Although she didn't know if Old Chen had used it, she never forgot the man who risked his life to find Nini.
Because she didn't have the authority, she didn't know if Lao Chen had used the money in the account. But she still deposited money into it on time without fail.
More than forty years later, she received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello."
Zhou Chunhua is now in her eighties, and her hand holding the phone always trembles uncontrollably.
My voice has also lost the warmth it had in my youth.
From the other end came a deep, adult male voice: "Aunt Zhou, hello, I'm Chen Cheng."
Upon hearing the name Chen Cheng, Zhou Chunhua nearly dropped her phone.
She trembled with excitement: "You... tell me... who are you?"
Is it him?
"I am Chen Cheng."
"Hey! Chen Cheng! How's your dad? Is he alright?" In my memory, Old Chen should be ninety years old this year.
Finally, she received news from Lao Chen.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
She thought the call had dropped, so she kept holding the phone up to her eyes and looking at it over and over again.
Only after confirming that the call was still ongoing did he put it to his ear again and call out Chen Cheng's name.
After a long pause, Chen Cheng spoke again: "Aunt Zhou, thank you for your financial help to my father and me over the past twenty years. I called today to tell you that my father has passed away. From now on..."
"Gone? Where did she go?" Zhou Chunhua hurriedly interrupted.
"He... passed away."
Chen Cheng's voice was very soft, but she could hear it clearly.
A tear unknowingly slid down her cheek and landed on her floral dress, feeling cool and refreshing.
"If it's convenient for you, I would like to beg you to come and see him one last time. When my father passed away, he kept saying that the thing he regretted most in his life was missing out on you."
"I think... if you could come and see him one last time, to see him off on his final journey, it would fulfill his dying wish." Chen Cheng's voice trailed off.
Okay. Tell me the address.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the address she had personally chosen.
Haicheng.
She remembered that Haicheng was right next to Jiangshi.
It turns out he had never gone far; just like when he was young, he had always stayed by her side.
She went to Old Chen's funeral; the whole family went together.
With the advancement of technology, Chen Cheng, who originally had missing limbs, now uses mechanical prosthetics.
Overall, they look just like real hands and feet.
Zhou Chunhua opened her arms and gave Chen Cheng a big hug.
The child seems to be recovering well mentally.
Chen Cheng helped her across, and she finally saw Old Chen's peaceful face. She smiled.
Holding Old Chen's hand, she smiled and said, "Old Chen, I'm here to see you."
