Chapter 78 Homecoming: The Softest Place in My Heart
Although things were bustling outside, Su Yang and Qin Shumo were extremely bored at the moment.
The two of them escaped early in the morning, found a shopping spot, bought some things frantically, and then drove on the highway and sped south.
"Brother-in-law, he hasn't arrived yet."
Qin Shumo sat dejectedly in the passenger seat, looking at the towering mountains on both sides and couldn't help asking again.
“Almost…”
Su Yang replied with two words, which left Qin Shumo too exhausted to complain.
You said that four hours ago. You're so fast, but you're really long-lasting.
We got on the highway before 8am, and apart from stopping at a service area to refuel, we didn't even have a proper meal. It was a bumpy ride, and now the sun is almost setting and we haven't arrived yet.
The road became more and more difficult to walk on. Finally, before the sun set, a quiet little mountain village appeared in Qin Shumo's sight. This location might not even be found on the navigation.
"Are we there yet?"
Seeing the small mountain village, Qin Shuyao suddenly became energetic.
"Um……"
Su Yang's mouth showed a happy smile, a smile that Qin Shumo had never seen before. It came from the heart, sweet, and made people feel happy just by looking at it.
"We're finally here..."
Qin Shumo sighed, twisted his body, and looked at his phone. Oh my god, it was already half past six.
It took us a full ten and a half hours to drive, without stopping, and we were speeding a lot of the way. If a more relaxed female driver had taken the wheel, we probably wouldn't have arrived by midnight.
“It’s so beautiful here…”
Qin Shumo rolled down the car window, breathed in the fresh mountain air, and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, this is the most picturesque scenery.
"Yes, it is beautiful. But if you still say it's beautiful after living here for a month, then it's really beautiful."
Su Yang's words made Qin Shumo stunned. What did he mean?
Looking at Qin Shumo's confused expression, Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention to him. After driving into the village, the villagers were full of curiosity when they saw the car.
"Second Aunt, you just came back."
Su Yang rolled down the car window and drove slowly while greeting people on the roadside.
"Oh my, who was it? It's Yang Wazi. Oh my, he's really grown up. He can drive such a big car."
Su Yang came back, and soon the whole village knew about it.
Su Yang had made a name for himself, and the villagers soon knew about it. He must have made a name for himself driving such a big car.
Yang Wazi was a village celebrity and one of the few college graduates. Besides these, Su Yang had eaten at every family in the village and slept in every family's bed.
Qin Shumo watched all this with curiosity, and was full of curiosity about Su Yang's past.
What kind of environment can cultivate a top-notch person like Su Yang?
The car carefully drove through the village's country road, went up all the way, and finally stopped at the gate of a school halfway up the mountain.
"Sanshan Village Primary School, brother-in-law, your village is called Sanshan Village."
Qin Shumo looked at the simple sign hanging at the school gate and asked curiously. Su Yang nodded, got out of the car, walked to the school gate and patted the school gate.
"Who is it?"
A voice came from a room first, and then a woman walked out of a house tremblingly.
A thin figure, dark skin, black and white hair, deep eye sockets, and wearing the simplest clothes, this is an ordinary rural woman.
When Su Yang saw this figure, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
"Mother Zhang, I..."
Su Yang shouted loudly. Su Yang's voice made the woman stunned, and then a smile bloomed on her face, so brilliant.
"Yangyang, why are you back at this time? Didn't you call me and say you wouldn't be back?"
The woman quickly opened the school gate and looked at Su Yang with a smile on her face. Her eyes were filled with love and tears, tears of happiness.
"I missed you, so I came back."
Su Yang was as obedient as a child at this moment, standing in front of the woman who was much shorter than him, with a smile on his face.
"You've lost weight, but you look more energetic. You haven't eaten yet, right? It's just right, there's still food. Come on in. Is this the car you drive? Are there any friends coming?"
Seeing the Land Cruiser at the door and Qin Shumo jumping out of the car, the woman hurriedly asked.
"Well, I'll introduce you later. Shumo, drive the car in. Mother Zhang, where are the children?"
Su Yang asked as he asked Qin Shumo to drive the car in.
"I'm eating."
The woman said with a smile, and Su Yang also smiled. He didn't even have time to pay attention to Qin Shumo, and quickly walked towards a room in the school.
This was an ordinary house, full of traces of time. Several simple tables were pushed together in the room, forming a large dining room. Inside, a group of children were eating a simple meal of white rice and fried potatoes, and they were eating with great relish. Looking at them, Su Yang couldn't help but tear up.
"Look who's back, kids"
The woman walked into the restaurant and spoke loudly, and Su Yang also walked in with a smile on his face.
"Ah, Brother Yang..."
The restaurant was in an uproar in an instant. All the children put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran towards Su Yang like crazy.
"Oh, our little pomelo, you've grown so tall. Tell your brother if you miss him..."
Su Yang picked up the youngest child and asked happily. The child looked three or four years old, dressed in dirty clothes, and seemed a little shy. He nodded after hearing Su Yang's question. This action made Su Yang nod him with his head again, just like a father-son game.
"Keke, have you listened to what Mother Zhang said recently?"
"Pengpeng has grown taller again, almost catching up with me..."
Qin Shumo parked the car and walked into the restaurant and saw this scene. At this moment, he saw the smile on Su Yang's face, a smile from the heart.
There were more than twenty children, big and small, in the room, a large group chattering away.
"Brother brought you gifts. Let's go get them..."
Su Yang held Xiao Youzi and walked directly to the yard outside with a group of children.
When they heard there were gifts, the children's faces were full of anticipation.
Su Yang came to the car, opened the trunk, and a car full of things appeared in front of everyone.
The Land Cruiser's trunk was already quite spacious, and with Su Yang folding down the back two rows of seats, the space was even greater, like a pickup truck. Now it was completely packed. Fortunately, there were no traffic inspections on the highway, otherwise he would have been fined a lot.
"Here, here's some chocolate. Remember not to eat too much, or it'll ruin your teeth."
"This is a lollipop..."
"This is a toy I brought for you..."
"This is a book..."
"Here, new shoes, everyone has one..."
Qin Shumo stood in the distance, feeling out of place. At this moment, Su Yang seemed like a father who had returned home after working away from home for a long time.
This school, these children, and this mother Zhang are Su Yang's family.
At this moment, Qin Shumo seemed to understand a little bit, and understood why Su Yang's smile was so brilliant.
The happiest thing in the world is for a wanderer to return home. Today, Su Yang returned home. Here, there are no disputes, no intrigues, no bright lights and revelry. There are only a group of innocent children, a mother who waits for his return, a home that belongs to him, and a story that belongs to him.
