Chapter 265 Primacy Effect
Only a person who has experienced suffering can truly understand sympathy.

Although the task given by grandma was very strange, Yu Fan still did it because he believed that grandma would not harm him.Moreover, it has been more than 20 years since the move, and Yu Fan is no longer the kid who is still scared.

Yu Fan nervously dialed Aunt Lu's phone. The phone beeped...beep...beeped, but no one answered it until the familiar artificial voice "Sorry, the number you dialed was not answered". Fan Cai hung up the phone.

Did you change your number?Or is the phone number given wrong?Yu Fan guessed.

When Yu Fan was about to call again, the call came from there: "Hello? Who are you?"

This voice is very familiar. Aunt Lu's voice has not changed at all for so many years. Yu Fan picked up the phone and responded: "Hello, Aunt Lu, I'm Yu Fan. I don't know if you still remember..."

"Is it Xiaofan? Are your grandparents okay?" Aunt Lu rushed to ask.Unexpectedly, after so many years, Aunt Lu still remembers this old neighbor.

Yu Fan: "Grandpa and my aunt's family are in Canada now, grandma... four years ago, she left."

"Ah!! Aunt Zhang, she!!! Why is it so sudden?" Aunt Lu looked very excited.

Yu Fan: "..."

It took a long time for Aunt Lu to calm down and asked, "Is that why you told me this? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yu Fan: "Actually, it's not. When I was sorting out grandma's belongings today, I accidentally found a letter. Grandma asked me to give it to you myself."

Aunt Lu: "A letter? What letter?"

Yu Fan: "I'm not too sure. You'll know when I meet you. Is your address No. 20, Building No. [-], Baiyun Community?"

Aunt Lu: "Yes."

Yu Fan: "Okay, then I'll come over after lunch, around two o'clock."

After Yu Fan made an appointment with Aunt Lu.Putting the remaining few books on the table, he was going to do the things grandma told him one by one, leaving the surprise at the end.I took out the letter from the "Confessions" in the bookcase and went back.

I went home at noon and had a simple meal. Only my mother was at home, and my father went to the factory to deal with some things.During the meal, my mother's mouth never stopped, and she kept asking Yu Fan how he lived these years.Yu Fan also answered one by one, this is not talking about helping Chen Xiangyang, not mentioning a word.

After eating, Yu Fan left for Aunt Lu's community.This neighborhood is better than the family neighborhood where I used to live with my grandma. I don’t know how Aunt Lu has been doing these years, or if she still lives alone.

At the door of Aunt Lu's house, Yu Fan pressed the doorbell, waited for more than ten seconds, but no one opened the door, Yu Fan pressed it again, and waited for a while, but still no one opened the door.Strange, could it be that I misremembered the room number?Yu Fan confirmed again, yes, it is indeed this house.I looked at my watch again, it was exactly two o'clock, what's going on?Not at home?

Just when Yu Fan was about to ring the doorbell for the third time, the door opened...

In front of Yu Fan was a "pretty gorgeous" old lady.Why do you say it's a show of beauty?Because this 60-year-old aunt actually wore a gorgeous dress, which was a little thin in the cold weather, but she still had heavy makeup on her old face, and a thick foundation on her face, just like a smear Like a layer of putty, this gave Yu Fan goosebumps.

Aunt Lu still dresses herself according to the standard of a young girl, but the years are not forgiving. Aunt Lu's body is tilted to one side, and she can only lean on the wall to maintain her balance.

Seeing that Yu Fan kept looking at her, Aunt Lu smiled and said, "Fanfan, what's the matter? It's been so many years, don't you know Auntie?"

Yu Fan also said awkwardly but politely: "Oh, auntie, um, I haven't seen you for many years, by the way, what's wrong with your leg?"

Aunt Lu patted her legs and said, "Two years ago, our unit organized a dance competition for us retired workers, and we fell during the performance. By the way, don't stand at the door stupidly, come in quickly."

Aunt Lu limped and strenuously walked into the house, beckoning Yu Fan to come in too.Yu Fan suddenly understood that he called Aunt Lu for a long time in the morning and no one answered. In fact, it might be because of his inconvenient legs and feet, and he didn't have his mobile phone with him, so it took a long time to move.It took so long to open the door after entering the house and ringing the doorbell, is it also because of inconvenient legs and feet?
It's really embarrassing, as long as Yu Fan went upstairs and hadn't reached the door, Aunt Lu would always rush out and "block" Yu Fan.Now, even if Yu Fan rang the doorbell, she could only move slowly to open the door.It's really a sky and an earth.

Yu Fan entered the room. The room was not too big, but it was very clean and had a petty bourgeois atmosphere.There is also a faint aroma of coffee in the room.Judging from the items in the house, she should be living alone. There is only one drinking glass on the table in the house, the shoe cabinet at the door has only women's shoes, and the photos in the cabinet are only her.Unexpectedly, even though her legs and feet are inconvenient and she lives alone, Aunt Lu's quality of life has not deteriorated at all.

Aunt Lu began to exchange pleasantries: "Fanfan, where do you work now?"

Yu Fan: "Oh, I work in XA City, and I haven't been back for a long time."

Aunt Lu began to sigh with emotion: "Oh, time flies so fast, you are so big in a blink of an eye. The last time I saw you, you were still so young." Aunt Lu gestured with her hand. "Are you married? Have you bought a house in XA? How much is your salary?"

What should come is still here, Aunt Lu's set of "eight women asking three times" is still so annoying to Yu Fan.

This is the "Prime Cause Effect" in psychology. The "Prime Cause Effect" was proposed by social psychologist Asch in 1946 through experimental research.Primitive causes are the "first impressions" that you make in your mind when you meet someone or something for the first time. The "primacy effect" refers to the influence or effect of our "first impression" on our subsequent understanding of people or things in the process of knowing them.

Yu Fan's first impression of Aunt Lu is always so annoying, so Yu Fan feels disgusted by Aunt Lu's behavior, so that Yu Fan also instinctively hates people who behave similarly to Aunt Lu.

Yu Fan didn't answer Aunt Lu's question, but went straight to the point: "This is a letter that grandma asked me to send to you." Yu Fan just wanted to finish this task as soon as possible, and then go back as soon as possible.

Aunt Lu was also very puzzled, and said, "Why is Aunt Zhang writing to me? Why don't you call me if there is something wrong?"

Both Yu Fan and Aunt Lu were full of curiosity about this unusual letter.

Aunt Lu twisted the envelope, carefully opened the seal, and pulled out the letter paper from inside.Open.

The letter paper was clean, and three large characters were written on the head: "Letter of Apology"!
Yu Fan and Aunt Lu looked at each other blankly.The four eyes are confused...
