Chapter 631: Airport Pickup II

From Yang Yin we learned that her brother is named Yang Dong, studying abroad and unmarried.

"Originally my brother wanted to return to the motherland after graduation, but those years were too chaotic, so my father didn't let him come back… I haven't seen my brother for many years; I don't know if I can still recognize him."

She is about to meet her elder brother, and Yang Yin's speech clearly shows she can hardly contain her excitement.

Lu Cheng rubs her head, saying nothing.

After so many years of not returning, this time Yang Yin's brother coming back is indeed quite sudden.

When he received his sister's letter, Yang Yin sent a transoceanic telegram saying he would return today.

The telegram was brief and did not mention the Induction Cooker sales channel, so Lu Cheng also doesn't know whether Yang Dong brought good news this time.

But an answer should come soon; after waiting about another twenty minutes, the arrival gate began to see passengers walk out one after another.

At a glance, most were carrying suitcases, and most had native faces, with a small portion of foreign faces—blond hair and blue eyes—standing out in the crowd.

In the 1980s Capital City, seeing foreigners was not at all rare; the greeters only gave a light glance, then looked among the exiting crowd for family members or friends.

Yang Yin also searched; even though she knows her brother must have changed, she still remembers his general appearance clearly.

The wave of people coming out showed no sign of him, making Yang Yin look very anxious.

Lu Cheng casually asked, "What does your brother look like? I can help you look."

Yang Yin, holding the bouquet, replied playfully, "Just a nose and two eyes."

Lu Cheng laughed, "Then he definitely isn't as handsome as me; otherwise I'd look for those who are ugly."

"Tsk, vain, you're the ugly one, you're the ugliest!"

Yang Yin glared, then said, "My brother is very handsome, tall, and he used to be skinny; I don't know if he's gotten fat now, but he is nearsighted, so he'll definitely wear glasses."

With those features, searching becomes much easier; the next wave of people can eliminate more than half right away.

Yet even after the second wave dispersed, they still hadn't found the Yang Dong who returned from America.

After asking the airport staff, there should be no more people; such international flights only happen once every many days, meaning today there is only this one flight.

Not having met her brother, Yang Yin looked clearly disappointed; the bouquet she had prepared now seemed no longer fresh.

Lu Cheng was fine; the Induction Cooker has now entered production, costing half the price of imported ones, so relying on the Railway department's overseas channels, he isn't worried about sales for now.

Watching Yang Yin lower her head to leave, Lu Cheng took a few steps to catch up and comforted her.

"He was probably delayed by something; the airport staff said there's another flight in half a month, so your brother is likely on that one. Waiting a few more days is fine."

The comfort didn't work much; Yang Yin looked at the bouquet in her arms: "The flowers cost so much; we can't use them next time."

Lu Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud; it turned out Yang Yin thought the bouquet was wasted.

Indeed in this era, who spends money on a bouquet? People would probably be laughed at by the whole neighborhood.

"Alright, how can it be wasteful? A person only lives a hundred years, so seeing flowers once more is just enjoying another gift of time."

Yang Yin finally lifted her head, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"Yo yo yo, that sounds poetic now; I feel you're not yourself—such a big thug has become refined. Say more in the future, I like listening…"

"Yin Yin…"

Suddenly a strange yet familiar shout came, Yang Yin turned to the arrival gate, froze for a second, then hurried toward the person.

"Brother…"

The tardily arriving person was indeed Yang Yin's brother, Yang Dong.

Like everyone else, he carried a suitcase; as Yang Yin described, Yang Dong was tall, wore thin‑framed glasses, and was very gentle and scholarly.

His attire, however, was especially eye‑catching: a white long‑sleeve shirt rolled up to his arms, white suit trousers, white leather shoes, and a white Western‑style hat.

This outfit drew the gazes of several female airport staff directly to him.

Lu Cheng looked at his own coarse work clothes and couldn't help regretting that he should have gone to the Friendship Store and gotten an international‑style outfit.

Now his look was a bit of a disgrace to the motherland, especially since he hadn't expected the other side to dress so flamboyantly.

Seeing his little sister, Yang Dong opened his arms happily, and Yang Yin threw herself into his embrace.

"Brother, I missed you so much."

After hugging for a while, Yang Dong pulled her away, pinched her nose: "Why are you still crying?"

"I missed you so much, I'm excited; why did you come out so late? I thought you wouldn't return."

"Haha, I was looking for a restroom earlier, that delayed me a bit, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Yang Dong's appearance was gentle and scholarly, and his voice was also very magnetic.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothing, horses on saddles; Lu Cheng, though confident his looks didn't lose to his counterpart, found his clothes truly fell short today.

Fortunately he had some bearing to match the other side.

Lu Cheng walked over, neither obsequious nor arrogant, and extended his hand: "Comrade Yang Dong, welcome back to the motherland; I represent the motherland in welcoming you."

As Yang Dong was momentarily stunned, Yang Yin hurriedly explained beside him: "Brother, this is Lu Cheng, the one I mentioned in my letter."

What Lu Cheng didn't know was that Yang Yin had also written in the letter that she is now dating Lu Cheng.

Looking at his little sister's intended, Yang Dong first sized him up; a fine‑looking, spirited person, and his first impression made him very satisfied with this future brother‑in‑law.

He knows his sister has been pampered since childhood, her temperament always proud; anyone who can attract her must have something extraordinary.

Yang Dong extended his hand: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

As Lu Cheng patted Yang Dong's hand, Yang Yin nudged him: "What are you doing, standing so straight, like a leader inspecting."

Lu Cheng whispered, "My back is my spine; I now represent the motherland, and the motherland's spine must never bend."

Yang Yin burst into a helpless laugh, gave Lu Cheng a twist: "Just be normal, this is my brother, not as formal as you think."

Lu Cheng laughed and said to Yang Dong, "Alright, since we're normal friends, I'll call you Brother Yang Dong."

Yang Yin was finally satisfied, and Yang Dong also smiled and nodded.

Since the guests had arrived, Lu Cheng helped his "big uncle" with the suitcase, about to exit the gate and board, when Yang Dong said:

"Mr. Lu, wait a little longer, a friend still needs to use the restroom."

Yang Yin suddenly became curious: "Brother, you also brought a friend? Who is it? Oh, I get it, could it be that you're dating abroad and brought back a foreign sister‑in‑law for me…"

Lu Cheng leaned in at that moment: "Foreign sister‑in‑law? If she wants to perform a kissing ceremony with me later, should I accept… Sss…"

Yang Yin twisted again: "You're so annoying."

Watching the two of them bantering like a couple, Yang Dong laughed.

"No, it's a foreign business partner; I specifically invited them for the Induction Cooker sales matter."
