Chapter 29 Distant cousin

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Cheng Tianyuan got up and cooked two bowls of sweet noodles.

Xue Ling woke up only after smelling the fragrance of noodles. She turned her head and looked at the old-fashioned clock beside her and found that it was already seven o'clock in the morning!

She was startled and quickly got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed her clothes and went downstairs.

"Brother Yuan! Why don't you call me? It's probably too late to rush to the station to take the bus!"

Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "Don't be afraid, the car at 8:30. We have bicycles to pass by and can set off half an hour later."

Xue Ling said "Ah!" and turned to laugh.

"Then let's send the bike at the station! Go directly to work when you come back, and you don't have to worry about being too late."

After eating sweet noodles, the two of them quickly packed up and went out.

Xue Ling had already packed it up last night, just took all the things and set off.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Early in the morning, the streets are full of people, people coming and going, holding sweet cakes and mooncakes in their hands, and some holding fruits, full of festive atmosphere.

There are a long queue of bus stops where there are usually no people.

Xue Ling sat in the back seat and smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, fortunately we have a bicycle, otherwise we might not be able to catch up when we take the bus to the station."

Cheng Tianyuan remembered her words before going to bed last night and reminded: "You said last night that you haven't called home for a long time. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and a great day for family reunion. Logically, you have to call Uncle Xue and the others, talk about their current situation, and wish them a happy holiday."

Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "You want me to go and fight after I return to Chengjia Village, right?"

"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "There is a village committee there, so there is no need to charge money, but we can't always take advantage of it. There is a public phone call at the station. I heard that it starts with two yuan a trip. If you have one more minute, you will add two yuan."

Xue Ling is also a person who doesn't like to take advantage of him. After hearing his words, he immediately agreed.

"Okay! When I arrive at the station later, I will go and call immediately."

Ronghua County is not big, and the roads are flat and convenient. After riding for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the gate of the station.

The so-called stations only have three routes, all of which are back and forth to some suburban villages in nearby areas.

Cheng Tianyuan was familiar with the place and took her to a grocery store beside him, and sent her bicycle for a day, giving her two cents.

"Comrade, I want to ask, I heard that there is a public phone call nearby recently. Do you know where it is?"

The grocery store owner replied: "In the station! I saw it when I walked in!"

Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly carried the snakeskin bag and walked in quickly.

Xue Ling followed behind and saw that the station was crowded with people. Everyone was in a hurry and obviously were waiting for the bus.

"Brother Yuan, have we bought tickets? Can we buy tickets so many people?"

Cheng Tianyuan helped her block the crowd and explained: "I came to buy it three days ago. The car at 8:30 is still fifteen minutes away. Let's go and call."

It turned out that the public telephone was set up at the station, with a special window and an old mother guarding the side and staring at it.

At that time, phone calls were rare, and no one called, so they had to lock the phone.

When the old mother heard that she was going to call the capital, she looked up a ragged notebook wearing reading glasses, and then said, "That's more expensive! The starting price is three yuan."

Xue Ling understood that the long-distance phone number was expensive, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

I miss my parents very much for a while, and it would be fine if I didn’t mention it, but I couldn’t help but feel sore when I mentioned it.

The phone was quickly dialed, and it was Xue's mother who answered the phone.

"Oh! Ling Ling! I miss you so much! Why did you call me? Mom has written several letters to you, but you haven't replied! How are you? Are you doing well? Is Tianyuan good to you?"

As soon as the mother connected, she kept talking and hearing Xue Ling's eyes turned red.

She sniffed and saw the old mother staring at the clock and waiting to ask for extra money. She quickly spoke quickly and briefly explained the general situation over the past month.

When Xue's mother heard that she had found an editor at the newspaper, her job was very easy, and her colleagues in the unit were all very good. She was obedient and rented a spacious suite and bought a bicycle yesterday. She was very happy and kept shouting ok.

"Your father went to deliver mooncakes to a few old customers today, thanking them for keeping patronizing our business. When he came back, I immediately told him that his daughter had called. He was still worried that you would have a quarrel with Tianyuan, so I had to tell him not to worry about it in the future! Haha!"

Xue Ling looked at Cheng Tianyuan who was waiting not far away and was secretly happy.

"Mom, Brother Yuan and I are planning to take a bus to Chengjia Village. I will call you again in a few days and chat with Dad for a while."

When Xue's mother heard that she seemed to be hanging up the phone, she became panicked.

"Hey! Ling Ling! I forgot to tell you one thing! I thought you would stay in Chengjia Village all the time, but I didn't expect you and Ayuan to go to the county town. If you are in the county town, you will go to my cousin when you have time - Aunt Mei who lives at the entrance of the Dahutong in Ronghua County. Do you remember?"

Xue Ling was stunned, her mind was suddenly in a mess and she was at a loss.

Mother Xue explained that Aunt Mei was her far away cousin and added a watch. When she and Dad Xue came here, they met her after being introduced by relatives in her hometown.

"Sister Mei also has a son named Lin Cong. When he was a child, he often came to play with you on weekends. Do you still remember?"

Xue Ling looked pale and whispered: "...Remember."

Mother Xue sighed and explained that Aunt Mei’s husband passed away. It was not easy for her to pull Lin Cong alone, so she called her to borrow money several times.

"Your father thought about her taking care of us when she was in Ronghua County, and lent her hundreds of dollars. I don't know how life is now? When you have time, you will turn over and look for them and give me a greeting to Aunt Mei..."

Xue Ling hung up the phone in a daze.

Cheng Tianyuan hurried forward and helped pay the old mother. He grabbed her hand anxiously and said, "The car seems to be coming! Let's go!"

In the crowd, Xue Ling was walking bumpy and bumpy. Fortunately, she was protected by Cheng Tianyuan, so she did not fall.

It was not until the car drove and the cool breeze surged in from the window that she woke up a little.

In her previous life, she met Lin Cong in Chengjia Village.

At that time, she was thinking of ways to leave Chengjia Village every day until Lin Cong came to Chengjia to find her.

At that time, he was an inspector of the cooperative and went to Chengjia Village to the countryside.

Lin Cong said that it was her mother who called him and asked him to take care of her faraway cousin, and also sent some money to him to help bring it to Xue Ling.

The Lin family used to be very rich, but later after Lin's father died suddenly after he broke the law, his family's property was confiscated.

Aunt Mei and Lin’s father only have one child, Lin Cong. They have grown up with a cute child. They have good grades since childhood, are fair and handsome, have a good temperament, and are full of books.

Unexpectedly, Lin Cong was dissatisfied with money and saw that her father had transferred 500 yuan to her at once. He guessed that the Xue family must be very rich. After rushing over, he pretended to be concerned about her and caring for her.

At that time, Cheng Tianyuan was angry after her wedding night. She was bored in Chengjia Village and wanted to leave quickly every day. Lin Cong's appearance made her immediately treat him as a life-saving straw!
