After Collecting the Relics, I Received My Old Number

Lin Jianwei's job is to clean up the room for the deceased. She has seen bankbooks hidden in rice jars, keys sewn into the waistband of trousers, pill boxes and old phones that family members are eager to throw away. She has always believed that relics cannot speak, but the people who leave them behind are the ones who really speak. Until she found a note in Grandma Zhao's old rice cooker. The note contained her mobile phone number that had been deactivated seven years ago, but the date on the back predates her entry into the industry. What's even more strange is that the three green pen marks next to Grandma Zhao's phone are secret codes used by several elderly people living alone in the building. Some people approached them in the name of delivering medicine, checking gas, or collecting old things, and quietly took away medicines, keys, and house power of attorney. When a cut-out medicine board, an old bus ticket and the date of her mother's disappearance were put together again, Lin Jianwei discovered that her mother might have been in this building back then. The last rule left by Grandma Zhao is: Only with three green strokes can the door be opened. But this time, the person waiting outside the door knew her name.
