Chapter 248 Going home on winter break
Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
It went without saying Lin Qing Heâs was warm as well. The quilt for her and her eldest son was prepared a long time ago, so naturally, they wonât get cold.
This time Zhou Kai sent silky chicken soup.
It was also deliciously stewed. Lin Qing He asked after drinking it, "Will it be too troublesome for your classmateâs mother?"
"No, Aunt Weng is nice. When I went there last time, she latched on to me. She knew that I hadnât eaten yet and made me a bowl of noodles." Zhou Kai said.
Thatâs why he likes going to his classmateâs house. He wasnât young and stupid. When going over, he would occasionally bring a fish over.
"Last time Aunt Weng came to the school to send something to Weng Guo Liang. She had mentioned that she wanted to meet you, Mother, the one who taught me into such an outstanding son." Zhou Kai smiled.
Lin Qing He thought, âit canât be what I think it is, right?â
She asked: "When did this happen?"
"When you went to Hai City the previous time to participate in the exchange meeting." Zhou Kai smilingly answered.
"I brought back a scarf last time. Itâs especially suitable for our age. If you have time to drop by, bring it to her. Just say that Mother brought it back from Hai City and hope she wonât dislike it. "Lin Qing He instructed.
Then she went to the dorm and actually took a scarf out of the space. It was very trendy.
"Mother, itâs pretty. You can keep it for yourself." Zhou Kai said.
She couldnât appreciate this vibrant red style. Lin Qing He felt that she might as well knit a scarf by herself.
"To always trouble her to stew something for me. I got nothing much to give. What Iâm gifting is more or less my thoughts. Your classmateâs family is nice." Lin Qing He said.
As for whether everyone has fate in the future, wait and see. It was too early to reach that point now, so letâs leave it aside.
Mother Weng received this scarf.
Got to say, she really liked it. Especially since she long wanted to change the scarf she had worn for many years. It was only thoughts.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Kaiâs mother gave her such a gift.
"Childâs dad, do you think I should accept this?" Mother Weng said.
Father Weng can tell she loved it, so he said, "Accept it. When Zhou Kai comes over, you can just cook him two more hearty meals."
"My, I canât really." Mother Weng smiled.
"Arenât you thinking of raising Zhou Kai as a son-in-law. Your future in-law family is giving you a scarf. What is there to be shy about?" Father Weng teased.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mother Weng lightly slapped him with a grin, but replied: "From what I see, she shouldnât be difficult to get along with."
"Itâs great that youâre reassured. With her academic qualifications, she wonât be one to be unreasonable." Father Weng said as he thought, âwife, you should be worried about whether Zhou Kai and our daughter can get togetherâ. From what he observed, both people had had no such thoughts. It was a normal classmate relationship.
Still, he didnât tell his wife. Woman, they always like dreaming.
After Lin Qing He gave a scarf, she stopped paying any heed. Later, she heard from her eldest son that he was treated to two big feasts when going over.
After entering December, the weather was really freezing. Especially the dormitory. There were no heater items.
The most they could do was drink hot water. However, if one drinks too much, they have to go to the toilet.
Even Lin Qing He couldnât bear the cold. She basically stayed in bed. Not getting out of bed at all.
Now there were only five people left in the dorm. Chen Xue moved out. Because the dormitory could not accommodate her. she willfully moved out after a few days of rest.
Lin Qing He didnât have much interest in these matters. Winter vacation was in one week. She wished to go back as soon as possible.
Even if it takes a few daysâ journey on the road, it didnât matter. Once she was back, she can stay until the tenth day of January!
College began again on the tenth day of January of next year.
It can be said that it is becoming more and more standardized. The credit system had been enforced.
The school encouraged everyone to stay and continue to study because this opportunity was really rare.
Lin Qing Heâs tutor was a middle-aged woman. She really hoped for Lin Qing He to stay because had high hope for Lin Qing He. She even mentioned to Lin Qing He about staying in university as a faculty member in the future.
Lin Qing He had given her answer. If she had the opportunity, she would.
Why wonât she stay? If she stays, she can completely solve the problem of household registration.
But regarding the matter of staying to study, Lin Qing He shook her head and refused: "My family is waiting. I told them I will go back."
"Then go back. Donât fall behind in English." Her tutor said.
"I definitely wonât." Lin Qing He nodded.
The tutor didnât say anything.
In mid-December, Lin Qing He led Zhou Kai onto the train.
The train took two days. But all the way to the village took about four days.
"Mother, we only have 25 days. The journey to and fro took up eight days. We can only stay at home for 17 days in total," Zhou Kai said.
"Even if we stay for one day, we have to go back and stay." Lin Qing He educated.
In fact, Zhou Kai was just saying. He wasnât against coming back. This was his hometown, so what was there to object to?
Besides, he slightly missed his father, his brothers, and grandparent.
Zhou Kai broke through 1.8 meters mark. He was almost 1.83 meters. Amazingly tall. Originally, Lin Qing He was a little worried, but in the second half of this year, her eldest sonâs growth was much slower.
So Lin Qing He felt that it was probably due to sudden rapid growth, it would slow down by itself afterward.
Once mother and son rushed back all the way from the capital to the county city, they were in great relief.
It was pretty late, already past seven oâclock in the evening. Still, the mother and son still planned to go home.
"Itâs so late. No need to hurry back. Stay one night before you decide." Zhou Xiao Mei disagreed.
"Stay... for one night." Su Da Lin urged as well.
"Not staying. There arenât many days in the winter vacation." Lin Qing He said. Then she handed a box of the capitalâs eight specialties and a Peking roast duck to Zhou Xiao Mei. "Alright. Weâre heading back now."
After borrowing Zhou Xiao Meiâs bicycle, the mother and son returned home.
"That Fourth Sister-in-law. To come such a long way and still bring these things back." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.
"She...she misses you." Su Da Lin smiled.
Zhou Xiao Mei grinned and then took the nationally famous Peking duck and the capitalâs eight pieces back to the room. She sent half of them to Su Da Linâs uncleâs side. More or less their thought. And giving them a taste.
When Lin Qing He and Zhou Kai got home, the family was about to go to bed.
Right then, they couldnât sleep at all.
"Er Wa, hurry up and boil a bath for Mother. I, your Mother, canât stand it." Lin Qing He called out as soon as she reached home.
She wonât be able to sleep without a wash tonight!
