1629: The Little Boy Leaves Home and the Boss Returns (3 More)
Xu Changle looked left and right, trying to find familiar traces in the street scene outside the car window.
He went abroad at the age of 5, and he still has some impressions of business. This memory is really better than ordinary people. Even when passing by Erqi Square, Xu Changle pointed to the Erqi Memorial Tower:
"This tower is not the same as before, it was not this high before."
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Yes, I heard that it used to be a wooden tower, only 15 meters high. It was renovated in 1971 to have the current memorial tower."
The previous Erqi Memorial Tower was 15 meters high and was a wooden structure.
After the renovation in 1971, the tower is 63 meters high and is a reinforced concrete structure, of course, it is very different.
Xu Changle lowered his head and smiled.
In 1966, he was brought to the United States by his parents. He had never seen the Erqi Memorial Tower. When he saw it, it was completely different from what he remembered, and he couldn't hold back for a while.
In the past 20 years, Shangdu has changed a lot. The streets have changed, the streetscape has changed... Xu Changle will be very happy every time he finds a place that is the same as in his memory. Unlike Tina, he was born in Shangdu, a city that made him feel friendly and gave him a sense of belonging.
This is completely different from Xu Zhongyi's timidity towards nostalgia.
Xu Changle wanted to see his grandma soon.
Whatever the idea, home is still a little bit closer.
At the intersection, Xu Changle's memory completely recovered, and he was even very excited:
"I lived here when I was a kid!"
Yes, the house that Grandma Yu clings to is the one the family once lived in.
It was confiscated by the state for a period of time and then returned.
Grandma Yu can't want anything, and she doesn't want to leave the house, she just firmly believes that her son's family will find it back - Xu Zhongyi's face is shaking, no matter how excited he is, he can only make such an expression .
The streets are very clean.
Xia Xiaolan wanted to say something more, Grandma Yu used to do street sweeping work, but after thinking about it, she still didn't stimulate Xu Zhongyi.
She doesn't have to accuse Xu Zhongyi, Xu Zhongyi just needs to explain to Grandma Yu.
Can Grandma Yu forgive Xu Zhongyi, and Xia Xiaolan can't overtake her.
On the clean street, I don't know who had the red carpet and firecrackers on the side of the road. Xia Xiaolan suspected that it was the street office, and they treated Xu Zhongyi and his son as foreign guests.
Watching several cars drive by, I don't know who shouted "Arrived", the firecrackers were lit, and the crackling firecrackers sounded.
I don't know how many firecrackers it was, but after two minutes, Xu Changle opened the car door and was hit by the firecrackers on his clothes. He didn't care much, and kept looking at the door, trying to see his grandma figure.
The smoke from the firecrackers did not dissipate, and Xu Changle could not see clearly.
"dad?"
Xu Zhongyi took a deep breath and got out of the car.
Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng naturally got out of the car. Zhou Cheng was good at covering Xia Xiaolan's face and kept her behind, for fear that she would be injured by the flying gun battles.
"This battle is big enough."
Zhou Cheng doesn't care about the Xu family's father and son, but only about the thoughts of his daughter-in-law.
If it wasn't for grandma's sake, he would have tossed with Xu Zhongyi.
Zhou Cheng still doesn't know that at this moment, he has reached a ideological unity with Comrade Tang, one of his two father-in-laws... Isn't this a natural fate?
The smoke from the firecrackers dissipated.
A group of people rushed up, some people from the street, some neighbors on this street, and people who couldn't get a job came to join in the fun.
However, Xu Zhongyi looked at the door, and there stood a trembling old lady.
He had never seen his old mother so close, and only when he was close did he realize how fast her mother was getting old.
Liu Fen supported Grandma Yu, Grandma Yu held the threshold with the other hand, and the old lady tried to straighten her back to see who was getting off the car.
Is that her son?
It looks better.
The way of walking is different from before.
Before going abroad, he was a high-spirited young man, but when the mother and son meet again, this is the situation.
But that was her son.
No matter how the appearance changes, mothers can always recognize their children.
Standing next to her is her grandson Changle... Liu Fen didn't make her words too clear, but only said that there was an accident in Hong Kong, and the people who came back this time were Xu Zhongyi and Xu Changle.
"Zhong Yi?"
Grandma Yu gave a tentative cry, Xu Zhongyi squeezed away the warmly welcoming crowd, ran a few steps, and knelt down in front of his mother.
"Mom, it's me! I'm Zhong Yi, I'm not filial, I've made you suffer and feel wronged all these years!"
Xu Zhongyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Liu Fen was startled, and the neighbors who joined in the fun were silent.
Grandma Yu had tears all over her face.
"Just come back, just get up quickly, just come back..."
Xu Changle was actually a little afraid to recognize it.
The grandmother in his memory was still relatively young, and she took care of herself very neatly. There were not many wrinkles on her face, and it was not enough to mix a few white hairs into a black hair. Either he would ask his grandfather to pull it out, or he would go Dyeing black - the one standing in front of him now is an old lady with all white hair.
Yes, after watching the interview video on San Francisco TV earlier, I was mentally prepared.
But seeing the real person, the impact is even greater.
Xu Changle stepped forward to support the old lady's other hand, "Grandma, I'm Changle, Changle is back to see you."
The sight of the old lady crying
It's blurry, where can I still see Xu Changle's appearance clearly.
Xu Changle's hand was trembling as he supported her.
The voice calling her was full of sincere emotion, and Grandma Yu had no doubt that this must be her grandson Changle! This kid is so big and tall.
This pair of grandchildren, this pair of mother and son, all three were crying.
Liu Fen glared at Xu Changle at first, but when Grandma Yu cried, she cried herself.
Crying is contagious. Some neighbors used to join in the fun, but at this time, there are soft-hearted people who are shedding tears:
"Oh, it's a reunion. It's been 20 years since you went abroad?"
"I haven't been in contact for all these years, and I haven't caught up with his father's death... It's just that Xu Zhongyi doesn't look like he used to be, and he's really changed a person."
"Shh, don't talk about it, isn't this what makes people cry? Each has its own difficulties."
"That's Aunt Yu's grandson? I remember when I went abroad I was a little beanie, maybe five or six years old. It's so big in a flash."
The neighbors were talking all over the place. Xia Xiaolan saw that everyone was crowding together and pointing and pointing, so she stood up and controlled the scene:
"Everyone, listen to me, first of all, thank you for your concern. The reunion over the past 20 years has been very exciting. Grandma Yu and Uncle Xu are very emotional. They must not be able to entertain everyone at this time. Why don't we give their family some solitude Time, when they calm down their excitement, they will definitely invite the neighbors to get together, and everyone will say okay?"
There's nothing wrong with that.
In the past, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen rented a house from their grandmother's house here in the name of their distant relatives.
At this time, Xia Xiaolan stood up and made a decision, and the neighbors could not have any objections. Those who pushed me and I pushed you withdrew. One has to wink at being a person. Xu Zhongyi and his son have only returned after 20 years, and it is impossible to stay for a while and leave. Why are you in a hurry!
Zhou Cheng also negotiated with the people from the street office.
After a while, only the scraps of firecrackers were left in front of Grandma Yu's house, and without anyone joining in the fun, Xu Zhongyi still couldn't stand on his knees and cried bitterly.
