Chapter 292 "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Tong Xin sat on the departing train, the window looked through layers of mountains and forests, rivers, blue sky, white clouds, and then into the tunnel.
It seems like a fragment of a person's life, with ups and downs passing by in the blink of an eye.
This time he left on a high-speed train, not the slowest green train.
When he came here, he was aimless and had no destination, but this time it seemed like he had determined his destination and he wanted to go back.
Perhaps it was his grandmother’s death that made him realize that people will die, and this life is what we call the next life.
He may have thought of some things he needed to face, so he wanted to go back.
The closer he got to home, the more nervous he became.
He walked for a long time, so long that he didn't even know how long it had been.
He recalled some things from the past when he was really a jerk.
One needs to grow in life, and after experiencing some things, he really grew up.
The moment he got off the train and stood on the platform, he became his true self.
That childlike innocence is back.
|
Same blue sky, same city, but he is different.
Tongxin returned to his previous home. Nothing had changed. The familiar shabby state and the corridors were filled with junk.
This is where he grew up, and where he once swore never to return.
But after being away for so long, the place he wanted to come back to was actually here.
Thumb thump thump~
The door opened, and the face that he once hated the most moved him.
Tong's mother had more wrinkles on her face and her temples were gray. She looked at him with an expression of surprise that was a little exaggerated.
She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the one she had been thinking about day and night. She couldn't believe that the person she had been looking for for so long appeared in front of her.
"Son...son?"
Tong's mother's eyes were moist, and these tears were real, not fake at all.
Tong's father walked out of the house and staggered to the door.
His eyes were also full of surprise, because his son really came back at that time.
Tong's parents have done a lot of bad things in their lives, but their love for Tong Xin is genuine.
Everyone knew that they loved their son.
The parents in front of me have grown old and lost their previous hostility.
Tong Xin looked at them: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Back, really back.
Tong’s mother hugged him and cried. That was the person she had been waiting for for so many days and nights to finally come back.
"Son, you're back. Mom and Dad missed you so much."
Tong's mother cried and said this, and Tong's father was standing behind her and secretly wiping away tears.
There are cruel children but no cruel parents. Maybe he will choose not to come back for the rest of his life, but it will be his parents who will never let go.
Tong Xin's heart softened in an instant. Perhaps this was what his grandmother meant when she said that letting go of obsessions would bring him liberation.
People and things have passed away, and no one remembers what was fair or unfair.
People are forgetful and often overlook details.
Tongxin did not tell them about his life experience. In this life, he was their son.
His grandmother told him that the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child.
She was right, if it weren't for his parents he might have died long ago, so what was he running away from?
When he was young, he often lay on his mother's lap. His mother would do handicrafts to earn money while coaxing him to sleep.
When the weather was hot, his mother would fan him every night, and in order not to disturb him, he never had a good night's sleep.
How do you repay this kindness?
What exactly is he running away from, this broken family of origin or the ingratitude in his heart?
Even if they are not his biological children, they are better than his biological children. He cannot impose his own shortcomings and selfishness on his parents. They are old, and what crime have they committed?
He once thought that his parents were unreasonable and scum of the society, but what about him?
Wasn't he raised by them?
What right does he have to look down on them?
He returned to his room, which was exactly the same as before. This was the place he had most wanted to escape from, but now it felt very warm.
"Son, have you eaten yet?"
Tong's mother pushed open the door and asked him cautiously.
The childish boy in the past really didn’t like listening to her nagging, and even such concern made him feel annoyed.
Tong's mother didn't dare to say a word because she remembered that he didn't like to be disturbed.
She didn't know how happy she was that he was back, so it was natural for her to see her son's expression now.
Her parents are getting old, and it can be seen from her cautiousness.
She was no longer arrogant or domineering, but just like an ordinary mother caring for her son.
Tong Xin felt a little sad at that moment:
"Mom, no need, I've eaten."
His attitude changed. He was no longer as impatient as before, but spoke in a very calm tone.
His change also surprised Tong's mother. Perhaps he had suffered a lot outside, and she felt sad.
She stepped out and slowly closed the door. The moment she closed the door, her tears fell.
My son has become thinner and darker, totally different from the majestic him before.
She didn't dare ask what he had been through.
Tong's father and mother have always been small people, with no ability, no responsibility, and no social status. They cannot give him any help, even if he tells them about any difficulties he encounters.
She knew that he was used to being strong because this family could not protect him from the wind and rain, so she felt guilty and distressed.
"have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Tong's father brought a bowl of noodles, intending to give it to Tong Xin, but no one dared to bring it in.
Just like they say, the moment our parents start to be afraid of us, they start to grow old.
When Tong Xin got up in the middle of the night to look for water, she saw a bowl of noodles on the table, which had already clumped together.
This is prepared for him, it is his favorite pickled mustard tuber and shredded pork noodle.
At that moment his eyes were wet. If this is unconditional, then love is not cheap.
His parents loved him and always will.
It's just that he chose to block out some things and turned himself into someone else.
This home was not as dilapidated as he had imagined. It was because he was blinded by the colorful world outside that he hated this home.

The next morning, when his parents woke up, they found that he had prepared breakfast.
This was the first time they had seen him cook, and cook for them.
A simple breakfast has become a priceless treasure in the hearts of parents.
Tong Xin took out three bowls from the kitchen and saw them standing there in a daze:
"Dad, Mom, let's eat."
He hadn't called him dad for many years, and Tong's father was ecstatic:
"Hey, hey."
He pulled Tong's mother and signaled her to sit down quickly.
Tong Xin is now very abnormal, completely different from before. His parents don’t know what’s going on, so they can’t believe it.
Tong Xin served them the porridge and handed them the chopsticks. Tong's father took them respectfully. Everything seemed so awkward.
Tong Xin sat down and looked at them:
"Dad, Mom, I was wrong before. I did a lot of wrong things, but I want to be better, so I hope you can forgive me."
forgive?
But they never blamed him.
