Reboot 2003

Chapter 22 022: Fly away

The things are enough, as long as they are delivered to Lao Xu, the situation should be better... right?

Chen Qin thought so, after class at noon, the two stopped at the intersection.

Xu Lingling held the glass jar, and Chen Qin poured the thousand paper cranes into it together.

Then put the lid on, and Chen Qin taught her: "I'll give it to your dad when I get back home, and just say that dad has worked hard recently, will you tell me?"

Xu Lingling nodded, Chen Qin was worried: "No, you can rehearse it now and let me see."

Xu Lingling twisted her body in embarrassment, but she couldn't stand Chen Qin's urging, so she said in a soft voice with a flushed face, "Dad has worked hard, this is for you."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of handing over the jar with both hands.

However, Chen Qin was not satisfied.

"No, no, it's too dry, you should learn from me."

As he spoke, he cleared his throat, and demonstrated to Xu Lingling in a cadenced manner: "Dad has worked hard, this gift is for Dad, Lingling likes Dad the most! mua!"

This was too exaggerated, Xu Lingling blushed when she heard it.

Chen Qin urged her to learn it again, and said: "Don't feel embarrassed, Uncle Xu has been under so much pressure recently that our child can't do anything else. Only by saying this can he come out and be in the mood to continue working and living!"

Xu Lingling blushed and demonstrated again, and Chen Qin corrected her two more places, and then urged her to leave quickly: "Quick, go back now, and give the things to your dad when you enter the door!"

After speaking, they took Xu Lingling with them, and the two ran back home. Chen Qin watched Xu Lingling go upstairs, and the sound of closing the door was heard in the corridor after a while.

Chen Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to walk to his home.For the next thing, we can only look at the father and daughter themselves...

However, Chen Qin was still a little worried.

After returning home, Chen Qin was still thinking about Xu Lingling.

After lunch at noon, he went to play marbles in the yard...of course he wasn't really playing. Normally, Xu Lingling would run down together when she saw him in the yard. Although it was noon today, Xu Lingling would probably come to talk to him after she finished.

It's just that for some reason, Chen Qin waited downstairs until he went to school, and Xu Lingling didn't come down either.

At two o'clock, Lao Chen came down to urge him to pack up and go to school.

Chen Qin could only go to school first, sit in the classroom, and stare at the second row of empty seats.

When I came back to my senses, the class bell had already rang, but Xu Lingling was still alone.

The first section was Chinese class. Teacher Xiaomeng asked after entering the door: "Whose position is this?"

The disciplinary committee immediately replied: "It belongs to Xu Lingfei!"

"Is she here?"

"No……"

"She was still there in the morning."

Teacher Xiaomeng didn't seem to know about it, but he just treated it as a normal lateness and didn't think much about it.

Chen Qin felt that the situation was not good, and after 5 minutes of class, he suddenly yelled: "Ouch, Ouch!"

"Chen Qin, what's the matter with you?"

"Teacher, my stomach hurts!"

Because it was a bit exaggerated, and Chen Qin has been acting weird recently, the other students laughed. Teacher Xiao Meng didn't dare to be careless, and asked him with concern: "Does it hurt? Where does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt too much, but it still hurts!"

It seems that the speech is very orderly, the face is normal, and it even seems to be a bit of an act...Mr. Xiaomeng was relieved, but he still notified the parents. Old Chen came to pick him up from the printing factory: "What's the matter? Teacher Meng said you have a stomachache?"

Chen Qin nodded, and Lao Chen took him out of the school gate. Chen Qin suddenly told him: "It's not good, Dad, Xu Lingling didn't come to school this afternoon."

"Huh? So your stomach hurts?"

"It's not important, but Xu Lingling didn't ask for leave, she just stopped coming suddenly, something must have happened to her family!"

Old Chen was a little confused: "How do you know?"

"It's hard to think about it. At noon today, Xu Lingling folded a bunch of paper cranes to give to her father, but there was no news after returning. Uncle Xu's mental state is so bad, why don't you go and have a look!"

Chen Qin talked to him like a cannonball, Lao Chen was bluffed by him, and returned to the compound in a daze, Lao Chen asked Chen Qin to wait downstairs, and he went upstairs and rang Xu Lingling's doorbell.

Of course, Chen Qin wouldn't wait obediently, he followed immediately, and when he reached the third floor, old Chen Gang knocked on the door.

So Chen Qin saw an extremely normal scene——

The bearded old Xu was wearing a shirt and holding a plastic bag in his hand. Behind him stood his daughter in school uniform, who met the old Chen father and son outside the door.

It looks... like a misunderstanding.

There is nothing wrong with the old Xu's family. He said he was fine, and Xu Lingling was fine.

The reason why Xu Lingling didn't come was because her grandma moved here today, and she brought her leave slip, but it's just not in place yet...

In short, there is indeed nothing wrong with the old Xu family.

Chen Qin also became a war criminal who lied about the military situation, and was criticized a lot when he got home.

Chen Qin had nothing to say, so he could only honestly admit his failure, but he probably guessed that 'I didn't have time to ask for leave' should be just an excuse.

That afternoon, after Lao Chen told Chen Qin, he went back to work by himself.

At this time, Chen Qin looked out of the window, of course he didn't think that this matter should be left alone.

It's just that Xu Lingling didn't make much noise. Chen Qin went out that night, and there was no one at Xu Lingling's house. A group of people came back after eight o'clock in the evening, including Xu Lingling's grandma and a few other relatives. Chen Qin didn't get involved.

On the second day, Chen Qin came to the classroom early in the morning, but Xu Lingling still didn't come, but it seemed that she seriously asked for leave today, and the reason was unknown.

When I got home at noon, Lao Chen came back after a while.

Chen Qin originally planned to visit Xu Lingling's house after dinner, but when Old Chen came in, he said, "Today, the factory announced that Xu Tao has officially resigned... He didn't come after yesterday afternoon. It seems that he is no longer in Longshan today."

Lou Xuemei hurriedly wiped her hands and came to the kitchen door: "Where did he go?"

"It seems to be going to Pengcheng."

"The man you mentioned last time..."

"It's from Cantonese."

"Hey...you said yesterday that he's fine!" Lou Xuemei stomped her feet angrily, "You guys drink so hard, why didn't you try to persuade him?"

And worried: "If he goes, what will Xu Lingling do?"

Old Chen was also depressed: "We don't know. He was fine yesterday. I went with Xiaoqin, and he said nothing happened."

……

Xu Lingling's father went to Pengcheng after all, and it seems that his motives are questionable.

Chen Qin clearly remembered that the 'Hao Lianhai' on the information seemed to be from Pengcheng.

As for Lao Chen and his buddies, it was a good thing. When they were drinking, they said that if they were going to Pengcheng, his brothers could bring their own dry food to help him go.

But Lao Xu didn't tell anyone, and ran to Pengcheng quietly by himself, and even changed his phone number, obviously because he didn't want to drag others down.

This is really worrying.

At noon, Lao Chen went to Xu Lingling's house and came back to say that Lao Xu left yesterday.

That afternoon, Xu Lingling finally came to school. Chen Qin asked her what was wrong, and she also told Chen Qin what had happened before—it wasn’t complicated. In short, it was Lao Xu who received the gift and was really happy.

But he was determined to go to Pengcheng and send Xu Lingling to a nearby uncle's house for temporary foster care.

Xu Lingling didn't agree, and in the end, Old Xu didn't force her. Instead, he took Grandma Xu Lingling over to take care of her. He set off early this morning by himself.
