Mrs. Lu Xi Jing, for so many years, no matter whether she was in her old house or a nursing home, she never wanted anyone to be with her outside of three meals a day.
After moving to the villa area, every day after taking a nap, she would carry a small basket and a small hoe and go to the small vegetable garden in the backyard to look through her vegetables, talking about what Chuanchuan and Xiaowan were waiting for her to come back.
Give them something to eat.
She would come back around five o'clock in the evening on weekdays, but today there was no one there, so Mr. Lu couldn't help but go out.
As soon as I walked out the back door, I saw my wife sitting under a tree in the distance, wiping tears.
"Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi?"
In a hurry, there was wind at his feet as he walked. Mr. Lu hurriedly walked to his wife, carefully looked at her expression and said, "What's wrong?"
"I……"
Mrs. Lu burst into tears, "I found Ah Sheng!"
He straightened up and looked left and right, but there was no trace of anyone in all directions. When Mr. Lu looked back, he couldn't help but feel a little pinched in his heart.
The younger son and that child will probably become a nuisance to my wife!
"well!"
Mr. Lu nodded, picked up her little basket, helped her up and walked back, "What did you all say?"
"Last time he wrote his phone number on my hand, but I lost it! This time, I gave him our home phone number. Ah Sheng is smart and will definitely not forget it!"
"He said that my sister went to participate in the competition, and he followed..."
A childish voice rang in my ears, "I came as a guest with my parents."
Madam Lu paused in her steps and looked back at Mr. Lu, "Why does our Asheng call other people mom and dad?...Old man, Asheng is not lost, he doesn't recognize us...it's all..."
My fault, I..."
"Xiu Yi!"
Seeing that my wife was starting to get confused again, her originally peaceful eyes were now full of panic and sadness, and she was going to get sick again if she continued like this.
Mr. Lu shouted her name quickly while holding her arm tightly, "Xiyi, Ah Sheng will not abandon us. You gave birth to him and we raised him together, he will not abandon us."
"No, no...he won't want us."
Mrs. Lu murmured to herself, "A Sheng is a good boy, he is the most filial."
Looking behind him and then at his wife, who was still a little confused, Mr. Lu's brows were so furrowed that he could kill a mosquito.
When she was in Boya Nursing Home, she talked about Ah Sheng every day.
But Changchuan checked everything inside and outside, not to mention the nursing home, even the inpatient department, and there was no child named A Sheng at all.
Also, it’s that so-called phone number.
As soon as she mentioned it, her wife, who had always been gentle and calm, turned red with anger. She confirmed that the number of Ah Sheng that she had written down on her palm was erased by Qin Wanyi.
But Qin Wanyi just said that there was no phone number.
And today...
Looking back, there was no one in or outside the woods.
For a moment, Mr. Lu couldn't tell whether there really was such a child named Asheng, or whether his wife's illness had become serious again.
After entering the villa, Mrs. Lu went back to the bedroom and washed her face.
After dinner, she clutched her beloved pocket watch and sat upright in front of the phone.
"Asheng said, he will call me after finishing his homework at seven o'clock."
Mrs. Lu muttered, raised her eyes and waved to Mr. Lu, "Old man, come quickly, you will hear Asheng's voice soon!"
He looked up at the clock and saw that there was still an hour until seven o'clock.
Afraid of the phone ringing.
I'm even more afraid that the phone won't ring.
Mr. Lu responded, feeling more uncomfortable than ever before.
The seconds tick and the minute hand slows.
When the hour hand pointed to seven, the phone was still silent.
Seeing that his wife's face was stained with disappointment, Mr. Lu hadn't even said a word of comfort yet.
