Chapter 60: Husband and wife
The Sun family's house is a little far from where Yuan Lingling and her family live. It takes seven or eight minutes to walk there leisurely.
She told the other party that she would not be there in the morning, but the other party insisted that her daughter Sun Qian bring her breakfast.
Helplessly, Yuan Lingling’s daily stay in bed turned into taking a nap after breakfast.
Sun Qian now works in the army art troupe. She is a very bright girl. She likes Yuan Lingling very much and often stares at her, wanting to get her to work in the art troupe.
Yuan Lingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm tone-deaf and my limbs are uncoordinated. If I join the art troupe, I'll just be a drag. Please spare me."
Sun Qian was unwilling to give up and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't sing or dance, you can still act in dramas and skits. Sister Lingling, I like your face and figure. It would be a pity if you don't join the art troupe."
"The Art Troupe, can you just join it? Don't you need to take an exam?"
Sun Qian didn't care at all. "With your temperament, Sister Lingling, they are blind if they didn't choose you. Why did you marry Captain Shen? If you weren't married yet, I would definitely introduce you to a distant cousin of mine. Let me tell you, my distant cousin is amazing, and I think he and you look like a couple."
Yuan Lingling was a little overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, but she could tell that the other party didn't mean any harm, so she couldn't refuse. She could only smile and say, "If Shen Caisheng heard this, he would definitely be angry with you."
"Is he that fierce? He won't be fierce to you at home, won't he? He won't hit anyone, right? If he is really that kind of person, then Sister Lingling, don't be polite. Just file for divorce and I'll introduce my cousin to you."
Yuan Lingling wiped the sweat off her forehead and thought it would be better to stay away from this girl. She was really a bit scary.
So when the girl came again, Yuan Lingling ate her breakfast in a hurry and used the excuse of doing some handicrafts to politely ask her to leave.
But Sun Qian was a thick-skinned person. She didn't understand what Yuan Lingling meant at all. Instead, she showed great interest in her wood.
Seeing that her interest did not seem fake, Yuan Lingling began to teach her how to carve wood. When she was not at work, she almost always hung out with Yuan Lingling.
At first, Yuan Lingling was worried that she would get annoyed with her, but as soon as they started, she became immersed in it and was more serious than her, so Yuan Lingling felt relieved.
One day, Sun Qian said that she would come to Yuan Lingling to work with her on wood after lunch break, but by four o'clock in the afternoon, she hadn't come yet.
Yuan Lingling thought she would not come, but she came with a girl.
When the girl saw Yuan Lingling, she exclaimed in surprise: "It's you! Comrade Yuan!"
"Cousin, do you know each other?"
"Well, this is the lesbian I told you about who gave me some delicious hot sauce on the train."
Sun Qian was surprised. "That's such a coincidence. When I heard you mention it just now, I wondered if it could be Sister Lingling. I didn't expect it to be true. Sister Lingling also gave us hot sauce. It's really delicious!"
It was only at this time that Yuan Lingling found out that the girl was called Ding Yue and was Sun Qian's cousin.
Their home is in the city, and they came here to visit relatives.
Originally on the train, the two of them had a hard time talking to each other because they were wary of each other, but now that they knew each other's background, it felt like they had met too late.
Ding Yue is currently working as a teacher in the city. Compared to Sun Qian's innocence, she is much more mature.
But she is just a little girl after all. When she gets older, she will be like that, whether she is married or not, so cute.
After they got to know each other better, Yuan Lingling finally realized that what Sun Qian said about her and her distant cousin not looking alike was not groundless.
"Come to think of it, she does look a bit like my brother." Ding Yue had felt that Yuan Lingling was very familiar when she had seen her on the train before. Now she understood that it was just that she looked alike and it was not an illusion.
"Could you be brother and sister who have been separated for many years?" Ding Yue joked.
Yuan Lingling was moved when she heard this. Who said it was impossible?
"What's your brother's name? Let me hear if this long-lost brother of mine is really meant to be with me."
"My brother's name is Feng Teng. Have you heard of him? Have you heard of him?" Ding Yue's eyes sparkled, as if she also thought this was very likely.
Yuan Lingling was stunned. She didn't expect his last name was Feng.
She wasn't sure such a ridiculous thing would really happen to her, but she also felt that it was too coincidental. How could her last name happen to be Feng?
"Isn't your last name Ding? Then why is your brother's last name Feng?"
After asking the question, Yuan Lingling realized that she had said nonsense and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
Sun Qian at the side also found it funny, "Of course he's not your biological brother, his father is your mother's brother, right?"
Ding Yue nodded, then said with a somewhat sad expression: "The reason I met you before was because my uncle passed away in a car accident."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Lingling's eyes flickered slightly, but she was not in a hurry to express her guess. She had to ask someone to help investigate it first.
Seeing that Yuan Lingling didn't seem to be in good condition, the two were a little worried, so they asked Yuan Lingling to have a good rest and they would bring her dinner later.
However, she thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't know that the two of them were not cunning people at all.
After leaving her house, Sun Qian took the lead in asking her own question, "Ding Yue, does your cousin Feng really have a sister who has been lost for many years?"
Ding Yue nodded in a daze, "There really is one. I'll go back and ask. Don't let this matter spread out yet."
"I see."
On the other side, Yuan Lingling thought for a long time in the room. She planned to write a letter to Beijing, but for a moment she couldn’t think of who to send the letter to. Is there anyone who could know her life experience?
After thinking for a while, she wrote a letter, sealed it, and mailed it before it was too late.
When I got home, I found Sun Qian and her partner standing at the gate with dishes in their hands.
"Sister Lingling, where have you been? I was so scared. We thought something happened to you."
Seeing the two people's worried expressions, Yuan Lingling felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I just felt a little bored just now, I'll be fine after going out for a walk."
"Is it stuffy? It seems a bit stuffy, like it's going to rain."
It has rained frequently these days. They say that every autumn rain brings a chill, which means autumn is coming.

Chen Caisheng had been gone for quite some time, and Yuan Lingling had carved many little gadgets at home, but no one appreciated them except Sun Qian.
Ding Yue did not stay in the family compound for more than two days before returning to the city. When she left, she vowed to bring her long-lost brother to see her next time.
Yuan Lingling didn't know whether what she said was true or false, but if she could see the other person in person, perhaps she could really solve the mystery in time.
After the people left, Yuan Lingling felt a little regretful. Perhaps she should not have hidden her guess from Ding Yue. She originally thought that there was no chance of it happening, but if she told others about it now, they might think she was delusional. But when she thought about it carefully, the other person was not that kind of person. It was she who was a little narrow-minded.
However, she was having all sorts of random thoughts in her mind, and finally she followed her innermost thoughts and did not tell Sun Qian about this. Instead, she started to plant flowers and vegetables in her own yard according to her previous idea.
Originally, Shen Caisheng wanted her to wait for him to return before planting, but Yuan Lingling saw suitable seeds at the supply and marketing cooperative and bought them back to try, hoping to divert her attention.
A few days later, Beijing finally received Yuan Lingling's letter.
Yang Xiaoxi was very happy when she received Yuan Lingling's letter. She didn't have many friends, and she got to know many people through running this tofu shop. But as Yuan Lingling said, many people would not do anything without a profit, and if they couldn't get any benefits from her, they would naturally stay away from her.
Therefore, she cherished Yuan Lingling, a friend she hadn't seen for a long time, even more.
However, today's letter was a little special. Sister Lingling actually asked her to help check her background.
Yang Xiaoxi also knew about Yuan Lingling's past. She once doubted whether Yuan Lingling was a child of the Yuan family. How could someone treat their own children so cruelly?
But when she thought of her parents and relatives, she put the idea aside. But now that Yuan Lingling had sent this letter, it was very likely that this fact had been confirmed, otherwise Yuan Lingling would definitely not have asked.
However, what surprised Yang Xiaoxi was that she didn't expect Yuan Lingling to look for her, and she didn't expect that the other party would actually ask her to ask Xie Guangan for help.
Ignoring Jiang Liping's objection, Xie Guangan went to the Xue family to become a son-in-law, and used the other party's relationship to get a job as a quality inspector in a food factory.
Although this job is not as decent as Xie Guangan's previous job, many people still think that Xie Guangan is lucky to have such an easy job when he has messed up everything.
Therefore, even though many people are sarcastic about him, there are still many who envy him.
However, when everyone was mocking him, he acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual, and still maintained his hobby of fishing.
He was by the river when Yang Xiaoxi found him with the letter.
"Look, this is Sister Lingling's letter. I'm worried that my expression is not very accurate. Just read it directly."
Xie Guangan and Yang Xiaoxi were not familiar with each other, but Xie Guangan knew her when Yang Xiaoxi appeared in front of Yuan Lingling. So after hearing her words, Xie Guangan did not doubt and took the letter from her hand with a calm expression.
There was nothing private in the letter. Yuan Lingling wrote the letter in a hurry and just asked Yang Xiaoxi for a favor.
As Xie Guangan watched, his movements froze.
After a long while, Yang Xiaoxi was sure that he had finished reading, but there was still no movement, so she stretched out her hand and waved in front of him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a woman's voice in the distance.
"Hey, what are you two doing?"
Before Yang Xiaoxi could turn around, Xie Guangan folded the letter and stuffed it back into Yang Xiaoxi's hand. "I'll check it out. You go first and don't let her see the letter."
In fact, he didn't need to remind her. Yang Xiaoxi had already quickly put the letter away when she saw how hurried he was.
However, there was no obstruction where the two men were standing, and Xue Wen saw early on that they had something in their hands.
She angrily walked up to Xie Guangan and asked, "Xie Guangan, who is this person?"
Xie Guangan looked indifferent, "I don't know."
Yang Xiaoxi: "...You got the wrong person." She turned and left, but Xue Wen grabbed her.
"I clearly saw you holding something in your hand just now. Why are you running away if you have nothing to hide?"
Yang Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "I've been told you recognized the wrong person. Are you sick?"
