There are traces of the galaxy

He was obviously very energetic when he got on the bus, but when the car started, Lin Chaosheng began to feel sleepy. Although there were not many passengers in the first bus, Lin Chao took out earplugs from his backpack and put his head on the window for fear of noise. Sleepiness hit, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He was woken up by the notification tone of the mobile phone message in his trouser pocket, and he didn't seem to have slept for long.Open the chat interface and look, oh, a 48-second voice message, sent by Lin Jingye.Lin Chaosheng stared at the white voice bar of the 48's for a while, finally connected the earphones, and clicked on the voice bar patiently.

"Cub, do you have enough money to spend? If you don't have enough money, let me tell you more. How did you do in the mountains? Did you see the meteor shower? Did you take any pictures? Oh, and your mother said she misses you." Yes, I told you to come back early after playing, but it’s okay, you can play for a few more days, but you have to pay attention to safety in the mountains, are you free now, chat with your mother..."

Lin Jingye has a habit. When sending messages to his son, he never sends text, only voice, and often a voice lasts for tens of seconds.

Lin Chaosheng quickly typed back before he finished listening: "Understood, Dad, I'm on the car going back, and I'll be there at noon. My phone is running out of battery, so let's stop chatting." Anyway, I have plenty of time to talk when I go home, so it's not bad These few words.

When getting out of the car, Lin Chaosheng was in a daze. He left the bundle of snapdragon grass on the luggage rack, and got out of the car empty-handed. After walking a few steps away, he suddenly remembered, and went back to get it.

At first, Lin Chaosheng put the snapdragon on the empty seat next to it. Later, the car filled up with people, and it was inconvenient to hold the snapdragon, so he had to put the flower on the luggage rack.It was inevitable to be squeezed and pressed by the luggage on both sides, and bumped all the way. The outermost petals were already a little wilted, which was a pity.Lin Chaosheng held the flowers in his arms very carefully, and backed the car again before returning to the urban area, which was still some distance from his home. Lin Chaosheng didn't want to bother, so he took a taxi home.

It wasn't until he saw the familiar gate of the community that Lin Chaosheng suddenly had the feeling of returning to the real world. The two days he spent in the mountains seemed like a dream.

When he was in the third year of junior high school, his family moved from the suburbs to the urban area for the convenience of Lin Chaosheng's high school education. Now he has lived in this community for four or five years, but he still doesn't feel a sense of belonging here. Maybe it was when he was young. I have moved too many times, and I feel the same wherever I go.

"The cub is back!" After knocking on the door twice, someone answered, Lin Jingye hurriedly opened the door for his son, and was surprised when he saw the flowers in his arms, "Hey, why did you buy flowers?"

"I didn't buy it, someone else gave it to me." Lin Chaosheng put the backpack and flowers on the shoe cabinet, bent down to change the shoes, "Where's my mother?"

"I'm cooking for you, it's rare for her to do the cooking herself," Lin Jingye said, glanced at the kitchen, and added in a low voice: "Don't let me help, your mother's cooking is not good, so she messes around."

"I'll tell my mom right away." Lin Chaosheng sat down on the sofa and saw the narcissus blooming in full bloom in the porcelain white vase on the coffee table. His heart moved, "By the way, Dad, do you have any empty vases at home?"

Lin Jingye spread his hands: "I don't know, aren't all the flowers and plants in the house bought by your mother?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Zhiyun came out of the kitchen with two dishes, and Lin Chaosheng hurriedly stood up and took the dishes.

"What are you two talking about?"

Lin Chaosheng pointed to the flowers on the shoe cabinet, "There is no place to put them."

"Then pull out the narcissus on the coffee table later, it should be replaced anyway," Jiang Zhiyun teased again when the food was served on the table, "My son is going out to play, he will bring back a girlfriend, right? , which little girl gave this?"

Lin Jingye smiled until the corners of his eyes showed wrinkles: "My cub is very charming, follow me."

Jiang Zhiyun rolled his eyes at him, and kicked him with his elbow, "Fuck off, my son won't follow you, he's a stinker."

"It's not...it was a man who gave me flowers." Lin Chaosheng explained a little bit about what happened when he almost lost his way in the mountains at night.

"So that's what happened," Lin Jingye asked again: "What kind of flower is that?"

"Snapdragon."

"It looks very unique," Lin Jingye said thoughtfully, "It's just a little wilted, and it probably won't look good in a vase."

"You mean to throw it away?" Jiang Zhiyun glared at him.

"I didn't say anything! How can I throw it away? No matter what, it's all in my heart." Lin Jingye quickly denied it.

Lin Chaosheng always felt a little awkward listening to the word "mind", so he stopped talking and buried himself in eating.

Lin Jingye said to him again: "Cub, you put the vase in your room."

"Son, don't listen to your father, who is it! Just put it in the living room, it looks good!"

"Is it beautiful? Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense."

The two started bickering with each other. Lin Chaosheng didn't participate, but listened with gusto.

"Cub, school is about to start, don't you want to visit your school in advance?" Lin Jingye said he couldn't beat Jiang Zhiyun, and dragged his son into the arena again.

"It's not necessary to stay there every day after school starts." Lin Chaosheng didn't care much.

He applied to the local university and took the subway for eight stops. The journey took less than half an hour, which was equivalent to going to school right in front of his house.Although Lin Chaosheng's score is not to the level that Tsinghua University and Peking University can beat him, it is not a problem to choose a school and major that he likes.Although Lin Jingye and his wife never interfered with their son's wishes too much, when they learned that Lin Chaosheng had applied to Tingzhou University, Lin Jingye still told him earnestly that it is not good for a man to love his family too much, and his vision tends to be narrow. After many years, it was hard to come to today. Men still have to go out to practice and practice, and the road is made.

Lin Chaosheng was unmoved, Lin Jingye turned to Jiang Zhiyun for help, Jiang Zhiyun only said one sentence, my son can go wherever he likes, but the joy is beyond words, she doesn't want Lin Chaosheng to be too far away from her, for her, It is of course a good thing that the son is reluctant to leave home.

Lin Chaosheng looked at the worried Lin Jingye and the joyful Jiang Zhiyun, and swallowed what he wanted to say. You really misunderstood... I didn't report to the court because I couldn't bear to leave you.

Lin Chaosheng has traveled all over the country with his parents since he was a child, and he has long been less yearning for the outside world.The major he wants to study is mechanical engineering, and the mechanical engineering of Tingzhou University happens to be one of the best old-fashioned engineering majors in China.

"Learning mechanics is good. After graduation, if you can't find a job, you can come back to repair cars." Lin Jingye said.

Lin Jingye is in this line of work. He dropped out of high school before finishing high school and left home to start a career. He worked in a restaurant, distributed leaflets on the roof, and worked as an apprentice in an auto repair shop. Be your own boss.

Lin Chaosheng explained in vain: "Mechanical engineering is not for studying auto repair..." If he wanted to learn auto repair, why didn't he apply for Lan Xiang?

"Then do you learn electric welding?" Lin Jingye said happily again, "If you learn it, you will win at the starting line."

"..." Before filling out the application, I knew that this major will arrange a metalworking internship in the first semester, and electric welding is one of them, but Lin Chaosheng still said stubbornly: "I don't want to learn."

Lin Chaosheng spent two months washing cars in his auto repair shop during the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, and also learned electric welding and changing tires by the way.Jiang Zhiyun and her little sister went to Bali Island for vacation, and they were the only ones left at home. At that time, Lin Jingye's auto repair shop was just getting on the right track, and he was too busy. Also take it to the store for food and lodging.

The rented facade of the auto repair shop has two floors. The first floor is a shop, and the second floor is an empty room for storing sundries and accommodation.Jiang Zhiyun came back and saw that her son was tanned and smelled of motor oil, but she was so distressed that she scolded Lin Jingye.

Jiang Zhiyun is a make-up artist. After graduating from a technical school, she came out of her hometown and opened a photo studio with her little sister. She and Lin Jingye met by chance when they were setting up a store. They dated for six years and married. I was renting a house to live in. Later, when my business grew, I bought a house in Tingzhou and settled down.

After dinner, Lin Chaosheng went to take care of Li Zhi's gift to him.The snapdragon grass in a vase will not last very long, so it will have to be thrown away sooner or later. Lin Chaosheng thought about it, and finally gave up his original idea. He picked some flowers that were not squished and put them on the balcony, and let them dry for a day. dried in the sun and made into a German book on a dried flower stand.
