Yanan curled his lips: "It's quite hypocritical."
I smiled at her, then lay on the ground, looking at the unsettling night sky in trance.
Returning to Chongqing was not a sudden decision.
Even before I left the Qian family, I wanted to go back to see my second aunt and Xiaowei, the small village where I once lived, and give my second uncle a visit.
Taking care of the grave, I really want to know how I got through those years before returning to my home.
In fact, that's how people are.
Many times we keep walking, and every footprint is carved in the soil.
But we never notice it.
It's not until we get far away that we realize that before we have time to say goodbye to our past selves, we have changed.
Became another person.
Looking back at the rows of deep or shallow footprints behind you, you don’t know when they were left there, nor do you know that they will eventually disappear on the journey of life.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the moon disappeared its shadow on the edge of the western sky.
Only then did Yanan and I leave the rooftop and go back to our rooms.
Early the next morning, we said goodbye to Grasshopper and the others and embarked on the journey back to our hometown.
What I didn't expect was that Qian Yanan wanted to go with me.
She said she also wanted to see the village where I once lived.
However, the first destination of this trip was not the old village surrounded by mountains and forests, but my second aunt’s home, a home where I had lived but never found a sense of belonging.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, so I drove away from Wushan, stopping and walking all the way.
It was not until evening was approaching that I drove into Chongqing.
Chongqing is so big that one can get lost.
Even I, a native of Chongqing, would not be able to discern the direction while driving this car on the wide road.
I remember that before the construction of the Three Gorges Project started, Chongqing was not a municipality directly under the Central Government.
At that time, Chongqing was neither big nor small, and was not much different from ordinary prefecture-level cities.
Later, when the Three Gorges Project was built, Chongqing also became a municipality directly under the Central Government.
Fuling, Wanxian and Qianjiang were included, turning Chongqing's area into a huge megacity.
Many people who have lived here say that after coming to this city, they will never leave for the rest of their lives, because after leaving here, no matter where they go, they will still miss the water and soil here and the smell in the air.
And the hot pot that I never get tired of eating.
I grew up here since I was a child, but I can’t say I have deep feelings for Chongqing.
Maybe it’s because I experienced too many unbearable things when I was a child.
Whenever I come back here, I feel an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.
Others say that I feel homesick, but I have never been able to understand the meaning of the word "homesickness".
Because we lost our way halfway, we were delayed in the city for a while.
Later, Li Huaishan went to the newsstand and bought a map, asked me where I was going, and helped me with directions while complaining about my direction.
Feeling so bad.
There were several times when Li Huaishan told me to turn right, but I turned the car to the left.
He said that I was killing time on purpose and didn't want to go home early.
Regarding Li Huaishan's words, I just smiled awkwardly and did not make any rebuttal.
Since my second aunt remarried, no one has lived in the old house where she and my second uncle lived.
But I still drove the car back to the old alley and took a look.
Now this old house has been occupied by migrant workers.
A few years ago, at the entrance of the alley, you could often see old people holding teapots and sitting beside the wide road setting up dragon gate formations.
But now, everyone who comes in and out of the alley looks like a He was in a hurry and didn't even say hello to the neighbors when he saw them.
It seems that after so many years, I still remember this old house, but I have forgotten this old house.
After a long detour, I drove into the parking lot at around eight o'clock in the evening, and then walked with Li Huaishan and Yanan to Sun Yongbing's home.
I remember I mentioned Sun Yongbing before.

He is my second aunt’s current husband.
He can’t be said to be a good or bad person.
It’s just that there seems to be some trouble between him, my dad and my second uncle.
So since my second aunt remarried, From then on, his attitude towards me has always been quite bad.
I don’t know what Sun Yongbing’s ancestors did.
His family was very rich.
In the first few years, his business failed and he lost a lot of money, but he was still able to buy a huge villa near the city center.
You must know that land prices in Chongqing have always been high.
It's not low.
If you want to buy a villa in a place like this, you can't afford it without 18 million.
Since Sun Yongbing's community had very strict security guards, it was not easy for outside vehicles to get in.
I was too lazy to bother, so I put my car in the parking lot.
I haven't been back for two years, and all the scenes in the community are extremely unfamiliar to me.
I could only rely on my previous memories and took several detours before I found the house number of Sun Yongbing's house.
Their house has a large yard, which is protected by a semi-open black fence and a European-style iron gate.
In the past, whenever I came back every day, I would feel depressed when I saw this double-sided door, but this time I revisited my old place, I no longer felt the same way I did back then.
I found the doorbell based on my memory, raised my hand and pressed it.
When the crisp doorbell rang without warning, I was still irritable for no reason.
Soon someone came out of the house.
I heard footsteps, so I moved my body and peeked inside through the gap in the fence.
It's Xiaowei.
After not seeing each other for two years, he had grown taller and stronger, but his face still had an extremely well-behaved look.
In the past, I always said that he was too effeminate, and men should always be strong.
But now that I see that he is still the same as before, I feel extremely friendly.
He didn't notice me standing in front of the fence.
He came to the door and looked at the monitor.
He raised his eyes on the bridge of his nose and asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
At that time, I was leaning against the fence, and he could only see Li Huaishan and Qian Yanan on the monitor.
I smiled and waved to him: "Look here."
Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised his head to look at me, but I saw in his eyes not excitement, but still deep doubts.
He just stared at me for a while, and then asked me: "Who are you looking for?"
To be honest, I have changed so much in the past year that it is normal for him not to recognize me.
I smiled at him: "I've only been gone for two years, and you don't recognize me anymore."
After returning home for more than a year, my appearance and temperament have undergone great changes, but my voice has not changed.
Xiaowei looked at my face carefully, and after a while, he suddenly screamed: "Brother, it's really you" When I heard him call me "Brother", I didn't know what was going on, but my nose felt a little sore.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?"
Xiaowei just grinned at me and forgot to open the door for a moment.
I had to remind him: "Don't be stunned, open the door for us."
Xiaowei then smiled naively and opened the iron door.
"Brother, why are you like this?"
Xiaowei took my arm and asked as soon as I entered the door.
I gave him a smile: "Is it getting better or worse?"
Xiaowei had an unstoppable smile on his face: "It's getting better.
You can change whatever you want.
But what's going on with your eyelids?

Why don't you open your eyes?"
Li Huaishan interrupted: "He can't open his eyes, he will kill someone if he does."
Xiaowei's mind was all on me.
He didn't hear what Li Huaishan said at all.
He just pestered me and asked me about this and that, asking me where I had been in the past two years, why I didn't come back, why I became like this, and why my palms were on the back of my hands.
It's covered in calluses.
I didn’t intend to hide anything about returning to Qian’s house.
No matter what he asked, I responded one by one.
I knew that there were some things that Xiaowei might not be able to understand, but no matter whether he could understand or not, I didn’t want to be embarrassed anymore.
His knowledge.
Later, I introduced Li Huaishan and Che Yanan to him.
When he heard that Che Yanan was my cousin, he grinned and called out cheerfully: "Cousin."
Che Yanan was probably amused by his well-behaved appearance.
He first responded with a smile, then turned to me and said, "Look at how well-behaved Xiao Wei is.
Anyone like you will know how to make trouble all day long."
I also laughed: "Why am I just making trouble?"
Li Huaishan interrupted: "No, I'm talking about a Asian man.
Xiaowei is also an old man.
It sounds awkward if you say that he is well-behaved and inappropriate."
The man rolled his eyes at him: "How can you tell that people are old men?
Do you think they are all like you?"
Li Huaishan suddenly became unhappy: "What are you doing?
It really depends on who is older.
You are older than me."
Just as the two of them were bickering, the door of the house was pushed open again, and at the same time, my second aunt's voice came from the door: "Xiaowei, what are you doing outside?
Why are you so noisy?"
The second aunt's voice was still the same as before, calm with a little bit of stiffness.
Just hearing this familiar voice made the smile on my face spread wider and wider unconsciously.
Aunt opened the door and glanced into the yard.
When her eyes fell on me, she immediately called out my name without any hesitation: "Ruofei" I felt warm in my heart and said with a smile on my face, "Honey."
嬢嬢 is the empress.
The two words have the same pronunciation, which means aunt or aunt.
The second aunt stood blankly at the door and didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Huaishan and the others were also silent.
No one wanted to break the silence in the yard.
I just looked at the second aunt from a distance, with a smile on my face.
Can't help but become reluctant.
In the past, I always thought that I was a person without a home.
Even on the way back, I was thinking that this time I just came back to see my second aunt and them.
It was just a look.
When I saw them, I probably wouldn’t have much in my heart.
There are waves, and after this farewell, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
But when Xiaowei and my second aunt appeared in front of me, I realized how much I had missed them in the past two years.
To be honest, the moment I saw my second aunt, I wanted to cry.
I don’t know why.

Anyway, I just wanted to shed tears.
But I also don’t know what the reason was that made me hold back my tears, just for my second aunt. giggle
