“Did my mom ask you to call? Tell my mom I’ll go back right away, go back for a blind date!” Hao Zhenhua’s voice was choked with tears, making Hao Yunyang feel frustrated.
Looking around, Hao Yunyang seriously answered: “Bro…”
“Don’t, I can’t stand you calling me like that. Let me talk to my mom, I’m convinced, truly convinced!” Hao Zhenhua’s tearful voice grew stronger, with a hint of guilt: “Really, completely convinced!”
“There’s only me here,” Hao Yunyang scratched his face: “Really, your mom isn’t here.”
“…” Hao Zhenhua was silent for a long time: “I’m your son, so let me talk to my mom.”
“How many times do I have to tell you? Your mom is not here with me,” Hao Yunyang said solemnly: “Really, I swear, if my mom is here, I’ll be your son!”
“My mom, really isn’t here?” Hao Zhenhua was very hesitant: “Can you tell me what date it is today?”
“Hmm, it’s October 13th, 2009. National Day was 12 days ago, the grand military parade. Did you watch it? It was spectacular. It would be a shame if you didn’t see it!” Hao Yunyang answered casually.
“…” Hearing Hao Yunyang’s response, Hao Zhenhua went silent, quietly doing something.
“Pity I don’t have time or money, otherwise I’d really want to go to Beijing to see this spectacular military parade, and see Jiang and Secretary Hu!” Hao Yunyang continued talking to himself without any self-consciousness: “Although I can only watch it on TV, and it’s on a 15-inch black and white TV borrowed from the landlord. By the way, from your tone, your family seems quite well-off. You must have watched it on a big color TV, right?”
“…”
“I guess so,” Hao Yunyang chuckled: “My mom once told my fortune, said in this life I’d just manage to get by. When I save enough money, I’ll first buy a color TV for home, and I won’t buy from the Japanese or Koreans. If I buy, I’ll buy domestic!”
“…”
