Chapter 379 Return - The Sick Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
A few days passed very quickly, and it was time for Cen Xi and Lin Qing to go back.
"Alas, how come time passes so quickly?" Mother Cen said with some reluctance.
Lin Qing also felt a little uncomfortable, and so did Cen Xi.
"Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial son. I cannot show my filial piety to you!"
Mother Cen's eyes were filled with tears. She covered her mouth with her hands and choked with sobs, blocking the words "Why don't you not leave?" from her lips.
Mr. Cen was also very reluctant, but he was not good at speaking and didn't know what to say. He could only pat his son's shoulder silently.
"Commander, it's almost time." Comrades Wang and Li, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared.
"A good man has great ambitions. Your father will always be proud of you! Go!" Father Cen finally spoke before leaving.
Cen Xi's eyes lit up. He was very happy to receive a word of praise from his father.
In the past, Cen's father was also depressed because Cen Xi could not join the army and inherit his legacy. Although he supported any decision he made, he still felt a little lost.
Sometimes, it is inevitable that some things will come out when they are together. Although Cen Xi, as a grown man, feels a little sad because of being misunderstood, he has never wavered in his ideals.
However, none of this prevented him from being happy about his father's praise.
Cen Xi and Lin Qing got into the car, and they both waved goodbye to Cen's father and mother who were outside the car.
After the car started, it quickly left their sight. Mother Cen was reluctant to chase after it.
Father Cen came forward and hugged Mother Cen, patting her back comfortingly, "Okay, okay, I know you are a little reluctant, but are you really willing to let your son and daughter-in-law stay with us in this bitter cold place?"
Mother Cen paused and fell silent, "..."
"Okay, when the environment is better, we will be transferred back to the capital. Then, our son and daughter-in-law can come and reunite with us!"
Originally, they had chosen this place on purpose, far away from the political center of the capital, so that they could escape from the vortex of chaos.
When Mother Cen thought of this, the sadness in her heart was alleviated a little. Indeed, they were the ones who took the initiative to transfer here. Her identity was a bit sensitive and might attract the attention of some people. It would be better for her to stay away from them.
It was for this reason that the second brother, Cen Xi, did not stay in the capital but chose to go to Ancheng. Ancheng is almost halfway between the capital and their place, otherwise it would not be only a two-day journey, which is already very short.
Cen Xi and Lin Qing were seen leaving in the car by everyone in the family compound.
"The second son of Brigade Commander Cen is gone?"
"Why did someone come to pick me up? Who are they? Why did someone drive over to pick me up?"
"Maybe it was the connection that Brigade Commander Cen made?"
"Oh! Come to think of it, does anyone know what his second son does?"
"I know his daughter-in-law is the accountant of Ancheng Machinery Factory."
"You tell me, I know it too."
"So where's his second child?"
"..." Everyone was silent for a moment, and they suddenly realized that they seemed to have no idea what the second son of the Cen family did.
Then a lot of speculations were raised, "Hey, didn't they say that his son and daughter-in-law met in the factory? Maybe she was a worker in the machinery factory!"
"He can't be an ordinary workshop worker. Isn't he a college graduate? A college graduate must be working in an office. Maybe he's an office clerk!"
"Then why were you assigned to Ancheng? Shouldn't you go back to your original place of residence?"
There were all kinds of discussions, but no one asked Mother Cen.
Although Mother Cen often brought Lin Qing with them during this period, Lin Qing was also present. They all thought that Mother Cen wanted to show her friendly side in front of Lin Qing, so she did that.
Now that Lin Qing has left, Mother Cen will definitely return to her previous cold and distant self, so she doesn't dare to ask her at all.
Just like that, Cen Xi's career became a mystery in the family compound!
Lin Qing and Cen Xi boarded the return train.
For a moment, the atmosphere was silent and sad.
"Brother Nan, let's come back to see our parents when we have time!"
"Okay!" Cen Xi knew that such opportunities were rare. He was busy with research on weekdays, and Lin Qing also had to go to work on time, so it was difficult to ask for leave.
Lin Qing didn't know what to say either, so she could only stay with him silently and let him resolve his issues on his own.
Lin Qing was lost in thought, thinking about this and that, and suddenly thought of someone she had almost forgotten.
Aunt Sun, this extremely bad person, was punished after fighting with that elder sister.
After the Women's Federation intervened and investigated, the eldest sister who was instigated to get divorced did not forgive Aunt Sun at all.
Aunt Sun didn't end up well either. She was not punished at all. Instead, she had to apologize to the eldest sister, although she was completely unwilling to do so.
Finally, the Women's Federation informed Counselor Sun, who forced her to apologize and pay fifty yuan in compensation to the older sister. Only then was the matter over.
Then the Women's Federation began to mediate the conflict between the eldest sister and her mother-in-law, and promoted the idea that women can hold up half the sky.
The team leader was also a little dissatisfied with his mother. He had a good relationship with his wife and had never thought about divorcing her, even if they didn't have a son. In the end, the eldest sister's mother-in-law was sent back to her hometown by the team leader.
When Aunt Sun was being forced to apologize, Lin Qing, Cen's mother, and a group of family members from the family compound also ran over to watch.
Lin Qing felt relieved at the time. Didn't she refuse to apologize that day? Didn't she feel too embarrassed to do so? Now her face was thrown to the ground and anyone could step on it. This was enough for her.
Mother Cen and Lin Qing had similar ideas. If it was said that the wife of Counsellor Sun apologized before, it was because she had deliberately made a complaint. But now it was not because she had deliberately made a complaint. It could only be said that this person just deserved it.
…
After two days of travel, Lin Qing and Cen Xi did not encounter the same threats as when they went there. Mainly because they did not reveal the news on the return trip, not many people knew about it. The return journey was relatively safe and they returned smoothly.
"Huh~ I'm finally back!" Lin Qing let out a sigh of relief after getting off the car.
I always had to be tense on the train, but now that I'm back I can finally relax a little.
After getting off the train, they took the bus back.
When Wang and Li followed them back to Guihua Lane, they became invisible, returning to their original appearance before they left and returning to the darkness.
But after they left, the luggage increased.
"How about I get you some more?" Lin Qing looked at his full bags and said with some concern.
"No need, we can just walk faster and get there quickly." Cen Xi refused.
