Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Because he appeared on TV, Tang Zhilong's rapid rise could no longer be hidden from his fellow villagers. In his thirty-plus years of life, this was the first time he realized that he had so many relatives.

At first, Tang Zhilong would patiently listen to the other party trying to establish a relationship, listening to a few words like "I remember the old days" or "When you were a kid". Later, he simply changed his mobile phone number. Who would have thought that there were so many talented people among his relatives in his hometown, and that a third uncle who came from a distant place brought his own grandson and sent his son to him from thousands of miles away.

When Ji Shumiao saw the boy with a buzz cut in Tang Zhilong's new home, he had a vague premonition that it was this ungrateful boy who had caused so much trouble to Uncle Tang and Aunt Lin in his previous life.

The boy was about the same age as Ji Shumiao, with dark skin, an arrogant look, and the whites of his eyes were protruding and scary.

"Come, come, Miaomiao, come and sit down. Bring your little rabbit stool over here as well." Tang Zhilong greeted her with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, both of you come and sit down."

All members of Ji Shumiao's family came out today to warm up the house for Tang Zhilong and Lin Shan. In addition to them, some familiar friends of Tang Zhilong from Beijing also came today.

Lin Shan came out of the kitchen with washed fruits and invited everyone to drink tea and eat fruits. As she spoke, she put a large plate of fruits on the coffee table and stuffed another bowl into Ji Shumiao's arms. The bowl was full of her favorite strawberries and dragon fruits.

Ji Shumiao held the bowl and thanked Lin Shan with a smile.

Today, only Ji Shumiao and Bai Yanlang, two children, and Ji Shulang, a teenager, were here. No one would compete with a little girl for the fruit. Everyone was talking about the decoration of the house, its location, and the environment in the community.

"Hey, the decoration was done by the developer. Shanshan and I are not picky people, so we just bought some second-hand furniture and moved in." Tang Zhilong said modestly, "I owed a lot of debt to buy this house. I can't even afford to buy a TV or anything like that right now."

A friend of Tang Zhilong joked: "You said in front of us that you can't afford to sell TVs. Are you hinting at something?"

Tang Zhilong took advantage of the situation and said, "If you insist on buying it for me, I have no choice but to accept it, right? Let's not be polite!"

The adults laughed loudly, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, digging up each other's dark history.

Ji Shumiao shared two strawberries with Ji Shulang beside him and whispered, "If eyes could become real, I would be covered in wounds."

That ungrateful guy has been glaring at Lin Shan ever since she gave her a bowl of fruit.

Ji Shulang stared back with disdain, and only sneered when the ungrateful man hurriedly avoided his sight.

Ji Shumiao smiled and stuffed the biggest and reddest strawberry into his palm. Ji Shulang stuffed it into her mouth: "I don't like this, you eat it yourself."

As it approached twelve o'clock, Tang Zhilong and Lin Shan invited everyone to have dinner at the restaurant at the entrance of the community.

Tang Zhilong: "I'm really sorry, our house is too small and we can't move it. Please move it. We'll go eat and then come back to drink tea and play cards."

Ji Shumiao was half full after eating some fruit. He wiped his mouth, stood up and followed everyone out. Everyone gathered at the entrance, putting on their coats and scarves.

Ji Shumiao noticed that the Third Uncle and the ungrateful man were both wearing new down jackets and cotton shoes. He heard Lin Shan and Qin Rong whispering, "They came here wearing quilted jackets and were shivering in the cold at the door. I couldn't stand it and bought them clothes, shoes and socks. The Third Uncle was sure that we were attracted to his grandson and he insisted on staying at home."

"Don't you like it?" Qin Rong asked in a low voice.

Lin Shan frowned unhappily: "What are you looking at? When they come home, their eyes are rolling around. Even a fool can know why they come here."

Yes, Ji Shumiao thought, in the previous life they adopted the ungrateful wolf not at this time, but two years later.

Since Tang Zhilong and Lin Shan knew everything, there was no need for her to mess it up.

There was a private room on the second floor arranged by the hotel, which was filled with two tables of people, one table of people drinking and one table of people not drinking. The only exception was that ungrateful person who was dragged by his grandfather to sit at the drinking table.

During the meal, the third uncle kept complaining about how the family was poor, had too many children, and couldn't afford to raise them. But the people present could see that Tang Zhilong and his wife had no intention of adopting the child, so they all tacitly ignored him.

Ji Zhenhua raised his glass and said, "Come on, everyone, let's have a drink to celebrate Old Tang and Lin Shan's new home."

Everyone stood up and clinked their glasses enthusiastically.

"Xiao Tang, moving to a new house is a happy event, why not double the happiness?" The third uncle began to make his point clear, "I heard that you two don't have any children, so how can that be possible? It just so happens that the child's parents..."

"Yes! Third uncle, you reminded me!" Tang Zhilong interrupted him and turned to ask Ji Zhenhua: "Zhenhua, Shanshan and I both like Miaomiao very much. Can we ask her to recognize us as her godfather and godmother?"

After he finished speaking, he asked Qin Rong at another table loudly: "Sister Rong, can you please give me an answer?"

Ji Shumiao, who was chewing a pig's trotter, looked up blankly: "Ah?"

Why is it still her business?

Lin Shan hugged Qin Rong and threatened with a smile: "Hurry up and say yes, or you can't leave today!"

Seeing this, others also started to cheer and advised that this was a great thing that would double the happiness and strengthen the relationship!

The poisonous looks from Third Uncle and White-Eyed Wolf almost burned through Ji Shumiao.

Qin Rong glanced at Ji Zhenhua and said, "Ask Miaomiao if she is the one who wants to call you mom and dad. If she is willing, we will be happy to do so."

Ji Shumiao wiped his lips and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Lin Shan quickly helped him up: "What are you doing? We don't like that!"

"Godmother!" Ji Shumiao called out in the sweetest and crispest voice, and after that, Lin Shan called out to Tang Zhilong loudly, "Godfather!"

"Hey!" Tang Zhilong answered quickly and loudly.

Lin Shan's eyes were red with joy, and she hugged Ji Shumiao tightly and shook him. Tang Zhilong took out a thick red cloth bag from his arms, stood up and stuffed it into Ji Shumiao's arms: "My godfather's good daughter, take this."

This is already prepared!

Ji Shumiao took it with both hands: "Thank you, godfather! Thank you, godmother!"

Even if they didn't kowtow, they still had to offer tea. Ji Shumiao offered the tea happily, and Tang Zhilong and Lin Shan couldn't stop laughing amid the jokes and cheers from everyone.

The only two unhappy people present were the Third Uncle and the ungrateful guy, but no one cared about their thoughts.

The group of people drinking couldn't finish their food in a short time, so they smoked some cigarettes. Ji Shumiao thought the smell in the box was bad, so he took his coat and went out to get some fresh air.

"How fucking shameless!"

When going down the stairs, Ji Shumiao heard the boy's scolding behind him. The ungrateful boy had a ferocious look on his face and was cursing.

Ji Shumiao held the handrail of the stairs, turned around and said with a smile: "Who is shameless? I didn't travel thousands of miles to beg."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Whoever calls me is the one I'm talking to."

Before Ji Shumiao could finish her words, she saw the ungrateful man take two steps at a time and suddenly pushed her down.
