Since her mother refused to go out, Jiang Shuyin contacted Minister Hu's secretary: "Hello, I'd like to ask, how do we collect the mobile phone in Anshi? And when can we expect to receive it?"
The secretary moved the satellite phone aside and glanced at it.
Ms. Jiang's call was quite unexpected, as she rarely contacts them proactively.
Considering her capabilities, the secretary did not give a perfunctory answer: "The resources in Anshi are uniformly allocated by the Southern Base. Our population is dense, so it is unrealistic to transport a batch here. However, the families of those with superpowers have priority, and it will take about 7 working days."
Jiang Shuyin could only wait for the government to allocate the new phone. During this time at home, she first taught her mother how to use the new phone.
Zheng Lanxiang watched for a while: "This is quite simple. The system does everything, which is much more convenient than before. Can we chat with it?"
Jiang Shuyin sighed and said, "You should be able to chat, but will you be able to have a meaningful conversation?"
Zheng Lanxiang held her phone and said, "Why not? As long as there's someone at home to talk to when you go out, that's fine."
Jiang Shuyin's heart was suddenly gripped.
"mom."
"Um?"
"How about... I go out with you? It's so boring staying at home all the time."
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but then he changed his mind and said something else entirely.
She wanted her mother to stay at home with her—a selfish and stubborn idea.
Zheng Lanxiang laughed loudly: "You just wanted to go out and have fun, didn't you? Tian He came looking for you several times, but you weren't home, and now you're not coming at all."
When Tian He was mentioned, Jiang Shuyin seemed to suddenly remember that there was such a person, even though the two used to be very good friends.
"I wonder what she's doing now?"
Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Zheng Lanxiang suggested, "Why don't we go take a look at the old residential area? Tian He's family used to live next to us. You two used to go to and from school together every day, practically inseparable. But since you moved here, you've become less and less close."
Like her daughter, Zheng Lanxiang also has many friends there.
Since we've come this far, tomorrow's plan is to go back to the old housing area for a look.
Heimei, who was sitting next to me watching TV, suddenly raised her hand: "Mom, Grandma, shall we go too?"
Zheng Lanxiang smiled and hugged Heimei: "Do you want to go? If you want to go, then go. Let's go see where we used to live. I wonder if the people Grandma knew have moved away."
Heimei looked up at her grandmother and said, "Heimei wants to go."
Zheng Lanxiang affirmed, "Then we'll go together, with Heimei, Ace, and Shui Ning."
Black Plum chimed in, "And Mom too!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Zheng Lanxiang smiled as she looked at her daughter, her eyes seeming to say, 'Look how well-behaved the child is.'
Jiang Shuyin smiled and responded with her eyes, "Of course, whatever she wants."
The next day, when Jiang Shuyin woke up, the children in the bed were gone.
Rub your eyes and take another look.
They've really disappeared.
Without even putting on his shoes, he rushed to the living room to look, but he couldn't find it.
Usually at this time, Mom would be watching TV on the sofa.
That's really strange.
"Ace can dress himself now, that's great."
"Wait a minute, Meimei, Grandma will pull up Ningning's pants and then zip up yours."
The sound was coming from her mother's bedroom, and Jiang Shu let out a long sigh of relief.
He knocked on the door and went in, peeking out and saying, "Why didn't you call me? I opened my eyes and didn't see anyone, it gave me a fright."
Zheng Lanxiang was still busy dressing the children: "I haven't changed my clothes yet. I'll call you when we're all ready. The children all said you stayed up late again last night."
Jiang Shuyin glanced at all the children and immediately knew who had complained.
Heimei quickly lowered her head and checked her fingers.
What a terrible child!
Jiang Shu was aroused and had no intention of lying down anymore.
I just grabbed a random set of clothes and put them on: "I'd better head out early and see if that rice noodle shop over there is still open. I was so hungry for it yesterday that I couldn't sleep last night."
Zheng Lanxiang laughed at her: "You glutton! Rice noodles have to be fresh rice noodles, and the broth has to be simmered overnight to make the soup base. Where can you find that kind of equipment nowadays?"
Jiang Shuyin didn't believe it and took a detour to see for herself.
The noodle shop was indeed closed, with a sign hanging above it that read "Out of Stock and Unable to Operate."
"Sigh." As Jiang Shuyin walked along, she saw a shop selling steamed buns.
Two task points were used to buy two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes.
Park the car downstairs at the house I used to live in.
The old residential area is just a cluster of family dormitories. The factory closed down many years ago, and the dormitories have no property management. The walls are dark and grimy.
The trees grew so lush that they blocked out the sun from the building, so even when the sun was at its strongest, the lights inside the building had to be turned on.
Jiang Jianli, who had just come to the city to make a living, found a temporary job and rented a place to live here.
To learn the skills, I endured three years of hardship, and my family struggled financially. Later, I found a new job with good pay, and things finally got easier.
Having endured hardship and learned not to squander money, they accumulated enough funds to buy their own house eight years later.
The elderly in the residential area also entertain themselves by raising birds in the trees and playing chess in the shade.
Jiang Shuyin parked her car here, and the elderly people looked at her several times, but no one recognized her.
As girls grow up, they change a lot and become more and more beautiful. Back then, Jiang Shuyin was malnourished and thin. Apart from the Li family across the street, no one paid attention to her.
When Zheng Lanxiang got off the bus, she stared at the older women.
"Lanxiang?"
"Xiurong, Hongfang, Meili?"
Zheng Lanxiang ran over in small steps, and the four sisters carefully looked each other over.
"Lanxiang, you're living such a comfortable life, even your demeanor has changed. Look at you."
"That's right, these clothes are so bright and make you look like a flower."
