Wen Liyu was lying on her soft big bed when the mobile phone beside the bed suddenly rang.
This bulky and featureless phone was bought for her by her uncle last month.
She originally just wanted a phone similar to her uncle's, but her uncle bought her this.
As a result, Wen Liyu couldn't take the phone with her uncle and had to leave it at home. However, she eventually got the same phone as her uncle.
Fu Wenting explained that this cell phone was a gift from a wealthy foreigner. He asked someone to buy it from abroad, which took a long time, so he bought her the mobile phone first.
"I wonder how much money my uncle has?"
Wen Liyu sighed inwardly as she answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Little sister!"
The voice of Second Brother Wen came from the other end of the phone, with a strong nasal tone in his voice.
"Little sister, do you really want to go to Yun City with your uncle to develop?"
Wen Liyu immediately sat up and asked, "Brother, how did you know?"
She had only just learned about this and hadn't figured out how to tell her family.
After all, even if they were in the same place, her family would come to see her from time to time and ask her to go home for dinner.
Except for her sister, everyone in the family is worried about Wen Liyu.
I have always been worried about her, afraid that she might encounter grievances or difficulties at work.
"My parents said that. I just overheard it." Wen Yufei squatted on the ground in frustration, leaning against the glass window of the convenience store.
"Mom started crying while talking, so I didn't dare to continue listening."
He raised his hand from time to time and wiped his face with his sleeve, "Little sister, are you really going? You can't not go?"
"I'll find you a new job. You should quit your job with your uncle and come back home."
He kept persuading Wen Liyu not to leave, sniffing as he spoke.
Wen Liyu placed her hands on the quilt, her fingers curled up, grabbing the sheets again and again, "Brother..."
"Okay." Brother Wen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Second Brother Wen couldn't help but let out an obvious whimper, and then a burst of tiny sounds came from the microphone.
The microphone was changed.
"Little sister." Wen Yuyang said in a gentle tone, "Will you come home tomorrow? I'll buy you a cake."
"Brother." Wen Liyu's eyes were hot and her nose was red. "I... will go there after get off work tomorrow."
"Okay." Wen Yuyang pushed his second brother away and said, "Don't feel pressured. It's good to follow your uncle to a big city. Big cities have faster development."
"Go out and see the world more often, and you won't be easily deceived in the future."
Brother Wen was not as clingy as the second brother and gave a lot of precautions.
He didn't know what to say next, so he kept repeating "big cities are good".
Wen Liyu pursed her lips, lowered her head and tickled the bed sheet with her fingers.
She did not dislike the fact that her elder brother, who used to be serious and taciturn, had become a chatterbox, and listened to him quietly.
After he stopped talking, he whispered, "I know."
Wen Yuyang seemed to be choked and was silent for a while.
Then a deep sigh came from the microphone, "My little sister has grown up."
"Okay, I won't disturb your rest." Wen Yuyang took a breath, "Go to bed early, and we'll talk about it when we get home tomorrow."
"Okay." Wen Liyu blinked her eyes, blinking away the slight soreness, "Brother, you too, go to bed early."
"Got it." Wen Yuyang was about to hang up the phone, but his second brother Wen snatched it away.
Wen Yufei: "Little sister, you must remember to come back!"
Wen Yuyang pinched his collar and said, "Okay, it's almost time to hang up."
"Wait, me! Beep...beep..."
Wen Liyu sighed, stepped back, and threw herself back into the quilt, "Grow up..."
"I really don't want to grow up."
-
At the entrance of the alley, a black car was parked on the side of the road.
Wen Weiye was wearing work clothes, squatting on the side of the road with a lit cigarette in his mouth.
There were several bags beside his legs, filled with pickled meats and sausages made by his wife, a whole chicken and duck, and various snacks that he would not usually buy.
"Okay, stop smoking." Fu Mei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pushed him. "Go put everything in the car. Xiaoyu is leaving."
"I understand." Wen Weiye responded sullenly, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.
Second Brother Wen and eldest Brother Wen pulled Wen Liyu aside and gave her some instructions.
Although he had mentioned it many times in the past few days, on the day of departure, Brother Wen couldn't help but bring it up again.
"Little sister, you must call us when you get here!" Wen Yufei began to mutter, "Remember the new phone number at home, don't forget it."
"I remember it. I even wrote it on the first page of the notebook." Wen Liyu patted her second brother's shoulder. "Don't worry, brother. My uncle is here to take care of me."
"Oh, my uncle is usually so busy." Wen Yufei was still worried.
In his heart, his little sister is still the little sister who is only as tall as his waist, calls him brother and acts coquettishly all day long.
"Xiaoyu, it's time to go." Fu Wenting stood beside the car, with Wen's father and mother standing next to him.
Wen Liyu quickly responded, "Coming!"
"Let's go, eldest brother, second brother." She turned around and took the sleeves of her two brothers and led them over.
The group met up at the car. Wen Liyu was surrounded by her family. Listening to their different instructions, she felt helpless but comforted.
When they were about to get in the car, Wen Liyu opened the door and paused, "Isn't my sister here yet?"
"...She, she is at work." Fu Mei sighed and helped her daughter tidy up the hair around her ears.
Wen Liyu nodded, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I'm leaving now."
"Okay." The family members nodded in unison, all with the same expression of worry and uneasiness.
Fu Wenting patted Fu Mei's shoulder and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry."
"Yeah, we know." Fu Mei nodded, but she couldn't help but burst into tears.
It was Wen Weiye who stepped forward and said, "Alright, let's go. It will be too late if we go any later."
"Go early and arrive early."
Wen Liyu and Fu Wenting got in the car together. Wen Liyu sat by the window, lowered the window and looked out at her family. "I'm leaving."
"Go ahead." Wen Weiye's face was stern, but his eyes were shining. "Take care of yourself and keep in touch with your family."
"Okay." Wen Liyu stretched out her hand and held hands with her family.
After releasing her hand, the car started slowly and Wen Liyu leaned back to look.
Second brother Wen couldn't help but chase for a few steps, but was stopped by his eldest brother. His mother leaned against his father, and the two of them snuggled up to each other and looked at her.
"Goodbye." Wen Liyu said softly.
The words of farewell ride on the wind and float to the family.
Fu Wenting pulled her to his side, put his arm around her, and let her lean on him. "I'll be back."
"Yeah." Wen Liyu rubbed his chest, which gave her a sense of security. A few tears fell into her shirt and disappeared.
It takes about five hours to drive from Hai City to Yun City.
We stopped at a rest stop for lunch and spent the rest of the time in the car.
As orange clouds appeared on the horizon, the car entered a well-secured residential area and stopped in front of a villa next to a beautiful artificial lake.
