The car started and drove all the way back.

Wan Hong sat in the back seat and said politely with the simplicity typical of rural women:

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to give you a lift."

She thought that the two of them were originally from Yuanmeng County and had a good relationship with Si Chen, so they would take her along on this ride.

The driver didn't dare to talk easily and looked at Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo's emotions were tense all the time and he did not dare to speak.

He was afraid that when he opened his mouth, his voice might sound like crying.

The driver noticed that Lin Nuo was not in a good mood, so he quickly spoke up and said with a smile:

"I'm not busy anyway, I just want to go for a run. Then I'll go for a run."

Wan Hong didn't understand this answer for a while and could only smile.

For a moment, the car fell silent.

Wan Hong is not a person who is good at words. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally said:

"You all do business in Longcheng?"

The driver looked at Lin Nuo as usual and had to continue talking:

"Ah, yes, Longcheng is doing some small business."

Wan Hong felt that people seemed to be perfunctory with her. It was embarrassing to sit on their free ride without saying anything.

Say something, but this is the attitude.

Wan Hong's mouth is stupid and her brain is not flexible enough. She really can't think of anything good to say.

Fortunately, Lin Nuo adjusted his emotions in time, took a deep breath, turned around and said:

"Si Chen and I are brothers and we do business together."

Wan Hong didn't think about anything else, thinking that Lin Nuo was just like the Zhao brothers, who just had a good relationship with Si Chen and called each other brothers.

This is the problem with most northern men. There are brothers everywhere.

Wan Hong smiled kindly and replied politely: "This kid Si Chen is very capable, and the more he plays, the bigger his business will be!"

Then, while they were chattering, the topic between the two of them could not avoid Si Chen.

In fact, Lin Nuo's appearance is somewhat similar to Lotte.

It is often very easy for people to fall into a blind spot——

When someone says that a relative or friend you are very familiar with looks like so-and-so, you feel that they don't look like them.

Because you are so familiar with this person, what others may think is a little bit like him is not enough to be called "like" to you.

At this moment, Wan Hong fell into this blind spot.

She didn't even realize that Lin Nuo looked a bit like her biological daughter.

Along the way, the mother and son talked and laughed, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

In Lin Nuo's heart, there was a faint feeling of disappointment, but also a deep sigh of relief.

He wanted to recognize his mother, but he was held hostage by the "fear of being close to home" and he didn't dare to tell the truth.

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, the car returned to Sijia Village.

Wan Hong warmly invited Lin Nuo and the others to come in, saying they would have dinner before leaving.

In fact, she just wanted to be polite. People in rural areas were like this. Otherwise, she would always feel embarrassed that others were doing her a favor.

Lin Nuo was so rude to the driver that he really followed him!

However, without entering the house, he sat down at the table in the courtyard.

Now, it was Wan Hong who was embarrassed.

I hurriedly made tea for others, but there was no hot water.

Wan Hong quickly lit a fire on the small stove in the yard and boiled water.

However, there was too little water in the bucket around me.

Wan Hong took the bucket again and hurried to the well to fetch water.

Lin Nuo stepped forward to help, and with great strength, the young man easily lifted the bucket up from the well with a rope.

It's not killing the well or shaking the well, it's just a long rope hooked to the bucket, and then the bucket is thrown into the well.

Fill it with water and pull up the rope one by one with both hands.

This is a laborious job, and Wan Hong is relatively thin. From when he was young to now, he has never been able to hold a bucket of water.

Otherwise, it will take too much effort to close it up.

When he was young, Lin Nuo often accompanied his mother to collect ropes.

Her mother always told her to stay away so that the children wouldn't accidentally fall in.

Now, he has grown up.

But it was eighteen years later that I had the opportunity to collect the rope and fill a bucket of water for my mother.

Si Letian and Si Xiaoxiao had just finished their evening self-study when a bicycle came back.

Si Xiaoxiao was thick-skinned and followed him in to have some food. Before he even entered the door, he shouted:

"Aunt Hong, my parents are busy planting sorghum. Before they come back, I will eat at your house!"

Rural people will not leave their fields as long as it is not dark.

Only when it gets so dark that you can't see anymore, will you pack up your farm tools and go home in the dark.

When Si Letian saw two strangers at home, he subconsciously became wary.

But when she saw it was Lin Nuo, she breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down her emotions, and greeted her politely as if nothing had happened.

While Wan Hong was lighting the fire, he directed Si Letian to come to help and told him who these two people were.

Wan Hong and her daughter were busy cooking. Si Xiaoxiao sat in front of Lin Nuo and asked:

"You're not from here, are you?"

Lin Nuo then looked away and glanced at Si Xiaoxiao, who was slightly fat, had self-permed curly hair, a round face, and was fairly fair.

A pair of single eyelids means the eyes are big, not too small.

Just when she smiled, it turned into two crescent moons, with a bit of coquettishness.

Lin Nuo asked back, speaking in Yuanmeng County dialect: "Why not?"

Si Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, stared at him suspiciously, and muttered:

"The watch is from Patek Philippe, the car outside the door is from Audi, and the clothes and shoes are all imported. How can we have a fake foreign devil like you in Yuanmeng County?"

Lin Nuo:...fake foreign devil?!

However, he was shocked by Si Xiaoxiao's sharp observation.

Apart from anything else, the watch on his wrist, a Patek Philippe, was indeed not purchased in China.

I bought it when I was studying abroad. Paris is a fashion capital, and there are many good things there.

In this era in China, many imported things are not available, and if they are, quotas are needed.

Lin Nuo didn't answer Si Xiaoxiao's words, completely pretending that she didn't hear them.

Si Xiaoxiao became more and more curious about him and was not shy. She stared at him as if she wanted to poke a hole in his face.

…

Wan Hong was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly stir-fried the vegetables, heated up the steamed buns, and served them to the table.

She wiped her hands with her apron and said sheepishly:

"There isn't much good stuff here. I've cooked some side dishes, so don't dislike it."

"It's so late, I'm bothering you, there's nothing wrong with it, please sit down quickly!"

Lin Nuo quickly helped Wan Hong move a stool for her to sit on.

There was a table full of people eating, and the atmosphere was a bit reserved.

Si Xiaoxiao was somewhat of a social nerd, so he took the lead and started eating:

"I'm starving to death! The study tasks are so heavy every day, and my brain can't keep up without enough food."

With that said, she broke off half of the steamed bun and handed it to Lin Nuo.

"Try it, it's steamed by Lotte and I, but it's the result of Aunt Hong's real skills!"

Lin Nuo took the steamed bun, smiled at Si, curved his lips, and said, "Thank you!"
