Now that I've set foot on this land again, the city seems to have changed a lot. The airport has been rebuilt, the interior decoration is new, and it looks very stylish.
The thick Beijing accent of my hometown filled my ears. It's been a long time since I last heard it, and at the same time, I feel very warm in my heart.
I'm back. After eight years, I'm stepping on this land again.
But in my heart, there's a bit of nervousness, but more, there's a deep sadness in my heart.
When I left back then, I felt that the future was unfamiliar.
But now that I've set foot on this land, I don't feel close.
There's a sense of timidity when I'm close to home.
Mother has been waiting at the airport for a long time, and she arrived early. She must have specially dressed up after knowing that I'm coming back.
After eight years, when the mother and daughter met again, they didn't hug each other warmly like normal people. They just stood there quietly and looked at each other. There was estrangement and estrangement in their eyes. I think she must have sadly discovered a flash of indifference in my eyes.
From her face, it's not hard to see how much she wants to go forward and hug me tightly. She wants to tell me how much she missed me in the past eight years as a mother.
How she wanted to tell me how worried my family had been about me since I had been away for so long.
Maybe she regretted what she did eight years ago … I thought.
But all the words are stuck in my throat under my cold gaze. There are thousands of words, but I can't open my mouth.
"Mom, I'm back."
Amidst the noise, I smiled and broke the awkward silence between us.
Mother came back to her senses and forced a smile. She chuckled and muttered, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back … "
Then, she felt a bit awkward. As if to ease the awkwardness, she hurried forward to help me carry my luggage.
Out of the corner of my eye, I instinctively dodged her hand. My mother was in a daze, and her hand froze in mid-air.
"Mom, I'll do it myself."
As I said that, there was no change in my expression. I knew that my cold gaze must have made my mother's heart ache a little, because I saw a flash of pain on her face.
I suddenly realized that these eight years, which was neither a long nor short period of time, seemed to be like a great flood that washed away the dependence and connection between mother and daughter.
"Xiachun, do you still hate me? Eight years ago … I had no choice but to send you out of the country! I … I'm doing this for your own good! "
A smile appeared on my face, but I said nothing.
After a long while, I sighed. "I know …"
I know, so you really don't have to explain so much.
She gave me another long look.
"Xiachun, is the luggage heavy? Let Mom do it for you! "
Her mother's voice was very soft and even trembled slightly. She said carefully, "Let me carry it for you … Xiachun, I'll carry your luggage for you, okay?"
I was stunned. When I looked up, I saw her frowning slightly. She seemed a little humble now. It was a world of difference from when she had arrogantly chased me out of the country.
I pursed my lips and nodded silently, allowing my mother to take the luggage from me.
