Chapter 36: Returning To Hometown
On July 9, Li Heng ran, walked briskly, taught Uncle Liu Tai Chi, and practiced programming, acupuncture and other skills as usual.
The only thing that was different from usual was that at three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Heng received a call from his mother.
Li Heng understood what was going on without even thinking.
It must be the fact that I agreed to the blind date last month. This is to urge me to return to my hometown as soon as possible.
Li Heng felt helpless when he thought of going on a blind date.
In the past, he might have wanted to go on a blind date or get married, but now that he has a system, and he might even become a god in the future, how can he still think about going on a blind date or getting married?
Moreover, he had gone on blind dates several times before, but each time he was dissuaded by the bizarre demands of his blind date partners.
Some women think they are good-looking, but after Li Heng saw the real person, he could only describe them in words.
Some women say that their good fortune depends on their good looks.
In fact, it's just about their good looks.
However, it doesn't matter if you are handsome.
You also need to have a good family background, a stable job, and a good income.
To be considered good at good looks, you have to meet all of them.
In short, he felt that the blind date scene was a wishing well for women.
He didn't want to enter this blind date again.
But I promised my mother last month, and it just doesn't make sense not to go back now.
Hope this is the last time!
"I haven't been back to my hometown for two or three months."
Thinking of the hometown where he was born and raised, Li Heng couldn't wait to go back.
When I answered the phone, my mother's nagging voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Mom said a little unhappy.
Li Heng did not explain, but said directly: "Mom, are you calling about the last blind date? You don't need to rush me, I'm going back right away."
"Yes and no."
Chen Xiujuan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Didn't I arrange a blind date for you last time? It was a good idea, but as soon as they heard that you resigned, they regretted it, but I don't worry, Mom I've found a new blind date for you, and we've made an appointment for tomorrow.
You should go home quickly, and we'll be waiting for you to cook. "
have to!
Li Heng finally understood.
I guess, because they saw that they had changed so quickly and become so good, they didn't urge them to go on a blind date, but they were more concerned about their cooking skills.
I haven't been home for a few months, so it's time to go back and enjoy family time with my family.
"Mom, I'll go back right away." Li Heng said.
Chen Xiujuan warned: "Drive slowly, we are not in a hurry."
"I got it, Mom."
"Well, then we'll wait for you to come back."
The phone was hung up.
Li Heng dragged his suitcase out and walked towards the basement.
I got in the car and drove towards Songzhou, which is more than a hundred kilometers away.
The scenery on the road passed quickly before my eyes.
Songzhou urban area.
Qingyun Community.
Li Heng stopped the car downstairs, opened the door and got out of the car, carrying the suitcase and walking towards home.
Qingyun Community is an old community that is fifteen or sixteen years old. It has a 6-story staircase house. His parents spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy it more than ten years ago.
Later, the real estate market rose sharply.
A house that once cost more than 1,000 square meters rose to more than 6,000 square meters.
Then the real estate market fell.
Although the market price was still more than 4,000 square meters, in fact, if it were sold, it would sell for at most 3,000 square meters.
After all, it is an old community with a building age of more than ten years, and it is still a step-down house. In the current environment of the property market downturn, this kind of house is the first to lose value.
However, Li Heng's house is only for his own use and not for sale, so it doesn't matter whether he makes a profit or a loss.
Moreover, there is a self-built house in his hometown. Although it is an old house that is more than 20 years old, it has been renovated and is not worse than those in the city.
However, few people live in the house in my hometown, and I only go back once or twice during the holidays.
Li Heng sighed in his heart when he thought of his hometown.
It was the hometown that carried his entire childhood. It also reminded him of the boy running in the fields and the friends he used to play with.
It's a pity that time flies by and can never be returned.
Thumb thump!!!
Li Heng climbed up to the third floor easily. Looking at the open door, Li Heng felt warm in his heart and walked in.
"mom!"
No response.
Li Heng shouted again: "Dad!"
There was a clang and a figure flew out of the bedroom.
It was his father who had a beer belly.
He has a Chinese character face, a tall nose, regular facial features, and good looks.
However, time has left deep marks on his face, and white hair has climbed up to his temples.
Looking at his father who was getting older and older, Li Heng couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart and his eyes were a little moist.
He suddenly realized that his parents had grown old without him realizing it.
If he hadn't bound to the system, stopped moving forward, and stopped to pay attention to his parents' faces, he didn't know when he would have discovered the fact that his parents were old.
People all over the world say that a son wants to be raised but his parents are not there.
People often wait until they lose something before they know how to cherish it.
Looking back on his 28 years of life, Li Heng found that the memories he could recall were very few.
In his childhood, boyhood, and even in his youth, there were few memories left that made him feel happy.
Life is like this, what a failure.
The father in front of him is also getting old without realizing it. If there is no system, maybe when his father is old, he will be shocked to realize that his father is old, but he has not fulfilled his filial piety, and will suffer for the rest of his life.
His heart trembled, and Li Heng said with a trembling voice: "Dad, you are old."
A touch of emotion appeared on Li He's face. Just when he was about to sigh that his son had finally grown up, his mother's loud voice came from the door.
"What are you two doing? Come here and help me move my things. I'm exhausted."
"oh."
"good!"
The two of them were woken up, looking a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly went downstairs to move things.
There were a lot of ingredients on the three-wheeled battery cart downstairs, and Li Heng could smell the ingredients from afar.
Looking at the ingredients in this small cart, Li Heng was speechless.
"Mom, why did you buy so many things? How can you finish all the food?"
Chen Xiujuan smiled and said: "Eat slowly, it's not like you can finish it in one day."
Li Heng smiled bitterly.
These ingredients are enough to feed more than a dozen people for two days. There are only three people in their family. It will take at least a week to eat so much food.
However, he also knew that he couldn't speak to his mother, so he simply didn't say more.
Carrying the things, he walked towards home.
He was very fast, and when he ran home, the old couple climbed to the stairs on the second floor.
Back home, Li He said: "The last time your mother came back from you, she praised your cooking skills and asked your father and I to try your cooking to see if it was as delicious as your mother said. "
When Chen Xiujuan heard that she could eat the food cooked by her son, she said excitedly: "Go quickly! Your dad still doesn't believe it. You have to make it delicious and don't let it slip."
Li Heng promised again and again and walked into the kitchen to cook.
Li He was sitting in the living room playing with his mobile phone.
He didn't believe that his son's cooking skills were that good.
However, he was still slightly shocked, because his son really managed to lose more than 50 pounds in more than a month.
Although the two had video chatted many times before, and he had seen the tremendous changes in his son, it was still unbelievable to see his son in person.
Although my son has good willpower, when did he become so awesome?
