Stranger way home

Chapter 47

Perhaps, some memories are sweet, some are bitter;I don't know whether Uncle Liu's memories are mostly sweet or bitter. I can't find the answer from his deep and deep eyes.All I can do is hold his hand gently and give him a gentle and comforting smile.

After quietly listening to Uncle Liu's story, I didn't say too much, just looked at him, walked into his past with his words, and felt his happiness and unhappiness.Although what he said was brief, I could feel the sadness in it. Maybe he looked as calm as the lake in front of him on the surface, but his inadvertent expression deeply expressed the sadness in his heart.

After Uncle Liu uttered all the past in his heart, he turned his head and smiled at me slightly. The light reflected by the lake in front of him imprinted on his face, making his smile look very pale, as if he was mocking himself , or to hide the uneasiness in my heart.

"Uh, Uncle Liu..." After a while of silence, I really wanted to break the silent atmosphere, but as soon as I opened my mouth and met his eyes, I didn't know how to make a sound.His past has been buried in my heart for a long time, how can I deeply understand the taste of it, how can I comfort him.So, the words came to his mouth and retracted into his stomach.

"Huh? What's the matter, Xiao Luo." Uncle Liu looked at my hesitant expression, and looked at me suspiciously, "Hehe, are you worried about me? It's okay, I'm used to it."

"Hehe, nothing can escape your thoughts." I looked at him awkwardly, rubbed the back of my head and smiled.I was quite worried about him. From his few words, I could see that he still loved that Xing'er very much.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, from what you said, it seems that you haven't returned to your hometown for a long time?" As soon as the words changed, I didn't wait for him to speak, and continued to ask, "Don't you think about going back? After all, it was you A real home, with your close relatives."

"Hehe, I just feel a little bit occasionally, a little homesick. Although I hated 'them' very much in the past, but after so many years of experience, I have also experienced the helplessness of 'them'. 'They' have always cared about me, but The way of expression is different. I also thought about going back to have a look, but I just thought about my youth and frivolity, which hurt their hearts, and I felt ashamed to go back. In addition, when I was busy with work, I threw my thoughts away It's in the back of my head." When Uncle Liu heard my question, he was silent for a while, and just when I thought he would not answer, he opened his mouth slowly.It's just that he still uses "they" instead of addressing his parents in the words, maybe he still feels a little bit reluctant.

"Uncle Liu..." I turned around, sat down facing him, looked at him solemnly, and then gently took his hand, "Since you have seen it, you should go back and have a look. If you are afraid Your parents, I don't think it's necessary. Thinking about how many years you haven't returned home or even given a call, they must be worried about you. If you still dare not go, I'll go with you. "

"Uh...but." Uncle Liu lowered his head, as if reconsidering, his hesitant tone showed his inner hesitation.

"It's nothing but, if you don't agree, I don't like you anymore. Besides, I really want to visit your hometown, okay?" I deliberately stared at him pretending to be angry, maybe that's how he can make up his mind Make up your mind.

"Oh, well..." Uncle Liu sighed, and finally accepted my rascal's threat, "But, is this really okay?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you agreed." After finishing speaking, I stood up lightly, kissed him, and then quickly looked around. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise it would be a big embarrassment.However, Uncle Liu's look of surprise and astonishment when he was kissed by me was very funny.

"..." Uncle Liu maintained a look of astonishment, then grinned at me, as if he was taking advantage of me, not me taking advantage of him.He continued to maintain that silly smile, thought about it for a while, and said again, "Okay then, I'll take you back to my 'home' sometime... Sigh!"

"Well..." I nodded.

Next, we played there for a day, and we did it ourselves at noon, taking out the guys for a picnic.It is said to be a picnic, but in fact, most of it is cooked food, which is enough to be hot, but under the embrace of nature, the food has a special taste.Of course, play is indispensable. After the picnic, we put those heavy guys back into the trunk of his car, and then we just took the camera, water bottle, etc. and started talking and laughing.

To be honest, we had a good time playing all day.It's just that behind the happiness, there are still some regrets and confusions - about Uncle Liu's past, about Uncle Liu's parents, about that "star"...

The great wheel of time is still turning on its own, what kind of follow-up development will Uncle Liu and I have, I can't predict it.What will happen between us, I don't know.But, at the very least, I am happy to be with him now.You see, under the warm sunshine, we hold hands and smile, how harmonious and happy we look.

(It’s not over yet, don’t think I’m done, keep going…)
