C74 Home Is Ready

"[Silently changing earth will carve the flow of time deep into memory] My longing for my hometown has slowly fused into my heart, and my hopes for the future have been set. " - - - A cursive poem.

"Mom, our mining area has changed again! In the past, it was hard to plant even a single tree. Now, planting so many trees doesn't count. We can still build a park on such hard mountain rocks? " Xinzi allowed herself to indulge in her parents' pampering and eat the specialty dishes at the border in large mouthfuls. He took the phone from his mother and looked at the photos. "Why didn't you send it to me before?"

"Aren't you afraid that you'll miss home?" His mother spoke hesitantly. She looked apologetically at her daughter. "I know. You miss the border, but Mom and Dad want Ye Luo to return to his roots. Taking care of the old man. . . And also hoping that you can broaden your horizons. . . Now, your dad and I have returned to the East River. Our home is settled here!"

" Mom. . . "Xinzi quickly blinked her eyes, wanting to dissolve the surging haze as soon as possible. " I know, wherever you and Dad are, there will be a home. . . It's just that the border is my hometown in my heart, I can't forget, nor can I change it! "

His father put down the dishes he wanted to wash and walked out of the kitchen. Standing behind his daughter, he said, "Daughter, The border is our hometown. Father and mother will never forget that place. So, before your mother and I come back, I took a lot of photos of the border and asked Principal Wu of your former high school to help save them into the Cloud Plate. He said that you would go online, You can log in at any time and look at it slowly. "

"Yes!" Xinzi shed her tears and raised her head to snuggle up to her loving parents. She nodded and smiled. "I'll pick some pretty ones from the inside and post them online. I'll ask the people of Dongjiang to take a look at the changes in the border. "

"Xiaozi. . . " Mother's heart ached for her daughter. She reached out and stroked her hair, "The internet technology is getting better and better now. We can see how the frontier will develop in the future anytime and anywhere. Father and mother will watch it with you. . . "

"Alright!"

Lan Jialin stood at the intersection and saw a place surrounded by a green grass imitation cloth. Unable to distinguish the location of his home from his memories, he continued to look around. Her heart and mouth were filled with emotions, "Old Xia. . . If it wasn't for Qingqing, I really wouldn't be able to recognize that this was our old courtyard. And Garden Street. Can you recognize it? Old Xia?. . . Old Xia?"

The husband beside her was silent. Lan Jialin turned around in surprise, only to see Xia Yanju's body collapse. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the spot where the excavator and forklift were flipping, and then he quickly rushed over.

"Old Xia, slow down. Wait for me!" Lan Jialin also followed him and followed her husband through the gap to look inside. . . . "Aiya, so quickly, it's all dismantled. "

Inside the surrounding cloth, the old walls and old walls were ruthlessly smashed and uprooted. They collapsed into bricks and stone debris. The dust that flew about in the air gradually scattered. The old courtyard that used to be in ruins was silent and did not struggle at all. Xia Yanju's eyes were blurry. He could not help but take off his glasses and rub them repeatedly with his fingers.

Seeing the injustice on the roadside, Xia Thorn hurried over to support his mother and blamed his father. "Only now did I think of coming back. I don't even have the chance to take a picture with the old courtyard to celebrate my birthday. It's too late to cry! "

"Stinking brat!" His son's words caused Xia Yanju's tears to become clear. "You want the old house, but you don't know that I want it even more!"

"Old Xia. . . " Lan Jialin pulled her husband's arm in pain and pointed her middle finger at the yard. "I didn't expect that those parasol trees and potted trees were still there. . . At that time, Qingqing really liked it when you added wood to the trees, tied a rope, and pushed him to swing. "

"Yeah, he refused to come down after he went on the swing. The mosquitoes and bugs don't care even if their faces are full of bumps. You can only stand aside and fan him. "

"Am I that stupid?" Xia Jiqing did not want to admit that he was a sand eagle. He only remembered the time when he was staring at the caterpillar from the side of the climbing tiger and a small patch of flowers.

The Xia family's colt was slightly dissatisfied. "Qingqing, did you forget? Grandma's heart ached for you. At night, she used the ointment to wipe you all over. Grandpa ordered the mosquito repellent incense and pushed it under your bed. . . "

" Why don't you remember? When I was young, my grandparents were always by my side. I don't think you can hold a swing for me a few times, that's why I can't remember. "

" This. . . "Xia Yan retorted, but Lan Jialin took out her phone. " Qingqing, Mom only knows that you only care about fashion and don't pay much attention to Mom and Dad! "

"Why do you say that about me? I insist on calling you every week. Grandpa taught me this before. "

"Dad and mom have Facebook. Have you forgotten? Mom sent it inside. Dad took a picture of you swinging. " Lan Jialin used her phone to flip the pages. "Look, isn't it on that corner?. . . It will soon be razed to the ground. I wonder what will happen to those old trees? Qingqing, what do you think? Can we go in now and take a photo on that tree?"

" Then how can we take a photo? A pile of rubble and bricks. For the sake of safety, the construction site definitely won't let us in. " Xia Thorn muttered to himself as he saw the construction site managers looking towards the gap.

He felt a little regretful in his heart - Recently, why had he been so focused on taking pictures of Dongjiang New City that he hadn't thought of entering the old house to take pictures for his sake?

"Jialin, there's no need to feel regret. Our old home will undergo a huge transformation. " Xia Yanju turned around and pointed at the Garden Street that could barely move parallel to each other. "At that time, when you were carrying Qingqing. . . No matter how busy I was studying, I would accompany you to walk back and forth on the roadside every evening. At that time. . . You always feel that the sidewalk is too narrow and it is uncomfortable to walk side by side with two people. . . But I have seen the plan. This Garden Street will be expanded into a new commercial square and a new concept park, and the road will be expanded to four streets. When we come back in the future, No matter how fat you are, I can always accompany you. Take your little grandson and walk the streets comfortably. "

"Hey, Old Xia, what are you talking about? How fat can I be?" Lan Jialing smiled and said, "Besides, Qingqing's marriage only has one side to it. He and Lina probably don't have the intention of having a wedding yet. Isn't that right, son?"

"Who said that I must marry Lina?" There were many clouds in the sky, and the sun was hidden behind the clouds. It made Summer Thorn feel a little cold. He tightened his down jacket. He didn't know why he had said that.

"What's wrong? Did you get into an argument with Lina? No wonder you're saying 'New City Night Speech' on your own. "

"Mom, it's not like that. Isn't that our villa bought in the East River New City? Even if I don't live there, it's still considered a new home, right? Who wants a new home to be so desolate? That's why I want to share my opinions with the new neighbors. "

" Mm, you can give your suggestions, but you can't act recklessly. " Xia Yanju looked at his son with a serious expression. "I remember that when you went back to your country to start your business, you said that everything depends on the overall situation, think more, calm, and rational!"

"Aiyo, that's enough, Dad! You haven't taught me in the past few years, but I've done a good job on the website and blogs, haven't I? Which of my posts are baseless and unreasonable? " After standing there for a long time, Summer Thorned Green's feet were numb from the cold. He stomped his foot and wanted to hurry back to the sports car. "Watch carefully. Let's hurry back. "

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The machine and the brick collided, pulling the Xia family's trio's steps. Turning around, Xia Yanju and his son looked back into the wall. In the midst of the smoke and dust, more and more scenes were etched into their memories.

"Wuuu -" In the eastern river, the sound of the deep-water cruise ship could be heard.

Lan Family's Lin Ying greeted him. Looking at the direction of the river from afar, one could see that the new landmark building was tall and straight. On one side, at the top of the world-famous multi-purpose commercial building, the national flag was fluttering in the wind!

"Old Xia, our East River will become even more beautiful, right?"

"Hmm?" Xia Jiaju's thoughts were pulled out of his memory. Following his wife's gaze, he looked into the distance and said, "Home, I hope you'll be sincere!"

"Ah Sheng, didn't you say that you're not going out tonight and that you want to learn cybertechnology?"

At night, Tan Linki, who had returned to his hometown in a hurry, did not have time to rest. He took out an axe and chiseled it. He wanted to start fixing the old furniture in the living room. When he saw his son come out of the house, he asked in a low voice, Ah Sheng, didn't you say that you won't be going out tonight?

"Dad, we're moving to a new house at the end of the year. We won't bring these old houses there anymore, so don't repair them. You came all the way back from overseas, so you should rest early. " Tan Yin saw the white hair on her father's head and was in a trance.

"Rest for what? The farmers are used to doing it. I work overseas sometimes until one or two o'clock at night. My heart aches for me. . . Help me add some tea. The water overseas isn't as good as the water from my hometown. " Carpenter Tan carefully examined the table that had been used for decades. "Even if these old homes are not taken away, I still have to fix them properly. This is when your mother and I got married. . . Your grandpa and I made it personally. "

"Dad, let's not change the table then. We'll use this. "

"What nonsense are you saying? If you want to use it, your daughter-in-law won't like it. " Tan Linji touched the fallen wood and sighed. "Nowadays, the modern furniture on the internet is getting more and more exquisite and beautiful. I estimate that in the future, there will be fewer people buying those wooden sculptures, and the production will also need to be mechanical. "

"Dad, when you come back this time, don't go next year. " Tan Yin's heart ached more and more. "The village is moving, and the number of wooden sculptures that need to be done is getting lesser and lesser. You can't stay idle, so you followed Uncle overseas. But at the end of the year, we'll get a new house. I'll live with you, so you don't have to work hard! "

" How can that be? You're married, so there's still a lot of money to use. " Carpenter Tan tried his best to straighten his back and hide the hardships of his overseas work. "I saw the content of the other part of the 'New City Night Speech'. It's really beautiful! In the future, you two can add another set like that. "

"Dad, that area is filled with high-end consumables. She shouldn't be such a extravagant person!"

"What's wrong?" Tan Linki's eyes lit up.

"Ah, Dad!" Tan Yin quickly turned around, returned to his room, and took out a package. "Since you can't sleep, let's go to the Yangxia River?"

"What?" His father was stunned as his wrist was pulled.

"I'm fishing!" Tan Yin opened the door. "I remember having a fever when I was young. I really want to eat meat. You couldn't do anything about it because of me. In the middle of the night, you went to the Yangxia River to fish a few small fish and asked Mom to make soup for me. . . That soup is so fragrant!"

The father and son walked out of the courtyard and saw that the Yangxia River not far away was faintly flashing under the lights of the Dongjiang New City.

"It's only been a year since we left. This place has changed so much!" Tan Linji sighed.

"It will be even more beautiful in the future!" Tan Ming looked at his father with sparkling eyes. " However, we have to catch the fish as soon as possible. If we set up a fence by the river in the future, we won't be able to go down again. "
