"Ah Hui, Ah Qin, you have been in the country for a long time. You all have families. Go back as soon as possible." My mother has been kind all her life, and she is still thinking about us at this moment.
"Mom, I'm not going back." My sister said as if she was being petty.
The mother scolded: "Aqin, you are a grown-up, don't act like a child. It is not easy for your husband to work with a child. I also know that he has called you several times to ask when you will go back."
"Sister, please go back first. I'll just stay here and take care of my mother. It's very hard for my brother-in-law to take care of the whole family by himself." I advised my sister.
"Ah Hui, please go back too. You also have a wife, children and a job, so don't delay." My mother said to me.
I thought for a long time and said to my mother: "Mom, how about I take you to live in the city? It would be boring to live alone in the countryside." I said to my mother.
¡°After my father left, my mother had no one to quarrel with, so she would inevitably feel lonely.
What¡¯s more important is that my mother is getting older and she lives alone in the countryside without taking care of her. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on.
¡°I can¡¯t leave this village, so just let me stay with your dad here, and occasionally I can burn incense for him.¡±
"Don't worry, I usually raise chickens and ducks, and I can also talk to the neighbors. If anything happens, I can just call you." My mother said specifically for fear that I would be worried.
I didn¡¯t agree for the time being, but after my mother and I took turns, we finally succeeded in persuading my sister to leave.
That night I sent my sister to the station to take the bus.
¡°Brother, I got a little excited when I spoke today, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± My sister suddenly said to me.
"It's okay. I can understand your mood at that time. Don't be too sad. Take good care of your children and family."
"People have to live."
I was worried that my sister would feel guilty, so I quickly enlightened her.
"Brother, you have to take good care of your mother after I leave."
"Don't worry." I didn't say much, because I knew that any words seemed so pale in front of actual actions.
After sending my sister off to the car, I returned home.
Looking at my mother, who was a bit rickety and busy in the room, I was a little confused: "Mom, what are you doing, haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"Well, after your dad left, I helped him put away his clothes. These clothes won't be used in the future. I plan to put them away just to remember them later." The mother sighed under the dim light. , continue to be busy.
I didn¡¯t say anything, went back to the room, lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Ah Hui, you leave tomorrow, don't waste time." I don't know how long it took, my mother walked into the room and said to me, seemingly not allowing me to object.
"Mom." I shouted bitterly.
My mother looked at me with low and deep eyes; "I know you can't worry about me, but I can't worry about you even more when you are here. You have already started a family and have your own family. You can't continue to stay in the same nest. , you have to be bold and brave."
¡°Just like the wealthy people in our village, they went to the city to work as a contractor and made a lot of money.¡±
In my mother's mind, being a contractor in the city is considered a success. This is the conclusion she made with her simple rural thinking, just like in the eyes of us rural people in the 1980s and 1990s, being able to enter a factory in the city Being a worker is already a respectable job.

"You all hope that Mom can live a good life, but do you know that only if you live a happy life can Mom be happy." My mother sat on the edge of the bed and patted my thigh gently.
"If you guys don't live well, Mom won't be able to eat well or sleep well."
¡°I¡¯ll go back tomorrow and be obedient.¡±
I felt like my throat was stuck and I couldn't say a word. It took me a long time to slowly speak: "Mom, I'll go back tomorrow."
"You should go to bed early, it's getting late." I said to my mother.
After hearing that I was finally willing to go back to the city tomorrow, my mother was willing to leave my room.
When all the trivial things receded like a tide, I felt as if my heart had been suddenly emptied out, everything disappeared, and I couldn't hold on to anything.
These days, all the sadness in my heart has been suppressed to the deepest level. Because I know that as the only pillar of the family, I must be strong, so I have been too calm and even a little cold these days.??.
It is precisely because of this that my sister said in excitement that I have no conscience.
Am I not sad?
I didn¡¯t dare to be sad. At that time, there were still a lot of funeral matters waiting for me to deal with, and I didn¡¯t have this leisure time at all.
Now that everything has been dealt with, emptiness and loneliness fill me up instantly like air. I am afraid of this feeling of emptiness.
In order to make myself feel better, I fumbled in my trouser pocket for a cigarette.
¡°I¡¯m so busy these days that I don¡¯t have time to smoke a cigarette, or I avoid smoking consciously or unconsciously deep in my heart.
When I picked up the cigarette and prepared to light it, I was stunned.
I thought of my father.
Before he died, he was also smoking.
Later, the cigarette was gone and the person was gone.
Sadness and helplessness overwhelmed me at this moment, suffocating me. I clutched the quilt tightly, feeling silent pain and tears streaming down my face.
The tears that I had suppressed for half a month finally flowed out today, like a river bursting its banks.
In order not to worry my mother, I wrapped my head tightly in the quilt and made no sound when I cried.
It was at this moment that I suddenly realized that my father was really gone and I would never see him again. He would not wait for me to come home, would not open the door downstairs, and would never appear again.
He really disappeared from our lives.
That was the day when I really understood that my father was gone.
It took me many years to understand: "The moment a loved one passes away usually does not make people feel sad. What really makes you feel sad is the half-pack of cigarettes after opening the cigarette box, the clothes swaying in the wind on the windowsill, The duvet folded quietly on the bed, and the noise coming from the washing machine late at night.¡±
The next day, I got up and the sun rose. My mother compressed all the traces of my father¡¯s past life into a duffel bag.
I had a meal of egg porridge made by my mother, chatted with my mother for half an hour, and walked towards the city carrying the suitcase I had brought with me.
"Ah Hui, be careful on the road." My mother stood at the door and told me, just like she told me every time I went out for more than ten years.
I didn¡¯t look back. He waved his hands and strode forward. Just like on the day of the funeral, I walked farther and farther away from my father¡¯s grave and never looked back. I dare not look back
¡¡
¡¡
After several hours of driving, I finally returned to this city that felt familiar yet strange to me after being away for a month.
It was quiet when I got home, my daughter was at school and Wu Weiwei was at work.
I was a little embarrassed to have been delayed for so long, so I called Chu Mei: "Principal Chu, I have returned from handling matters in my hometown. When can I come back to work?"
"You're back? I happen to have something urgent to ask you this afternoon, so I can't be absent." Chu Mei's tone fluctuated a bit.
Before I could ask what was going on, Chu Mei hung up the phone.
At this time, she sent me a message: "You will know in the afternoon." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
