Summer vacation is coming soon, and Dai Li took a [-]-hour train ride across most of China to return to his hometown.

There are everyone on the train, children crying, old people chatting, and young people playing cards are intertwined. Of course, Dai Li can't sleep well. The smell in the carriage is very strong. After a few mouthfuls of instant noodles, when I got home, my face was tired, and the dark circles under my eyes drooped.

Their home is in a very old-fashioned residential building. They live on the third floor and there is no elevator.

Dai Huayang had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and as soon as he saw Dai Li, he hurried forward to help him carry his luggage.

The voice was loud and hearty: "I'm back, I'm going to smash it."

"Don't move, let me do it." Dai Li didn't let him do it, Dai Huayang thought about it, and he was right, his son is so strong, how could he get him to carry the luggage.

Every household opened their doors in Xia Tian, ​​and the neighbors were familiar with each other. The sound of footsteps in the corridor made them poke their heads out one by one: "Hey, Lao Dai, your son is back?"

"Isn't it?" Dai Huayang's face was full of joy.

"Oh, I haven't seen you in half a year, and I'm even more handsome."

"Come on! The spicy cabbage you just made in the morning, you can serve it on a plate and eat it."

Dai Li took it: "Thank you, Auntie."

Carrying spicy cabbage up a few more steps, he asked:

"What about Xiao Fei?"

"I'm reading a book at home."

"Haven't you finished all the exams, what books are you still reading?"

"How would I know."

The father and son arrived at the door, opened the door, and Dai Fei's voice came out from inside: "Brother, you're back."

"En." Dai Li unloaded his luggage, and saw the food on the table at a glance, which were three bowls of hot noodles.

There is a saying in their hometown: get on the dumplings and get off the noodles.

Before going out, you have to make dumplings, and you have to eat noodles when you come home from outside.

This side is for Dai Li to clean up the dust.

"Wash your hands and sit down to eat, or the noodles will be lumpy." Dai Huayang greeted the two children.

The two brothers huddled in the small kitchen washing their hands, talking less as usual.

In fact, Dai Huayang didn't know how to cook before, at most he could roll a dumpling wrapper. Since the divorce, he started to learn how to cook with two children alone, but it was very difficult to eat, and the two brothers couldn't eat it. Dai Li saw that his father really had no talent for cooking, so he took over the job.Later, when Dai Li went to college, Dai Fei took over the cooking task.Not to mention, my brother's cooking skills are better than my father's, maybe it's inherited from my mother.

Finally, the three of them sat down at the table, and Dai Huayang opened a bottle of beer: "Come, come, have a few drinks with dad."

Dai Fei said, "I'm still a student."

"Then Dai Li, drink with me."

Dai Li poured a glass.

"What are you doing in a daze, eat." After drinking, Dai Huayang put his legs on the stool and changed into a comfortable position.

The two brothers took a bite with their chopsticks, ate it into their mouths, and looked up at each other at the same time—well, it really was the familiar unpalatable taste.

Since the door of their house was open, anyone who came back from the opposite door could see it, so Uncle Zhang who had just returned home shouted:

"Old Dai, it's time to eat!"

"That's right, you've gone to work, and I just wanted to play mahjong with you." Dai Huayang replied.

"My son will bring his partner back tomorrow, and I'll go to the market to collect some things." Uncle Zhang entered the house after speaking.

Dai Huayang took a sip of his wine and said, "When will my son bring me a partner?"

After speaking, his eyes wandered between the two sons.

Dai Fei still said: "I'm still a student."

Dai Huayang took a few chopstick noodles with a big mouthful, and said while serving spicy cabbage, "Then Dai Li, you bring a partner back."

"..." Dai Li raised his head, "Dad, do you think the object is a souvenir? You can bring it if you say so."

"No way, my son is so handsome, can no little girl like him?"

Dai Li thought for a while: "No."

"Then who did you miss?"

"No."

Dai Huayang finished his glass of wine with his head up, and said: "Look for a partner, don't look for someone who is too rich, or you will be like your mother. In the end, you think our family is poor, so you just leave..."

Dai Li and Dai Fei didn't answer the conversation. In fact, the two brothers didn't talk much at all, and when it came to this matter, they didn't even want to talk.

Dai Huayang seldom mentioned their mother, probably because he drank too much today.

In the end, after eating noodles, Dai Fei and Dai Li took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, and Dai Huayang sat there drinking alone, muttering: "I heard that she later married a lawyer who came back from abroad, you Said, the lawyer is so eloquent, what if your mother can't win the quarrel, what should I do? Every time she quarreled with me before, she would cry if she couldn't win the quarrel. When she cried, I would let her go. I couldn't bear to see her eyes turn red, you Tell me what to do if the lawyer refuses to let her."

Dai Fei and Dai Li were washing the dishes in silence, while Dai Huayang's voice babbled in.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound stopped, and Dai Li went out to see that Dai Huayang fell asleep on the table with the wine bottle in his arms.He picked up his father and put him on the bed, covered the quilt before coming out.

As soon as the bedroom door was closed, Dai Fei said, "Do you want to go find her?"

"Who?"

"...that woman."

"Think about it." Dai Li said truthfully.

"Then why didn't you go, isn't she also in City K?"

"...I went and took a look from a distance." Dai Li said expressionlessly, "She and that lawyer already have their own child."

Hearing this, Dai Fei was taken aback for a moment, his originally thin and cool expression was slightly shaken, and there was an expression of surprise and grievance in his eyes for a moment, but he quickly restrained himself, and replied without any waves: "oh."

"Papa was right about one thing."

"Which point?"

"You can't find someone who is too rich when you are looking for a partner." Dai Li said as he threw the empty wine bottle into the trash can.
