The trains in the 1970s were no better than the high-speed trains of later generations. After nearly two days of running, Beijing North Railway Station gradually came into view.
At this time, Beijing North Railway Station was still one of the top ten buildings.
The appearance of the two towering bell towers gave Lu Miao a brief sense of modernity.
After coming out of the station and taking a greedy breath of information, Lu Miao's eyes slowly fell on the street.
Although it is backward, the city is the city and the capital is the capital.
Not only are there more tall buildings rising one after another, but people's clothes are also more distinctive.
In addition to the original black, white, gray and dark blue clothes and gowns, there are also children wearing floral dresses and girls wearing vertical stripes and plaid shirts.
There are many comrades wearing red star hats and military green liberation jackets.
After seeing the people, there are also cars.
New and old bicycles, pedal tricycles for transporting briquettes, pickup trucks and cars.
There is also a three-wheeled blue car with an unnamed name that looks like a little Bengbeng, and so on.
Being used to seeing remote areas and seedlings in the fields, Lu Miao finally saw some traces of the progress of the motherland.
After looking over it, Lu Miao was in a good mood.
That's right...
Why does that person keep looking at her?
Lu Miao's face wrinkled impatiently and turned to the other side.
My original home was near Chongwenmen, and Beijing North Railway Station happened to be not far from Chongwenmen.
Lu Miao was thinking about how to go back, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the person who was staring at her move closer.
She moved to the side, and the man moved with her.
She stood there with a bulging face and stamped her feet. The man's eyes widened and he stamped his feet.
What are you doing?
Where do you get this crazy, playing a comparison game here? !
“...?”
Lu Miao was a little speechless, and the other party suddenly walked towards her.
“What the hell are you talking and stomping here, silly girl, you’ve been in the countryside for a few months, and you don’t even recognize your mother-in-law?”
"...?!??"
Lu Miao was shocked and stared carefully.
The middle-aged man in front of me was dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, with a loose flower pinned to his collar.
Memories flooded through my mind, wasn’t this the original father?
It’s my fault that she was just looking here and there, and didn’t look at the person carefully. She didn’t even recognize him for a while!
Lu Miao felt like he was struck by lightning. Fortunately, he didn't say anything outrageous just now, otherwise he wouldn't know how it would end...
Sticking out his tongue secretly, Lu Miao frowned slightly and stamped his feet:
“ Dad! You’re still talking! I’ve been waiting here for a long time before you came!”
Lu Miao was acting like a pout. , simply interpreting coquettishness and grievance vividly.
Lu Yuanzheng smiled and stepped forward to take the box from her hand.
"Forget that no one can forget my daughter. Dad just stopped the car and was delayed for a while... Let's go and talk as we go."
Lu Yuanzheng led the way and invited Lu Miao to get in the car.
I haven’t seen her for a few months, and I really miss her. Lu Yuanzheng kept talking about her along the way.
From the very beginning, I introduced my aunt Tang Mei, who was making soup at home, waiting to help Lu Miao catch the wind and wash away the dust. Later, she asked how Lu Miao's life in the countryside was going and whether it was going well. Later, he glanced at the delicate white skin on Lu Miao's face, and joked that Lu Miao looked better than before going to the countryside, and was whiter and fatter.
He probably also felt that life in the countryside could not be better than in the city. Lu Yuanzheng quickly opened up the conversation again:
“Imagine it will be almost five months since you went to the countryside. I can’t mention you at home. "My name, otherwise your aunt will burst into tears."
Lu Miao gave a few answers at first.
Because she took the train for two days, she didn't sleep much on the way, and she didn't eat much solid food. She was sleepy, tired and hungry, and really had no energy.
“Dad, let’s talk about it later.”
Now she just wants to get somewhere quickly, eat and sleep!
Lu Yuanzheng chuckled and glanced at the rearview mirror in the car. He saw that Lu Miao's face was full of tiredness and her heart was clear.
"Okay, look how tired my daughter is..."
The car swayed for about ten minutes and finally stopped in front of a row of old-fashioned buildings.
The Lu family is in the courtyard behind the building. The alley on one side of the building is too narrow, and there are also things piled up nearby by nearby residents. The car cannot drive in, so it can only park on the roadside.
Lu Yuanzheng went to park the car and waved his hand for Lu Miao to go back first.
Lu Miao shook her head and waited obediently by the roadside with her box in hand.
According to her own temperament, she might leave first, but not now.
No one knew her when she went to the countryside, so she could come wherever she wanted.
But now it’s time to go back to the Lu family.
Although the original person's temperament is similar to hers, that is to the outside world.
Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei are both relatives of the original person. They know the original person's character well. It is impossible for her to change so exaggeratedly and drastically all at once.
Otherwise, anyone will become suspicious.
Wait by the roadside for Lu Yuanzheng.
Lu Yuanzheng took the box again, and Lu Miao followed him back.
I met some uncles and aunts along the alley, and they all greeted Lu Yuanzheng enthusiastically.
What about "Principal Lu is good", "Principal Lu is back" and so on.
Some people who noticed Lu Miao were surprised for a while and said a few words, "Bao Yatou is back," "Little Bao'er is back," and so on.
This name made Lu Miao a little embarrassed, but people along the way were nodding in agreement, shouting "uncles and aunts" who were neither close nor distant.
Perhaps because Lu Yuanzheng was by his side, Lu Miao was praised several times for being sensible.
Lu Miao was praised, and Lu Yuanzheng was proud of being a father. His waist straightened up unconsciously all the way, and he was so proud.
Unexpectedly, after the father and daughter left, several female comrades in the alley whispered to each other while going out to pour water:
"Don't they all say that life in the countryside is hard? You said Is it true? Why does Principal Lu’s little treasure look more fresh this time than before?”
“Isn’t that right? Yes, my face seems to have become rounder!"
"What do you know? My parents are not only principals, but also officers... Do you think you want me? Say, stop it now! If anyone hears about this topic, it will be difficult for them to live in an alley. "
Several women looked at each other sideways and said to themselves: The topic is not good, but no one can say it more directly than you, right?
Thinking about it, everyone laughed, patted the basin at the door, shook the rag, and went back to the house to cook.
On the other side, Lu Miao followed Lu Yuanzheng into the spacious courtyard. Tang Mei heard the noise in the room and ran out immediately.
What came up was a bear hug full of love, "Miaomiao! Xiaobao!"
Lu Yuanzheng's appearance is more resolute, while Tang Mei's appearance is soft, and her eyes are black and white, as if she is holding her mouth. Water light.
Having been doing housework for many years and not having to withstand the weather outside, Tang Mei's skin was much paler than the aunts she'd seen along the way, and her face didn't look like she was about to turn forty.
