Cheng Shuqing clenched his hands into fists at his side, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
He didn't know that his aunt's death involved so many things, and that there were still people who wanted to deal with Ningning.
Afraid, what is there to be afraid of?
Since he harmed the people of their Cheng family, they should be afraid of him.
"Don't worry, Ningning, leave these things to me."
He will find out who did it and make those people pay the price.
"Well, you are my brother. If you don't help me, who will?" Qin An Ning said as a matter of course.
“I was planning to ask Uncle Zhou for help before, but now that I have you, I won’t rush to find him.
If you find out anything and can't make any progress, I'll tell him.
Brother, that little boy named Haohao might come from a prominent family, and this relationship might be something we can use to our advantage.
I forgot to ask Lu Cheng for the photo. I'll ask him to give it to you tomorrow."
Her elder brother is so smart, she doesn't have to worry about what to do.
Qin An Ning was thinking about how he could help his elder brother. It would be beneficial for them if his elder brother could quickly gain a foothold.
"Oh, there's this too." Qin An Ning turned around and reached into the cabinet, actually taking out a small medicine bottle from the space.
"This is a top-notch wound medicine, which I made based on a recipe I saw in an ancient anthology.
I originally left it for my second brother, but he was out on a mission and couldn't be contacted.
This medicine is unique in China for its hemostatic effect. If it's of interest to the higher-ups, I can share the recipe with you. You can handle the specific steps."
Anyway, Qin An Ning took out everything he could think of that could help Cheng Shuqing without reservation.
Cheng Shuqing looked at her with a gentle smile, "Alright, I've given all my family fortune to my eldest brother. Is your eldest brother so useless that he needs you to pave the way for everything for me?"
"It's not that you're useless, it's that our family is in turmoil right now. I want you to become stronger as soon as possible and protect us from the wind and rain."
I still can’t contact my eldest uncle’s family, and my second uncle, aunt, grandparents are all sent down to the countryside.
My second brother Cheng Yanlang is in the army and he becomes a missing person whenever he goes on a mission.
Besides her, now I can only rely on my eldest brother.
Cheng Shuqing patted Qin An Ning on the shoulder, and everything was said without words.
It was almost time, and the two of them quietly left the yard. Qin Anning took the things she brought for her grandparents and returned to the Heping Brigade with Cheng Shuqing.
The road was bumpy and not easy to walk on, but the brother and sister chatted about the past and arrived there unknowingly.
At the entrance of the village, Qin Anning turned off the flashlight and walked in the dark to lead the way.
Grandma and grandpa didn't know they were coming today. They had worked all day and were now lying down and asleep.
"Grandma, Grandpa." Qin An Ning knocked on the window and called them softly.
"Old man, get up quickly, Ningning is here." Grandma pushed grandpa, fumbled for the matches beside the pillow and lit the kerosene lamp.
Grandpa quickly got up and opened the door. When he saw the person coming, his nose couldn't help but feel sore and tears welled up in his eyes. "Come in and talk."
"Shuqing!" Grandma was not as patient as grandpa. When she saw her grandson whom she hadn't seen for more than three years, she hugged him and couldn't help crying.
Cheng Shuqing's eyes were also red, "Grandma, don't cry, don't hurt yourself."
The old lady was so excited that it took her a long time to recover.
The family gathered together and asked about the things that concerned them. Cheng Shuqing and Qin Anning tacitly hid those things from the two old people and only told them the good things.
The time we spend together is always short. It feels like more than two hours have passed before we have even said a few words.
"Grandpa and grandma, you must take good care of yourselves. I will find a way to get you out as soon as possible."
"Shuqing, take care of yourself first. We have Ningning taking good care of us here. Don't worry about us."
Grandpa doesn't want to be a burden to his children. He is already very content to have such sensible and filial grandson and granddaughter.
Having enjoyed wealth and glory for most of his life, he no longer has any regrets.
Parting always makes people feel depressed. They left the village reluctantly and were both silent when they went back.
Because they had to go back to Beijing to complete the formalities before Cheng Shuqing's matter could be fully settled, they set off for Beijing the next day.
Lu Cheng asked someone to buy three sleeper berths on the train. Qin An Ning cooked some eggs for them to take with them, but did not prepare any dry food.
There is a dining car on the train. It would be nice to go there and have hot meals directly. It doesn’t cost a lot of money.
With the sound of clanging, the train gradually moved away. Qin Anning stood on the platform looking at the empty railroad tracks, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
I had just spent one day with my eldest brother before we parted ways. I don’t know when the family will be reunited.
Lu Cheng guessed Qin Anning's thoughts at a glance. Since there was no one around, he put his arm around her shoulders and joked, "Although I know the person on the train is my eldest brother, I would still be jealous if you do this."
Qin Anning squinted at him and said, "Then you can just sit there in the vinegar jar."
"No, that's too sour. You'll dislike me."
"You say that as if I don't dislike you now."
The two of them bickered playfully, dispelling the sadness of parting.
Qin Anning returned to the factory to continue her work, while Cheng Shuqing faced many problems after returning to Beijing.
After getting off the train, Cheng Shuqing wanted to send Wei Anan back, but he didn't expect that Wei's father had already sent a car to pick her up.
"An An, go back and have a good rest. I'll visit you another day."
"Shuqing, come with me in the car. I'll take you back."
Cheng Shuqing is self-aware. Wei Anan brought him back this time, and the Wei family has a lot of opinions about him. From now on, he must always put himself in the right position.
"I can take the tram back by myself. You must be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time. Be obedient and go back to rest."
"Then you must come to me." Wei Anan looked at Cheng Shuqing eagerly, asking for his guarantee.
Cheng Shuqing nodded, his voice soft but full of promise, "I'll come find you once I'm settled."
After watching Wei Anan's car drive away, Cheng Shuqing turned around and went to the bus stop with two large packages.
I don’t know what Ningning stuffed in it. She was so mysterious and insisted that he come back to open it.
I took the tram back to my aunt's courtyard. The house was just as Ningning said, bare and empty.
Because no one had lived in the house for a long time, there was a thick layer of dust in the house.
Although he hadn't been back for more than three years, Beijing was where he had lived for twenty years, so it wasn't difficult for him to go to the black market to exchange some tickets or something.
Cheng Shuqing bought some things he needed right away. After returning, he cleaned the house first, tidying it up inside and out. He didn't feel comfortable until the windows and tables were spotless.
This is my aunt's home, and she loves cleanliness the most.
After washing his face and hands with water again, Cheng Shuqing sat down to open the package Qin An Ning had prepared for him.
