Chapter 22: Discovering that his biological daughter seemed to have really wandered in the countryside...

Qin Yicheng has had a smooth life.

He didn't like rote learning, he only loved to tinker with machine parts. Except for math, where he got full marks, he just wrote a few words in other subjects to satisfy the occasion.

If it were parents who like to compare with others, they would force him to learn other subjects as well.

However, his parents are very open-minded and never force him to do anything they don't like. Their only requirement is that he pay attention to safety when tinkering and live happily every day.

From the time he could remember until he started working at the age of sixteen, his body was either covered in engine oil or processing debris from various materials.

He had to thank his father, the workshop director, for scrapped parts and defective products were piled up in the warehouse. He would go to the factory to play when he had nothing to do, and had many opportunities to come into contact with these things.

His favorite thing is to spend the whole day tinkering with his little inventions among those scrap parts.

When his parents called him to eat, he didn't bother to answer. With his face covered in engine oil, he forgot to eat and sleep.

Sometimes I really don’t want to be urged to eat by them, so I just carry a piece of cake or a handful of fruit candies with me.

As long as I don’t starve to death, I can eat a little more when I get home at night.

Despite all this chaos, he didn't stop growing taller. Now he was 1.85 meters tall, which was considered above average in Northeast China.

Yao Jingjing deliberately disgusted him by saying that he was not tall enough.

As a result, she found Duan Cheng, who was not even 1.8 meters tall.

She also disliked him because he was big and fat and thought he was a rude person.

He didn't understand why he was rude. It was just that he had been dealing with all kinds of iron things for many years, which caused his muscles to be overdeveloped, his arms to be thick, and his shoulders to be broad.

He has a very thick waist and straight abdominal muscles. In the summer, he has to buy a larger size shirt, otherwise, when the wind blows, the brick-like abdominal lines will be clearly visible.

Yao Jingjing once said rudely: "Why is your stomach so lumpy? It's so disgusting."

This sentence completely hurt his self-esteem, and from then on, he began to think about breaking off the engagement.

Unexpectedly, Yao Jingjing was self-aware and took the initiative to cancel the engagement to prevent him from becoming the bad guy.

This young lady's mischief made it easy for him to gain Yao Jingzong's guilt, and he suddenly became Yao Jingzong's godson.

As a result, many matchmakers came to our house during this period.

In the end, he didn't like any of them.

Although he only likes dealing with machines and parts, he is not stupid. He knows that those people come for his high salary.

If he marries someone like that, and one day he falls into poverty, all the flowers in his sight will surely wither away.

Anyway, he is only 23 years old. He is not in a hurry. He will look for someone slowly who can resonate with his soul and share the hardships with him. When the time comes, he will indulge in her regardless of everything, weave a love nest with that woman, and raise children together.

As the youngest eighth-level worker in the local area and a hard-working person whose salary far exceeds that of his peers, he has the capital to be proud and the qualifications to be picky.

But now, he found out that he was wrong.

Totally wrong.

His dissatisfaction with Yao Jingjing was simply because he didn't like her.

What if it’s someone else?

If it were the girl in front of him with a big red flower on her head, he would definitely crawl on the ground without any hesitation and act like her dog.

That he's not tall enough?

It doesn’t matter, as long as she likes it, he can put a few more pairs of insoles on his shoes, even if it only makes them look one centimeter higher, just to make her happy.

Do you dislike his big shoulders and fat waist?

It doesn't matter. He can eat less and touch less heavy iron things. Muscles are not static. With time, he can also become a weak scholar.

Think he's rude?

He really doesn't have much literary literacy, but that doesn't matter. He can be patient, read and recite ancient poems, and learn classics from famous writers.

As long as he could make her happy, he would do it without hesitation even if she asked him to bark like a dog.

Just like now, seeing the girl's astonished eyes, he immediately realized his loss of composure, and quickly bent down to pick up the gifts on the ground one by one.

How could he be so rude, staring at the bride like an idiot?

He's just like a scoundrel!

It's so rude and outrageous.

He had almost no time to think, and in a panic, he picked up this and dropped that.

Just as he was about to find a place to put down the gift in his hand, the bride came towards him.

The dazzling August sun shone overhead, and the fragrance of gardenias floated in the wind.

The bride stood in front of him, smiling slightly without saying a word.

The white shirt with pink floral patterns is simple and elegant. Tucked into navy blue trousers, it looks like a lotus flower about to bloom, bright and beautiful.

Red silk flowers are pasted on the white canvas shoes to add a touch of festive atmosphere.

The dimples were probably filled with her daughter's red wine, which made him drunk at the first sight of it.

The smile in her eyes made him dizzy, and he stood there in a daze, forgetting what he should do.

He looked down on himself a little and boasted about how he only liked women who were spiritually compatible with him.

He was already flustered after seeing the person for the first time.

What spiritual connection and what soul resonance are so insignificant in the face of absolute beauty.

He even forgot to think, his mind was full of only one thought: why wasn't he the groom?

He could take her back and scare the Yao family - look, I fell in love with a great beauty, and this beauty looks a bit like Sister Miaomiao.

At least 50% or 60% similar.

As for Yao Jingjing, only her eyes are slightly similar when she smiles.

If a stranger were asked to choose which one looks more like Yao Miaomiao's biological sister, he would have no doubt that as long as he was not blind, he would definitely choose the bride.

Damn, it’s a bride!

He's finished.

Fortunately, his godfather told him that the groom was a sickly man?

He subconsciously glanced at the man walking towards him from behind. He had a big red flower on his chest and was easy to recognize.

This man is really born with a great appearance, and he is a perfect match for the bride.

Unfortunately, he was sick and even the air was filled with the bitter taste of Chinese medicine.

What a bargain for this sickly guy.

You're almost dead, and you still have the nerve to chase girls?

Aren’t you afraid of wasting someone’s life?

Damn it, this guy’s father is his godfather’s old subordinate and also his father’s comrade-in-arms. If he dares to steal her love, I’m afraid neither of his two fathers will let him go!

But it didn't matter, he could wait.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down and thought about how to introduce himself.

But the bride had already spoken: "Tell me again, whose son are you?"

Qin Yicheng raised the corner of his lips and gave her a confident smile: "Yao Jingzong."

"So I heard right, you really are Uncle Jingzong's son! So are you Yao Weiguo or Yao Weihua? Strange, I didn't invite you, how did you know I was getting married?" Yao Zhizhi didn't know who the man's relatives were, so she naturally thought he was coming because of his connection to the Yao family. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could it be that Uncle Jingye informed you? But that's not right. If he invited you, why didn't he tell me?"

"Huh?" Qin Yicheng was completely confused and could only look at Yao Zhizhi blankly. "Why don't I understand what you're saying? I don't know any Uncle Jingye. Wait, wait a minute, you are Yao Zhizhi, right?"

"It's me." Yao Zhizhi thought this guy was an idiot. He was handsome, but his brain seemed rusty and slower than normal people. She was almost losing her patience and asked again, "What's your name? If you were Yao Weiguo, I would call you Big Brother. If you were Yao Weihua, I would call you Third Brother."

"I..." Qin Yicheng was depressed. What did this have to do with anything? His godfather hadn't told him that the bride was related to his family. He had no choice but to ask, "Your mother-in-law is Tang Fengyuan, right? I'll tell her."

"You're so weird. You can't even tell me your name? It's incomprehensible." Yao Zhizhi turned around and looked at Qi Changxiao behind her. "Where's our mom?"

"I went to pick up my uncle." Qi Changxiao's face was gloomy. He didn't have a good impression of the man at the door. Why did he stare at his wife as soon as he came?

Like a lecher!

Now that his wife was asking him questions, he avoided the question and didn't seem like a serious person.

He walked over silently with a sickly face, put his arm around Yao Zhizhi's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and turned to go into the yard to speak: "Zhizhi, what did you just say to him? I don't understand."

Yao Zhizhi raised her eyes, like a lost deer in the forest: "Didn't you hear him? He is the son of Yao Jingzong. Yao Jingzong is from the lineage of our Yao family. I have to call him uncle."

What a coincidence? Qi Changxiao was a little surprised and asked, "Did you invite him to the banquet?"

"No. The relatives in Northeast China that I told you about in my previous letter are their family. I listened to you and wrote them a reply, but unfortunately, it fell into the sea. That's why I just said hello to him. I also wanted to find an opportunity to ask them why they didn't reply to me. Did I make a mistake?" Yao Zhizhi was very confused.

Qi Changxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was careless. You mentioned some relatives in the Northeast in your letter, but you didn't say their names. I didn't expect that they were actually Yao Jingzong's family!"

"Ah? You know them?" Yao Zhizhi was even more confused. "When did this happen?"

"Yao Jingzong is our father's old boss." Qi Changxiao rubbed her head. "You didn't invite them to the wedding, but our mother did. No wonder that person didn't know what you were talking about. I guess the older generation didn't tell them about it. The younger generation grew up in the Northeast and never came back, so naturally they don't understand the situation here."

"No way, what a coincidence? You mean, before our father died, he was a soldier of my Uncle Jingzong?" Yao Zhizhi found it incredible. "No wonder that man was dumbfounded by my question. He didn't even recognize my Uncle Jingye. It's true that city people look down on us country relatives. Tsk."

"I'm from the city, too." Qi Changxiao quickly corrected her cognitive bias. He wasn't that vulgar and snobbish. He clarified himself firmly, "I'm different from them."

"Yeah! You're the best! Uniquely good!" Yao Zhizhi smiled and took his hand. "Let's go and explain it to him. I think he's confused by me. Haha, it's so funny. I was stupid. I thought it was my uncle Jingye who invited them here. What a joke."

Qi Changxiao shook his head: "No, it's the information gap. I should have told you about our father's comrades in the letter."

"I didn't tell you the names of my relatives in Northeast China. I am also responsible. Okay, it's just a small episode. Let's go and talk to him." Yao Zhizhi felt that the husband she chose was very good. When something happened, he knew to take responsibility on himself instead of pushing it on her.

Qin Yichen was sorting the gifts he brought. When he saw the bride with a man's hand on her shoulder, he felt very uncomfortable. He had to lower his head and continue sorting the bags.

Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. It turns out your father is my father-in-law's old comrade-in-arms."

"Then how do you know his son's name?" Qin Yicheng put his things away. "Are you familiar with his family?"

"You just asked me if my name was Yao Zhizhi. Think about it again." Yao Zhizhi didn't believe that he was so stupid. This man looked like a smart person.

Qin Yicheng looked up at her: "I thought your last name was Yao was just a coincidence, are you two relatives?"

Yao Zhizhi nodded: "Yao Jingzong's grandfather is my great-grandfather. But my father was adopted, so he has no blood relationship with him. His wife Xie Chunxing and my mother are distant cousins, so they can barely be considered relatives."

"No wonder you look like their second daughter." Qin Yichen suddenly realized that this was the origin of the connection.

But...could the children of distant cousins ​​be so similar?

He suddenly became curious: "How far away are the cousins?"

Yao Zhizhi raised an eyebrow. "My mother's great-grandmother and Xie Chunxing's great-grandmother were twins. They are already the fourth generation, so it's too far back."

"That's indeed far away." Qin Yichen was confused. By the time of Yao Miaomiao and Yao Zhizhi, they were already the fifth generation. They shouldn't be so similar, right?

Could it be that Yao Zhizhi's adopted father actually has some hidden secret?

Maybe it's the illegitimate child that Yao Jingzong's father has hidden outside?

In this way, with a common paternal bloodline, even if the maternal bloodline is very distant, the children may still be very similar.

When he thought of this, he didn't dare to say anything more, in case he caused trouble for others.

There is one like this in his father's factory.

The romantic debts of Taizu's generation caused the younger generation to lose their families.

Unfortunately, words once spoken cannot be taken back.

The listener has a heart.

Yao Zhizhi asked suspiciously, "You said I look like their second daughter? Yao Miaomiao, right?"

Qin Yicheng quickly tried to make amends: "No, no, I was carsick and my eyes were blurry, so I made a mistake. Don't worry, they don't look alike at all. It might be because I also attended her wedding, and she was dressed like that that day. Now looking at it again, they really don't look alike at all."

"Oh." Yao Zhizhi didn't quite believe this, but there were so many guests in the courtyard that some things were inconvenient to say. Besides, the banquet was about to start, so she needed to arrange for the guests to be seated as soon as possible. So she asked one last time, "What's your name?"

"I--" Qin Yichen was just about to speak when he heard Tang Fengyuan's hearty laughter behind him.

"Changxiao, look who's coming!"

Everyone looked over.

But a middle-aged man in military uniform followed.

He is tall and has handsome features, and is about 50% similar to the groom. The only drawback is that he is too dark, which forms a sharp contrast with the groom.

Qi Changxiao quickly went up to him with Yao Zhizhi on his arm, took the suitcase from the man, and reminded Yao Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, this is our uncle."

"Uncle." Yao Zhizhi knew at once that this man was Qi Changxiao's elder, as the two looked quite similar.

Tang Junqi smiled and nodded: "Let's talk inside, it's hot outside."

The young couple quickly invited their uncle to rest in the east room, served him tea and water, and fulfilled their hospitality.

Tang Fengyuan fell behind by one step and was stopped by Qin Yichen.

"Is that Aunt Tang? My father is Yao Jingzong." Qin Yichen was not vain and had to say his godfather's name, but his godfather specifically told him to do so so that he could support the orphans and widows of the old Qi family.

After all, his own father is just a workshop director and has little power.

Seeing that he was carrying a lot of bags, Tang Fengyuan quickly took two canvas bags and a large woven bag.

"You must be Yicheng, right? Your father said in the letter that he has to go to Beijing for a meeting and won't be able to come." Tang Fengyuan was very happy. It was normal for the old leader to be too busy to come. It was a great honor for her to let her godson come. She was very satisfied and quickly asked him to put down the gift. "Come in and sit inside. Auntie will pour you some boiled water."

Qin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that his godfather had made it clear in the letter. That was good.

He followed Tang Fengyuan and carried the gifts into the newlyweds' bridal chamber.

The bridal chamber was on the west side, clean and tidy. The bed was covered with a bright red wedding quilt, and underneath it was a mat.

The mosquito net is pink with a Double Happiness pattern on it.

Qin Yichen felt a little uncomfortable. He put the gift on the desk next to him and turned to leave.

There were two round tables in the main hall, and he was invited to the innermost table, as a distinguished guest of the host family.

His position was right, facing north and south, so he could see the other people in the main room and the situation in the yard at a glance.

Just after I sat down for a while, a middle-aged man came in, smiling and holding a cigarette.

As soon as he arrived, he asked Tang Fengyuan, "Xiao Tang, my second brother wrote to tell me that his son has arrived? Where is he? Let me see him quickly. I have never seen him once in my life."

Tang Fengyuan knew that the two families knew each other. Yao Jingzong mentioned in the letter that there was an acquaintance of theirs here named Qin Sanshan.

It happened to be someone she knew.

Tang Fengyuan went there a few days ago and sent an invitation.

Hearing this, he quickly pointed at the young man at the main seat: "See, the strongest one? That tall guy is only a little shorter than my Chang Xiao."

Qin Sanshan took a quick look and said, "Wow, my nephew is so handsome! So I should sit next to him?"

"Of course you should. Let's go." Tang Fengyuan quickly led him over. "Yicheng, this is your cousin, Qin Sanshan. Did your father tell you about him?"

"Uncle." Qin Yichen knew that there was a relative here, so he quickly stood up and called him.

Qin Sanshan was very happy. Oh, he finally got to see his nephew.

He himself didn't have any special abilities, and spent his entire life just hanging around in the power supply station.

But his eldest cousin Qin Bo is very promising. He is leading troops to reclaim land in the Great Northern Wilderness.

Although my second cousin Qin Tao has retired from the army, he is still a workshop director and lives a very comfortable life.

For so many years, the cousins ​​have not been able to catch up with each other. Now, with the marriage of the old Qi family's son, he can meet his eldest nephew and make up for the lack of family affection.

He quickly sat down, took Qin Yichen's hand, and started chatting enthusiastically.

"I'll take you to meet someone later." Qin Sanshan was still thinking about matchmaking for his niece.

Qin Yicheng didn't know about this and asked curiously, "Who is it? Auntie and your younger brother and sister?"

Qin Sanshan smiled and lit a cigarette: "No, no, they didn't come. Your Aunt Tang's family is an orphan and a widow. It's not easy to prepare a few tables for a banquet. How can I bring my family to eat? It's not kind."

That's true.

Qin Yichen felt that this cousin was a good person who was good at taking care of the weak, but he didn't know who his cousin was going to take him to meet in such a mysterious way.

He could only look at the guests present and ask, "Is that person here?"

"Here." Qin Sanshan stretched his neck and looked over the table at the door. "Over there, the one closest to the gate. Do you see that young man? His name is Zhu Zhiyuan. I want to introduce him to your cousin as a date. Is he good-looking?"

Qin Yichen looked up and thought he was okay, with a clean-cut face and a decent appearance, but he was much inferior to the groom.

He is a little inferior to the groom, but he is in good health and has a strong physique, which gives him obvious advantages.

What a pity, she is getting married today, but he is not on the same starting line as her.

It makes me depressed just thinking about it.

When he withdrew his gaze, Yao Zhizhi came out with a kettle. The big red silk flower made him nervous, so he had to sit up straight and stare at the dishes in front of him to avoid losing his composure again.

I was really confused just now.

I left such a bad first impression on the girl, and I don’t know how to make up for it in the future.

He didn't mind waiting for her, and if she became a widow one day, he would be willing to marry her.

But for now, he could only hide his thoughts to avoid being seen through.

Too cheap.

Qin Yichen can afford to wait and see what he wants!

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and when I opened them again, there was no longer any improper thoughts in them.

He calmly watched Yao Zhizhi carry a chair into the east room.

Soon, relatives who had not seen each other for many years began to greet each other.

Qin Yichen was close by and accidentally heard their conversation clearly.

Tang Fengyuan asked the couple to stand by the window so that the elders could have a better look at them. "Brother, this is the bride, Yao Zhizhi, and this is your nephew Changxiao. I haven't seen him for so many years, you might not recognize him, right?"

"I recognize him. He's the nephew taking his uncle's place!" Tang Junqi has lived in Northwest China for many years. His body is tanned black, and when he smiles, his white teeth are exposed.

He is quite honest. This was Yao Zhizhi's first impression of him.

He was wearing a military uniform with four pockets, so he was a cadre.

Tang Junqi dug into his pocket and took out two red envelopes: "Come on, Changxiao, Xiaoyao, accept them. Don't think it's too little."

The gift from the elders cannot be refused, so the couple accepted the red envelope and said thank you to their uncle.

Tang Junqi smiled and stroked his stubble. "I was worried that no one would want this kid. Xiaoyao, you've been wronged. Don't worry, those Western doctors are just trying to scare people. It's actually nothing. His illness is a weakness he was born with. With careful care for a few years, he will recover."

"Well, I also believe that he will be fine. Uncle, please sit down." Yao Zhizhi moved the chair closer to him.

Tang Junqi thought this girl was really good, beautiful and sensible. No wonder Chang Xiao fell in love with her.

As expected of his nephew, he has excellent vision.

He smiled and sat down. "I heard from Chang Xiao in the letter that you're still writing for the newspaper? That's great. You two should have common topics. This kid really likes reading."

"Yeah, I can see that." Yao Zhizhi smiled and looked at the man next to her. He was very handsome.

A bit of sickness not only does not drag down his appearance, but instead adds a touch of stubbornness and perseverance, which is very attractive.

It made her unconsciously want to bully him.

Of course, not now.

She smiled and changed the subject: "Uncle is a soldier? Which unit is he from?"

"Xinjiang, Construction Corps." Tang Junqi is not from the northwest, but now he speaks with an authentic northwestern accent.

It can be seen that language habits will change after staying in one place for a long time.

Yao Zhizhi suddenly realized: "I've seen it in the newspaper. You work very hard. You farm during the busy farming season, and build roads in the mountains during the slack season. It's really not easy."

"Oh? Then do you know which roads we built?" Tang Junqi suddenly became excited. The feeling of having his sweat and blood seen by others would make people feel proud unconsciously.

Yao Zhizhi happened to know of two: "The Xinjiang Highway Survey and Design Institute, in accordance with the standards of a Class VI highway, has surveyed and designed two Tianshan combat readiness transportation projects, Project 07042 and Project 0603. Due to the local geographical constraints, construction is progressing with difficulty, and the roads are not yet fully open to traffic. This year, in response to the central government's document on 'relying on the Tianshan Mountains, engaging in long-term operations, and operating independently,' the Xinjiang Military Region mobilized two army regiments to participate in the construction. However, this isn't enough; migrant workers from southern Xinjiang and the Construction Corps' Fourth Agricultural Division are also contributing. Following the principle of opening to traffic first and then improving, preliminary estimates suggest that the roads will be open in two years."

"This child has a really good memory." Tang Junqi was very happy. His nephew had good taste and chose a great wife. If the couple had children in the future, the children would definitely be smart.

Yao Zhizhi smiled modestly: "There are only a few newspapers at home. I read them over and over again. Even a fool can memorize them."

"Hahaha." Tang Junqi was very happy. The couple loved reading newspapers and books respectively. This marriage was perfect!

After chatting for a while, the wedding officially began. Tang Fengyuan quickly called Tang Junqi out and sat in the main seat in the main hall.

Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao held the wine and toasted their relatives and friends at each table.

Because the bride's two sisters came to see her off, they sat at the main table.

As for the families of Wang Aiming and Zhu Ben, if they were considered relatives of the woman, they should go to Yaowangzhuang instead of coming here.

So the two families came as matchmakers, so naturally they could only sit at the table outside.

Also nearby were neighbors, Tang Fengyuan’s colleagues at the police station, and Qi Changxiao’s colleagues when he was a teacher.

After Yao Zhizhi toasted, she realized that among the six tables of relatives and friends, only Qi Changxiao had the surname Qi.

There were a lot of people around now, so she didn't ask and decided to wait until the party was over.

The two of them returned to the main table and sat down, facing Qin Yichen.

While eating, Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao passed food to each other and seemed to have a good relationship.

Qin Yichen held the bowl and swallowed mouthful after mouthful with difficulty.

Occasionally I would look up and see that the newlyweds' gazes were entangled, like the sugar threads pulled out by a Tang Dynasty musician, which even outsiders found sweet.

Not to mention themselves.

Tonight should...

I don't know if the sick person can do it.

It would be best if it doesn't work, so that he can get the advantage in the future.

After all, it was just a coincidence that God let him come here today. It must be so that he could wait for her.

Maybe I'll leave him a surprise.

She is already very pitiful. Her father is suspected to be an illegitimate child, and her newlywed husband is suspected to be dying.

I'm just missing a flower protector.

But...what if her man is still okay?

If it doesn't delay making a baby...

It’s so painful, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Qin Sanshan, who was standing by, noticed that he was distracted and quickly asked with concern: "Yicheng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, uncle. I'm carsick and feel a little nauseous." Qin Yichen was trying to kill two birds with one stone, telling the same lie again. It seemed to be a perfect solution.

Qin Sanshan was a little surprised: "You are so strong, how could you get carsick?"

"Uncle, motion sickness has nothing to do with being strong or not." Qin Yichen noticed the curious looks of the people around him and his scalp tingled.

Qin Sanshan still couldn't believe it: "I've never seen someone as strong as you get carsick. Did you eat something unclean?"

"It seems so. I ate two peaches before getting off the bus." Qin Yichen started talking nonsense. As long as he could deal with the embarrassment in front of him, he no longer had the energy to think.

But Qin Sanshan really cared about him and immediately grabbed his arm: "Come on, uncle will take you to the hospital."

Qin Yicheng: Thank you, could you please not be so enthusiastic?

He had a terrible headache and quickly waved his hands: "It's really okay, it's much better now."

"It's rare for you to come here, kid. If something happens to you, how am I going to explain to your father? Hurry, hurry!" Qin Sanshan didn't dare to be vague. This was his eldest nephew!

Are you still counting on this kid to say something good about that guy from the Zhu family?

Qin Yichen was finally forced to do something and was dragged out of the yard.

Qin Yicheng was despairing: "Hey, police officer, is there something wrong with my uncle? Please take him away!"

I can’t stand it!

He stopped at the entrance of the alley and glanced at the courtyard from afar.

Qin Sanshan didn't know what was wrong with him, so he looked over.

Qin Yichen was speechless. He had only heard of people mimicking others' speech, but had never heard of people mimicking others' observation.

He simply told the truth: "Uncle, please don't embarrass me. I'm not carsick, I just fell in love with the bride and I feel uncomfortable everywhere."

"Oh my god! What are you thinking about? You'd better get carsick!" Qin Sanshan was stunned!

What's going on? They just got married!

Qin Yichen didn't want this to happen, but love came like a landslide or tsunami, and he was finished.

He also admitted that he might have been attracted by her beauty.

But who wouldn’t be moved when seeing a beautiful girl?

He didn't choose to come here today on purpose, just give him a chance!

He just doesn't believe that he can't beat a sickly person!

He is so angry!

Qin Sanshan became even more angry. This unlucky kid, why did he like the bride when there are so many people he could like?

He snorted coldly and warned, "You can't do this! They're a couple in love, it's none of your business. Go away!"

"Uncle, I didn't say what I wanted." Qin Yichen regretted it. If he had known, he shouldn't have blown himself up.

I thought my uncle could comfort him.

Qin Sanshan didn't want to comfort her, he just thought it was ridiculous.

Sighing, he pulled Qin Yicheng away and said, "Let me tell you, the excitement of youth is only temporary, and it's over once it's over. You should go back and find someone who's still single, so that you don't end up being a first marriage and a second marriage, which wouldn't be a good match."

Qin Yichen was silent. As expected, this world likes to discriminate against those who remarry.

No wonder it was hard for his classmates to find a partner after their divorce.

But he didn't care, he wanted to wait and see.

This is the only woman who can make his heart beat faster at first sight.

He didn't want to let this fate go to waste.

Anyway, her man is dying.

But he didn't want to say this, lest Qin Sanshan lecture him again.

The two walked around the alley twice and then went back to continue eating.

Tang Fengyuan showed some concern, but Qin Sanshan just laughed it off and covered it up.

After the banquet, the Yao sisters hugged Yao Zhizhi and hurriedly took the car back.

Wang Aiming, Zhu Ben and "Zhu Zhiyuan" stayed.

When the guests were around, they didn't want to get too close to Yao Zhizhi. What if Qi Changxiao passed away in the future and left behind a wife and children, who might still need their help?

It’s better to stay away from them, so that they won’t be drowned by your saliva.

But now that the guests have left, there is nothing to worry about.

Wang Aiming walked forward and looked at Qin Yicheng. "Old Qin, this is your nephew? Is he that girl's biological brother?"

"Cousin, their fathers are brothers." Qin Sanshan brought out two long benches and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Ben pulled his son to sit down, and Qin Sanshan introduced them to each other.

Qin Yicheng quietly looked at the young man next to Zhu Ben: "Your name is Zhu Zhiyuan?"

"Ah, yes! Hello, Brother Cheng!" Yao Genbao smiled brightly, with an obvious flattering intention.

Qin Yichen frowned. The look in her eyes was just like Yao Jingjing's, the same as when she came to him to act coquettishly and ask for money.

The two had been engaged since childhood, and he had been blackmailed by her for money many times.

If she refuses to give it to him, she will try to persuade him with both soft and hard methods.

Those flattering and smiling eyes are so similar.

It’s strange, why are there so many strange things here?

First, Yao Zhizhi looked a bit like Yao Miaomiao, and now Zhu Zhiyuan also looks a bit like Yao Jingjing.

But one has the surname Zhu and the other one has the surname Yao, and they are not from the same place. It can only be a coincidence, right?

He suppressed his confusion and asked, "What do you want me to do? I can't make the decision for my sister."

She is just a cousin, not a biological sister.

He is the eldest in his family and he doesn’t have any biological sister!

It’s so annoying. What are these elders thinking? Is it worth looking for him?

His face was clearly a little impatient, so Qin Sanshan explained, "The main thing is, isn't your uncle looking for a son-in-law? What parents would be willing to let their son travel all the way to the Northeast to marry into a family? They wouldn't have to find out everything before making a decision. So his father wants to talk to you, so just tell him what you have to say, don't worry."

"Oh." Qin Yichen had a sour face. He agreed with his mouth but refused with his expression.

Qin Sanshan had to remind him gently: "You helped us, and if you need anything in the future, we will help you too. Helping each other is what makes us a family, right?"

Qin Yicheng was silent. Yes, he wanted to know whether Yao Zhizhi was living a good life after marriage, and whether the man was still alive or dead.

I can only ask his uncle.

After realizing this, his attitude improved a lot, and he simply took the initiative to talk about the situation over there.

Basically, his cousin can take care of herself, but her father is a regimental-level cadre after all, and he can't let his daughter suffer. If they really get married, Zhu Zhiyuan will have to sacrifice his personal emotions.

It was said very tactfully, and the general meaning was that the cousin had a bad temper.

Zhu Ben was a little hesitant, but Yao Genbao was willing to do it!

He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Girls are cute when they have a little temper."

Qin Yicheng sneered: "As long as you like it."

"Of course, it's your own choice, so you have to bear all the consequences yourself." Yao Genbao is quite good at preaching.

Qin Yichen looked down on this kind of son-in-law who was eager to marry into the family. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives.

After chatting for a while, he felt sleepy and yawned. Qin Sanshan quickly pushed the bicycle over to him and said, "Okay, let my nephew get some sleep first! We'll talk tonight. It must be tiring for him to come all the way here by train."

Tang Fengyuan went out to see them off and then locked the door from the outside to prevent anyone from disturbing the couple.

This door can also be opened from the inside, because there is a small doorway next to the copper lock, which has a separate lock. After opening it, you can reach out and open the large lock on the outside.

This is the experience she gained from taking care of her son alone.

It can be opened inside and outside.

The yard became quiet.

The young couple sat on the edge of the bed, looking at each other, and couldn't help laughing together.

Yao Zhizhi felt itchy and had wanted to bully him for a long time. She tickled his armpit and asked, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"I'm happy." Qi Changxiao is not a fool. The way Qin Yichen looked at his wife was too direct. As a man, he understood that it was a look of heartbeat.

Fortunately, he took timely action in early summer and did not drag his feet.

I couldn't help but pinch my wife's face. It was as smooth and tender as a peeled egg, and it seemed so fragile that it could be broken with a touch.

Moved by passion, he leaned over and kissed her.

The hot breaths entangled together, and the two young souls resonated at the same frequency.

Qi Changxiao's scalp felt numb, his throat felt sweet, and his lower abdomen felt tight.

Maybe she was nervous and afraid of disappointing her.

I had to apologize in advance: "Zhizhi, I might not be very good at this. If I don't do something well later, please don't be angry, okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Kiss me!" Yao Zhizhi grabbed his neck, raised her fair and jade-like face, and told him to come over.

The swan's neck is white and slender, and the skin is as tight as porcelain.

The man in love lost his mind after just two glances.

Unfortunately, he was a sickly person and didn't know the trick, so he could only gnaw on it and feel anxious.

Yao Zhizhi quickly lost her patience and pushed him onto the bed: "Idiot, let me do it!"

Qi Changxiao: ...

My wife is so cool! I love her so much! I love her so much!

He watched her intently as she leaned over and snatched away his innocence.

At that moment, he understood what it meant to die under the peony flowers and be a romantic ghost.

No, he can't die, he wants to live a hundred years!

He subconsciously hugged the woman in his arms tightly to help her save energy.

I didn't expect that although she looks thin, she has such a strong strength!

When I'm in a good mood, I'll deliberately keep him in suspense.

A woman's bewitching voice rang in my ears: "Beg me, and I'll continue."

"Please." Qi Changxiao surrendered spinelessly, begging his wife for help so that she would not be ashamed.

Yao Zhizhi was content and smiled as she savored the delicious taste of her sickly husband.

He got so drunk that the newly made bed sheets were crumpled into a ball, looking miserable.

Afterwards, Yao Zhizhi lay down beside the pillow, stroking the man's sweaty face with her slender fingers: "Isn't it embarrassing? Who lets their wife do the heavy lifting in the bridal chamber?"

"It's not embarrassing. Heaven and earth know, you know, and I know." Qi Changxiao shamelessly buried his head in the woman's neck and murmured, "Can you let me embarrass myself again later?"

"Of course, young man, you are so greedy!" Yao Zhizhi was happy. She chose the man herself, so she should pamper him!

After losing his life twice, Qi Changxiao became obedient and hugged his wife, closing his eyes to rest.

"Zhizhi?" Qi Changxiao was a little curious when he saw her sitting there. "Don't you want to take a nap?"

"I'm not sleepy. I'm just wondering whether the Yao Miaomiao that Qin Yicheng mentioned is similar to me." Yao Zhizhi was so lost in thought that she even forgot to ask why no one came to the Qi family.

Qi Changxiao was too tired to sit up. He moved the pillow and leaned over to talk to her. "I don't know. He seems to have some concerns. Maybe he's not telling the truth."

"I don't know when he will leave, so I should find a chance to talk to him alone." Yao Zhizhi didn't want to miss the opportunity.

I always feel like there's a missing link in everything. If I only have that one link, all my doubts will be dispelled.

But which link is it? I don’t know.

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

Qi Changxiao couldn't say for sure, but he didn't want her to meet Qin Yicheng alone, so he reminded her, "He has feelings for you. I'll go with you."

"Do you have any thoughts? Not really. It was the first time I met him, and we only exchanged a few words." Yao Zhizhi felt that he was overthinking it.

Qi Changxiao sat up, twisted her shoulders, took the mirror from the dressing table, and asked her to look at herself carefully: "Do you know how beautiful you are? Take a good look."

"Are you stupid? Does it matter whether I'm good-looking or not? I don't like him." Yao Zhizhi also looked like this in the end of the world, but no one of the opposite sex ever confessed to her. They all despised her as a tigress.

She couldn't believe that so many people liked him.

As for Qi Changxiao, it might be because she gave up her seat and helped him up, which gave him the illusion that she was kind.

It beautified the encounter.

If I knew her true face in the future, I might not be so crazy about it.

So she felt there was no need to make a fuss about her looks.

Qi Changxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He looks at you so directly, can't you see it?"

"Doesn't that just prove that I'm not interested in him?" Yao Zhizhi is a debating genius.

Qi Changxiao was stunned.

That's true. They are both men and can understand each other's eyes, but what if the opposite sex is not interested in them?

Then naturally, no ambiguous signals can be received.

His wife was very good at talking, so he lost.

But! Let’s keep things separate!

He has to accompany!

Yao Zhizhi couldn't persuade him: "Okay, let's get some sleep first, and then go to Lao Qin's house to see him in the afternoon."

Unfortunately, when I went there in the afternoon, Lao Qin said that Qin Yichen had already left.

Yao Zhizhi didn’t understand. Why were you so anxious?

Qin Sanshan explained with a smile: "My nephew is an eighth-level worker. He will lose a lot of money if he takes a day off! Of course he has to go back early."

Yao Zhizhi had no choice but to go back home.

I always feel something weird.

When I got home, there was a magazine lying in the homemade mailbox next to the door.

Yao Zhizhi picked it up and took a look at it. Qi Changxiao, who was standing by, remembered something and quickly opened the door: "Wife, come in. I almost forgot about the expert who wanted to adopt you. See if he is the same person."

Yao Zhizhi followed in, and soon, there was a yellowed old magazine in front of her.

The magazine was opened, and a bespectacled expert was holding a rice seedling and smiling at the camera.

Qi Changxiao circled the key information: "This man is Chang Dongqing, a rice expert. There was a severe drought that year, and he went to the countryside to verify the disaster situation."

"Do you have his contact information?" Yao Zhizhi didn't know if she could find out anything by asking this expert, but anyway, she decided to give it a try.

After all, an expert wouldn't want to adopt a child for no reason.

If we talk about pity, all five sisters are pitiful.

Why did you choose her?

Qi Changxiao handed over a workbook: "My mother asked someone to find out, it's in Beijing."

Yao Zhizhi decided to write a letter to ask.

Do it as soon as you say it. After writing it, go out and drop it in the mailbox.

*

Qin Yichen woke up and it was already dark.

Qin Sanshan left dinner for him and brought it to his room.

"Uncle, why didn't you wake me up?" Qin Yichen overslept. It was already past nine o'clock.

Qin Sanshan smiled and said, "I saw that you had a hard journey, so I didn't have the heart to call you. The Zhu family father and son are still waiting. Come out after you finish eating."

It’s the Zhu family father and son again!

Qin Yichen couldn't stand it anymore, so he ate dinner while suppressing his anger and went out to deal with it.

So as to avoid making things difficult for his uncle.

Zhu Zhiyuan was so attentive that he took a small stool and sat next to him: "Brother, can my dad and I go with you tomorrow? Isn't your uncle busy? I'm free, I'll go over and take a look. If they like me, I'll stay. If not, I'll come back. We don't have to waste time looking for someone else. What do you think?"

"..." Qin Yichen had never seen such a shameless person. She was really on par with Yao Jingjing.

They look alike!

If this guy's surname wasn't Zhu, he would suspect that they were born from the same mother.

But how is this possible?

This guy's parents are Zhu Ben and Liu Yue, and he looks a lot like Zhu Ben.

I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, Zhu Zhiyuan is Uncle Zhu Ben's biological son, right?"

"Of course!" Zhu Ben rushed to answer. "Dear! If you don't believe me, just look at us. Aren't we quite similar?"

Qin Yichen glanced at his uncle suspiciously, and Qin Sanshan avoided his nephew's sight by lighting a cigarette.

In fact, he did not agree with lying, but Zhu Ben was worried that if they knew Zhu Zhiyuan's true identity, they would look down on this country boy.

I gave him fifty dollars and asked him to keep it a secret, but he kept his mouth shut.

Fifty dollars is enough for him to buy hundreds of packs of cheap cigarettes!

Poor guy, he works so hard to earn money, but his wife doesn’t let him smoke!

Well, it’s not shameful to bow down for a few pieces of silver.

After all, he was introducing a date to his niece!

He exhaled a puff of cigarette, neither admitting nor refuting, leaving himself some room for maneuver: "It looks quite similar to me."

A correct nonsense.

Qin Yichen was silent. It seemed that it was just a coincidence.

Forget it, even if he doesn’t agree, they won’t go?

Just go, it’s really annoying, it would be better to get rid of this father and son as soon as possible.

He agreed.

The Zhu family father and son went back happily, packed their luggage, and went to get their tickets the next morning.

Qin Yichen couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk.

Just then, I saw Tang Fengyuan chasing a thief with a flashlight. Just as he was about to catch up with him, the thief suddenly stopped, turned around, pulled out a utility knife, and was about to stab him!

Qin Yichen's sense of justice erupted, and he rushed forward and kicked the thief, just in time to kick the utility knife away.

Tang Fengyuan was nearly injured, but seeing how brave and righteous he was, he smiled and gave him a thumbs-up: "Not bad, all those muscular muscles were not in vain!"

"Auntie Tang, are you okay?" Qin Yichen didn't want to mention his tendon meat.

What’s the use?

Didn’t Yao Zhizhi fall for a fragile boiled chicken?

It makes me angry just thinking about it.

Tang Fengyuan had no idea that the brave young man in front of her was plotting against her son in his mind. She just thought that this boy was very courageous and couldn't help but look at him with admiration!

Qin Yichen felt a little embarrassed, so he helped the fallen thief up and went back to the police station together.

"Okay, Yicheng, you go back. I'm on night shift tonight, you don't have to wait for me." Tang Fengyuan slept in the station when he was on night shift.

The police will be dispatched at any time if there is any movement.

Qin Yicheng admired her very much and told her to be careful and to bring some chili water with her.

Tang Fengyuan smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do. Let's go back."

Qin Yichen replied, but not completely.

As if possessed by a ghost, I walked to the gate of the courtyard during the day.

The courtyard door was open and a kerosene lamp was lit in the house.

It was very quiet inside and no sound could be heard.

However, by the lake next to us, there were bursts of frog croaking and cicada chirping.

I subconsciously walked over to see the scenery, but saw two people sitting by the lake, leaning against each other, holding a glass bottle with flying fireflies in it.

The woman smiled and asked, "I'm awesome, right? I said I could catch a hundred, and that's a hundred!"

"Awesome! You have great leg skills. Even our mother may not be as good as you." Qi Changxiao was telling the truth.

His mother trained specifically to become a police officer. When she was young, she got up every morning for training because she didn't want to be the last one in the station.

Over time, your physique will improve.

I didn't expect that his wife is also a martial artist.

He suddenly felt like a good-for-nothing. He relied on his mother for support when he was a child. Did he have to rely on his wife for support after getting married?

It's so embarrassing, he needs to get better soon!

But he did lose people several times today, especially the time at night. When he closed his eyes, his blood boiled when he thought about it.

He couldn't help but hug his wife and said sweetly: "I'll wash the sheets when we get home later, you go to bed early."

"It's just a little blood, it will be fine after a few bubbles. I'll twist it with you later." Yao Zhizhi only wanted to bully him on the bed, forget about under the bed.

If a kind person asks a sickly child to do housework, just lend a hand.

Qi Changxiao refused: "Don't argue with me, just think of it as me exercising to get better. The doctor also told me to do more things within my ability. Life lies in exercise."

"Okay, okay! I'll listen to you!" Yao Zhizhi asked lovingly and kissed his forehead, "Are you sleepy?"

"No. Can I play the harmonica for you?" Qi Changxiao was like a peacock with its tail spread out. He brought a harmonica with him specially. It was a Guoguang harmonica with a very good tone.

Yao Zhizhi didn't know how to play the flute, so she smiled and leaned on his shoulder: "Okay, play it."

Qi Changxiao played a piece of music called "Nanniwan".

After playing it, he sang it a cappella.

Yao Zhizhi liked it very much when she heard it for the first time, so she asked him to sing it twice more, and she hummed along the last time.

At the end of the song, the newlyweds kissed each other passionately.

If he continued to watch, he wouldn't know what heart-wrenching scene he would see. Qin Yichen left silently.

When the night wind blew in the alley, he realized how absurd and ridiculous he was.

How spineless of me to come here and peek at other people making love.

The city is low in industrialization and the night sky is clear.

He followed Xingguang back to his uncle's house and fell asleep.

But he couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, all he could see was the loving scene of the couple.

You're really asking for trouble.

He couldn't help but stand up and asked Qin Sanshan: "What disease does Qi Changxiao have?"

"I don't know. I just go to the hospital all day long. I catch a cold every few days and I'm not in good spirits. Western medicine couldn't find anything, so I went to see a Chinese doctor. He said it was a weakness from the womb and I needed to be carefully cared for. I always feel that Chinese medicine is just fooling people." Qin Sanshan neither sees a Chinese doctor nor a Western doctor. He just endures his illness.

You can ask his wife to cheat some money for medicine and hide it to buy cigarettes.

This is the dilemma that an old smoker has to face.

Alas, there is no way around it. I have to hand over all my salary as soon as I get it every month.

So he was tempted by the fifty yuan given by the Zhu family.

Anyway, his eldest cousin is capable, so Zhu Ben's son doesn't dare to do anything wrong.

A happy ending, isn't it?

He was sleepy and had no time to chat, so he went to bed.

Qin Yichen sat by the well in the family compound and watched the stars all night.

The beautiful woman I thought about all night.

Like a gardenia, a woman with a charming fragrance...

The next morning, he boarded the train with Zhu Ben and Zhu Zhiyuan.

Tsk, even the letter of introduction was prepared in advance, it seems like it was all planned.

This scheming attitude is really similar to Yao Jingjing.

When there was no better choice, she used the engagement to extort money from him.

When I had a better option, I turned around and dumped him.

Fortunately, he didn't like her at all, but it was a pity that he was cheated of his money.

Now there are two more scheming troublemakers around me, it makes me sick just thinking about it.

As soon as he got in the car, he fell asleep and didn't want to say a word.

Sad city, hope to come back soon.

By then, there would be no one around her, and he would protect her and give her a home.

After Zhu Ben and his son left, Liu Yue returned to Yaowang Manor.

"Fangfang, send a telegram quickly to remind Jingjing that Qin Yicheng actually told Lao Wu that she looked like Yao Miaomiao. Although he later said he was carsick and misjudged her, I still think it's a hidden danger. Tell Jingjing, and if it doesn't work out, ask her to pay hush money."

Wang Fang was startled and quickly sent a telegram.

After the telegram was sent, I felt relieved.

When Qin Yichen arrived at the train station, Yao Jingjing actually waited for him at the exit.

This was unbelievable to him.

The most outrageous thing is that this woman was wearing a bandage.

He felt sick when he saw the woman, so he just walked past her and went home.

Zhu Ben behind him quickly pulled Yao Genbao, the idiot, who almost greeted his own sister.

Yao Jingjing pretended not to know them and turned around to catch up with Qin Yichen.

"Wait for me, I have something to talk to you about." This is Yao Jingjing's usual trick. She acts like a spoiled child when she needs help, and throws a tantrum when she is right.

Very flexible.

It was obvious that she needed something from him today, and her coquettish voice gave him goosebumps.

He stopped at the bus stop and said, "If you have to fart, do it now."

Yao Jingjing quickly tried to get the point across, "I just found out too. That sickly guy's wife is actually my dad's cousin's daughter. So, we're kind of a distant relative. Have you seen her? Is she pretty?"

Qin Yicheng didn't know why she asked this, and just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so he said perfunctorily: "I saw it, so that's it."

"Ah? I heard she's very beautiful? Are you too picky?" Yao Jingjing was a little worried and tried again.

Qin Yicheng sneered, "Why should I think I'm beautiful just because others think I'm beautiful? Are you sick?"

"I'm just curious. Aren't you my brother? Why are you so fierce?" Yao Jingjing immediately squeezed out a few tears.

Qin Yichen was disgusted by the call of "brother" and pushed him away, got on the bus and went home.

After he left, Yao Jingjing glanced at the father and son who were pretending to buy newspapers across the street, and gave them a look that told them to leave quickly.

No matter what, at least Qin Yicheng didn't say that Yao Zhizhi and Yao Miaomiao look alike.

Maybe it was really motion sickness that made a mistake?

Yao Jingjing planned to wait and see.

Across the street, Yao Genbao wanted to visit his classmate's aunt to keep in touch. Zhu Ben asked which classmate it was and found out it was the one who forced Yao Zhizhi to jump into the water, so he quickly stopped her.

"Don't go. Isn't your classmate in jail? He might not want to talk to you."

"That's right. She wasn't very enthusiastic when I called her a while ago." Yao Genbao suspected that his classmate was too stupid and his aunt wanted to draw a clear line between them.

Tsk, the world is so fickle.

*

Yao Weiguo was lying in the hospital feeling uncomfortable all over.

He felt heartbroken when he thought about his sister's wedding and no one in his family could go.

He wished he could stab Yao Jingjing to death to vent his anger.

But it's just thought.

In a society ruled by law, we still need to find reasonable solutions.

What's more, his father is an officer. How dare he tarnish his father's glory?

But what should he do?

He could only look at Cui Wen who came to deliver the meal: "Wife, haven't you replied yet?"

"No." Cui Wen also felt strange. Yao Jingjing was in the hospital, and she went to complain to the post office leader. The postman was replaced, so it shouldn't be that she still didn't receive a reply.

After much thought, she could only think of one possibility. She put down the aluminum lunch box and asked, "Could there be someone who supports her?"

"That's right!" Yao Weiguo sat up excitedly. "Why didn't I think of that? She can block this end, or find someone to block the other end! I can't write letters anymore. I'll think of another way!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let her notice it again. What if she gets desperate and does something desperate? Our mom is a soft-hearted person." Cui Wen quickly reminded her while her mother-in-law went to the toilet.

Yao Weiguo sighed: "I know."

He leaned on the hospital bed, staring at Cui Wen with light in his eyes.

Cui Wen knew at a glance that his old habit had come back, and he had to see if she was in tune with him.

She placed the food on the folding table and said, "Eat quickly. I'll contact the third brother. Ask him to think of a solution and ask for leave to go there. It would be best if he could bring back a photo."

"I really don't want to trouble him unless it's absolutely necessary." Yao Weiguo felt sorry for the third brother. The place where he was sent to work in the countryside was too far away, in Yunnan. If he wasn't at the end of his rope, he really didn't want to trouble his younger brother.

Cui Wen understood: "Don't worry, I know. I'll call him first to see if he's at the commune. If not, I'll have my aunt send a telegram asking him to call me back. I just don't believe that all the postmen in the city listen to Yao Jingjing."

"Wife, you are so kind. How can I repay you? Can you give me your body?" Yao Weiguo felt guilty. With his fall, the burden of supporting the family fell on Cui Wen.

Although Cui Wen originally earned more.

Cui Wen was at a loss for words: "You're crazy! Take care of your legs as soon as possible. As long as you are full of energy, I will be satisfied."

This was dirty talk between husband and wife. Yao Weiguo shamelessly put his arm around her waist and said, "Okay, I'll make it up to you."

"Okay, I'll remember it for you." Cui Wen sat down and waited for him to eat.

After finishing the meal and collecting the lunch boxes, Cui Wen went to the workplace to make a phone call. As expected, the third child had gone to the mountains to collect herbs. After hanging up the phone, Cui Wen called her aunt again.

The full text of the telegram reads: "Hua, this is your sister-in-law. I have an urgent matter. Please call back."

There was no other way. In order to prevent the telegram from being intercepted, we had to talk about it over the phone.

There are not many places that can afford to install a landline phone these days. Cui Wen is a mid-level designer and has one in her office.

My father-in-law is of a high rank, and he does have a phone at home in the compound, but since Yao Jingjing is there, it's safer to call her office.

As for Yao Weihua, don’t mention it.

The villages are all in the mountains, far away from the mountains, and you have to go to the county commune to get a telephone.

Yao Weihua met a noble man who valued talent and personally took him to grow herbs.

I'm often not in the commune, so it's safer to send a telegram.

Two days later, Cui Wen received a call back.

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"

"The telegram arrived so quickly?"

"No, I met Xiao Qian from the commune, and he told me you were looking for me."

"Wei Hua, whatever you're doing right now, forget about it. Think of a way to get a letter of introduction and go back to your hometown. Your elder brother and I are 99% sure that Yao Jingjing is not our parents' biological daughter. Your younger sister should be named Yao Zhizhi, and she's currently living away from home. Let me tell you the details of what's going on..."

Five minutes later, Yao Weihua hung up the phone.

He took off his straw hat and his raincoat.

I sat in the commune courtyard and smoked leaf tobacco for half a day.

When it was almost dark, his master came back.

I quickly went up to him and said, "Master, my younger sister is getting married. I want to go back and ask you to write a letter of introduction for me."

The short, sturdy and dark man looked up at him quietly and waved his hand, which meant he agreed and asked him to follow him.

In order to pass on the family's unique skills of traditional Chinese medicine, his master moved away from the downtown area and hid deep in the mountains. He found a particularly secluded cave and hid many medical books.

He will come back after he finishes the things his sister-in-law asked him to do.

But, sister-in-law, are you really not joking?

My little sister is actually fake?

He had to go back and verify it quickly.

Soon, he got the letter of introduction and three big unity notes, which were his wages for working for his master.

Seeing that it was still early and there was still time to go to the bus station to catch a bus, Yao Weihua set off quickly.

Friends and relatives all say that he looks like his mother, with a boyish appearance.

Actually, he felt okay.

After coming to Yunnan, he got a lot darker, climbed high mountains, went down deep valleys, collected medicinal herbs, and made Chinese medicine. He developed a body of tendon muscles. Now no one should say that he looks delicate.

When he got on the train, he stretched out his body.

Oh, I've been working for more than a year and it's rare for me to relax. I feel so lazy.

My eldest sister-in-law warned me not to rush to recognize her after seeing her, in case Yao Jingjing and Yao Erdan became desperate and endangered my younger sister's life.

What's more, she married a sickly man. If her brother-in-law gets hurt, won't she become a widow?

The eldest sister-in-law also asked him to find a way to get a photo of Zhang Xiaomei and send it back, which seemed to be quite difficult.

Since riding the train was boring anyway, he decided to rehearse various possible situations first.

The most important thing is, how can I get in touch with this sister without arousing suspicion?

Hmm... This is really troublesome. I'm about to do something bad.

Let's pretend to be a beggar. With his dark face, he looks quite like one.

His hair just happened to be long enough to cover his face.

He is so smart!

At the same time, Yao Jingzong, after finishing the meeting, was preparing to return to Northeast China.

My train is tomorrow, and I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I might as well go out for a walk and catch up with some old comrades.

As soon as I arrived at the bus stop, I ran into an acquaintance.

"Old Chang!" He almost thought he had made a mistake and quickly grabbed the old friend who was passing by.

Chang Dongqing was on his way with a pile of documents in his arms. He was going to give a special lecture at the Agricultural College soon.

Seeing an old acquaintance, he was also surprised: "Old Yao?"

"Oh, it's really you!" Yao Jingzong hugged his old friend.

Chang Dongqing checked the time and said, "Lao Yao, I'm busy now, but I'll be free after 5pm. Go to the state-owned restaurant across from the Agricultural College and wait for me. I'll treat you. We haven't seen each other for ages, so let's get together!"

"Great!" Yao Jingzong was very excited. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land was a great joy in life!

Chang Dongqing pushed his glasses and walked a few steps before he remembered something: "By the way, why didn't you reply to the letter I wrote you that year?"

"Letter? What letter?" Yao Jingzong was confused.

Chang Dongqing stepped back suspiciously: "What? You didn't receive it? Moved?"

"No." Yao Jingzong was confused. Why couldn't he understand what his old brother was saying?

Chang Dongqing told him seriously, "Eight years ago, there was a severe drought in your hometown. I went there to conduct an agricultural survey and saw a little girl who was almost starving to death. She looked a lot like your Miaomiao. I really wanted to adopt her, but her parents insisted on asking me for 200 yuan. I gave them the money, and then someone who claimed to be the child's uncle came along and snatched her away. I wanted to ask you if that child was a relative of yours. I don't know who your relatives are back home, so it's not easy for me to make the decision on my own. I wanted to ask if you wanted to go and see the child again. You didn't reply, and then I was busy on a business trip to Hunan, so I forgot about it."

What? A little girl who looks like Miaomiao?

At this moment, Yao Jingzong finally realized that Wei Guo’s suspicion was most likely true.

He pulled Evergreen to the curb and asked, "How old is that child?"

Chang Dongqing sighed, "She was probably about ten years old then, and so fair! Just like Miaomiao when she was little, and also like your wife. Especially those big, watery eyes. Her parents wanted to feed her Guanyin soil, but she refused and got beaten. I felt so sorry for her and wanted to adopt her, but it's a pity. If that child were still alive, she would probably be an adult this year, right?"

"Did you meet that kid in Yaowangzhuang?" Yao Jingzong suddenly felt a little suffocated, as if his heart was being strangled by someone with wire. Every time he breathed out blood, his throat tasted so fishy and sweet.

It hurts so much!

It seemed like his own daughter had really ended up stranded in a rural village! He had to find out what was going on!

Chang Dongqing nodded solemnly: "Yes, Yaowang Manor. What kind of friendship do we have? How could I lie to you?"

Yao Jingzong staggered and stood up, holding on to the lamppost beside the platform.

His eyes were red and he choked up, saying, "Old Chang, see you at five in the evening. I want to know all the details!"
