C14 Six Trees

Looking at the house at home, Zi Han couldn't help but think back to his childhood. His father had said that this house was built the year you were born, and it had already been eighteen years.

Suddenly, his mother patted him. "Silly son, what are you thinking about? Stop blanking out. Your father still doesn't know you're back. Hurry up and go home!"

When Zi Han heard this, he faintly smiled and said, "Mom, you've settled down. Time to go home!"

Mom's face brimmed with a childlike smile, which showed how happy it was to be reunited after so long.

The car slowly moved forward, and Zi Han breathed in the unique atmosphere of her hometown.

At this time, an aunt walked past Zi Han with a beaming smile. Mom greeted, "Go to the street!"

The aunt stopped and said, "That's right. Who is this person riding the bicycle? Why does he look so familiar!"

Mom happily smiled and said, "Look at my brain. I forgot to introduce him. His son is back. I just received him!

Auntie looked at Zihan carefully, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Aiya, why didn't I see it? It's only been a few years, and he's already grown into an adult!"

Ma curled her lips and said, "Don't say that you don't recognize it, but I also didn't recognize it at that time!"

The aunt patted Zi Han's shoulder and said, "Your second brother often talks about you! "Yesterday, you told me that you had gone somewhere without a single letter, as if you had disappeared from the face of the earth. Don't be like this ever again, your parents are old and can't take the torment anymore."

Zi Han lightly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't in the future. Second brother should be home now, go back and tell him that I'm back!"

Auntie happily said, "Okay, after I go shopping on the streets, I'll go home and tell him that he'll be happy!" You guys go home, I'll go out on the street! "

After saying goodbye to his aunt, his mother spoke up, "Do you still know this aunt?"

Zi Han laughed: "How could I not know her. When we were young, when you guys were not at home, it was this auntie who always called me back to her house for dinner. She was very nice to me, I have a good relationship with Wang Hao (Auntie's son), we often slept in the same bed and ate a steamed bun."

His mother smiled and said, "You stinking brat, since you know him, why didn't you greet him? You should be more sensible now that you've grown up. When you see your neighbors in the future, you must greet them!"

Zi Han nodded and said, "Mom, it's not that I didn't greet you, but didn't you see that auntie was very happy? If you don't talk to her, she won't see you. "

Mother laughed and said, "That's right, people are happy when they meet. Oh right, I remember now, a few days ago you, Wang Hao, made an engagement with a pretty good girl who was also very sensible and also greeted me. She is also very interested in your brother Wang Hao, so the two of them decided to get married next year.

Zi Han chuckled: "I never thought that Wang Hao would be so old compared to me, to actually get engaged so early."

Mother patted Zi Han's shoulder and said, "Silly boy, when are you going to find me a daughter-in-law? First, let's talk about mother's request!"

Zi Han continued, "Isn't it true? People need to be beautiful and understanding. We have to go to the hall and the kitchen. The most important thing is filial piety. I almost know how to carry them."

"You stinking brat, how dare you snatch mother's words. Say it, do you have anyone you like? When are you going to bring them home? Let Mommy check them out for you."

Zi Han shook her head: "Mom, you still don't know right? I'm in high school, and today is the first day of school, so how could I know a girl? But don't worry, I will definitely find you a daughter-in-law that cannot be better, but that will happen a long time later."

Mom happily smiled and said, "For us kids in the countryside, going to school is the only way out. But then again, you can study and date someone at the same time. I don't care, you have to bring your girlfriend home before you graduate, otherwise, Mom won't know you."

Zi Han blushed with shame and said, "You don't know me? I know you. I really have to depend on you for this life."

His mother laughed loudly and said, "Mom is just joking. You are still in school right now, so studying properly is the most important thing. To get into a good university, you must bring glory to our family."

Zi Han nodded and said: "I will, don't worry!"

Mother smiled, mother and son chatted and laughed as they entered the house. Zi Han jumped off the car and helped his mother out.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed to have become a lot more tidy than two years ago, adding a lot of flowers and herbs. What drew his attention was that the six classes stood tall and straight, and what was strange was that they varied in thickness, the whole house did not seem to have aged due to the passage of time, but instead seemed to have grown a lot more lively. This was the work of his mother, who suddenly thought of something her mother often said to him: A house is not swept, how is it possible to sweep the world, Zi Han burst into laughter.

Mother patted Zi Han, saying, "Silly boy, why are you laughing? Do you remember something that your mother often taught you?"

Only her parents knew her child best, so her mother guessed the reason. Zi Han didn't find it strange and nodded.

Mom pointed at the trees and said, "Those are planted by your dad, he doesn't say anything, but he's always thinking about you, don't he see there are six trees in his heart, that day six years ago, you left home, your dad planted one a year, now six years, looking at those trees, they stand tall and straight like six men, waiting for me and your dad, you silly kid, you just don't know how good it is to have a home outside, every day after you leave, I ask about these trees, do you live outside, they ignore me, I think you don't need your mother anymore!"

As her mother spoke, she started crying. She patted Zi Han's back and repeated, "You really are a silly child!"

At this moment, Zi Han's vision was already blurry, her mother was beating her up. Suddenly, her mother hugged her, afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back.

"Zi Han turned around and hugged her mother, patting her on the back with one hand, and said righteously: 'Mom, your son, I, am no longer a child, and now I can kill an ox with a single punch, so you can rest assured that as long as I, Guo Zihan, come back, as long as I am still alive, I will guard by your side and send you off with my life."

Mother stopped choking, forced a smile and said, "Mom is happy, don't worry, Mom is fine. Just do whatever you want, I'm home!"

At this moment, a familiar yet strange voice came from behind her, "Is that Zi Han?"

Zi Han straightened her mother, turned to her father and said, "Dad, it's me. I'm back."

His father walked in front of Zi Han, sized him up, and smiled. "You're quite capable, brat. When are you coming back this time?"

At this time the mother said: "The child's father, don't say such a thing, quickly let the child go back to the house! It's tiring to ride in a car! "

Zi Han looked at her parents, smiled and said, "I want to go visit my grandparents!"

His father patted her shoulder and said, "Go, child, your grandparents must be very happy to see you back."

Zi Han nodded heavily and said, "Dad, mom, you guys go back to your room first, I'll go talk to grandpa and grandma first."

With that, he left. His father looked at the figure of Zi Han and nodded. He muttered to himself, "This child has really grown up." His mother also smiled with gratitude.
