He stared at their worried and anxious eyes.

Chen Jianji fell silent.

He told his family that he caught a cold and fever after being caught in the rain.

As for the car, not a word was mentioned.

Based on my understanding of Lin Qingxue.

This person probably didn't mention it either.

After all, she spent tens of thousands of yuan on a car that was not very practical for her family's current situation and would require ongoing expenses.

It's really not worth it.

His former father-in-law and mother-in-law were also people who could stretch every penny.

She is frugal herself, but exceptionally generous to her children.

In his previous life, whenever the children had a long holiday, Chen Jianji would always give them money when he came back.

But it wasn't until they drove away that they realized what was happening.

Only then did I realize that the money had been slipped back to me at some point.

Chen Jianji called to complain about them.

They said it with a smile.

You young people have many expenses in the city, while we don't need much money at home. Just come back and visit often when you have time.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Suling also came over to wash her hands and gave her silly son a nudge.

Chen Jianji then came to his senses, forced a smile, and said with a stiff upper lip.

"No, it's just a small matter. She'll probably be back tomorrow or the day after."

"Don't worry, Liu Yun is there with her. I'll send you her number via text message."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Xinrong and Feng Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The former nodded and took his phone out of his pocket.

"Okay, okay, my phone number is..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Ding ding...

The already somewhat worn screen in his hand lit up.

The system is displaying a message that has been received, which is a phone number.

"I've sent it. Please save it. I'm going in to change my clothes."

After finishing speaking, Chen Jianji stopped looking at the two men and walked straight into the house.

The people standing there were stunned.

Wang Suling was no exception.

After a long while, she came to her senses and waved her hand.

"Hey, this kid has no manners. Maybe he's too tired from the car ride. Let's ignore him."

"Come on, let's go inside and have dinner first."

Lin Xinrong first glanced at Feng Qian.

Then he pointed to his phone at Wang Suling and smiled.

"Um... I'd like to call the child and see if I can get in touch with them. It's been two days since I last spoke to them."

"Okay, okay, you ask first. I'll go inside first. Come and eat later, the dishes are all ready."

"well..."

Wang Suling went into the back of the house.

Only the two of them remained in the courtyard outside the gate.

Lin Xinrong pulled her phone further away and squinted.

"13...what was it again?"

Feng Qian couldn't help but say, "Didn't Xiaoxue teach you? You can use the up and down buttons or something to dial this number directly."

"Oh, don't worry, Xiaoxue also said how to copy it, let me try first."

"You just forgot, didn't you? Why don't you ask Chen?"

"No need, no need, just try it yourself first... It's always so troublesome to ask people for help there, look, isn't this fine?"

Beep...beep...

Lin Xinrong put the phone to her ear, and Feng Qian nervously pressed her ear close as well.

At this moment, the two of them were simply parents who cared about their child.

The call connected quickly.

"Feed? Who?"

A female voice that I'm not very familiar with.

It must be that classmate named Liu Yun.

Lin Xinrong quickly replied.

"Is this Liu Yun? I'm Xiaoxue's father. Is she with you right now?"

"Oh, yes, I just heated up some food and wanted to bring it to her."

"Uncle, if it's convenient for you later, could you please persuade her to eat something? She hasn't had breakfast yet."

The person on the other end spoke almost rapidly, followed by a burst of static from the phone.

"Qingxue, your dad is calling!"

The sound was quite far away.

clatter..

A crisp sound rang out.

The phone must have been taken and picked up by someone.

Lin Xinrong and Feng Qian both held their phones closer to their screens.

Until a soft voice came from the other end of the phone.

"dad."

I heard her voice.

Lin Xinrong's previously tense body relaxed.

But Feng Qian frowned, her worry deepening.

She took the phone directly and asked softly.


The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm.

"It's nothing, I probably just caught a cold and have no appetite."

Feng Qian felt a slight tightness in her chest and sighed.

"We can't get in touch with you. We just asked Xiao Chen's family last night, and they said you don't have a cold, you have a fever."

Lin Qingxue's breathing faltered for a moment before she spoke.

"Mom, my phone got wet and I took it to get it repaired. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Feng Qian looked at Lin Xinrong and remained silent for a long time.

Their daughter.

They always only report good news and never bad news.

No matter how much you press them.

She always tries to downplay or even avoid talking about the things that happen to her.

But this time, the weariness and helplessness in her voice were impossible to hide.

Feng Qian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Xinrong took the phone from him and chuckled.

"Xiaoxue, Dad has recovered and no longer needs to do those heavy jobs."

"Some people wanted to rent the land that the village allocated to us for farming and paid us a sum of money annually. We kept a small piece of land for ourselves and reclaimed it."

"We have enough money and food."

He paused as he spoke, his voice softening considerably.

"Go home if you're too tired."

"Your mother and I..."

"I'll be waiting for you at home."
