Chapter 207 Return to South City
Chapter 207 Return to South City
One time when he went to the bookstore to find her, he saw her climbing very high to organize the books, and she was very steady.
Chen Xia observed all of these interactions.
In their family, the mother-in-law's words definitely carried more weight than the father-in-law's.
The younger sister was indeed more favored by their parents.
Daughters, whom they call "money-losing goods," can actually be loved by their parents.
……
The year passed quickly, and Lin Ping only had about twenty days of vacation in total, which, after deducting travel time, amounted to just over ten days.
Lin Ping and Lin Yuyao bid farewell to their families and embarked on their journey back to Nancheng.
Ye Lian insisted on taking them to the airport, saying that she had never seen an airplane before and wanted to take the opportunity to see how big it was.
Upon arriving at the airport, she repeatedly reminded them, "Remember to be careful, it's so far away."
"understood."
"Also, when you live away from home, you must be kind to others and avoid conflicts, especially with locals. If things really get out of hand, a whole bunch of their relatives could drown you with just a spit from each of them."
"Mom, I understand, please stop nagging."
Ye Lian glared at Lin Ping, thinking that if she hadn't seen him go out today, she would have given him a good whack on the head.
They even complained that she was long-winded.
She then turned to her daughter and said, "Yuyao, have you remembered this?"
"Don't worry, Mother, I remember everything you said."
"Okay, just remember. If you do, give me a call to let us know you're safe. I'll be waiting at the brigade leader's house."
"Okay." Lin Yuyao agreed, and then said, "Mother, you must remember, you can't let my eldest brother go to work in the coal mine again."
"I know, you've said that so many times."
“Tell me if you have any difficulties at home. I’ve saved up some money, and it will definitely be enough to solve the problem. Brother, you absolutely cannot go to the mine.”
"Alright, alright, look at you. Lin Ping said I was long-winded, but you're even more long-winded than me. You've been talking about this since last year. Don't worry, he's already resigned, he definitely won't go."
It wasn't that Lin Yuyao was being long-winded; she was genuinely afraid.
I'm afraid that fate might take a turn for the worse for some reason.
Seeing that she was getting a little impatient, Lin Yuyao stopped talking.
Airplanes are much faster; what takes three days by train only takes a few hours by plane.
Lin Ping fell asleep as soon as he boarded the plane, and by the time he woke up, the plane had already landed.
"This is so comfortable, it saves me so much suffering. Thank you so much, sis."
A plane ticket costs over a hundred dollars, which is not cheap.
At this point, Lin Ping didn't even dare to dream of it; he couldn't possibly afford a plane ticket.
"No need for thanks. You said you'd carry your own luggage."
Lin Ping laughed and said, "Of course, I can carry you along with all my luggage, let alone my luggage."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"You're always so frivolous and joking around. I wonder who will be able to take you in the future. Hurry up, we're getting off the plane, we still need to get our luggage."
"Hey."
He had agreed to carry all the luggage, but since there was no carrying pole, he struggled to carry two large bags behind Lin Yuyao.
Lin Yuyao walked ahead, carrying a small bag, searching for Fu Huaiyi's figure.
Lin Ping looked as disheveled as a porter carrying bags.
Yeah, he's just a porter.
"Hey, you're really leaving me to carry this alone?"
"Hey, slow down."
Lin Yuyao had already seen Fu Huaiyi, who was standing next to a car waving at her.
Upon seeing her, Fu Huaiyi ran towards her.
Lin Yuyao quickened her pace.
The two jogged toward each other.
Lin Yuyao stopped three meters away.
Fu Huaiyi was somewhat disappointed, thinking she would pounce on him directly.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and strode towards her again.
"Welcome back."
He held out his hand.
Then the two shook hands awkwardly yet politely, distantly yet with a hint of ambiguity.
Once they hold hands, they can't be separated.
Lin Ping dragged over two large bags of luggage, looking distressed, and said, "Hey, can you two go back and... shake hands? Someone help me out."
The two came to their senses.
Fu Huaiyi took a bag of luggage, weighed it in his hand, and glanced at Lin Ping.
"Brother, you're not very good at this. You can't even lift it."
Lin Ping: "I'm carrying one bag in each hand, so it's not easy to put weight on them."
Lin Yuyao: "If it's not going to work, it's not going to work. What excuses are you making? You didn't say that when we got off the plane. You said you could carry me with you."
After saying that, he slung the other bag over his shoulder.
Lin Ping: "..."
If you can do it, then you guys can do it.
You two can gang up on me.
We stuffed two large bags of luggage into the trunk and drove back to Chenshan Town together.
The first thing I did was go downstairs to the phone booth and call home.
My parents said they would wait for me at the brigade leader's house.
They only went upstairs after I let them know I was safe.
Lin Ping won't be back at school until tomorrow, so he'll have to stay downstairs tonight and squeeze in with Fu Huaiyi for the night.
Fu Huaiyi didn't want to smell his stinky feet anymore, so he said, "You can stay here. I have to go back to my uncle's house tonight. My parents and my grandfather have come to celebrate the New Year. They're leaving in a few days."
"Of course, I should spend more time with my family," Lin Yuyao said.
Fu Huaiyi looked at her, wanting to tell her about going public.
However, with Lin Ping present, he was too embarrassed to say it aloud.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Lin Ping and said, "Why don't you take the things downstairs first?"
Lin Ping: "Why should I send the things downstairs? I can just come up and pick them up tomorrow. It's too much trouble to carry them around."
Fu Huaiyi: "..." It seems so.
"You've traveled for so long, you must be tired. Why don't you go down and take a nap?"
"I'm not sleepy. I fell asleep as soon as I boarded the plane and only woke up after it landed. I'm very energetic right now."
Fu Huaiyi was speechless.
Lin Yuyao realized that Fu Huaiyi seemed to have something to say to her alone, so she tried to get Lin Ping away.
He couldn't get away, so she stepped in.
He took out ten yuan and handed it to Lin Ping, saying, "Go buy some groceries so we can cook later."
Lin Ping: "We brought a lot of food, so let's take it out and eat it, just be careful not to let it spoil."
After saying that, he squatted down and took out the things his parents had insisted on giving them from the bag, one by one.
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched, and she said, "Pickled vegetables and meat won't do. We need some fresh vegetables. Go and buy some fresh vegetables, a bag of rice, and a can of oil."
Lin Ping paused for a moment, then turned his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them.
Lin Yuyao: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Ping: "Are you two trying to get rid of me?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"If you don't want to go, then I will."
Fu Huaiyi: "I'll go too."
"Hey, no, it's too inconvenient for you to go out. You can have the room, I'll go, I'll go."
He took the money, put on his coat, and hurriedly went out.
After leaving the house, he poked his head back out at the doorway and asked, "How long will it take? Is half an hour enough?"
Lin Yuyao: "..." What is this brat saying?
Fu Huaiyi: "Come back in two hours."
Lin Yuyao: "..." What nonsense are you talking about now?
