Chapter Seventy-Four: Missing Home

Just when Chen Long hung up Lu Tingting's phone and thought about the problem with a fever in his head, the mobile phone rang again......

This Lu Tingting, how can she be so stubborn about him? Chen Long thought about it, so he connected the phone again, thinking that the other party was Lu Tingting, and was about to preach her, but a man's voice came from the phone:

"Brother, I'm Chen Gang. ”

Chen Long immediately heard that it was the voice of his younger brother Chen Gang. So he asked curiously, "Chen Gang, how do you know my phone number?

"It was the fifth sister who told me on the phone just now. Chen Gang replied to him, "Fifth sister said that you are still working in the same company as her, and told me that you just went in there to work as a security guard." Brother, have you been in the provincial capital for two months, why didn't you tell me? The fifth sister also said that you were seriously injured in the head when you caught the thief? Are you feeling better now? I feel so uncomfortable when I hear it. ”

"Chen Gang, you just read your book well, what should you do. This little injury of mine is no longer a big problem, what is serious, it is not a single injury! Don't worry about me. ”

"Brother, if this is really the case, then I will rest assured, otherwise I would like to rush over to visit you. ”

"No, don't come here! I have only been looking for a job in the provincial capital for two months, which is not a very long time. However, I encountered some small troubles, and the job search was not very smooth, so I don't want to alarm you and tell you and my fifth sister, for fear of affecting your studies. ”

"Hmm. Brother, my fifth sister and I have now started to graduate and work as interns, and we have also begun to have internship salaries, although it is not very high, but it is much more than finding a work-study job. So my study and living expenses with my fifth sister have been completely solved, and you don't need to give us money in the future, and then worry about our study expenses. Also, let me tell you, because I majored in civil engineering, I am currently working for a real estate development company. If it goes well, after graduating from the internship, it is logical to stay in this company and become a regular employee of this company. ”

Hearing his younger brother's words, Long Chen was very happy to hear it. After many years of reading and cultivation for my younger siblings, today I finally saw the harvest day. Although the eldest sister and he failed to study, the competitive younger siblings finally helped him realize his college dream of getting out of the poor mountain village and becoming a useful talent in the country......

"Well, very good, very good!" Chen Long sighed again and again, "Then continue to work hard to do a good job in the internship, you must successfully get the graduation certificate, and develop according to your ideal work and life." As an elder brother, I can't help you anymore, cultural knowledge is far inferior to you, and you should know many truths better than me, so I don't have to preach to you, and your life path will depend on you in the future......"

"Well, brother, I see. But brother, coming to the provincial town to find a job is not like our small county town. It's a crowd here, and I just wish you were more careful. Also, the eldest sister asked several times and said that she had seen you, and she said that she wanted to call you and could not get through and could not contact you. So, if it's convenient for you, it's best to call the eldest sister and tell her about your current situation so that she doesn't worry about you. ”

Chen Gang's words pierced his heart like a sharp knife. Two months of time, for people who are busy with things to do, maybe it will be over in a moment. But for the people and children who are waiting for them, every day is like a year, and these two months are really a long time! And Chen Long, since the day he stepped out of the house, has not been in contact with his family, and for his family, he has lost his news like a stone in the sea...... After all, at home, a mother in a wheelchair and two children who are not very sensible are handed over to the eldest sister who has already married and has her own children and her own family to take care of. As the pillar of this family, he went to the provincial capital to find a job and earn money with hope and responsibility, but he didn't earn the money, not to mention, and owed a huge debt. I didn't even call home on the phone...... Thinking of the eyes of the child and his mother full of expectation and hope when he went out, how stabbing he was in his heart!

"Chen Gang, I know, I'll call my eldest sister right away when I hang up the phone. ”

Chen Long replied ashamedly.

"Brother, in fact, I think so, I hope that your work and development in the provincial city can be stabilized as soon as possible, and then near where you work and live, see if you can find a school for your children to study. Tingting and Binbin are not young anymore, and they should be allowed to go to school. I think it's better to bring them into the provincial town if you can, so that they can follow you and take care of them yourself. As for my mother, when my fifth sister and I graduate from our internship and have a formal job and residence, I also hope to bring her to the provincial capital, where we can take care of her together and take her to a good hospital for treatment. ”

Chen Gang's words all went into his heart. The solution to the problem of these things, Chen Long doesn't know how many times he has thought about it. It's just that it's all because he didn't find a good and stable job and saved a certain amount of money...... And now, he is like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself! He has long had many plump plans, but the reality is extremely skinny and cruel......

"I see, Chen Gang. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I'll wait until my work situation is better and more stable. What are you going to do, I'm going to hang up. ”

After Chen Long finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He grabbed his phone tightly, looked up at the roof and pondered for a while, then dialed the eldest sister's number.

The other party's phone rang only one and was connected:

"Hey, who is it?"

The most cordial and familiar voice of the eldest sister immediately came from the phone.

“......”

Hearing the voices of his relatives who were thinking about him day and night, Chen Long suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he wanted to call his eldest sister cordially, but the words choked in his throat.

"Hey...... Who's talking, who's calling? Why don't you talk? If you don't talk, I'm going to hang up!"

The eldest sister asked eagerly on the other end of the phone.

“...... It's me, sister. It's me, Long Chen......"

Chen Long finally controlled his excitement and said hello to the eldest sister.

Hearing Long Chen's voice, the eldest sister was stunned for a moment, and then complained excitedly:

"Long Chen, what's the matter, I've been in the provincial capital for so long, why don't you call home! Besides, I haven't been able to get through to your phone, and I can't find you when I want to find it......

"Sister, I'm sorry. It's all my fault, and I lost my phone immediately after entering the provincial capital. Afterwards...... Something bad happened and it wasn't easy to find a job. So, it's only been delayed until now...... before I called you back. How is the mother at home now? It's not a big problem, is it? Also, Tingting and Binbin are obedient and don't bother you, right?"

"Both children are fine, and mom doesn't have anything, it's still the same. It's just you, what's going on, you've been in the city for so long, why can't you bear to not even call back to say hello! I know it's not easy for you to go to the city to find a job and earn money, but you don't have to give money back to make a call. Do you know that the two children ask me every day when my father will come back, what to buy for them, and when will I take them into the provincial town to play...... And my mother, every time I feed her, she wants to ask me, although I can't say clearly, but I can hear that she actually wants to ask you if you went into the city to get a job, is everything going well......"

The eldest sister's words made Chen Long's heart infinitely sad and bitter, and his eyes were moist.

"Sister, you can tell my mother that I have now found a job as a security guard in a large pharmaceutical conglomerate. Food and accommodation are all in this company. Because the job search was not very smooth before, I never made any money. Okay, this time, I have a job, and I'll send it back to you when I get paid. ”

"Long Chen, it's not that the family is in a hurry to need you to send money. I can understand that it is not easy for you to find a job outside to earn money, and if you don't find a job, you don't earn money, but you have to eat, live and travel first. If you don't have money or are having any problems, be sure to let me know. I'll do my best to help you. ”

"Sister, I know. I'm sorry I haven't called back to greet you all during this time. Please forgive me, sister, and apologize to my mother on my behalf. ”

"Long Chen, please don't say that, it's very good that you can fight back now, I know your current situation, I'm very relieved. I hope you can call back more often if you have time in the future, okay?"

"Well, sister, I'll know how to do it in the future, please rest assured. It's just that the mother and child at home have to work hard for you to continue to take care of. Oh, by the way, I've already met Fifth Sister, and she happens to be in the same company as me with her current internship. In the future, she and I can see each other often, and we can take care of everything. Also, just now, Brother Chen Gangdi also talked to me on the phone and communicated with each other to understand the situation. If possible, I'll arrange a time for him to come to me, and we'll have a meal together. ”

"That's great, I'm glad to hear you say that, I'll tell my mother about you. Mom will be very happy to hear this. In fact, Chen Gang and his fifth sister often called me back to greet me and tell me about their study and work. It's just you, and I haven't been able to get in touch, so I'm worried about it......"

"Okay, sister, this won't happen in the future. There's nothing I'm going to hang up. ”

After Chen Long finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but he heard Tingting and Binbin crying next to him, wanting to answer the phone. It seems that the two children already know that it was their father's call back, so they can't wait to talk to their father on the phone.

So Chen Long didn't hang up the phone, and hurriedly said loudly: "Sister, you can answer the phone to the two children, let me talk to them." ”

"Okay. ”

The eldest sister answered, and carefully handed the phone to the eldest daughter Tingting.

"Daddy, Daddy......"

The child's crisp shouting was immediately heard on the phone, especially Binbin, who was so anxious to call next to him before he got the phone.

The child's cordial shouts were like a warm current, flowing into his heart as a father, and Chen Long was relaxed when he heard it. I can't wait to be by the child's side now, hold the two children tightly in my arms, and give them the warmest and safest father's love in the world! Thinking about leaving the child's side in the past two months, the child has no father's care and protection, and let them look forward to it day and night...... I don't feel like a good father.

"Tingting, are you well-behaved at home? Have you listened to your aunt and helped take care of your grandmother and younger brother?"

Hearing her father's kind question, the sensible Tingting suddenly burst into tears with a pair of big watery eyes, she held back her crying and replied to her father: "Dad, I have listened to my aunt, I have taken care of my grandmother and younger brother with my aunt." Dad, when are you coming back? We miss you so much, why haven't you called back for so long......

Listening to such a sensible daughter talking like this, Chen Long felt very ashamed and uncomfortable, and hurriedly comforted her: "Tingting, because Dad has been very busy with work, I couldn't call you in time, Dad is sorry for you." In the future, Dad will call back to talk to you often. When Dad is not busy, I will arrange my work and go back to the house to take you and my brother to play, okay......"

Binbin, who was standing beside Tingting, was so anxious that he snatched the mobile phone, put the mobile phone close to his ear like an adult, and said loudly: "Dad, Dad, come back quickly, come back quickly! Buy me fun toys and come back! Come back and take me and my sister to your side, I will follow you every day......"

"Oh, okay, Binbin is very well-behaved and sensible......"

Chen Long listened to the child's words and promised to comfort him.

Next, the two children took turns grabbing their mobile phones and talked to Chen Long for a long time over and over again......

In the end, in the child's reluctance, Chen Long hung up the phone, he took a look at the call time, and it took more than 100 minutes!

It's been two months, and although I haven't brought anything back to my family, I finally contacted my family one by one today to understand the situation. At this moment, his mood suddenly felt extremely relaxed. The future of his life is open, suddenly open, and at the same time full of infinite responsibility.

"Ding Ding ......"

Suddenly, the phone rings a few times, and the screen prompts a low battery status, ready to shut down. So Chen Long found a charger, and as soon as he plugged it in to charge, the mobile phone suddenly rang again!

Chen Long hurriedly answered to listen, and suddenly Lu Tingting complained very angrily on the phone:

"Long Chen, what's wrong with you? I've been calling you all night, and your phone is busy all the time! Are you talking to a beautiful woman on the phone and talking about love for hours?"

"No, I was talking to my family on the phone. Chen Long hurriedly explained to her.

"Long Chen, just lie to me, the ghost will believe your words!" Lu Tingting denied angrily, "Let me tell you, you Chen Long only belong to me, and no other woman will be allowed to approach you in the future......"

Before Lu Tingting could finish the rest of the sentence, Chen Long's mobile phone rang twice, and it automatically shut down due to the power running out......
