Night falls earlier in winter, usually by five o'clock, it is almost completely dark.
Yin Zhiping practiced until a little after four o'clock. When he saw the sun starting to set clearly in the sky, he stopped and drove to his parents' home.
His father's name is Yin Mingde, which is taken from the first sentence of the Confucian classic "The Great Learning", "The way of a great university lies in Ming Mingde". Yin Mingde teaches at Gangwon University in this city. He is over sixty and has retired long ago. It¡¯s just that I couldn¡¯t take any time off after retirement, so I was re-employed by the school. However, the course schedule after re-employment is much less than before retirement, so I am very leisurely on weekdays.
My parents¡¯ house is located in a community for family members of faculty and staff in Gangwon University and has been there for decades. Gangwon University is also on the north bank of the Yangtze River. When it was first built, it was not far from the Yangtze River. With subsequent development and expansion, its southernmost campus now extends to the bank of the Yangtze River. Last year, an annex was built along the river. The campus park has become a scene of the university.
This park can be said to be across the river from the community on the south bank of the Yangtze River where Yin Zhiping is located. During the day, if you stand on the rooftop of the 18th floor, if your eyesight is good enough, you can see some scenes on the university campus across the river.
When he drove to the downstairs where his parents¡¯ house was, it was just getting dark. Yin Zhiping looked at the time on his phone and it was 5:20. Looking through the car window, he didn't see his eldest brother Yin Xiuqi's car downstairs. He smiled slightly. He finally arrived earlier than his eldest brother and his family.
His parents¡¯ house was on the third floor. He parked the car, took his phone and keys, and went straight to the third floor. Not long after ringing the doorbell, the security door opened. Yin Zhiping saw that it was his father who opened the door. Hiding the excitement in his heart, he smiled and shouted: "Dad!"
Yin Mingde was a little surprised when he saw him. After responding, he stepped back and opened the door and said, "You came quite early today!"
Yin Zhiping walked in and closed the door behind him. He said: "I'm fine, so naturally I came early." After that, he changed into slippers at the shoe rack at the door, and then went straight to the kitchen. Sure enough, he saw his mother busy in the kitchen, and shouted happily: "Mom! "
"Zhiping, you're here, you came really early today!" Mother turned around and said with a smile, "Go sit on the sofa and watch TV first, and wait for your brother and his family to arrive. Let's prepare for dinner."
Yin Zhiping did not go to the sofa. Instead, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mom, let me help you!"
¡°No, you can just sit down, there¡¯s not much left.¡± Mother Yin refused with a smile.
Yin Zhiping ignored her and walked straight into the kitchen and said, "There's not much left. I'll take care of the rest. Mom, just rest." After saying that, he went to grab the coriander she was choosing.
Mother Yin lowered her hand to avoid it, pointed at the bowl of diced meat on the chopping board and said, "Okay. I'll do this. If you want to help, chop the bowl of meat into pieces for me. My hands are not strong enough." "
In the end, she no longer refused her son¡¯s help, but she smiled even happier. During family dinners. Yin Zhiping is usually the last one to arrive, and usually the first one to leave after eating. Not to mention helping her with housework and housework, it seems that she doesn't want to stay at home any longer. Not only did it come so early today. She even offered to help her as soon as she walked in, which was really rare. She almost doubted it. The sun rises in the west today.
Yin Mingde stood in the living room and watched Yin Zhiping helping in the kitchen. He also felt that his youngest son was strange and abnormal today. But this strangeness and abnormality is good. So he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. It would be more gratifying if Yin Zhiping could do this often in the future.
He looked at the kitchen for a while, then walked back to the sofa and sat down to watch TV. Then he watched a piece of news, and suddenly the doorbell rang again. Just as he was about to get up and open the door, Yin Zhiping suddenly came out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, sit down and I'll open the door. It must be brother and the others."
After saying that, Yin Zhiping walked to the door and opened the door. As expected, it was his eldest brother Yin Xiuqi's family. He smiled at Yin Xiuqi and his sister-in-law Freelan and shouted, "Brother! Sister-in-law!" Then he greeted his niece Yin Fangting, who was standing between them, and said, "Tingting!"
"Zhiping, it's you, why are you here so early today?" Yin Xiuqi was also very surprised that he came so early today. As he walked in, he said, "I saw your car downstairs just now. I thought I made a mistake?"
"Uncle!" Yin Fangting took advantage of her father's speech to respond to Yin Zhiping's greeting and called him.
Yin Zhiping let the car drive and welcomed them in. He smiled at Yin Xiuqi and said, "Brother, you are looking at people through colored glasses. Can't I come so early?"
"You can come if you can, isn't this too unexpected for me!" Yin Xiuqi smiled, continued to walk in, and called to his father sitting on the sofa and his mother in the kitchen: "Dad! Mom!"
Freelan followed and called each otherThere was a sound, and then Yin Fangting shouted happily, "Grandpa! Grandma!"
After saying hello, Freeland also took off her coat and washed her hands, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help Mother Yin cook. Now that Freelan had gone in to help, Yin Zhiping couldn't help but squeeze in, so he sat on the sofa and talked with his father, eldest brother, and niece.
Every time there is a family dinner, Yin¡¯s mother starts preparations very early and can start cooking as soon as everyone arrives without any delay. It was the same this time. Not long after Yin Zhiping and the others sat on the sofa, the dishes in the kitchen were already being prepared and served on the table.
When the dishes are finally served, everyone goes to the table to eat together. We had a great time eating and talking during the dinner.
Not long after finishing the meal, Yin Zhiping was afraid that his parents, brother and sister-in-law would talk about his marriage later, so he withdrew one step ahead of time on the pretext of being busy with work, without giving them a chance to talk.
After leaving the door, I walked in the corridor and looked at the time on my phone. It was already past seven o'clock. By the time I got downstairs and walked outside, it was completely dark. Where there are no street lights, it is dark. Looking up, the night sky is dotted with stars. The visibility is quite good tonight.
As soon as it gets dark, the temperature outside becomes even colder. But for Yin Zhiping now, this temperature change is nothing. With his current skill, he has already been able to withstand the cold and heat.
After getting into the car, he turned the ignition on and turned out of the family building, heading towards the campus park that was built last year. This park is built along the river bank and is open to the public. It is not closed and can lead to Binjiang Road along the river. After getting on Binjiang Road, he could go straight to Caiyun Bridge without having to make a few more twists and turns, and then cross the bridge back to his home on the other side.
"Ah! Help!"
Not far from the campus park, driving on Binjiang Road, passing by a dark alley with no street lights, Yin Zhiping suddenly heard a woman screaming and calling for help from the alley. He quickly stepped on the brakes and stopped. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
