妙文啊，你也三十五六了，怎么还不娶媳妇啊？ 阿妈好得很，在泉州也很开心，你干嘛从上海来陪我？  我知道你想我，但是你年纪轻轻不能学老头啊，每天种田。 啊跟你的同学诸葛宏图一起做生意也好啊，你说是不是？ 啊？明天就走？去我老家做生意？哪有人去温州做生意的，都是去外面做啊。  你在睡觉还是在醒着啊？ 我和你说话听到了没有？ 不要说阿妈啰嗦，要不要给你鉴宗叔叔写封信让他给你在省城里谋一份差事？  妙文你有在听吗？  是不是又在装睡？  Miaowen, you’re in your mid-thirties now. Why don’t you get married? Your mother is well and happy in Quanzhou. Why bother coming to visit me all the way from Shanghai? I know you miss me. But you are young. You don’t have to behave like an old man working the fields every day. Why not start a business, joining your schoolmate Zhuge Hongtu? Don’t you think it’s a good idea? What? You’re leaving tomorrow? To my hometown for business? But nobody does business in Wenzhou. People go out for business. Are you sleeping or awake? Did you hear what I said? I don’t intend to be a nag. How about writing to your Uncle Jianzong and asking him to get you a job in the provincial capital? Miaowen? Are you listening? Are you pretending to be asleep?
