In the sixth grade, Lin Cheng, who was studying in the county town, did not go home on weekends.
Song Chen finished his work and had nothing to do, so he urged Lin Lu: "Let's go to the county to find Brother Lin Cheng. I haven't been to the county yet."
Lin Lu was reading a book and gave him a look: "Do you have money?"
It takes more than two hours to get to the county town by bus, and the ticket costs one yuan.
She couldn't even come up with two cents of her own.
Song Chen smiled mysteriously at her and patted his pocket: "I have it."
One dollar is a lot of money.
Lin Lu asked him seriously, "Where are you from?"
Song Chen: "Anyway, it's not what you think. It's not stolen! Do you want to go or not? If not, I'll go alone. When I find Brother Lin Cheng, I'll ask him to take me around the county and buy me lots of delicious food."
Lin Lu lowered his head and swallowed quietly, feeling a little conflicted.
She knew it wasn't right to run away without telling her parents, but she knew they would definitely not agree if she told them.
She also wanted to go to the county town to see what her brother described it to be like.
"Tell me where the money comes from, and I'll go with you."
Song Chen said proudly: "I earned it myself."
Lin Lu pressed on: "How did you make money?"
Song Chen: "The Liu brothers won it playing games."
Lin Lu pursed her lips and uttered a sermon: "Gambling is not good."
Song Chen grabbed her hand and shook it: "This is not gambling, let's go quickly, the adults will be back soon and they will definitely not let us go."
Lin Lu seemed to have made up her mind. She put away her books and homework, cleaned the house, and quietly followed Song Chen out the door.
It took almost an hour to get from the village to the town. The two were worried about meeting villagers on the way, so they hid and took an hour and a half to get to the town.
At this time, the adults are about to come home from the fields to cook.
When the two men arrived at the station, they saw a piece of paper pasted in front of the car that said it was heading to the county town.
Song Chen pulled Lin Lu onto the bus and said sweetly to the conductor, "Pretty sister, we are both children and we only need one seat. Can you charge only one cent?"
Lin Lu nodded beside him.
She hasn't grown much yet and looks small, like a bean sprout.
Auntie: "Why are you going to the county? Where are your parents?"
Song Chen: "Go find my brother."
The conductor asked again, "Where are your parents?"
"The adults are also in the county town. They took my brother there first and asked my sister and me to go over now." Song Chen lied without blushing or beating his heart.
The driver opened the window and smoked a cigarette. "Your parents are really generous. They're not afraid that you'll be caught by human traffickers. Your sister looks so pretty. It would be bad if she wasn't taken away to be a child bride."
Song Chen held Lin Lu's hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "No, I will protect her. My brother will come to pick us up after we get off the car."
The conductor said: "Okay, you two just sit in the front. I'll call you when we get to your stop. Don't get off the bus with others."
"Thank you, beautiful sister. You are so beautiful and kind-hearted. You are the Bodhisattva Guanyin who has come down to earth."
Lin Lu was no longer shocked by his constant praising words. She listened to them blankly, and Song Chen pressed his shoulders: "Lu Lu, thank your brothers and sisters quickly."
At their age, they are called a driver couple and belong to different classes. I really don't know who is taking advantage.
Lin Lu: "Thank you, brother and sister."
"Just call me uncle or auntie. I'm probably older than your mother."
"Okay, beautiful aunt." Another round of smooth talk.
There were not many people on the bus, and the conductor patiently chatted with them for a few more words.
"Your parents must be very good-looking, so they gave birth to such good-looking children like you and your sister."
Song Chen: "Half and half, Auntie is the prettiest in my mind."
The ticket seller was so pleased with his coaxing that he didn't let the two of them sit on top of each other in the same seat.
Song Chen asked Lin Lu to sit inside while he sat outside. He took out a wrinkled dollar and gave it to the ticket seller.
There are only two dollars in my pocket, and I need another one when I get back. Soon the two of us will only have one dollar to buy food.
"Okay, we've arrived at the station. You two get off. Your brother will be there to pick you up." The conductor reminded us when we arrived at the station.
Song Chen: "At the entrance of the middle school."
"Middle school? It's still quite far from here. Let's wait a little longer."
The car is out of gas, and I have to pass by that place to refuel.
Song Chen knew that he was going to send them to school, and he kept thanking him.
Fortunately, I met a kind person.
Finally arrived at the county middle school.
The two of them pointed at an adult and said he was their parent, then got out of the car.
I know Lin Cheng's grade, but the school doesn't allow people to enter on weekends. The security guard at the gate said that the person they were looking for went out early in the morning and hasn't returned yet.
Lin Cheng has good grades and many people in school know his name.
After asking the security guard, they found out that he would not be back until after 4 pm. The two of them had no choice but to wait at the door, hoping that Lin Cheng would come back early.
Song Chen squinted his eyes in the sun and accidentally saw Lin Lu rubbing her stomach. He asked, "Lin Lulu, are you hungry?"
Lin Lu nodded: "When will my brother come back?"
He squatted down next to Lin Lu, supporting his face with his hands: "I don't know either."
The sun was getting bigger and bigger, making people feel dizzy.
Song Chen suggested: "Why don't we go buy something to fill our stomachs first."
Lin Lu: "I don't have any money."
Li Xianglian only gave Lin Lu two cents of pocket money a month, and Lin Lu didn't save a penny.
Song Chen: "We still have two dollars left. After deducting the bus fare, we can buy something worth one dollar..."
