Chapter 91 News of the Lost Uncle
Chapter 91 News of the Lost Uncle
What does it mean to find a new path after a seemingly hopeless situation? Qin Yang is experiencing it now.
Early in the morning, his mother, who was pressuring him to get married, dragged him out of bed. Despite his displeasure, she insisted that he go to the Red Flag Commune as soon as possible.
"Mom, so early? I haven't had breakfast yet!"
Qin's mother waved her hand impatiently, shooing the person out the door with a gesture similar to shooing away a fly. "Go out and find something to eat, and then hurry up and get back to the house. If you dare to dodge me again this time, don't come back!"
Qin Yang: "..."
Looks like he's really angry this time!
Indeed, Qin Yang is not young anymore. He will turn 24 this June, which is considered an older single man in his surroundings.
He has a job, is good-looking, and has no family burdens. His father is also a worker, so their life is quite comfortable.
Therefore, starting when Qin Yang was 20 years old, many matchmakers and relatives wanted to introduce him to potential partners.
Qin Yang was initially playful and didn't want to get married too early.
He had already promised Qin's mother that he would get married at the age of 22.
But his childhood friend's life after getting married, and his current situation, have made him somewhat timid.
Xia Yanhong's marriage was arranged by Grandpa Cheng when he was still alive. If he knew that his grandson had suffered such a fate because of the marriage he arranged, he would probably regret it immensely.
Qin Yang took a bite of the steamed bun he had bought and sighed deeply.
He was indeed somewhat affected by Cheng Jun and Xia Yanhong's affair.
Just thinking about marrying a woman who has someone else in her heart, who hates you because of it, and who plots against you and bullies your son is terrifying, isn't it?
But this time, it seems that Qin's mother...
They all said they wouldn't let him go home!
On the street, passersby were all attracted to Qin Yang.
He was a young man, but he had no energy at all. He stood next to a bicycle with a blank look in his eyes. He took a bite of a steamed bun and then sighed.
At this moment, a pretty young girl hesitated for a while before walking over and tentatively asking, "Comrade, are the steamed buns hard to eat?"
She was still thinking about what to eat for breakfast, but the way this guy at the breakfast shop kept sighing after taking a bite of his bun made her want to go up and ask him.
"what?"
Disturbed, Qin Yang came to his senses and saw a fair-skinned young girl staring at the steamed bun in his hand.
Are steamed buns really that bad?
Qin Yang quickly shook his head, "Ah! No, these buns are delicious!"
After saying that, he stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth, saying, "It's delicious, I'm just worried about other things!"
Qin Yang caught a glimpse of the old woman who had just sold him steamed buns glaring at him fiercely out of the corner of his eye.
Qin Yang was speechless!
That old lady probably didn't think he was there specifically to annoy them!
That would be a terrible crime!
The young girl didn't care what troubled Qin Yang. She only heard that it was delicious, so she smiled and thanked him before turning around to buy steamed buns.
She just started her job today. Her cousin helped her find the job, and although she ultimately got it through her own hard work, she should be grateful to her cousin for letting her know that they were hiring.
My cousin has loved eating since she was little, and nothing beats giving her food.
Qin Yang watched the little girl walk away and sighed again.
Alright! Let's go to the Red Flag Commune!
My aunt introduced me to this person, so I have to go no matter what; I have to give her face.
Qin Yang's uncle was one of the leaders of the Red Flag Commune, which had a sizable pig farm.
Every year, the uncle would send a lot of meat to the Qin family and doted on his nephew Qin Yang. No matter how unwilling Qin Yang was, he had to go and deal with it.
Riding his bicycle, Qin Yang quickly arrived at the Red Flag Commune.
His uncle, Qian Ping, worked at the commune every day, and Qin's mother also asked him to come to the commune to wait for his aunt.
Qin Yang was pushed out of the house by his mother early in the morning. When they arrived at the commune, it was still early. He didn't see his aunt or the girl, but he did see Qian Ping.
Qin Yang executed a stylish drift, bringing his bicycle to a stop in front of Qian Ping.
"Uncle, you've been waiting for me so early!"
Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?
When Qian Ping saw his nephew, he instinctively wanted to smile, but then he remembered the boy's troubled marriage prospects over the past few years, and the corners of his mouth flattened out. "You're overthinking it. I'm waiting for someone!"
"Who are we waiting for!"
Qin Yang parked his bicycle next to the commune gate.
There's no need to worry; no thief would be so bold as to steal things at the commune gate in broad daylight.
"The pig farm sold several piglets this year, and they agreed to come and pick them up today."
"Hey, not bad! In previous years, the pig farm couldn't raise many piglets. Last year was a good year, so this year will definitely be good too. Raise more piglets, and then give your nephew more pork to eat!" Qin Yang said with a grin, completely ignoring his serious uncle.
The two families interact frequently; everyone knows each other well! His uncle just likes to put on a serious act.
Upon hearing this, Qian Ping couldn't maintain his serious expression and burst out laughing. "This year, our pig farm plans to raise three hundred pigs. Don't worry, you'll get plenty of pork!"
Qin Yang grinned and started bragging to Qian Ping.
One was waiting for his aunt to bring his blind date, and the other was waiting for Lu Yuanqing, who was buying piglets.
Not long after they started chatting, a truck pulled up.
"Here he comes!" Qian Ping recognized him immediately and guessed it was probably Lu Yuanqing.
Qin Yang looked over and tilted his head slightly. Through the truck's windshield, he saw the Lu Yuanqing brothers.
Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at it seriously.
It wasn't until the truck stopped in front of them, the door opened, and someone jumped out that Qin Yang was surprised and certain: "Lu Yuanqing?"
It's Lu Yuanqing!
It really is Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo!
Qin Yang ran over in surprise.
When Lu Yuanqing heard someone call his name, which sounded somewhat familiar, he looked away from Qian Ping and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Qin Yang?
"Lu Yuanqing, it really is you!" Qin Yang ran over and grabbed Lu Yuanqing as if afraid he would run away.
Lu Yuanqing subconsciously shook his head, but failed to fling it away, and frowned.
"Qin Yang??" Lu Yuanbo rubbed his eyes, wondering how this person had appeared here.
"You two know each other?" Qian Ping looked at his nephew, then at Lu Yuanqing.
Lu Yuanqing forced a smile and said, "We happened to run into each other on the train to Jiang'an City this time."
Not familiar at all!
Tsk!
I was about to go back today when I saw Qin Yang again. What a tragic fate!
Lu Yuanqing disliked this kind of fate at all.
For some reason, his intuition told him that Qin Yang wasn't a bad person, but he would definitely bring him trouble, and he wanted to avoid that trouble.
But fate is unkind; even though I was about to go home, I still ran into people.
What a load of bullshit fate! Pshaw!
"Lu Yuanbo, why didn't you stay at the hotel I took you to? You have no idea, I've been looking for you for two days!"
Lu Yuanbo glanced at Lu Yuanqing, then gave an awkward laugh and said nothing.
how to answer?
They said they were afraid Qin Yang was a bad person, and that they ran away as soon as he left!
Qian Ping interrupted Qin Yang's attempt to ask more questions, and said with a smile, "Why don't you come to my office first? We can have some tea, there's no rush!"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
He was in a real hurry, extremely anxious!
But the piglets haven't even been loaded onto the truck yet. No matter how urgent it is, I still have to go to the office for a chat.
Qian Ping led the group to his office.
Originally, the plan was to go directly to the pig farm.
But his nephew and Lu Yuanqing looked too strange.
Although he only met Lu Yuanqing once, he still thought highly of Lu Yuanqing because of his good words and deeds.
If his nephew and he have any conflicts, he is willing to help mediate.
Moreover, Qin Yang's attitude didn't seem contradictory.
Sipping his tea, Lu Yuanqing sighed almost imperceptibly, put down his cup, and without intending to keep Qin Yang in suspense, asked directly, "Comrade Qin Yang, you said you've been looking for us these past two days? Is there something you need?"
The sooner you finish speaking, the sooner you can go home.
Although he had a strong feeling that he probably wouldn't be able to get home smoothly today!
Qin Yang didn't expect him to be so direct, asking questions right away without beating around the bush at all.
However, this is for the best, since he did have something to ask them anyway.
"Comrade Lu Yuanqing, um, this may be a bit presumptuous, but I'd like to ask if anyone in your family was abducted by human traffickers when they were 5 years old?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Ping and Lu Yuanbo sat up abruptly.
Qian Ping: "Xiao Yang, what do you mean?"
Lu Yuanbo: "How did you know!"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
He knew that, according to the logic of online novels, Qin Yang's enthusiasm and empty talk on the train were all purposeful.
“I have a good brother named Chengjun who I’ve known since childhood. His father was kidnapped by human traffickers when he was a child, but was rescued by Grandpa Cheng, who then adopted his father.”
Qin Yang looked at Lu Yuanqing and said, "Uncle Cheng looks a lot like Comrade Lu Yuanqing, and Cheng Jun's son looks a lot like Lu Yuanqing."
Lu Yuanqing sighed softly.
“I originally had a younger uncle. When he was five years old, my grandparents took him to the market in town, and he was eventually stolen by human traffickers!”
Qin Yang was overjoyed, "Really? So, Uncle Cheng might really be your uncle!"
"Wait a minute!" Qian Ping finally understood after listening for a while. "You mean Cheng Yong is their uncle?"
"Xiaoyang, this is no joke, are you sure?"
Qian Ping's understanding of Cheng Yong came entirely from Qin's mother and Qin Yang.
Qin Yang and Cheng Jun had been good friends since childhood, so Qian Ping naturally knew a little about Cheng Jun's family.
Cheng Yong was rescued from human traffickers by Grandpa Cheng, who later adopted him and raised him as his son.
"Of course I'm not joking!" Qin Yang said.
Lu Yuanqing also wanted to ask if it was a joke or a mistake.
After all, he had been missing for so many years. How could someone take the initiative to tell him where his lost uncle was just because he came to Jiang'an City?
Only in novels could such a coincidence occur.
"Do you have any news about Cheng Yong? Just because you say he looks like him, does that mean he's our lost uncle?" Lu Yuanbo also had a skeptical attitude.
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes. Everyone who heard Qin Yang's words didn't believe them, but he just believed them from the bottom of his heart. What was going on?
