257 Arrival
Although Jiang Chun told Xiao Lin to look for it himself and gave him the detailed address, that was mainly because she was worried that Yu Bing wouldn’t be able to pick him up. In that case, the two children wouldn’t have to wait there the entire time.
When Zhao Lin saw Jiang Chun at work, she took out a letter from her pocket and handed it over with a smile. “The postman came to deliver letters this morning and I happened to see yours, so I brought it over for you.”
Jiang Chun thought about how a letter had just arrived last week. Why was another letter sent again so soon? After she took the letter, she thanked Zhao Lin.
When she saw that the sender’s name was Cui Jin, Jiang Chun’s eyes widened. Because it was work time, Jiang Chun put the letter into her pocket and planned to read it at noon.
After chatting with Yu Bing that night, Jiang Chun had been busy working and studying these past few days, so she had almost forgotten about Cui Jin. She didn’t expect Cui Jin to send another letter. At this moment, the letter in her pocket seemed to have a sort of magic, captivating Jiang Chun.
When she finally returned home at noon, Jiang Chun opened the letter. There were not many words, just two pages, but there was a two-yuan note and a small paper bag of rat poison.
The contents of the letter were very simple. First, he expressed his gratitude to Jiang Chun, then he revealed his identity as a soldier. However, he didn’t mention what had happened that day. He only said that the matter had been resolved and that interesting things had happened recently. At the end of the letter, he even asked about Jiang Chun’s situation at work and mentioned that the special rat poison he had found in the army’s cookhouse was very useful, so Jiang Chun could write to him if she needed it again.
Jiang Chun burst out laughing when she saw this. The last time she sent him into the mountain, she felt that the silence was a little awkward, so she found a topic to talk about. She even said that when she heard him inside, she thought it was a rat, but she didn’t expect him to remember her words.
Hence, after Jiang Chun finished reading, she raised her pen and replied to the letter. Then, she sent it back according to the address.
On the day Cui Jin received this letter, he was in a good mood. Only then did his subordinates realize that their stoic superior knew how to smile too!
At this moment, Yu Bing, who was in S City, was traveling from the market, the guest house, and the hospital every day. At 10 AM on the day Jiang Chun told her about, Yu Bing waited at the door. At almost 11 AM, she finally saw the large truck from the machinery factory.
When Xiao Lin pulled Xiao Li out of the car and saw Yu Bing, Xiao Lin waved and greeted her happily, “Sister Yu Bing!”
Xiao Li carefully identified the direction of the footsteps she was familiar with. When she heard it, a smile immediately appeared on her face. “Sister Yu Bing.”
After Yu Bing replied loudly, she hurriedly went forward to hold the hands of the two siblings in relief.
They were two children after all, so although they were in a company car, she couldn’t help but feel worried.
Yu Bing turned to look at the two drivers and thanked them with a smile. “Thank you guys so much! These two little fellows have caused you guys a lot of trouble.”
Because Jiang Chun had given them two red packets early that morning, the drivers, who originally thought that bringing children was troublesome, immediately had no complaints anymore. The two of them took care of the Xiao siblings along the way. “It’s not troublesome at all. These two children are too sensible! I’ve never seen such sensible children.”
Those words were true. Xiao Lin and Xiao Li were afraid of troubling them, so they didn’t make any requests along the way and Xiao Lin kept cracking jokes. Usually, drivers would find long-distance drives boring, but this made the entire trip much more interesting.
The other driver also smiled and said, “Xiao Lin is very eloquent. He’ll definitely be promising in the future.”
Yu Bing suddenly felt as if her own children had grown up. As she looked at Xiao Lin, she couldn’t help but rub his head with a smile.
After saying goodbye to the drivers, Yu Bing brought the two children into the hospital.
When Xiao Li didn’t hear her brother’s voice, she turned her head and asked, “Sister Yu Bing, where’s my brother?”
Ever since Xiao Lin entered the city, he had been looking around with wonder. When he heard Xiao Li’s question, he finally realized that his brother didn’t appear. “That’s right. Sister Yu Bing, where’s my brother?!”
Yu Bing replied, “Your brother is waiting for you guys in the hospital. He was accidentally injured and got hospitalized. But don’t worry, he’ll be discharged in two days!”
Although she said that, Xiao Li and Xiao Lin’s joy from entering the city disappeared, and their faces were filled with worry.
