Sweet 80s

The door was not only closed, but also locked.

He didn't know where Wang Shuping had gone, nor did he know whether her departure was related to Wu Aimin's words.

His whole body was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. His steps were so slow that it seemed as if he was walking on cotton, and his furrowed brows were filled with despair.

Just as he was staggering out of the yard, he happened to run into his neighbor.

The neighbor thought he was tired and greeted him as usual: "You got off work so early today. I saw Xiaoping go out just now."

The other party's words instantly perked him up, and he quickly asked, "You have seen her, do you know where she went?"

The neighbor shook his head: "I don't know, but she was holding Erbao and carrying a big package in her hands, as if she was going on a long journey..."

Going away + running away from home + returning to Northeast China = divorce

Lin Xiangdong forced several words together into a logical answer.

My heart started beating wildly and I was sweating profusely.

"No, I have to calm down. If she is going back to the Northeast, she must take a train or a car, so she should be at the station at this time. Which station should it be..."

Lin Xiangdong shook his head and continued analyzing.

"She suffers from severe motion sickness. If she travels over a thousand kilometers by car, she will die. So the only way is..."

After making up his mind, Lin Xiangdong did not dare to delay for a moment and rode his bicycle to the train station.

The train station was bustling and noisy.

There was a buzzing sound rolling in the air, like a huge beehive.

It’s not a festival, and Lin Xiangdong can’t understand why there are so many people here.

There were all kinds of people, some standing and some sitting on the ground.

When the train pulled into the station, people rushed to get on, and the carriage was packed with people.

The probability of finding a person in such an environment is as high as finding a needle in a haystack.

But he has to find it no matter how difficult it is. He can't let a groundless misunderstanding destroy his happy family.

Lin Xiangdong ran to the ticket office, leaned on the glass and asked the ticket seller inside in a hurry.

"Comrade, what time does the bus to Jichun leave?"

The conductor checked and replied, "The train will leave in 15 minutes. Do you want one? There is one ticket left."

Lin Xiangdong calculated in his mind that if Wang Shuping bought this ticket, it meant that she had most likely already checked in and boarded the train.

Thinking of this, he ignored the conductor's urging and ran towards the ticket gate.

Seeing that something was wrong and someone was trying to break through the checkpoint, several staff members immediately stopped him.

"Comrade, please show me your ticket."

"I'll go in and find someone and come right out."

"No, no, you can't enter without a ticket."

"Have you seen a woman carrying such a tall child in?" Lin Xiangdong said and gestured.

The station is bustling with people. When the passenger flow is large, let alone the few staff members, even if the number is doubled, they would not care whether the people entering are male or female, old or young.

The staff member saw his anxiety, thought patiently for a moment, and finally shook his head and said.

"There are so many people that I can't remember clearly."

"Just let me go in and take a look around. I promise I will come out after the car starts moving. How about this?"

As he spoke, Lin Xiangdong took out the money and driver's license he was carrying from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

The other party retreated again and again, pushing Lin Xiangdong's hand and saying: "We have rules and regulations, we really can't let you in!"

Rules and regulations, this word is more than a little familiar to Lin Xiangdong.

"Every revolutionary soldier must bear in mind the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. First, all actions must be carried out under command. Only by moving in unison can victory be achieved..."

When he was in the army, he knew the song "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention" by heart, but now he is making things difficult for others because of his family affairs.

This is not what a good retired veteran should do.

As time passed, the staff put away the isolation belt and the entrance gate slowly closed. All they could do was watch.

Although the train station suffered a setback, the bus station may not be without gain.

He regained his confidence and went to the bus station.

Just as crowded and busy.

The difference is that he would run to every long-distance bus and look inside through the window. If he met a talkative driver, he would even go into the car and look for the people one by one.

Even so, Wang Shuping and Erbao were still not found.

I worked hard for the whole afternoon until it was almost dark, twilight enveloped the earth, and everything became hazy.

There was no expression on his face at this moment. He was like a puppet with his soul taken away, wandering the streets in a daze.

It seemed as if all hope was lost.

His body was trembling slightly as he tried his best to suppress a certain emotion, which made him feel very scared.

The front door of my house is only a few meters away from me, but it seems like this road will never end.

He took a deep breath and tried his best to adjust his mentality. The moment he put his head through the gate, he heard whispers coming from inside the house.

Although the voice was small, it was still distinguishable. It was none other than Wang Shuping talking to her two sons.

He suddenly looked up into the brightly lit room.

Erbao was holding the little rabbit and feeding it vegetable leaves in front of the porch.

Dabao was walking out with a pouty look on his face, mumbling as he walked: "It would be nice to just make a phone call, but I have to run all the way here. I'm so hungry that I don't even have the energy..."

Wang Shuping, wearing an apron and holding an enamel basin in her hand, walked behind Dabao and said.

"Before I didn't let you go to your dad's workplace, you wanted to go eight times a day, and now you don't want to go anymore. Hurry up, if I'm not cooking, do I need you?"

"Know it..."

Dabao looked up and saw Lin Xiangdong coming back with the cart. He shouted to Wang Shuping with relief.

"Mom, my dad is back. I don't need to go to work to look for him. I'm going out to play for a while."

After saying that, Dabao ran away from Lin Xiangdong without even saying hello.

Lin Xiangdong looked a little dazed. He blinked his eyes and looked at the harmonious and ordinary scene in front of him.

It felt both real and fake, and it was hard to accept for a moment.

Wang Shuping came out after hearing the shouting, and seeing Lin Xiangdong standing in the yard in a daze, she went to greet him.

"Xiangdong, you're back. Why are you so late today and you didn't call me? Is there something going on at work?"

Lin Xiangdong's eyes turned red and tears filled his eyes.

His vision suddenly became blurred, and his legs became stiff unconsciously, making it difficult for him to take even a single step.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Shuping seemed to realize something and hurried to Lin Xiangdong's side.

"what happened to you?"

The moment the other person's hand touched Lin Xiangdong's cheek, his eyes lost their former tenderness and doting, and were replaced by grievance.

It's the kind of grievance that is hard to describe and deep in the bone.

"Don't you want me anymore?" It's not hard to hear the full sense of loss in the choked voice.

Like a puppy that was abandoned by its owner and wandered for a long time, experiencing countless nights of loneliness and despair.

"What?" Wang Shuping couldn't understand the meaning of these six words.

I can understand them when they are separated, but I can't understand them when they are put together.

"What are you talking about?" Wang Shuping asked with a smile, reaching out to wipe away a tear rolling down the other's eyes.

Then, she took Lin Xiangdong's hand and continued, "What happened? You are not very emotional..."

Before Wang Shuping could finish her words, Lin Xiangdong pulled her into his arms.

Lin Xiangdong was very strong, and Wang Shuping had no choice but to refuse because she was afraid of being seen by others.

At this moment, their bodies and souls seemed to be completely integrated.

Wang Shuping rested her head on his shoulder, stroked his back with her hands, and kept saying comforting words.

Although the little guy Erbao is not very old, he is a smart guy.

He also noticed that the atmosphere was different from usual. He put the rabbit on the ground and stared at his parents with his big eyes blinking.

In front of children, Lin Xiangdong often acts without scruples, but Wang Shuping is different.

After being stared at by her youngest son for a long time, her face gradually turned red.

Wang Shuping stretched out her hand and pointed at Erbao, then pointed inside the house.

The little guy immediately understood what his mother meant. He put the rabbit into the nest and trotted back to his room.

"Don't make me anxious, just tell me, what happened?"

Lin Xiangdong then let go of Wang Shuping, took a deep breath and slowly told her the whole story.

Wang Shuping pulled Lin Xiangdong into the house, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"What the hell, you even went to the train station... Hey, some things are just so coincidental..."
