On May 12, 2008, Wenchuan had a magnitude 8.0 earthquake, and Shaanxi and Gansu had aftershocks with magnitude 6.5 to 7.0.
On that day, Luo Qiqi, who was in San Francisco, drove to work as usual. He went to the office thirty minutes early, drinking milk and sending and receiving emails online. Suddenly, she saw the news of the Wenchuan earthquake and clicked in shock to confirm this. The authenticity of the message.
After a few minutes of numbness in her brain, she suddenly realized that Sichuan and Shaanxi bordered. With such a large earthquake in Sichuan, Shaanxi would definitely be affected. Not to mention that it was the early morning of Chinese time, she called her home and no one answered the phone; changed her father's mobile phone, no one answered; changed her mother's mobile phone, no one answered; and changed her sister's mobile phone, still no one answered.
Qiqi dialed her parents' phone again and again, and her hands began to tremble in the unanswered call.
The Chinese colleague Xiao Ling ’s parents were in Chengdu. When the phone was unavailable, she lay on her desk and cried aloud.
Throughout the morning, Luo Qiqi did nothing, but just dialed the phone over and over again, refreshing the web page over and over again, but the earthquake just happened, and even the magnitude of the earthquake was not really determined, and there were few reports online. In order to understand the impact of Shaanxi Province, she found a map of China, measured the distance between Xi'an and Wenchuan with a ruler, calculated the actual spatial distance according to the scale, and then called the alumni of the University of Massachusetts Institute of Crustal Movement to inquire about his earthquake propagation. The law of secondary decline. By the time she got off work, she had become a half-seismic expert.
At night, the phone finally got through. Dad said: "Everyone is okay, the house is okay, so the ceiling has dropped a few pieces, the TV is smashed a little deformed, you don't have to worry, Yuan Yuan has been with us all the time."
Qi Qi asked relatives at home one by one, confirmed everyone's safety, and told her sister Qian Dingwan.
Just about to hang up, my sister said, "You call my mobile phone after ten minutes. I have something to tell you."
Ten minutes later, Luo Qiqi called her sister ’s phone: "What is it?"
"Sister, are you too many teenagers and haven't returned to your country? You went to the United States, not the moon! After the earthquake yesterday afternoon, we didn't dare to sleep in the house and stayed on the street for one night. My parents kept talking about you. . Even the President of the United States has to go home to visit his parents? You have no reason to wait until you have a trip home? I know you gave a lot of money to your family. The house that your parents live in and the car I drive are you If you do n’t have your money, my parents and I might still be squeezing the 70s in the tube house, but do you know that my father has liver cirrhosis? Have you been to the hospital with my mother? If we were in the epicenter, did you think about it? You won't see us ... "Luo Yuanyuan cried out. Five points is the fear of life and death impermanence. Five points is the empathy of the tragic earthquake.
Luo Qiqi said nothing, for a long time, she said: "I will arrange the holiday as soon as possible and return to China."
Luo Yuanyuan cried and laughed: "It's about the same, my parents will be very happy."
Although it was decided to take a vacation, the work-related things weren't the only way to go. It was September when Luo Qiqi made all the arrangements.
The Chinese returning home carried large bags, so she only brought a medium-sized suitcase. It took off from San Francisco and arrived in Beijing in more than ten hours.
Luo Qiqi thought in a trance, that more than ten hours was the time to take a train to Beijing in a quarter of that year. It turns out that the distance between the Pacific Ocean is not so far away.
At Xi'an Airport, I took my luggage and walked out. I heard someone shouting, "Sister, sister."
A beautifully dressed woman kept waving at her.
I have n’t seen it for four years, and it ’s a little strange, but when my sister hugged her, the familiar moment of blood origin came back.
瑗 瑗 is still the same as before, likes to talk. While driving, she kept talking, asking about things in the United States, nagging about domestic life, and said happily: "Oh, yes, my colleague and I went to the tax bureau to do things that day, and the gang of civil servants did n’t have such glamour. But it was absolutely cold. Then suddenly a person came out, I did n’t know him, but he knew me, and said, "Is your sister Luo Qiqi?", And I said, "Yeah," and he asked my colleagues to help us get things done smoothly. We To thank him, they refrained from saying, "Something is a small thing, my sister and I are old classmates." I used to tell my colleagues that you were a great person since you were a child. My colleague still doesn't believe me. . "
Luo Qiqi pretended to be tired and closed his eyes. Since she was a child, has she been outstanding? Is her memory too good, or is it too forgetful?
The car was parked downstairs, and Qiqi didn't have the familiar feeling of going home. He didn't even know what floor the house was on. He was like a guest, and he was led by Ao Yuan.
The food prepared by my mother is surprisingly rich, it seems that Luo Qiqi has to make up for the food that has not been eaten in four years.
Luo Qiqi is only responsible for eating, not for speaking. However, the dining table where Luo Yuan was there would never be deserted. She even talked with laughter, with pictures, talked about the leader's foreign appearance for a while, and said the gossip of colleagues for a while, making the whole family laugh and laugh.
While eating, her mother said tentatively, "Qiqi, if you meet the right person, you will also be more concerned about yourself. Girls will get married no matter how successful their career. You have to be an example for your sister, or else she I always said straightforwardly, 'My sister doesn't have a boyfriend yet.' "
Yuan Qi Zhao Qiqi frowned, saying in a low voice that everyone on the table could hear: "Still you are smart, stay abroad, you can't hear these naggings at all, you will be nagging me next time I will go to you now. "
Mom and Dad laughed: "As you are, even if you pass the level 4 test three times in university, you barely pass it, and go abroad?"
"Good Chinese, why do you want to take an English test? However, you are not allowed to graduate, neurosis! Why haven't you seen a Chinese university student take a Chinese test?"
"Then don't speak English, your professional grades ..."
"You guys say it again, I don't want to eat anymore!"
Yuan Yuan glared arrogantly, and Mom and Dad immediately surrendered all the same as before: "In fact, there is really no need to take English exams, and they are rarely used. Usually, the test is done by the person who uses it.
Luo Qiqi listened with a smile, enjoying this fine happiness.
After eating, Yuan Yuan led Qi Qi to visit her bedroom.
Luo Qiqi bought the house after going abroad. She paid more than 400,000 yuan and her parents paid for the decoration. Because this bedroom is reserved for Qiqi, it has never been used by anyone. The table, bed, and bookcase are all new, and there is no memory of time. Only the books on the shelf look familiar.
Qi Qi took "Dream of Red Mansions", sat on the edge of the bed, and turned it around. In the 1979 edition, the paper was already a little yellowed. It is hard to believe that this book is thirty years old.
Xuan Yuan said the same: "How is it? I have kept your baby in good condition." She opened the door under the bookcase. "The sealed box with your autograph is here. I have never opened it and read it."
Qi Qi stared at the box in silence, and Yuan Xiao smiled and said, "You have a good rest, wait for the rest, I will accompany you to eat all over the streets."
Qiqi took out the box, but did not open it, but rubbed the signature on the box with his finger. These signatures were written when she graduated from her third year of high school, when she was only seventeen. After so many years, even she herself could not remember what was inside.
She sat silently for a while, and stuffed the box back into the bookcase beside the bed.
After the shower, Luo Qiqi sent an email to Shen Yuanzhe, Yang Jun, and Lin respectively. They are the only surviving friends of her middle school years. They have lost contact since going abroad, and she is not sure whether these emails still work.
Obviously very tired, but maybe because of the jet lag, or maybe because the box next to the pillow was carrying the past, she turned over and over, and always couldn't sleep well.
The next morning, she was brushing her teeth and the phone rang.
"Qiqi, your phone."
She spit out mouthwash in a hurry, ran over, and picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Student Luo Qiqi, your voice changes quite a bit."
This way of speaking cannot be the steady Shen Yuanzhe, "Yang Jun, you are ..." She looked down at the caller ID, "Are you working in Beijing?"
"Yeah, how about you? Is your return to China temporary or long-term?"
"Temporarily, but the holiday is quite long, there is a month."
"When will you go back, will you pass through Beijing? When Lin and I still meet, we will always mention you, a ruthless bastard, and think that our triangular relationship was enviable!"
"That's so good, when I go back to Beijing, you invite us to dinner."
"Success, as long as you come, I will accompany everything you eat."
"It seems that you are rich now."
"Go to hell, don't dare to compare with you who make money."
"Come on, the dollar is depreciating, don't you know? Do you have a girlfriend? Did you get tangled with Tong Yunzhu?"
Yang Jun only smiled, and said after a while: "There is no girlfriend yet."
"Student, listen to my advice, don't hang yourself on a tree, you still learn computers, don't you know that important files need to be backed up?"
Yang Jun asked in a hurry: "Classmate, what about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Luo Qiqi said sorrowfully: "Not yet."
Yang Jun laughed loudly: "Lin is still married, and the child is almost a year old. She is a girl, like her, she is a little still."
"That's great, I approve that she can bring her family to our triangle relationship feast."
"Well! It's not you who paid anyway. By the way, what do you want to do when you return to your country? Have you thought about going back to your hometown?"
"Mainly to accompany my parents, I haven't thought about anything else."
"Ah! You are just back, full of revolutionary romantic feelings. When you and your parents live under a roof for two weeks, you will know the taste of class enemies. I have summarized my relationship with my parents. , The absolute fragrance is nearly smelly. "
Luo Qiqi just laughed and did not speak.
Yang Jun said: "I hung up the phone first. All my contact information has been sent to your mailbox. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time. We are friends who grew up together. You have to be kind to me. Will be angry. "
"I know."
"Give the phone to your mother, I will say hello to my aunt."
Luo Qiqi handed the phone to her mother. He heard her happy laughter and repeated, "Oh, don't have a girlfriend yet?"
Luo Qiqi shook his head and smiled, and continued to brush his teeth and wash his face.
After living at home for two consecutive weeks, Luo Qiqi began to understand Yang Jun's theory.
She and her parents have not fallen into class enemies, but it is obviously not as important as when they first came back. Mom started dancing in the park again. Dad often ran to find chess friends, no longer holding her and asking questions.
Luo Yuan was still justified, still trying to spare time to accompany her sister, but it is estimated that the end of the patience deadline: "Sister, when will you return to the United States?"
Luo Qiqi laughed: "I will leave Xi'an next week."
"go to Beijing?"
"No, go back to the place where we grew up, and then go to Beijing to meet classmates, and then back to San Francisco."
A week later, Luo Qiqi successfully completed the task of visiting relatives and left Xi'an under the favor of his parents.
After a two-hour flight, Luo Qiqi reached her destination.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, the heat wave came, and it was at least 2 ° C higher than Xi'an. The wind was very strong, and her hair was blown around. Luo Qiqi kept walking and looking around. Just like the tourists around, she could not see that she had lived in this city for ten years.
Sitting in the taxi, Luo Qiqi looked out of the window, her expression was very trance, the change on both sides of the road was really too big, she could not find the familiar kindness she had known.
The taxi driver asked her, "Does Miss come to travel? What attractions are you interested in?"
"No." After a pause, she said, "I grew up here when I was a kid."
The driver originally wanted to sell the chartered tour business, but he didn't expect to look away. When he met a local, he smiled and said, "Look at you like this and haven't been back for a long time?"
"ten years."
"Ouch! That's really long enough!"
"Yes!" It was a long time.
When it arrived at the hotel, it was already dark.
After Luo Qiqi took a shower, he could not fall asleep in bed.
Back in this city, she was a bit trance all the way, and there was a faint excitement.
Since she couldn't sleep, she simply climbed up and stood on the terrace, looking out at the blurred lights of the city, but couldn't see which light was her home.
After so many years, this place still involves her heart.
