The next second, Lu Yuan stumbled. Anyone who didn't know better would just think he had accidentally fallen down the steps, but only he knew that he was shocked by what the guy inside was saying on the phone.
"Grandma, I'm not going back. I just came to the countryside, how can I go back?"
"You don't need to send me money. Didn't I say I have it?"
"Okay, okay, you can send it. Please don't cry. You don't need so much, just two hundred yuan a month will do..."
These two hundred yuan almost cost Lu Yuan his life.
Good heavens!
What kind of family is this? They don't even think 200 yuan a month is a lot?
How much does this family earn in a month?
He glanced back and thought, "Hmm, looks like someone easy to fool."
Maybe in the future I'll have another customer like the post office lady in the village.
No, there should be two!
That aloof Xiao Zhiqing also seemed to be someone who wasn't short of money.
The cold, aloof person he was thinking about turned around and looked at his departing figure after he left. His deep eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected that there would be such an interesting person in the place where he had been sent to the countryside.
He's both capable and lucky; not only can he drive and repair tractors, but he also married a beautiful wife and had triplets. He's truly a winner in life.
Another thing is that this person looks somewhat familiar, as if we've known each other for a long time.
However, he internally rejected this feeling and automatically ignored it.
He looked away, then at the person in front of him who was still rambling on, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Is this heartless guy trying to use up the only 40-odd yuan he has on him?
Why are we suddenly chatting about everyday things?
"Grandma, after we arrived in the county town, a young man from the village came to pick us up in a truck..."
"Grandma, you don't know, this driver is really skilled. He can even fix tractors. He gets a 200 yuan bonus for fixing one. And his wife is pregnant. I just heard him say she's having triplets..."
"Yes, Grandma, I'll make good friends with people. I've already become good friends with one of the educated youth. Since there wasn't enough room at the educated youth settlement, we rented a room in the commune members' quarters. He looks serious but is actually a very nice person. He even told me not to flaunt my wealth..."
Xiao Fan: ......
How come he had no idea they had become friends!
The person who was about to hang up on him after listening to his rambling now felt it was inappropriate to show impatience as a friend.
But after half an hour, he finally couldn't wait any longer and spoke up with a faint reminder.
Do you have enough money on your phone?
Yu Shaoheng snapped out of his daze, quickly said goodbye to his grandmother, and hung up the phone.
In comparison, Xiao Fan made the call much faster, without having to wait for the other party to call back. The whole process took only a minute and consisted of no more than five sentences.
It arrived the day before yesterday.
"The educated youth settlement was too crowded, so I bought a house but was short of money, so I sent some over."
"I haven't seen my aunt and uncle yet. I'll go to the health center to look for them later."
"That's all for now, we'll talk about it next time."
He hung up the phone without hesitation after saying that.
Yu Shaoheng looked bewildered. "Xiao Fan, why did you only say a few words? Did you not bring enough money? I still have some left."
Xiao Fan: "I've said everything I needed to say."
Yu Shaoheng understood, "So you don't talk much to your family either."
Xiao Fan pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He paid the phone bill and walked out, with Yu Shaoheng quickly following behind.
"Are you going to the health center? Are your aunt and uncle sick and hospitalized? Why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative first to buy some things, and I'll go with you to see your aunt and uncle?"
Xiao Fan: "Your aunt and uncle are hospitalized."
"Huh? I didn't hear my grandma say that."
Xiao Fan: ......
Taking a deep breath, she patiently explained, "My uncle is a doctor who works at the health center."
"Oh, I see. Are you going to the health center to see your aunt and uncle now?"
Xiao Fan didn't speak, his brows furrowed into a knot.
After a long while, he sighed, "I'm not going."
However, when the two of them had walked a short distance and saw the health center, he slowly stopped and, after thinking for a moment, went inside.
"Hey, didn't you say you weren't going?"
Yu Shaoheng was completely bewildered and quickly followed.
She wondered to herself, "How can a grown man be so fickle?"
As the two left the clinic, Xiao Fan's brows furrowed even more, while Yu Shaoheng was quite excited.
"What a coincidence! Your aunt and uncle are also in Changhe Brigade. When we get back, you can ask the brigade leader to find out where they are."
After saying that, he thought of Lu Yuan and Lu Yuanchao again, "Right, there's no need to go back and ask. Just ask Comrade Lu Yuan or Comrade Lu Yuanchao when we meet them later."
Xiao Fan paused, remembering what Lu Yuan had said on the phone earlier: his godparents lived at home taking care of his wife, and his godfather was a very skilled doctor.
Is it really such a coincidence?
Could it be his aunt and uncle?
If so, that's quite a coincidence.
skillful?
Something flashed through my mind!
Suddenly, a glint of light appeared in his eyes, and they lit up.
My aunt's face and Lu Yuan's face kept switching in my mind and then overlapping.
He was surprised to find that Lu Yuan seemed familiar; it turned out that his features were so similar to his aunt's.
I see!
"Bang, bang, bang—"
My heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of my throat. I tried to raise my hand to press against my wildly beating heart, but I found that my hand was also shaking.
When Yu Shaoheng saw the person suddenly stop walking, he was so frightened that he almost died. He quickly went forward to help the person up.
