Wait till the sun rises

A heavy snowfall fell in Longcheng City, and the snowflakes like goose feathers swirled and fluttered in the howling wind, like dancing elves.

A tall man wearing a long black coat came out from the airport lobby. The man was holding a dark blue suitcase in his hand. When he stepped out of the airport gate, he seemed to be dazzled by the snowflakes all over the sky. The man was in a trance for a moment, as if I don't know where I am.

The man has a handsome face, with short black hair, tall and straight, but there is no expression on his face.

The man stood there for a while, then reached out to straighten the beige scarf around his neck, pulled the suitcase and walked forward again.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and the man answered the phone with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Mom, I'm here. You don't need to pick it up. I'll just take a taxi and go back." Somebody said something on the phone, the man turned his head away, and suddenly laughed. He walked over quickly and hugged Han Ling who was coming up. for a moment.

"Finally back." Han Ling patted her son on the shoulder, showing a smile all over her face, "It's been more than a year since I came back last time, so I won't leave again this time."

Xu Jiming walked to the car with Han Ling in his arms: "Well, I'm planning to develop in China, and I've already resigned there. Okay, mom, get in the car quickly, don't freeze in the heavy snow."

Han Ling's nose was red from the cold, but she was in good spirits. Sitting in the driver's seat, she picked up a dry towel beside her and wiped the snowflakes on Xu Jiming's head. He wants to come, but he has a fever, so let him wait at home."

Xu Jiming was taking off the scarf around his neck, when he heard this, he paused, frowned and asked, "Why do you have a fever? Is it serious?"

Han Ling glanced at her son with a smile: "It's okay, I have a bone, I have to compare with other young people, I don't wear too little clothes and I'm freezing." She said while starting the car, "It's watered, take a little more time." It's warm, I think the fever will subside tonight."

"What do you want to eat? Go buy it later."

Xu Jiming said: "Just eat whatever you want, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Han Ling glanced at him sideways, and said, "It's been so long, and I don't have anything to eat? Look at you, you've lost weight again."

Xu Jiming touched his face, smiled at Han Ling, "I've always wanted to eat my mother's cooking, and I like to eat whatever you cook. I'm also happy when I go home and cook a bowl of noodles."

Han Ling laughed: "You are the only one who can talk."

"I'm back." I haven't seen him for a year, Father Xu has lost a lot of weight, but he is in good spirits, with a sickly blush on his face, wearing simple home clothes, but his back is straight.

Xu's father is getting older, and the class schedule is gradually decreasing. He has a lot of free time to spend with his family. He usually takes a walk in the garden of the community with his wife to bask in the sun.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

Father Xu glanced at his wife, and sat down on the sofa: "It's okay, it's okay, the fever has subsided. Your mother likes to make a fuss, otherwise I'll pick you up too."

"Stop talking here, go, change your clothes, and come out for dinner later."

·

Xu Jiming reached out to take the wine bottle handed over by Xu's father, but Han Ling snatched it halfway: "I'm still running a fever, I'll drink it when I'm done."

Xu Jiming smiled and said, "I mean that too."

"You two are really good." Father Xu touched his nose and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Jiming put a spare rib into Han Ling's bowl, and said, "I see that the city has changed a lot, and a few new shops have opened there."

Xu's father said: "Yes, the development is so fast that it's almost the same every year. Sometimes I get lost when I go out."

Xu Jiming smiled and said, "That's not so exaggerated."

The family reunited after a long absence, talking and laughing, it was so lively.

After dinner, Xu Jiming wanted to wash the dishes, but Han Ling pressed him on the sofa, "I'll do it, you must be tired from the journey."

"Mom, I'm fine. Look how good I am."

Xu's father smiled and said: "Stop arguing, come on, boy, let's fight for my father."

Seeing his son standing still, Father Xu gave him a strange look and beckoned, "Come on."

Xu Jiming followed, and saw Father Xu carrying out an exquisite gold silk nanmu box from the study.

Xu Jiming walked over, touched the simple and exquisite wooden chess, and asked softly, "When did you buy a new one?"

Father Xu set up the chess and said with a smile without raising his head: "That child Xiao Xia sent it. He said he saw it by accident. He saw how beautiful it was, so he bought two sets. Your Master Xia and I each have a set."

Xu Jiming's fingers trembled, his breath stopped for a moment, and then he casually asked, "Are they all right now?"

Father Xu sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "It's good. Xiaoxia graduated from university and stayed in the company where he was doing an internship. The salary is pretty good. But recently, the branch seems to be short of manpower, so he transferred Xiaoxia. In City B, Grandpa Xia has also moved there."

Xu Jiming forced a smile: "Really."

"Well, you see that you were always so busy before, haven't you seen Xiao Xia for many years? When the weather clears up, go and see him sometime. I'll give you the address."

"……it is good."

·

The weather cleared up.

Xu Jiming left the house amidst Han Ling's urging.

Xu Jiming pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly, "Mom, let me sleep a little longer."

Han Ling gave her son a disgusted look, handed all the big and small bags in Xu Jiming's hands, pointed to his messy hair and said, "Remember to go to the barber shop to tidy it up."

Xu Jiming said: "Do I have to go today? Tomorrow..." He wasn't ready to meet Xia Yang yet, what should he say when he saw him?How have you been these years?how is your day?I miss you?

Xu Jiming ruthlessly closed his eyes and pressed his head, only to hear Han Ling say: "You child, you wished to stick together with Xia Yang and wear a pair of pants. You have only been abroad for a few years, and you forget about him? With your Grandpa Xia, he is getting old, and he was still talking about you on the phone a few days ago, don't you miss him?"

"Okay, I got it." Xu Jiming sighed and was defeated.

"Wait a minute." Seeing her son nodding, Han Ling suddenly smiled. She took out a note from her pocket and stuffed it into Xu Jiming's hand, "Hey, go here and take it for me when you come back." Come back with something."

"101, Unit [-], Maohe Community..." Xu Jiming said, "What is it? Why did you put it in someone else's house?"

Han Ling smiled mysteriously, and patted her son on the shoulder vigorously: "Don't worry about it, just bring the things back to mom."

Although Xu Jiming was very conflicted, he still went to the barber shop to have his hair cut, and bought a brand new outfit, giving him a completely new look from head to toe.

Because the road was icy, Xu Jiming chose to take the bullet train, and it was already noon when he arrived in City B.

The scenery of City B and Longcheng City are very different. Longcheng City is covered with heavy snow and covered with snow, while there is no trace of water on the ground of City B. It is clean and reflects the dazzling sunlight.

Xu Jiming searched all the way according to the address his father gave him on his mobile phone, and finally when he stood at the gate of the community, he felt timid.

There were a few old men chatting and basking in the sun at the gate, seeing him holding a bunch of things in his hands and standing hesitantly at the gate of the community, they stepped forward and asked enthusiastically, "Young man, who are you looking for? Tell us, I know all the residents in this community."

Xu Jiming pursed his lips and said, "No, no, I went to the wrong place."

Xu Jiming, who had run away, sat down in a coffee shop not far from the community, and sat there all afternoon.

The coffee shop he chose is very stylish, and most of the people sitting in it are young couples who are in love.

As dusk fell and the lights came on, Xu Jiming looked at the young men and women who left together, and finally stood up.He thought, what are you afraid of, aren't you just here to see your childhood playmate you haven't seen for many years?What is there to be afraid of?

"Yes, that's it. I'll come and see my childhood friend, grandpa, and Bailey." Xu Jiming seemed to have convinced himself thoroughly, picked up the things on the chair, got up quickly and left.

When they arrived at the gate of the community, the old men had already dispersed. Xu Jiming walked around the community and finally stood at the gate of Xia Yang's rented house.

Knock knock, he took a deep breath, and finally knocked on the door.
