Chapter 88 Is it him?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, you will examine the past and rediscover the details that you usually don’t notice. It turns out that everything has a traceable path.
Lin Ting did not sleep all night. He replayed everything that happened after coming to Pengcheng in his mind like a movie, scene by scene, and finally came to a conclusion:
Something is wrong with Lin Ping!
And there is a high probability that she has a partner!
Why are you so sure?
Because this time after Lin Ting and Zhou Qing came to Pengcheng, Lin Ping was not like last year. As long as he didn't have to work overtime, he would come to Lin Qiu's place every day and was happy to do so even if he had to sleep on the sofa.
This year, except for the first two days when the old couple first arrived in Pengcheng, when Lin Ping stayed at his sister's house, he basically just ate a meal and left, and this frequency was once a week.
Lin Ting had always thought that it was because Lin Ping was busy with work. After seeing Lin Ping's evasive attitude and his fleeing back yesterday, he realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
What made Lin Ting even more certain was the "Uncle Yang" that Wang Shan mentioned unconsciously.
Which boy would give the big doll that he had worked hard and spent a lot of money to catch to a kid he didn’t even know?
Besides, I know my own daughter well. Although Lin Ping is impatient and usually doesn't pay much attention to details, she would never accept gifts from friends who are not very familiar to her. Even if Shan Shan likes the gift very much, she would rather spend money to buy one than owe anyone a favor.
The more Lin Ting thought about it, the more certain he became, and the more he couldn't sleep.
Even though the Lin Ting couple often complain about Lin Ping in words, they also feel sorry for her in their hearts. Otherwise, would they let her be and not get married at the age of 25 or 26?
Don’t forget, the last time Zhou Qing was so angry with Liu Xiang that he ran away from home was because he heard Liu Xiang gossiping about her daughter!
The lush cabbages that he had worked so hard to grow were about to be taken away by a wild boar from somewhere. It would be unpleasant for anyone, so how could Lin Ting sleep well?
"Old man, what happened to you last night? You tossed and turned. Are you worried about something?"
After Zhou Qing finished washing up, he walked to Lin Ting.
"Did it bother you?"
Lin Ting was watering the plants on the balcony with a watering can in his hand. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at his wife with concern.
"You didn't quarrel!" Zhou Qing pointed at Lin Ting's eyes, "Look in the mirror. The two dark circles under your eyes are just like the panda that Shanshan brought back yesterday. If someone didn't know, they would think you were stealing last night!"
"I'm not going to steal, I'm going to catch a thief!" Lin Ting muttered softly.
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing his wife's puzzled expression, Lin Ting changed the subject subtly, "I mean, why can't Shanshan pay it back? We're going to be late!"
When Zhou Qing heard this, he quickly ran to the bedroom. He must not be late for school. Shanshan looked at him and it was obvious that she was tired from playing yesterday!
After sending his granddaughter off, Lin Ting sent his wife to a processing plant near the community. He left quickly after saying "I'm going to the winery!"
Lin Ting is not lying.
He did take a look around Lao Yi's small brewery first, and then gave Lao Yi's nephew A Guang some instructions on how much the rice wine needed to be cooled to, before slowly walking out.
"Brother Lin, let's have lunch together later!"
Old Man Yi was chatting with a worker at the entrance of the winery. When he saw Lin Ting coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
“No, no!” Lin Ting waved his hand. “I have something else to do today. I’ll treat you another day!”
"Then it's settled!"
Old Man Yi didn't argue any further and continued talking to the workers.
Lin Ting walked slowly to the Hongxiu Garment Factory.
It was not yet eleven o'clock at this time, and the female workers in the garment factory were busy operating sewing machines. There were few people on the nearby streets.
Lin Ting walked around the neighborhood patiently, looking at the shops on both sides of the street.
By noon, there were still few people coming out of the garment factory.
Lin Ting was not in a hurry either. He ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a plate of peanuts at a Lanzhou ramen restaurant opposite Hongxiu. He ate slowly, his eyes fixed on the gate of the garment factory from time to time.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Lin Ting strolled around the neighborhood before leaving. In the afternoon, after picking up his granddaughter, he found an excuse to sneak out again.
He stayed near the garment factory until his meal was almost over, then hurried back.
"Why do you seem a little strange today? Why do you keep running out?"
Before going to bed, Zhou Qing looked at Lin Ting carefully and felt that something was wrong with him since last night.
"What could be wrong with me?" Lin Ting said calmly, his eyes flickering for a moment, "It's not that the winery has been busy lately!"
"I've never seen you like this before?"
"It's almost the end of the year, the winery is doing good business, so there's a lot to do!"
Lin Ting was not lying. The closer it got to the Chinese New Year, the more things happened at the winery.
But working overtime is the workers' job, Lin Ting only needs to give instructions to A Guang and check the temperature of the fire.
Of course, Lin Ting did not mention this to Zhou Qing.
When Zhou Qing heard this, he also thought it made sense. He put the matter aside, lay down and prepared to go to sleep.
"Old man, you should go to bed early too!"
"I'm going to sleep now!"
Lin Ting followed and lay down.
Lin Ting spent the next few days hanging around the Hongxiu Garment Factory, and even the security guards at the factory gate stared at him warily.
Finally, New Year's Day arrived.
New Year's Day means the arrival of the new year. Although people in rural areas do not treat New Year's Day as a festival, Shenzhen still makes a lot of decorations to welcome the arrival of the new year.
Flowers and colorful flags were placed on both sides of the road, and strings of colorful windmills were hung in the square. When the wind blew, the windmills kept turning.
Songs welcoming the New Year began to be played on buses, and reports of leaders visiting nursing homes to show their support began to appear on TV news.
Lin Ting was absent-mindedly strolling on the street with his wife and granddaughter.
"Old man, what's wrong with you lately?" Zhou Qing was a little unhappy.
These past few days I've been going out every day when I have nothing to do, and I don't come back until mealtime. I finally have a holiday, but I still look uneasy when I take my granddaughter out to play.
Lin Ting wanted to brush the matter off, but when he saw his wife's slightly raised eyebrows, he had to swallow his words.
"Let's go find Pingping? She must be on vacation too!" Lin Ting said seriously.
"Let her go play with the young people!" Although Zhou Qing was somewhat tempted, he still refused.
"What if she didn't go out? We can't leave her alone in the dormitory, right? We can't let our aunt spend New Year's Day alone, right? Shanshan."
Lin Ting was afraid that Zhou Qing would not agree, so he dragged his granddaughter into the mix.
When Wang Shan heard her aunt, she immediately looked at Zhou Qing pleadingly, "Grandma~"
"Then let's go to her place and take a look!" Zhou Qing looked at the old man and the child and had no choice but to compromise.
When I arrived at Lin Ping's dormitory, I found that she had indeed gone out to play.
"See, I told you she went out to play with some young people!" Zhou Qing glared at Lin Ting, "It was a wasted trip!"
Lin Ting smiled awkwardly, "Then let's go out and see if we can run into him!"
"Pengcheng is so big, how is it possible to meet him?" Zhou Qing didn't believe it.
Sometimes Murphy's Law is so magical.
Pengcheng is so big, and I happened to encounter him. The probability is incredible!
The old couple, holding Wang Shan's hand, happened to run into Lin Ping and a young man talking hand in hand at the corner of the street.
The two groups looked at each other.
"Auntie!"
"Uncle Yang!"
Wang Shan greeted loudly and politely.
Lin Ting stared at the young man and felt that he looked familiar.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head: Isn't this him?
