walked out of Meicheng Railway Station.
"Hurry, give me the things." Ma Defu handed Chen Hao an open umbrella, and then took the big suitcase. Chen Hao hid for a while, but did not refuse his brother-in-law's help, and handed him a lighter computer box.
Madefu paused clearly, but said nothing, picked up the box and led the way: "My car stopped in front."
Limp.
Seeing his brother-in-law walking with his shoulders unevenly on both sides, Chen Hao sighed secretly and followed quickly. The slightly lame brother-in-law, who was married to him by his elder sister, would not believe that he would not have any intention of helping the family. It was because of the most difficult time at home that he had settled a blind date for one hundred thousand yuan, and this old-fashioned man married his beautiful elder sister.
Good fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on good fortune.
When the days passed, in the eyes of the neighbors around him, it was perhaps the happiest thing for my elder sister to find such a man in her life. Although my brother-in-law was a little unwilling to do so, as long as it was said by my elder sister, he would do it, including taking care of her father-in-law and taking care of her own family.
A very worn-out Honda automatic sedan is a brother-in-law's car. Chen Hao doesn't recognize the model. The car really looks like what the sketch says. Jiudian used cars, even Jiudian, and there is no way. There is no way. The left foot is slightly lame, and Ma Defu can only drive an automatic transmission car, so he can only choose the cheapest one to suit his use.
After getting on the bus, blocking the wind and rain, Ma Defu started the car, turned on the warm wind, and asked with a smile: "Xiaohao, it's cold, come on, smoke a cigarette."
There was also a strong smell on the car, which was mixed with the smell of smoke and the sweat of some working people sweating on their clothes over the years, as well as the obvious smell of working tools and materials. In addition to farming, Madefu can scrape big white, plumbers and electricians on weekdays, and the residual smell in the car is directly related to his work.
Along the way, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law were smoking cigarettes and chatting. Ma Defu said every word that his family missed you, his parents missed you, and his sister missed you. It can be heard that he was doing a foreshadowing, with the purpose of allowing himself to perform well after he returned home and not have conflicts with his family.
"The family life is better. I have taken up the land on the mountain in the east. After I was given compensation, my dad built a new house. This time my home is much more beautiful..."
"My parents asked your sister to have a child with me. You will be your uncle at the beginning of spring next year..."
"Your second sister is also very good. Now she is a nurse, one night and one night off. It's this boyfriend's business, which makes her parents worry-free..."
When Ma Defu said it, Chen Hao heard that when the wanderer returned home, his relatives naturally said that what the real situation was like, just give 8 points.
Chen Hao's home is located in a village around Meicheng. With the development of the city, it used to be considered the most normal but ordinary countryside. Now it has reached the edge of the city. A hill a few hundred meters away from the east was pushed and the road was covered. Now it only takes less than two minutes to drive from their home to reach the outer ring road of the city.
The heavy rain stopped before Chen Hao arrived home. The sun came out. The rainbow after the rain hangs in the horizon. Half of the brand new iron door is three meters wide. It is a large courtyard and four large main houses. It is built on a cement platform one meter higher than the ground. This is the case with the construction of new bungalows. There are two houses on both sides. Both the houses and the ground are newly renovated. On the left, the warehouses and chickens, ducks and geese shacks, and on the right is a row of houses. Like the houses at the height of the end, the windows are bright and bright, and they can be lived in.
Hearing the sound of the car, two women came out of the house and walked down the steps to greet them. Behind them, there was a half-large old man wearing clothes, standing at the door with a cigarette in his mouth, not looking forward to greet him, but Chen Hao also saw it clearly. When he came out, he was walking in a hurry and the shoes were only put on when he reached the door.
"Mom, sister."
"Hey, I'm back. Come in quickly. The room is warm and the outside is cool." The typical image of a rural woman in Northeast China is already showing off her old age just after fifty. When Qiao Xinmei saw her son come back, her face was full of folds and she smiled. She held her son's hand and stopped spreading and pulled it straight into the room.
The young woman beside Qiao Xinmei also exuded a simple atmosphere. Her once tender and beautiful face gradually lost its luster in the destruction of working in the ground. However, a special glow on her face at this time added a few more beauty to her. The beauty brought by maternal love had a slightly raised belly. If it were in the city, it would be very precious. In the countryside, it would be a common thing to have to work in the fields when she was eight or nine months pregnant, so Chen Xue's move to the ground after the rain did not make anyone feel anything.
"Sister, be careful. Be careful in the future and don't be stunned." Chen Hao took the elder sister's arm and used his body to support her. He really had to slip under his feet, and with his strength enough to support his elder sister with one arm.
Qiao Xinmei and Chen Xue reacted the same as Ma Defu when they saw Chen Hao at the train station. They were stunned for a moment, and smiled on their faces. It was uncomfortable to meet and comfortable to meet. Can this feel the same?
"Dad, I'm back."
Seeing his father Chen Yuanping standing at the door wearing clothes, Chen Hao greeted him, but compared to the fact that he either lowered his head to avoid or forced himself to laugh. This time, Chen Hao smiled from the bottom of his heart.
