Chapter 2 Call from Furukawa City(1/2)

An hour later, Yao Feng was dressed neatly and sat in a KFC store not far from home.

Because it was Saturday, there were not many people in the store during this period, and many seats were empty. Yao Feng sat by the window, with the laptop he carried with him on the table, but his eyes looked at the entrance from time to time.

Aunt Qin was an old neighbor of the past, and later moved out of the winery dormitory building. Aunt Qin's daughter and Yao Feng were classmates in high school. The two families were very close to each other and they often contacted each other even after moving out. Some time ago, they met Aunt Qin on the street. The latter heard that Yao Feng didn't have a girlfriend yet, so he enthusiastically said that he wanted to introduce one to Yao Feng.

Yao Feng is very concerned about this matter.

He will be twenty-eight years old in another half a year and should have found a girlfriend. Many of his peers like him have become fathers.

Singles understand that life is not easy to live as a ‘dog’, and Yao Feng has other reasons to urgently find a girlfriend in addition to this.

He was dumped!

First love, seven years of long-distance running, and it is unforgettable.

After trying to keep him, he was even more hurt, especially the other party's words, "I can't rely on money and can't be reliable, what do you want you to do?", which made Yao Feng make up his mind that he must find a better one, and then let everyone know, and the most important thing is to let the woman who dumped him know.

Because of this reason, in fact, Yao Feng often went on blind dates more than a year ago, including relatives and friends, but it was strange. It has been more than 20 girls in the past year, but he has not succeeded in one go. Either he looked down on others or he looked down on him. According to the proportion, the latter type accounts for the majority.

Yao Feng felt that he was really "unreliable without money" and was definitely doing it.

It is said that Aunt Qin introduced her to her good conditions this time. She is beautiful and has a good job. She has a household registration in this city and her parents have jobs, not only houses, but also cars.

According to Aunt Qin, this is the best.

So what about the best?

Yao Feng has long been a veteran in the blind date industry, and maintaining a normal mind is an ability that people like him must master.

In this case, when meeting, you usually choose places such as fast food restaurants and shopping malls. Buying a drink in these places is not worth much money. Moreover, because there are many people, it is not embarrassing to meet strangers. You can chat with each other when you see each other. If it doesn’t work, just take a break and go home.

Simple and direct!

The agreed time for meeting was nine o'clock in the morning, and Yao Feng came a while ago. Today he was wearing jeans, clean shoes, a white shirt and a casual jacket, and he was very sloppy from top to bottom.

It was still early, Yao Feng withdrew his gaze and typed a few lines of code on his laptop.

Because of the nature of the work, even when Yao Feng is resting, he still needs to rush the project to type the code. This is the sadness of the coder. Especially recently, the situation in the company is a bit special. It is said that Yao Feng’s project team needs to be greatly modified because of the bad reputation of the internal trial version, which undoubtedly increases the workload. Moreover, if the next internal review meeting is not passed, the project will most likely be cut.

If that is the case, the people in the project team will be disbanded, and salary cuts are all good, and the worst ones may not be able to save their jobs.

Yao Feng has not had a break on Saturdays and Sundays. This time, even if he is resting at home, he still needs to complete a certain amount of work.

At this moment, Yao Feng's hand speed was quite fast. As soon as he typed a few lines of code, there was a private chat message in the company's internal work group.

He is the leader of Yao Feng’s project team.

Sister Ling: Yao Feng, there are problems with the difficulty and content of the last level design. I will give you three days. At the latest, before work next week, I will redesign the last level and reply ok when I see the message.

Yao Feng: OK!

In the project team, Sister Ling is the boss and Yao Feng is the second. The main reason is that Yao Feng is a unimaginable character. He knows programs, knows original paintings, and plans the game. It is also the result of Yao Feng’s struggle over the past few years.

Their project took six months, and these six months were not short, and almost all the finished products were made, but there was a problem in the internal review of the company. However, Yao Feng knew very well that it was not the problem with their project, but the company's funds were currently a bit tight. Another project team suddenly wanted to increase the budget. It can be imagined that the cake was so big, and if others wanted to eat one more piece, someone had to give up one piece.

Sister Ling’s project team is obviously the “weak chicken” who was bullied.

But Sister Ling is strong-willed and can't swallow this. She must compete for the next review meeting. Sister Ling is good to the team members on weekdays, so no one can lose the chain at this time.

Yao Feng took things off, not because he was stupid, but because he had a plan to design the last level. At this moment, he opened the special editor and Yao Feng began to modify it, and everything was done step by step.

Time passed quickly. Yao Feng looked at the time at this time. It was almost the time agreed with the blind date partner, but the other party didn't even see anyone.

It's already nine-fifteen.

"I don't have the concept of time!" Yao Feng frowned.

But it is so unfair in the world. When a man is late, he does not abide by time and has no concept of time. On the other hand, the woman can find a hundred reasons, and you can't be serious, otherwise you will say that you are narrow-minded.

Yao Feng didn't care about this either. He just waited for a while and it was nothing, so he continued to modify the code.

At this moment, Yao Feng's cell phone rang.

Thinking it was the blind date caller, Yao Feng hurriedly took it out and saw a strange number whose place belonged to "Kukugawa City".

After the call was connected, the voice of a man came from the phone.

"Hey, is it Yao Feng?"

The voice sounded strange, and Yao Feng felt a little disappointed. Could it be a scam call?

"Who are you?"

If it is a house promotion or other harassment call, Yao Feng will hang up.

"That's great. After asking around, I finally found your number. Yao Feng, I am your Uncle Zhang, your former neighbor, have you forgotten?"

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously very happy, and he could tell from his tone.

Uncle Zhang?

Hearing this, Yao Feng's memory suddenly emerged.

When he was a child, he lived in Kokawa City, the big yards he lived in were all bungalows. There were more than a dozen families in the yard. Uncle Zhang lived in the household at the entrance of the yard. He was very familiar with his father and had a native dog at home. Yao Feng often took the dog out to play.

Yao Feng even remembered that dog was barking Dahuang.

Although these memories have slowly emerged with Uncle Zhang's voice, and the childhood scenes also came into view, as if they were yesterday.

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!" Yao Feng said hurriedly, his tone becoming much more familiar.

But he was a little surprised. What did an old neighbor who had never been in contact with him more than ten years ago suddenly call him?

Could it be that they were looking for their father?

This is possible. Uncle Zhang and his father had a good relationship and often drank and brag together.

"Uncle Zhang, are you looking for my dad? He has not been in Linshan City for this time..." Yao Feng said on the other end of the phone: "If you don't look for your dad, you're looking for you..."

After pausing, Uncle Zhang seemed to lower his voice: "Yao Feng, see if you can come to Fuguawa City today."

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhang?" Yao Feng heard something was wrong.

To be honest, Linshan City is not far from Fugu River. If it were used to be a green train, it would take two or three hours. Now it is an hour to drive. Even if it is a train, due to the coverage of high-speed railways, more than one hour will be enough to go to the station.

It’s just that Yao Feng and his family have no relatives in Furukawa City, so they basically don’t go back, mainly because they are too lazy to run away.

Uncle Zhang on the other end of the phone was obviously hesitant and kept asking Yao Feng to go back, but Yao Feng was not a child. The more he said that, the less he felt. He would definitely not be able to do without asking clearly.

In the end, there was no way to tell me, Uncle Zhang had to say: "Yao Feng, do you still remember the old man Li in the Wangchuan Tower in Xiaoshishan?"

When Yao Feng heard this name, he also had a figure in his mind. He was an old man who looked in his seventies, with a hunchback, wearing an old green military uniform all year round. He was old-fashioned and serious. He lived in Wangchuan Building, which was said to be specializing in taking care of the ancient building.

Because the yard where I lived when I was a child was very close to Xiaoshi Mountain, and the children liked running up and down the mountain, so when I was a child, Yao Feng and the friends in the yard often ran to Xiaoshi Mountain to play, and Wangchuan Tower was on the top of Xiaoshi Mountain, so I must go there frequently.

It is also because of this that Yao Feng and his friends met Old Man Li who visited Sichuan Tower. Of course, in most cases, Old Man Li was chased out with a stick, and a group of children ran down with laughter. Old Man Li chased him from behind and cursed. Such scenes are often performed in Xiaoshishan.

They are all unforgettable childhoods.

The so-called "no fight" will not be known, because if you fight guerrilla warfare with Old Man Li, you will inevitably be caught. However, although Old Man Li looks very fierce, he is really good. At most, someone will stand there and scold him. The children are not really afraid of him.

Yao Feng and Mr. Li were more familiar with each other, but it was caused by an accident.

Once, Yao Feng was playing in Xiaoshishan and accidentally fell down from a high place. He fainted at that time. It is said that Old Man Li saved him.

Because of this, Yao Feng remembered that his father took him to buy pastries and brought a bottle of loose wine to Wangchuan Tower to thank Old Man Li.

Later, Yao Feng often went to Wangchuan Building to play with this relationship. Old Man Li would sometimes prepare some candy for Yao Feng. In his spare time, he would teach Yao Feng to play chess and tell some stories.

The past is vivid in my mind.

To a certain extent, Old Man Li is his life-saving benefactor or an elder.

Of course, Yao Feng remembers it very clearly.

And the next sentence from Uncle Zhang on the phone made Yao Feng’s heart thrill.

"Old Man Li may be old. He got cold and was seriously ill some time ago. The doctor said it was just a matter of breath. Now people are confused, but they just mutter your name, so I called you..."

Yao Feng understood.

If you think about it carefully, Old Man Li should have been in his seventies more than ten years ago, but now he is probably almost ninety.

Although he is not a relative, or even a neighbor who meets every day, just for the life-saving person, the old man still remembers himself and wants to meet again, Yao Feng feels that he should go back too.

In addition, Yao Feng was thinking about finding time to go back to Fuguawa City, and when he encountered this incident, he might as well take this opportunity to go back.

"Yao Feng, if you come back, try to get earlier. Old Man Li will probably not last long!" Uncle Zhang instructed.

Yao Feng said, I'll book tickets now, and Uncle Zhang said, "I'll pick you up at the train station."

Now it's fine, it won't work until I go back.

Yao Feng hung up the phone and opened the mobile app to check the tickets. The result was just right. There was a train in an hour. He now took a taxi in the train station for more than ten minutes. Now he bought it and was able to catch up.

After buying the ticket, Yao Feng saw that the blind date girl had not arrived yet, shook her head, packed up her computer and walked out.

It went very smoothly. Yao Feng took a taxi to the train station and got on the train in advance.

The location is good, right by the window, and even more lucky, a beautiful woman came up next to her. Yao Feng took a few glances and his side face was beautiful.

The car drove, and Yao Feng's cell phone rang.

Aunt Qin called, and after answering, Aunt Qin asked Yao Feng where he was, saying that the girl could not find anyone when she arrived at the place, and Yao Feng had no choice but to explain the situation briefly. After all, there was a real urgent matter.
