My dad's life

"Uncle Liu, it's me, Fangyuan." Fangyuan said immediately when he saw the phone call.

"Fangyuan, why did you think of calling my house? What about your dad?" Liu Guowang asked strangely.

After all, young people nowadays rarely call their own homes, let alone neighbors, so I guess it was Fang's father looking for him.

"My dad? No, I want to tell you something." Fang Yuan also reacted and quickly explained.

"Say something? What did you tell me?" Liu Guowang asked in confusion.

"Lao San, who is calling?" Grandma Zhou asked loudly at this time.

"It's from Fangyuan." Liu Guowang hurriedly covered the microphone and said loudly.

But Fangyuan on the other end of the phone still hears it.

"Uncle Liu, how is Grandma Zhou's health? Is everything all right?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Much better than before, at least people can move, but the movements are not as neat as before." Liu Guowang sighed on the phone.

Although Grandma Zhou was 80 years old, she was still able to live on her own, which shows that her physical fitness is really good.

But after a fall, it suddenly became different, especially the left leg, which was not able to take a step.

"As long as the body is fine." Fang Yuan comforted.

"By the way, did you just say something to tell me?" Liu Guowang asked.

"Yes, Uncle Liu, when we went home before, didn't Grandma Zhou give Xinxin a bracelet? Then a friend of mine saw the bracelet, and her mother had exactly the same one." Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in organizing language.

"Really...really?" Liu Guowang asked tremblingly in disbelief.

"of course it's true."

"Aren't you kidding Sanshu?" But Liu Guowang was still a little unbelievable.

"How bored I am, calling me here to lie to you? Besides, can I still make jokes on this matter?" Fang Yuan said silently.

"Yes, yes, it's the third uncle who can't speak. Third uncle apologizes to you. Tell me about that...the specific situation." Liu Guowang asked impatiently.

So Fang Yuan said roughly what happened, and then continued: "Listening to the other side, it should be the missing daughter of Grandma Zhou. But after all, with a bracelet, he decided that it was a bit reckless.

And the other party was not ready, so I didn't want to see Grandma Zhou for the time being. I asked my friend to do ideological work first and then do a DNA test."

"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense. Uncle Liu will ask you for this. I didn't expect... I didn't expect to hear about the younger sister. We all thought she was no longer alive." Uncle Liu seemed to believe that Lin Jiayan was His lost sister.

When speaking, there was a hint of crying in his tone.

"The third child, what's the matter with you? How come you lie down in tears when you are such an adult."

Liu Guowang suddenly heard Granny Zhou's voice coming from beside him, and then lightly patted him on the back with one hand, just like when he was a child, but he no longer had the strength of the past.

"No... it's okay, mom." Liu Guowang squeezed his eyes quickly, holding back tears.

Then the other party continued roundly saying: "Help Uncle Liu, help you Granny Zhou, and help our whole family pay more attention to this matter. It's really impossible. Give me the address and I will go directly to Lushi."

"Uncle Liu, why are you polite with me? I'll definitely take care of this. I won't call you if I don't care. Don't worry, I will definitely help Grandma Zhou with this wish." Fang Yuan said with a smile .

"Yes, yes, what a good boy, you help me greet your parents." Liu Guowang finished speaking and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Then she hugged Grandma Zhou beside her and shouted "Mom."

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Tell your mom, what hasn't happened in so many years? How can there be any barriers to getting through?"

Grandma Zhou was suddenly hugged by her youngest son, she felt a little bit in her heart, but she comforted her son very firmly.

"Mom, there is news about Swallows." Liu Guowang let go of Grandma Zhou and said happily, but tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"What did you say? You say it again, I didn't hear it clearly." Grandma Zhou asked, but she couldn't stop shaking with Liu Guowang's hands.

"I said, there is news about your daughter Jia Yan and my sister Yanzi." Liu Guowang finally stabilized his mood and said again.

"Little Yanzi? There is finally news about my little Yanzi?"

Grandma Zhou was calmer than Liu Guowang thought. After speaking, she walked back to the chair at the back door and sat down.

But her trembling hands betrayed her emotions, and eventually her whole body began to tremble.

"Mom." Liu Guowang walked over and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Mom is fine, mom is fine, mom is fine, mom is fine..." Grandma Zhou repeated the words over and over again, and gradually calmed down.

"Tell your mother about finding Jia Yan." Grandma Zhou asked, who calmed down.

So Liu Guowang told Grandma Zhou what Fangyuan had just said.

"So, don't get too excited. Fangyuan said it's just possible. After all, you can't just use a bracelet to identify it as a house swallow."

"She can't be wrong if she is a house swallow. That bracelet was made by your grandfather when I was born. There is no second bracelet except for this pair."

Grandma Zhou seems to believe that this person named Lin Jiayan is her daughter who has been lost for many years.

"How has she been all these years? Is she married? Look at me, I am always confused, isn't Xiao Fang's friend her daughter." Grandma Zhou laughed at herself.

"Listening to Fang Yuan, she is doing well now, with one son and one daughter." Liu Guowang said.

"Is there a daughter? Good daughter, good daughter, our old Liu family finally has a girl." Grandma Zhou smiled, very happy.

"Then... when can Swallow come back to see me? No, where is she? I went to see her, I miss her." Grandma Zhou couldn't wait to be honest.

"Fang Yuan said that Jia Yan has not considered it yet, but he reassures you that he will try his best to let Jia Yan come to see you." Liu Guowang whispered.

I'm afraid Grandma Zhou can't accept it.

But Grandma Zhou was very calm when she heard the words, but looked at the field behind the yard again.

After a while, I said to myself: "I know, Swallow hates me. It was my fault back then. I shouldn't have lost her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't forgive me, knowing that she has lived now. Good, I'm stunned when I die."

"Mom, how could this be your fault." Liu Guowang said hurriedly.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Grandma Zhou waved her hand and stood up with a smile.

"Mom." Liu Guowang hurriedly supported her, calling out with some worry.

"Mom is okay, mom is doing well now." Grandma Zhou smiled and asked Liu Guowang to let go of her arm.

Then he happily went back to his house, opened his suitcase, and rummaged in it.

Liu Guowang didn't bother her either, just standing by and watching.

Grandma Zhou took out a stack of paper shoe molds from the bottom of the box.

This is used to make cloth shoes in the past. There are various sizes of soles and shoe molds corresponding to the uppers.

They are all cut out of yellow kraft paper. When you need it, put it on the cloth and cut it according to the shoe mold.

In the past, the three brothers of the Liu family all grew up wearing the work of Grandma Zhou.

"Swallow's feet are the same length as mine. I wear 38 size shoes. I guess she is about this size now.

When she was a child, she liked wearing made shoes. When she went out that year, her shoes were broken. I promised her to come back and make her a new pair of shoes. But if she can't come back again, she definitely can't wear these shoes now. On it."

Grandma Zhou fumbled for a while at the bottom of the box, and then took out a pair of small cloth shoes, black uppers, embroidered with the red peony flowers, even after so many years, they are still very gorgeous, without the slightest fading.

Grandma Zhou found out all the tools for making shoes, and then took them all to the living room and put them on the big table.

Then he almost leaned on the table, cutting it carefully with scissors, for fear of a slight mistake.
