The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles.
It was Xiaofang's mother, Lu Shufen, who found Xiaofang missing, a retired elementary school Chinese teacher.
Yuan Xiaofang was admitted to the Normal University and became a people's teacher because of her mother's influence. Her dream since she was a child was to be an excellent people's teacher.
The only thing in Baoshi Village that can communicate with the outside world without walking is the village head's phone, but the village head's phone can only be answered but not made.
It's not that you can't make calls, but this kind of phone is just a kind of phone that is convenient for communication between villages.
Hitting can only be done to the village head's house in each village.
There is still a difference from the public telephone in the town. It often crosses the line, and the big speaker in the village will broadcast it vigorously after receiving a call, which means that there is no privacy at all.
So, one weekend before the summer vacation, Xiaofang went to the town to call her mother.
The content of the call is very simple, that is, after the holiday, I will go to the provincial capital to have a meeting with a group of classmates I haven't seen for a long time, and then go back home.
Out of concern for her daughter, Lu Shufen asked her daughter the specific return date.
The daughter told herself on the phone that July 12 will be a holiday, three days of traffic time will be avoided, and then two days of gatherings with classmates in the provincial capital.
If there are no unexpected arrangements at that time, it should be home on July 17.
The daughter has always been an obedient child, Xiaofang told her mother that if there are other arrangements, she will call home again.
On the fifth day of the summer vacation, also known as July 17, Lu Shufen did not see Yuan Xiaofang who was supposed to go home.
This day is the daughter's 25th birthday, and the daughter also promised to go home to spend her birthday with her parents.
On this day, she stood on the platform of her hometown town, looking forward to see through, as the cars from the provincial capital passed by one after another.
From the morning to the evening, I didn't see my girl.
The daughter did not return home within the appointed time, nor did she call home to report her safety.
This more or less made Lu Shufen a little uneasy.
But Xiaofang's father, Yuan Chenhua, didn't think so. He believed that when his daughter was older, it was normal for young people to have fun together and forget to call home.
Besides, my daughter spent so long in the mountain where the birds don't shit, it's okay to go back to the city and have fun for a few days.
Yuan Chenhua persuaded his wife that as a parent, her daughter should learn to let go.
But as a mother, Lu Shufen did not feel relieved.
There is a saying that no matter how old children are, they are just children in the eyes of their parents.
Because of the long distance, her daughter Xiaofang went to Baoshi Village thousands of miles away after the Spring Festival. Apart from calling back occasionally to say hello, she hasn't seen her baby girl for more than half a year.
To be honest, I miss it very much.
The daughter went to teach in the mountains thousands of miles away. Her husband, Yuan Chenhua, has not retired yet. He is alone at home, so it is inevitable that he will think wildly.
I have been looking forward to the arrival of summer vacation for a long time. When my daughter returns home, the two of them have a companion.
As an excellent people's teacher, Lu Shufen has no objection to her daughter Yuan Xiaofang's teaching.
What she objected to was that her daughter had gone so far.
Xiaofang's father, Yuan Chenhua, was firmly against it. In order to respond to the one-child policy, the husband and wife had only one child, Xiaofang. Before graduating from university, the old couple wanted the girl to return to teach in the middle school in the town and stay by their side.
Ten thousand steps back, Xiaofang's father said: "It's okay to support education, but where can't it be? Why go to such a far away place, and usually I can't see each other if I want to."
The old father said it was up to him, but his daughter knew that what she had decided was that eight cows could not be pulled back.
I thought that my daughter would come back after a few months at the shortest, and half a year at the longest.
Unexpectedly, the girl couldn't help it, the girl has been away for two years, and she has no intention of coming back.
Every time, it was spring when my daughter left, and it was already summer when she came back, and it was autumn when she left again, and it was winter when she came back.
Ever since her daughter made that phone call, Lu Shufen has been in a state of excitement, tidying up her daughter's room and buying a lot of things her daughter likes to eat.
She went to Baoshi Village once and saw that her daughter's living environment was a hundred times more difficult than she imagined. She secretly wiped away tears that time.
Before she went to Baoshi Village, she didn't believe that such a remote and poor place existed in China.
My daughter is 167 in height and weighed 110 when she graduated from university.
However, after going to Baoshi Village for a semester, I lost 20 catties, and the living conditions can be imagined to be difficult.
After that, as a mother, she never went to Baoshi Village again, she was afraid of facing everything there.
The salary of her daughter's teaching support is not high, but she also uses most of her salary to support the poor students in the class.
There are very few people who really use it on themselves.
In 2000, mobile phones began to become popular in cities.
Before her daughter came back, Lu Shufen deliberately picked out a popular mobile phone as a birthday present for her daughter.
This is also convenient for me to contact my daughter. When I miss my girl, I can hear her voice immediately.
However, on her birthday, her daughter Xiaofang did not come home.
At first, she followed her husband's words, but she didn't care. After all, her daughter was young, and she had stayed in that almost isolated village for so long.
After returning, she needs to get in touch with her classmates more and accept new things.
However, another two days passed, and the daughter still did not come back.
Two days later, Xiaofang's father, Yuan Chenhua, who was working in the town finance office, finally felt that something was wrong, and his words made Lu Shufen worry again.
Yuan Chenhua said: "That's not right! Although our girl is a bit willful and stubborn, she is not ignorant. If she doesn't come back, she should call home. It's been two days, and there hasn't been a phone call. It doesn't seem like Her style!"
Another reason that makes her uneasy is that she has been dreaming in the past few days, dreaming that her daughter Xiaofang is standing at the door of the house and knocking on the door, but when she opens the door, no one is there.
Lu Shufen became flustered, and after several phone calls, she finally reached Xiaofang's college classmate Wang Qin.
After this phone call, Lu Shufen started to feel dizzy, a stream of blood rushed to her head, and she fell down on the sofa.
Wang Qin said that before the holiday, Yuan Xiaofang did contact her and asked her to get together with some close classmates.
Unexpectedly, even though all her classmates had been contacted, Xiaofang, who was supposed to appear, never appeared.
However, on the phone, Wang Qin still comforted Lu Shufen, saying that Xiaofang is an adult after all, and nothing will happen, and she will help her to ask her classmates to see if there is any news.
Sitting on the sofa for a long time, Lu Shufen came to her senses and called the Dahe Town Government.
The person who answered the phone was a man who said he could ask for help. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
