Rebirth: 1977

'Jingle Bell. Ding ding ding, the phone rang all the time.

Grandma Ding's body shook a little but she didn't move.

Yin Tianshui took the phone and said "hello" politely. The other person spoke Mandarin with a "southern accent and a northern accent", and his tone was suppressed and excited:

"Hello, may I ask, is this Mr. Yin Tianshui?"

"It's me, who are you..."

"I am Ding Dafu, is my mother with you?"

Yin Tianshui quickly shouted politely:

"Hello, Uncle Ding, this is Yin Tianshui. Grandma is waiting for your call. I will give her the phone right away."

"Grandma, here, this is my uncle named Dafu. Please talk to him."

Yin Tianshui handed the microphone to Grandma Ding.

Grandma Ding took the phone with trembling hands and shed tears before she said a word:

"Afu, I am Mom."

Yin Tianshui sat aside and heard two people shouting "Mama" excitedly through the microphone.

'Mama' is the dialect of Pingcheng.

Seeing the unstoppable tears on Grandma Ding's face, Yin Tianshui gently patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"Grandma, remember my words, don't get excited, and have a good conversation with your two uncles.

I'll get you a towel to wipe it with. "

The person on the other end of the phone must have heard Yin Tianshui's words and immediately calmed down.

Yin Tianshui didn't particularly want to hear what mother and son had to say. He just wanted to accompany Grandma Ding, fearing that something might happen to her if she got too excited.

He went out and twisted a hot towel and gave it to Grandma Ding.

The two sides were already communicating calmly.

We all know some rules, so what we say is nothing more than asking about our respective lives at the moment.

No one mentioned anything about the 'past'.

"Don't worry, you can live your life well. I have Xiaoshui and his family taking care of me, and I am in good health now.

Xiao Shui said that he can give us a chance to talk on the phone next time. "

Grandma Ding actually has nothing to say here. Her son just wants to know that their mother is 'alive' and is still living well.

Just like that, my son's heart felt at ease.

As for their common relative, 'Ding Bancheng', both parties knew very well that he was gone.

How did you die?

How was he treated before his death?

How did Grandma Ding survive? These are taboos and no one will ask.

Grandma Ding was reminded by Yin Tianshui, so she kept silent on some sensitive topics.

The other party talked a little more, of course, that is to say, about their family life and how many people there are in the family now.

Tell Grandma Ding that they have become grandfathers and she is already a 'grandmother'.

After talking for fifteen minutes, I don’t know what else to say?

Grandma Ding was the first to propose:

"Afu, Akun, that's all for today.

Mom will feel at ease as long as she hears your voices.

If we have another chance to talk on the phone again, let me hear my grandson's voice, okay? . "

Grandma Ding has two sons, one named Ding Dafu and the other named Ding Dakun.

The other party also knows that the call cannot last too long, and the only wish they can achieve now is to hear their mother's voice.

Other things you want to know, no matter how 'troublesome' they are, you can't ask.

"Okay Mom, please give the microphone to Xiao Shui and we will have a few words with him."

Grandma Ding took the microphone and asked Yin Tianshui, with tears in her eyes:

"Xiao Shui, they want to say a few words to you, is that okay?"

Yin Tianshui smiled faintly and took the phone, "Of course, grandma, please drink some water to moisten your throat and wipe your face first."

Then he shouted politely into the microphone:

"Hello uncles, grandma said you are a little older than my parents.

That's what I call you.

If you have anything to say, please say it. "

"Xiao Shui, my mother called you this, and we will call you this.

Thank you for saving my mother, thank you! "

Another voice came closer to the microphone: "Thank you, Xiao Shui!"

"My two uncles don't need to thank me. They can only say that grandma and I are related.

I grew up as an orphan. After I had my grandma, I had an elder.

Don't worry, I will take good care of her life and body.

If I have the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong Island on business in the future, how can I contact you? "

Yin Tianshui didn't care what the eavesdropper was thinking. Anyway, he would definitely find an upright reason to go to Hong Kong Island.

"Will you have the opportunity to come to Hong Kong Island on business?"

It was Ding Dakun's voice of surprise.

"Yes, if we can meet on Hong Kong Island, I can take some photos of grandma and bring them to you.

You should also take a few more family photos in advance so that grandma can see your whole family. "

"Okay, okay, we have our own house on Hong Kong Island, right in Repulse Bay. You'll know where it is just by asking when you get to Hong Kong Island.

I'll give you my home phone number, give us a call before coming.

Even if we are away, there are still servants and housekeepers at home. They will contact us promptly.

Our house number is: *****"

Yin Tianshui was not afraid that anyone would listen, so he immediately agreed:

“I’ll remember it and will contact you in advance before coming.

That’s it for today.

Next time I have a chance, let grandma talk to you. "

After hanging up the phone, Yin Tianshui acted as if nothing had happened and didn't take it to heart at all.

Hearing Ding Dafu mention that they lived in 'Repulse Bay' made him think about the house on Hong Kong Island.

At this time, the housing prices there were not high. It would be a good investment to buy a few ready-made villas there or buy land to build one yourself.

What do Ding Dafu and Ding Dakun do?

Yin Tianshui didn't know, nor did he deliberately try to understand.

But last time he heard, it was their status that prevented them from entering the mainland as 'Hong Kong businessmen'.

So, it means that their real place of residence is not in Hong Kong Island.

Yin Tianshui didn't think too much about this issue. As for the cause of 'identity', with the reform and opening up and the gradual extension of society to later generations, sooner or later it will no longer be a problem.

Director Ding, who was in charge of monitoring in the living room, became uneasy when he heard Yin Tianshui's words behind him.

"Huanwen, how could Xiaoshui get involved in the Ding family's affairs?

If we report what he said truthfully, will it have an impact on him?

Maybe it will end his political life? ! "

Director Ding's concepts were from the early days, and he was indeed frightened.

Lei Huanwen was also surprised. He didn't expect that Yin Tianshui would finally make an agreement with the Ding family?

"In this case, let's discuss it with Xiao Shui alone and see what he thinks?

Logically speaking, he knows that we can hear what he says, and he also understands that we must report it.

Why doesn't he avoid it? "

In fact, the so-called monitoring by the two of them was clear. Long-distance calls coming from abroad had to pass through several checkpoints.

Even if Director Ding wanted to 'show favoritism', he wouldn't dare.

That's what worries him the most.

It was a thigh that he finally hugged. The relationship between the two parties has not been consolidated and stable. Could it be...

Lei Huanwen was less worried, but he also guessed in his mind, didn't Yin Tianshui know the consequences of doing this?

But thinking about Yin Tianshui's other identity, I had other speculations in my mind.

As for 'discussing', it was just a polite word, nothing more than telling Yin Tianshui that they must hand over the phone recording.

If there are any consequences, they cannot change them.

Director Ding sighed and complained helplessly:

"The call between mother and son was normal, and it ended like that, and we were all happy.

Alas... I just want Xiao Shui to step in..."

Yin Tianshui walked out and happened to hear Director Ding complaining, and looked at him calmly:

"Director Ding, you don't have to be embarrassed, just report how you want.

I - I have my own sense of proportion. "
