Chapter 59
"Comrade, I don't want to hear any stories from you, and I don't have the time to listen to your stories."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he stared at Dong Qingcheng with an expressionless face, which made Dong Qingcheng laugh out of anger.
This kid has an even worse temper than him.
But he was not really angry. After all, from the conversation with the factory leader just now, he knew how much Lu Chen cherished the opportunity to come to the factory to study, so he guessed that Lu Chen was so impatient now and probably wanted to go back to class earlier.
In that case, he won't tell those stories for now and will get straight to the point.
"Lu Chen, you are most likely my cousin, my dear cousin."
"Your mother is my long-lost aunt."
When saying this, Dong Qingcheng's expression was particularly serious, and his eyes were always on Lu Chen's face, as if he wanted to see his reaction from his expression.
What surprised him was that even after hearing such news, Lu Chen's expression did not change much. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Dong Qingcheng with a little more suspicion and vigilance, as if he was some kind of big liar.
Dong Qingcheng: “???”
"No, I'm telling the truth. Your mother once--"
Dong Qingcheng wanted to explain something further, but was left speechless by Lu Chen's three words.
"Where's the evidence?"
Yes, evidence.
Who can believe such a statement without any evidence?
Dong Qingcheng certainly knew this, so he came to find Lu Chen, intending to talk to him about the matter and then go with him to find his mother to get things clear.
Although I heard from his grandparents that his aunt was not very old when she was abducted, she was already sensible enough and should have some impression of what happened at home at that time.
In that case, everything would become clear if he went to see Lu Chen's mother.
"I'm just telling you first, and then I'll go see your mother and make sure it's done."
Dong Qingcheng spoke quickly: "I will definitely give you the evidence. There is no benefit in me lying to you!"
But after he finished speaking, Lu Chen suddenly looked at him quietly with a look that Dong Qingcheng couldn't understand.
He tried to analyze it, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be a flash of sarcasm in Lu Chen's eyes, which made Dong Qingcheng completely confused.
"What do you mean, kid?"
Lu Chen stopped wasting time with him and said in a cold voice.
"She is dead."
What!!!
Dong Qingben originally wanted to teach Lu Chen a lesson, but he didn't expect to hear such news. He could no longer remain calm and looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"What on earth is going on and when did this happen?"
Dong Qingcheng simply could not accept the fact that Lu Chen's mother, his aunt, might have died.
If this is true, how sad the elderly and his mother would be.
However, his shock and sadness seemed so sudden to Lu Chen that he could not empathize with him at all.
Because Dong Qingcheng couldn't be sure whether his mother was the aunt he mentioned. What if he simply mistook her for the wrong person?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen lost even more patience.
"Comrade, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
During the time he was chatting with Dong Qingcheng, he didn't know where the class was going, so he had to go back immediately to catch up.
Fortunately, at this moment Dong Qingcheng was completely immersed in the news and had not yet come to his senses, so he did not care about Lu Chen's departure. He just continued to stand there blankly with his brows tightly wrinkled.
After Lu Chen returned to the workshop where he had class, Zhou Tong immediately asked him with concern if anything had happened. Lu Chen shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong.
Dong Qingcheng's actions did not leave any trace in his heart.
After all, it was strange enough that he said for no reason that he might be his cousin. There was no evidence at all, and anyone who saw it would have to wonder if he was a liar.
Secondly.
Even if what Dong Qingcheng said was true, and his mother was really the lost daughter of the Dong family...
That has nothing to do with him.
His mother had passed away for so many years. Even before her death, she had no connection with the Dong family. As for Lu Chen? He had nothing to do with the Dong family at all. He didn't want to, nor did he expect to have any family.
Because years of loneliness have made him qualified for such a life.
What are relatives?
Maybe if he had relatives, he would be even more uncomfortable with it.
And judging from Dong Qingcheng's appearance, his family should be well off. The Dong family should be able to live well even without him and his mother.
That's enough, just pretend nothing happened.
After Lu Chen made up his mind, he quickly put the affairs of Dong Qingcheng and the Dong family behind him and devoted himself to studying.
However, Dong Qingcheng was greatly shocked by the news that Lu Chen told him.
Before coming here, Dong Qingcheng and his family thought of countless possibilities and guessed that this time they might return empty-handed, and after confirming the clues here, they still might not find the person they were looking for.
The worst possible outcome they had imagined was that the person they found was not the one they were looking for. They never considered that the person had already passed away...
At that moment, Dong Qingcheng didn't know whether he should believe that he had found the right person this time, or pray that he had found the wrong person this time.
Finally, he returned to the guesthouse and thought about it for a whole night. He decided not to give up until he reached the Yellow River. He wanted to go to Lu Chen's hometown to find out the truth!
However, after the conversation with Lu Chen that day, Dong Qingcheng understood Lu Chen's personality and temper, and knew that he was very anxious to learn to drive a tractor, so in the end he did not disturb Lu Chen's studies, but took advantage of the remaining few days to continue to inquire about more things related to Lu Chen.
The more he inquired, the heavier Dong Qingcheng's expression became.
If Lu Chen was really his cousin, then his life before this must have been extremely hard.
Since Lu Chen told Dong Qingcheng about the matter that day, he never saw him again. He didn't know whether Dong Qingcheng no longer doubted the relationship between his mother and his aunt, or had left completely. In short, he never came to see him for a few days.
Every day of studying in the county town was tense and fast for Lu Chen and his friends, and a week of study was over very quickly.
On the last day of training, everyone has to take an exam that records their learning outcomes and is also an important reference factor for the commune to select who will be the tractor driver.
In fact, after a few days of learning, not only did everyone understand their own and others' abilities, but their teachers also had a good idea of the abilities.
So when Lu Chen's test performance received unanimous praise from several senior teachers, some people present were unwilling, jealous, and unhappy, but no one dared to say that Lu Chen's performance was bad.
Finally, the factory leader kept the test results and planned to take them to the communes to which the trainees belonged. At the same time, the trainees packed their bags and prepared to go home.
Although we haven't been away from home for a particularly long time, we all want to go home early, if for no other reason than to share with our families the joy of coming to the county town and buying them gifts.
Among those who were eager to return home, Lu Chen was the most eager.
It has been seven days. He hasn't seen Meng Yinyin for seven days. He wants to go home and see her as soon as possible.
I don't know how she has been doing these days at home.
Lu Chen was the first person to pack his luggage and stand at the factory gate. They had come here together because of a unified car arranged by the town, so now they naturally had to arrange a unified car to go back. So no matter how much he wanted to get on the car and leave immediately, he still had to wait for others.
Fortunately, everyone was not slow in packing their things, and they quickly packed up and were ready to get on the bus.
However, at this moment, Dong Qingcheng, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared again.
He changed his clothes and no longer wore the military uniform. When he saw Lu Chen, he called out to him.
"Land sinking!"
When Lu Chen frowned and looked at him, Dong Qingcheng smiled at him.
"I just happened to be on my way to your group, so I'll join you on the way."
Dong Qingcheng came with the factory leader, who didn't wait for Lu Chen to answer and spoke directly with a smile.
"Oh, what a coincidence! Comrade Dong, hurry up and get in the car and set off with Comrade Lu Chen!"
After talking to Lu Chen, the factory leader couldn't help but give Lu Chen some instructions.
"Xiao Lu, as the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest. Comrade Dong has come from a long way, so you have to treat him well and help look after him on the way, okay?"
The factory manager was more of an order than a reminder.
Lu Chen pursed his lips and finally nodded silently.
It's not that he is ignorant of the ways of the world.
Before he got the job of tractor driver, he had to make a good impression on all the leaders in this field, including the leaders of the tractor factory.
After all, the commune would certainly also consider the opinions of the employees in the tractor factory, so even if Lu Chen did not want to continue contacting Dong Qingcheng, he could not refuse the factory leader's order.
Seeing that Lu Chen had compromised, Dong Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little guilty.
Ever since he knew that Lu Chen had not had a good life in recent years, he felt the urge to compensate him whenever he saw Lu Chen.
But fortunately, he never forgot that he and Lu Chen were not confirmed to be relatives. If he was really so nice to Lu Chen for no reason, what he would get in return might not be Lu Chen's gratitude, but more vigilance from him.
This brat's psychological defense is really strong.
But no matter what, under the mediation of the factory leaders, Lu Chen and Dong Qingcheng finally got on a car, which started from the county seat and slowly drove towards the town.
When the car arrived in the town, except for Lu Chen and the other five who were from the same commune, the rest of the people separated on the spot and went back to their own homes.
As for Dong Qingcheng, he naturally followed Lu Chen closely.
After all, his destination was clear, that was Lu Chen's home.
However, Lu Chen turned a blind eye to his following and simply ignored Dong Qingcheng as if he were air.
However, Zhou Tong was a little worried when he saw that Dong Qingcheng was determined to follow Lu Chen, and he couldn't help but ask him in a low voice.
"Brother Lu, what do you think that guy wants to do? Why is he following you?"
It would be fine if he followed me from the county to the town, but he is still following me now. It is impossible that he is going to follow me to Lu Chen's house, right?
