As Qin Qiong finished speaking, there were footsteps in the courtyard again, and it was Qin's mother who was here.
Seeing the eager look on Qin Qiong's face, Qin's mother couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked:
"Uncle Bao, why are you so anxious? What happened?"
After hearing Qin's mother, Qin Qiong felt a little calmer. He glanced at Fan Hu and said:
"Mother, let's go in and talk!"
Everyone entered the Qin family main hall.
Based on Qin's mother's understanding of Qin Qiong, he could certainly tell that his son's behavior must be due to something, and it was not a trivial matter.
Sit down each.
Qin Qiong did not hide anything, but said sternly in front of Fan Hu:
"Mother, today I was waiting at Jialiudian and met a group of people who came to Licheng to find relatives. Just now Jianwei asked them and found out some information."
Qin's mother's eyes flickered slightly. She certainly knew that Qin Qiong would not say this for no reason. For a moment, the past events came to mind, and his expression became complicated.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Qiong exhaled a breath and said:
"The young man's surname is Luo. He said he wanted to find his aunt and cousin. His aunt is Ning, and his cousin's nickname is Taiping Lang..."
In fact, Qin Qiong already had the answer in his mind, but he couldn't believe it and couldn't be sure.
Mother Qin also looked shocked and said in a daze:
"This is Shengzhu's son. It's great that Shengzhu is still alive after so many years."
Fan Hu knew these things well, but in order not to be so abrupt, his face was full of doubts.
"Godmother, uncle, what are you talking about?"
Mother Qin thought about it for a while, cleared her thoughts and said:
"Jianwei, if my prediction is correct, this young man looking for a relative should be Shu Bao's cousin.
Back then, when Shubao's father was still alive, his aunt married a military officer named Luo in a distant place. Afterwards, they encountered troubled times, and the two families were cut off from each other, and no one knew about each other's situation.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Shubao is still here and letting her children find Licheng. This is really great. "
As she said this, Qin's mother burst into tears.
For Qin's mother, this news is of course a good thing. Lost relatives have been contacted again, especially her sisters from back then. How could she be unhappy?
But at the same time, thinking about how many years have passed, crying with joy is also a reasonable reaction.
Fan Hu quickly stepped forward to comfort him:
"Godmother, this is a happy event, don't be sad."
Qin's mother calmed down for a while, took Qin Qiong and Fan Hu's hands, finally calmed down, and said softly:
"Yes, this is a happy event. Uncle Bao, since you get to see your cousin this time, you should invite him to your home as soon as possible. I want to see what Shengzhu's child will look like."
Fan Hu immediately laughed and said:
"Godmother, please don't tell me. That young man Luo Cheng is fair and fair and extremely handsome."
For a time, the atmosphere among several people became much more relaxed.
——
The next day.
Fan Hu and Qin Qiong first asked people to go to the county government office to ask for leave. Whether it was Shan Xiongxin and others, or Luo Cheng and his party, they all needed to be well entertained and it was impossible to go to work.
They have already discussed with Qin's mother and asked Shan Xiong to trust them and come to Qin's house for a meal with Luo Cheng.
Such a happy event, of course, requires a large number of people to make it lively.
The two rode towards the outside of the city.
Fan Hu couldn't help but smile and said:
"Uncle Bao, I didn't expect that Luo Cheng was actually your cousin. I fought with him yesterday. You won't blame me!"
Qin Qiong's mouth twitched, feeling strange for no reason.
But when I think about it carefully, it’s really a bit confusing. Luo Cheng was his cousin, and Shan Xiongxin and others were his friends. There was a conflict between the two parties, and he felt awkward wherever he stood.
Fortunately, Fan Hu took action.
Otherwise, if the two sides get into a big feud, that would be troublesome.
"Jianwei, thank you for this. If you hadn't asked, I might not have known that he was my cousin!"
Although before this, Qin Qiong had heard Qin's mother mention that he might have an aunt still alive. However, after more than 20 years, many things were completely unpredictable.
In Qin Qiong's heart, his only relative is Qin's mother.
Fan Hu is his best brother.
Now that she has a few more relatives, Qin Qiong inevitably feels uneasy and doesn't know how to deal with it.
that's all.
The two quickly arrived in front of Jia Liu's store.
Before he even got close, Fan Hu saw someone practicing a gun on the ground at the door from a distance.
Look at that posture, who is it if it's not Luo Cheng?
I just don't know whether Luo Cheng got up so early in the morning, whether it was a habit, or whether he knew his shame and became brave. After being defeated by Fan Hu, he wanted to avenge his shame.
Thinking of this, Fan Hu raced even faster. When he arrived in front of him, he stretched out his hand to say hello:
"Brother Luo, are you here to practice shooting so early?"
Seeing that it was Fan Hu, Luo Cheng nodded lightly and said with a gentle expression:
"I just have nothing to do here, so I got up and practiced shooting."
Qin Qiong looked at Luo Cheng. He never thought before that this young man would be his cousin.
But the information given by Luo Cheng was quite clear, even if Qin Qiong wanted to deny it, he couldn't.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Qiong said stiffly:
"Brother Luo!"
Luo Cheng saw Qin Qiong yesterday and had some impression, so he nodded and replied:
"Brother Qin."
The two nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing the two of them like this, Fan Hu just felt funny. He simply spoke for Qin Qiong:
"Brother Luo, you came to Licheng County for the first time, and we felt like old friends at first sight. Today, I'm preparing a banquet at home, so you can come with us, and we can all join in the fun."
Luo Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused. Although he didn't hold any grudge against Fan Hu after last night, they were just meeting each other for the first time and were not familiar with each other.
Actually invited him to the family dinner?
After all, Luo Cheng is young now and has not experienced much. When Fan Hu said it, he fell into entanglement.
He hesitated to speak and wanted to refuse.
Fan Hu quickly added:
"Brother Luo, you must come to this family banquet. Without you, I am afraid this family banquet will not be held."
Luo Cheng naturally couldn't hear what Fan Hu meant, but Fan Hu's words were sincere, and his heart moved. When he first came to Licheng, he had no familiar friends, and Fan Hu was considered half a friend.
How could he easily refuse the invitation?
After considering this, Luo Cheng made a decision. He nodded slightly, cupped his hands towards Fan Hu and said:
"Brother Fan is so kind, I will definitely arrive on time."
After the decision was made, Fan Hu and Qin Qiong both dismounted and walked towards Jia Liu's shop. At this moment, Qin Qiong's eyes moved slightly and whispered to Fan Hu:
"Jianwei, thank you very much just now. My cousin and I are not familiar with each other, so I really don't know how to speak."
In fact, Qin Qiong is not introverted. He has a lot of fun chatting with those wealthy people.
But Luo Cheng's identity is somewhat special.
Coupled with what happened yesterday, I can't help but have some concerns.
Fan Hu knew it, so he invited Luo Cheng so directly.
As he said just now, Luo Chengcai is the protagonist of this family dinner. If Luo Cheng doesn't come, how can the family dinner continue?
