Girlfriends

The next day the whole family got up early, took a bus to the train station, and actively participated in the Spring Festival travel tide.

In the era when the high-speed railway was still in the "under construction" stage, the soft sleeper was already the highest level of treatment for the train, but, under the premise of "it's the same slow anyway", the so-called soft sleeper...is just a Psychological comfort.

Zong Ying and Ye Xiaohan sat side by side on the lower bunk bed, thinking that the car would take a full 20 hours, and suddenly missed the days that would be a few years later.

Sure enough, the phrase "technology changes human life" is really a universal truth.

Ye Xiaohan looked at the bored Zong Ying and couldn't help laughing, "You feel bored after less than an hour?"

Before Zong Ying could answer, she was robbed by her parents on the opposite bed, "It's been like this since she was a child, and it's harder to get her to sit still." "That's right, good sisters for so many years, I don't know how to learn from Ye Zi study."

Zong Ying has long been familiar with this kind of behavior of her parents praising "other people's children", and her resistance cannot be said, let alone this "other people's children" are not outsiders...

Therefore, she simply hugged Ye Xiaohan's shoulders generously, with a rather heartless posture, "You can be biased," and suddenly sighed exaggeratedly when she said this, "Oh, it's a pity that I'm not Man, otherwise, I would just marry Xiao Ye Zi and make her your daughter-in-law!"

As soon as the words fell, seeing the funny and helpless expressions on both parents' faces, I couldn't help laughing first.

Soon, the laughter of several people diffused in the soft sleeper room. Zong Ying turned her head to look at Ye Xiaohan beside her. Perhaps it was because the warm air was blowing too much in the small space, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. , the eyes look bright under the sunlight that penetrates from the car window, there is a kind of... the beauty that makes people want to care for a lifetime.

The narrowness of space seems to be able to squeeze the dimension of time. When the sky outside the window gradually turned dark, Zong Ying felt a sense of inversion in a trance.

For dinner, I had a light meal that was brought from home and prepared in advance. It didn't taste very good after a whole day, but it was still much better than the expensive and unpalatable box lunch or "standard configuration" instant noodles on the train.

After eating, we talked together for a while, thinking that we will get off the train at five o'clock tomorrow, so we unanimously decided to go to bed early.

Naturally, the two girls took the two upper berths. They thought they would not be able to sleep well, but they all fell asleep very quickly, and the quality of sleep was not bad. If the train was not fast the next day When entering the station, the conductor came to wake them up, and they probably slept directly to the next station...

Early mornings in winter are always chilly, wrapping myself tightly in thick winter clothes and dragging my luggage out of the train station, I saw relatives from my hometown waiting for them in their own Jinbei car.

Although the comfort is poor, it is spacious enough to accommodate everyone.It is said to be a "hometown in the countryside", but in fact it is still a small county town, and because the Chinese New Year is approaching, everywhere is lively and lively, but it is really too early now, and there are no people on the road.

A few people were chatting on the road, probably because Zong Ying's parents had already explained to relatives in advance, and everyone tacitly didn't ask about Ye Xiaohan, and only regarded her as a distant relative who came together .

The only train station is in the northernmost part of the county. Fortunately, the county itself is not big, and it takes less than 10 minutes to get home.

As soon as you go upstairs and enter the door, you can smell the aroma of food. A table is full of local breakfast. On the sofa not far from the table, an old man with silver hair is looking at them with a smile.

Zong Ying threw the bag in her hand aside, and quickly ran over, "Grandma!"

Immediately, she felt the old man's slightly rough hand caressing the back of her hand, "Yingying is back."

At that moment, Zong Ying only felt her nose sore, and she suddenly had the urge to shed tears.

Before the age of six, she lived with her grandma until she was about to go to elementary school. On the one hand, she was thinking about going to school, and on the other hand, it was because her grandpa passed away half a year ago, and it was somewhat difficult for her grandma to take care of her by herself. Mom brought it back to me.

Over the years, she and her grandma have been very good. I think that when I was in elementary school and junior high school, I still had to go back to my hometown to live with my grandma every winter and summer vacation. It wasn't until high school that the schoolwork burden gradually increased, and I didn't have much time to come back. up.

And the previous life...

After going to university, life became more and more busy, and after work, she was even more overwhelmed. Lin Lin always couldn't count the time when she came back with five fingers, until suddenly one day, she received the news of her grandma's death...

After being reborn, it's not like she didn't think about this kind of loss and recovery, but just like now, really feeling this familiar intimacy still made her feel so happy that she wanted to shed tears.

Grandma quickly noticed that something was wrong with her mood, "What's the matter? Who bullied our Yingying?"

Zong Ying quickly raised her head and put on a relaxed expression, "No, I just miss grandma."

The old man patted her on the head and smiled like a child, "Then you haven't come to see grandma for so long, you little heartless!"

Zong Ying stuck out her tongue, stood up as if remembering something, ran to the back in two steps and pulled Ye Xiaohan over to her grandma, "By the way, grandma, this is what I told you last time when I came back, my best friend , Little Leaf."

Ye Xiaohan was still somewhat cramped, she squatted down like Zong Ying, raised her head halfway, and softly called "Grandma".

The old man had obviously heard about her family's affairs, and there was a trace of compassion in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just took her hand, put it on the back of Zong Ying's hand, and gently They patted, "Are you tired from the train ride all day? Have something to eat with Yingying, and then we all go to rest for a while, the room is ready for you." She said and looked in the direction of the next room, "You two girls will sleep in one room, and the other room will be for your parents."

Zong Ying nodded, and pulled Ye Xiaohan to stand up together, "Of course it's no problem, I also slept with Xiao Yezi at school. But there's no need to go to rest right now, we slept on the train last night It's doing very well, and I'm not sleepy at all now. Besides, Xiao Yezi is here for the first time, so I'll take her out for a stroll later."
