The next morning, after the two of them went downstairs to eat a bowl of small wontons and a bowl of sweet bean curd, Ermin expressed his desire to see the small river Husky mentioned.Husky was taken aback for a moment, and finally agreed with his jaw twisted.The two got into the car, Husky thought for a while before entering the address.

"Where is this place?" Ermin glanced at the navigation, pointing to a blue area representing water, "Is it still in Shanghai? It looks like a very wide river."

Husky nodded, "As far as I remember, it belongs to the suburbs of Shanghai, but it should still belong to Shanghai. It's on a small island. This area should be the estuary of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River and the The Yellow River is the two most important rivers in China."

"The sea?" Ermin asked a little surprised, "Are we close to the sea?"

Husky smiled and nodded, "Shanghai and Zhejiang are both coastal cities. The 'sea' in the name Shanghai means the sea."

Ermin nodded half-understanding.

While driving the husky in the urban area, he introduced it to Ermin. That one over there is Fudan University, which is also a top school in China. Besides, there is a Jiaotong University in Shanghai, but, um, they don’t specialize in it. Teach people to manage traffic.Then there is Tongji University, which also produced a lot of talents.

After driving for more than an hour, after passing through the Yangtze River tunnel, the two of them landed on a small island.Husky squinted his eyes, and still introduced that the head of the village on the left raised a wolf dog. When she was young, she and her brother were chased when they went to roast sweet potatoes in the field.

There is a shipyard in the past, and most of the people nearby work in the shipyard.The chefs in the restaurant in the shipyard are best at braised fish.The fish was also hunted by nearby fishermen, and there was a bunch of seafood, which was very fresh.But the security guards at the shipyard are terrific. Even if these children are playing at the gate, the security guards will come to drive them away.It was only when I grew up that I realized that it was a military factory, so of course it was impossible for people to approach it casually.

After passing the shipyard, drive all the way down the road, and you will find a large field.Huskie pointed there and told Ermin that the small village was still some distance away from the town, so they couldn't play late in the village.But sometimes I forget the time while playing.So, um, at most she was said a few words, and her brother was beaten up by her uncle.

Along the avenue, turning left, Husky parked the car on the side of the road, and pointed to the small river next to them to indicate that they had arrived at their destination.The two got out of the car and walked to the side of the river bank, where a sign was erected at a distance: No swimming or fishing in the river.

"When I was a teenager, the original farmland here was turned into a house." Husky put his waist in and sighed softly. "It's far away from my... that small town. But because the river passed in front of the small town, although there was no such express rule that swimming was not allowed at that time, once the town and the adults in the village knew about it, then go back. We must be trained. This place is a little bit out of the way, so we would rather walk a few more steps to come here. And," Husky chuckled, "after the swim is over, a dozen little brats will build a fire and cook some Things, clothes, hair are all dry."

"So, the little kids from the nearby villages would also come here to play. After that, everyone got to know each other. Many times, everyone would bring their own food, such as corn, prawns, potatoes, and peaches. These are grown at home, or dried goods caught by my parents when they go out to sea. After playing, we will bake and eat together."

"There were times when my brother and I were so full we couldn't eat anything when we got home, and then my..."

Husky's words stopped abruptly, she stared blankly at the small river in front of her, and tightened her jaw.Ermin looked at Husky, she took Husky's hand, touched her arm, "Who lives here, Husky?"

Husky shook her fist, she lowered her eyes, a little resisted, as if she didn't want to answer this question.Ermin didn't push Husky any more, just took her arm and stood with her on the dam.

"My grandparents." After a long time, Husky said softly, "They live in that small town now."

Ermin was a little startled, she thought about it, and then realized that this was the first time Husky mentioned relatives about her father.

"What happened?" Ermine asked softly, "If you don't want to say..."

Husky shook his head, pursed his lips, smiled self-deprecatingly, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, "My dad was exposed to cheating two years ago. My mother divorced him, and I chose to follow my mother. My mom says he's back here now, so..."

Ermin hummed lightly, leaning on Husky's shoulder, "You don't want to see him?"

Husky nodded slightly and said, "I don't want to see him, but I want to see my grandparents and my cousin."

Ermin laughed. She looked at the pouting husky and touched her earlobe. "Baby, if I don't take you to see this small river with me today, don't you plan to tell me about it?"

Husky touched his nose, "I think, well, you will find out anyway, especially after we go home."

Ermin looked at Husky, shook her head with a smile, and then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she put away her smile. "Husky, you said two years ago, was it during the spring break of that year?"

Husky breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the little flower on the ground, and said softly, "I didn't break up with you for this reason. If my dad didn't do anything wrong, the media wouldn't be able to expose anything. He posted on WeChat Explain to me that it was just a mistake."

Husky sneered and shook his head, smacking his lips, "Forget it, never mind. Is there any other place you want to go? If not, I can take you to the shore for dinner. The seafood there is freshly caught by fishermen. of."

Ermin looked at Husky, she leaned over, kissed Husky, and said softly, "Can you accompany me to meet your grandparents?"

Husky opened her mouth wide, and then she bit her lower lip slightly, looking a little guilty, "Ermin, you don't need to..."

Ermin reached out and tapped the husky's lips, and stopped the husky's words, "Baby, I know we said that we have the opportunity to come to China again in the future, and you take me to travel slowly. But we all know how busy the medical school is. , how uncertain my time is."

"So, baby, please, let's go meet your grandparents. I don't want to leave any regrets."

Husky looked at Ermin, she reached out and hugged Ermin tightly, resting her chin on Ermin's shoulder, clenching her back molars.Ermin patted Husky on the back lightly, and comforted softly, "Let's go see your grandparents. If meeting your father makes you unhappy, tell me and we'll leave."

Husky hummed lightly and let go of Ermin.

The husky drove into the town, and she drove forward for a while based on her memory, and finally parked the car directly on the side of the road, looking at Ermin with a little embarrassment, "Ermin, why don't we walk over there Right. I remember how to get there, but I don't know the route."

Ermin looked at Husky and smiled, and opened the car door.

Husky carried his schoolbag and led Ermin along the stone road in the small town.Because it was close to lunch, many people were sitting on the steps of their houses, basking in the sun and saying hello to their neighbors.Some people watched the huskies and Ermin passing by with a little novelty.Husky led Ermin through several small alleys, and came to a three-story house with a small yard and two stone lions on both sides.Husky looked at the old mahogany door in front of him, took a deep breath, walked up the two bluestone brick steps, grabbed the lion's head, and knocked on the door.

There was a chattering sound from inside, and then footsteps crossed the yard, and a man's voice said, "Here we come."

Then the wooden door was opened, and the man in his 20s inside was obviously stunned when he saw the husky, and the husky smiled, "Hi, bro."
