At this time, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was my mom.
Recently, I've been busy, so I haven't called home. I felt a bit guilty. Although I gave my parents fifty thousand kuai last time, they would definitely save it for me to marry a wife.
I was living a life of luxury, while my parents were still facing the yellow earth with their backs to the sky. I felt that I wasn't filial at all. However, in the current situation, I couldn't take them in. It would only be a mess.
"Hello, mom. Why did you call me?" I hurried to answer.
"I have nothing to do, so I wanted to ask how my son is doing."
A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone. I felt a bit melancholy, and inexplicably thought of Wanderer's Song. As the saying goes, when a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries. I haven't been far from home for more than ten years. Before I came to the city, my mom had told me a lot of things. In a flash, a few months had passed. I had changed from a shy teenager to a young man with a good position and wealth. But I didn't plan to tell my parents now. They were all farmers, and there were some things they couldn't accept.
"Hehe, it's okay. How's your body?"
I suddenly remembered that my dad had smoked for many years and often coughed badly. He always took some medicine to deal with it. When I have time, I must cure him. "Our family is fine.
You don't need to worry. Right, mom wants to ask you something. Today, many people came to our house, even from the neighboring village. It's because those kids who went to Yun City to work called us. They said that there was a big shot in Yun City that forced the Municipal Party Secretary to commit suicide. That big shot was also called Zhuang Feng. Son, it shouldn't be you, right? "Mom said slowly. Hearing this, my expression became strange.
Today's commotion was too big. For ordinary people, compared to the Zhao family, the Municipal Party Secretary's suicide was more sensational. After all, most people couldn't come in contact with martial arts, but it was different for the officials of the Municipal Party Secretary.
Many people liked to talk about hot topics during their leisure time. Although it had only happened for less than ten hours, it had already spread like wildfire.
Luckily, no one took pictures at that time. Otherwise, it would be hard to keep a low profile. Now, even the villagers were alarmed.
"Cough, cough. Of course it wasn't me. How could I come in contact with the Municipal Party Secretary? I'm just a student."
If I admitted it, my mom would definitely faint. Forcing the Municipal Party Secretary to commit suicide wasn't something that could be described with just 'awesome'.
"Huhu, mom said they made a mistake. These days, there are so many people with the same name. My son is still a student. How could he do such an exaggerated thing?"
Obviously, my mom let out a long sigh of relief. Even if a commoner died, there would be a price to pay, not to mention the Municipal Party Secretary. From this afternoon onwards, there had been people coming to our house to visit. She even told my parents to be mentally prepared. If that person was me, my family might be implicated.
After all, I had purposely erased my own contributions. Moreover, as the news spread, it was easy for various versions to appear. What I didn't expect was that after such a ruckus, the two words "Zhuang Feng" had been given a special meaning in Cloud City.
Even some newborn babies were given this name. Even if they changed their surname, it didn't matter. Because this name represented the parents' hope for their children's future.
"Hehe."
However, Liu Jie couldn't help but laugh when she heard the conversation between my mom and me. Since the surroundings were very quiet, my mom heard everything clearly.
"Yi, why is there a girl smiling next to you? Is it the one we talked about last time?" My mom's ears were very sharp. Her tone revealed a strong expectation.
"Hehe, mom, you're so smart."
I directly admitted it. Compared to my dad's inflexible thinking, my mom was much easier to talk to. Especially in the area of love. She didn't oppose it. After all, there were many young people in the village who had children like me.
"Is it convenient for her to answer the phone now?"
My mom was a little nervous. After all, the last time they came to the city, they knew that Liu Jie was a rich girl. My dad thought that the disparity was too big. Instead of having time to talk about love, it was better to study hard. My mom believed that my charisma could conquer Liu Jie.
"Aha."
Before I could say anything, Liu Jie couldn't wait and snatched the phone away. "Hello, mom. It's convenient for me."
"Uh …" It wasn't just my mother, even I was stunned for a while. This should be the first time Liu Jie talked to my mother. We hadn't met before, so I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it if Liu Jie called my mother 'mother' directly.
On the other end of the phone, my mom was obviously stunned for a while. "Aiya, you're too polite. Your voice is so sweet."
Fortunately, she called me mom. If she called me dad, she might have directly scolded Liu Jie. I could hear that my mom was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing my mom's praise, Liu Jie was even more happy. "Did you see that, Xiao Feng -ge? Our mom is praising me!"
I laughed dryly. Seeing that Liu Jie respected my mom so much, I felt a sense of accomplishment. It seems like I taught her well.
Then, my mom insinuated that Liu Jie had a relationship with me. She admitted it openly. Although my mom was from the countryside, she was still very observant when it came to these details. There must be a reason why Liu Jie immediately called me mom.
"Do you have a baby?!" Soon, she asked impatiently.
"Ah, mom, not yet. It's all Xiao Feng -ge's fault. He has to wear that thing every time. Otherwise, he would have had one long ago. Mom, you have to scold him." Liu Jie felt wronged. She actually started to snitch.
"Okay, okay. Mom will help you vent your anger. That brat is too much. He dares to bully you." My mom's tone was filled with joy.
Then, Liu Jie winked and handed the phone to me. My mom started to scold me. She said that it wasn't good to use too many condoms. It might affect my future pregnancy. She said that my former playmate's child was already a week old last month. She made me feel awkward. She even asked me to bring Liu Jie home during the New Year. Or, they could come over and visit Liu Jie's home.
However, after talking about this, my mom suddenly asked about my sister-in-law. Since my uncle had returned to his hometown, they also knew about my sister-in-law's divorce. My mom had told me several times that I must keep my distance from my sister-in-law. She said that she was a jinx that had killed my cousin.
