After buying the train ticket back to Xuzhou the day after tomorrow, I stood in front of the square of the train station, called Ban Daddy and waited patiently. I knew that on winter nights, Ban Daddy had always been a habit of leaning against the heating to read newspapers, but the phone was often kept in his briefcase and couldn't remember to take it out... Now he is old and has a bad memory, but he prefers quietness. If he can't do it well, he doesn't even turn on the phone ringtone.

Maybe it was the sound of the call that made me distracted. I couldn't remember my age for a moment, so I hurriedly recalled that he was born at the age of 30. In other words, he was 57 years old this year and would soon retire from his job and become an old man.

However, I have never understood why he had my son at the age of 30 in the context of the era when early marriage and early childbirth. Regarding this, my mother gave a humorous statement. She said that because he was too old-fashioned and did not like girls, he would have dragged the times. If it weren’t for her bodhisattva heart and kind-hearted rescue, he would have been a bachelor with a very historical sense.

Thinking of this, I smiled, and at this time, Daddy Ban finally answered the phone and asked me: "Why are you still calling so late?"

"I just bought a train ticket back to Xuzhou the day after tomorrow. I plan to go home on New Year's Day, so I will call you to notify you."

"Oh, then I'll tell your mom and let her buy some dishes you like tomorrow."

I responded, thinking about saying something, and Daddy Ban asked me again, "Are you still coming back alone this time?"

"Bather Ban, the word you use is really meaningful! I think, although you don't like to speak, the words are really accurate. Often, one word can point out the center, and it definitely has the style of a language master!"

"Don't talk to me, and you will answer whatever you ask."

I sighed, but in a giggling tone, and replied, "Oh!...I'm making jokes with you like this, just hope, don't you reveal my scars? Daddy, we have been father and son for decades, why don't we have any tacit understanding of father and son?... We really need to pay attention to this matter, and then take some time to figure it out, otherwise this kind of non-tacity will definitely affect the harmony of our family. This is definitely not an exaggeration..."

Dad Ban was silent in my chatter, waiting for me to stop. After a long time, he asked me in a low tone: "Zhaoyang, you have been in such a vague relationship for so many years. Are you feeling well in your heart?... Now even Xiaoyun is about to get married. We really don't know what mood you are coming back to attend her wedding."

I lowered my head and looked at the ground cut into countless shapes by the floor tiles. It seemed that I saw the scenes that broke in my life, which have not been repaired until today, and the hardships that a person feels late at night... In fact, I have a hard time in my heart, but over the years, I have lived like a salted fish, and have learned to use various disguises to shape myself very much, and then merge with the surroundings in harmony, although sometimes it is very obvious...

I still smiled and replied, "Dad Ban, Xiao Yun's marriage is something that is worth our happiness. You used it to mock me for so many years of inaction. Isn't it a bit unkind? Although I am a little distorted, I really worked hard enough in love, but no girl likes me, why don't you give me some advice!"

My father was successfully distracted by me and said, "If you change your unreliable nature, there will naturally be girls who are willing to live with you."

"You are still so sharp...Dad, it's still not too late. You should go to bed early. By the way, don't forget to take me to say hello to my mother... Also, if you have any need for me to take back from Suzhou, call me before tomorrow night."

After saying this, I did not give my father a chance to talk to me anymore, and hurriedly hung up the phone, but my whole body suddenly stopped. In front of the huge railway station square, I felt confused about not knowing where to go... So, I was more anxious to wait for Mi Cai to come back! I was full of regrets. If Li Xiaoyun's wedding was able to be with me as a girlfriend, how fulfilling I would be, and I would not have to send my blessings in a lonely manner.

.........

Taking a taxi, I passed by Zhuomei again, who was still shining with lights. I asked the driver to park the car here on a whim. I wanted to prepare a wedding gift for Li Xiaoyun, which must be expensive and sincere... That's what I think. At this time, I have money and time to choose, and I can give Li Xiaoyun a generous gift.

I am really grateful to Li Xiaoyun. I will never forget how I appeared in front of her. But she did not look down on me because of this. Instead, she helped me rebuild my confidence again and again... Although our relationship began with 1,000 yuan and ended with 1,000 yuan, the kind of relationship that was similar to friends that was derived is real.

Or, what is more real than gratitude is my guilt. I really let down a good woman and my parents' old age because of this... But I don't regret it because I believe that the city I have always adhered to will bring me another kind of beauty, including the most real love.

Yes, I still pursue pure love and the sky city that has been stationed in my heart but has been stripped of reality.

After entering the mall, I began to wander among the counters. Finally, I made up my mind and bought a bottle of perfume for Li Xiaoyun, hoping that she could be an exquisite woman after marriage, and also bought a lighter for her husband to express my hope that their life after marriage can be prosperous.

I am sure that I have taken the initiative to get these two wedding gifts, because when I left Zhuomei, it was already 11 o'clock late at night, and I chose them for two hours, so I also felt that Li Xiaoyun would be very happy when she received these two gifts.

......

After another busy daytime, I did not stay at the company to work overtime this night. I returned to my residence early and packed up some luggage. In order to attend Li Xiaoyun's wedding in the morning, I bought a train ticket from Suzhou to Xuzhou at 1:30 at night. Because it was a high-speed train, I could arrive in 2 and a half hours, so when I got home, I still had some rest time.

After a short trip, I arrived in Xuzhou at four o'clock in the evening. Because I didn't want to disturb my father and mother, I simply booked an hourly room near the train station, and then waited for dawn and Li Xiaoyun's wedding.

I will update today. I want to take a break early and adjust the biological clock. Staying up late to write something at night is really hurting my body...
