Chapter Thirty-Seven The Trickster(1/2)
In the room, the light on the roof spreads light and dispels the darkness.
But behind Chen Lun, there were some shadows behind the man in the wheelchair.
The middle-aged man in the wheelchair seemed to be a little confused, and his eyes became more turbid,
The smile on his face gradually faded away.
Sitting on the carpet not far from the man in a wheelchair, Chen Lun turned his eyes again and fell on the middle-aged man without saying a word.
“…Old Yang?”
At this time, a sound came from the electric wheelchair fixed to the communication device on the side of the middle-aged man's head.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man paused first, then turned his head and asked out loud.
"Old Yang... I have a phone call here. Do you want me to transfer it directly to you now? It's from your home."
On the other end of the phone, the person who was speaking shouted first, paused before speaking again.
When the middle-aged man heard the sound, he paused for a while this time, and looked at the communicator fixed on the handrail and didn't say anything.
The person on the other end of the phone did not urge him, but just waited.
The room became quieter.
Chen Lun's eyes fell on the middle-aged man, just sitting quietly.
"Come on...thank you."
After pausing for a while, the middle-aged man responded to the communication equipment and made a thank-you again.
"No need. Then I'll pick it up for you now."
The person on the other end of the communication equipment spoke again, and then calmed down again.
It seems to be redirecting the phone.
The middle-aged man turned his head downwards, facing the communicator in his wheelchair.
He tried a little harder and moved his body in the wheelchair,
I leaned down toward the communicator position, and seemed to feel that it was not close enough to the communication device.
Looking at the communicator, the middle-aged man gradually smiled on his face.
“…Dad, Dad…”
But then, the other end of the phone that was transferred to the phone was a boy's crisp shout.
The middle-aged man stopped his movements and wanted to squeeze out a smile on his face, but he just squeezed it halfway and stopped again. He repeatedly wanted to show some smile, but his mouth was slightly open and he could not make any sound.
"...Your baby son misses you, but I didn't listen after I persuaded you, and I insisted on calling you... Okay, the phone has been opened, let's talk to your father."
"...Dad...I miss you..."
On the other end of the phone, a woman's voice sounded and explained.
“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A smile appeared on his face. The middle-aged man first smiled and said a few words to the other end of the phone, his children, and then spoke to his wife on the other end of the phone.
"...Dad, when will you come back... Last time I told Xu Zitong, my dad is so amazing, she doesn't believe it yet... Dad, you are back, take me to school..."
The boy's voice rang out from the other end of the phone, as if he was coming to the phone to speak, and the sound was still a little loud.
Listening to the other end of the phone and the voice of his children, the middle-aged man paused for a while, repeatedly squeezed out some smiles, and then smiled and responded to the other end of the phone and his wife's words.
"...Okay... Then I'll take you to school... Dad will take some time to come back."
"good……"
"Old Yang, the military project you went to participate in is not over yet, how long will it take?"
On the other end of the phone, the child responded frankly, and the woman asked again.
“…Yes, it will take some time.”
The middle-aged man paused and responded with a smile on his face.
"...If it really doesn't work, just come back... Just come back and be a professor. Our family is not that short of money. No matter how good you are there, you haven't been back for so long..."
On the other end of the phone, the woman was silent and said again.
"...Dad...Dad, I can eat less snacks and spend less money...Dad, can you come back early?"
On the other end of the phone, it seemed that the boy also said to the phone.
On the wheelchair, the middle-aged man listened and wanted to squeeze out some smiles again, but he still couldn't squeeze out.
"...You come back, Lao Yang..."
On the other end of the phone, the woman spoke again.
The middle-aged man paused for a while and finally forced out some more smiles.
Although the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see it, he still smiled and replied again.
"...Why can't that work? Military projects? How can you participate if you say you want to participate? If you say you don't participate, you will leave if you say you don't."
On the other end of the phone, the woman fell silent.
"...Then try to come back as soon as possible... Lao Yang, can you make a video... The child hasn't seen you for a long time... I want to see you..."
"I miss you too..."
After pausing, the woman said again on the other end of the phone.
The middle-aged man listened to the woman's words, turned his head and looked at his already distorted body,
Turning back, looking at the communication equipment, opening his mouth repeatedly, just about to speak,
But the voice of his child sounded again on the other end of the phone.
"...Dad, dad... let's start the video, I want to see you..."
On the other end of the phone, the boy shouted happily.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound, but instead there was tears in his eyes.
"...Xiao Zheng, go to the bedroom and help your mother take the charger. My mother's phone is almost out of power."
“…But I want to see my dad…”
“…it’s out of power, but I can’t make a phone call.”
"All right."
On the other end of the phone, the woman paused for a while and opened the child.
“…Old Yang…”
“…Are you injured…”
The woman paused for a while, and some trembling voices came out of the communicator.
"Don't hide it from me, Lao Yang... are you injured in the army..."
As I asked again, the woman on the other end of the phone had a little crying voice in her voice.
"without……"
"Old Yang, don't hide it from me, don't hide it from me..."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and barely made some noises.
Immediately afterwards, the woman's crying voice came from the other end of the communicator.
"...Did you hurt Lao Yang..."
The middle-aged man was trembling slightly, with tears in his eyes.
He opened his mouth repeatedly, paused, and squeezed out a smile on his face.
"...It's okay...I just got hurt on my hand."
The middle-aged man said with a smile, but as soon as he spoke, his voice could not stop trembling.
After pausing for a while, he squeezed out a smile on his face, as if this would make his words easier.
"...Is it serious? Why don't you come back, Lao Yang..."
"...Old Yang, don't lie to me, okay..."
"... Come back, Lao Yang... you are injured, are they still not letting anyone go? Lao Yang, come back... Let's go to the hospital..."
It seemed that the emotions accumulated over the years could no longer be held back, and they broke into pieces and vented out like a dam.
The woman on the other end of the phone almost cried and said.
"...It's okay, it's not serious...how can it be so serious? Now the army is no longer fighting, I accidentally fell down and fell down my hand. It's a bit inconvenient. Now the doctor is helping me hold my phone."
The smile squeezed out from the middle-aged man's face was a little unrestrained. He opened his mouth repeatedly before he said reluctantly.
