Dr. Feng Shen stared at the string of phone numbers and sat there for more than four hours. He didn't come back to his senses until the clock hanging on the wall sounded the zero o'clock sound.
He rubbed his dry eyes, looked at the clock on the wall, and then his eyes fell on the phone number in his hand.
He had obviously been looking forward to this moment in his dreams, searching for her whereabouts in his dreams, but at this moment, when there was real news about her, he flinched.
Became cowardly.
He didn't know what he was afraid of.
Maybe, I don’t know how to face her, or maybe I’m afraid that the person on the other end of the phone is not her!
In this way, Divine Doctor Feng kept the same posture, sitting on the bamboo chair in a daze for a while. Finally, he raised his hand and wiped his face, mustered up great courage, picked up the mobile phone, and slowly and reverently
Pressed the number.
The call was dialed.
The moment he dialed the call, he clenched his fingers nervously and tried to hang up in a panic, but the call was already picked up.
"Hi..." came an elegant female voice.
Doctor Feng was helpless as he held his elder brother in his hands and wanted to speak, but when he heard the other person's language, his words were stuck in his throat.
"whoisthat?"
the woman asked.
Doctor Feng looked awkward and couldn't understand her words, so he could only continue to remain silent.
He couldn't tell whether this female voice had anything to do with the person he was looking for.
Too much time had passed, and he knew very well that her voice was no longer as clear and beautiful as a lark when she was a teenager.
Because of the silence on the other end of the phone, the other party seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so he switched to Chinese and cautiously asked, "Who...who are you?"
As soon as the woman spoke Chinese, Doctor Feng's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up.
"Excuse me, is this call coming from the mainland?"
The woman asked again eagerly.
The other party spoke several sentences in Chinese one after another, and Doctor Feng's tense expression fluctuated again.
"Xiaobai, is it you..."
noob………
When Doctor Feng heard the name Xiaobai, the hand holding the phone shook uncontrollably, and the big brother fell from his hand and fell to the ground with a bang.
The phone was dropped and disconnected.
He sat on the chair, his mind was filled with the name just now, and his thoughts couldn't help but fall into some distant memories.
"Xiao Bai, I'll give you this sweet potato to eat. I secretly left it for you."
"Xiao Bai, my father is angry again. Can you memorize all the names of medicines?"
As the quiet smiling face of a young girl wearing embroidered shoes and long braids appeared in his mind, Doctor Feng sat up from his chair with excitement, his face was excited and his body was trembling.
He couldn't believe that in his lifetime, someone would still call him Xiaobai.
He couldn't believe that he really found her.
After a few minutes, his mood gradually calmed down. Looking at the big brother that had fallen to the ground, he bent down and picked it up.
His heart was turbulent, and he held the phone with trembling hands, not having the courage to dial a second time.
Just when he was in a complicated mood, the phone rang.
His intuition told him that maybe this call was from her.
He paused for a long time and didn't have the courage to pick up the phone until the phone hung up automatically.
The person on the other end went to all the trouble and called a second time after failing to get through the first time. Then the phone rang again.
Doctor Feng shakily pressed the button.
When the call was connected, he still didn't speak, and the person on the other end of the phone was also silent.
Just like that, after about a minute, the other party finally broke the silence.
The voice was the same as before, full of hope and testing, "Excuse me, is this call from China?"
He spoke mechanically, "Yes..."
The other party seemed to have adjusted his mood, tried to be restrained in his tone, and asked elegantly, "I am Nie Jiu'er, who are you?"
"Jiu'er..." Doctor Feng murmured with dull eyes.
"Jiu'er, are you really Jiu'er?"
"Are you a noob?"
The other party raised his tone excitedly.
Doctor Feng's voice trembled and he answered loudly and firmly, "Yes, I am! Jiu'er, I am Xiaobai!"
The moment he called out, there seemed to be some clanging sound coming from the other end of the phone...
After a long time, the words of a woman crying came,
"Xiao Bai, I didn't expect that you are still alive. I can't believe it. Yesterday, a Chinese said that a man named Bai Zhifeng in China was looking for me. I thought he was lying to me. I really can't believe it...
"
"Jiu'er, I went through so much trouble looking for you, and I didn't expect you to still be alive."
Doctor Feng also choked up.
The woman cried and asked, "Xiaobai, how have you been all these years?"
"I'm not okay, I'm not okay at all. I've been looking for you for 45 years. I can't even close my eyes without getting any news from you in this life."
Doctor Feng's face was already filled with tears. At this moment, all his thoughts and grievances came out with tears.
The woman on the other end of the phone also burst into tears, "I'm looking for you too, but I'm in a foreign country and have lost all contact with the country, so I have nowhere to turn."
Doctor Feng was heartbroken when he heard the woman crying on the phone. He wiped his face and said softly, "Don't cry, Jiu'er, don't cry. I don't want to hear you cry."
"I'm happy!"
Two old men were talking to each other over the phone line at dusk, telling each other about their longing for more than forty years. It was not until the voice of a young man speaking a foreign language rang out from the woman's end that she ended the call in a panic.
…………
Gao Zheng and Tang Jingyue will hold their engagement ceremony in one month, and the Gao family has already started preparing the engagement supplies in full swing.
At the end of the year, Gao Zheng was busy with work and had no time to accompany Tang Jingyue to buy engagement items. Mrs. Gao took Tang Jingyue to the department store for shopping.
In the afternoon, Mr. Gao watched the two women come in with large and small bags. He really couldn't understand the women's brain circuits. Isn't it good to stay at home in the cold weather?
I have to go shopping today.
"Oh, we're freezing to death."
Mrs. Gao complained as she entered the door.
Mr. Gao, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say it wasn't cold when you left?"
"Old man, stop making sarcastic remarks here. Such a big happy event is not positive at all!"
Mr. Gao glanced at Tang Jingyue who was following his old lady, and fearing that his daughter-in-law might misunderstand him, he hurriedly said, "Why am I not being active?
I have prepared the list of guests to be invited."
However, at Gao Zheng's request, only a few highly respected elders in the compound and a few direct relatives were invited.
He is more active than anyone else when it comes to his son marrying a wife, but with his old arms and legs, he really can't go shopping with them.
He also couldn't understand that it was hard enough for his wife to be able to walk around for so long on her little feet.
