Miss a city

? I left home for the first time and went to Luopu County in southern Xinjiang. It was an autumn, seventeen or eighteen years old, and my heart was like a bird, eager to leave my parents' arms and fly high. Many years later, when I close my eyes, I will see that crisp autumn morning: the blue sky, Populus euphratica leaves, the bus, my father, my father who waved after the car started, and me flying happily in the car.

? The freshness of leaving home and the joy of so-called freedom soon disappeared in a strange environment in a foreign land. Next is my homesickness. I am a sensitive and sentimental person. A sight in a foreign land or a word floating in my ear are all reasons for my homesickness. Just like the Gobi Desert in my hometown, when it rains once or twice, there will be alkali grass and red willows growing wildly.

? I went home a year later and no one picked me up. My father took advantage of my absence to leave quietly and went to heaven. We have become people from two worlds ... Luopu County has become a wound in my heart. I know this wound will circulate in scabbing, inflammation, inflammation and scabbing for a lifetime. ...

? Second, Wuwei, the city of affection

Arrived in Wuwei on March 5th, 1997. This is the second time that I have left home for a completely strange city. This is my first time to go abroad by train. I got on the train with a relative in Korla, hard seat. I don't remember when we got on the train. I was so dizzy on the train that I vomited water, not to mention eating, but also vomited gastric juice and bitter water until there was nothing to vomit, retching. A stool for three people, so that I can sleep on it. Later, I heard from relatives that he had been in a panic for nearly two days and nights. I'm really afraid that he can't explain to my mother what happened to me, but these are already very vague to me.

? It seems like yesterday: getting off the train and the station, there are many soldiers cleaning in the street. It is said that March 5th is "Lei Feng Day". I found the sky in Wuwei is blue, the clouds are white and the spring is beautiful. I open my arms, close my eyes and embrace the sunshine warmly. Meditate from the bottom of my heart: inaction, I am coming; Father, I am here, and my daughter has returned to your hometown for you. ...

? Today, every time I go out by train, I will habitually get off and look at the sky. It seems that I have never seen such a blue sky, such a white cloud and such a beautiful spring. That scene is like wine in my memory. The longer it lasts, the stronger it is and the sweeter it is.

? Wuwei is my father's hometown and my uncle is my father's uncle. He is a shoemaker. I met my uncle and grandfather in Yongchang Town under the guidance of my cousin who repaired shoes for guests.

An old man in his sixties has written years and life on his face. His rough hands are extremely flexible for threading needles, rubbing skin and gluing, which matches his age. My uncle and grandfather are very careful. This old man, whom I have never seen before, makes me sincerely love him at the moment. Tears flowed down unwillingly, and I had mixed feelings. Maybe I was too focused, and the old man found my abnormality. He smiled and asked me, "son, do you want to nail shoes?" I'm fine. "The way I nodded and shook my head made the old man's smile stronger, and there was a shadow of my father on this face. I imagine that if my father is still alive, when he is old, he should be such a kind little old man ... After knowing my uncle and grandfather, my uncle's face is full of surprises, with a little sadness and tears in his eyes, and someone has come to repair shoes. My uncle and grandpa said, "No, not today, let's go home, let's go home ..."

My uncle's house is eight or nine miles away from the town, mostly gravel roads and several dirt roads. My uncle rides a bike to and from this road every day.

My uncle has a daughter and four sons. The youngest son is a teacher and studies in Lanzhou. The rest have become independent families.

? When I got home, my aunt and uncle were busy planning lunch. I was shocked when I saw the photos of my uncle and grandfather in the photo frame on the wall when they were young. "An adopted son is like your uncle." My father and uncle are so much alike. There is noise outside. It turns out that my uncle and grandfather have informed my uncle, aunt and cousin who live in front of me.

Uncle finally came. We were having dinner when he came. When I saw him, I stood up unconsciously. "Dad" I want to scream, but I can't make a sound. It was my little cousin who pulled me and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You dropped your chopsticks. " Pulled me back to reality, I quickly greeted my uncle and bowed my head to continue eating. Too much alike. Lian Xiao sounds so alike.

After dinner, everyone left. My uncle and grandmother touched my head and said, "Rain is falling all scared today. Your uncle looks like your father. When I was a child, everyone said they looked like twins. Your father has suffered much more than your uncle, so he is older and thinner than your uncle. "

? That year in Wuwei, I wanted to go to my uncle's house most, and I was most afraid of going to my uncle's house. A few times, I happened to be in town, sitting next to my uncle and grandfather and watching him repair shoes. Then I went to my uncle's house and didn't go home with him. I haven't seen my uncle and grandfather since I left Wuwei, and later I learned that he had passed away. I haven't heard from them since.

Wuwei fell in love at first sight

I hit it off with Wuwei and started my new life there, a brand-new life. The first friend I made here was Yuping, a girl from Hubei: of medium build, with long broken hair hanging over her shoulders. Not very white skin, big eyes, very fond of laughing. Sports shoes, jeans, white shirt, sports and leisure coat. Frank, lively and careless, a little sloppy. This is what impressed me the most. About the same age and both in a foreign land, we soon became good friends. I met their family of four. Father, mother, brother and her. The two brothers and sisters stopped going to school very early and followed their parents to do tofu business all the year round.

? At that time, Yuping's parents were in their forties and still very young. In those years, a hairstyle for men called "Shi Ben" was very popular. Probably just blow your hair back high and separate it with dark notoginseng. Gently press a ripple in front of your head. Then the hair spray is set, which looks very stylish and energetic. Yuping's father loves beauty very much. He regularly goes to the barber shop to take good care of his scarce hair. So every time we meet Yuping's father, he is a "Mercedes-Benz" in a suit and tie, much like the big boss of that era. Yuping's mother, who looks a little thin, has short ears and a little dark skin, is busy in the tofu shop and kitchen all day, and works hard without complaint like all hardworking mothers in the world. Yuping's younger brother Xiaoyan is one year younger than Yuping. He has dark skin and is taller than his peers. He is naughty and a little idle. He can imitate Michael Jackson's dancing, and he can imitate it very well.

In their family, the father is responsible for running diplomacy outside, the mother is responsible for making tofu at home, and Yuping sells tofu in the vegetable market, leaving early and returning late. My brother is responsible for delivering tofu to the hotels and restaurants he has contacted. Very reasonable arrangement, there should have been a very harmonious life, but Xiaoyan and Gong Shu are like two enemies in previous lives. They met by chance in this life, so they quarreled and fought endlessly. At that time, they quarreled almost as soon as they met, and Gong Shu was ready to fight. This kind of war will often hurt the other two members of the family, and more often it will become a war between husband and wife. That is, at that time, I stopped playing occasionally, and more often I hid in our corner with Yuping, chatting, reading books and dreaming about tomorrow. ...

? Unconsciously, that summer came quietly, and we had two more friends. Aaron, Abin. They are from Wenzhou. There was a karaoke stall downstairs where we lived. A song costs two yuan, and Aaron sings Cantonese very well. In particular, Jacky Cheung's Escort in Youth always makes us never tire of listening to it. And a song "Love Will Win" makes young people realize that even if life is full of hesitation, frustration and helplessness, we must persevere and never give up. Soon, Aaron and Yuping fell in love, and I changed my residence. I am far away from them and busy, so I can't meet them every day. Abin, Aaron and Yuping will come to see me sometime.

? Later, when summer left, Abin also left and left Wuwei.

? Later, when autumn came, Yuping came together with Aaron regardless of her family's opposition.

When it came that winter? Yuping's parents bought Wuwei's business and took Xiaoyan back to her hometown in Hubei. Yuping and Aaron stayed in Wuwei, and they also rented a house rented by Abin's sister. Aaron works outside and Yuping is at home. We see each other less. Seeing Yuping again is a day of dripping into ice. I went to see her because Yuping accidentally fell and had a miscarriage. In my mind, I am still a bouncing child, but in front of me, she is a weak little woman.

? After many years, I can't remember what we talked about that day. I only remember that she was full of enthusiasm and happiness for marrying and living with Aaron.

Soon after, Yuping followed Aaron back to her hometown and met Aaron's parents and in-laws.

? Later, I received a letter from Yuping. The letter said: She is not used to life there. First of all, Aaron's parents can't speak Mandarin and she can't speak Wenzhou dialect, so they can't communicate. Life after marriage was not as beautiful as expected, and she became sentimental. Fortunately, there are mountains and waters in Aaron's hometown. Aaron often accompanies her to see mountains and waters. Aaron is very kind to her, and she is very satisfied. Looking at the letter, I thought of her crying and laughing when she wrote it. My heart was sour and sweet, and I was happy for her happiness at that moment.

After that, we really have no contact. Sometimes I think of Yuping and that happy time.

After a long time, I will miss this bustling world, and I only hope that all my friends in the ends of the earth are well!

Third, pass by in a hurry

? After 2000, I had many opportunities to travel far away, and I began to travel regularly. I like to pick up my bag and leave without being sent away. No matter how far and how long I go, I will come back. I will fantasize that my father will travel as far as I do. One day, when I came back from afar, he met me at the station. ...

Over the years, I have been to some cities, no matter how prosperous and beautiful, I can't forget them.

? To miss a city is to miss a life and a person.

? Some people say that falling in love with a city is because people you like live in it. In fact, falling in love with a city may be for a vivid scenery in the city, for a childhood memory, and for a familiar old house. Maybe, just for the city. Just like falling in love with someone, sometimes you don't need any reason, no antecedents, nothing to do with romance, just love. Lin?
