Religious Faith

It was already 04:30 in the afternoon when I arrived in Dalian, and I drove home.

The driver asked: "Is this the New Year home?"

"Yes, go home." I smiled.

When I got home downstairs, I went upstairs with my luggage. When I got to the door of the house, I was about to get the key to open the door, but the door suddenly opened.

I saw that he was well dressed and seemed ready to go out.

He froze and just looked at me like that, unable to speak for a while.

"I'm back, do you still want me?" I asked him.

After a full minute, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Do you still want me..."

I dropped my luggage, hugged him tightly and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, let's live a good life, shall we?"

He didn't move, I let him go, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"...I think I'm dreaming." He smiled, a little vicissitudes.

"It's not a dream, it's my fault, this time I really want to understand, I won't leave again."

"You promised me the same way last time, but you still left." The melancholy in his eyes made people feel distressed.

"I'm sorry...I love you." I hugged him again and kissed him hard on the cheek.

He asked, "Where have you been these years? I can't find you."

"Not that long, I went out for half a year."

"Really..." He smiled: "I thought it had been many years... You don't know, life without you is really hard, to put it bluntly, I don't even know if you are alive or dead."

"Good..." I patted his head.

He threw my hand off and ignored me, obviously angry with me.

"Jinze, don't be like this..." I quickly coaxed him.

"What? If you're not happy, you can leave as you please. If I'm not happy, I can't even get angry with you?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant!" I hurriedly explained to him, "You know I didn't mean that!"

After a lot of coaxing, he asked me: "Where have you been, you are so black."

"I went to many places, but I was mainly exposed to the ultraviolet rays from Tibet and Yunnan."

"I've been to so many places, are you having fun?" I knew he was talking to me angrily, so I had to say: "I should be happy, but when I think of you, I can't be happy anymore. Thinking of you all the time."

He is always very coaxing, and I made fun of him in no time.

I hugged him and expressed my determination: "I really won't leave, I really really figured it out."

He glanced at me, then helped me take off my coat, and asked, "What did you figure out?"

"There is a saying called don't forget the original intention, which means we still don't forget what we were looking for. I wanted to be with you at the beginning, but I got farther and farther away from this road. Then I will tell you now, I want to be with you."

I talked a lot with Li Jinze that night, about what I saw and heard during this time, about his work, and about our future.

In the end, he told me: True maturity is not about escaping from the past, because the past has been implemented and cannot be escaped.There is no need to be self-abuse always thinking about the unbearable past, we should live the present more calmly, because the only thing we can grasp is the present.

Also that night, we discussed going home for the New Year.

We booked a ticket to S city. In the past few years, S city has undergone various road repairs, and we were a little dizzy on the streets we walked in the car.Some shops on the street are in memory, while others are unfamiliar.

I touched his hand, his hand was a little cold, I asked him: "I'm a little nervous, how about you?"

"My heart has been beating really fast," he replied.

"This time you won't be beaten to death with sticks, will you?"

"I think it should be a happy reunion," he said.

I got out of the car first, and the way to the house made me feel so close and so long, and it was a torment to take a step.

In fact, Li Jinze has always been attached to his family. For example, he still keeps his phone card at home, and never makes it arrears.He also keeps the keys to the house and takes them with him wherever he goes.I remember once seeing him call his family on a fixed line, and his mother asked on the phone, "Is it Jinze?"

His tears flowed out immediately, and there was some crying on the phone, "Is it Jinze, right? I am mother, why don't you talk to mother?" He hurriedly pressed the phone, and then ran to the bathroom alone cry.

I took out the key chain and changed the keys several times to align with the lock of the house.

When I opened the door, what I saw surprised me.

My dad stood by the door holding a kitchen knife, and my mom hid behind him. They couldn't have been more surprised when they saw me.

My father is old, and my mother is also old.There are more wrinkles, more gray hair, and cloudy eyes.In fact, they shouldn't be so old at their age.

I said, "Dad...Mom...my son is unfilial and came back late."

My mother burst into tears immediately, and she said to my father, "Hurry up and put the knife away, don't scare your son!"

My dad hurriedly put the knife in the kitchen, and my mom pulled me in and looked at it carefully several times, crying and laughing at the same time.

I wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Don't cry..."

She didn't care, hugged me and cried even harder.She cried and complained about why I just came home, as if I was a child who went out to play and forgot to come home late.It seemed like I was just a little late, and she was worried.

In the end, it was my dad who pulled the two of us apart. He wanted to ask something but didn't say it. Maybe he didn't know what to ask.

I first asked, "Why don't you look in the door mirror?"

My dad said: "The door mirror is broken and hasn't been repaired yet."

"Why not change it?"

"No one came, too lazy to change."

It can be seen that they have not had a good time in the past few years when I was away.I said, "I'll change it tomorrow, it's not good to be so unsafe."

"Where are you going?" My mother asked me quickly.

"I'm not going anywhere." I smiled, and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and the door locks at home have to be changed. This lock hasn't been changed for several years, right?"

My mother said: "If you change the lock and you don't have the key, what if you can't get in?"

She said it as a matter of course, but just this sentence made my nose and eyes sour.

It was my father who asked my mother to cook two dishes quickly. We were both silent while waiting for the dishes, and finally he said: "Just go home."

I chuckled, and said, "Dad, I always dream about the lanterns that our house hangs during Chinese New Year."

"You kid still hated it back then."

I smiled embarrassedly.

Soon my mother brought up the dishes. There were two dishes in total, both of which were my favorite.She wanted to stir fry again, but I didn't let it go, so it would be good to tell her quickly.

Our emotions were relatively normal during the meal, even though I was the only one eating, they watched me eat while chatting with me.

They asked me how I have lived these past few years, but I didn't tell the truth, I just said that Li Jinze used to help me study, and now I'm working part-time.

They asked: "How is the boy from the Li family now?"

"He's pretty good. He's working as an interpreter. He's always a favorite wherever he goes."

"The boy of the Li family, he has been striving since he was a child...then he is coming home now?"

"Come back, the two of us came back together."

When I was eating fried pork with cumin, I saw a few white hairs twisted in the sliced ​​meat. I just wanted to pick it out, but when I looked up, I saw my mother's very concerned eyes.She asked me a little nervously: "Why don't you eat it? Is it not delicious?"

I smiled and said: "Mom's cooking is the best." Then I put the meat and hair into my mouth.

I said, "This is the best meat I've eaten in years."

"Really?" There was a smile on her face.

"real."

We chatted for a while, and they strongly urged me to go to bed and have a good rest.I checked my phone after taking a shower and laying down on the bed.Li Jinze sent me a text message a long time ago: Everything is fine, how about you?

I replied: I am fine too.

He replied in seconds: Rest early, good night.See you tomorrow.

I still called him, and he smiled and asked me what was wrong, and I said, "I always feel that something is missing if I don't listen to your voice before going to bed."

The sound of his laugh was very pleasant, and I also laughed along with it unconsciously.

After saying goodnight to each other, I went to bed and slept very peacefully.

Our two families spent the new year together. Although the expressions of both parents are not very natural, we all know that they agreed, but there are still some things that cannot be said.

Li Jinze didn't think so, he said: "It's not that you can't say it, but what can they do if they don't agree."

I breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what, we are together aboveboard!"

"Not yet."

"What?" I looked at him in surprise.

He took out a very delicate box from his bag, which contained two platinum rings, one thick and one thin.He put the thin one on the middle finger of my left hand, and I put the thick ring on his left middle finger, thinking that was what he was talking about together.But I was wrong again.

He took out two red books from his bag, handed one to me with a smile on his face, and said, "This is barely considered together."

Then he said to me: "Happy wedding."
