ah ming, who had installed fake toes, became completely cheerful. after he returned to the country, he did many things that he had once wanted to do but couldn’t.
the first thing he did was skateboarding.
the second thing was to dress like a peacock and run to the ten mile fragrance commercial street, where there were the most beautiful women. he deliberately walked around on the street to attract the attention of those girls.
he was like this for a while before he gradually calmed down.
after calming down, ah ming resumed his old profession as a fortune-teller.
when fang shan went to school, he would carry his own tools and set up a stall on fraud street.
it was late autumn, so qiao sen called fang shan and invited him to bring his brother to junyang city for the weekend. qiao sen had been flying around the world for a while. he wanted to spend some time with his wife and children, so he asked the fang brothers to go over.
fang shan brought ah ming along. when he went, fang zikai and fang taoran followed.
the four of them were warmly received by uncle qiao sen. that night, they had a decent but expensive dinner at the only five-star western restaurant in junyang city.
after dinner, they went home. after fang shan took a shower, he saw qiao sen when he walked out of the bathroom. qiao sen sat at the end of the bed in the guest room. he looked up at fang shan, who was only wrapped in a bath towel. he smiled and said, ” shan shan has grown up. ”
fang shan asked him to wait.
he took his clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
after changing his clothes, fang shan came out. his uncle seemed to have something to say, so he asked, ” uncle, what did you want to say to me? ” he thought that his uncle wanted to discuss ah ming with him.
qiao sen said, ” ah ming is back. ”
the corners of fang shan’s lips curved up, and he hummed in agreement. fang shan was very happy to be able to find ah ming.
qiao sen continued, ” she always thought that the child was dead. so many years had passed, and she had suffered all the hardships that she should have. shan-shan, you’ve grown up too. can you ... can you go and see her?”
hearing this, fang shan’s body stiffened and his expression turned cold.
qiao sen saw the obvious resistance in fang shan’s eyes and his heart ached. he said, ” i took some time to visit her once last month. her condition is not good, her body is getting worse and worse. she has been sick in recent years. i’m worried that she doesn’t have many years left to live. ”
fang shan’s gaze finally changed.
“do you want me to go see her?” fang shan didn’t reject qiao sen, but he didn’t agree either. he looked at his uncle and said, ” uncle, you should know that i don’t have any feelings for her. she was already in jail when i couldn’t remember anything. when i grew up, i was already used to not having her in my life.”
“when i think about how i’ve been separated from brother ah ming for so many years because of her, i actually hate her very much. uncle, do you think i’ll agree to go see her?”
qiao sen was completely stumped by the young man’s question.
qiao sen was not fang shan.
fang shan and ah ming were both victims. qiao sen’s request for fang shan to visit qiao jiuyin was already a difficult task. qiao sen recalled the last time he saw qiao jiuyin. she looked like she was in her 60s, and he felt terrible.
it was a tight grip.
if his sister had not gone to jail, she would have been like shengsheng, a middle-aged woman who was still as beautiful as a flower.
it was her own fault.
qiao sen said, ” uncle, you’re making things difficult for me. ” qiao sen sighed, patted fang shan’s shoulder, and left.
fang shan closed the door and threw himself onto the bed. he put his hands under his head and thought about what his uncle had just said. her uncle said that her condition was not good and that she should not have many years left to live.
was she going to die?
fang yuan used a pillow to hide his head. he faced the pillow and let out a few “ah.” her voice burrowed into the pillow, and it sounded muffled.
the next morning, after fang shan had breakfast, he went to find ah ming and asked him to play with fang zikai and the others for the day.
ah ming asked him where he was going and what he was going to do.
fang shan had wanted to lie to him, but when he saw a ‘ming’s concerned gaze, fang shan decided to tell him the truth. “i’ll go see her.” at first, ah ming did not understand who fang shan was referring to when he said ‘she’.
that was until she heard fang shan say, ” the prison is in junyang city. i’ll drive there myself. ”
ah ming knew who ‘she’ was. however, he said, ” i want to go too. ”
“no,” the moment fang shan thought of ah ming visiting qiao jiuyin and foolishly calling her ‘mom’, his heart burned with rage. if he went to see her, it would be a charity to qiao jiuyin. ah ming definitely couldn’t go to see her.
that person was not qualified to see a ‘ming again.
fang shan’s rejection was so decisive that ah ming knew that he would not be able to go today. he didn’t insist. he didn’t know what to do if he really had to see that person. “then you go, drive slowly.”
“yes.”
fang shan got into the car. seeing that ah ming was staring at him, he couldn’t bear it. fang shan rolled down the window and said to ah ming, ” why don’t you come with me and wait for me in the car? ”
as soon as he said this, he saw the corners of ah ming’s lips curl up.
ah ming ran over like a fly, opened the door of the front passenger seat, got in the car, and buckled the seat belt in one smooth motion. fang shan smiled and shook his head. he started the engine and drove to the prison.
when they arrived at the prison gate, fang shan let ah ming wait for him in the car before he got out.
…
the walls of the prison were very high.
it was said that the sky above them was very blue today. even an old woman in her sixties would have to work hard while serving her sentence in prison.
qiao jiuyin could not see, so she could only do the easiest things. qiao jiuyin had been doing this for many years. for example, she had been able to distinguish buttons by their different sizes just by feeling them.
years of labor had caused qiao jiuyin’s hair to turn white. she put the big button into the paper box on the left and the small button into the right. she perked up her ears and listened to the other cellmates talk about how good the weather was today and how suitable it was for a sunbath. the maple tree outside the wall had red leaves again, and the fragrant mountain must be even more beautiful.
the beautiful sight of sunlight peeking through the gaps in the maple forest only existed in qiao jiuyin’s distant memory. qiao jiuyin’s lips curved into a smile as she recalled the beautiful sights she had seen in her youth.
before the corners of her lips could curl up completely, she remembered that she had been blind for a long time, so she put away her smile.
suddenly, the prison police were shouting yingluo on the radio.
” no. 0913, come to the meeting room. a relative is here. ”
qiao jiuyin remained unmoved.
the broadcast rang again. then, the woman sitting next to qiao jiuyin nudged her arm and said, ” sister qiao, number 0913, isn’t that you? ”
qiao jiuyin put down the button in her hand.
he was looking for her ...
after coming here for so many years, other than qiao sen, almost no one had come to visit her. hence, every time the broadcast rang to remind people that they were here to see their loved ones, qiao jiuyin did not care.
no one would come to see her anyway.
thinking that it was qiao sen, qiao jiuyin stood up and went to the meeting room with the help of the prison police.
she sat on the stool and the prison police handed her the phone. qiao jiuyin held the phone to her ear and called out, ” brother? you’ve come to see me again?”
fang shan stared at the old-looking woman in front of him and was shocked. his expression was also very complicated. it was somewhat desolate, somewhat sorrowful, and somewhat shocked. the only thing that remained was the deep hatred that he had previously harbored. at this moment, all of it had disappeared.
this old woman was his mother?
the legendary mother who was as good-looking as qiao jiusheng?
qiao jiuyin could hear fang shan’s breathing through the phone. qiao jiusheng called him ” brother ” again, and asked, ” brother, why aren’t you saying anything? ”
the man finally spoke.
he said, ” i’m fang shan. ”
clang!
qiao jiuyin let go of the phone in her hand.
