Chapter 19

As the phone ringing rang, I gradually woke up from my sleep. I picked up the phone next to the pillow and stared at it. It turned out that it was a call from my wife Chen Xue. It seemed that there was a signal on my wife at this time. In order to miss this rare opportunity, I quickly answered the call from my wife.

After answering the phone, I was the first to say to my wife, Dear wife, you finally called the phone. Why did the call suddenly disconnected last night?And after the wire was disconnected, I tried to call you again, but found that your phone was turned off, which made me worry about you.

Then my wife's voice came from the other side of the phone, and my wife explained to me on the phone, "Dear husband, I'm sorry!"This is how it is. Because the rescue vehicle has not stopped in the middle of the journey, we spent the past three days in the car and there was no place to charge the phone. When we were talking to you last night, the battery ran out. I was worried that you would be anxious and borrowed the phone from Mr. Niu, but Mr. Niu didn't have a phone at all. He said that the phone signal in the mountains was very unstable, so there was no way. I could only charge the phone first, and it was relatively late at that time. I didn't know when the phone would have a signal, so I could only wait until the charge was done and call you the next day.

After listening to my wife's explanation to me on the phone, it turned out to be the same as I guessed. At this time, I felt much more at ease and responded to my wife. So that's it. As long as I know you're fine, I feel relieved. By the way, my dear wife, are you still used to living there?

Because of everything that happened last night, in order to avoid the long nights and dreams, so that I can feel completely relieved, and not let my wife notice my abnormality, I asked so casually.

Then my wife said to me on the phone, hehe, what can happen to me? I slept soundly last night. Maybe it was because I hadn't had a good rest during the journey these days. Although the living environment is not as comfortable as home, judging from the current mountainous situation, Mr. Niu is still very good here, but it has caused a lot of trouble and inconvenience to Mr. Niu.

After hearing my wife's words, I did not rush to ask directly, but first gave my wife a careless eye and said to her as if she was calm. Who told you to go so far alone? As your husband, how could I not worry? The environment in the mountains must be difficult. My dear wife, you have to take good care of yourself. And why did you cause trouble for others on the first day of your trip?

Then my wife explained to me again, OK, OK, I know you care about me very much, I will definitely take good care of myself, so you can rest assured, my dear

When I heard this, my wife could understand my good intentions, I was also instantly happy, but I did not interrupt my wife's next words because of a moment of happiness.

Then my wife continued to say to me, Husband Ah, Mr. Niu’s house is very small, with only one outer room and one inner room. In addition, the inner room where he sleeps and rests only has a very small earthen kang, which is only enough for two people to lie down and rest. In order to take special care of me, Mr. Niu lives in the outer room and builds a floor shop.

The moment I learned the reason, my heart beat in response, immediately reminding me of the dream I had before, and it was exactly in line with the house in my dream, which surprised me very much. Could it be that the dream was heralding me?

But I didn't think much about it, because I never believed in superstitious things, so I think it was nothing more than a coincidence.

As I imagined briefly, I said to my wife out of pretending to be polite. So that's the case. It seems that Mr. Niu is a kind-hearted person. But is it a bit rude to let Mr. Niu sleep on the ground? After all, Mr. Niu tried to keep you inhabited with kindness, so you didn't...

Just as I was halfway through my words, my wife immediately interrupted me.

Then my wife hurriedly explained to me that I knew it was impolite to do this. For Mr. Niu's enthusiasm, how could I have the nerve to let Mr. Niu sleep on the floor of the outer room? And Mr. Niu is already fifty-two years old, and I am twenty years older than me. Although Mr. Niu looks very strong and does not look old at all, Mr. Niu is older after all, so I did not agree to Mr. Niu's arrangements. Instead, he humbly asked Mr. Niu to live in the inner room due to etiquette. However, Mr. Niu said that this was not good and inconvenient. In the end, Mr. Niu insisted on living in the outer room. Seeing that Mr. Niu was so firm, I did not do humbly.

Although my wife interrupted what I didn't finish, just after I heard my wife's tough explanation, since my wife might think I was blaming her, I decided that it would be more appropriate to keep the words I didn't finish just now and not say them. After all, I would not agree with my wife's approach at all. How could I let my wife sleep with that old man? It's just that for the sake of good etiquette, I said to my wife. In short, I can't say nothing. Even if I say it, it's just to deal with my wife. After all, my wife is a person with higher education.

Then I followed my wife and said, "I said, how could my wife bear to let Mr. Niu go to the floor shop?" Since Mr. Niu thought so carefully for you, you should get the kindness of others."

After hearing my words, my wife calmed down her little excitement just now and said to me, Humph, I really think your wife is a child. I miss your wife for so many years. I still have this basic etiquette and common sense, but it is winter coming, and the weather will get colder and colder. I am worried that Mr. Niu will be unable to bear it when he lives in the outer room like this.

When I heard this, I didn't know how to answer my wife's words. I couldn't persuade my wife to call Uncle Liu to live in the house, and I couldn't say anything. Moreover, I had no time to think about it. I had to reply to my wife's words immediately. In this short few seconds, I had an idea and thought of a way to avoid this topic, which was to pretend that I couldn't hear what my wife said, so that my wife thought it was a signal and was unstable, so that I could not answer my wife's worries. Then I pretended to say to my wife on the phone, "Hey, wife, I can't hear what you said. There is no sound on your side, is there no signal again?"

After I finished saying these words, I took the initiative to hang up my wife's phone, which would give my wife an illusion, that is, the sudden disconnection caused by unstable signal. Because my wife and I had this situation before, my wife would not notice any abnormalities at all, and then I had enough time to think about the topic just now. I should be able to think of a solution before my wife calls again.

After that, I began to think of ways to deal with it while waiting for my wife's phone call to call again. But I don't know how long I have been waiting for this, but I never waited for my wife's phone call.

Did it happen that my wife really had no signal, which caused her to be unable to call, or was it because of my pretending to be disconnected, which made her mistakenly think that the signal was bad, and she did not choose to continue calling me. At this time, I was once again in thinking.
