Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
That's what An Lizhi thought, but her daughter obviously didn't think so.
Half an hour later, Zhan Lingzi came out of Wan Feng's car with a sullen face.
Wan Feng noticed from Zhan Ling's expression that things seemed to be a little troublesome.
"Lingzi! Why do you have that expression?" An Lizhi also noticed that something was wrong and asked anxiously.
"Uncle Wan! Is he mute?"
"What's wrong?"
"All I said in such a long time was three words: Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!"
Wan Feng burst out laughing. These three words vividly brought Wen Zhongguo's image to life on paper.
"I was just discussing this with your mom. He's a bit of a taciturn person, but he's interested in you. Really interested. I asked this morning if I could bring someone who's not interested in you!"
"Really?" A smile appeared on Zhan Ling's face.
Of course she knew Wan Feng's driver, but she didn't expect that he was so quiet.
"Just now your mother was saying that Wan Feng's men are all quiet people. Uncle Wan agrees with this. They are all capable and practical people who don't like to talk. People like them are down-to-earth and can live a good life."
"But how boring will life be in the future?"
"If a man doesn't take the initiative, why don't you take the initiative? For example, if he doesn't like to talk, you talk. If he doesn't ask you to go to the movies, you ask him to go to the movies. If he doesn't hold your hand, you hold his hand. If he doesn't kiss you, you..."
Wan Feng quickly braked. How could he not control his words?
Zhan Lingzi blushed: "Uncle! It would be great if he could be half as eloquent as you!"
