Initially, he had two underlings who were in contact with him.
As time went by, these underlings had their own families and no longer remembered him.
These underlings were all orphans from the streets, and they had no source of income before they met Lin Chengyu.
He cheats people out of their money here and there every day, and freeloads off them elsewhere.
It was only by following Lin Chengyu that they had a certain income. Even though they were still short of ration coupons, they could still buy food at high prices on the black market.
Thinking about all this still makes Lin Chengyu's heart ache.
He poured out his heart, but ultimately his sincerity was misplaced.
When news of his death far from home in his previous life reached Shanghai, two of his younger brothers still went to Hainan to pay their respects.
However, once a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.
Lin Chengyu felt that a belated apology was worse than no apology at all.
But being late is better than not being late at all.
The two of them walked around the two streets around the clock tower for a long time. When they got hungry, they went straight to a small shop and each ordered a bowl of Hainan rice noodles. The taste was very good, especially the rice noodles, which were chewy and springy.
With the aroma of beef, the soup was so delicious that Song Ziqing drank it all up.
Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Lin Chengyu also developed a big appetite and followed suit, finishing all the soup.
"Ziqing, are you full? Would you like to order another serving?"
Lin Chengyu ordered five liang (250g) of Hainan rice noodles, and after eating one bowl, he was quite full.
Song Ziqing, on the other hand, only ordered three liang (a unit of weight), because he was worried that she, who was still growing, might not have eaten enough.
"Even if you're not full, you can buy some snacks to try on your way back."
When Song Ziqing left the shop, she took out two lunch boxes and ordered two servings of Hainan noodles. She planned to put them in her ring space so she could take them out whenever she wanted to eat them.
The kitchen in the ring space is truly a magical existence; food looks exactly the same when it's put in and taken out.
Hainan rice noodles are delicious, so she wanted to keep two servings in her ring space so she could take one out and eat it whenever she missed it.
Lin Chengyu saw through her plan at a glance and asked directly, "Aren't two portions a bit too few? Should we get a few more?"
"That's enough. Food tastes better when there's less of it."
Too much will cause harm.
Song Ziqing knew this well, after all, in her previous life she would eat the same food she liked until she got tired of it.
Having transmigrated to another life, she wanted to take advantage of her youth and good health to change her old bad habits.
After the two finished eating, they strolled back to the hotel, which took almost an hour. When Song Ziqing returned to her room, she realized she was covered in sweat.
She then realized that while long sleeves were appropriate in Shanghai in September, they were too thick for her in Hainan. She decided to wear short sleeves the next day.
She still didn't dare wear a skirt, worried that the strong solar radiation in Hainan would tan her skin.
In her previous life, she had fair skin that never tanned. She hasn't had her body checked yet, but judging from her memories of her past life, she also doesn't tan easily.
However, the weather in Shanghai and Hainan is very different, and the intensity of radiation is also different. She is a person who loves beauty, so she dares not try it easily.
If you accidentally get a tan, there's no sunscreen these days. Once you get tanned, you can only wait until winter to slowly recover.
Hainan doesn't really have a winter, so once you get a tan, you don't know if you'll ever recover.
She has never lived in Hainan for an extended period of time, and she doesn't know if she can get used to living here for several years.
Her biggest worry was that there were only spring, autumn, and summer here, and no winter, and she didn't know if she could adapt to it.
After all, she used to live in cities with four distinct seasons.
She'll have a long time to adapt to living in a tropical city all of a sudden.
Unlike other cities, most public hotels in Hainan do not have public bathhouses. Because of the heat, each room in the hotel has a toilet. Lin Chengyu went directly to the hot water room to fetch two buckets of water for himself and her, so they could take a shower as soon as they returned to the hotel.
The next morning, Song Ziqing got up and went to eat breakfast nearby.
Seeing that it was still early, she took Lin Chengyu to a department store, intending to buy some local specialties for her new friend Yu Tingting, as well as for Du Juan and Shen Ling, who were far away in Shanghai. She also planned to send some to them.
People who are not short of money are generally generous.
Of course, she wasn't stupid. She only planned to send some cheap and common local items from Hainan. Such things wouldn't be too unusual in coastal cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou. It was just a token of her goodwill.
Shanghai's industry is highly developed, and she will inevitably need to ask Du Juan and Shen Ling for favors in the future. She still wants to maintain her friendship with the two friends.
Especially with his friend Du Juan, Song Ziqing still wanted to maintain their relationship. Although Du Juan's parents were not very good, she herself was quite sincere towards Song Ziqing as a friend.
After the two of them mailed all the local specialties from the post office, they hurried back to the hotel. At that moment, Song Ziqing spotted a tractor at the hotel entrance. She went over and saw that it was an acquaintance.
"Cousin, it's you here? Why didn't you send your nephew?!"
That is, Song Zinan, the son of the village chief of Shengang Village. He is Song Ziqing's distant cousin. In the past, when the Song family of three came back, he would pick them up.
Song Zinan is already in his early forties, and his son is older than Song Ziqing. He gets up early every morning to drive the tractor, which is really hard work.
“Your eldest nephew is here too. He just went out to look for you.”
When Song Zinan saw Song Ziqing return, she smiled broadly. However, the thought that a young girl like her could only go to the countryside made her worry about Song Jingwei and his wife, who had also been sent down to the countryside.
She couldn't even maintain her smile anymore.
However, he couldn't bring up her sad story right away, so he urged her, "Ziqing, hurry up and introduce your fiancé to me. When your father was in bad shape, he called home and mentioned that he wanted to send you and your fiancé to the countryside and asked us to take good care of you."
Only then did he realize that he had mentioned Song's father. It was too late to regret it, and he could only look at Song Ziqing apologetically.
When Song Ziqing heard him mention his father, he said with a worried expression, "I have found out the exact address of my parents' place of exile. I plan to ask for leave after I go to the countryside to visit them in Yunnan."
"Your parents were sent down to Yunnan? Otherwise, I'll have your nephew go there."
Song Zinan was very casual in ordering his son to do things. When Song Youjun returned and heard his father's words, he looked helpless.
"Dad, do you really think I'm Superman? Going to Yunnan? Have you forgotten I can't find my way around?! I almost couldn't find my way back after just wandering around the area!"
Song Youjun felt somewhat embarrassed, but he still honestly pointed out his biggest flaw.
