To put it bluntly, the driver is extremely worried and afraid that the young man will blackmail him.
In fact?
In fact, his worries are purely unnecessary, and he is purely trying to scare himself.
Sure enough, as his mind cleared up and he saw his surroundings clearly, something happened that surprised the driver and all the onlookers.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Driver, I scared you."
After getting up, the young man did not lie down again as expected, nor did he yell for compensation as expected. Instead, he unexpectedly showed an apology and took the initiative to apologize.
What’s even more incomprehensible is that after apologizing and waiting for the driver to come to his senses and pick up his backpack, the young man turned around and left. Under the surprised looks of the driver and onlookers, the young man squeezed away from the crowd and ran quickly away until He turned a corner and disappeared.
Only the driver was still in a daze, staring at the street corner in a daze like the people around him.
………
Zaozhuang is an unknown city. It is located in the north, specifically in East China. It has a mid-latitude continental climate. It seems to be in a good location, but in fact it can only be regarded as an ordinary medium-sized city. Due to the average development, it is not prosperous here. It is true that it is not as fashionable as those big cities in the south, but these are not important. What is important is that he is back.
In other words, ever since He Fei came here, some kind of indescribable intimacy has been wrapping him up and covering him, emerging deep in his heart all the time.
that is because……
This is his hometown, this is where he was born and raised!
Maybe he was moved by the scene or maybe he had been away from reality for too long. Putting aside the car accident that affected his mood just now, He Fei was always in a state of excitement. His eyes were always looking around him as he walked. He was looking at the familiar streets. He was looking at the familiar streets. Buildings, he is looking at the familiar flow of people, he is looking at everything that can bring back memories of the past, familiar scenes of death, it is true that this place is not developed and the air quality is not good, but he can smell the smell of his hometown. It has been a long time since he came to reality. It’s been a long time since I came to my hometown, and I haven’t seen my family for a long time...
Da da da.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, at this moment, He Fei, who was carrying a fashionable backpack and dressed in casual clothes, was walking on Xihuan Street. As I said before, because this is my hometown, He Fei is very familiar with the roads. He does not need to When taking a taxi, you don’t need to ask for directions, and you are currently running along the route you remembered, approaching a residential area a few hundred meters ahead. The reason is...
His home is there.
………
An ordinary city, an ordinary community. Lixin Garden is an ordinary residential community located in the West Ring Road of Zaozhuang City. Finally, after walking for more than ten minutes, He Fei entered the community. In his previous impression, the security guard at the door should be a The old man named Uncle Guo, but when he passed the gate again, he found that Uncle Guo was no longer there, replaced by a young security guard. Of course, these are not the important points. The important point is that he found the target in an instant, and then came straight in the following time. He arrived at a residential building with a No. 3 sign and climbed up floors. After reaching a certain floor, he stopped and stopped climbing at a door marked 502 on the fifth floor. forward.
Yes, this door is He Fei's home. His father, mother and sister live here. At this moment, staring at the door in front of him, He Fei has a complicated mood, both excited and frustrated. It can be clearly seen in the twitching of the face.
"call!"
Taking a long breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come, come, who is it?"
As the door knocked, it didn't take long for a woman's voice to respond. The voice was very familiar to He Fei. It was his mother's voice. After hearing the voice, He Fei hurriedly sorted out his emotions, and then said: May replied in a calm tone outside the door: "Mom, I'm Feifei!"
After answering, there was the sound of footsteps inside the door. Within a moment, the door opened directly. At the same time, a middle-aged woman with a slightly haggard face appeared in front of He Fei. It was none other than He Fei's mother!
"Ah! It's Feifei! You're back!"
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door and saw clearly that the person in front of the door was his son, the woman's haggard face instantly showed joy, and instantly turned into a smile. Yes, even though He Fei had been in the cursed space for several months, he still asked. Don't forget that the passage of time in the cursed space is different from that in the real world. Calculating it based on time means that He Fei has actually not gone home to meet his family for almost half a year. The result is predictable. After seeing his son for a long time, the mother is not happy. It can be said that he is extremely happy. Similarly, how can He Fei not be happy after seeing his mother? Not excited? Apart from being happy, there was also a hint of sadness in my heart, and I could feel the mother's hard work from her slightly haggard face.
This is his mother, a mother with a low level of education but who raised him up with his father, the most ordinary mother in the world.
It was his parents who raised him, and it was his parents who borrowed money for him to attend college.
"mom!"
Staring at the mother in front of him, He Fei was moved by the scene, and after calling her, he jumped straight into the woman's arms, and took the initiative to hug her. Tears could not help but flow out of his eyes at this moment.
There is no doubt that the college student was moved by the scene. Unexpectedly, his reaction shocked the mother He who was originally happy. Seeing her son hugging her for no reason, she burst into tears. For a moment, the woman was at a loss, and then asked with a worried look on her face: " Eh? Feifei, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Could something have happened? "
He Fei did not answer immediately, but continued to hug without saying a word. After a long time, the young man wiped his tears and shook his head with a smile and argued: "How could that be? I am homesick."
"Hey, you kid really scared me to death just now. I thought... Okay, okay, stop standing outside the door and go inside quickly."
Soon, as the door closed, the mother and son returned to this warm little home with three bedrooms and one living room. It is worth mentioning that although He Fei's family lives in the community, this house is not actually the house where He Fei lived since he was a child. The house was purchased by my father with a loan six years ago. In his words, there is no need to think about it. After working hard for nearly half a life, as the head of the family, he must give his wife and children a comfortable living environment no matter what, so he gritted his teeth. I took out a loan to buy a house in the city.
Back to the topic, he came to the living room and took a closer look. He Fei first discovered that the environment in his home has not changed much in the past year. Except for some scattered decorations, the rest has remained the same. In the living room, the TV is still the same and the sofa is still the same. There is a sofa, the furniture is still the same, and the furnishings in the home are basically the same as before leaving home. But because they have not changed much, when entering the living room, a warm atmosphere hits the face. To be honest, He Fei misses this kind of thing very much. It feels like, after all, the word home is not only of great significance to him, but also has special meaning to all Chinese people.
Out of habit, as soon as he changed into his slippers, He Fei unconsciously sat down on the sofa like an old man. He felt refreshed and was enjoying the comfort of a college student. However, his mother was a little confused. She said this, but the fact is even more true. In this way, as the door closed and the body turned around, the woman's initial joy at meeting her son had turned into a look of confusion. The reason came from university regulations. In the impression, the university He Fei attended was a fully closed boarding school, except for summer vacations or personal visits every year. Unless there is something else, he is not allowed to go home for the rest of the year. It is only early May, and there are still nearly two months before He Fei's vacation. Logically speaking, even if his son goes home, he should not choose this time. Why is his son coming back now? ?
Like most ordinary mothers in the country, they hope that their children will succeed and their daughters will succeed. Their hope that their children will be successful in the future overwhelms Mother He's earlier joy. Especially when they find out that the date of their son's return is wrong, Mother He is the first to do so. Asked his doubts: "By the way Feifei, it's only May and it's not summer vacation. Why are you back from school? You didn't even call in advance before coming. What's going on?"
(What!)
As described above, He Fei thought that his family thought he was missing because he had not been home during the summer vacation last year. At first, he thought hard about how to make up lies. Unexpectedly, after meeting, his mother unexpectedly Didn't you mention that you never went home last year? Do you only care about returning early this year? This, what is going on?
(Could it be caused by a curse? In order not to affect social stability, the curse will create an illusion every time someone is pulled into the hell train, thereby exerting a conscious influence on all acquaintances of the missing person, and ultimately creating the illusion that the missing person has never left. ? If the guess is correct, doesn’t it mean that my family, friends and even teachers and classmates all think that I am still there? In this way, they are all affected by the consciousness of the cursed supernatural power?)
(Okay, let’s take it that way for the time being. If it is true, it will be a big help to me. At least I won’t have to construct additional lies.)
"Hey, Feifei? Feifei, why don't you speak?"
Listening to his mother's question, He Fei quickly broke away from his thoughts. Then, He Fei smiled and replied with a smile on his face: "Mom, look at you, you are scared. Your son, I did not skip school. The reason why I hurried home this time before summer vacation is actually It was an emergency, or I just asked for leave on purpose.
"You specifically asked for leave to come back? What's wrong, Feifei, do you have something to come back for?"
Seeing that his mother asked curiously as expected, He Fei smiled and replied: "As for the reason, hehe, it is to give mom, dad and sister a big surprise!"
"Huh? What a big surprise?"
Sure enough, after hearing He Fei's last words, his mother was stunned, and then subconsciously said: "What? Surprise? What surprise? You kid is telling lies. If you feel homesick, just go home and have a look. Don't deliberately make up lies. Okay. Okay, you go to the kitchen and wash your face first, I will change clothes and go out to buy groceries, wait until I come back to talk about anything else."
That's right, in fact, no matter what the reason for He Fei's return, He's mother was still happy to see her son back, so she would naturally get busy like most parents who love their children, planning to go out to buy groceries and cook a delicious meal for her son. only……
"Mom, wait a minute!"
While talking, He Fei didn't wait for He's mother to leave. Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, He Fei suddenly became anxious. He first stopped his mother who was about to go out to buy groceries, and then picked up his backpack and rummaged through it under the eyes of the other party who were full of doubts. , finally stood up and put a bank card in her mother's hand.
"Mom, here is 3 million, take it."
"What? Feifei, what did you say?"
"I mean there is 3 million yuan in this card, which is the prize I won in the lottery not long ago. In fact, I specifically asked for leave from school this time to go home. The purpose is to hand over the money to you and dad with my own hands. Now, this money belongs to you and dad."
Silence, silence, silence.
At this moment, listening to what He Fei said, staring at the magnetic card in his hand, for some reason, he was stunned for a moment, and Mother He's shocked face gradually turned to relief. Yes, in Mother He's opinion, the card that her son gave to her was absolutely impossible. It was a lottery win, but it was the other party who had the greatest chance of getting a scholarship in school. Although she was happy that her son could get a scholarship, it was definitely not as exaggerated as 3 million. It was estimated that a few thousand dollars would be enough, so in her opinion, just He Fei just made a little joke with himself.
Thinking of this, Mother He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Look at you kid, I haven't seen you for a while, you have learned to joke with your mother now, don't worry, I will take your scholarship money out of the bank after buying groceries, okay?" I’m chatting with you, you can watch TV first, there are drinks in the kitchen refrigerator, and I’m going out to buy groceries.”
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that your sister hasn't been feeling well these past two days and is currently sleeping in the bedroom. Don't disturb her. I'll talk about it when I get back later."
After finishing her instructions, without waiting for He Fei's answer, He's mother put on her coat and pushed out the door, leaving He Fei alone in the living room speechless.
(I'm dizzy!)
There is no doubt that He Fei instantly guessed that his mother had misunderstood, not to mention that his mother had personally said that the card was a scholarship, and just from the gratified expression on the other party's face, he was obviously treating the bank card as a sign of his filial piety to his parents. scholarship. Even so, he did not continue to argue with his mother. Instead, he allowed her to open the door and leave. The reason was too simple, because he knew that it would not take long for his mother to know the answer and she would thoroughly check the card when withdrawing money. How much money is there.
Yes, this family has been poor for too long. When I finally go home, I have to solve the family's financial problems first no matter what.
Back to business, he watched his mother go out. In the living room, He Fei stopped thinking and stopped thinking about it. After all, the purpose of coming back this time was to reunite with his family, so naturally, he raised his hands and rubbed his face. The young man instantly put all his worries behind him. As the saying goes, everything is fine. No matter what, he still has six full days to spend time with his family. Sure enough, as he figured this out, He Fei returned to his hearty face and smiled, and then he turned around and approached due to some kind of thoughts. Go straight to a room on the right.
Yes, that was the bedroom, the room of his sister He Meng. Not only his parents, but as the brother, he also wanted to give his sister a surprise.
