Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 235 Farewell

Lin Qingyan's face darkened and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Auntie, how can this be called lying with open eyes? If you don't believe me, you can go to the factory and ask if my brother is a good young man?"

"What? Just Lin Sheng? Good young man? It's a joke."

"Aunt, he is not a good young man. Could it be that your Wang Cheng is a good young man?"

When talking about her son, Wang Cheng's mother was very excited and proud.

"Needless to say, my Wang Cheng, I'm not exaggerating, but in this whole compound, there is no young man better than my Wang Cheng."

The aunts who were standing around and eavesdropping, when they heard this, all cursed her in their hearts to varying degrees for being shameless.

Lin Qingyan smiled and said to her, "Aunt, do you know why Wang Cheng got married in the countryside?"

When it comes to her son's marriage, Wang Cheng's mother's face is a little unhappy. Lin Qingyan certainly doesn't consider her feelings and continues:

"Because working in the countryside is too tiring, all the educated youth who went to the countryside to support the cause did not receive any special treatment from the villagers. They did the same work as the villagers. Many people could not stand the hardship, so they tried every possible way to make themselves feel more relaxed.

Some even want to take shortcuts, and your Wang Cheng is one of those people who want to take shortcuts.

So, he found himself a father-in-law who was a team leader. He thought that this way he wouldn't have to do heavy work, and could be assigned to some easy jobs, so that his life would be easier, and he might even get a place in the village's Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

He had a good idea and a good plan, but he forgot that we went to the countryside to support rural construction, not to be lazy, let alone to take shortcuts in life.”

Lin Qingyan looked at the aunts around her who pricked up their ears and continued:

"No matter how bad Lin Sheng is, he works with his own ability and lives on the money he earns. He is not like some people who only think of using crooked means, especially those who want to climb up by stepping on women. It is only a matter of time before they fall."

Wang Cheng's mother was dissatisfied when she saw her talking about her son in such a roundabout way.

"How can you talk like that, girl?"

"I'm sorry, auntie, I'm telling you the truth, you may not like it. By the way, auntie, there is one more thing, I don't know if Wang Cheng has told you,

Wang Cheng’s father-in-law is no longer the team leader. I wonder if he will regret it when he finds out that he is not treated well when he starts working.”

Wang Cheng's mother was very angry at Lin Qingyan's words and glared at her.

"Aunt, I'm telling the truth. I'm not kidding you. Although I didn't see Wang Cheng before I came back, I heard that his father-in-law's family is very lively. There's a lot of noise at home every day. It's very lively. If you don't believe me, you can write to ask."

After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she ignored Wang Cheng's mother's livid face and walked back with a smile, not forgetting to say hello to the aunts on the roadside.

She was telling the truth. Ever since Li Genshu lost his position as the team leader, there had been constant quarrels in his family. It started with the quarrels between the daughters-in-law, who kept making indirect accusations.

They didn't dare to say anything about Li Cuihua before, but now, they think that Li Genshu's dismissal as captain is related to Lin Qingyan.

Then the resentment they have been feeling during this period can only be directed at Li Cuihua. How can Wang Cheng, who is her husband, be any better?

Now it's not just a quarrel. Li Cuihua's sisters-in-law don't dare to scold Li Cuihua directly, so they scold Wang Chengcheng directly. It is said that they can no longer live in the Li family.

Lin Qingyan was preparing to return to Xishui Village on the fourth day of the New Year. The night before she left, after Liu Huizhen lay down on the bed, Lin Qingyan hugged her from behind.

"Mom, I can't bear to leave you!"

Liu Huizhen reached out and held her daughter in her arms. She was so tiny back then, her cry was quieter than a cat's, but now it's louder than hers. Liu Huizhen was very emotional.

"Mom can't bear to leave you either. Do you really not want your parents to use their connections to let you return to the city?"

Liu Huizhen confirmed with Lin Qingyan again. Although her daughter said she had her own plans, she couldn't help herself as a mother.

"Mom, there's no need to find connections. I have my own plans. Don't worry!"

In the end, Liu Huizhen kept her chatting for half the night, reminding her to be careful, and only went to sleep after Lin Qingyan's assurance.

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the New Year, when Lin Qingyan got up, Liu Huizhen had already prepared a few days' worth of food for her and boiled a few eggs, then put all the food into the bag that Lin Qingyan was carrying.

Liu Huizhen asked Lin Qingyan to take back the gifts given by relatives during the New Year, but Lin Qingyan refused.

So he stuffed Lin Qingyan with a dozen or so big unity cards.

"Mom, I have money of my own, enough for me."

Liu Huizhen has already repaid the money that Lin Qingyan lent to her family. This was pocket money given to her separately.

"No matter how rich my daughter is, she still owns it. These are given by me. Use them to buy something delicious. Don't treat yourself badly."

Liu Huizhen forcefully stuffed the money into Lin Qingyan's hand.

Lin Qingyan reached out and hugged Liu Huizhen, "Thank you, Mom. You are so kind. Mom, wait for me to take you to enjoy happiness."

Liu Huizhen also reached out to return the favor to her daughter, feeling reluctant to let her go. Lin Jianshe watched from the side with envy, but his daughter was grown up and it was no longer appropriate for him to hold her in his arms.

While Liu Huizhen was getting her meal, Lin Qingyan stuffed the money she was given under her pillow and went out to eat.

After the family finished their hot breakfast, Liu Huizhen and Lin Qingxuan sent her to the train station together, while Lin Jianshe went to work overtime early.

"This bag contains dry food and water. When you are on the train, remember to only open this bag. Do not open other packages easily to avoid thieves.

The money should also be kept safe, leaving only some outside, and the rest should be kept close to your body and not taken out." Liu Huizhen was still a little worried and reminded him again on the way.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, it's not easy for others to take my things."

Of course it’s not easy, because she secretly hid all her things in her space, so no thief could steal from her space.

"Qingyan, you are already a grown-up girl. Don't think about dating too early. Don't dress up too nicely in the countryside. You have to protect yourself anyway, okay?"

Liu Huizhen had already reminded me of this last night.

Lin Qingyan also listened patiently and replied to her from time to time.

Lin Qingxuan had no chance to speak. Seeing that they had already arrived at the train station, his mother was still talking to Lin Qingyan non-stop. Lin Qingxuan walked forward dissatisfiedly and said:

"Mom, are you done yet? Can I talk to my sister? The train is coming soon."

Liu Huizhen stopped talking. Lin Qingyan looked at her brother who was almost as tall as her, reached out and touched his head, and said to him with a smile:

"Qingxuan, you must study hard. You must listen carefully when the teacher is teaching. If you don't understand something, ask the teacher in time.

If you can get into the top three this summer, I will give you a bicycle during the Chinese New Year."

When Lin Qingxuan was touched on the head by his sister, he felt at ease. He listened to her quietly and nodded from time to time.

When he heard about the bicycle, he suddenly raised his head and asked with sparkling eyes:

"Sister, are you telling the truth?"

The Lin family has bicycles, one for his father and one for his brother. His brother's bicycle was taken away when the family split up, but his father rides this bicycle to and from get off work every day.

He could usually only go out to play when his dad was on a break, but he didn't expect his sister to see it.

"Of course it's true. During the summer vacation, if you rank third in the school exam, I will give you a bicycle. I asked someone to help me find some study materials some time ago. I will send them back to you when I find them."

Lin Qingxuan is a freshman in high school this year, and will be a sophomore after the summer vacation. In fact, students in the second year of high school can directly take part in the college entrance examination after the resumption, but many people do not have the confidence and do not sign up for the exam.

In the past few days since returning, Lin Qingyan has also taken the opportunity to check Lin Qingxuan's homework. Except for his poor English, Lin Qingxuan is doing well in other subjects.

When Lin Qingyan had nothing to do these days, she took him to study, and asked Lin Qingxuan to review the junior high school knowledge. She also left a copy of her own notes to Lin Qingxuan.

Liu Huizhen felt warm at the sight of the quiet and harmonious relationship between the brother and sister.

The sound of a train whistle came from a distance. Liu Huizhen turned around and saw that the train was slowly approaching.

"Qingyan, the train is here." As soon as Liu Huizhen finished speaking, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

When Lin Qingyan turned around, she saw her wiping the corners of her eyes with her hand.

Lin Qingyan paused, then went forward and hugged her: "Mom, why don't you go to the countryside with me?"
