Chapter 282 The train arrived, but no one picked it up (2)

Lao Hei briefly described the situation at that time.

He now has no idea how he got lost.

When he was talking to his unlucky nephew, his eyes were always looking around for people, but when his niece-in-law came over, it was the first New Year she had officially returned home, so he couldn't be absent-minded and perfunctory when talking to her.

It only took two sentences...

He was sure of the person at a glance, but he just couldn't see where he was.

Although Pei Yanning and Gu Si were anxious, they still remained rational.

This can’t be blamed on Lao Hei.

Helping is a favor, not helping is your duty. It was good of Lao Hei to make the trip, and you couldn't blame him given the situation at that time.

Pei Yanning continued chatting with Lao Hei, while Gu Si took a few steps back and became absent-minded. In fact, he was using the little mental power that he had finally recovered to connect to the optical brain and continue sending messages to Ling Xi.

He really couldn't help but want to run and find someone at this moment.

There were also the sound-absorbing ear stickers, which Lingxi had put into the space when she was taking a shower. He would only take them out and use them when they were talking on the phone when no one was around. Otherwise, he could have monitored current events and would not be so helpless now.

at the same time--

When Lingxi heard that they had to chop firewood, she was stunned for a long time. After Uncle Pei and the others left and the wind blew in from the open car door, she came to her senses a little, and then she noticed the messages coming in from the group system space.

Lingxi's heart skipped a beat, it's bad!

She quickly replied to Gu Si.

[Lingxi]: Yes.

[Ling Xi]: Fourth brother, don’t worry, I fell asleep, I’m sorry.

[Ling Xi]: We are now passing by a hillside on the outskirts of the city. My second uncle said that after we pass that hillside, we may not be able to get out again. It will be bad if there is not enough firewood by then. So the car stopped here. The old man, my second uncle, my second brother, and the driver all followed us to the leeward hillside to chop firewood.

[Ling Xi]: Oh, by the way, that driver used to be my second brother’s colleague.

……

Lingxi sent a string of messages and instantly calmed Gu Si down.

He saw that Pei Yanning and Lao Hei were talking about something that would take a while, so he didn't want to interrupt. He simply went back to the room, pretended to be serious, and took out a thermos and an enamel pot, and handed them to Lao Hei: "It's very cold after this trip. Drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

Lao Hei suddenly felt embarrassed.

Pei Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly. Gu Si was not so kind. He looked over and saw that Gu Si had already spoken.

"Second uncle has always been a considerate person. Second brother has been traveling around the country in recent years. I think he will be back soon."

Pei Yanning's expression relaxed.

He knew Gu Si quite well, so since he could say that, he probably had already contacted him.

But he said, "That's true. Dad only thought about a little kid with three younger kids. He completely forgot about your second uncle and second brother."

Gu Si laughed: "You are too concerned and confused..."

Gu Si came over to say hello to Pei Yanning, and after delivering the message, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Dad, you guys chat. Since the train has arrived, they must be here soon. I'll see if there's anything I can do to feed them."

Lao Hei listened to their conversation and felt quite guilty. If he hadn't failed to pick up the person, they wouldn't have to worry so much.

but--

"You're a good son-in-law." Lao Hei praised Pei Yanning.

Pei Yanning is not humble at all.

"Of course." He knew that Gu Si and Ling Xi were in contact, and the corners of his mouth rose. He was in a very good mood, and then he praised: "She is only a little bit worse than me, but much better than you. Hey, you, who don't even have a wife, won't understand."

Lao Hei: "..."

!!! He suddenly felt a toothache.

What a behavior!
After writing ideological reports for so many days, why hasn't he changed his narcissism?

He quickly changed the subject, as if he suddenly remembered something, "I heard from Xiaoxuan that Ayan is also coming back for the New Year."

Pei Yanning's smile faded a little, "Xi Yan!"

He was silent for a moment before he said, "It's good that she's back! If the wound on her face isn't healed, I have some ointment at home for you to take."

The scar-removing ointment was prepared by Gu Si in the summer when Baby Zhao was picking up a bundle of vegetables in the yard and his soles were scratched by the bluestone slabs and stones on the road.

Gu Si was worried about leaving scars, so he made ointment.

Pei Yanning had a mysterious trust in Gu Si's medical skills.

Lao Hei sighed when he heard Pei Yanning's words.

"I don't know the details, let's wait until she comes back!" He didn't continue to change the subject, "I really don't need to look for my eldest niece again?"

Pei Yanning just shook his head.

“If you didn’t receive it, you didn’t receive it.

Just like my brother-in-law said, with my nephew here and the address, he can come to your house.

I asked you to pick it up for the sake of convenience, so let's leave it at that for now."

When Lao Hei heard this, he thought of Pei's second brother and several older nephews, each of whom was capable of doing things, so he simply stopped worrying about it.

It was already dawn, so he simply waved goodbye to Pei Yanning.

"The chef said there are fried dough sticks this morning. I'll go get some for you. It's just the right time to go..." Hey, life is hard now. To eat fried dough sticks depends on the situation in the canteen. At most, they can fry them once or twice a month...

Pei Yanning didn't say no either.

Although the whole country is short of food now, there is always a part that lives better. The compound next door is much more relaxed than other places.

Firstly, the rations there are already the best, and secondly, due to the special nature of the work there, they have a fixed six months' supply of food.

After all, a mission often lasts for several months or even half a year, so food and logistics must always be prepared in advance.

Therefore, it is not a rare thing to see fried dough sticks there at this moment.

He stood there for a while, his thoughts drifting away.

The group of people guarding the yard saw that Lao Hei had already driven away, and Pei Yanning was still there without making any movement. A young man shouted, "Brother Pei?"

Pei Yanning came back to his senses, laughed, and said with some emotion: "I'm in this situation, and Lao Hei is still helping me run around. It's really touching."

He said this in a slow tone, and everyone was instantly choked.

Everyone knew about the expedition team's affairs. Every one of them owed Pei Yanning several lives.

They have such a close relationship that they are moved by just running errands...

Pei Yan was just talking casually, and they just listened casually and nodded in agreement.

Even if a tiger is locked up, it is still a tiger and can eat people. What's more, what is the reason why Pei Yanning is locked up? Others may not know, but don't they know it?

They didn't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers, they just followed and agreed.

"Who says it isn't?"

Pei Yanning felt a little regretful that the other party was too tactful. He couldn't even say a few sarcastic words to him. He turned around and walked back, but suddenly he thought of something and stopped again.

"My daughter and her family may be here soon. If you see a girl who looks like me coming over, don't stop her."

The guards: “…”

"Oh well!"
