[R18] So and so – “Someone” 110. Hometown [English]

Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian bought air tickets early in the morning on the 24th. As soon as they landed, they received a WeChat message from Sheng Mingyang saying that he would have another dinner party during the day and let them rest at home. The New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening had been booked in advance.

No matter how busy Sheng Mingyang was in the past, he would always be free on New Year’s Eve.A dinner party was suddenly arranged this year, and I thought I was avoiding people.

While he hopes that they can come back for the New Year, he can’t save face at the same time.The small building in Baima Alley is a special existence. It has witnessed the gatherings and separations of two families and four people.On that occasion, seeing Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian who had returned together again, he really didn’t know what to say in the first sentence.

The old comrade has been shrewd for most of his life and is good at saying all kinds of beautiful things. In the end, the only one he can’t deal with is his own son.

Of course Sheng Wang knew what he was thinking, but he just silently accepted the restaurant location shared by the other party without exposing it.

While waiting for the luggage, Sheng Wang received a call.Jiang Tian listened to he confirm the location and parking area with the other party, and asked: “Who is calling?”

Sheng Wang said: “Uncle Chen.”

Jiang Tian hadn’t heard this title for a long time. He was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. Sheng Wang had already pushed his luggage over.He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Jiang Tian and said, “Return to the soul.”

Jiang Tian pressed down he’s troubled finger: “He’s already here?”

“Yes, we’re in the parking lot.”

Jiang Tian subconsciously looked at the direction sign of the parking lot above his head, but was pulled towards the escalator by Sheng Wang: “Why are you looking at the sign? Just look at me.”

Jiang Tian only walked through this airport to departures, not arrivals.Sheng Wang has visited many times over the years, and every visit has been in a hurry, except this time.

It can be seen to the naked eye that the eldest young master is in a good mood. He looks like an emperor on a tour. He brags in front of Brother He without any scruples: “It’s hard to say other places. I’m really familiar with the airport. I can be your **navigator for free.”

Jiang Tian pushed the luggage trolley and said “Hmm”: “It’s easy to have problems if it’s free.”

“Fart.” Sheng Wang stretched out his hand and said, “How about you give me money?”

Jiang Tian took out his mobile phone from his pocket, patted it in his hand, and raised it before he tightened his fingers: “Prove it first.”

“Prove what?”

“Worth the money.”

“You ask, I can point you to any store.”

Jiang Tian said “Hmm” again and asked, “Where is Xi?”

Sheng Wang: “…”

Okay, the whole thing is broken.

The eldest young master has traveled around the world for several years and traveled to many places at home and abroad, but he still can’t tell the difference between east, west, north and south.**Navigator encountered waterloo as soon as it opened, and it didn’t defraud a penny.

During the Spring Festival travel rush, everything was busy. The parking lots were overcrowded, and online private car hailing services were jammed into long queues. It was impossible to tell who was who.Sheng Wang called Uncle Chen and started a question-and-answer battle over “Where is the car?”

Xiao Chen changed his description in countless ways, and finally broke down and said: “Following a white car with double flashes.”

Sheng Wang said: “Uncle, the most white cars here are white cars. Which car doesn’t use double flash? Why don’t you give us a range and we can search together.”

Xiao Chen added: “K area is north.”

Sheng Wang was silent for two seconds, then handed the phone directly to Brother He: “Come here, I only recognize the left, right, and front.”

Brother he didn’t forget to ask: “Aren’t you a **navigator?”

“Closed.”

As a result, it only took Jiang Tian two minutes to find the car, and **Navigation went from bankruptcy to self-isolation.

Xiao Chen has not changed at all, his hair is still the simplest style, and his clothes this season are the same lapel short jacket that has never changed.He got off the car to help carry the luggage. When he saw Jiang Tian, he paused for a moment, then smiled and sighed: “I have grown taller again, but I am still so handsome, huh?”

Some places are like this. A simple person, a road, or a building can make people dream back to their youth.Jiang Tian felt this way when he sat in the back seat of Xiao Chen’s car and watched Sheng Wang fall asleep next to him.So much so that at a certain moment, he even wanted to roll up his sleeves to his elbows, as if he was still wearing the blue and white school uniform.

Xiao Chen had other things to do, so he sent them to the gate of Baima Lane and drove away along another road.Jiang Tian stood at the door and watched Sheng Wang enter the password, and found that the numbers had not changed after all these years, they were still the same string he was told.After opening the door, the faint smell of detergent in the room was still the same as before.

In the past few years, every time Jiang Tian thought of this house, this smell would always appear in front of his nose.That was his last memory of this place, and it wasn’t a good one.So much so that whenever he smells it, he subconsciously feels that he has just traveled tens of thousands of miles.

Fortunately, the person who couldn’t be found at the beginning was standing beside him now, talking and laughing, within reach, so the smell became milder and no longer so empty and deserted.

The moment he clasped Sheng Wang’s finger, he finally realized clearly that we would have a long, long time, long enough to slowly cover the lost, sad, and empty years.

The building has good lighting, but once it is cleaned and no one is there for a long time, the house will become cold.As before, Sheng Wang changed his shoes and started looking for the remote control, turning on the air conditioner as he walked.It doesn’t matter where he’s hiding, none of the things that should be opened can be missed.It’s so cold that I have to wrap myself up in a quilt in the summer, and it’s so warm that I have to wear single clothes in the winter. I don’t know what the innate problem is.

Jiang Tian followed behind him. The discomfort he felt at the door slowly faded away due to someone’s various small actions, leaving nothing behind.

The eldest young master went straight to the second floor as if he were catching a thief, opened the door of the bedroom where Jiang Tian lived, took a look, and said, “I knew it!”

“What?” Jiang Tian asked.

“Didn’t I say that cleaning one room is enough?” Sheng Wang pushed the door completely open, raised his chin and said, “Well – the old comrade didn’t cooperate at all and asked Aunt Sun to clean up two rooms.”

When he was a teenager, he felt that Sheng Mingyang never listened to what he said.Now that I see these behaviors, I just find them a bit funny.

Sheng Mingyang showed the mellowness that a businessman should have. Even though there were eight hundred people who were not happy, he still fully demonstrated the generosity of his elders in tidying up Jiang Tian’s bedroom.The sheets and duvet covers are all brand new, and Aunt Sun has not asked her to change them out. At least the quilt has been dried in the sun, and is fluffy and warm…

Of course, it is obvious that he wants Jiang Tian to sleep here honestly.

Sheng Wang opened his bedroom door again, only to laugh even more.

Because there were two quilts placed nondescriptly on the bed, it looked like it was not Aunt Sun’s tidying habit.He waved to Jiang Tian, bent down and checked the corners of the two quilts, then pinched one of the quilt corners and said, “Did you see that the quilt cover was not pulled properly and there was a dent in it? Don’t ask, it must have been done by my dad himself.”

It can be seen that Aunt Sun originally only laid a quilt here. Sheng Mingyang thought about it and thought it was not possible – what if the two of them had to squeeze into one room?So I stubbornly added another bed.Sheng Wang saw the struggle of the old comrade from the sunken corner of the quilt.

He put his arm on Jiang Tian’s shoulder and smiled for a long time, then took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the quilt, and sent it to Sheng Mingyang via WeChat.

I don’t want this hand anymore: Dad, what did you do?

After a while, Sheng Mingyang replied: Where did I get this skill?

I don’t want this hand anymore: Oh

I don’t want this hand anymore: Then I’ll ask Aunt Sun, I haven’t seen her for a year, why has her craftsmanship deteriorated?

With these two words, the old comrade’s dignity and reserve were completely shattered.As soon as Sheng Wang finished replying, he called after him with a helpless tone: “Are you home?”

“Just walked in.” Sheng Wang said.

“I can’t leave here, you guys make do at noon.” Sheng Mingyang pondered for a moment, and finally took the initiative to mention another one, “Don’t order takeout. I remember Xiao Tian can cook some, right? There is food in the kitchen. Or you can give Sister Sun a call.”

Jiang Tian was a little surprised when he heard the title “Xiao Tian” from he again.

Sheng Wang blinked at Brother He and said into the phone: “We will go to Wutong in a while. Grandpa Ding’s home was where he arrived yesterday. Lunch should be settled there.”

“Okay, the private room I booked for the evening has enough space. If the old man is willing, we can have a New Year’s Eve dinner together.” Sheng Mingyang is used to this, and if nothing else, he has never failed to be polite and decent.

Sheng Wang said “Oh” and said a few more words.Before hanging up, he added mischievously: “That’s right, dad——”

Sheng Mingyang thought he had something else to do: “Huh?”

“What I’ve been driving is hands-free.”

“You…”

Sheng Mingyang was silent for two seconds and then hung up the phone.

It was almost noon when the two of them finished packing and went outside Wutong. The long alley was filled with the smell of food, and there were old men and women returning with their grandchildren.When they see Jiang Tian, they will pull him and say: “I haven’t seen you in a few years, you have grown up!”

Jiang Tian probably had never exchanged greetings so frequently in his life, but the old man always asked the same few questions, and he was forced to become a repeater.Sheng Wang just put his hands in his pockets and smiled while watching the show. He didn’t care if he didn’t help. He also deliberately led the old man to ask more questions.

It took us half an hour to walk down a straight alley, but when we finally reached the end, Dr. Jiang’s face became paralyzed.he glanced at someone and asked: “Is it fun?”

“It’s not bad.” Sheng Wang couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes.

But soon he stopped laughing, because as soon as he stepped into the long-lost small courtyard, the old man who was busy pruning and watering the flower pots turned around.

When Old Man Ding’s face was sullen, the lines at the corners of his mouth were drawn down, making him look fierce and unapproachable.But the moment he saw Sheng Wang clearly, those two stiff wrinkles began to curve, and his whole person became kind and kind.He took off his reading glasses, put down the old-fashioned scissors, and held Shengwang in his hands like dead branches.

For a moment, Sheng Wang thought he would call “Xiao Wang” twice, or call him “Xiao Tian” by mistake, and then sigh like those old people in the alley, “You have grown so big after not seeing each other for a few years,” and then exchanged a few words.

Unexpectedly, the old man just squeezed He’s shoulder and said dissatisfiedly: “Why do you only wear so much! Isn’t it cold in class?”

Sheng Wang was stunned for a few seconds.

Jiang Tian lowered his head and whispered in He’s ear: “Others are fine, but sometimes the concept of time is a bit confusing.”

…Maybe you think we come here every day.

Sheng Wang said “Oh” and grabbed the old man’s hand.He lowered his head and blinked quickly several times until he blinked away the heat in his eyes, and then said to the old man: “It’s okay, grandpa, the classroom has air conditioning. You can see that my hands are warm.”
