"Who's outside? Why are you standing at our door? Are you trying to steal something?
You're quite bold. You dare to steal into my house? Do you believe that I'll break your dog legs?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Hao Ren trembled with excitement. Uncle An looked much older than he was five years ago, but his temper was still as hot as before, and he would break people's legs at any time.
"Uncle An, it's me. Little Hao is back."
The steel basin fell to the ground.
"You're really Little Hao! It was really Xiao Hao who had returned. Anran's mother, Xiao Hao, had returned! It's really Little Hao who's back!"
Papa An was very excited. He ran to Hao Ren and gave him a tight slap.
"Where have you been for the past five years? Why didn't you send a message to your family?
Do you know how worried we were about you? Everyone thought you died outside.
Back then, you left without even saying goodbye. The entire village searched for you in the forest for two whole days.
Ranran, that girl, looks at your photos all day. Do you know how worried Ranran was about you back then? You brat, you still know to come back. I'll beat you to death."
"What are you doing!" Mother An rushed out of the house and pushed Father An away, shielding Hao Ren behind her.
Hao Ren felt a warm feeling in his heart. In the past, whenever he did something wrong, Mother An would protect him. Now that she saw that Papa An was about to hit him, she instinctively shielded him behind her.
"Auntie, Little Hao is back to see you. I'm sorry!”
Hao Ren's eyes were glistening with tears as he knelt down in front of his parents. He finally realized that he had been too inhumane in the past few years. He had cut off all contact and hadn't even written a letter to his family.
He didn't care that there was a group of people who were worried about him every day, hoping that he would return one day.
"Little Hao, get up quickly. It's good that you're back. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go cook for you.”
"Auntie, I want to eat the egg noodles you made.”
"Alright, I'll make you egg noodles."
Hao Ren followed Papa An into the house and found that the furnishings in the house hadn't changed at all. Other than a few new furniture and electrical appliances, the other things were placed in the same positions as five years ago.
"Uncle An, I still have this."
It was a small wooden horse that Papa An had made for them to play with when they were young. He remembered that when he and Anran were young, they would put the wooden horse in the yard and rock it for a whole day.
He didn't expect that after so many years, the little wooden horse was still there. From its shiny surface, it could be seen that someone often took care of it.
Not only was the wooden horse still there, but the toys they used to play with when they were young were all placed on a wooden shelf in the corner. They were very well preserved.
Looking at these toys reminded Hao Ren of the time when he and Anran played crazily in the yard when they were young. The little girl followed him around all day long like a little bug. When Hao Ren was tired, he would carry her on his back. The little girl even said that she would be Brother Hao's bride when she grew up.
"Those things, I originally wanted to chop them up and use them as firewood. I wanted to put them at home and take up space, but Ranran that girl wouldn't let me.
Later, when I saw that there were insect eyes, I painted it with a layer of paint. Now, it has been left there. Your aunt will wipe it every few days. She takes care of these things more than she takes care of me.
By the way, Little Hao, are these fake cigarettes you bought? They're not strong at all. They're not as strong as the leaf cigarettes I grow myself. They're too light and tasteless.
However, this wine was not bad. It was better than the steamed corn that Wang Mazi sold in town.”
Hao Ren couldn't help but chuckle. This was how Papa An was. No matter how good the food was, as long as it didn't suit his taste, it was useless. This taste hadn't changed for decades.
"You old man, the child is filial to you and you're still picky. Drink less.”
" Just one drink. By the way, Xiao Hao brought you a gift. A necklace and a ring. Here you go."
"Little Hao, this thing is very expensive, right?"
"Auntie, it's not worth much. I've earned a lot of money now. You're my only family. Isn't it only right for me to show filial piety to you?
By the way, Auntie, where's Ranran?"
Father and Mother An looked at each other and laughed. They thought Hao Ren was going to keep quiet, but he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Ranran is now studying at the National Defense University of Technology. Originally, your uncle and I wanted to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but Ranran said that she wanted to fulfill your agreement and go to the military school to serve in the army, so she went to the National Defense University of Technology.
Ranran called us today. Her school has a week off. She will take the bus to Jinghong bus station at nine o'clock tonight and rest in Jinghong for the night. Tomorrow, she will take the bus from Jinghong to town. Your uncle will go to town to pick her up.
This is Ranran's phone number. Give Ranran a call. If she knew that you were back, she would be so happy."
" Uncle An, Aunt An, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going to Jinghong to pick up Ranran." Hao Ren took Anran's phone number, threw his chopsticks on the table, and ran out.
He opened the door and started the car. He stepped on the accelerator and turned around to drive to Jinghong Coach Station. It was 7:15 now, and Anran's car would arrive at Jinghong Coach Station at 9:00 p.m. It was an hour's drive from Puwen Town to Jinghong City, so it would not be a problem to reach Jinghong Coach Station before Anran.
He hadn't seen An Ran for five years. During these five years, he had been thinking about An Ran all the time. He had avoided her for five years, and now he didn't want to wait any longer.
"This child, drive slowly!" Mother An called out.
"He's gone far away and can't hear us anymore. Let's go into the house. This kid still has some conscience. It's not in vain for us to worry about this kid in our hearts.”
" Of course. Little Hao and Ranran's relationship has been tested by time. I acknowledge him as my son-in-law," Mother An said with a smile.
"Hey, isn't Ranran going to join the army after graduation? I heard that marriage isn't allowed during military service. When do you think we can have grandchildren?”
"Have you drunk too much? As long as Ranran graduates from the National University of Defense Technology and enters the army, she will be awarded the rank of first lieutenant. At that time, she will be a proper officer.”
"That's true." Papa An was enlightened.
" You're so stupid. Go into the house and tidy up the table. I'll help Little Hao make the bed."
"Alright, go ahead. I'll clean up the table."
The warrior ran wildly on the three-meter-wide rural road. There was basically no one on the road at night, so there was no need to worry about bumping into people.
It usually took 15 minutes to drive to town, but Hao Ren only took seven minutes to get there. The time had been reduced by more than half.
After arriving in town, Hao Ren didn't stop for even a second. He turned onto the national highway and sped toward Jinghong Coach Station.
Their speed kept increasing along the way, and they kept overtaking cars. No one even checked. When they passed the toll station, they used a dedicated passage. It had to be said that they were awesome after putting on the military card...
