Chapter 302: Extra 18 (Little Moon's Chronicles)

At Pengcheng University, a girl wearing a white T-shirt and a blue denim overalls skirt, carrying a schoolbag, was walking slowly under the shade of a tree.

She held a tea of ​​milk in one hand and held a mobile phone in the other to video chat with someone. From time to time, she would put the milk tea to her mouth and take two big sips while talking.

As they were almost at the school gate, the milk tea was almost gone. The girl found a trash can, threw the milk tea box in, and said to her phone, "Grandma, I'm going to book a ride. Let's talk when I get back!"

After Xiaoyueliang hung up the phone, she opened the travel app, booked a car, and found a shady place at the school gate to wait.

She went to university in September this year, in Pengcheng, not far from home.

Although her college entrance examination score was a few points short of the top institutions, it was not a problem for her to go to other prestigious schools.

Her family originally thought that she would be eager to go to college in another place. After all, Wang Shan had been keeping a close eye on her since the incident in her third year of junior high school.

In the past three years, Wang Shan has turned down all art exhibitions and only works in her home studio on weekdays, taking care of her daughter's food, clothing, housing, transportation, physical and mental health.

All in all, it is more effort than Wang Shan put in when she was in high school.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Xiaoyueliang had no intention of going out of town at all.

In her words: "Why go out of town? Home is so comfortable! And I don't want to be too far away from my grandparents, parents and grandma."

Originally, everyone wanted to persuade her to think about it again for her future, but after hearing the second half of her words, they were just moved.

"Pengcheng University is great! The admission score is higher than the average 985 and 211 universities!"

“And it’s easy to find a job.”

"It's good to be near her home. We don't have to worry about her food, accommodation and safety if she's alone in another place."

…

Just like that, with the four elderly people at home talking to each other, Xiaoyue's wish was decided.

Pengcheng University allows day students to go to school. Xiaoyueliang’s father takes her to school in the morning. If she does not have evening self-study classes, she takes a taxi home. If she does have evening self-study classes, she waits for her father to pick her up.

Because she didn't live on campus, she wasn't very familiar with her classmates, but she wasn't very lonely either, because some of her classmates from Baoan Middle School also chose Pengcheng University.

Just as Xiaoyue was thinking, her cell phone rang.

I pressed the answer button and it turned out to be the online taxi driver who had arrived.

She held up her phone to look for the license plate. After finding it, she walked closer, opened the door, got in, checked the number with the driver, and then lowered her head to check her phone.

The distance between Xilong Bay and Shenzhen University is about 6 kilometers. In less than 20 minutes, the car drove downstairs.

When Wang Shan came out of the studio, she saw her daughter wearing a gaming uniform and lying on the sofa, watching videos with an opened bag of potato chips next to her.

I saw her giggling and stuffing potato chips into her mouth.

Yan's mother sat next to her and pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table towards her.

"Little Moon, don't just eat potato chips, eat some fruit."

Xiao Yueliang leaned forward and opened her mouth wide towards Yan's mother: "Ah... Grandma, feed me..."

Mother Yan didn't think her granddaughter was spoiled at all. She forked a piece of cantaloupe and put it to her mouth. "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet... nice..."

Little Moon was chewing honeydew melon and her words were a little unclear.

"It's sweet. I'll go to the supermarket and buy two more tomorrow." Seeing that she was eating so happily, Yan's mother forked another piece and passed it to her.

Wang Shan felt it was a bit embarrassing to watch. She was already an adult, but why was she becoming more and more spoiled?

"Mom, eat by yourself, don't spoil her all the time, she is not without hands, she is already so old."

Yan's mother replied cheerfully, "I was eating! I just fed her a piece."

Wang Shan did not argue with her mother-in-law, and instead asked, "Mom, Xiaoyue's grandmother invited us to a new restaurant outside for dinner. Please call Dad and tell him to change his clothes. We will meet downstairs in a while."

Mother Yan waved her hand and said, "Just take Xiaoyueliang with you. Your father and I won't go."

"Grandma, please go with us!" Xiaoyue hugged Yan's mother's arm and acted coquettishly.

"I'll go with you next time. Your grandfather and I are going to a banquet tonight. Your grandfather's old colleague is having a birthday today. I originally wanted to come over and prepare dinner for you before going, but now your mother-in-law is calling you, so I'll take a break today." Mother Yan patted her granddaughter's arm lovingly.

"Mom, how can you say that? We are the ones who are troubling you. You have been taking care of our lives for so many years. You have worked so hard." Wang Shan felt a little sorry for Yan's mother.

"Why are you so hard-working?" Yan's mother was very pleased to hear her daughter-in-law's words. "I'm retired and have nothing to do. You guys are very busy with work and study. I'm happy to take care of you."

Wang Shan couldn't help but hug Yan's mother gently, "Thank you, Mom. I'm very lucky to have a mother-in-law like you, who allows me to focus on my career without any worries."

Mother Yan also hugged her and said, "We are all family, no need to be so polite."

Little Moon rubbed her arms exaggeratedly, "Mom, grandma, you are so cheesy!"

Wang Shan and Yan's mother couldn't help but look at her together, so she could only smile at them ingratiatingly.

After changing their clothes, Wang Shan and her daughter first sent Yan's father and mother to the hotel where their colleagues were holding a wedding banquet, and then drove to pick up Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren.

"Mom, how is grandpa's health recently? Will he come back to Pengcheng after he goes back to his hometown this time?" Xiaoyue missed Lin Ting a little.

"The video I called him yesterday looked pretty good." Wang Shan replied, "It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots. Your great-grandfather's roots are in Hunan Province. He probably doesn't want to come back."

"Then won't grandpa and grandma have to go back to their hometown to take care of him?"

"It should be. After all, my great-grandfather is so old, and we should spend more time with him. We should go back to our hometown to visit him more often during the holidays."

"Okay, I want to go back home too."

"I'll take you back during the holidays."

…

Little Moon stared out the car window.

Pengcheng is still as prosperous as ever.

History books say that Pengcheng is a city that rose overnight. It was previously a poor fishing village, but it became a modern metropolis because of reform and opening up.

But in her impression and in her memory, the city has always been so prosperous.

The car stopped downstairs of Lin Qiu's house. When the mother and daughter were about to get out of the car, they saw Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren walking towards them.

The two don't look like they are over 70 at all, especially after dyeing their hair black, they look like they are in their early 60s.

The two of them probably wanted to go out for dinner, so they changed their clothes.

Wang Xiuren wore a white short shirt with black suit pants, and Lin Qiu wore a dark green silk dress. They held hands, fingers interlocked, and walked in the sunset, their outlines glowing with golden light.

Xiaoyue rolled down the car window, took out his cell phone and recorded this moment.

"This must be the legendary growing old together!" Little Moon thinks that her grandparents have a really good relationship.

"That's right!" Lin Qiu smiled and got out of the car to greet him.
