Chapter 259 Graduation
In July, a typhoon hit Pengcheng again, with lightning and thunder, as if an immortal was transcending a calamity there.
On a rainy day, the family of four didn't go anywhere and stayed at home obediently.
Lin Ting and Wang Xiuren, father-in-law and son-in-law, were staring at the news on TV. Zhou Qing and Lin Qiu, mother and daughter, were looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony at the trees in the community that were blown to and fro by the wind, and they looked worriedly.
"Qiuqiu, can we get to the capital tomorrow in this weather?" Zhou Qing felt uneasy.
In such weather, the plane probably can't fly.
Lin Qiu couldn't say for sure, "Let's see what the situation is tomorrow. If it doesn't work, there's nothing we can do."
"How about I buy the train ticket now? First take the train to Wuhan, and then transfer to Beijing from Wuhan?" Wang Xiuren asked, turning his head.
In his opinion, his daughter's graduation ceremony was a big event and he didn't want to miss it.
Lin Ting was also worried, "I'm just hoping that tomorrow will be a good day, and I hope God will take care of us."
The family of four were looking forward to the weather clearing up so that they could attend Wang Shan's graduation ceremony.
It was not until the evening that the rain finally stopped and the family finally felt relieved.
"It seems that this typhoon is not serious." Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. "If we can't make it, I don't know how disappointed Shanshan will be."
"Yes, if I can't see her graduation ceremony, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Wang Xiuren looked at the sky outside and patted his chest with lingering fear.
The next day, the sky was clear.
The family boarded the plane as they wished.
When I left the airport, I found that the weather in the capital and Shenzhen was completely different and very dry.
Wang Shan has been very busy recently, with graduation and an art exhibition. Lin Qiu and the other three didn't want to disturb her, so they found a hotel and settled down there. They also went to the capital's night market in the evening.
The next day, the family of four got up early and put on new clothes. The two female colleagues not only put on jewelry, but also put on beautiful makeup.
"You're already old, but you still paint like a fairy." Lin Ting couldn't bear to see his wife being so conceited, but he still held Zhou Qing's hand and held his head high when he went out.
"Look at my dad. He's obviously very happy, but he's very harsh with his mouth." Lin Qiu pointed forward and motioned Wang Xiuren to look forward.
Wang Xiuren put her hand on his arm and said with a smile: "Why should I look at my father-in-law? Just look at you. You are dressed so beautifully today, you have to keep a close eye on me."
"Smooth talk!" Lin Qiu rolled his eyes at him, but felt sweet in his heart.
Arriving downstairs at Building 8 of Bauhinia Apartment, Lin Qiu called Wang Shan.
After receiving the call, Wang Shan trotted downstairs.
Seeing the family downstairs, he was so surprised: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Qiu stepped forward and took her hand. "Aren't you busy? We thought we wouldn't disturb you. Are you done?"
"It's still early!" Wang Shan couldn't help but sigh as she thought about the many things she hadn't done yet. "It's too much trouble to hold an art exhibition."
"Take your time." Lin Qiu patted her shoulder, "Go change your clothes quickly. Don't you have to go on stage and give a speech later?"
"ah!"
Wang Shan looked at her pajamas and ran upstairs screaming again.
After packing up and going downstairs, Lin Qiu looked at his graceful daughter and couldn't help but pull Wen up and said, "My daughter has grown up."
Wang Xiuren looked at his flower-like daughter and praised her profusely, making Wang Shan blush.
When walking to the playground, Wang Shan spontaneously walked between her mother and grandmother, holding one of them in each hand.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were chattering away.
From time to time, classmates greeted her on the road, and she responded gracefully. It can be seen that she is quite popular.
Tsinghua University's graduation ceremony is relatively simple, with the highlights being honorary awards, the president's speech and speeches by student representatives.
A family of four stood under the shade of a tree and watched the ceremony on the playground intently.
When he heard Wang Shan's name, Lin Qiu immediately raised his camera, calmed down his anxiety, and kept pressing the shutter button towards his daughter on the stage.
After the graduation ceremony, Wang Shan, wearing the purple bachelor's gown of Tsinghua University, walked in front of her family holding her graduation certificate and honorary awards.
"Congratulations on your graduation, my daughter." Lin Qiu handed a bouquet of sunflowers to his daughter's arms.
Zhou Qing also handed a bunch of crushed ice blue to her granddaughter, "Happy graduation, Shanshan!"
Wang Shan held the flowers and said, "Thank you, Mom, Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma."
Wang Xiuren took the graduation certificate and commendation certificate from his daughter and examined them carefully together with his father-in-law, with a look of pride on his face.
"Hurry up and pose for the photo!" Lin Qiu instructed his daughter to stand under the shade of the tree.
Wang Shan was very cooperative.
Then the family members took photos with Wang Shan one by one.
Lin Qiu also asked classmates passing by to help take two family photos.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, I can't have dinner with you later." Wang Shan looked at the group message on her phone and looked at her family with some regret.
"Are you busy? Then get down to business." Lin Ting waved his hand.
"No, my classmates said they wanted to have a farewell dinner together." Wang Shan didn't know how to refuse.
Although Lin Qiu had never experienced this, he understood: "Let's go eat with our classmates! Get together as much as possible now. It may not be so easy to meet again in the future."
Wang Shan didn't react for a while. Communication methods are so advanced nowadays, how could it be so difficult to meet?
But when I think back, we all came from all over the world to Tsinghua University, and after graduation we all went our separate ways. So, saying goodbye is not that easy.
A hint of sadness emerged on Wang Shan's face. After four years of living together day and night, they were about to go their separate ways.
It makes me feel a little uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Wang Xiuren patted her shoulder and said, "Go and say goodbye to your classmates. We have plenty of time to have a meal together. But remember not to drink."
Wang Shan nodded in assurance, then left with her classmates.
The family of four came here just to witness Wang Shan's college graduation, so after Wang Shan left, the four of them strolled around the school on their own.
After wandering around for the whole day, no one disturbed Wang Shan's class reunion.
The next day, the four of them went to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and then went to help Wang Shan pack her luggage.
During graduation season, many parents on campus help their children carry their luggage.
Parents can enter the dormitory at this time.
The four of them found Room 409, and Lin Qiu knocked on the door: "Is Wang Shan here?"
Wang Shan heard her mother's voice and quickly ran over to open the door: "Why are you all here?"
Then he quickly called for help.
"This bag contains sundries to be sold. This box contains books and picture albums to be sent back." Wang Shan said, pointing to the packed luggage.
"Where are these bags?" Wang Xiuren asked.
"Send it to the graduate student dormitory. I asked the teacher for the key, and the quilts and other things can be moved there directly." Wang Shan took out the key from her bag.
Wang Shan will have to stay on this campus for another two or three years. She has already been admitted to the school's graduate program.
"Okay then. You take your father to sell the things that need to be sold first. I'll check the things here and then go to the graduate building to clean it up and move over there." Lin Qiu made arrangements directly.
"good."
