Reunion after a Broken Mirror: A Thousand Miles of Chasing Love

Shu Ming took the train for more than ten hours from the bustling city where the school was located to the front station of his hometown, a small town that hadn't changed in ten years, and probably wouldn't change in the next ten years.

As soon as he came out of the town's train station, he found a cheap restaurant and ate a bowl of noodles.He secretly went back to get things while Hao Jun was not at home. He left in such a hurry that he forgot to pretend that he didn’t dare to go back to get some things again. He was afraid that Hao Jun would find out and pester him like crazy so he wouldn’t let him go. Walk.In such a hurry, he forgot to buy some food to bring on the train. The things on the train were expensive, and he was reluctant to buy them. He just stayed hungry all night until now.After eating, he went to the shopping mall in the town to buy some daily necessities and paper money for tobacco and wine for worship. He bought almost all the things, and he bought the bus ticket to the village in the afternoon without resting for a moment. I want to go back immediately to say hello to the old village head, and I also want to go to grandpa's grave to burn incense sticks and clear weeds from grandpa's grave.

Shu Ming would come back every year to pay homage to his parents and relatives, but the weeds are full of vitality and can cover steamed buns in a month.While pulling weeds, he reported his life to his grandparents, parents, and mothers.He said that he broke up with his boyfriend, and he asked his grandfather if he would forgive him for being disobedient. He said he regretted it, and he shouldn't have thrown himself into it without seeing people's hearts clearly.

"Actually, we were really good at the beginning," he knelt in front of the grave, lit incense, and burned paper to his grandparents one by one. "He is very accommodating to me and takes good care of me, like a big brother." He smiled wryly, "Unfortunately, it's all fake. Grandpa, if his brother hadn't come to me and said he was going to get married, I would never have known. He pestered me at the beginning just to play with me, would I...would I become San'er inexplicably or be dumped by him? I..." He choked up, unable to continue. "In the past, I was sorry for your expectations, and even more sorry for your painstaking efforts for so many years. Now I suffer from a long memory. I stay away from him. When I come home, you look at me, parents, you look at me together, I ..."

Shu Ming leaned on the suitcase and cried loudly.

The wound was so deep, the escape was so far, and the words were so decisive, but he still liked that person hopelessly.He likes it so much, he likes it until he remembers every little bit of the three years, and he can't forget it.

Turned out from the cemetery, went down the mountain and walked into the village.The first person I met was Grandma Qiu, the owner of the small shop in the village.

"Oh! Is it Xiao Ming? Come, come, grandma, take a look. Why are you back at this time?"

"I've graduated, Grandma Qiu! I applied to return to my hometown to support teaching, and I will teach in the elementary school in the next village!"

"Teaching? Good teaching, where do you teach?" Grandma Qiu couldn't hear clearly because her ears were hard of hearing.

"It's in the village next door to us! Grandma!" Shu Ming bent down and called into Grandma Qiu's ear.

"Oh oh oh, the elementary school next door to us! Hey, what a good boy! We couldn't keep people here before, it's hard! Hey, it's much better now! We want to build some kind of tourism on the side of Butterfly Valley, Let’s build the road! From now on, if you need something, please come to grandma, grandma will help you.” Grandma Qiu walked to her small shop step by step with a cane on her back.

"Grandma, please go slowly," Shu Ming helped Grandma Qiu, "I forgot to buy washing powder, grandma, I will buy some washing powder from you later!" Shu Ming looked at Grandma Qiu's staggering back, and said loudly she said.

Uncle Zhang's house has been renovated, and Uncle Xu's house is completely deserted. Aren't they going to come back?

Just like this, Shu Ming dragged his suitcase and walked on the dirt road in the village, watching as he walked, to see the changes in the village that he hadn't returned to this year.

Recently, the government plans to build a tourist area in the Butterfly Valley in Beishangou, and vigorously explore the stunning scenery in the deep mountains and old forests.

Shu Ming went to the Butterfly Valley when he was a child.In spring, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the birds chirp; in summer, the valley is bustling with brocades and flowing water; in autumn, the sky is clear and crisp, and you can make a big meal by catching some river prawns and crabs in the pools in the valley. The snow scene in winter is the most unforgettable thing for Shu Ming. It is really a chilling color like being in a fairyland. The snow is white, everything is lonely, and the strong visual impact shocks Shu Ming. I can recall that beautiful scene.

Shu Ming put the box beside the kang, and called the village chief's house to report that he was safe.

"Grandpa Shu, I'm back, that's right! I'm at home. Well, I haven't packed it yet, don't use it! I can clean it up myself! I'll go to your house at night, ummm, no need! Really no need! Hello, hello?" Shu Ming looked at the hung up phone and smiled helplessly.

Not long after, the eldest sister of the Shu family came to help Shu Ming tidy up the house.A few years ago, Mr. Shu stepped down from his position as the village head, and he settled down to plant the land and raise chickens and ducks at home.But the two sisters of the Shu family were worried. They wanted to pick up the old man to take care of them at home in the south several times.The two sisters had no choice but to come back every year for a period of time to see the old man. When they came back, they took turns entrusting the business to each other to avoid losing too many customers.

"Sister! I told Grandpa, you don't need to come, I can do it myself."

"How can you do it yourself! Such a big house has not used cold pots and cold stoves for such a long time, you wait for me to turn on the stove."

"Big sister, you guys still come back in turn like this? Is Grandpa Shu still unwilling to go south with you?"

"Yeah!" Sister Shu replied from the outside, "My sister and I can't persuade him. My dad just wants to be here. He said he is afraid of flying! Who would believe it! My sister and I both know that he is afraid of going to us. That would cause trouble for both of us, but he is my father, so what trouble can he cause! My sister and I are tired of tossing back and forth like this every year." Sister Shu poured the hot water into a bucket and poured it into the bucket. On the concrete floor in the yard. "Actually, it's good to go through all this tossing and tossing. My sister and I have been floating outside for so many years. Sometimes we get tired and want to go home. My mother left early, and my father took us all these years. Sisters, we are really worried about him being here." Sister Shu turned back and went into the house to help him clean up the kang. "Hey! Ming'er, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are they so swollen?" She thought for a while and blinked, "Did you go to see your grandparents? Hey, this person has this day, my dad has a I go to see your grandpa every day, chat with him, and have a drink with him. Your grandpa is younger than him. He always mutters, saying that your grandpa left him and left. It’s a blessing to leave without illness or disaster. Anyway, you have to look away! Ming’er. You see, what your grandpa Shu said is right, everyone will have a day when your grandpa left without suffering, isn’t it a good thing! My sister and I were worried about my dad when we were in the south, you said that if something happens, it doesn’t need to be a big deal, just a headache, my sister and I can’t sleep because of the trouble.”

"I understand! I'm back this time, and I'll take care of Grandpa Shu for you in normal times, and I'll call you immediately if there is anything to do."

"I don't mean that! Ming'er!"

"I know! But I treat you as my own sisters, and Grandpa Shu as my own grandfather, right! What's more, even if we are just ordinary neighbors and have no relationship, we don't usually treat me that well, so I will take care of Grandpa Shu." It's all right, Grandpa Shu is so old, shouldn't I help you! Anyway, sister, don't worry, I'll go and have a look when I'm free, it's not troublesome, right?"

"You brat!" Elder Sister Shu looked at Shu Ming, smiled and slapped him, "Yes! You will take care of me more in the future, and call me and your second sister if you have anything to do."

"That's it!" Shu Ming spread his hands, "Sister! I'm a little hungry, what shall we have for dinner? I want to eat stewed fish in an iron pot, can you make it for me?"

"Stinky boy! If you don't do it for anyone, you have to do it for you! After cleaning up, I'll go buy a fish. You sleep for a while, and when you wake up, go to that room for dinner!"

"Success! Sister, you are so kind!"

"Don't flatter, go aside."

The elder sister of the Shu family left after tidying up the house. Shu Ming dug out the things in the box and arranged them, then laid the blanket on the kang and squinted for a while.

In a daze, he seemed to see his freshman self again, and the energetic Hao Jun who was following him.

"Hey, I heard that there is a lake behind your school where you can row a boat?" Hao Jun was wearing a denim suit and sitting on a park bench. "Have you ever been there?"

"There is a lake! Of course I go! Sometimes there is no place in the study room, library, etc. I just sit by the lake and read a book. Once I had lunch there, and the scenery over there is very good. You What is that for? Why, you want to take your girlfriend to go boating?" Shu Ming closed the book, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and narrowed his eyes. "It's okay to bring a girlfriend, but don't do things that are unsightly in public places! The children in our school are very simple and afraid of the eye of a needle."

Hao Jun stared at him blankly, for a long while, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at!"

"No, just laugh casually, hahahaha" Hao Jun covered his stomach and bent over laughing. "I...hahaha have a buddy, his girlfriend is from your school, really, that's not what he told me." Hao Jun wanted to explain to Shu Ming with a serious face, but how could he hide the smile in his eyes? I can't hide it.He put his arm on Shu Ming's shoulder and pulled him over, "Hey, you said that you have seen the world by going to my brother's bar, but why do I feel that there is a string missing in your mind?" He tapped his head melon with his finger.

Shu Ming opened Hao Jun's hand, gave him a sidelong glance, curled his lips, and left.

"Hey, where are you going? Why don't you say you're going to my house to cook and invite me to eat!" Hao Jun got up quickly, "Wait for me for a while! I want you to take me to your school to play! You are out of your mind, you Blame me! Wait for me, you!"

The setting sun was shining at night, and the warm sunlight shone softly on the young people walking one after the other among the trees, stretching their backs so and so long.

Everything is still beautiful like a dream.
