Chapter 217 Where is my wife?
With half a month left before the start of the new semester, Zhang Wei returned to his hometown of Qinhai.
In the summer, the coastal cities in the north are quite nice. Except that it gets hotter at noon, it is still relatively cool in the morning and at night. In the evening, it is very pleasant to find a food stall to drink beer and eat seafood.
Zhang Wei returned home this time for two main purposes. The first purpose was to buy a house. Taking advantage of the current cheap housing prices, I bought two sea-view villas on the beach, one for my parents to use for retirement, and the other for myself.
Zhang Wei knew his parents quite well. The old couple didn’t have much ability and they had always lived by themselves. Their relatives, friends and colleagues were all in Qinhai. Even if he took them to live in the capital, they wouldn’t be used to it. It's better to stay in my hometown and live a more comfortable life.
In 2005, real estate had not yet risen, and the price of sea view villas was not expensive, especially in new areas that were well developed in the future. In 2005, they were still suburban areas, and housing prices were very cheap. It is not an exaggeration. That is to say, if you buy it, you will earn it.
Zhang Wei’s second purpose in returning to Qinhai was to find his wife.
In his previous life, Zhang Wei was not very rich, but he also had a happy family. Having a car, a house, a wife, children, and a dog is considered the standard for a happy life.
Although the house is not big, the car is not good, the wife is not beautiful, the children are not obedient, and the dog is lazy and picky, but for an ordinary person, having these in his life is already very good. Satisfied.
If I have any regrets, it would probably be that I left this world early and was not able to grow old with my wife.
After being reborn, Zhang Wei also thought that if he could earn more money to support a few young stewardess models, or even unspoken female stars, it would not be a waste to be reborn.
But gradually, Zhang Wei discovered that deep down in his heart, what he missed most was still his wife.
Two people have lived together for decades, experienced the ups and downs of life together, and tasted the joys and sorrows of life together. The two people rely on each other, understand each other, and accompany each other. This kind of feeling can never be achieved. Replaced by money or desire.
So on a weekend afternoon, Zhang Wei came to that community, the place he had been to countless times in his previous life, and stood at the door of the building with familiarity.
This is his father-in-law’s house. In his last life, he would make more than a hundred trips here every year, coming here once every three days on average. How can he not be familiar with the road!
Compared with the old community in my memory, the buildings here are still relatively new at this time, the greening has just been done, and the surroundings are lush.
In Zhang Wei’s impression, more than ten years later, due to the lack of public parking spaces in the community, all these green areas were eradicated and turned into parking spaces.
Standing at the door of his father-in-law's unit, Zhang Wei hesitated. He did not go up and knock on the door directly. Instead, he waited at the door to see if he could meet his father-in-law's family.
And I don’t know what to say when I knock on the door upstairs. Could it be that I am your future son-in-law? People are not allowed to beat you up as a hooligan, even if they are giving you face!
What's more, my wife is still a high school student and will be a sophomore in high school when school starts in September.
My father-in-law’s family is not local. My father-in-law’s employer is the Railway Construction Group. Due to job transfer, I came to Qinhai City to take root.
This house is also the new campus of China Railway Construction Corporation, and my father-in-law’s family just moved here this summer. Zhang Wei's wife also transferred to a high school in Qinhai City this semester.
It is for this reason that Zhang Wei came here to look for relatives in the third year after his rebirth. Because before this, he didn't know the specific address of his wife's home at all, and even if he wanted to find someone, he couldn't find her.
Zhang Wei waited for a long time and finally saw a family of three walking over. Walking at the front was a man in his forties, taller and somewhat bald. Zhang Wei recognized him from a distance as his father-in-law.
"A bald man does look older. My father-in-law looks almost the same as when I first met him eight years later." Zhang Wei thought to himself.
Behind the father-in-law is naturally the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law, who is in her early forties, looks much younger than she was in her fifties. At least there are no crow's feet around the corners of her eyes.
Next to the mother-in-law, there was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, ordinary-looking, with a bit of dark skin. Zhang Wei looked at him carefully and found that he didn't recognize him at all.
"Isn't he a relative of my wife's family? Who is this neighbor? We met on the road and we came in together?" Zhang Wei thought to himself.
Zhang Wei's wife has two cousins, one cousin and one cousin. Although Zhang Wei and these relatives are not very familiar, they definitely know each other.
Now this young man is not a member of the relatives, he should be a neighbor.
"My father-in-law and my mother-in-law were out for a walk, but why didn't they see my wife? Could it be that she was doing homework at home? Probably not? My wife is a bad student, and her academic performance is not as good as mine!"
< br>Zhang Wei was thinking about whether to go up and say hello to his father-in-law when he heard the young man say: "Mom, I made an appointment with my classmates to play basketball and come back later for dinner."
"Who are you talking to? What are you talking about?" Zhang Wei looked around, there was no one else.
“It’s hot, don’t forget to bring a bottle of water!” the mother-in-law’s concerned voice sounded.
"What's going on? Who is this kid? Why do you call my mother-in-law mom? You can also call me mom? This is clearly what I should call mom! And, my mom, what are you doing? Did you just agree? I am your son-in-law!”
Zhang Wei was stunned on the spot.
A stranger suddenly appeared and called his mother-in-law mom. What on earth is going on? Zhang Wei's brain CPU couldn't turn around for a while.
"Is he my wife's brother? Impossible! I can be 100% sure that my wife is an only child and he has no brothers or sisters! And I have seen photos of my wife from childhood to adulthood, but I haven't seen any Live with this person!
Or is it the illegitimate child of my father-in-law? This is impossible. My father-in-law is a decent man and cannot have an illegitimate child. And there is no way that an illegitimate child can call my mother-in-law mom. !
Isn’t that the illegitimate son of my mother-in-law? How can my father-in-law be so calm and invite someone to his home? < br>
Besides, this young man is about the same age as my wife. It takes ten months to carry a child. If it is really the mother-in-law's illegitimate child, the timing will not be right.
Or is he his godson? This is possible. But I have been a son-in-law for decades, and I have never heard that my father-in-law’s family has a godson. If there is a godson, it is impossible to hide it from me! ”
Zhang Wei was puzzled, and then watched helplessly as this sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man followed his father-in-law upstairs and entered their home.
After thinking for a moment , Zhang Wei decided to find someone to inquire about.
So Zhang Wei ran to the canteen outside, bought two bottles of wine, and then went straight to the community guard room.
The doorman was blowing on the fan and watching TV with his legs crossed. He didn't even notice anyone coming.
Zhang Wei immediately asked with a smile: "Uncle, what are you busy with? I want to ask you something, which building does Director Su live in?"
The doorman did not even raise his head. He continued to stare at the TV and asked, "Which Director Su are you talking about?"
"It's Director Su from the Personnel Office, the one who was just transferred this year." Zhang Wei replied.
Zhang Wei still remembers that when his father-in-law was first transferred to Qinhai City, he was the director of the Personnel Office, so he pretended to be looking for someone and inquired directly.
The uncle raised his head, glanced at Zhang Wei, and found that Zhang Wei was carrying two bottles of wine. He naturally thought that Zhang Wei was here to give a gift,
"Building 5, unit 3, east door on the first floor. "The caretaker finished speaking and continued watching TV.
"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Wei thanked him first, and then asked: "Uncle, Director Su's child should be in the second year of high school! The last time I saw him, he had just entered junior high school! "
"I'm in high school, but I don't know where to go. The young man is quite tall, he must be 1.8 meters. That's up to his father!"
"Young man! ? More than 1.8 meters?" Zhang Wei was stunned, and then asked immediately: "Master, did you remember wrongly? I remember that Director Su gave birth to a girl!" "She is fair and plump. He passes by me every day, how could I remember him wrongly? He is a big young man, a little dark-looking." The uncle replied with an affirmative look.
Young man, you are 1.8 meters tall and a little dark. Isn’t this the right match for the person you just saw?
Zhang Wei frowned, pretending to be confused and said: "Did I remember it wrong? How could I remember that Director Su's child is a girl! How many children does Director Su have?"
"A child, the young man I told you about. Family planning has been in place for 20 years, and only two children are allowed in rural areas, while only children are allowed in cities. You must have remembered it wrong!" He spoke.
"That's because I remembered it wrong." Zhang Wei nodded, thanked the uncle, and exited the guard room.
Zhang Wei did not go to his father-in-law's house anymore. He went to the nearby canteen and bought a bottle of iced Coke and drank half of the bottle in one go to calm down.
"What's going on? My father-in-law is still my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law is still my mother-in-law. How come my daughter has become a son? If there is no daughter, then where is my wife? Is it possible that there are any major secrets in my father-in-law's family? I don’t know?
This is impossible! The family has lived together for decades. I know exactly what the three generations of their family have done. How can there be any secrets hidden? What about me? "
While Zhang Wei was thinking about it, he saw the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man who had just returned home with his father-in-law, strolling out of the community with a basketball in his hand.
“I have to talk to this kid! I haven’t played basketball for a long time. I will pretend to be a passerby for a while, play a few games with the kid, and then treat him to a cold drink or something. I guess I can talk him out of it. Get out." Zhang Wei followed immediately.
However, this young man did not go to the basketball court, but went directly to the Internet cafe!
“This kid said he was going to play basketball, but he went online secretly!”
It must have been a treasonous thing for middle school students to go online at the time, so naturally they went there secretly.
Although the country banned minors from going to Internet cafes in 2005, the inspection of minors' Internet access was not strict at that time. For the sake of profit, Internet cafe owners turn a blind eye to minors surfing the Internet. Many Internet cafe owners even give the green light directly.
For example, a primary school student wearing a school uniform goes to an Internet cafe. The boss knows that he is a primary school student, but he still symbolically asks "How old are you this year?". If the primary school student answers that he is eighteen this year, the Internet cafe owner will They were allowed to access the Internet, which was clearly a cover-up.
When I was really inspected, the Internet cafe owner said, I asked about my age, and he said he was eighteen. This kid lied and had nothing to do with me, in order to avoid responsibility.
For this young man, who is 1.8 meters tall, the Internet cafe owner didn't even bother to ask, and just opened a computer for him.
Zhang Wei quietly walked over and saw the young man playing Fantasy Westward Journey, a very popular game at the time, and started to become a disciple.
So Zhang Wei immediately turned on a computer and sat next to the young man.
While waiting for the computer to start up, Zhang Wei pretended to glance at the young man's computer casually, and then said, "You are also from Laoshan Wonderland. I used to play in this area too!"
"What level are you at?" the young man asked subconsciously.
"Level 109, Dragon Palace, but the account has been sold. Are you playing Lion Camel? How many levels are you at?"
"Well, Lion Camel, it is level 91."
"Already level 91? Why don't you have Guangwu yet?"
"Guangwu is too expensive and I don't have the money to buy it. I'm saving money now. I saw a broken soul yesterday. It was so ugly. , I didn’t buy it. I want to buy a Suhun, that scythe looks very handsome!” the young man replied.
Zhang Wei looked at the young man and then said: "I think you look familiar. I remembered, are you Director Su's son?"
"Do you know my dad?" The young man Clearly showing panic.
"Have you forgotten? I even helped you when you moved! By the way, the TV cabinet in your living room is high on one side and low on the other. Have you fixed it?" Zhang Wei pretended to be familiar with it. asked.
The TV cabinet in his father-in-law's house is high and low. Zhang Wei knew that, and his father-in-law was also frugal. This TV cabinet had been used for more than ten years. After Zhang Wei got married, his father-in-law's family replaced it with a new TV cabinet.
Seeing Zhang Wei tell him that one side of his TV cabinet is high and the other is low, the young man no longer had any doubts and decided that Zhang Wei was an acquaintance of his family.
"Uncle, don't tell my dad that I went out to surf the Internet." The young man said immediately.
"What uncle? I'm a few years older than you, call me brother!" Zhang Wei put on an amiable expression and continued: "Don't worry, just play it safe, I won't tell your parents!"
"Thank you, brother!" The young man breathed out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Wei started to talk in a cliche: "It's boring to play fantasy alone. It takes a long time to form a team to catch ghosts. Don't you have any brothers or sisters? Invite us to play together?"
" I’m not the only one! Most people our age are only children.”
"Director Su, are you the only child?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.
"My dad would like to have a second child, but if he is a superborn child, he will lose his job."
"Then you don't have any cousins? You can ask them to play together!"< br>
“I have two cousins, but they don’t play games. I also have a cousin and a cousin, but they live too far away. I will meet up with my grandpa when I go back to my grandpa’s house on the second day of the new year! "The young man replied.
"If you have a cousin, then Director Su also has brothers!" Zhang Wei asked next.
"Well, I have an uncle, and I want to give it to my aunt. My uncle is a university professor!" the young man continued to answer.
Zhang Wei frowned slightly, wasn't what the young man was talking about his wife's family situation? My wife has two cousins, a cousin and a cousin, and an uncle who is a university professor.
Zhang Wei continued to talk for a long time, and found that the information revealed by this young man was completely consistent with his wife's situation!
The only difference is that my wife has become the young man in front of me? But the wife disappeared out of thin air.
"What's going on? Where is my wife? Isn't this my original world? But my parents, my relatives, my teachers and friends have not changed! Why is my wife gone? ?”
The next second, Zhang Wei thought of the devil. Only the devil could cause such an incomprehensible situation.
"Devil, do you want to explain what is going on?" Zhang Wei asked.
"What's going on?" the devil's voice sounded.
"Where is my wife? Where has my wife gone?" Zhang Wei asked suppressing his anger.
“Don’t you understand yet?” The devil’s laughter suddenly sounded, and then he said: “Do you still remember what I said to you for the first time? You can live again, and the price is You have to give the most important thing in your life!”
