Zhang Sicheng only felt exhausted at the moment. If his colleagues hadn't reminded him just now, he would have already stopped on the subway.
I have been working overtime for a week continuously, and I have not had any time to rest this week. Apart from working, I still work every day, and I don’t even have time to read the news.
But fortunately, I have almost completed all the work today, and I can feel a little more relaxed tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sicheng's mood cheered up a little, but when he returned to the rental community, his mood fell again.
He is twenty-seven years old this year. After graduating from high school, he began to work hard in society. He works and studies hard every day. It can be said that his current knowledge reserve is much stronger than that of most undergraduates, let alone experience. .
But it is still far from enough to buy a house in Shanghai. Even now, they have not saved a down payment.
Especially after my son was born, the idea of buying a house in Shanghai became less and less popular.
Many times he thought about escaping from the magical city and living in a small city, where he would at least not be tired.
But every time this time, he would think of his deceased mother and his deceased father who had never met him.
For so many years, my mother's only thought was to settle down in the city, not for the city's registered residence, nor for the future of the two brothers, but just to wait for that man.
Even though she already knew that he had encountered a shipwreck when he returned by boat, he was still alive in his mother's heart.
This city holds the best memories of my mother and him!
They met, knew each other and fell in love in this city.
For this father whom he had never met before, Zhang Sicheng's emotions were actually very complicated.
Everything he knew about his father was from his mother's mouth, and in his mother's mouth, his father's image was extremely tall.
It seems that in the eyes of his mother, his father is omnipotent. Although over the years, deep down in his heart, he has already admired his father, whom he has never met before.
When they were young, his mother would often say some things that his father had said. At that time, to him, they were just fantasy. Even when he was still young, he knew that his father seemed to be dreaming.
For example, when they were still going to supermarkets and stores to buy things, their mother said that in just a few years, they would be able to buy things online and have them delivered to their homes in one day.
While they were still looking at others using mobile phones with envy, their mother said that all these mobile phones would be eliminated in ten years at most.
When they were still drooling in front of the restaurant, their mother said that in more than ten years, as long as you place an order on your mobile phone, someone will deliver the prepared meal to your doorstep.
... ... ...
He used to think that these things were used by his father to deceive his mother, but when society began to develop rapidly, he discovered that all of this had actually come true!
He could hardly imagine what great achievements he would have achieved today if his father had not been in trouble at that time!
But these are all just illusions. Their dead father disappeared without a trace in a shipwreck twenty-eight years ago.
... ... ... ...
"Honey, I'm back." Zhang Sicheng calmed down downstairs before going upstairs, trying his best to hide the fatigue on his face.
"Dad, you're back." The first person to greet Zhang Sicheng was his son Zhang Xiaotao. The little boy is six years old and is entering the first grade this year.
"Where is your mother? She's not back yet?" Zhang Sicheng said after changing his shoes and picking up his son.
"Well, mom is working overtime tonight." Zhang Xiaotao said.
"Okay, let's just spend the evening together, let's talk, what do you want to eat? Dad's treat." Zhang Sicheng said with a smile.
"Oh yeah, Dad, I want to eat chicken steak, especially spicy, and I also want to drink Coke." Zhang Xiaotao said excitedly when his father said this.
It seems that parents all over the world are the same. When mom is at home, there are basically strict rules on what can and cannot be eaten, and no one will refute it.
But as long as the mother is not at home and the father takes care of the children, the taboos set by the mother will be forgotten in an instant.
"Okay, dad will place the order now." Zhang Sicheng responded with a smile on his face.
After placing the order, he first sent a message to his wife. His wife Liu Lu is a nurse and often works night shifts due to the nature of her work.
"Dad, when are we going to go play with Sister Susu? I miss Sister Susu so much." Zhang Xiaotao lay on his father's lap and said expectantly.
Zhang Sicheng's expression suddenly turned bad, but he quickly put it away, "My sister is not at home recently, shall we go visit Sister Susu to play again after a while?"
"Well, I have saved a lot of money to buy toys for sister Susu." Zhang Xiaotao said happily.
The sister he mentioned was the daughter of Zhang Sicheng's biological sister. Thinking of his sister Zhang Siyan, Zhang Sicheng's face turned ugly. What he hated most now was that he was incompetent and failed to stop the marriage at that time.
The takeaway came quickly, arriving in about ten minutes. The father and son quickly took the fast food box, then looked at each other, laughed and started grabbing food.
"Dad, let's eat while watching cartoons." Zhang Xiaotao said expectantly.
Such a thing would never be allowed when my mother was around.
"Okay." Zhang Sicheng agreed.
Then the two of them were watching TV and eating. When the meal was finished, the cartoons just ended and it was the commercial time.
"Dad, I've finished my homework. Can I go to bed later tonight?" Zhang Xiaotao was a little pushy.
At this point, Zhang Sicheng rarely agreed. He said with a straight face: "No, if you go to bed late, you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and your mother will scold you then."
"Okay, then I'm going to take a shower first." Zhang Xiaotao walked away unhappy.
When Zhang Sicheng saw his son going to take a shower, he casually started to adjust the channel, planning to wait until his son finished taking a shower before he could go to bed.
But soon, his body that was lying lazily on the sofa suddenly became stiff, and his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he had seen something that shocked him extremely.
At this time, the news was being broadcast on TV. It was today's news about the Destiny. At this time, the country had recognized the accuracy of this news.
Zhang Sicheng didn't react at first, but soon, he seemed to be frozen, because the name "Goddess of Destiny" was always deeply remembered in his mind. This was something his mother often talked about.
Zhang Sicheng's hands began to tremble, and he subconsciously wanted to call his sister to verify with her whether there was something wrong with his memory.
In fact, he knew that if the matter was true, then his memory was absolutely correct, because over the years, very few cruise ships had accidents, and there was only one such incident like the Destiny cruise ship.
Zhang Sicheng just wanted to reassure himself, or it was a subconscious act out of disbelief.
However, he found that he couldn't get through, or no one answered.
Just like that, he sat stiffly on the sofa for half an hour, not paying attention to the other news on the TV at all. He didn't know what to do or what to think.
It wasn't until Zhang Xiaotao came out of the bathroom and asked worriedly when he saw his appearance that he came back to his senses.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xiaotao asked worriedly. The little guy was very sensible and knew what happened to his father.
"It's okay, Taotao, you go back to bed first. Dad won't be with you tonight. Dad is busy with work." Zhang Sicheng reluctantly stopped his thoughts and said.
"Okay, dad, don't be too tired." Zhang Xiaotao said sensibly.
"Well, you go to bed." Zhang Sicheng forced a smile.
As soon as his son left, Zhang Sicheng immediately started searching for information about the Destiny on his mobile phone.
Now the Internet is full of information about this, with photos and names of all members of the Destiny.
At first glance, Zhang Sicheng saw the name that had been lingering in his ears but had never been seen before: Zhang Ran!
