The owner of this restaurant must be a fan of Teresa Teng. From the time we entered until now, the music played by Teresa Teng has been playing.
Don't tell me, it sounds pretty good.
What surprised me even more was that when we were almost done eating, An Lan started humming softly to the tune of a song.
"The girl in Alishan is as beautiful as water, and the boy in Alishan is as strong as a mountain. The mountains are green and the streams are blue. The girl and the boy will never be separated. The green water surrounds the green mountains."
She was humming, singing very quietly, but I could still hear it.
This is so unbelievable to me, let alone being in a place with people, even when she and I were alone before, it was extremely difficult for her to sing.
I was really shocked and just looked at her stupidly.
Shu Zhi also heard it, and he immediately praised: "Auntie, you sing so beautifully."
An Lan smiled and said: "Auntie can't sing as well as this uncle, so you let this uncle sing."
I looked at An Lan awkwardly and said, "What are you doing? I can't sing, so don't talk nonsense."
An Lan chuckled and said to the brothers Shu Ya and Shu Zhi: "Look, uncle is still shy."
Is this really An Lan? What happened to her?
Shu Zhi and Shuya actually started to encourage me to sing. I said embarrassedly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I can't sing at all."
"Why are you so shy? I sang just now, so you can sing too." An Lan winked at me again and said.
Brother and sister Shu Zhi and Shuya also chimed in and said, "Uncle, just sing one, we want to hear it."
I looked at An Lan with dull eyes and found that she had really changed and became teasing.
It just so happened that the song was changing in the restaurant, and this song happened to be one I could sing. It was also Teresa Teng's past.
Following the tune, I slowly began to hum: "I want to entrust Baiyun to send you the past. There may be many past events that are worth weaving memories for you. The white clouds come and go in a hurry. You left without saying goodbye to me, leaving me with the past memories like this."
Yesterday"
This song is not a popular song by Teresa Teng, and its popularity is not that high, but I am very impressed by this song.
When I was young, my mother often sang this song in my ears.
I know that my mother is missing my father in heaven. Every time she sings this song, my mother will burst into tears.
Although I don't sing well, I sang this song with my heart. By the time I finished singing, I found that An Lan's eyes were a little red.
She made an excuse and said she wanted to go to the bathroom, but it was unclear what she was going to do.
Shu Ya and Shu Zhi both applauded me and said in unison: "Uncle, you sing beautifully! Why do you say it doesn't sound good?"
I smiled and said, "Probably this is the only song."
At this time, Shu Zhi suddenly asked me: "Uncle, what is your relationship with Aunt An Lan? I feel that your relationship is very unusual!"
I smiled and touched his head and said, "What do you know, a kid?"
"Uncle, I am not young anymore. I will be fifteen years old this year."
"That's still a kid, you're not even an adult yet."
After saying that, I looked towards the bathroom door and saw that An Lan had not come back yet.
I asked them again: "By the way, aren't you two going to school now?"
Both children nodded to me, and Shu Zhi replied: "Yes, but we have to find our father and ask for leave from the teacher."
"So are you in junior high school now?" I asked Shu Zhi.
Shu Zhi nodded and replied: "Yes, I will be in the third grade of junior high school next semester, and my sister is still in elementary school."
"Oh" I was silent for a moment and then asked, "Then if you find your father, will you live with him here or go back to your home?"
Shu Zhi suddenly lowered his head and fell silent, as if he didn't know what to do.
In fact, children of their age really don't know how to decide their own lives. They can only do whatever adults say.
I only hope that after finding their father, their father can accept them.
A few minutes later, An Lan finally came back from the bathroom, her eyes not so red anymore.
She came back with a smile and asked us: "Are you done eating?"
We all nodded, and she said, "Take it and go out for a walk. I've already called a taxi."
"Have you paid?" I asked her.
"Pay it and let's go."
"It's expensive for you to treat me."
"What are you talking about? I'm really sorry, let's have a break!"
I nodded without thinking: "Okay, how much is it, I'll transfer it to you."
An Lan immediately rolled his eyes at me, then took the hands of the two children and left the restaurant ahead of me.
There was a Mercedes-Benz S-Class parked outside the restaurant, and An Lan was getting into the car with her two children.
After I walked over, she opened the passenger door for me and said to me: "You can sit in the passenger seat!"
"Where are we going?"
"What? Are you afraid that I will take you and sell you?"
I smiled, said nothing more, and got into the car calmly.
An Lan was sitting in the back with her two children. She said to the driver: "Go to the Bund."
The night view of Shanghai is famous throughout the country, and it is well-deserved. Everywhere is brilliant and full of money.
The black Mercedes-Benz sedan passed through the streets of Shanghai and soon arrived at the Bund Plaza.
This is also the best place to see the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was windy at night, but there were still many people in the square.
The two children were excited as soon as they arrived at the Bund Square. This was the first time for them to see such a magnificent urban building.
In Shanghai at night, the city's neon lights are like twinkling stars, dazzling and colorful.
The series of colorful lights form different lines, outlining the Jin Mao Tower, the World Financial Center, and the Oriental Pearl Tower.
Especially the light strip on Nanpu Bridge is like a yellow ribbon, connecting the old city and the new city.
Looking at Pudong from a distance, the Oriental Pearl Tower is gorgeous and colorful, like a fairy descending to earth.
Although it was not my first time in Shanghai, it was my first time to watch the Oriental Pearl Tower at night from close range. I was also shocked, it was a shock that hit my heart.
After playing on the Bund for a while, we took the car back to the hotel.
An Lan and I are really on the same floor. On the way back, we originally discussed letting Shu Ya live with An Lan and Shu Zhi with me.
But Shuya didn't want to. She wanted to follow her brother no matter what, so she had no choice but to let the two siblings stay with me.
We are on the same floor, but the rooms are not next to each other, there are several rooms in between.
After returning to the hotel room, I arranged a room for the two siblings, Shu Ya and Shu Zhi.
Originally, I thought that since they are so old, they should sleep separately, but Shuya is very insecure and she must share a room with her brother.
I asked Shu Zhi and found out that they also slept in the same bed at home because there were not many rooms at home.
This can only let them do this. Shuya is not very old, so there is actually no big problem.
After falling asleep, I called Wang Yi.
She answered the phone and asked me: "Why did you call me so late?"
"I went out to eat and then returned to the hotel. I called you as soon as I lay down."
"How did the conversation go?"
"We haven't talked about it yet. We missed the time and made another appointment tomorrow afternoon."
"How did you miss the time? You left so early, was the flight delayed?"
"No, I met two children on the plane and they came to Shanghai to look for me."
Before I finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, An Lan's voice came in: "Chen Feng, please open the door, it's urgent."
