Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't say anything, Dong's father asked again: "When will you be able to take that preparatory exam after you get the certificate?"

"Tomorrow." Dong Qiangqiang admitted, "morrow early tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Hearing this, Dong's father was shocked, "Then why don't you go back quickly?" He said while waving his hand to drive Dong Qiangqiang away: "I bought a round-trip ticket, so I took a flight back at 12 a.m. and couldn't stay here for long."

"The next high-speed train to Hannover will leave at 21:48, and there are about 50 minutes left. I can go directly from the straight ladder on this floor to the high-speed train platform on the second floor of the underground. It is very convenient and will not miss the problem." Although Dong Qiangqiang said this, he actually has not bought a return ticket yet. He said this just to reassure his father.

"Really?" Dong's father said worriedly, "Don't fool me, boy. Give me your vote."

"I definitely won't miss the exam, so don't worry." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at his watch and suggested with a smile, "It's almost 3 hours before you board the plane. Why don't I take you some food first? There are a bunch of restaurants over there, and it won't take long to eat. I'll leave after you finish eating."

After hearing what Dong Qiangqiang said, Dong's father felt really hungry, and the plane meal on the plane was not full. He waved his hand and compromised, "Then you just need to find something to eat, the faster the better, and you can leave immediately after eating."

"Then what do you want to eat?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, pointing to a row of colorful lights in the distance, "Chinese or Western food?"

"Will eat which one quickly?" Dong's father said indifferently.

"If you don't reject fast food, then Burger King. Its burger is full and solid, and it's time to watch."

Before Dong Qiangqiang could finish introducing, Dong's father had already walked towards Burger King with great strides.

The air conditioning in Burger King was very open. Dong Qiangqiang picked a seat by the window and placed the two sets in front of his father and himself.

Looking at Dong Qiangqiang's voracious look, Dong's father was slightly surprised: "Didn't you have dinner?"

"Well, I'm afraid you will be there in advance when I walk away." Dong Qiangqiang wiped the tomato sauce on his mouth, "Your phone seems to be out of power. When I called it just now, it was turned off."

"You should eat less fast food in the future and eat more fruits and vegetables." Dong's father took a bite of the burger and continued to teach his lesson, "Fast food is not nutritious, and eating too much is not healthy. The body is the capital of revolution. Only with a good body can you study hard and work well..."

After hearing that my father was going to make a long speech again, Dong Qiangqiang quickly defended: "I'm not always eating. Why don't you just make do with it when you come? I usually cook by myself."

"Oh, by the way, your mother asked me to give you this." Dong's father put down the burger, took out a cowhide envelope from his backpack, and put it in front of Dong Qiangqiang.

Dong Qiangqiang suddenly froze when eating French fries. He knew that the envelope was money without looking at it. "Why did you bring the money back again?" He couldn't help but complain, "Then will I not give it to you?"

"Hurry up and put it away." Mr. Dong deliberately urged with a stern face, "Your mother told you not to send money to home in the future, we have enough money. You can save some money by yourself, don't be too busy, there are still more places to use money in the future."

Dong Qiangqiang knew that his father hated the most quarrel, so he stopped giving in and took the money into his bag.

"I didn't tell you some things at home before, because I was afraid you would be distracted. In fact, it's no big deal. Your mother and I sold the house in Zhongguancun, paid back the money I borrowed from relatives and friends, and bought a small apartment on Shangdi."

Dong Qiangqiang knew that his father had obtained a bigger house after his life's struggle. He originally wanted to ask his parents why he wanted to sell it, but then he thought, his father said he had to pay off his debt and asked again, which was just a waste of time.

"You should tell me," Dong Qiangqiang muttered in a low voice, "I have the ability to pay off my debt."

"Your mother said, the house was big before, and we couldn't use it even if you came out, so it would be better to change to a smaller one." Mr. Dong wiped out the burger in his hand, "Besides, it's not a big deal for relatives to always owe money, but if they sell it... it will be purified."

Dong Qiangqiang heard that some relatives must have urged their parents to pay off their debts. He suddenly felt his eyes dry and wanted to cry.

"It's definitely not as good as Zhongguancun, but the house is cheaper, so I bought it. In addition, when I was choosing a house, my mother and I found a place that was very remote, but the house is cheaper than that of Zhongguancun. We will go and take a look after a while."

Dong Qiangqiang rubbed his eyes and asked with concern: "What about mom now? Are you still going to the hospital?"

"It's nothing, I just go to the hospital for regular check-ups." Dong's father took off his hat and put it on the table, saying self-deprecatingly, "When people are old, the parts are not very good, so I can only run to the hospital more often. I guess it will be back in a short while."

"You and your mother have always been very strong and can live for 100 years. Oh no, 120 years old..." Dong Qiangqiang looked at Dong's father's gray hair and said distressedly.

"Why are you living for so long? I'm not that pretentious." Although Dong's father's tone was joking, there seemed to be a sense of sorrow in his eyes. He picked up a piece of French fries, but he didn't put it in his mouth for a long time, nor did he continue to say anything further.

Dong Qiangqiang looked out the window and suddenly saw something. He hurriedly said to Dong's father: "You are here to wait for me."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Before Dong's father finished speaking, Dong Qiangqiang had already run out of Burger King quickly.

He suddenly entered the DM Daily Chemical Supermarket opposite Burger King.

Soon, he jogged back to Burger King with two large bags of things, and then threw the bags onto the dining table. "You bring all these back in a while."

"What is this?" Mr. Dong couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you just tell you not to spend money indiscriminately?"

"This is all health care products, deep-sea fish oil, garlic essence, bone and joint nutrients, as well as brewer yeast, propolis, vitamins, and heart-protecting minerals..." Dong Qiangqiang said in one breath, "You take it back and eat it with your mother."

Looking at the two bags of health products, Mr. Dong seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said softly: "It's getting late, I'll take you to the station."

The two men walked towards the elevator one after another. When they passed by a fruit supermarket, Dong's father suddenly turned back. "I'll buy a few oranges, you'll wait for me here."

In Dong Qianqiang's opinion, the orange, which looked similar, Dong's father carefully selected the orange for ten minutes, and finally selected a few with better looks and handed them over to the salesperson.

"Take these (oranges) on the way." On the platform, Dong's father handed the fruit bag to Dong Qiangqiang's hand, and said with a serious expression, "It is not easy for you to have the opportunity to go abroad with your education. You must know how to cherish it. Young people must work hard to be worthy of their youth."

Dong Qiang nodded heavily: "Dad, I remember what you said."

"Then I'll leave. I'll call you if I have time." After saying that, Dong's father carried two bags and walked towards the elevator in the distance.

Dong Qiangqiang watched his thin back gradually get into the bustling crowd, and couldn't help but want to shout to his father, "You and Mom must take care of yourself." But when Dong's father turned around suddenly, he shouted at Dong Qiangqiang first: "Qianqiang, remember, don't be in love with your home, stay wherever you are suitable for survival."

Dong Qiangqiang nodded desperately.

Mr. Dong smiled with relief, nodded slightly at him, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

There was almost no one on the train, and even the ticket inspector could not see it.

Looking at the endless darkness outside the window and the flashing lights, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt sad. He didn't know why, but he felt a burst of sadness permeated his heart.

The tears in the corners of his eyes finally flowed silently down his cheeks.
