Xu Changle looked left and right, trying to find familiar traces in the street scene outside the car window.
He went abroad at the age of 5, and he still has some impressions of Shang. His memory is really better than that of ordinary people. Even when passing Erqi Square, Xu Changle pointed to the Erqi Memorial Tower:
"This tower is different from before, it was not so tall before."
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Yes, I heard that it used to be a wooden pagoda, only 15 meters high, and it was rebuilt in 1971 to have the current memorial pagoda."
The former Erqi Memorial Tower was 15 meters high and had a wooden structure.
After the reconstruction in 1971, the tower is 63 meters high and is a reinforced concrete structure, which is of course very different.
Xu Changle lowered his head and smiled.
In 1966, he was brought to the United States by his parents. He had never seen the later Erqi Memorial Tower. When he suddenly saw it was completely different from what he remembered, he couldn't hold back for a while.
In the past 20 years, the commercial capital has undergone great changes, the streets have changed, the streetscapes have changed Xu Changle will be very happy every time he finds a place that is the same as in his memory. He is different from Tina, he was born in Shangdu, this city makes him feel close and gives him a sense of belonging.
This is completely different from Xu Zhongyi's homely feeling.
Xu Changle wanted to see his grandma soon.
No matter what the idea is, home is still a little bit closer.
At the intersection, Xu Changle's memory was fully recovered, and he was even very excited:
"I lived here when I was a kid!"
Yes, the house that Grandma Yu sticks to is where the whole family used to live.
It was confiscated by the state for a period of time, and then returned.
Grandma Yu can do nothing, and she refuses to leave this house, but she firmly believes that her son's family will find it here¡ª¡ªXu Zhongyi's changed face is shaking, no matter how excited he is, he can only make such an expression .
The street is very clean.
Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to say one more thing. Grandma Yu used to do street sweeping work, but after thinking about it, she still didn't irritate Xu Zhongyi.
She doesn't have to blame Xu Zhongyi, Xu Zhongyi only needs to explain to Grandma Yu.
Whether Grandma Yu can forgive Xu Zhongyi, Xia Xiaolan can't do it for her.
On the clean street, who knows who has laid out the red carpet and firecrackers on the side of the road, Xia Xiaolan suspected that it was the work of the street office, and they treated Xu Zhongyi and his son as foreign guests.
Seeing a few cars coming, I don't know who shouted "arrived", the firecrackers were lit, and the crackling firecrackers sounded.
I don't know how many firecrackers it was, they were set off for two full minutes, Xu Changle pushed the car door, and was hit on his clothes by the splashing firecrackers, he didn't care too much, he kept looking towards the door, trying to see his grandma's face figure.
The smoke from the firecrackers did not disperse, and Xu Changle couldn't see clearly.
"dad?"
Xu Zhongyi took a deep breath and got out of the car.
Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng also got out of the car naturally. Zhou Cheng covered Xia Xiaolan's face with his hand and even kept her behind him, for fear that she would be hurt by the firecrackers flying around.
"This battle is big enough."
Zhou Cheng didn't care about the Xu family's father and son, but only cared about his wife's thoughts.
If it wasn't for grandma's sake, what would he do with Xu Zhongyi.
Zhou Cheng still doesn't know that at this moment, he has reached an ideological unity with Comrade Lao Tang, one of the two father-in-laws Isn't this the natural fate of Weng and son-in-law?
The smoke from the firecrackers dissipated.
A group of people rushed forward, including people from the street office, neighbors from this street, and people who were out of touch, all came to join in the fun.
Xu Zhongyi looked at the door of the house, and there stood a trembling old lady.
He had never seen his old mother so close before, and only then did he realize how fast his mother was getting old.
Liu Fen supported Grandma Yu, and Grandma Yu held the threshold with the other hand. The old lady tried her best to straighten her back, trying to see the people getting off the car clearly.
Is that her son?
It looks much better.
The walking posture is different from before.
Before going abroad, he was a high-spirited young man, but when the mother and son meet again, they are in such a situation.
But that was her son.
No matter how the appearance changes, a mother can always recognize her child.
Standing next to her was her grandson Changle Liu Fen didn't explain too clearly, but only said that there was an accident in Hong Kong, and the people who came back this time were Xu Zhongyi and Xu Changle.
"Zhong Yi?"
Grandma Yu called out tentatively, Xu Zhongyi squeezed through the warmly welcoming crowd, ran a few steps, and knelt down on thein front of his mother.
"Mom, it's me! I'm Zhongyi, my son is unfilial, and I've made you suffer and suffer all these years!"
Xu Zhongyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Liu Fen was taken aback, and the neighbors who joined in the fun were also silent.
Grandma Yu had tears all over her face.
"Just come back, you hurry up, just come back"
Xu Changle actually didn't dare to admit it.
The grandma in his memory was still relatively young, and she tidied herself up very neatly, with few wrinkles on her face, and even if there were a few white hairs mixed into her black hair, she would either ask his grandpa to pull it out, or go Dyed black¡ªthe one standing in front of him now was an old lady with all white hair.
Yes, after watching the interview video of San Francisco TV earlier, I was mentally prepared.
But when you see a real person, the impact is even greater.
Xu Changle stepped forward to support the other hand of the old lady, "Grandma, I am Changle, Changle is back to see you."
The old lady's vision was blurred from crying, and she couldn't see Xu Changle's appearance clearly.
Xu Changle's hand supporting her was also trembling.
The voice calling her was full of sincere feelings, and Grandma Yu had no doubt that this must be her grandson Changle! This child has grown so big and so tall.
This pair of grandparents, this pair of mother and son, all three of them were crying.
Liu Fen glared at Xu Changle angrily at first, but when Grandma Yu cried, she cried herself.
Crying is contagious. Some neighbors used to join in the fun, and at this time there were also soft-hearted tears following:
"Hey, it's a reunion. Have you been abroad for 20 years?"
"I haven't contacted him in these years, and he didn't catch up with his father's death It's just that Xu Zhongyi looks so different from before, he really changed."
"Shhh, stop talking, doesn't it make people cry, each has its own difficulties."
"That's Aunt Yu's grandson? I remember that when I went abroad, I was still a little Douding, maybe only five or six years old, so he grew up in a flash."
Neighbors chattered a lot, Xia Xiaolan saw that everyone crowded together and pointed and pointed, so she stood up and controlled the situation:
"Listen to me, everyone. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your concern. The reunion in the past 20 years is very exciting. Grandma Yu and Uncle Xu are very emotional. It is definitely not possible to entertain everyone well at this time. Why don't we give them a family to be alone? Time, when they have calmed down, they will definitely invite the neighbors to have a lively gathering, can everyone agree?"
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
In the past, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen rented the house from their grandmother's house here, also in the name of distant relatives.
At this time, Xia Xiaolan stepped forward to make a decision, and the neighbors could not have any objections, and those who pushed me and I pushed you all withdrew. To be a human being, you have to wink. Xu Zhongyi and his son came back after 20 years, and it is impossible to leave after staying for a while. Why are you in a hurry!
Zhou Cheng also negotiated with the people in the street office in this way.
After a while, at the gate of grandma's house, there was only a piece of confetti left from the firecrackers on the ground. Without the people who joined in the fun, Xu Zhongyi still knelt down and cried bitterly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
