Chapter 84 Jiang'an City, Settling Down
Chapter 84 Jiang'an City, Settling Down
There are many buses at the train station.
Lu Yuanqing wasn't very familiar with Jiang'an City, so he chose a nearby state-run hotel where he could quickly find a place to stay and get some rest.
Soon, a bus arrived, and Lu Yuanqing gestured for Lu Yuanbo to get on.
"Hey, Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbo, wait a minute, wait for me!" Qin Yang's voice rang out from behind.
Lu Yuanqing turned around and smiled, "Isn't Comrade Qin Yang a local? Isn't he going home?"
"Hey, it's fate that we met. Comrade Lu Yuanqing, you need to find a place to stay, right? I know a good hotel, I'll take you there!" Qin Yang said with a smile.
Lu Yuanqing smiled calmly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Qin Yang!"
"Thank you, Brother Qin!" Compared to Qin, Lu Yuanbo was more sincere.
Lu Yuanqing glanced at his foolish younger brother and sighed softly.
"By the way, what brings you to Jiang'an City? I'm quite familiar with Jiang'an City, so I might be able to help you!"
The bus doors closed and the bus started moving.
Lu Yuanbo scratched his head and said foolishly, "Thank you, Brother Qin, but there's no need to trouble yourself. We're here for something related to the production team. My brother is very capable; he knows the place. We'll just go directly there!"
Lu Yuanqing took a deep breath. Thank goodness, there's still hope!
"I won't trouble you. The commune has approved the permit. Traveling by car is too tiring. Right now, I just want to find a place to stay."
Qin Yang knew that being too enthusiastic might cause misunderstandings, so he didn't press the matter further.
"Yeah, that's true. I'm so tired after sitting in the car for so long! I want to get some rest!" Qin Yang agreed.
Lu Yuanqing originally wanted to find the nearest place to stay first.
However, taking advantage of their unfamiliarity with the area, Qin Yang led them on the train for many stops, until they were almost at the final stop before finally getting off.
"Look, that's it. The price is reasonable, so you can stay here without worry!" Qin Yang said, and then tried to lead them inside.
Lu Yuanqing smiled, didn't leave, and said, "Thank you for your help, Comrade Qin Yang, you're really kind!"
The sense of farewell was very clear.
Qin Yang wasn't stupid. He figured that since the person was nearby, it would be convenient to come and find them next time. The most important thing now was to hurry home and tell them the good news.
Thinking this, Qin Yang tilted his head slightly and said goodbye: "Alright, Comrade Lu Yuanqing, my home is nearby too, so I'll head home first. You guys rest, I'll come visit you sometime!"
The last sentence was clearly spoken to Lu Yuanbo.
Lu Yuanqing maintained a polite smile, while Lu Yuanbo waved and said okay in a silly manner.
Seeing Qin Yang turn and leave, Lu Yuanqing thought for a moment, and finally led Lu Yuanbo into the hotel.
As they approached the door, they saw Qin Yang turn around and look at them as he left. Only after seeing them enter the hotel did he turn away, relieved.
The previously bored waiter immediately straightened up and greeted them when he saw them enter, saying, "Checking in? Let me see your letter of introduction!"
Lu Yuanbo turned to look at Lu Yuanqing.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Sorry, we've gone to the wrong place. Let's leave now!"
Ignoring the waiter's puzzled expression, Lu Yuanqing grabbed Lu Yuanbo and ran outside.
What a joke! Only a fool would feel comfortable staying at a hotel recommended to someone who doesn't yet know whether it's good or bad.
Run, run quickly!
"Brother, didn't you say you'd stay here first? Why did you change your mind?" Lu Yuanbo asked, panting heavily.
Lu Yuanqing took a deep breath and decided not to pay any attention to this guy for the time being.
"Let's find a place to stay first!"
Lu Yuanbo was even more puzzled. He had just left a hotel and was now looking for a place to stay.
When did his third brother change so much?
Regardless of his thoughts, Lu Yuanqing had no time to pay attention to him. After asking passersby for directions, he walked quite a distance before finally seeing another hotel.
This time, Lu Yuanqing did not hesitate and booked a room with the letter of introduction.
When they reached the room door, Lu Yuanqing finally decided to settle the score. He grabbed Lu Yuanbo by the ear and dragged him into the room.
"Ouch, bro, bro, that hurts! What's wrong?! I didn't do anything!!!"
Lu Yuanqing spent half an hour pulling Lu Yuanbo's ear and explaining once again the importance of being cautious when traveling.
This time, because his ear was being pulled, Lu Yuanbo quickly realized his mistake.
"Brother, I was wrong. I just didn't think that person was a bad guy. You saw it yourself; he was very helpful and even helped us find a hotel!"
"Ha, you're really something. You can tell good people from bad people just by looking at them? And you're so helpful? Why would he be helpful for no reason? And help us find a place to stay? Who found us where we are now? You think you can just talk your way out of everything? Can't you ask around yourself? Do you need someone else to tell you?"
"Brother, I was really wrong. Be gentle, it hurts! I'll be more careful next time and stay vigilant!"
"Heh! Vigilance? What did you promise me at home? But what did you do? You told everyone about the family in the blink of an eye. Is this your vigilance? Huh??"
"What, bro? You mean he deliberately tried to trick me into talking?"
"Hehehe!..."
"Brother, can you stop chuckling? It's giving me the creeps!"
The lesson learned in half an hour has yet to show its effect, but Lu Yuanqing chuckled inwardly as he watched Lu Yuanbo cover his ears, looking lingering fear.
They're like sticks; they won't learn their lesson until they take action!
After disciplining his younger brother, Lu Yuanqing finally had the time to look around the room.
The room had electricity and lights, and it looked quite clean.
The waiter also brought them hot water and enamel basins for them to wash up.
The room only has a bed and a stool; the toilet and sink are outside.
The younger brother needed to be disciplined, but Lu Yuanqing still took Lu Yuanbo with him when brushing his teeth, washing his face, and going to the toilet.
After washing up and locking the door, Lu Yuanqing quickly rolled onto the relatively clean bed.
"Take a nap first, we'll talk about it when we wake up!" Lu Yuanqing said.
He had never traveled by car like this before, and felt completely exhausted. He is now sleeping to recover.
Lu Yuanbo hasn't slept much since last night; he's too excited.
Everything on the train was new and exciting, and with Qin Yang's cryptic questions, he didn't get a proper rest all day.
Now that things have quieted down, drowsiness is attacking him relentlessly.
He yawned, and less than three seconds after lying down, Lu Yuanbo's breathing became heavy.
Lu Yuanqing was still trying to fall asleep when he noticed everything around him. He pursed his lips and envied Lu Yuanbo's good sleep.
……
Meanwhile, Qin Yang rushed home.
"Son, you're back! Why are you in such a hurry? Were you chased by a dog?" Qin's mother was about to smile when she saw her son return, but she was startled by his anxious appearance.
"Mom, I'm telling you, I'm in the truck..."
"Don't rush, drink some water and catch your breath before you talk!" Qin's mother interrupted him.
Goodness, he was panting as he spoke, and it sounded like he was about to pass by. That's really scary!
Qin Yang wanted to say he wasn't thirsty and wouldn't drink, but what time was it now and he wasn't in the mood for water! But just as he was about to refuse, his mother roughly held the bowl to his lips.
Now he had no choice but to drink, and even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Oh, motherly love! A sweet burden.
"Mom, I've got something to tell you. I saw it on the train..."
"By the way, son, it's so good that you're back. Your second aunt has introduced you to a girl, and we're saying that you should go and meet her when you get back from your business trip!"
"...Mom, can you please stop interrupting me!" I'm so annoyed; all my initial urgency has vanished.
Qin's mother smiled, her eyes narrowing, and said, "Alright, Mom won't interrupt anymore, go ahead!"
If she interrupts again, her silly son will really get angry!
Qin Yang snorted twice and said again, "Mom, let me tell you, I saw someone on the train who looks a lot like Cheng Jun!"
"What?"
