I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

"Mom, last time I asked you to mail a letter, did you mail it to the right place? It's been more than half a month, why haven't you replied yet?" Banggeng complained to his mother.

He was extremely anxious now! Ever since his wedding house was snatched away by He Daqing, his girlfriend Tang Yanling almost fell out with him. He had to coax and deceive her to get away with it.

He has already told Tang Yanling! He has a younger sister who was separated from him when he was young, but now they have contacted each other. She is now a celebrity in Hong Kong's upper class society. She lives alone in a large villa with a group of servants at home.

When his younger sister comes back, let alone a wedding house, it would not be a bad idea to buy him a commercial house of about 100 square meters.

He was obviously bragging! Tang Yanling didn't believe it at first, but she asked someone near No. 95 Siheyuan to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, the news she got turned out to be true!

The story of Huaihua has been widely spread in Nanluoguxiang. As the rumor spread, Huaihua is about to become the granddaughter of the richest man in Hong Kong.

Tang Yanling's attitude changed immediately! She even wanted to move up the wedding date and not pick a wedding room. The west wing of the central courtyard was converted into their wedding room, and Jia Zhang was driven into the back room to live with Sha Zhu and his wife.

But Banggeng was really uncertain. It had been almost twenty days since he sent the letter, and not only had the person come back, but there was not even a reply.

"I did everything you said and put enough stamps on it before stuffing it into the mailbox. If they didn't receive the letter, could it have been lost on the way?" Qin Huairu asked uncertainly.

"I told you to call, but you insisted on sending a letter. It would be much easier to just call, but you had to go far away. Otherwise, we would have contacted Huaihua long ago!"

Banggeng was immediately furious! He was still waiting for Huaihua to come back and support him at the wedding! But twenty days had passed and he hadn't even contacted a single person.

"Let Xiaodang write another letter and send it over! I don't believe it won't be received, unless Lou Xiao'e gave a fake address." Jia Zhang said viciously.

Now Jia Zhang lived in the outer room of the back house, which made her feel uncomfortable all over. It was as if she had returned to the pre-liberation era overnight!

"Whether the address is fake or not, you can just make a phone call to find out. Aren't you just trying to save a few dollars? As long as you can contact Huaihua, these few dollars won't mean a thing!"

Banggeng still encouraged them to make the call! After the call, Huaihua went home immediately. This is so convenient!

Qin Huairu went into the back room and took out the note written by Lou Xiaoe last time. She looked at the string of numbers on it, international code + country or region code + area code + phone number. She almost fainted.

"How can there be so many numbers? Is Lou Xiao'e playing a trick on us?"

Bang Geng took it and looked at it. He still had some good eyesight. "It's an international call! The number must be different from the one we called. Let's go to the post office together."

The three of them left Nanluoguxiang and headed towards Dongzhimen Inner Street, where there was a post office branch where they could make long-distance telegrams.

When the staff at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau heard that they wanted to call Hong Kong, they took them to a booth-like area where there was a phone on the table.

Qin Huairu dialed the wrong number several times. She was so anxious that she snatched the phone and dialed the number on the note.

"The phone is connected! Mom, please answer it."

When he heard the long "beep~", "beep~" tones coming from the receiver, Banggeng suddenly became excited. He quickly handed the phone to his mother Qin Huairu and asked her to talk to Huaihua.

"Hello! Hello. Is Lou Jingyi here? Did she go abroad? When will she come back? When she comes back, please tell her that her mother asked her to go back to the city. Okay, bye!"

As soon as Qin Huairu hung up the phone, Bang Geng couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Is the phone number correct? What did the other end say?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and said with a frustrated look: "The phone number is correct, but she is abroad. The person who answered the phone didn't know when she would be back, so I can only ask you to tell her."

"As long as this number is hers, it'll be fine! We can call again in a few days, and we'll be able to contact her eventually." Bang Geng was relieved! As long as the contact information was correct, there would be no problem finding Huaihua.

The three of them went to the counter to pay the phone bill. Unexpectedly, the post office charged them 6.5 yuan for just a 20-30 second call. Jia Zhang was so distressed that her face twitched!

"Don't make these calls anymore! Just write letters first. Since the phone number is real, her address can't be fake either."

Jia Zhang cursed all the way! This post office is really cruel. They charged them so much money for just two sentences.

As the three of them stepped into the gate of No. 95 courtyard, they saw Yu Shui pushing a bicycle out of the yard.

"Sister-in-law, where are you coming back from?" Yu Shui asked curiously when he saw the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered together.

Jia Zhang snorted coldly, ignored He Yushui, and walked into the yard with a stick. This Yushui actually recognized He Daqing, which meant that he was an enemy of their Jia family.

"We went to the post office to call Huaihua! Are you here to see your father again?" In front of others, Qin Huairu was always gentle and virtuous. She simply couldn't ignore others.

"My dad can do everything else except washing clothes clean. I only come here once every seven or eight days to help him wash and rinse. I have to go to the afternoon shift." After saying this, Yu Shui hurriedly rode his bike to work.

Now, her father is back! She originally hated He Daqing, but after a long talk with his father, she understood He Daqing's difficulties.

Her father was right! The culprits of all this were the deceased deaf old lady and the uncle Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

She saw with her own eyes that Yi Zhonghai came over, knelt down to admit his fault and asked for forgiveness. He also returned the living expenses that her father had mailed to her for many years. He also pushed all the responsibilities and faults onto the deceased deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady caught him and threatened him, so he had no choice but to obey her orders.

Among all the younger generations in the courtyard, the deaf old lady thought that Sha Zhu was the most compatible with her and believed that only Sha Zhu could take care of her in her old age. As a result, it turned out to be true!

Now, Sha Zhu and his father He Daqing are like water and fire. Both of them treat each other as air and don't even give each other a glance.

Sha Zhu was still close to his uncle Yi Zhonghai. After Yi Zhonghai's wife passed away, he couldn't cook, so he lived with Sha Zhu's family. He paid Qin Huairu a monthly living allowance, and Qin Huairu also took care of all the household chores.

Another week passed, and Banggeng secretly took his mother Qin Huairu to make another international long-distance call without telling her.

The result was the same as before, Huaihua had not come back from abroad. Banggeng was so angry that he almost smashed the phone at the post office!

He couldn't wait! He had to get married next week. Now, he had already boasted. It would be embarrassing when the time came!

"Mom, do you think Huaihua doesn't want to come back? She deliberately asked someone to say that so that she wouldn't answer our calls." Banggeng guessed.

Qin Huairu's heart also "clicked"! She tried hard to recall what her little daughter looked like before, but the memory left to her was very vague, and she could no longer remember what Huaihua looked like.

They were thousands of miles apart, and as long as their little daughter didn't want to come back, they had no way to help. They couldn't just send Jia Zhang to Hong Kong to bring Sophora japonica back, right?

Jingyi was very relaxed at the moment! After being busy for a while, Sister Lijun came back and temporarily lived in her villa.

Today, Sister Lijun’s good friend Tan Yonglin returned from Formosa, and she went to Kai Tak International Airport to pick him up.

In 1978, the Wynners disbanded and Tan Yonglin went to Taiwan to make movies. Now that he sees the Hong Kong music scene is thriving, he has returned to the Hong Kong music scene.

Jingyi also wanted to meet this legendary figure, so she accompanied Sister Lijun to the airport and met the real Tan Yonglin for the first time.

"Ah! You are Lou Jingyi, also known as the music princess. What a pleasure to meet you!"

Tan Yonglin is not tall. He is 31 years old this year. He is sunny and smiling.

"Ah! You are Cameron, one of the Wynners. Nice to meet you, too."

Jingyi wanted to laugh when she saw him! Like Sister Lijun, this guy also had the potential to be funny.

The Porsche drove towards the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel. Cameron was talking all the way, and Jingyi couldn't help asking him why he named the band the Wynners?

Cameron laughed at first, and then told them a ridiculous answer.

When the five-member band was formed in 1971, it was originally called the Losers Band. In 1973, the band participated in a music competition, but was eliminated in the preliminary round.

They walked out dejectedly and found a registration form for the Wynners at the door. The five of them discussed it and went back in with the registration form to participate in the competition.

The result was that they won the first place in the competition. So they were called the Wynners.

Jingyi laughed so hard that she almost cried. What a funny bunch!
