At night, Luan Feng snuggled in Wan Feng's arms.
"Comrade Xiao Wan, I'll be 22 this year. If you don't marry me, you'll miss out on having a son and even a grandson."
Wan Feng has a headache.
"Why are you here again? Didn't we agree last year that we'd get married when you were 25? If you don't start a career now and build some wealth, how will you enjoy life when you're old?"
Luan Feng counted on her fingers and said, "There are still three years until I turn twenty-five!" Her tone was full of resentment.
"When we get old, we'll buy a car and travel around the country. What do you think?" Wan Feng didn't want to dwell on this topic. The more he talked, the more trouble he would cause.
"That won't work! If we travel all over the country, what will happen to our son?"
What kind of brain is this?
"How do you know you can give birth to a son? What if you give birth to a daughter?"
"That's impossible. Our family has such a big business, how can we survive without a son? We must have a son."
This mysterious self-confidence, could it be that her ancestors came from the third brother's family?
"Okay, even if you give birth to a son, we'll pass the family business to him when we're old, and we'll go around and see the sights. But think about it, he'll be in charge of such a big family business by then, so how will he have the time to travel around with us? So it's still just us."
"Shall we drive around? That doesn't seem like much fun."
"You're short-sighted, aren't you? Our country is nearly 10 million square kilometers. Tell me, where's the farthest you've been?"
Luan Feng thought for a long time: "It seems that I just walked to the county town and went to Bingyu Valley."
"Look, you haven't even left Hongya County, let alone the whole country. What a regret you'll have when you're old. So, I'll be the one who won't leave you with any regrets. We'll take our cameras and film as we go. We'll go to the Greater Khingan Mountains to see the white snow, to Bashu Province to see the adorable pandas, to Mount Tai to enjoy the sunrise, and to Huangguoshu to admire the rushing waterfalls. We'll film it all, and when we're too old to move, we'll lie in bed watching these videos and recall the good times we once had."
Luan Feng seemed to be moved by Wan Feng's words and tears welled up in her eyes: "You've made me want to go traveling now."
"No rush. Remember my words. From today on, pay close attention to the world around you. You will find that our country will develop at a rapid pace. In another ten or twenty years, when we are fifty, you will never dream of the changes that will take place in our lives."
"What else could change?" Luan Feng turned over and lay on Wan Feng's chest. This was her favorite position. She usually listened to Wan Feng tell some strange stories in this way.
"It's changed a lot. For example, I'm in Longjiang now. If you miss me, there's a small machine like this. You can turn it on and chat with me face to face."
"Really!" Luan Feng immediately became excited. This seemed to be a good thing. It would be much more convenient. Now you don't have to worry about him not knowing where he is when he goes out and doesn't come back.
"Of course it's true."
"I don't believe it!"
Luan Feng had reason not to believe it, and Wan Feng wouldn't believe it either if he hadn't experienced these things.
In 1997, when Wan Feng was watching an American science fiction film, he remembered seeing a scene in which people were talking on the phone while looking at each other's faces. However, the phones in the movie were as big as mortars.
At that time, I wondered when they could live like this.
Back then, let alone viewing paintings on a cell phone, 90% of people didn't even have a brick phone. He had just bought a pager, a 900-yuan Motorola digital pager.
Wan Feng still clearly remembers the slogan of the paging station he used: Good luck spreads thousands of miles, and benefits come to thousands of families.
He thought that the scene in the movie was just a fantasy and it would be impossible for him to practice it in his lifetime.
But who would have thought that in just less than twenty years, he would be able to talk to relatives and friends by looking at their faces with his mobile phone.
Where can I seek justice?
It felt like a dream when he made his first video call.
"You said that with a small machine we could talk face to face even though we were thousands of miles apart?"
"Um!"
"Then what if I tell you to come back and you scurry back from that little machine?"
Wan Feng Juhua's whole body softened immediately, and her body immediately became as weak as noodles. She felt so tired!
I said that as soon as I saw her, she wanted to get me back. Is this acceptable?
"Just bring her back when I'll show you! There aren't so many good things in the world. Remember, you can't have both fish and bras!"
"Since you can see it, why can't you come back?"
"Get away, I don't want to see you again!"
Luan Feng laughed so hard that her body shook.
That would probably have to wait until the day when he had the quantum teleportation function, but Wan Feng didn't think he could live to see that day.
"Go to sleep!" Wan Feng roared, then pushed Luan Feng off his body and gave her a spine.
Luan Feng had no intention of sleeping. She clung to Wan Feng's shoulders and said, "Tell me another one. I love to hear your nonsense."
"Who is talking nonsense? This is true!"
"Come on, you said the other day that you'd never regret taking off your clothes. I asked Sister Min about it, and she almost laughed herself to death. She said it was "I'd never regret even if my clothes got looser." Not "I'd never regret even if I took off my clothes."
"Aren't they all the same? What's the difference?"
"Sister Min said there's a huge difference! Taking off your clothes is not a good thing. "The belt gradually becomes loose" is used to describe... what did it describe? How could I have forgotten?"
Luan Feng thought hard and finally remembered: "It means that clothes become bigger when people lose weight... Why are you sleeping? You are not allowed to sleep. Tell me another story."
Wan Feng was already snoring softly, and no matter how Luan Feng tried to pull him, he was determined not to wake up.
On the afternoon of the tenth day, Zhang Xuan returned in high spirits. When she came back, Wan Feng was hanging out with Li Da and the others in the machinery factory, trying his best to translate the nouns marked on the machine tools with his poor Russian skills.
When Wan Feng walked out of the factory gate after get off work, he saw Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan standing at the gate of the garment factory waiting for him.
Wan Feng's head was spinning with fear. He gritted his teeth and said hello to Zhang Xuan, "Are you back?"
"Hmm!" Zhang Xuan was as cold as ice and just said "hmm".
"Wan Feng, Zhang Xuan is back. I'll go back to sleep tonight."
Wan Feng nodded and said okay.
"Then we'll go first."
Luan Feng started the motorcycle and carried Zhang Xuan away.
Even Zhang Xuan dared to ride the motorcycle that Luan Feng rode! Even Wan Feng didn't dare to ride like Luan Feng.
Zhang Xuan is back, so I have to leave. If I keep hanging around, he might reveal his flaws at any time.
Luan Feng might not be able to see it, but Wan Feng had no confidence that he could hide it from Jiang Min.
If Jiang Min noticed something, she would definitely tell Luan Feng if she didn't come to question him.
It’s better to stay away from it, out of sight and out of mind.
