"Hello, may I ask, is this an exchange office?" With a gentle knock on the door, a low and honest male voice sounded, Zhou Shiyi raised his head and squinted at the person at the door.

The man looked old, with a small haircut, slightly bulging eyes, three or four deep cracks at the corners of his eyes across the brownish skin, a slightly square face with deep cheekbones, a wide shirt tucked into suit pants, and a pair of wrinkled hands rubbing calluses unnaturally in his palms.

"Yes. Zhou Shiyi smiled gently, made a "please sit" gesture to the man, looked through the recent arrangements in his hand, and after confirming that there were no customers recently, he raised his head and asked the man kindly, "Sir, how do you call you? Also, is there anything I can do to help you?"

After hearing Zhou Shiyi's question, the man stood up suddenly, blushed, held his two hands at once, unconsciously put them on his stomach, and stammered: "I, my name is Cheng Yang; ”

Cheng Yang's face showed embarrassment, looked at Zhou Shiyi timidly, and said cautiously: "I, my story is very plain and common, and it is very likely that it will not move you......"

Cheng Yang's voice gradually lowered, his head also drooped, his hands kept clenching and loosening, and when he finally said something, he desperately took out his trouser pocket with one hand, took out a passbook, and suddenly raised his head, his voice was full of eagerness: "But, but I brought money over! This is all the savings of our family in the past few years! It may not be too much, but I can still borrow it! Really!"

"Mr. Cheng, don't be in a hurry, don't be restrained, as long as your story is true enough and the conditions are reasonable, please rest assured, we will definitely help you. Zhou Shiyi was startled by the pleading in Cheng Yang's eyes, poured him a glass of water, got up and helped him sit down, trying to appease Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang's eyes lit up suddenly, and then darkened in an instant, holding his head in pain and shaking constantly: "No, you won't help me, my request is too much......"

Cheng Yang was a little surprised: the man in front of him was simple and honest, and he could see that he was not here for money, so how could he make any excessive demands?

"Mr. Cheng, can you tell us your wish first, maybe we can help you?"

"My wife, I would like to ask you to help my wife meet my father-in-law again, so that they can communicate well again and fulfill one of my wife's wishes. Cheng Yang paused and continued sullenly, "My father-in-law passed away from illness three years ago......

"My father-in-law's illness was discovered too late, he died in less than a month, he was in a hurry, my wife hadn't had time to see him for the last time, and he didn't leave a word......"

"The last time my wife saw her father-in-law was when he came back for treatment, and after saying a few words, he left in a hurry...... Until now, my wife can't get over the hurdle in her heart...... The doctor said my wife was sick, but I didn't think it was sick and didn't want to send her to that kind of place. So, I want you to help me. ”

Zhou Shiyi listened to Cheng Yang's words and gradually fell into deep thought, supporting his head with one hand, covering his eyes, and pursing his lips tightly.

Xiaoyun, brother misses you, and speaking of which, brother didn't say goodbye to you.

"Boss, boss, that's all, you see what you think, is it okay?" Cheng Yang finished speaking, calling Zhou Shiyi, who was stunned twice, lowered his head uneasily, and stared at the ornaments on the floor.

"Okay, I promise you...... But we need your wife's family history and information, so please give us a few days to prepare. After Cheng Yang heard the affirmative answer, he kept thanking and leaving, Zhou Shiyi saw Cheng Yang leave, smiled sadly, and the whole person collapsed on the chair and fell into deep thought.

"Today, Wu Yanyan and they sent joy candy over, you see, it's a big package. When it was almost noon, Ling Wei came in with a large bag of candy, raised and shook it childishly, raised her head and waited for Zhou Shiyi to praise her.

"It's good," Zhou Shiyi came back to his senses, got up and took the bag in Ling Wei's hand dotingly, wrapped his arms around her waist, sat on the sofa by himself, and hugged Ling Wei to his lap, "You just happened to come over, let me hold it for a while." ”

"Why?" Ling Wei snorted and kicked her legs, restlessly moving in Zhou Shiyi's arms, "I tell you that I am the eldest in the family now! ”

"Don't move," Zhou Shiyi circled the restless Ling Wei, knocked her head seriously, changed to a comfortable position, and said lazily, "There is a customer today, the customer is not strange, but the request is very strange." ”

"The sun is so good outside, how can I pull the curtains so tightly, and I don't turn on the lights, I'm not afraid of suffocating myself. Cheng Yang returned home with joy, and vaguely saw the person sitting in the living room, stepped forward with a long sigh, squatted in front of her, and coaxed her softly.

Shang Nan was stunned, and in a trance felt a hand gently caressing his cheek, and when he came back to his senses, he saw his husband Cheng Yang, and hugged him again and cried: "Mom and Dad must be darker down there...... And there are bugs down there, they're going to be scared......"

"It's okay, it's okay, our dad will protect our mom. Cheng Yang felt that his shoulders were wet, he hugged Shang Nan awkwardly, and kept comforting him in distress, "Wife, how can our parents rest assured that you are like this?

"Dad, he doesn't want me, he's still angry with me, I haven't had time to show him ......" Shang Nan shook his head desperately, crying even harder;

Shang Nan was tired of crying, and fell asleep in a daze after being fed water by Cheng Yang, and vaguely heard Cheng Yang talking to others on the phone in his dream.

"I'm sorry, please ...... as soon as possible"

"Really? Thank you, thank you! Is my wife really going to see my father-in-law next week? Thank you!"

Dad, Shang Nan whispered, can I really see you next week?

Dad, Mom was relieved to hand me over to you when she left, what about you, did Mom know what happened later and forgive you? After I finished talking to you about the matter, we explained it clearly, will you rest assured?

A tear slipped from the corner of Shang Nan's eye, dripped on the ground, and disappeared.

Shang Nan's last class taught the students the Analects, and he only repeated one sentence in one class, "Parents are here, don't travel far; ”

Parents are here, not far away.
