Mom must have waited for her all night, not getting any sleep.
"Xiaozhi." Seeing her, Chen Zhi's mother showed a happy smile.
Chen Zhi approached and explained, "Mom, I wanted to come over yesterday, but I got called in for a performance at a party last-minute, so I didn't make it. Did you wait for me for a long time? Next time, if I can't make it, you just rest, and please don't tire yourself out."
Chen Zhi's mother smiled kindly, "It doesn't matter, I spend all day lying down anyway, and actually find it harder to sleep at night."
Chen Zhi took out the new phone she bought and handed it to her mother with a smile, "Mom, this is for you. From now on, we can contact each other by cell phone."
"What do I need this for, when the landline at home is fine?"
Chen Zhi knew her mother wanted to save money; even the home landline was only used to call her, the monthly bill never exceeded twenty yuan.
