Noah's eyes turned red with unshed tears. "Mother, I'm sorry. I can't even invite you to attend your own son's wedding."
His mother laughed forgivingly. "It’s fine, my dear son. As long as you’re doing well, I'm happy."
After a pause, she asked again, "Tell me, what is the name of the hotel where your wedding ceremony will b e held?"
Noah immediately answered, "It’s right here in South City, it’s called the Grand Sage International Hotel, it's a very famous hotel in South City. Mother, my wedding is definitely the best wedding our village has ever seen, it’s such a pity that you can't attend..."
His mother's laugh deepened. "I'm happy enough as it i s! Alright, son, I’m hanging up now, the phone bill isn't cheap."
"Mom, do take care of yourself."
After ending the call, Noah remained in the phone booth for a long time. Deep down, he was still very unhappy. He recalled the time four years ago, back when he was still in high school. The villagers always teased him because he performed well in school.
"Noah, in the future when you get into university, get a job in the city and marry a city girl, you can't forget your mother!"
"Remember, you can't forget your mother!"
"Noah, two villages away, there's a university student. He got into the most famous university in Kidon City. Four years later, he stayed on in Kidon City to work, and a few years later, he dated a local Kidon City girl, and had a family. But in the end, guess..."
"What happened in the end?" One of the villagers asked.
