Chapter 764 765. Returning Home, Old Mother
After listening to Yue Wenxuan's introduction, the security guard, Uncle Jiao, suddenly showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He reached out and took the Peony cigarette handed to him by Yue Wenxuan. His eyes fell on Yue Wenxuan and he looked him up and down again.

"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have recognized you.

I haven't seen you for about three or four years. You've changed a lot. You look more and more handsome, but your face is still a little dark.

Otherwise, looking at the way you are dressed, you don’t look like an educated youth who has returned to the city, but rather like an overseas Chinese who has returned to China.”

Yue Wenxuan smiled and picked up the two suitcases again, "Uncle Jiao, are my parents home?"

"I haven't gotten off work yet. No one is at home. Do you know where the house key is? Do you need me to tell you?"

"Is it still in the cupboard?" This happened several years ago. Yue Wenxuan really didn't know whether parents today would still keep the key in the cupboard.

"That's right, the key to your house is in the cupboard." Uncle Jiao then repeated the details of where the key was placed.

It is working hours now, and there are only a few retired elderly people and unemployed people in the compound. When Yue Wenxuan meets someone familiar, he will greet them with a smile.

This compound is the exclusive compound of the institute. There are five red brick tube buildings in the compound. The house allocated to the Yue family is on the third floor of Building No. 2.

After finding the key in his own cupboard in the corridor, Yue Wenxuan opened the familiar door and walked in.

The house was not very big, only about 30 square meters in total, and was divided into two rooms. The small room inside was the bedroom of Yue Wenxuan's parents, and the large room outside had been partitioned into a small living room and two small bedrooms.

The two bedrooms were very small, and each room had a bunk bed. Before Yue Wenxuan went to the countryside, he and his elder brother lived in one room, and his two younger sisters lived in another.

Although the family lives in a very compact space, they can still make do.

In old-style tube-shaped buildings like this, each household does not have a kitchen or bathroom.

The corridor outside is not only for people to pass through, but also the location of the public kitchen. Each household puts a honeycomb coal stove at the door and a high table as a chopping board, which is considered a simple kitchen.

If conditions permit, a cupboard will be placed there. If not, the high table can be used as both a chopping board and a kitchen cabinet, but the space is a bit compact, so you can only use it as is.

Although he had been away from home for four years, the layout and furniture arrangement of the house seemed to have not changed. Yue Wenxuan looked around and found that it was almost the same as four years ago.

Yue Wenxuan was worried that there were people at home, so he filled both suitcases. While no one was at home, he could tidy up a bit and take out some more things from the space.

After taking out the things in the two suitcases and putting them in order, Yue Wenxuan saw that it was still early and he had nothing to do, so he simply started preparing the ingredients for dinner.

After packing up the ingredients, Yue Wenxuan found a book from the space and began to read it slowly to pass the time.

The first person to return home was not Yue Wenxuan's parents, but Yue Wenxuan's younger sister Yue Ruoyun.

Yue Wenxuan's third sister is two years younger than him. She was born in 1959. After her birth, she encountered the most difficult years, and Yue's mother's health suffered a little. After the birth of the third daughter, it was four years later that Yue's mother had a youngest daughter.

In other words, fourth sister Yue Ruoyun is six years younger than Yue Wenxuan and is not yet fourteen years old.

When Yue Ruoyun saw that the wooden door of her house was open, she thought her mother had returned home early from get off work. However, she did not expect to see a tall and handsome young man when she entered the house.

At first, she did not recognize that the strange young man in front of her was her second brother. It was mainly because Yue Wenxuan had changed so much, and four years had passed. Yue Ruoyun's memory of her second brother still stayed at the time when she was nine years old.

Yue Wenxuan's face was about 50% similar to his father's. When Yue Ruoyun saw this familiar face, she was stunned for a moment and finally realized that this was her second brother.

"Brother, you're back in the city!" Yue Ruoyun threw away the schoolbag in her hand and rushed forward. "Why didn't you write a letter or send a telegram in advance? If my parents knew, I don't know how happy they would be!"

Yue Wenxuan held his little sister in his arms and said lovingly, "I just want to give you a surprise. How about it? Is the surprise big enough?"

"Big, so big, I'm so happy!" Yue Ruoyun hugged her second brother's waist tightly, unwilling to let go, "Second brother, if you don't come back, I will forget you. You have changed a lot, you are taller than our father, our father will be shocked if he sees you."

“I don’t know if our dad would be shocked, but I was shocked by a little girl like you.

It's only been four years since I last saw you, and you've changed so much. If I saw you on the street, I probably wouldn't recognize you. "

Yue Ruoyun raised her little face and asked with great pride: "Second brother, am I more beautiful than before? They all say that I am getting more and more beautiful."

"She is indeed prettier than before, but why is she still as short as before?" Yue Wenxuan put his little sister down and teased her deliberately, "Could my lovely sister be a dwarf?"

"How am I short? Among the girls in my class, my height is average, okay?"

Everyone in Yue Wenxuan's family is relatively tall, but Yue Ruoyun's height is just average among her peers. She has always been quite worried about her height, and when she heard her second brother belittling her like that, she immediately became like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

Yue Ruoyun said unconfidently: "My mother said that everyone in our family grows up later. My third sister suddenly grew taller when she was fifteen or sixteen."

Yue Wenxuan noticed that his younger sister was a little worried about her height, so he stopped joking with her and said seriously:
"Our mom is right, based on our family's genes, you will definitely be a tall person.

I also suddenly grew taller when I was eighteen years old. I grew almost ten centimeters in one year.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough nutrition at that time, so I stopped growing at 1.81 meters. If I had eaten enough every day, I think I might have grown to 1.85 meters.”

"Then you'll become a telephone pole, how can you find a wife?" Yue Ruoyun spoke like a little adult, "You're already very tall now, luckily I didn't let you have enough food, otherwise it would have hindered your search for a wife."

"I shouldn't have brought you so many gifts! I don't think you are my biological sister. My biological sister would not be so cruel." Yue Wenxuan pretended to be sad. "My second brother is hungry in the countryside every day. Do you know how miserable he is? You even said something sarcastic. There are no more gifts."

When Yue Ruoyun heard that there was a gift, her eyes lit up immediately and she immediately put on an obedient look again, "Second brother, I was just joking with you, can't you hear it?

What do you want to eat tonight? How about white noodles? When mom comes back, I will speak well of you and ask her to give you some good nutrition. "

"Why are you swallowing your saliva? I think you are the one who wants to eat white noodles. My second brother has long been accustomed to the hardships in the countryside. He doesn't need to eat white noodles. I think it's good enough to eat corn steamed bread tonight."

Yue Wenxuan teased his younger sister for a few words before turning around and leaving. He quickly brought all the gifts he had prepared for her.

The gift Yue Wenxuan prepared for his younger sister was a pure wool red scarf and a bag of White Rabbit milk candy.

When Yue Ruoyun saw these two gifts, she jumped three feet high and was so happy.

Compared to the beautiful red scarf, food is obviously more important. Yue Ruoyun couldn't wait to peel a candy and put it in her mouth. The fragrant and sweet taste almost melted her.

After putting the candy into her mouth, Yue Ruoyun picked up the beautiful red scarf and caressed it lovingly. At Yue Wenxuan's suggestion, she quickly wrapped it around her neck.

Yue Ruoyun went to look in front of the mirror. The more she looked, the more beautiful she became. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

As the brother and sister were talking, Cong Qiuhui finally came home from get off work. When she walked into the house, she suddenly saw her second son standing in front of her, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Yue Wenxuan quickly walked forward and gave his mother a gentle hug. Before he could say anything, Cong Qiuhui hugged her son tightly in her arms.

She held her arms very tightly, as if she was afraid that her son, whom she hadn't seen for several years, would fly away again.

"Mom, I'm back, right? You should be happy. Now that I'm back, I won't leave. I will stay by your side forever."

Yue Wenxuan's back was soon wet with his mother's tears, and he quickly spoke out to comfort her.

His words were too sudden for his mother Cong Qiuhui, who was not mentally prepared at all. Cong Qiuhui immediately loosened her arms, with tears on her face, and asked impatiently:
"You said you weren't leaving. What's going on? Did you get into trouble over there?"

"What are you thinking, how could I, such an honest person, get into trouble?
I have already completed the procedures for returning to the city. From now on, I will stay by your side and won't leave!

Even I don’t have a job, and I’m almost 20 years old. If I stay at home and eat for free, I don’t know if I will be kicked out.”

Seeing that her son was still in the mood to joke with her, Cong Qiuhui finally felt relieved.

She didn't rush to ask, but quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

Seeing his mother's graceful movements in front of him and comparing them with his past memories, Yue Wenxuan couldn't help feeling a little sour and painful in his heart.

Yue Wenxuan's mother was born in a scholarly family and was a college student. She was originally a very elegant and beautiful person. But after being impacted by the special period, she became obviously much older in just a few years.

It's only been four years since I last saw him, and he seems to have aged a lot. Although he is only forty-five years old, there are obvious wrinkles on his face, and he looks like he is fifty.

After wiping the tears off her face, she continued to ask, "Tell me, what happened? Returning to the city is not an easy thing. Those with good family backgrounds may not have a chance. My family has overseas connections, so even if there is something good, it won't be our turn."

"It's actually quite simple. I managed to get a certificate from the doctor stating that I was seriously ill, and it was easy for me to go through the procedures to return to the city due to illness."

After hearing her son's explanation, Cong Qiuhui was shocked and grabbed Yue Wenxuan's hand tightly, and asked anxiously: "You didn't do anything stupid? Returning to the city is just a matter of time. You are still young and you will always have a chance in the future.

But your health is a lifelong matter!
If you ruin your health, it will be too late to regret it later."

It's no wonder that Cong Qiuhui is so nervous. There are too many examples of people returning to the city due to illness around her, and almost every example can make people fall into the abyss of despair.

Cong Qiuhui pulled her son in front of her and once again carefully examined him from head to toe. She found that he indeed had no missing arms or legs, so she asked in a trembling voice:

"You didn't swallow the match heads, did you? You can't eat that. If you eat it, most of your life will be ruined!"

Among those who returned to the city due to illness in this era, except for those who were actually seriously ill, the rest were examples of various forms of self-harm.

Among those who commit self-harm, besides those who have the courage to break their legs, those who dare to swallow match heads are more typical examples.

Cong Qiuhui had heard about this before and knew how serious the consequences of doing so would be. She was very worried at the moment, fearing that her son would also do something that would not be worth the loss.

Yue Wenxuan was not in a hurry to explain. He returned to his room, took out the conclusion that he had to return to the city due to illness, and showed it to his mother openly.

Cong Qiuhui snatched it in her hand and read it carefully.

After reading the above content, Cong Qiuhui's gaze fell on her son again, examining his body carefully.

Although he didn't see anything, he still frowned and asked, "Son, when did you get coronary heart disease? It doesn't seem to be hereditary in our family. Is it because the farm work in the countryside is too tiring?"

Yue Wenxuan used his hands to pat his chest a few times, and assured with a particularly solemn expression:
"Do you think I look like someone with a heart disease? I don't have any disease and I'm very strong!
I have spent four years in the Loess Plateau, and it was not in vain. I have made many good friends. This certificate was obtained by a friend. Don’t ask for more details. I won’t tell you, lest it be spread out accidentally and cause trouble. "

"Son, don't lie to me. If you are really sick, let's go to the hospital and get treated.

Medical conditions are becoming more and more advanced nowadays, and even heart disease can be treated." Cong Qiuhui was still a little worried.

"Mom, I really don't have a heart disease! This is not something that can be concealed, and there is no need for me to lie in front of you.

If I really have this disease, and I hide it today, won't I still have to go to the hospital if the disease relapses in two days? It will be exposed sooner or later, so why should I lie like this? "

After hearing her son's explanation, Cong Qiuhui finally believed it.

"It seems that going out to train for a few years is not always a bad thing. Although it does make people suffer a lot, it can also help them grow faster."

Seeing such a big change in her son, Cong Qiuhui had a lot more insights, "Before you went to the countryside, you were stupid and stubborn, but now you can accomplish such a big thing by yourself, which is better than me and your father.

From now on, I don’t have to worry about you anymore.”
