How to describe the state of wandering home in one word?

A few days before the Spring Festival, passengers have embarked on a journey home, and suitcases have become the closest "partners" on people's way home. In suitcases of all sizes, there are snacks with Beijing characteristics, Piggy Peggy with children's thoughts, and mysterious gifts carefully selected for family members ... Yesterday, at the train station and terminal, many passengers opened the suitcase to reporters without reservation. The same display, that deep love and concern for relatives infected everyone. The suitcase is just a carrier, which contains not only articles, but also a year's harvest and stories.

My sister's wedding dress in the waiting hall of Beijing West Railway Station

At 9 o'clock yesterday morning, in the waiting hall of Beijing West Railway Station, Li Huawei's family of five arrived here early to wait for the bus. Their upcoming destination is not Chengde, Hebei Province, but Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province, my sister's in-law. "My sister got married on the 27 th of the twelfth lunar month, and our whole family went to participate, and then spent the Spring Festival there with my in-laws." Li Huawei said that they would take the high-speed train for more than six hours to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and then transfer to the train to Yichun.

On this trip, Li Huawei's family took five suitcases. Open one of them, in addition to some clothes and daily necessities, there is a special gift-a beautiful and gorgeous red dragon and phoenix jacket. "This is a Chinese wedding dress for my sister to wear at the wedding." For this wedding dress, Li Huawei began to carefully select it several months ago. Wedding dress is the best blessing for girls to get married. In some places in China, mothers sew wedding dresses for their daughters one year in advance, and sew the deepest love and blessings for their daughters into the wedding dresses. "As a brother, I can personally choose a wedding dress for my sister, which also hides my blessing to her. Wearing this wedding dress means taking on family responsibilities. From then on, the husband and wife took Qi Mei's case and respected each other. "

Li Huawei's occupation is wedding planning. In 2008, I came to Beijing alone to work hard, worked as a property manager and supervisor, and started to engage in the wedding industry on 20 1 1. "In the past eight years, I have made wedding planning for more than 400 couples and witnessed their happiness. Now, I want to witness my sister's happiness. I am more excited than anyone. " Li Huawei is five years older than his sister and has loved her very much since childhood. As soon as his sister got married, he didn't sleep a wink for several nights and made a detailed plan: when to go to Beijing to meet his parents, when to leave for Jiangxi, and whether to buy a train ticket ... Not only that, he also learned about the differences in wedding customs between the north and the south in advance and prepared a long speech.

In Li Huawei's words, there are not only thanks to her in-laws and family, but also wishes for a better married life for her sister and brother-in-law. Another paragraph reads: "As the old saying goes,' One generation is dear, the second generation is shallow, and the third generation is forgotten.' Sister, you are far away from Jiangxi. I don't want to move again when it comes to our children and grandchildren. No matter how busy you are, you should meet once a month, so that your family can continue. "

Onions and hairtail in Beijing South Railway Station

Yesterday at 2: 50 pm, the G35 1 train from Beijing Nankai to Hefei South will leave in 40 minutes. In the waiting area, Hua stood up and took the thermos cup from her husband to get the last cup of hot water before boarding the plane. The husband looked up and noticed the check-in time on the screen, then relaxed his eyes and focused on his mobile phone. Among the many luggage of the couple, the most attractive thing is the touch of green in their luggage.

"Does anyone really bring green onions home?" Passing by the old couple, pedestrians will involuntarily stretch their eyes for a while, then look up at the host sitting on the side and then walk away. They don't know that such a scene is a detail in the retirement life of this ordinary couple. Unlike those who go home with big bags and small bags, their backpacks contain foods that are afraid of spoilage in Beijing, such as shallots, ginger, bitter chrysanthemum, coriander, steamed hairtail, fruits and so on.

Upon inquiry, I learned that the old couple were from Anhui and went to Beijing to look after their son six years ago. Because there is a 95-year-old mother in Anhui, and they are also a member of Spring Festival travel rush Rob People's Army. For six years, I have been living a "migratory bird" life between Beijing and Anhui. In order not to disturb their son's family, the old couple rented a house of more than 60 square meters in the same community, usually helping to pick up their grandchildren and cooking four dishes and one soup for dinner every day. Because of the proximity, my son's family often eats first and then goes back to his hometown, saving a lot of time and energy.

Floriculture Fen, who just came back from hot water, learned the reporter's purpose, enthusiastically opened the bag and counted the things she took home. A bag of onions has soil at the root. "This is the onion planted on my balcony. If you don't eat, you will get old. Just take it home together. " From the description of Floriculture Fen, we can know that this old man with the name of "bringing his own flowers" has a "brilliant fragrance" on the window sill at home.

After counting a bag of "green food", Hua told the story of curtains hanging outside the 20-inch suitcase. "This is specially brought home to jiaozi, but not in the south." It turns out that Floriculture Fen's husband 17 years old came to the north to be a soldier, and stayed for 30 years, and he has already formed the habit of wrapping jiaozi for the New Year. Speaking of this reporter, I just noticed that this majestic old gentleman was wearing a light green uniform shirt, army green pants and a pair of army hook shoes under his black coat. "Children and grandchildren around their knees" and "four generations under one roof" are the family happiness of China, a traditional family. Until the time of checking in, the old couple's faces were still full of smiles, and the luggage at home was heavy, just like their mood.

Wife's camp bed in Beijing Railway Station Square

Yesterday afternoon, Beijing Railway Station Square, the sunshine was warm and oblique. Li Yongchuan, 53, set up a camp bed in the most sunny place, and his wife Sun was lying on the camp bed wrapped in a thick down jacket. The couple bought the train tickets at 1 in the morning, and there are still 12 hours before the departure.

"Why don't you lie down for a while? You are exhausted these days. " In order to avoid direct sunlight in her eyes, Sun Yuxia covered her face tightly with a down jacket hat. She tried to lean sideways to make more room for Li Yongchuan.

"My daughter-in-law had retinal surgery last July. This time she came to Beijing for a review, and the second was to get some medicine. " Both Li Yongchuan and Sun are from Shangqiu, Henan Province, where they work for a living. Last July, my wife went to the hospital to find out cataracts and retinopathy, because she always felt that things were blurred. When his hometown could not be cured, Li Yongchuan took his wife thousands of miles to seek medical treatment and came to Beijing Tongren Hospital. During the treatment, Sun had two operations. During hospitalization, in order to take better care of her, Li Yongchuan bought a camp bed and rested at his wife's bedside at night. In the following six months, he and his wife traveled back and forth between Henan and Beijing many times to check and take medicine.
