Chapter 254 Goodbye Qianyun
"Jianlong, wake up quickly, I'm sending Brother Lin back." Zheng Xueming was also a little drunk, but Lin Ran stopped him from waking up Yang Jianlong.
"Brother Zheng, Jianlong has worked hard during this period. Let him have a good rest." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Anyway, there are many cars at the gate of Wangjing City. I will just take a taxi back."
It is not suitable to drive even if you are drunk. The housekeeper who could have driven has also taken leave today.
After some consideration, Zheng Xueming agreed to Lin Ran's request and planned to give him money for a taxi, but Lin Ran naturally refused.
"No, thanks for the hospitality, Brother Zheng. I'll go back after the meeting." Lin Ran stood up and said goodbye.
Brother Zheng Xueming sent him to the door and no longer forced him to stay.
Lin Ran walked under the sycamore forest and walked towards the gate of Wangjing City.
He was looking forward to whether he would meet that girl again.
Maybe I was thinking about it, but I actually heard that familiar voice!
"Lin Ran?"
Looking back, it was Yuan Qianyun with long hair and dignified manner.
Lin Ran caught the flash of surprise on Yuan Qianyun's face, but then, she pretended to lean in as if nothing had happened.
"Are you coming to Yang Jianlong's house for dinner again today?"
"I didn't expect to see you again."
After finishing speaking, neither of them spoke, and just walked towards the door silently.
"Where are you going?" Lin Ran asked suddenly. He discovered that the direction they were going was not Yuan Qianyun's house.
"I'm just going out for a walk. Why, don't you want to relax with me?" Yuan Qianyun asked with a smile.
"How could that be?" Lin Ran waved his hands quickly, "I'm just worried that you're going in the wrong direction."
Yuan Qianyun approached Lin Ran, then took a sniff and said, "You smell so strong of alcohol. Do you usually like drinking?"
"No, I only drink when I have something happy to do. I don't usually drink." Lin Ran explained.
The two of them slowed down unknowingly.
Perhaps because of the close proximity, the girl's unique body fragrance made Lin Ran a little intoxicated by the alcohol.
"Is there anything happy? Tell me?" Yuan Qianyun asked, blinking his eyes. When he looked at Lin Ran, there seemed to be light spots inside.
As the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, life is very boring. People are watching her when she goes out. She can buy whatever she wants at any time, and there are many rules and regulations. Only in Wangjing City can she move freely without surveillance.
She often felt that life was boring. In fact, she would pass by Yang Jianlong's house at this time every day, imagining that Lin Ran would appear.
I didn’t expect to be touched by her today!
Regarding Yuan Qianyun, Lin Ran naturally had nothing to hide.
He told Zheng Xuetao that he had asked him to go to Cangzhou to identify cultural relics yesterday, but he concealed the matter of tomb robbing.
There is no need for such a simple girl to know that the world is sinister.
"Lin Ran, how come you know so much about history and cultural relics?" After listening to Lin Ran's story, she also felt a little overwhelmed.
Thinking back to when Lin Ran helped him choose the Buddha statue, his eyes were filled with admiration for this man who was full of mysteries!
"When I have nothing to do, I like to read books. I learned these things from books." Lin Ran replied with a smile.
"My brother also likes reading, but I never see what he understands?" Yuan Qianyun muttered in a low voice.
It is impossible to improve your taste level just by reading.
Lin Ran's level of taste and history are the result of his decades of experience working in the National Museum. The treasures he has handled, the books he has read, and the people he has met are all far beyond his current level.
However, if you say this, will the other party believe it?
The two continued walking for a while, and couldn't help but already arrived at the gate of Wangjing City.
"I'm going back. Let's meet again next time if we have a chance." Lin Ran was a little reluctant and said goodbye to Yuan Qianyun in a low voice.
"What? Won't Yang Jianlong see you off?" Yuan Qianyun was a little surprised, thinking that Yang Jianlong was waiting at the door.
"He's already drunk. It doesn't matter. I'll just take a rickshaw back."
"But, Xialin Village is so far away, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sit there?"
"It's not a big problem, I'm used to it." Lin Ran stopped a rickshaw at the door, stepped on it, and waved goodbye to her.
After watching the rickshaw disappear, Yuan Qianyun reluctantly turned around and left, his pretty face blushing with embarrassment.
……
Lin Ran took a nap in the car and woke up already at the entrance of the village.
"Xiao Ran, why do you come back smelling like alcohol again?" Lin Wanjun was washing vegetables next to the well water, so she didn't slap her nose.
Father Lin just walked out of the room and saw Lin Ran's face was flushed and there was a strong smell of alcohol.
She couldn't help but frown slightly and said distressedly: "Xiao Ran, don't always drink so much outside."
Recently, Lin Ran came home drunk too often.
But Father Lin also knows that drinking is a common social activity when working outside.
Although I don’t know the specific work content of my son, judging from the people he knows, they are all big bosses.
Drinking must be inevitable, and there was nothing he could do to stop his son from drinking.
Lin Ran waved his hand, but due to the bumpy journey back and the alcohol, he was indeed a little dizzy.
He sat on the table in the living room, resting his forehead on his hands, waiting for himself to recover.
At this time, I smelled a strong smell of tea.
"Xiao Ran, drink some tea to relieve the hangover." Lin's father helped Lin Ran make tea and placed it in front of him.
Lin Ran couldn't help but feel extremely touched in his heart.
In his previous life, he was so drunk that no one cared about him until he woke up.
Drinking has long become an escape habit for him.
But after he came back, he only drank for fun every time, and he could also drink tea made by his father himself.
Ignoring the heat, I blew lightly and then took a sip of tea.
Afterwards, I felt hot sweat oozing out from my head, and my spirits improved a lot.
"Thank you, Dad." Lin Ran smiled.
"Not only are you drunk, you also have heatstroke. Let dad pinch you." After saying that, Father Lin pinched his fingers and scratched Lin Ran's body.
"Ouch!"
Lin Ran had almost forgotten this unsophisticated method. When he suffered from heat stroke when he was a child, his parents would pinch his skin so hard that his body would become bruised and purple. Then he would sweat and the heat stroke would gradually recover.
Lin Ran's painful memory of being pinched was awakened, and he quickly said: "Dad, my heatstroke is better. Look, I'm sweating."
Lin Ran wiped his sweat and showed it to Father Lin.
"That's good." Lin's father looked at Lin Ran doubtfully, he hadn't made a move yet.
"Xiaoran is scared of being pinched by you." Lin Wanjun smiled.
"It doesn't look like heatstroke. It's just that I drank too much wine. I'll be fine if I sweat a little." Mother Lin came up with the food.
He also prepared a bowl and chopsticks for Lin Ran.
"I've eaten."
"It's okay. How come we don't have a bowl for you at home? Just eat some food. If it doesn't work, just watch from the side." Mother Lin handed the bowl to Lin Ran without any explanation.
Lin Ran was filled with emotion.
This is the sense of belonging he is looking for!
At the dinner table at home, Lin Ran is the real junior.
There was no flattery, no flattery, and no exchange of business knowledge, only family members’ advice and care, and a lot of fireworks.
"Xiao Ran, are you going to Shaanxi in two days?" After chatting for a while, Mother Lin suddenly asked about it.
In the past five days, he had read all of Lu Yingjie's notes and the tomb chapter of Lubanshu, and he was full of confidence in the Tang Tomb he was about to go to.
Lin Ran nodded: "Yes, I will pack my things tomorrow and I will leave early the day after tomorrow."
The family showed reluctance.
"When you go to Shaanxi for business, don't get so drunk. The public security outside is not as good as Xialin Village." Father Lin said seriously.
Only he will take care of himself outside, and it is important to keep a clear mind.
Lin Ran nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I don't drink outside."
"That's good." The family finally felt relieved.
When it was time to meet at Yanziwu Alley, Lin Ran took inventory of his equipment.
A crutch key made of steel bars, and some accompanying clothes.
This is all his belongings. In addition, he prepares 50 yuan and a compass. If he gets separated from Liu Jingfeng and the others, this money will be the guarantee for him to return home.
As for Lu Yingjie's notes and Lu Ban's books, they are extremely precious things.
He just wrote down the contents related to Tang Ling in a notebook and put it in his accompanying bag.
That night, the family killed another chicken, and the dinner was extremely rich.
But there was no trace of joy on the faces of the family members. They all felt sad that they were about to travel far away.
But when children grow up, they will eventually have to go out and have a try.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "Mom, Dad, sister, it's not like I'm leaving and never coming back. I'll be back in a few days. Please be happy, everyone."
With his comfort, the family members managed to smile.
Early the next morning, Lin Ran got up and found that breakfast had been prepared.
This is the practice banquet at home. Although it is simple, it is full of warmth.
After breakfast, Lin Ran came to the entrance of the village, hailed a rickshaw and headed to Yanziwu Hutong!
