In the beginning, I kicked my step-brother to waste, and took a few acres of land to the countryside

Originally, Lin Manman was planning to stay in Chuncheng for a week before returning to Beijing, but Gu Yanting came with a mission.

Gu Yanting's mission this time was urgent, and he didn't even have time to go to the guesthouse to say goodbye. He only had time to call Lin Manman and tell her that he had to go on a mission and it was very urgent. He couldn't accompany her and he was very sorry.

Lin Manman was quite understanding about this kind of thing. Although she was reluctant to let him go, she just told him to be careful and wait for him to come back without any complaints.

Gu Yanting went on a mission, so there was no need for Lin Shangjing and Lin Manman to stay, so they prepared to go straight back to Beijing!

Before Gu Yanting went on the mission, he specifically asked Instructor Qiu to buy two sleeper tickets for Lin Manman and Lin Shangjing when they were leaving!

Knowing that Lin Manman and Lin Shangjing would not stay for a few more days, Instructor Qiu specially bought two sleeper tickets.

Because the train tickets were for the evening, Lin Manman and Lin Shangjing went out for a stroll during the day. Lin Shangjing even took Lin Manman to eat at the same state-owned restaurant he and Qin Ling had eaten at!

Lin Manman thought it was delicious, but Lin Shangjing, who was usually very active in eating, poked the noodles with his chopsticks and didn't take a bite for a long time.

Lin Manman was very puzzled and said:

"Third brother, didn't you say this restaurant is delicious? Why don't you eat? Do you have no appetite?"

Lin Shangjing said absentmindedly:

"Ah, yes, no appetite!"

Lin Manman always felt a little weird. Given his brother's personality, how could he have no appetite for such delicious cold noodles?

Seeing Lin Shangjing looking at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone, Lin Manman said with a sudden inspiration:

"Brother, who did you eat at this state-owned restaurant with yesterday?"

Lin Shangjing didn't think there was anything wrong and said:

"A very interesting lesbian who can eat just like you!"

Lin Manman knew in her heart that her brother was interested in the girl, but she didn't know it yet!

However, Lin Manman was not going to make this matter clear and let Lin Shangjing know.

They didn't stay in Chuncheng for long, and his brother and this girl were really not destined to be together. Lin Manman sighed in his heart and didn't ask any more questions!

If Lin Shangjing realized it herself, she wouldn't object, but she wouldn't say it on her own initiative.

Long-distance relationships in this era are different from those in later generations, when transportation is well developed and communication is convenient.

At this time, at least 10 out of 9 long-distance relationships break up due to practical problems. Lin Manman secretly didn't want Lin Shangjing to suffer from this long-distance relationship.

After knowing this, Lin Manman's already depressed mood became even worse. Both the brother and sister lost their appetite. If they had not ordered a bowl of cold noodles, neither of them would have wanted to eat.

The two of them reluctantly ate a bowl of noodles, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some local specialties, and then went to the train station to wait.

At this time, the three members of the Qin family were also rushing from the guesthouse to the train station.

Originally, the family of three was planning to leave tomorrow, but Qin Ling's aunt said something to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, and Grandma Qin believed it and insisted that Father Qin go back immediately!

Father Qin was also annoyed by Grandma Qin's behavior, but after all, she was his mother. What else could Father Qin do? He could only endure Mother Qin's contempt and prepare to go back while feeling the pinch!

The Qin family of three were originally assigned soft sleeper berths by the organizer, but they were in a hurry to go back and had no time to buy a soft sleeper. Even this hard sleeper was bought by the young man in charge of logistics who used a lot of connections!

Since they were both returning to Beijing, Qin Ling and Lin Shangjing naturally took the same train.

What’s more coincidental is that because they all decided to leave on a whim, the Qin family’s three members were very close to Lin Shangjing and Lin Manman, brother and sister, only separated by one carriage.

The three members of the Qin family were in the last carriage near the train connection, so not long after Lin Shangjing got on the train and was about to get some hot water to drink, he saw Qin Ling sitting in the carriage near the door.

Lin Shangjing said happily:

"Comrade Qin, what a coincidence. Where are you going?"

Qin Ling was also very surprised and said:

"Comrade Lin, why are you taking this train? I'm going to Beijing, what about you?"

Lin Shangjing was even happier when he heard this, and he quickly said:

"I want to go back to Beijing, too. Haha, we are so destined to be together!"

After Lin Shangjing finished speaking, Qin's father coughed twice and asked Qin Ling:

"Qin Ling, who is this? I've never heard you mention him before!"

Qin Ling introduced:

"Dad, this is the one I was talking about, the one I caught and thought was a thief!"

"I wanted to treat him to a meal to apologize, but he still paid for it!"

Qin Ling turned to Lin Shangjing and said:

"Comrade Lin, would you be so kind as to let me treat you to a train lunch later?"

Lin Shangjing saw that Father Qin was a little restrained for some reason. He smiled shyly and said:

"Okay, I bought a lot of food before I got on the train, I'll bring it over and we can eat together later!"

Qin Ling nodded happily and said:

"Okay, I'll buy you a box lunch later!"

Lin Shangjing agreed and went back to his own carriage.

Seeing that Qin Ling treated Lin Shangjing differently, Qin's father and mother looked at each other, and Qin's mother asked:

"What does that young man do? How many brothers and sisters does he have? Is his family from Beijing? What do his parents do?"

Qin Ling said unhappily:

"Mom, are you checking my household registration? I just met him yesterday and we had dinner together. How can I know so much?"

"Also, Mom, don't ask about other people's brothers and sisters. It's hard to talk about it!"

Mother Qin was a little puzzled and said:

"Why can't we ask about brothers and sisters? Is there something wrong with his brothers and sisters?"

Qin Ling whispered:

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? What's the problem with brothers and sisters? His sister is gone, and he and his sister still have a good relationship. How presumptuous of you to bring this up!"

Mother Qin nodded and said:

"That's right, then let's not ask about brothers and sisters. As for the others, you can talk to mom!"

Qin Ling hesitated:

"I don't know anything else. Oh, Mom, please don't ask!"

Father Qin snorted and said:

"Let's stop being so annoying. Can't you see how tightly they are protecting us? Girls, go outside, humph!"

Qin Ling felt embarrassed by what his father said, and he called "Dad" shyly, but did not refute a word.

Mother Qin understood what was going on. It was obvious that her daughter was concerned about this matter. So she would have to find out more about the boy's family situation!
