Chapter 74 Missing Home
Just when Chen Long hung up the call to Lu Tingting and was thinking about the problem like a fever, his cell phone rang again...
How could this Lu Tingting be so persistent with him? Chen Long thought about it and connected the phone again, thinking that the other party was Lu Tingting. Just as he was about to lecture her, a man's voice came from the phone:
"Brother, I am Chen Gang."
Chen Long immediately recognized the voice of his younger brother Chen Gang. So he asked curiously: "Chen Gang, how do you know my phone number? What's wrong with calling me?"
"Fifth sister told me just now on the phone." Chen Gang answered him, "Fifth sister said that you are still working in the same company as her. Tell me that you just joined there as a security guard. Brother, have you entered the province?
It's been two months since you came to the city, why didn't you tell me? Fifth sister also said that you were hit on the head while catching a thief. Is the injury serious? Are you feeling better now? I felt so bad when I heard that."
"Chen Gang, just read your book and do whatever you have to do. My injury is no longer serious. If it's serious, it's not an injury! Don't worry about me.
"
"Brother, if this is really the case, then I'll be relieved, otherwise I would still want to rush over to visit you."
"No, you must not come here! It has only been two months since I came to the provincial capital to look for a job, which is not a long time. However, I encountered some minor troubles and my job search was not very smooth, so I
I don’t want to alarm you, so I’m telling you and Fifth Sister because I’m afraid it will affect your studies.”
"Well. Brother, Wu Mei and I have now started to work as internships after graduation, and we have also begun to earn internship wages. Although it is not very high, it is much more than earning a work-study program. Therefore, Wu Mei and I have received our study and living expenses.
Complete solution, you don’t have to give us money anymore and worry about our study expenses. Also, let me tell you, because I majored in civil engineering, I am now working in a real estate development company. If everything goes well,
After the internship is over and I graduate, it is a matter of course that I can stay and work in this company and become a regular employee of this company.”
Chen Long was very happy after hearing what his younger brother said. After many years of nurturing his younger brothers and sisters, he finally saw the harvest today. Although his eldest sister and he failed to become successful in their studies, the younger brothers and sisters who strived for success finally helped him.
In order to achieve the university dream of getting out of the poor mountain village and becoming a useful talent for the country...
"Well, very good, very good!" Chen Long sighed repeatedly, "Then continue to work hard to do a good job in the internship. You must successfully get your diploma and develop according to your ideal work and life. As a brother
I can't help you much. I am far inferior to you in cultural knowledge and so on. You should know many things better than me, so I don't have to preach to you. From now on, your life path will be up to you...
…”
"Well, brother, I understand. But brother, going to a provincial town to find a job is not like our small county town. There are many people here, and I just hope you can be more careful. Also, the eldest sister asked me several times
When I asked if she had seen you, she said that her phone number was blocked and she could not contact you. So, if it is convenient for you, it is best to call the eldest sister and tell her your current situation, so as not to worry about you. "
Chen Gang's words pierced his heart like a sharp knife. For those who are busy with things to do, two months may pass in a flash. But for those who are waiting and suffering, and the children,
Every day seems like a year. These two months are really a long time! As for Chen Long, he has not contacted his family since the day he stepped out of the house. To his family, he is as lost as a stone sinking into the sea.
News... After all, at home, a mother in a wheelchair and two little children who are not very sensible are left to the care of the eldest sister who is already married and has her own children and family. As the backbone of the family, he is full of hope.
Hope and Jiren went to the provincial town to find work and earn money, but they didn't make any money and owed huge debts. They didn't even call home to say hello... thinking about the children and mother who were full of joy for him when he went out.
The look of expectation and hope made his heart pierce with pain!
"Chen Gang, I understand. I'll call the elder sister back as soon as I hang up the phone."
Chen Long responded very ashamedly.
"Brother, I actually think so. I hope that your career in the provincial capital can be stabilized as soon as possible, and then I can see if you can find a school for your children to study near where you work and live. Tingting and Binbin have already
They are not young anymore, they should go to school. I think if possible, it is best to bring them to the provincial capital, so that they can follow you and you can take care of them personally. As for mother, wait for me and my fifth sister
After she graduates from the internship and has a formal job and a place to live, I also hope to bring her to the provincial capital so that we can take care of her together and take her to a good hospital for treatment."
Chen Gang's words all spoke to his heart. Chen Long didn't know how many times he had thought about the solutions to these problems. However, it was all because he had not found a good and stable job and had a certain amount of money saved...
...and now, he is like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to protect himself! He has long had many rich ideas, but the reality is extremely cruel...
"I understand, Chen Gang. I've had this idea for a long time, but I'd better wait until my work situation is better and more stable. Just go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I'm going to hang up."
After Chen Long finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He grabbed the phone tightly, looked up at the roof and thought for a while, then dialed the eldest sister's number.
The other party's phone only rang once and was answered:
"Hey, who is it?"
The most friendly and familiar voice of the eldest sister immediately came over the phone.
"..."
Hearing the voices of his relatives who were thinking about him day and night, Chen Long suddenly felt sad and uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to call his eldest sister affectionately, but his words were choked in his throat.
"Hey...who is it? Talk, who is calling? Why aren't you talking? If you don't talk, I'm going to hang up!"
The eldest sister asked eagerly on the other end of the phone.
"...It's me, sister. It's me, Chen Long..."
Chen Long finally controlled his excitement and said hello to the eldest sister.
Hearing Chen Long's voice, the eldest sister was stunned, and then complained excitedly:
"Chen Long, what's going on? It's been so long since I've been in the provincial capital. Why don't you call home? Besides, I haven't been able to get through your phone number. I couldn't find you when I tried to find you..."
"Sister, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I lost my phone right after I entered the provincial capital. After that... some bad things happened, and it was not easy to find a job. So, I put it off until now...
...just called you back. How is your mother now? Is there no big problem? Also, Tingting and Binbin were obedient and didn’t bother you, right?"
"Both children are fine, and there's nothing wrong with the mother. She's still the same. It's just you, what's going on? You've been in the city for so long, why can't you bear to even call me back to say hello! I know.
It’s not easy for you to find a job in the city and make money, but you don’t have to give money back before you can make a phone call. Do you know, my two children ask me every day, when will dad come back, what will he buy for them, and when will he come back?
Take them to play in the provincial capital... And mom, every time I feed her, she wants to ask me. Although she can’t explain clearly, I can tell that she actually wants to ask you where to go.
Have you found a job in the city? Is everything going well..."
The eldest sister's words made Chen Long feel infinite sadness and bitterness in his heart, and his eyes became moist.
"Sister, you can tell mom that I have found a job now. I am working as a security guard in a large pharmaceutical group company. I have room and board in this company. Because it was not very smooth to find a job before, I have not been able to earn much.
The money is good this time, I have a job, and I will send it back to you when the wages are paid."
"Chen Long, my family is not in a hurry to need you to send money. I can understand that it is not easy for you to find a job outside to make money. If you don't find a job or earn money, you first need food, housing, and transportation for various uses. If you don't have
If you encounter any difficulties with money, you must tell me. I will try my best to find a way to help you."
"Sister, I understand. I'm sorry that I haven't called back to greet you during this period. Please forgive me, sister, and please apologize to my mother on my behalf."
"Chen Long, please stop saying that. It would be great if you could call back now. I know your current situation and I feel relieved. I hope you can call back more often if you are free and convenient in the future, okay?
?”
"Well, sister, I will know what to do in the future, please don't worry. It's just that you have to work hard to take care of the mother and children at home. Oh, by the way, I have already met Wu Mei, and she is currently working as an intern.
She and I are in the same company. From now on, she and I can see each other often and we can take care of anything. Also, Brother Chen Gang also had a phone call with me just now to communicate with each other and understand the situation. If possible,
I will arrange a time for him to come to my place, and the three of us, brother and sister, will have a meal together."
"That's great. I'm very happy to hear what you said. I will tell my mother about your situation. Mom will be very happy after hearing this. In fact, Chen Gang and Wu Mei often call me to greet me.
Tell me about their study and work. You are the only one who has been unable to contact me, so it makes me very worried and anxious..."
"Okay, sister, this won't happen again in the future. If there's nothing wrong, I'll hang up the phone."
After Chen Long finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone when he heard Tingting and Binbin crying and wanting to answer the phone. It seemed that the two children already knew that the call was from their father, so they couldn't wait
Noisily wanting to talk to dad on the phone.
So Chen Long didn't hang up the phone and said loudly: "Sister, please answer the phone to the two children and let me talk to them."
"OK."
The eldest sister responded and carefully handed the phone to her eldest daughter Tingting.
"Dad, dad..."
The child's crisp screams immediately came from the phone, especially Binbin who was so anxious that he didn't get the phone and kept shouting next to him.
The child's friendly shouts were like a warm current flowing straight into his heart as a father. Chen Long felt relaxed and relaxed all over. He wished he could be by his child's side right now, holding both children tightly in his arms.
Give them the warmest and safest father's love in the world! Thinking about leaving the children in the past two months, leaving the children without the care and protection of their father, and letting them look forward to it day and night... I feel that I am really not a competent father.
"Tingting, are you good at home? Have you listened to your aunt and helped take care of your grandma and younger brother?"
After hearing her father's kind question, the sensible Tingting suddenly shed tears from her big watery eyes. She suppressed her tears and answered her father: "Dad, I listened to my aunt. My aunt and I took care of my grandma and her daughter."
My brother. Dad, when will you come back? We all miss you so much, why didn’t you call back for so long..."
Listening to such a sensible daughter speaking like this, Chen Long felt very ashamed and uncomfortable, and quickly comforted her and said: "Tingting, because dad has been very busy with work, he couldn't call you in time. Dad is sorry for you. From now on.
Dad will call you often to talk to you. When Dad is not busy, I will arrange my work and come home to take you and your brother to play, okay..."
Binbin, who was standing next to Tingting, grabbed the phone in a hurry, put it close to his ear like an adult and said loudly: "Dad, Dad, come back quickly, come back quickly! Buy me some fun toys."
Come back! Come back and take me and my sister to your place. I will follow you every day..."
"Oh, okay, Binbin is very well-behaved and sensible..."
Chen Long listened to the child's words and promised to comfort him.
Next, the two children took turns grabbing the mobile phones and talked to Chen Long over and over for a long time...
Finally, with the child's reluctance, Chen Long hung up the phone. He carefully checked the call time, which took more than a hundred minutes!
It has been two months. Although he has not brought anything back to his family, today he finally contacted them one by one on the phone to understand the situation. At this moment, he felt extremely relaxed. He was confident about the future of his life.
Open, suddenly enlightened, and at the same time full of unlimited sense of responsibility.
"Ding ding..."
Suddenly, the phone beeped several times, and the screen indicated a low-battery status, ready to shut down. So Chen Long found the charger, and as soon as he plugged it in to charge, the phone suddenly rang again!
Chen Long quickly answered the call, and suddenly Lu Tingting's very angry complaint came from the phone:
"Chen Long, what's wrong with you? I've been calling you all night, and my phone has been busy with calls! Are you talking on the phone with some beautiful woman, and have been in love for several hours?"
"No, I was on the phone with my family just now." Chen Long quickly explained to her.
"Chen Long, just lie to me, no one will believe your words!" Lu Tingting denied angrily, "I tell you, you, Chen Long, only belong to me, and no other woman will be allowed to approach you in the future..."
