Chapter 20
Noticing the three gazes falling on him, Lu Qin raised his head, still maintaining a thoughtful expression with a tightly furrowed brow.
To be honest, Lu Qin felt depressed after hearing his brother-in-law's reply.
Kong Yue asked, "What did you think of?"
Lu Qin stopped smiling. "I was just thinking, you've been watching them for so long, and since they haven't made any movement yet, and the traffickers are celebrating Chinese New Year, it's only natural to assume they're trying to get rid of the person before the New Year. If they want to kidnap someone, they naturally think of the station. So, is it possible that the place Zhang Erhu mentioned isn't the station? It could be some Tibetan place where they call a taxi or something?"
"And they definitely went to this place today! And it wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Just like we thought, the traffickers are going to be celebrating the Lunar New Year, so they'll be taking action by the 29th at the latest. So they must be slowly making moves now."
At this moment, something suddenly flashed through Qin Mingzhi and Kong Yue's minds.
Kong Yue hurriedly instructed him, "There's a big package in the first room you go out of here. You can take it home later."
Halfway through the walk, he added, "Tell your aunt and sister that I'll be home later."
Lu Qin didn't know what they were thinking, but he didn't want to delay them. "Okay, brother-in-law, don't worry."
He believed that they were also anxious for a moment and would react quickly even without his reminder.
He Sun Juan, "Auntie, I'll take you home"
"No, no, alas, I hope they can rescue the children as soon as possible so that they can have a good New Year." Only when you have experienced it yourself, you will know how tiring it is.
"Yes, I will." He believed his brother-in-law.
Before leaving, Sun Juan emphasized again that we should remember to go to her house for dinner.
After walking out of the police station, Lu Qin looked up at the sky. It was already very late and the sun was about to set, but he felt like he hadn't seen the sun all day.
At this moment, he seemed to see the figure of a young policeman.
The young police officer waved, "Comrade Lu, come here."
Lu Qin came over carrying a large package and asked, "What did you call me?"
He still remembered the ruthless look of the young policeman.
The young police officer was called Li Li. When he heard this, his dark face flushed. "Comrade Lu, the director asked you to ride his bicycle home. You can ride back tomorrow."
As soon as he moved aside, Lu Qin saw the old item behind him.
There are two big wheels, and the seat is almost the same height as the front of the car, with a horizontal bar between them.
Thinking of its preciousness in this era, he hesitated and asked, "Did your director really let me ride it back?"
I hope he won’t turn around and take him to the dark room again.
Li Li pushed the bike out carefully and said, "Our director is a good man, so you can ride it without worry."
"Well, then I won't be polite, comrade."
"Li Li, my name is Li Li."
Lu Qin put the luggage on the back seat, and Comrade Li Li also thoughtfully prepared a rope.
After tying up the package, Lu Qin walked to the front and held the front of the car. "Thanks, see you tomorrow!"
Li Li took two steps back and saw Comrade Lu hesitantly stretch out his left foot and step on the wheel. As the wheel slid, he was about to step on it with his right foot, but he stepped on empty space and the bicycle stopped with a thud. It even seemed that he had nowhere to put his long right leg.
"Comrade Lu, you..." I haven't asked you yet whether you know how to ride.
As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was fine. Lu Qin pointed downwards and made an excuse, "My legs are too long."
It's definitely not a matter of skill. And it's definitely not because he doesn't understand the old-fashioned way of riding a bike.
Under Li Li's gaze, he simply sat down and successfully pedaled the bicycle away.
Li Li: Comrade Lu has a really good attitude.
The sun was already halfway down. Lu Qin was feeling the cold wind as he slid down the street on his old car, occasionally receiving a few envious glances.
So on this day, several old aunts and ladies came out to call their children back home for dinner, and they heard the jingling sound of bicycles from afar.
They craned their necks to look over with curiosity.
I saw that boy Lu Qin with a happy face, pedaling his bicycle with a bright smile.
No one could tell he had just gotten out of jail. He pedaled the bike with all his might.
"Has Aunt Zhao had dinner? Is your grandson on the brigade square?"
"Aunt Liu, your eldest grandson and your second grandson are fighting under that tree over there. They're both really angry."
"Aunt Wang, your eldest grandson is stirring up a hornet's nest at the entrance of the village."
It took him only two or three rides to get in front of them, but he never stopped talking.
However, a group of aunties, upon hearing where their grandchildren had gone, left in a hurry.
Enjoying the feeling of freedom, Lu Qin pedaled while bumping along, and finally felt relieved.
Sun Laimei was still wondering why Lu Qin hadn't come back the previous second, but then two wheels of the car slid into the yard, which scared her.
She hugged her grandson tightly, first seeing the car, then the person, but Kong Dongdong had already recognized the person, "Uncle!"
The hair blown by the wind stood straight up like wild grass growing in the summer.
Lu Qin parked the car and turned around. The two holes on his knees became even bigger.
When he heard his nephew's name, a smile appeared on his face, "Dongdong!"
When he saw his uncle's face, Kong Dongdong's little steps suddenly stopped and he stood there motionless, with a world in his little eyes.
Lu Qin: “Dongdong”
Kong Dongdong retracted his hand that was about to be hugged, and suddenly turned around, raised his head and said in a tender voice, "Grandma, Dongdong should take a bath."
Lu Qin's hand was still stretched out: ""
Sun Laimei didn't understand his mentality, she was just confused, "Didn't you just clamor for your uncle and said you didn't want to take a bath?"
But she loved her grandson very much, "Wait until your mother comes back to wash it."
When Lu Qin heard his sister's name, he didn't care about being hurt by his nephew, "Aunt, where is my sister?"
"It's because you didn't come back and didn't tell your family. Your sister was afraid something might happen to you, so she had to go to Uncle Lai Gen and ask if she could take his car to the county to find you later."
At that moment, Lu Qin felt both sad and warm in his heart.
Suddenly something occurred to me, "She won't go to the county to find me, will she?"
"No, she'll come back and tell me."
Lu Qin quickly fixed his hair before she came back.
"Your bicycle..."
As he was speaking, Lu Chunnong came back from outside.
Halfway through my haircut, "Sister"
Lu Chunnong heard the voice and looked over. One could still see the worry in her eyes. Her gaze fell on him, especially on his knees, pausing for a moment. "You're back?"
Lu Qin confessed honestly, "Sister, I had something to do in the county town today, so I missed Uncle Lai Gen's ride this afternoon. Oh, and I met my brother-in-law, and I rode his friend's bike back."
"Your brother-in-law is back!" Sun Laimei was the most excited, "But where is he?"
"My brother-in-law is still busy with work. He will be back after he finishes these two days." Lu Qin replied to his aunt while paying attention to his sister's expression.
The two siblings obviously look very similar, but it seems that all emotions only jump on his face. Most of the time, Lu Chunnong's emotions are not easily seen by others.
"By the way, there's a large package here that my brother-in-law asked me to bring back."
After Lu Qin took the package off, he hesitated for a moment, then placed it on the stool Sun Laimei had just sat on, not favoring anyone. "It's quite heavy."
Sun Laimei took a look and said, she was already very happy to get the news that her son would return. Seeing the big bag of things, she took a look and said, "I don't know what they took. Chunnong, move the things to your room."
"Okay, we'll take it apart when Kong Yue comes back." Lu Chunnong agreed and took it apart without saying anything as he returned to the house.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no conflict at all over the distribution of packages.
Lu Qin helped carry the package over. When he came out, Lu Chunnong's eyes fell on his knees again. She had noticed it just now, "What's wrong with your pants?"
Lu Qin waved his hand, looking stubborn. "It's okay. I just got off my bike and fell. Look, I haven't even broken a scratch."
It can't be said that it was caused by being pressed to the ground and rubbed by my brother-in-law and others.
Lu Chunnong made sure that he was really fine before looking away.
Sun Laimei kept an eye on that side, "Are you okay? Is the bike okay?"
She realized later that a bicycle is very expensive.
Lu Qin shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay."
His eyes fell on Kong Dongdong, and he remembered that he had just looked down on him. "Dongdong, do you want to go for a bike ride with your uncle?"
Kong Dongdong had forgotten what had just happened and took the initiative to reach out and ask for a hug.
How could Lu Qin refuse?
He held his nephew and sat him on the horizontal bar in front, "Auntie, let's go for a walk."
"Go ahead, be careful, watch out for the bicycles!"
Lu Qin chose not to listen. He held the handlebars with one hand and hugged his nephew with the other, then stepped out of the yard. Considering that the nephew was still young, he didn't dare to move too fast.
He just came back not long ago.
The excitement in the brigade square had just begun, with children crying one after another.
When the ding-ling-ling sound rang out again, a group of children stopped crying at the same time, opened their hazy eyes and looked over, tears welling up in their eyes.
Lu Qin, the burden, was seen riding a large two-wheeled cart, steadying himself with one hand. Sitting on top was Kong Dongdong. He stepped on the wheel, and it spun. They slowly opened their mouths, silently exclaiming, "Oh!"
Kong Dongdong was young and didn’t understand what an envious look meant, but he grinned happily.
Lu Qin looked down and saw that his nephew was so happy that his little teeth were showing. He also smiled happily, and felt more relieved.
When the big and small ones laugh, they look like nesting dolls.
Lu Qin rode his bicycle with one hand, carrying his nephew, and went for a tour several times, causing the children in the group to cry intermittently.
That night, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. He was in such a good mood that he didn't even have a dream.
The next day, his brother-in-law did not come back.
But he had to go to the banquet, and he actually saw his brother-in-law at Qin's house, and heard about the human traffickers from Comrade Qin Mingzhi.
Well, human nature is really complicated.
