The early spring in the Northeast is still relatively cold. There are still traces of snow and ice on the ground that have not yet melted.
Xiang Que hugged his shoulders tightly to keep warm. The coldness in the Northeast is very different from the coldness in Zhongnan Mountain. In the winter of Zhongnan Mountain, when the snow is falling, there are still hermits who only wear thin clothes and sit in the snow. In addition to penance, I also feel that it is not too cold, but in the Northeast, if anyone sits on the ground, he will suffer from cold cramps in a short time.
After getting off the train at Shenyang North Station, Xiang Que walked out of the station with a canvas bag on his back, found the nearby coach station and waited for more than an hour before boarding a bus leading to a remote mountain village more than 200 kilometers away from Shenyang. bus.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and it would take more than three hours to get home.
After getting on the bus, Xiang Que, who had been tossing around for most of the day, curled up and took a nap. He was a little tossed these days.
Xiang Que's home is a village surrounded by mountains. The small village has more than 100 households. Most of them are surnamed Xiang. His parents are still alive, and his grandparents also live in the village. He also has two older sisters, one is four years older than him and the other is two years older. Both of them got married a few years ago.
The eldest sister is married to a small boss who runs an auto repair shop in Shenyang, and the second sister is married to a small civil servant in a nearby prefecture-level city. Generally speaking, the life of the Xiang family is pretty good. worry.
Of course, except for one thing, the whole family has not seen Xiang Que who left home since childhood in twelve years.
The two married daughters are very filial. Although they are both married, they are not far from home. It takes two or three hours by car. Therefore, during the holidays, the eldest sister and the second sister's family will come back with their children. Every time I go home Xiang Que's parents are very happy, but there is also a gloomy look in their eyes, and they don't know how their son, whom they haven't seen for more than ten years, is doing now.
It was completely dark at five o'clock in the evening, the bus stopped, and the conductor told the people in the bus that they had reached the finish line. After getting off the bus, Xiang Que stood there staring at the spot for a long time, and was suddenly a little dazed.
Now the scene around here is completely different from when he left home. He was so blind that he didn't know where he should go at all. There were fields covered by heavy snow on all sides, and he couldn't see a single bit of light at a glance.
Where is this going? If you go out, don't you have to lose yourself?
Xiang Que hurriedly grabbed a man next to him, and asked, "Brother, let's find out where to go. How are you going to Xiangjiatun?"
The man sized him up a few times, and asked in surprise, "Going to Xiangjiatun? What are you doing?"
"Go home, I'm from Xiangjiatun"
The man frowned and leaned in front of Xiang Que's face. After looking at it for a long time, he said, "Go home? Why don't I know you? I'm from Xiangjiatun. I know everyone in the village. Which family are you from?" "
"Hey, relatives." Xiang Que was suddenly excited, grabbed the man's hand and said, "Brother, I'm the third son of Xiang Honest's family in the east of the village. I also have two older sisters. The eldest sister is Xiang Yulian. The second sister is called Xiang Yuping"
"Ah? What are you talking about?" The man was a little confused, and after thinking for a long time, he asked a little uncertainly: "The third son of the honest family? Don't tell me, there was indeed a kid in his family ten years ago, but Later, for some reason, that kid left the village and never came back again, is it you?"
Xiang Laoshi is the nickname of Xiang Que's father. Because he is too dutiful, has no mind, and is very practical in his work, everyone in the village calls him Xiang Laoshi.
Xiang Que nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, big brother, I am honest son Xiang, who went out to work and came back."
"Little brat, you are inferior, call me old uncle." The man slapped Xiang Que on the head, and said, "I am cousin to your father in terms of seniority, and we are a grandpa. What do you call me big brother?" Do you have to call Uncle to understand?"
"Hey, I understand, I understand, old uncle" Although he was slapped on the head that was a little numb from the cold, Xiang Que felt that his heart was always warm.
The two of them walked four or five miles on the snow, "creaking, crunching", and turned over a small hill. Light began to appear in front of them, and the outline of a village was looming. This is Xiangjiatun.
After entering the village, the man pointed to the front and said, "I haven't been home for a long time. I'll go home first and have a look, and I'll go to your house tomorrow. Walk along the path and see three brick houses, that's you." Home, your parents should be home at this point."
"Well, thank you, old man, I'll come over for a drink tomorrow when I'm free."
After greeting Xiang Que, he quickly trotted towards the east of the village. After twelve years away from home, he was eager to return home.
Xiang Que ran for three to two minutes before stopping.?It¡¯s too dangerous, please call my sister tomorrow morning and ask them to come back, I won¡¯t leave tonight¡±
"Well, yes, yes, call tomorrow"
Xiang's mother continued to ask: "Eldest son, you just came back, did you not eat?"
"After a day of driving, I ate a bowl of instant noodles"
"Sit down, and I'll cook for you. It happens that the pigs killed during the Chinese New Year still have a lot of meat left. I'll get you some sauerkraut to stew for you."
Xiang Que lost his composure all of a sudden, swallowed his saliva and said, "If there are blood sausages and big bones, I will stew them. I was thinking about eating sauerkraut stewed bones when I was on the mountain. I almost forgot what it tastes like."
"Yes, there are all of them, I have stewed them for you, you can enjoy them"
