Chapter 368: Going Back to Live - The Sickly Young Auntie's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

After Mother Cen took Lin Qing out, Father Cen called Cen Xi into the study.

"Okay, now that your mother is not here, tell me what you encountered along the way." Father Cen felt that there was something wrong with his second son when he came back this time. He suspected that something happened on the way that prompted him to change.

Cen Xi smiled with relief. As expected, he could not hide anything from this old fox, Cen's father.

"Dad, it's not a big deal. We just ran into some human traffickers and spies." Cen Xi tried to speak in a calm tone.

Father Cen sat up straight with a serious look on his face. “Are you coming back to visit your relatives with a mission?” But the military district here has not received any information!

He knew that his son was researching machinery, had people protecting him, and occasionally had contact with the military industry here, but if anything really happened, he would have to inform him, the highest leader of the unit, first!

"There is no mission. That was fake news, so we didn't notify them."

"You are using your bodies as bait?" Father Cen said with disapproval, "How can you do this? You are putting your own safety in danger. This is irresponsible, okay?"

"We have a lot of people accompanying us to protect us."

"Humph! So what? Did something unexpected happen? Otherwise, do you need to act cute to divert your mother's attention when you come back this time?" Father Cen knew his son well.

"Dad, we were careless this time."

"Humph! You let your wife come back with you on such a dangerous trip. What were you thinking?"

Cen Xi was silent at this moment.

He really didn't do very well!

All of this was kept secret from Lin Qing. Lin Qing was an ordinary person, and if he knew too much, he would inevitably be afraid of being exposed. Therefore, both the superiors and the security personnel around him unanimously decided to keep this matter a secret from Lin Qing.

Lin Qing thought all along that it was because Cen Xi was too talented that the spies persisted in their pursuit, and he didn't realize that it was all because of the false information they had released.

"I'm sorry, I took it for granted."

"What's the point of apologizing to me? The most important thing is to apologize to your wife."

"She had no idea there was something else going on with this journey."

Father Cen looked at him in confusion, "You are really good!"

Cen Xi immediately understood his father's sarcasm and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "We wanted to give it a try at first. We launched an operation to capture spies some time ago. We were afraid that there would be some fish that slipped through the net, so we had this mission."

"Alas~" Father Cen finally sighed helplessly.

What else can we do? The matter is already a foregone conclusion. The main reason is that their country is still very weak, and there are all kinds of spies planted in the country. There are too many of them to count and it is very troublesome.

It doesn't seem surprising that they would make such a decision.

"Okay, okay. Since you don't plan to tell your mother, don't let her worry."

"Okay! I understand."

"Alright, alright. You go out first!" He thought out of the blue, this guy is so bold. If his mother gets to know about it someday, he will definitely not be in a good mood.

——

Ever since Lin Qing and Cen Xi set out, Lin's mother always felt a little uncomfortable and would suddenly call out their names from time to time.

Father Lin saw the old woman's face full of disappointment and lost in thought, "What's wrong? Someone is here to trouble you."

Mother Lin shook her head. "No, it's okay. I just miss my daughter a little."

"Oh~" Not to mention the old woman, even this old man is missing his concubine!

"How about we go back to that compound and stay there for a few days?" Although they were used to living in this big compound, it was not impossible for them to move back to the Lin family's house.

Lin's mother lives in this house now, and she misses him when she sees the things in the house. She readily agreed to Lin's father's suggestion.

The old couple moved very quickly. They packed some clothes and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, Lin's father and mother checked again vigilantly.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Hey? Where are you two going?"

"Alas, we two old people plan to go back to the family compound over there and stay for a few days."

"Why so sudden?" asked Aunt Li.

"It's not sudden. I haven't been back for a long time. This time, it just so happens that my daughter is visiting relatives. Why don't you stay for a few days?"

"Oh!" Everyone believed this statement.

This is mainly due to the fact that the old couple used to go back every one or two weeks. They all know that old people tend to miss the past, so they often go back to chat with their old sisters and old colleagues.

Now that Lin Qing and his wife were not around, it was indeed a good time to go back, so everyone asked a few questions and then stopped paying any more attention.

It is indeed a bit problematic that Mr. and Mrs. Lin are returning to their family compound at this time.

Some time ago, Su Shengnan was directly linked to a spy. This made the courtyard tense for many days. Every day, they were afraid that someone would come to the door, and everyone kept their tails between their legs. The courtyard was no longer as lively as before.

So Mr. and Mrs. Lin also wanted to change their environment temporarily, and it just so happened that this incident happened today.

In fact, if Lin Qing was at home, she would also support her parents' move. Ever since the spy incident, the atmosphere in this courtyard has been a little weird.

And judging by the situation, this atmosphere will not last long. If I leave for a while, at least I won't feel so depressed.

The old couple returned to the Lin family's courtyard. The house was relatively clean, and they cleaned it together, finishing it in about an hour.

Mother Lin patted her waist and said, "Ah~ I don't know what's wrong with my daughter?"

"It should be time now, why haven't you called yet?"

…

Well, a lot of things happened to Lin Qing and Cen Xi along the way, which made them quite tired after they arrived, and they forgot about the contact.

After Cen Xi came out of his father's study, he suddenly thought of this problem and became anxious instantly.

After a while, he rushed back to the study.

"What's wrong? I told you not to leave, so why are you coming back?"

"Hey! We haven't called back to report that we're safe yet!"

"You little brat, how could you forget such an important thing?" Father Cen was about to explode.

Why is this guy becoming more and more unreliable?

"Alright, alright, hurry up and call. Your parents-in-law must be worried to death!" Father Cen looked at him with disgust. Fortunately, there was a phone in his study, otherwise Cen Xi would have to go out and queue up to make a call, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Under the pressure of his father's gaze, Cen Xi called Ancheng, and the first person he called was the one in the big compound.

"Hello! I'm looking for Lin Haiyang and Li Qin from Courtyard No. 4!"

"Hello, comrade!" Someone came over to answer the phone after a while. "Lin Haiyang and Li Qin said they would move back to the textile factory compound for two days. They have already moved in today. If you want to find them, please call them."

"Okay! Thank you, comrade."
