Chapter 278 Finale 1
The captain's grandson had seen Lin Qi before. He was only a few years younger than Lin Qi. The moment he saw Lin Qi, he opened his mouth and was speechless.
Lin Qi nodded slightly at him, then followed Doctor Ma to the captain's room.
The captain's room faced east, with windows and doors open. The room was cleaned very well, and the bedding on the bed was changed frequently. There was only a faint smell of medicine in the room, but no other strange smells.
Luo Feng, who was over 70 years old, had white hair and was thin, like a dry old tree. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. When he heard the voice, he opened his eyes and saw that the person coming was Doctor Ma, so he closed his eyes again.
"You really don't want to see me." Doctor Ma pretended to be sad.
Luo Feng snorted, "What's so good about an old man?"
Doctor Ma sat down beside his bed and said, "Yes, I am old and ugly. You don't have to look at me as an old man. Look behind me. There is a good-looking person behind me."
"I don't want to see it." Luo Feng said, turning sideways and facing the wall.
Doctor Ma was amused by his temper. "Old boy, what you said is true. People become more willful as they get older. Don't bother with him."
Lin Qi shook her head, "Don't worry about it."
Um?
Is it a girl?
Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, turned over, and saw the face in his memory.
"Lin Qi~"
Luo Feng's eyes were sore, his voice was choked, and tears welled up in his eyes for some reason, "Why didn't you come back after leaving? I have kept your house for you."
"Sorry, I should have come back to see you earlier." Although Lin Qi did not come back in the past two years, she sent back a lot of medicinal herbs. Unexpectedly, even with her medicinal herbs, the captain still aged so badly.
"It's not your fault. It's my fault that I don't have the ability to go to the capital to see you." Luo Feng sighed, staring at Lin Qi's face, "Seeing you, I feel as if I have returned to more than 20 years ago..."
The captain and Lin Qi talked for a long time. The captain was talking and Lin Qi was listening. They were talking about trivial things, nothing important.
In addition to the team leader, Lin Qi also met many elderly people from the Anliang Brigade. They all talked to her and did not leave until dark.
They had dinner at the captain's house, and after dinner, Luo Qingbai took her home.
"Your house is cleaned every few days, but since no one lives there, it must smell musty. Are you really not going to rest at my house for a night?" Luo Qingbai is now the head of Anliang Village, but he does not force the villagers to clean Lin Qi's house. Instead, the villagers take the initiative to clean it. Parents whose children work at the Linxu Group organize themselves to clean the house every ten days or so.
"No, I can just live in the old house." Lin Qi refused.
Under the moonlight, Lin Qi's snowy skin glowed white. Luo Qingbai only dared to take a few glances at her before stopping and saying, "Go back by yourself."
If they continue to be alone together, he's afraid he'll lose his composure.
Lin Qi hummed, "Gather some village representatives tomorrow. I have something to say."
Luo Qingbai agreed, "Okay. Come to the village committee for breakfast tomorrow, and I'll bring it to you."
Lin Qi didn't refuse, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Luo Qingbai watched Lin Qi leave until her back disappeared under the moonlight. Then he withdrew his gaze and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She still looks young, but he is already in his forties.
I really don't want her to see me getting old, but I can't bear to see her.
Lin Qi carried toiletries and clean clothes in her backpack. She took a cold shower, made a new mat and spread it on the bed. She fell asleep soon after.
The next morning, Lin Qi got up, washed, packed her things, and went to the village committee office with her schoolbag.
When she arrived at the village committee office, many people had already gathered outside. When they saw Lin Qi coming, they suddenly became quiet and all looked at Lin Qi. Their eyes were filled with amazement, curiosity, surprise... and mostly disbelief.
More than 20 years have passed, and she hasn't changed at all.
"Lin Qi is here. I brought breakfast. Come and eat it." Luo Qingbai greeted Lin Qi.
Lin Qi nodded to the old people and then walked towards Luo Qingbai. The breakfast Luo Qingbai prepared included steamed buns, boiled eggs, whole grain cakes and a bowl of corn syrup.
After Lin Qi finished breakfast, she found that Luo Feng had also come. His eldest grandson carried him here.
"Why bother making this trip? Let your grandson hear it, and it will be the same if he goes back and tells you." Lin Qi said helplessly.
"I've been lying in bed, and my body feels very weak. I want to come out and get some fresh air. You guys talk about your things, don't bother me." Luo Feng said.
Lin Qi wanted to talk about the road construction for the village. She gave Luo Qingbai an anonymous card with 500,000 yuan in it. "I don't know if it's enough. If not, call me again."
Luo Qingbai, who had several thousand yuan at home and felt that he was already very rich, said: "......"
"Everyone contributes manpower, and 500,000 is enough to buy materials."
"List all the account details, post one copy at the village committee, and mail one copy to me."
"Okay. I'll make sure every penny is spent where it's needed."
“.......”
The driver arrived at Anliang Village at 10 am, and Lin Qi left at 10:30 am. The villagers invited Lin Qi to stay for lunch, but Lin Qi refused. Everyone gave Lin Qi many local specialties, but Lin Qi also refused. She came with a backpack and left with a backpack.
Luo Qingbai and others sent Lin Qi to the village entrance and watched the car go away. They all knew in their hearts that this was probably Lin Qi's last time to return to Anliang Brigade, and also the last time they would meet Lin Qi.
Lin Qi returned to the capital and stayed there for a day. The next day, she returned to Zhoucheng, still on her own. In the past few years, she sent 2,000 yuan to Lin's father and mother every year, and mailed them tea, fruits and medicinal herbs from time to time, but she never came back.
This time she came back suddenly, and Lin's father and mother were not at home. She climbed over the wall and when Lin's father and mother unlocked the door and entered, she saw her daughter sitting in the corridor drinking tea.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Mother Lin asked in shock.
"I'll come back to see you guys when I'm free these two days." Lin Qi looked at Lin's father and mother's faces, which were rosy and shiny, with healthy skin tones. "Remember to soak the dendrobium I mailed back in water and drink it every day."
"I've been drinking it. We've been eating the things you sent back over the past few years, and we're in good health, with fewer headaches and fevers." Dad Lin said with a smile.
"I will continue to send it to you." Lin Qi said.
"That Linxu Group is yours, right? The wine and rice noodles they sell there taste very similar to the ones you sent back, but not as good as the ones you sent back." Dad Lin looked at his daughter. He felt so proud when he thought that one of the top companies in the country actually belonged to his daughter and son-in-law.
"Yes, it's Ah He who is in charge." Lin Qi did not take the initiative to tell Lin's father and mother, but she would not deliberately hide it.
"Your brother, your sister-in-law and your sister also guess whether the Linxu Group is yours. They want their three children to work in your group." Dad Lin said while paying attention to Lin Qi's expression.
"Let them submit their resumes. I'm not responsible for their hiring," said Lin Qi.
Dad Lin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Mom Lin pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to speak.
"Dad, Mom, your house is old, let me help you move to another one. I saw a newly built villa community next door, I will buy one for you." Lin Qi said.
"We can still live here, don't waste that money." Mother Lin disagreed.
"Let's buy it. This place is too old and the toilet smells a bit strong." Lin Qi insisted.
Ten minutes later, Lin's father and mother took their ID cards and went to the sales office with Lin Qi.
After buying a villa for Lin's father and mother and having dinner with the two elderly people, Lin Qi returned to the capital that night.
"Qiqi now seems to have drawn a line between herself and her brother and sister. Alas..." Dad Lin's tone was lonely and helpless. She came back and didn't even see her brother and sister. It was obvious that there was little family affection left.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, we don't care about that anymore." Mother Lin said, "Before my daughter passed away, she told me that we can give the two houses she bought to whoever we want in the future, but she doesn't want them. Giving these houses to our eldest son and daughter can be considered an alternative way of supporting her brothers and sisters."
"Qiqi said that?" Dad Lin was surprised. How could he not hear it?
"She told me."
Another year passed, and on this day, Xu Hexiao hurried back home.
"There's news about Bo Xi and the others." Xu Hexiao said excitedly.
Lin Qi blinked, a little dazed, "Where are they?"
"They were in one of our breweries overseas. I don't know what they did to make the land, air and sea forces there be on high alert and prevent them from leaving. If the children were caught, the situation would be very bad."
Being able to hide in their brewery shows that these kids know about their family's overseas activities. They clearly know that their family has expanded their business overseas, but they have never contacted their parents. Are they really going to military school instead of stealing military secrets?
"Let's go abroad." Lin Qi said decisively.
"That's what I meant. The higher-ups told us about this probably for this purpose. They probably can't or can't take action, so they want to rely on your help to bring the children back." Otherwise, as ordinary people, how could they know this.
"What are the instructions from above?"
"Bring the people back safely."
"Besides that? Like accidentally killing someone or something."
"The original words from the higher-ups were to bring the person back safely at all costs." Xu Hexiao put emphasis on the words "at all costs."
A cold light flashed in Lin Qi's eyes, "Okay, I know what's going on."
Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi boarded a plane to go abroad that night. After more than ten hours, the plane landed and they got in the car that came to pick them up and headed to the winery in the suburbs.
