Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Chapter 112 Comfort and Advice

The crowd stopped instantly and looked toward the source of the voice.

Chen Guochang raised his hand in agreement, and then smiled at the people behind him.

"This is my son."

"Come on, dinner's ready. Everyone must be hungry."

"Old Zhang, go wash your face with them, then tell them to sit down. I'll go inside and see if they need any help serving the dishes."

"it is good."

Chen Guochang stepped forward and was the first to enter the courtyard.

"Hey kid, where's Xinyi?"

"Wasn't she supposed to come back together?"

As he spoke, he casually picked up a towel hanging on a bamboo pole and wiped his face and hands.

"The night she came to stay last week, it seemed like she didn't sleep at all. I thought she wouldn't be used to living at school and would continue living there, but I didn't expect her to be willing to come back."

"Later, light two more rows of mosquito coils and put them in the yard to repel mosquitoes. Xinyi has been in the city for a long time, so she should be most afraid of these things living in the countryside."

Chen Guochang wiped his neck and continued speaking.

But there was no response for a long time.

He threw the towel aside and turned back to complain.

"You brat, didn't you hear me..."

But Chen Guochang hadn't finished speaking.

But then he saw his son, Chen Jianji, staring intently at Lin Xinrong and his wife, who were already seated at the table and chairs in the yard not far away.

"Um?"

Chen Guochang looked toward Lin Xinrong sitting at the table and chairs.

The couple stared blankly at Chen Jianji.

suddenly.

Snapped!

Chen Jianji felt a weight on his shoulder.

I almost dropped the bowl I was holding.

He turned his head to look.

Chen Guochang had a dark expression on his face.

"Huh? Dad, what did you just say?"

Chen Jianji then came to his senses.

"What, do you know them?"

Chen Jianji grinned, reacting quickly.

"No, it's just that I don't think I've seen these uncle and aunt in the village before, so I'm a little curious."

"What are you curious about? Hurry up and deliver the food!"

Chen Guochang kicked him.

It just so happened that it hit his twisted ankle.

"Ouch!"

Chen Jianji almost fell.

Fortunately.

A figure quickly stepped forward and caught him.

Chen Jianji looked up.

It's Lin Xinrong.

Too...

His father-in-law, whom he called "Dad" for several years in his previous life.

"This child is so mischievous, thank you so much."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Chen Guochang stepped forward and helped him stand up straight.

"Why are you so distracted? Or is your foot injured? You're usually not this fragile."

Before Chen Jianji could stop him.

Chen Guochang had already squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs.

A swollen ankle, still slightly red, came into view.

"What happened? Why are your feet swollen?"

Chen Jianji scratched his head: "It's nothing, I just accidentally injured myself while playing ball."

"Did you apply liniment?"

"No, but I used a better ointment; it's in my bag."

"You sit here, I'll go get it."

"Why...."

Chen Jianji raised his hand as if to refuse.

But Chen Guochang had already gotten up and left.

He had no choice but to sit upright in his seat, behaving himself properly.

After all, he was sitting with his parents-in-law from his previous life.

The two elderly people have always treated him as their own son.

Sometimes I treat him even better than I treat Lin Qingxue!

At this moment, Chen Jianji also felt inexplicably awkward.

He remembered that in his previous life, these two had never visited his home at this time.

Why are you here today, and only as a temporary worker?!

"Hey young man, judging from your school uniform, are you also from the county's experimental high school?"

Suddenly, Feng Qian asked from the side.

Lin Xinrong, who was not good with words, also looked over.

Chen Jianji met the eyes of the two men.

Looking at their faces, which had become much younger.

Chen Jianji gradually adjusted his mindset and nodded.

"Yeah, I just got back from school not long ago."

Lin Xinrong, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked.

"Young man, do you know what fees your school requires to be paid recently?"

Chen Jianji was taken aback.

I didn't immediately understand why he asked that question.

But he soon understood.

It's possible that Lin Qingxue's family found out about her tutoring job.

What should he say?

They said they went to help Li Wenyan save up for living expenses?

Seeing Chen Jianji remain silent.

Feng Qian helped explain.

"My child also studies at this high school. She seems to be a little short of money lately, so we thought we'd do some odd jobs."

"It just so happens that your dad's job here isn't too demanding, the pay is good, and meals are included, so we came here."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji suddenly remembered.

Lin Xinrong was a construction worker a few years ago. He injured his back and was recuperating at home. He should have just recovered from his back injury recently.

After recovering, he found a job as a migrant worker on a construction site, but an accident happened there...

I thought about what would happen next.

Chen Jianji remained silent for a long time.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should intervene.

But the butterfly had already quietly flapped its wings.

Lin Qingxue, who had stopped tutoring in her senior year of high school, went back to tutoring.

Lin Xinrong, who was originally recuperating at home, also brought Feng Qian to work at her family's chicken farm.

After a long while.

Chen Jianji looked up at the two elders with simple, even somewhat naive, faces.

He spoke softly, with a tone of comfort.

"Maybe it's because he's about to take the college entrance exam and is worried about the cost of tuition and living expenses."

"But there's nothing to worry about. Good universities offer plenty of scholarships, enough to cover expenses."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"By the way, the Century New City housing development in the county town is under construction and recruiting workers. There are safety hazards at that construction site, so you shouldn't consider applying there in the future."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Xinrong and Feng Qian exchanged a glance, just as they were about to say something.

A shout came from inside the house.

"Hey kid, where's your backpack? I've been looking for it for ages!"

This gave Chan Kin-kei an excuse to get away.

He slowly stood up.

"Oh, I'll get it. It's under the sofa!"

"What are you trying to hide now?!"

"No, Zhang Xinyi threw it on purpose. Go ahead and yell at her!"

...

The two watched as Chen Jianji limped into the house.

Feng Qian couldn't help but nudge Lin Xinrong.
