Chapter 1 1. My chapter is here
When I saw my parents again, it had actually been five years.
The east and west ends of the earth, the northern and southern hemispheres, are actually longer and farther than imagined.
As soon as I left, it was more than 2000 days and nights.
Facing his parents, Zhou Haihe suddenly didn't know what to say.Although I have always called on the phone these years, but my personality is relatively introverted, coupled with the experience of these years, and the consistent seriousness and prudence of my parents, it seems that slowly, everyone's chat content has become a pattern.Zhou Haihe was almost certain that his parents only knew that he had been studying in the United States for the past five years. The school was good, the professors were good, and the classmates were good. As for the rest, they knew nothing about it.And Zhou Haihe looked at himself, it seemed that he only knew that in the past five years, his parents were still working, their work was fine, their health was fine, and their lives were fine.Everyone is like the most familiar and strangers, separated by a huge ocean, separated by an invisible network, seems to be very close, but also seems to be far away.
In fact, Zhou Haihe has been back for 2 months, but one didn't tell Zhou's father and Zhou's mother.Because of the time difference in the United States, and he is very busy, Zhou Haihe usually takes the initiative to contact him when he has time. Zhou's father and Zhou mother are afraid of disturbing him, and they always just wait.So when I came back two months early, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother didn't get any news.When I came back, I flew to City A first, and I happened to help my tutor deal with things there. I stayed for a month and had time to deal with my own affairs.
It took a month to finally find that person's address, Xing hurried back, but what he got was more despair than five years ago.After waiting for five years, Zhou Haihe struggled for another month, but various unforeseen events ended his dilemma.In fact, this may not be bad. If you can't develop in the direction you planned, and you can't change it, then end it as soon as possible.
Zhou Haihe always remembered the famous saying "It is useful to avoid shame".Although he was not the one who escaped, he had to admit that Liu Nan's choice was not wrong, no matter from which aspect, his choice was impeccable.This kind of cognition made Zhou Haihe feel that his waiting and struggling were both ridiculous and pathetic.But this was not the reason why he left City S, it was just that the city that had absolutely nothing to do with him couldn't keep him after all.The mentor in the United States said that he was given a chance to stay in the institute and continue to study without worrying too much about the cost.But he only gave Zhou Haihe 3 months. If two months have passed, Zhou Haihe was stimulated by reality and decided to put Liu Nan aside and think about his own affairs. After all, not only Liu Nan, but also Don't just live for yourself.
When I flew back from S city, I called my parents in advance, but they refused to pick me up.Father Zhou has always been very strict with his children, but he was very satisfied with his son's decision, so he waited at home with peace of mind.At the door, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were very excited, but Zhou's father still pretended to be calm and let Zhou Haihe enter the house.It is obviously my home, but there is a long-lost feeling, familiar and strange.The home has not been redecorated, but has been properly refurbished, the old furniture is still there, the walls have been repainted, and the curtains have been replaced with new ones.There are many flowers and plants on the balcony, probably planted by Dad Bu.Zhou Haihe's room was still the same as before, even he didn't finish reading the books on the desk before leaving, and he was still lying on the desk as quietly as when he just left.This made Zhou Haihe heave a sigh of relief, the familiar feeling made people feel relaxed.
Putting down his luggage, tidying up a little, washing his hands, and sitting on the old dining table at home, Zhou Haihe finally had the real feeling that he had gone home.Smiling, he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat seriously under the greeting of his mother.Father is a serious and unsmiling person, and he never speaks during meals, but today he spoke.
"Eat more. Your mother bought them from the market early in the morning. They are the freshest. She has been busy for a long time. You should eat more."
The mother looked at the son who was eating big mouthfuls and smiled, "Your favorite sweet and sour short ribs are made by your father. He knows you like to eat them. He always cooks and learns your favorite dishes when you are not at home these days. I'll do it for you when you come back."
Zhou Haihe was a little surprised, he really didn't know that his father still had such a little warmth behind his back, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, the food is very delicious. I am in the United States, and what I miss the most is you and the food at home."
"Don't talk so much, eat, eat, eat more." Zhou's father was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly interrupted the chat between mother and son.
Zhou Haihe smiled and continued to eat obediently and hungry.Enjoying his favorite dishes that his mother habitually picked up, and his own dishes that his father pretended to be natural.Zhou Hai didn't refuse anyone who came, and he ate them all. He didn't ignore the smiles that couldn't be concealed on the faces of his parents.
As before, just after eating, Zhou's mother wiped the table, brought out the fruit, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and tidy up.Zhou Haihe got up and helped his father make a pot of tea. Zhou's father drank the tea and didn't speak for a while.Zhou Haihe suddenly felt that all this was so familiar, and his previous worries were really unnecessary.Anyway, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have never changed when it comes to facing him.They were still the same as they were five years ago, and they were the same as many years ago, loving him seriously, earnestly, and simply.Zhou Haihe felt that he was a bit "judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart", but this recognition made him very happy, with a sense of satisfaction and happiness that "so I was not abandoned".
And this recognition of being loved is too important to Zhou Haihe at this time.
Mother Zhou packed up and went back to the living room. Looking at the silent father and son, although they didn't say a word, they stayed quietly and felt very happy.Zhou Haihe smiled slightly when he saw his mother sitting over, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
