Chapter 41 Meeting the Parents
June is the graduation season. Those who should have secured a job have already done so by now. Those who haven’t secured a job yet most likely have other plans.

Chen Jin received a reminder from Lin Xinran that he would have to return to school next week to attend a class meeting to discuss the time for the graduation thesis defense and the time for taking graduation photos.

Ever since they went shopping together last time, Yang Qian often called Chen Jin to ask her out. On the surface, she wanted to go shopping and eat with her, but in reality, she wanted Chen Jin to help her find out where her paper needed to be revised. Chen Jin was fooled once, and no matter how Yang Qian asked him out, he always said he was busy collecting rent.

She didn't lie. Everyone at home was busy, so she had to go to Jinxiu Community from time to time. Originally, her third cousin should have gone, but he was traveling around the province, so it was not easy to find him. However, he knew something and called home every day to report that he was safe.

When these three grown men go out, they mostly go to cities and famous scenic spots. Their families don't worry that they will be cheated, but they are only worried that they will be robbed when they go out and take a car.

Going out now is quite risky. Some people specifically wait on a certain section of the road to steal things from trains. Those who do reselling business have encountered this a lot. Some people are unlucky. They spend all their family savings to buy goods, but they encounter a robbery. Everything they do is in vain. Not only do they lose money, but they may even owe money. Although flying is expensive, it is much safer than taking the train.

But maybe the third cousin only reported good news and not bad news. Every time he called back, he said that everything was fine and he had never encountered any train hijacking. But he was out there, so even if we didn't believe it, we couldn't confirm it.

Chen Jin felt that her third cousin's travel agency was only good enough for the attractions within Rong City, and it was too risky to go outside.

In addition to preparing for the graduation thesis defense and monitoring the progress of the renovation of Jinxiu Community, there are many other things to do this month.

Chen Jin hasn't been to Qiaoxi Village recently, but his third uncle asked someone to calculate a good day for him. He plans to go back on June 5 to set off a few firecrackers and buy some candies and biscuits to distribute to the villagers. He doesn't plan to have a new house wine party.

My uncle didn't have time to go. Last time Chen Jin reminded him that my aunt was not feeling well, my uncle had to coax and trick her into taking her to the hospital for a check-up. They found out she had appendicitis. They had originally said they would not perform surgery, but the disease recurred two days ago and was much more serious than the last time Chen Jin saw it. So she was scheduled for surgery yesterday.

Chen Jin was packing his things, preparing to go out to the Medical University Affiliated Hospital to visit his aunt.

I didn’t know what someone who had just undergone appendectomy could eat, so I hesitated for a long time and finally bought an all-purpose fruit basket.

When driving past the west gate, I saw Shen Baichuan walking out of the school gate. Shen Baichuan also smiled at her, but as soon as she saw it, the car drove past, and Chen Jin didn't have time to respond.

Then don't respond.

When Chen Jin came over with the fruit basket, his cousin's wife was sitting on a chair in the corridor at the door.

Seeing her coming, the eldest cousin's wife quickly stood up to greet her, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see my aunt, is everything alright?" I looked inside and saw that my aunt was sleeping. This ward was a double ward, and the other bed was not occupied for the time being, so the ward was relatively quiet.
