归家

家,人生反反复复的旅途中最美好的目的。

归家
Le Li

小时候,因为工作原因,爸妈只能分开两地居住。我跟着爸爸住在南方,所以每年寒暑假我一定会回到妈妈居住的地方生活一段时间,同样也是我许多亲戚的居住地。大概是因为童年的大部分时光在那里,所以对于那里我十分的有感情,也渐渐地认定了那儿就是我的家乡。我来往频繁,那时候大多都会选择坐火车,所以对于火车站,我也是再熟悉不过。每次我到了火车站,都会莫名的兴奋和激动,因为快要回家了,快要见到家里那么多对我无微不至的亲人了。相反的,妈妈利用每年的黄金周时间来南方看我几天,临走的时候也是在火车站,每到那个时候我就会站在站台上,看着她上火车的背影,然后在火车站里放肆地大哭。因为她走了,一个完整的家的感觉也跟着去了。

时隔多年,我再一次来到火车站,目的地仍然相同。我望着时刻表,穿梭在人来人往的候车厅, 这奔波的场景,这激动人心的时刻,这么多年依旧未变。而每一次的停驻,我更像一位看客,体会着迁徙中人们的苦乐。

一对父子坐在我对面,父亲抱着儿子,开心地说道,“儿子,要坐鸣笛啾啾响的小火车回家咯,谁先挤上车谁就是大将军。”他身旁搁着与迁徙的人群一样多的行李,一样脏的旧报纸,但嘴里却有不一样的“小火车故事”。“哦!我快成为大将军了,当上大将军的滋味一定很棒,对吗?”小男孩拍手称快。父亲笑得很开心,他看了看表,又看看孩子,“乖儿子,饿了吗?吃点东西吧,这样才能饱饱地回家见妈妈!”小男孩很自豪地看着父亲,似乎很雀跃。父亲用他那黝黑粗糙的双手在包中寻找着,好不容易拿出小面包,“来,儿子,”他细心地掰着面包,给儿子喂进口中。小男孩兴奋地大叫道:“我就要回家见到妈妈了,哈哈!”他的笑,扑哧扑哧地,一起一伏,温柔地敲打着我的心。

这时,火车站的工作人员拿着大喇叭喊着:“xx次列车开始检票了。准备进站。”人们一个个手里提着大包小包都站了起来,在推推嚷嚷,摩肩接踵的人群中缓慢地向出口走着,突然,听到前面有人争执了起来,“我十四岁就出来了,从小就是能吃苦的。村子里的人都把我当外村人。没几个人认识我。这台电视带回去给父母看。这个电视家里看看也就够了。”他急了起来,喊道,“我好不容易买的,你们不能把它收了,我知道把它放到哪里……”说着说着,他啜泣起来。顿时,整个队伍安静了下来。站在一旁的工作人员瞬间就不吭声了。在一旁的人们开始吆喝:“让他走吧,回趟家不容易,他也是好心。”“是啊,人家是好心。总可以腾出位置给他放嘛。”“我已经有六七年不回家了,心里一直都挂念着家里人,也不知道他们现在怎么样,身体好不好。”他继续着急地说着,用手擦着情不自禁掉下的几滴眼泪。“真的不能带这么大体积的东西。哎,好吧好吧,你走吧。以后上车不能带那么大的东西了。影响秩序。大家继续往前走。”工作人员喊道。气氛渐渐缓和了起来。于是大家又开始缓慢地前进着。

在外面这么久,终于要回家了。

即使经历了这拥挤无比,空气里漂浮着让人窒息的气味的火车站里的漫长等待,面对满脸尘土的劳累,在火车上,大家有说有笑地说着家乡话,每个人都很高兴,这样的笑声像是一片片灯火,照亮了回家的路。安宁不是只有一个人独处才可以存在,它也属于群体的状态。那种感觉顿时让我心里揉进了一丝温柔,甜甜的,涩涩的,杂带着爱和幸福的味道。

这让我想起,每年春运时刻, 中国几亿人如潮水般大迁徙,为了踏上回家的路,多少人蜷曲在拥挤不堪的火车站里,睡在椅子上,坐在地上吃着方便面,手里提着各式各样大包小包的行李,大部分都是给家人带的东西。许多人买不到票,就买了无座票或站或坐在车厢的地上靠在行李上休息。然而绝大部分人里,并没有被困难所屈服,而是非常开心和兴奋。

生活中总有那些被你司空见惯的,你都不会去在意的幸福,因为在平常甚至平淡的日子里,你并不会去在乎它。然而在特定的那一刻,当打开家门的那瞬间,听到一声“诶,终于平安回来了。”的时候,看到期盼着你太久太久的亲人们望着你那炽热的眼神的时候,你会发现你什么都不想要,只想好好地坐在沙发上陪他们聊聊天,和他们一起吃一顿温暖可口的饭菜。

那一刻,为了那一刻,真的什么都可以放弃。

因为家,就是人生反反复复的旅途中最美好的目的。

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
