"Speaking of which, Ah Ming hasn't sent a letter home for a month. I wonder if something has happened to him."
Mentioning Luo Qingming, Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, a look of sorrow lingering on her face.
I'm worried that he and Huo Jing have run into trouble, and I'm also worried that they won't be able to handle it.
Qin Yushen wasn't too worried. Luo Qingming was quick-witted, tactful, and had Huo Jing by her side—that guy was no ordinary person.
Major incidents are unlikely, but it's hard to guarantee that minor issues won't arise that can't be resolved temporarily.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Give me the address where A-Ming sent the letter last time, and I'll have my comrades in Yangcheng check on the situation."
After a month without any news, Qin Yushen felt it would be better to send someone to check on things.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "The letter is in the bedside table drawer, it's the top one."
Qin Yushen took it out and, without wasting any time, immediately made a phone call.
Having a telephone at home is so convenient.
"How was it?" Lin Xiaoxiao sat up as he walked into the room and asked expectantly.
"Not so fast." Qin Yushen walked over helplessly and tucked her into bed. "You're dressed too lightly, make sure you're covered up properly, or you'll catch a cold."
Catching a cold during pregnancy is truly unbearable.
The person Qin Yushen found was very reliable. The phone rang early the next morning; it was someone explaining the situation.
"Thanks, Lao Gao. I'll treat you to drinks when I come to Beijing sometime." After saying that, Qin Yushen hung up the phone, his expression slightly somber.
Lin Xiaoxiao keenly noticed this change and asked anxiously, "Are A-Ming and the others still in Guangzhou?"
Qin Yushen shook his head. "Old Gao asked around, and apparently they've been gone for about a month."
"You brat," Lin Xiaoxiao thought with some worry, "Where did he go? He didn't even write a letter. Isn't he just making people worry on purpose?"
"Judging from their trajectory, they've probably headed to the port city," Qin Yushen analyzed calmly.
Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't gotten over her anger yet when it rose again, "Hong Kong City? Those two are really bold."
She spoke calmly, but in reality, she had already thought of a thousand ways to deal with her younger brother.
You brat, you'd better not let her catch you.
otherwise......
Lin Xiaoxiao took the egg and slammed it heavily on the table, breaking the shell. "If he went to Hong Kong, then it's no wonder I haven't received a letter in a month."
Hong Kong and the mainland do not use the same postal system, and Hong Kong has a complex political background, making it extremely difficult to send a letter to the mainland.
It's also very difficult for people on the mainland to find out what's happening in Hong Kong.
There was no solution for the time being, so Lin Xiaoxiao could only keep it to herself.
When Chu Wuyan learned of her dilemma, he offered her a suggestion: "Some of our comrades are in Hong Kong. If you're worried about your brother, you can ask them to look after him."
"no."
Lin Xiaoxiao rejected the proposal as soon as it was made.
"We cannot joke with the lives of our comrades."
For the sake of their mission, they risked their lives to infiltrate the port city, which was a great test of their will.
If Luo Qingming exposed them, that would be an outcome no one wanted to see.
Chu Wuyan scratched his head, realizing his mistake, and chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, just take it as me talking nonsense."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll think of another way."
It seemed that God knew of her anxious state of mind. Three days later, a letter from the port city arrived in Beijing.
After reading the letter, Lin Xiaoxiao slammed her hand on the table in annoyance, "You brat, you almost scared your sister to death."
The letter was a thick stack of pages. The first two pages were Luo Qingming apologizing to her, saying that he forgot to tell her when he left Yangcheng and hoped that Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't be angry. He even added a parenthetical note next to it, which was quite cheeky.
(Scientific evidence shows that getting angry too much will likely result in having a baby with a bad temper.)
The following section briefly recounts his and Huo Jing's journey from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, and mentions that they found Huo Jing's mother in Hong Kong.
Upon seeing this sentence, Lin Xiaoxin was overjoyed, thinking to herself that this was the prelude to her little brother's return.
As we continued reading, the nascent hope was shattered.
Although they found Huo Jing's mother, they had to stay in Hong Kong for some reasons that were not yet clear, and their return date was uncertain.
Uncertain return date?
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, typical of someone who forgets about their sister and nephew once they have a brother.
At the end of the letter, Luo Qingming, perhaps guided by some wise person, wrote: "My beautiful, lovely, understanding, intelligent, and the best sister in the world, she certainly won't be angry with me, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled.
It's okay~ It's okay~
Considering how hard he tried and how much effort he put into praising himself, I decided not to hold it against him.
I carefully put the letter back in the envelope and then placed it in the drawer.
Sending letters from the mainland to Hong Kong is even more difficult. Luo Qingming was obviously aware of this situation, so he specifically said that there was no need to reply and that he would send a letter once every two weeks from now on.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't intend to reply to him. Given her current status, frequent contact with Hong Kong would not bring her any benefit.
After receiving news that her younger brother was safe, Lin Xiaoxiao thought that nothing else would happen and she could comfortably stay at home and wait for the Spring Festival to arrive.
She and Qin Yushen had agreed that they would spend the Spring Festival at home together, and then invite friends over for dinner after the holiday.
As for the Qin family, going back once on the second day of the Lunar New Year is enough.
"Who said it's deserted and quiet? It's so comfortable!" Lin Xiaoxiao lay comfortably in the rocking chair, with a small table next to her, on which were various peanuts, melon seeds, pastries, and tea.
