In fact, with the assets in Mei Fang's account, it is more than enough to buy a mobile phone now. However, mobile phones are not easy to hide, and it will be very troublesome if his mother finds out and asks about it; secondly, he doesn't have anyone to contact.
As for communicating with Xia Yuanlin and Youxi, they usually either call the landline or go to their homes. Their homes are so close that it is always convenient to meet. As for the mobile phone, Mei Fang still wants to wait until everyone has this plan before considering buying one.
Mei Fang dialed Lin Youxi's home number, but there was only a busy tone on the other end of the line.
"Can't get through?"
Xia Yuan tilted his head and said, "Could it be that Youxi has guests at home and doesn't have time to answer the phone? My family is very busy during the New Year."
"Not sure, let's try again later..."
As soon as Mei Fang finished speaking, the phone he had just put down started ringing.
"Hello... Is there Xi? Oh... It's Teacher Yu."
Mei Fang often confused how to address Xia Yuan's mother, switching back and forth between Aunt Xia, Aunt Yu, and Teacher Yu. Finally, Xia Yuan's mother decided to let Mei Fang call her Teacher Yu, which was smoother.
"Mei Fang, is our Yuanyuan at your house now?"
"Yes... I'll let her talk to you on the phone."
"No need, just ask Yuanyuan to come back soon. Her grandma is back today."
Xia Yuan heard her mother's voice from afar on the phone, and quickly stood up and took the phone from Mei Fang:
"Grandma? Did she come back alone? Shouldn't Dad pick her up tomorrow..."
"It is said that she came back in her sister's car, saying that she wanted to give you a surprise..."
"Grandma's little sister..."
Xia Yuan looked stunned, exchanged a few words with his mother and hung up the phone.
"My grandma is back. I can't play with you today."
"Oh, nothing."
While Xia Yuan was packing up the hat, scarf, gloves and bags that she had left at Mei Fang's house, she said to Mei Fang, "Call You Xi later to ask about her, or go to her house directly. If you have any questions, just call me. I'll be home at that time."
"Brother!"
Mei Ya pulled Mei Fang's arm and muttered, "Can I go to Sister Yuanyuan's house to play?"
"Yuanyuan has guests at home, why are you causing trouble..."
"Well, I don't mind."
Xia Yuan extended his hand to Mei Ya and said, "Since you have finished your homework, if you are too bored at home, you can come to my house to play. We should have a lot of relatives coming today, including two brothers and sisters who are slightly younger than you."
"I'm going, I'm going! I love playing with children the most! I want to let them appreciate the mysteries of science!"
Meiya also shouted the slogan of her favorite children's program, gesticulating as she shouted: "Science Bubbles, use your hands and brain, observe carefully, and explore the mysteries!"
Mei Fang knocked on his sister's head, "You can go if you want, but you can't cause trouble for Sister Yuanyuan. Don't touch things at Sister Yuanyuan's house. It will embarrass our Mei family, understand?"
Mei Ya was instilled with the impression that her sister Yuanyuan's family was very rich since she was a child, but she had never been to Xia Yuan's house. After hearing Mei Fang's warning, she immediately became serious, "Xiao Ya understands! Dad also told me that the things in Yuanyuan's house are very expensive. Even if Xiao Ya is sold, they can't afford the compensation."
"Ah Fang, please don't exaggerate about our family!"
Mei Fang was happy to let Xia Yuan help him take care of his sister so that he would have more time to tackle the difficulties of the Golang language.
In his previous life, he was not a programming expert. He just roughly knew what language his company's programs used.
Thinking about it now, the difference between golang in 2009 and 2022 may be very big. At least it is quite difficult and thankless to learn it now.
Mei Fang had just turned on the computer when he suddenly became concerned about Lin Youxi.
Normally, he would come to my house very soon, or call me if he didn't come...
How about... going directly to Lin Youxi's house
It’s not far anyway.
After making up his mind, Mei Fang quickly took action, changed his boots and went out to find Lin Youxi at her house.
Is it true that there are guests at home
Mei Fang cleared his throat and seeing that there was no one around, he knocked on the door of the yard and called out Lin Youxi's name.
In 2008, when there was no contact information, people would just call to find someone. This is actually what primary school students love to do, and it feels quite embarrassing.
At this moment, the door of Lin Youxi's house opened, and out came Lin's father Lin Guochuan.
"Mei Fang... are you here to play with You Xi?"
Mei Fang nodded, "We made an appointment to play together today. I called Youxi just now but no one answered."
"Ah? Is that so... There must be something wrong with the phone line. We didn't hear any sound."
"Youxi isn't home?"
"She just went out. Maybe she was going to look for you. Didn't you meet her on the road?"
"Hmm... No, I'll go back and take a look."
"If you see her, please tell her... Well, Dad will respect her wishes, but I hope she can have a good talk with me."
Respect... her wishes
Mei Fang was about to ask what was behind this when a woman in her 35s appeared behind Lin Guochuan. She gave a very gentle initial impression, a common image of a girl next door, but with bright and beautiful eyes. However, her nasolabial folds seemed a bit deep, and her hands were always placed in front of her body, giving off an indescribable sense of embarrassment and sadness.
Mei Fang didn't think much about it or ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Hello, Auntie."
The aunt seemed a little surprised, but also nodded to Mei Fang.
"Is this child a friend of Youxi?"
"Well... He is Youxi's best friend. His name is Mei Fang. He often plays with Youxi."
"I see..."
"Then, Uncle Lin, I will go back to look for Youxi."
"Well, okay, please."
call…
After leaving Lin Youxi's house, Mei Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
He was an adult after all, and he knew the various reasons as soon as he heard the situation and the words.
I didn't expect Uncle Lin to remarry at this time.
I don’t know whether Lin Youxi experienced these things in her previous life, and whether she finally accepted the existence of such a stepmother.
However, based on what Mei Fang knew about Lin Youxi in this life, he knew that she would never accept it.
Is this also considered triggering a change in history
In her previous life, Lin Youxi probably did not have the opportunity to earn money to buy an electric car for her father. Perhaps it was because her father felt that his daughter was too sensible but he had no time to take care of her, and he fell into self-blame and guilt, so he considered finding a new mother for her.
Mei Fang went home and looked for Lin Youxi along the way, but did not find her.
Youxi in our family is the kind of child who wouldn't sneak off to play alone.
If I think from Youxi's perspective, since she didn't come to me for help when she encountered difficulties, then the only place she could go is probably that place...
Mei Fang sighed silently in his heart, then immediately took action and stopped a taxi along the way.
"Hello, driver, please take me to the Heavenly Cemetery, thank you."
