"You also know my mother, she is easily influenced. She can't keep calm when someone asks her for help. The spring breeze of reform is now blowing all over China. Relatives in my hometown know that my eldest sister has made a name for herself in the capital, and they all want to follow her and eat a meal in the city, not to mention the food in the capital. My mother couldn't resist the relatives' complaints, so she brought someone with her, but she made my eldest sister angry." Gu Juncheng continued to explain to her, "My mother was also angry and felt that she would lose face in her hometown in the future. I could only bring the two elders out, do their work, and persuade them to go back."

"Have you sent them to the train and are coming back?" Lin Qingping looked at him with eyes that gradually turned cold.

He was lying to her too.

She and he had been husband and wife for two lifetimes, and even though they had not had much contact in the previous life, she treated him wholeheartedly in this life. She knew his character very well, but she had a basic understanding of it - he had never been good at or bothered to explain, and he had always been a man of few words. For such a person, once he talked a lot about a very simple matter over and over again from different angles, it itself meant that it was abnormal.

Gu Juncheng, your psychological quality shouldn't be like this, right?

"What time do their trains leave?" she asked casually.

"I just sent it to the train, and I came back after that." He avoided answering the question directly.

Lin Qingping hasn't been back to his hometown for many years. He doesn't know how many trains there are back to his hometown every day and what time they leave.

But she didn't say anything else, just closed her eyes slightly and whispered, "I want to sleep for a while."

"Okay. I'll carry you back to your room."

The moment he stood up and hugged her, she clearly heard his sigh of relief.

Gu Juncheng, no matter how I ask you now, you won’t tell the truth?

She never liked to force anyone, so since he didn't want to say anything, she wouldn't ask anymore.

However, she didn't like the feeling of being deceived. She wanted to know what had happened. Even if her life only lasted until tomorrow, she had to know her fate clearly today and arrange what needed to be arranged in advance.

In the afternoon, Mary came to see her.

In the past year, Meili has handed over the management of the factory in the south to professional managers, and she herself has been based in the capital. On the one hand, she wants to move the brand to the high-end line, and on the other hand, her son Xiao Wu is growing up, and she can't keep running back and forth.

She pulled Meili to help her do something. "I have something to do in my hometown, but you can see how I am now. I can't go back. I want my second sister to go back in my place. When you go back later, please help me go to the train station to see how many trains there are going back to my hometown and what time they are."

"Then I'll buy you the train ticket." said Meili.

"No need, we haven't decided on a specific date to return. Please help me check the time first." Lin Qingping said.

"Okay, there's no need to go to the train station to check this! I'll just go home and look at the train timetable and tell you after I've read it. Don't you have one at home? I'll bring you one later. I might as well go now. I've told you a long time ago that I wanted to install a phone." Mary said, said goodbye to her, and got up to watch the train.

Meili came back in less than an hour with a national train timetable in her hand. She handed it to her, "I was worried that the timetable would not keep up with the changes, so I went to the train station to check it. It's correct, no problem."

Mary marked out all the trains heading back to her hometown.

Lin Qingping looked and saw that there were three trips a day, one in the morning, one in the evening, and one at two in the morning.

No matter which trip it was, it was not a trip that Gu Juncheng could take his parents on.

Lin Qingping looked at the three red lines, her mind gradually becoming empty: Why did he lie to her?

Meili ate dinner with her before leaving. Zhangzhu liked Meili very much and chased after her to see her off, which made Meili like Zhangzhu even more. She said to Lin Qingping, "Why don't I take her back to play with her for a few days and then bring her back to you."

When Gu Juncheng heard this, he immediately took his daughter back.

Meili had expected Gu Juncheng's reaction, but Zhangzhu chased after Meili to hug her, stretching out her little arms and calling her "Auntie".

So Gu Juncheng had no choice but to send Meili out.

When they got outside, Meili looked at him and said, "What are you planning to do? Are you planning to change your career?"

Gu Juncheng frowned slightly, but his tone was firm, "We'll take it one step at a time."

Meili nodded. "You can't just abandon her in this state. Thank you for taking good care of her."

"It should be," he said. "How about the scales?"

"It's fine. I'm not used to it, but I'll be able to do the job and won't let you down." Mary looked at him and said.

Gu Juncheng has temporarily left the island, and Wu Tianping has taken over his position.

Gu Juncheng nodded, meaning that with Wu Tianping around, he had nothing to worry about.

"My sister has already found a way. Let's...work hard together." Mary said, but she began to choke up.

"Well, thank you." Gu Juncheng said.

"Auntie..." Zhangzhu keenly noticed that Mary seemed to be about to cry.

Meili looked at Zhangzhu and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Zhangzhu baby, there is sand in my eyes, Zhangzhu, can you blow it out for me?"

"Okay--" Zhangzhu said in a childish but firm voice, puffing up her cheeks and blowing into Meili's eyes.

The sweet smell of milk blew across Meili's nose, and Meili felt her eyes become more sore...

the next day.

Gu Juncheng went shopping for groceries as usual in the morning.

The weather is hot nowadays, and the family doesn’t often stock up on vegetables, especially vegetables. Gu Juncheng has taken on the task of buying vegetables. Every day after cleaning the house, Lin Qingping and his daughter, he goes out to buy vegetables.

Normally, he would be back in twenty minutes, but today, he was gone for almost an hour.

Moreover, after coming back, he would put down the food and leave in a hurry.

He called his second sister, "At noon, you and my eldest sister can decide who can cook and who can take care of your sister. Divide the work. I have to go out for a while and may not be able to make it back for lunch."

Gu Youlian had not arrived yet, and Sister Zhao had just gone to the store. After Gu Juncheng left, there were only two children, Lin Qingping and the second sister at home.

Lin Qingping held her second sister's hand and said, "Go, follow Gu Juncheng and see what he is doing."

"Sister..." The second sister was very surprised.

"Qingyun, we are sisters. I only trust you and I only believe that you won't lie to me. You must see clearly where he went and what he did and tell me the truth. You are not allowed to hide anything. Do you hear me?" Lin Qingping said in a serious tone.

The second sister was shocked by her seriousness and nodded quickly, "Okay."

"Be careful, don't let him find out, he is not an ordinary person." Lin Qingping warned.

"I know. But you..." The second sister is gone, and she and the child are the only ones left at home!

"It's not a big deal. I'm just lying here and don't have to do anything. What can go wrong? If you need anything, just call Zhiyuan. He is almost as tall as me. Besides, your elder sister will be here soon. Go quickly, or you will not be able to keep up." Lin Qingping urged.
