Chapter 20 Parents
"Girl, the incense offered to the ancestors will be different depending on whether you are sincere or not during the worship!" Zhao Shi explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shi was stunned.

He looked at his daughter, his brows furrowed slightly.

The temple priest
Huang Gong Temple!
Zhao Shi thought of the huge statue and the temple floating in the void that he saw last night.

"Yan'er, do you know that temple priest?" After thinking of that possibility, Zhao Shi asked excitedly.

"We know each other!"

"I just met him when I first bought incense to pray to the gods. The temple keeper's surname was Huang, and he was said to be a descendant of Mr. Huang."

Zhao Yan'er looked at her father with some confusion, thought for a moment and said.

"Uh"

"All right!"

Zhao Shi was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. Besides, it was naive of him to expect anything from a girl who seldom went out.

However, he vaguely felt that his guess was correct.

if that's the case
Thinking about it, Zhao Shi felt a little excited.

Ling'er, Yan'er, and those who bought incense to pray to the gods didn't notice anything wrong, so it was just like a real person.

Wife and children are hot.
How can I not be excited?

Zhao Shi discovered that he could travel to this strange world again, especially since he had his wife and children in this strange world. Zhao Shi suddenly felt like he had found a sense of belonging.

Making a fortune by reselling materials from other worlds is secondary to him now.

Nearly twenty years of being in a daze and almost out of touch with society have made him feel a little alienated from Blue Star. This alienation may change with the passage of time.

"Brother Shi, I have already told Grandma Chen." Jiang Ling'er came back in a hurry soon.

"Okay! After everyone comes to pay their respects, I will upgrade the ancestral spirit barrier!"

Zhao Shi nodded, and after he finished speaking, his figure began to fade and eventually disappeared.

The other world during the day is relatively safe for the mother and daughter.

Of course, that doesn't mean that world is safe.

chaos!
Very messy!

However, the deterrent power of the Song family martial arts school is still quite good, and the gang will not offend the person who is suspected to be in the Bone Tempering Realm for the sake of a small tavern.

After Zhao Shi returned to his own world, he hesitated for a moment, then went out, got on his electric bike, and walked into the night.

Sell ​​gold!

This is now his only source of income.

This time, Zhao Shi did not go to the chain gold shop where Chen You worked, but to a small gold recycling shop on the street.

There are small shops like this in urban villages.

No questions asked, no invoices requested, the only drawback is that the price is a little lower.

Selling gold went more smoothly than he had expected. The same amount of gold beans was sold for only 20,000 yuan in a small street shop.

When I got home, it was only around ten o'clock in the evening. In the other world, ten o'clock in the evening was considered late at night, but on Blue Star, the nightlife had just begun.

Few people, young or old, go to bed before ten o'clock.

Zhao Shi held the phone, hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the phone and dialed.

He hasn't called his parents in the past few days.

He fears!
I was afraid that if I told my parents, I would get sick again and make them happy for nothing.

I was also afraid that if something happened to him in the other world, something would happen to him on Blue Star too.
It's more of a feeling of not knowing how to face one's parents.

It can be said that for him, the ancestral home of his parents was sold. Having no home and no roots means that the two of them don’t even have a final destination.

And he was the instigator of all this.

Guilt.

Unspeakable guilt.

Now he has figured it out. Whether it is good or bad, he needs to tell his parents.

In fact, the one who suffered the most over the years was not him, but his parents.

That kind of hopeless torment, especially when your own son has forgotten you, that kind of pain can only be experienced by parents.

When Zhao Shi saw the mother and daughter coming back in a hurry today, his heart was clenched. At that moment, he thought of his parents, the parents who had always given without asking for anything in return. She was nearly sixty years old, and should have been planting flowers and raising grass, but she worked as a laborer at a construction site like young people during the day, and set up a snack stand at night.

For nearly twenty years, in addition to paying off debts, his parents also sent him more than 100,000 yuan. One can imagine how his parents have survived all these years.

Drop. Drop.
The phone just rang two or three times, and the other party picked up.
"Son, son, how are you? Did you eat well? Are you tired?"

After the call was connected, an old and tired woman's voice was heard on the line.

The voice was choked and a little excited.

Before the woman finished speaking, an equally old and tired voice whispered, "Old woman, please speak slowly. Don't scare the child! Have you forgotten that the child doesn't remember us?"

It was fine when I didn't call.

But at this moment, hearing the voice on the phone, Zhao Shi couldn't help but shed tears.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!" The person on the other end of the phone saw that there was no sound after the call was connected, and she immediately became anxious and asked repeatedly while choking with sobs.

"Give it to me, old woman, give me the phone and I'll tell you," the man next to him who had just spoken said anxiously. After a moment, the man's steady and thick voice rang out on the phone, saying: "Son, have you encountered any problems? Tell your parents. There are no obstacles in this world that cannot be overcome! Even if there are, your parents will smooth them over for you!"

Zhao Shi vaguely heard his mother crying on the other end of the phone.

Listening to his father's words and feeling the father's love as high as a mountain, although he is nearly 40 years old, in his parents' eyes he will always be the child who has not grown up.

Zhao Shi tried hard to calm down and said in a trembling voice: "Mom and Dad, I am cured."

"It's okay, don't worry about the disease. The country's technology is advancing with each passing day. Mom and dad are saving money. When we have enough, we can go abroad for treatment."

Zhao Guoqiang, who was on the other end of the phone, heard his son talking about his illness and consoled him carefully.

"Huchi. Huchi"

But before he could finish his words, he stood there in a daze, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

"Son, son, what did you just say?"

"What's wrong?"

After a moment, the man's incredulous voice sounded on the phone.

"Dad, what's wrong with my son? Don't scare me!!"

When the woman saw her husband's appearance, her face changed drastically. She grabbed the man's arm in fear and asked anxiously.

"Dad, Mom, I'm cured."

"Not only did I get better, I also remembered everything that happened before!"

Zhao Shi took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Really?"

"real!"

"Ha ha."

“God has eyes!!”

"Old lady, old lady, my son has recovered from his illness and can remember us now."

"Great, let's go. We won't be setting up the stall today. Let's go home and call Lao Wang and Lao Zhang to celebrate together. They have helped us a lot over the years!"

When Zhao Guoqiang confirmed that his son's illness was really cured, he laughed wildly.

Laugh without restraint!

Laugh heartily!

As I laughed, tears started to flow.

But he was still smiling.

He wanted to laugh off all the frustration and depression he had experienced over the years.

At this time, Zhao Shi's mother also reacted.

After being stunned for a long time, she grabbed the phone from her husband's hand and tremblingly said to the phone, "Son, son, is that you? You, you are really well, you didn't lie to me!"

"Mom, I'm really fine"

"My son is fine, he's really fine"

Zhao Shi quickly comforted his mother.
