On the train from Beijing to Ji City, Kang Kang asked, "Dad, what is my hometown?" Kang Kang is very curious now and asks many questions every day. He is simply obsessed with asking a hundred thousand questions.
Lin Xiuyao patiently explained, "My hometown is where I grew up. My father was born and raised in Songjiang Village. He came to Beijing to live after he was admitted to university."
Kang Kang: "So my hometown is Beijing?"
"Yes, you are really smart." Although his son could be very annoying sometimes, he was always proud of his son's wit.
"What is your hometown like?" Kang Kang continued to ask.
Lin Xiuyao said with a nostalgic look: "Dad's hometown has mountains and rivers, the scenery is very beautiful. It is very cold in winter and it snows a lot. You will know when you get there."
At night, Su Qingmeng slept on the middle bunk, Kang Kang slept on the lower bunk, and Lin Xiuyao sat beside them to keep watch. In the second half of the night, Su Qingmeng woke up and took over from Lin Xiuyao.
In the morning, after washing up, the three of them went to the restaurant car to have breakfast. Kang Kang asked, "Dad, how long will it take until we get there?"
"We'll arrive at noon." Back in the carriage, he told stories to Kang Kang and spoke in English. Kang Kang had taken the train several times and was learning from his father honestly.
The trains were shaking so much these days that reading hurt my eyes. Su Qingmeng pulled out her Sony Walkman and headphones, which she had bought on her last trip to Hong Kong. Kang Kang, having finished his studies, also came over to his mother and asked for a pair of headphones.
The train arrived in Ji City at noon. The three got off with their luggage. Lin Xiutong was waiting at the exit and waved to them when he saw them.
Before the three of them got in the car, they notified someone back home, who then came to pick them up. Lin Xiutong came up and hugged Lin Xiuyao, "Long time no see, Brother Xiuyao." He then picked up Kang Kang and spun him around twice, "This must be my nephew, he's so handsome." He nodded to Su Qingmeng, "Thank you for your hard work on the journey, sister-in-law."
Su Qingmeng found it funny to see him being like a socialite, treating everyone equally. She didn't expect that her cousin's personality hadn't changed over the years and he was still very lively.
The three of them got in a taxi. Lin Xiutong said, "Let's go to my house first. My wife is cooking at home. She doesn't have classes today. Let's go to a restaurant tonight. My cousin has already reserved a table." Today was not the weekend, and he had taken a day off to come here.
Lin Xiuyao: "Let's find a hotel first and take a shower." He was sweating while riding the train in the hot summer.
He took a few people to a hotel near his home. The three of them packed up and went to Lin Xiutong's house for lunch.
My brother's sister-in-law, Shuqin, was a pretty girl with a pleasant voice. His one-year-old child, Lin Zhen, had big eyes and a round face. She was wearing a pink dress and looked adorable.
Su Qingmeng took out the panda Panpan from the gifts she brought and gave it to the child. The Asian Games were about to be held, and this mascot was quite popular. Shuqin said, "Thank you, second cousin's wife." It was the first time that Shuqin met the cousin and his wife, whom her husband described as very capable. They looked extraordinary and she was a little reserved.
Lin Xiutong: "Let's eat first, I'm hungry." It's already past one o'clock.
After dinner, several people sat in the living room and chatted. Kang Kang rarely saw a sister younger than him, so he went to play with her.
Lin Xiutong asked, "Brother Xiuyao, how is your business?"
Lin Xiuyao: "It's good. I registered a company this year."
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Great, Brother Xiuyao, you are an entrepreneur now. It seems that resigning was the right decision." The two talked about their work.
Shuqin cleaned up the kitchen, brought the prepared fruit, and stood aside. Seeing that his wife was silent, Lin Xiutong became anxious: "Shuqin, don't you like your second sister-in-law's books? I'm here, go and chat with your sister-in-law."
Shu Qin blushed and sat down next to Su Qingmeng. "Second cousin, I really like your "Wonderful Journey" and "Who Am I". Can you sign them for me?"
Su Qingmeng didn't expect that she was a fan of her book, so she smiled and said, "Of course."
Shuqin went into the house to get a book. Lin Xiutong smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you don't know how anxious Shuqin was to read the sequel when your suspense novel was first serialized. She couldn't eat or sleep well."
Shu Qin glanced at him and said, "You're the only one who talks too much." She then put on an admiring expression towards Su Qingmeng and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help."
Su Qingmeng couldn't help laughing. This sister-in-law was quite interesting.
"Mom, look." Kang Kang actually picked up Lin Zhen. The four-year-old child was holding the one-year-old, and Lin Zhen's feet were off the ground.
Su Qingmeng found it interesting and took out her camera to take pictures of the two of them. After having Kang Kang, she used her camera as a mobile phone and always brought it with her when she went out. "Be careful. If you run out of strength, just put your sister down gently."
After chatting until three o'clock, the three went to the hotel to rest. After waking up, they went to the restaurant for dinner. Lin Meimei actually came as well, and she brought her boyfriend with her.
Lin Xiuyao did not inform her in advance, and they had not been in contact for several years. She learned all the news from Xiutong.
It is said that after Guo Wei graduated from university, Lin Meimei divorced him. Guo Wei was very clever and coaxed her into a divorce without giving her anything.
After Lin Meimei's divorce, she couldn't stand the rumors in the village and even attempted suicide. Her uncle couldn't bear it, so he asked Xiu Tong to find a job for his daughter in the city.
I heard that Lin Meimei had a boyfriend before, a self-employed person, but he dumped her when he got rich. Now this person should be her new boyfriend. Xiutong said he is a worker and they are dating. He said that the new boyfriend is also unreliable and that my uncle is not satisfied, but Lin Meimei is very stubborn and refuses to break up.
Su Qingmeng frowned. Whoever Lin Meimei brought was actually staring at her. Lin Xiuyao noticed it. He took two steps to block the other person's sight and his face darkened. This cousin had a very bad eyesight. Who was she looking for?
Zheng Dayuan smiled awkwardly and retracted his gaze. This was not the first time he saw such a fashionable and beautiful woman, and he couldn't control himself.
