Chapter 793 We Can Never Go Back (12)

This time, going home for the New Year disappointed Tan Jiner greatly.

It turns out that the good things of the past can only exist in memory, and people cannot go back to the past.

In the past, the memories of her hometown in her mind were sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and sweet, with many flavors. After years of wandering outside, whenever she thinks back, she thinks mostly of those beautiful things. Even those bitter memories have a different taste because of the precipitation of time, which makes her always want to go back to the past.

Moreover, this time she went home, she wanted Xier to have a deeper concept and impression of her hometown.

Xier left her hometown with her when she was two years old and wandered outside for many years. In her little memory, she had no concept of her hometown. The rental house was her imaginary home.

The only thing Xier remembered about her home was the experience of her father riding her on a big horse when he was alive.

Apart from that, she had no memory of her home, not even her mother, and could not remember anything.

They went home with hope and prepared gifts for everyone they knew and didn't know. The gift was not expensive, but it was full of friendship and thoughtfulness. However, she was greatly disappointed this Spring Festival.

The once poor but warm home was no longer in shape. The once friendly uncle passed away. The aunt who loved to laugh and wear red hair flowers was hit by the years and dragged a heavy sick body... All the little beauties that still existed in Tan Jiner's memory seemed to be gone, and what was left were all unfamiliar to her.

After dealing with the affairs of the old house, Tan Jiner decided to take Xier back to Pujiang.

In the past, she always had something to rely on in her heart, thinking that she could go home if she couldn't make it if she struggled outside. But this time when she left, she knew that she had no way out. She could only move forward, not backward, because there was no way out.

Tan Jiner rejected Zhang Tan's proposal to ask them to go back to Baijia Village in Sichuan together. Early in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she took Xier and Zhang Tan and left the town together. They arrived at the airport, one flew to Chengdu and the other flew to Pujiang.

Zhang Tan's plane left first. Tan Jin'er held Xi'er's hand to see him off. Xi'er started crying while laughing, wiping her tears while wishing him a happy new year.

"Why are you crying? We will meet again soon. I will go find Xiaobai first. When I find Xiaobai, I will bring Xiaobai back."

Xi'er wiped her tears and asked hopefully, "Will you go back to Xiaohongma?"

Zhang Tan: "Of course I will go back to Xiaohongma. Can you put your mind at ease?"

Xi'er nodded with tears in her eyes and said yes.

Before returning to her hometown, her sister told her that home was a better place than Xiaohongma, but after she came back, she found that home was not good at all. Xiaohongma was still better, and her and her sister's small home was still better.

Zhang Tan squatted down, held the crying Xi'er in his arms and coaxed him softly.

In the airport, there were many scenes of parting. There were couples hugging for a long time, there were old people watching their children go away, and there were mothers and daughters seeing off their husbands...

Seeing this, Xi'er asked Zhang Tan nervously if Xiaobai would go back to Xiaohongma.

Zhang Tan comforted him, "Didn't I just say that Xiaobai will definitely go back to Xiaohongma?"

Xier asked about Xiao Zhengzheng again.

Zhang Tan said that he would also go back. Xier asked Liuliu, Dudu, Chengcheng and Xiaomi. She was worried about gains and losses, especially fragile, and needed a hug.

"Where is my little turtle? It's gone. Will it be lost?"

"It is also going through the procedures for taking a plane. It will take the plane with you when the time comes. You will go to Xiaohongma together. When you get there, it will also be there. You will see it then."

Xier was thinking about the little turtle in the old house. She pestered Tan Zhongxiang and asked him innocent questions, which made Tan Zhongxiang very irritated. He didn't want to deal with Zhang Tan much, but this little guy always came to see the little turtle and asked him many questions that he couldn't answer. As long as he could get rid of this 100,000 whys as soon as possible, he generously gave her the little turtle in the courtyard.

So Xier happily took the little turtle with her to take it to Pujiang to raise. They had just checked in the little turtle, and it should have arrived in the cargo hold of the plane.

"Okay, Xier, come down quickly, Boss Zhang is leaving." Tan Jiner said. Xier had been staying in Zhang Tan's arms, delaying him from boarding the plane.

Xier reluctantly came down, and said goodbye to Zhang Tan with Tan Jiner before boarding the plane. She turned around and told Tan Jiner that Boss Zhang didn't like her.

"What are you talking about?" Tan Jiner looked in the direction where Zhang Tan was going, but he had disappeared.

"Boss Zhang hugged Xier, not my sister, he definitely doesn't like my sister."

"I don't want to bother with you." Tan Jiner turned and left, going to their boarding gate.

Xier followed behind and said that Boss Zhang definitely didn't like my sister, because my sister was so fierce and made her eat so many meals that she almost exploded like a balloon.

Tan Jiner walked in front, stopped, waved and said, "Come here."

Holding Xier's hand and walking together, "Don't eat if you can't eat anymore. Sister won't force you to eat."

Xier smiled and tentatively asked if the three bowls of rice she still owed should be paid back?

Tan Jiner said of course she had to pay it back, and Xier was immediately dejected and unhappy.

Soon the two boarded the plane. Tan Jiner asked Xier to sit by the window. They looked out the window and saw the plane slowly starting at the airport and taking off into the air. Xinzhou gradually went away under their feet. Tan Jiner suddenly felt a huge sadness in her heart. Her hometown was far away from her. She could come back every year, but she knew that the beautiful hometown in her heart could never go back again.

She was sad and just wanted to tell Xier that we could never go back again.

At this time, Xier didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly muttered that home was not fun at all, and then continued to watch cartoons with the tablet.

Tan Jiner looked at Xier for a long time. Yes, Tanjia Village is only her home, not Xier's.

Perhaps, Xier's concept of this home is just the snow-white walls in the hotel, the musty smell, and the TV without cartoons...

Give Xier a home, Tan Jiner thought.

Although it is said that wherever a person goes is home, it is just a casual statement. Chinese people attach great importance to the culture of home. If you wander around, you will not have a home in your heart, and you will not have a sense of belonging.

Her spiritual home is in Xinzhou, in Tanjia Village, because she spent her childhood and adolescence there.

But Xier left her hometown too early, she has no spiritual home, and as a sister, Tan Jiner has the responsibility to give this little one a home.

But how to do it? Tan Jiner didn't know.

Zhang Tan returned to Baijia Village again at around 3 pm. The sun shone in the yard, and he just caught Xiaobai and Dunzi setting off firecrackers in the yard.

Dunzi stood aside with his hands covering his ears and watching, while Xiaobai squatted on the ground and slyly touched the fuse.

"Okay, you guys are playing with firecrackers again, aren't you afraid!"

"Dunzi, run~~"

Xiaobai called out, and slid out of the yard, faster than a rabbit.

It seems that Xiaobai has been very comfortable in the days when he was away.

Teacher Jiang heard the sound, came out of the house, stood by the door, looked at him and smiled: "It's Zhang Tan who is back~~"

Zhang Tan felt warm in his heart and asked: "Is the air conditioner in the house installed? I just passed by the county town and went to the store to see it. It said that he came in the afternoon of the third day of junior high school..."

A thousand words are not as heartwarming as one or two family trivia.
