Chapter 35 Taking the Children Home



Xu Fuqiang and Xu Qingzhi sent the vegetables out via fresh food express, which will arrive tomorrow. They also received Kyoto roast duck sent by Zhiming's uncle.

By Friday, my grandfather was discharged from the hospital and returned home.

Wang Jinlan wanted to invite everyone to dinner, but Wang Yanmei refused because Xu Zijun had a day off and planned to take the child home to cook for the child herself, so she refused.

Wang Jinlan thought her sister was still angry about the money, so she apologized to Wang Yanmei in private, saying that she didn't want to do this, but it was Hongwei who instigated her and she was temporarily bewildered.

After all, they are two sisters who grew up together and blood is thicker than water.

Although there was some rift, it was not to the point of a breakup.

Wang Yanmei nodded slightly, and the anger in her heart was mostly gone. What else could she do? After all, she was her biological sister. -The bell rang for the end of the afternoon class.

A group of energetic students rushed out of the classroom with their schoolbags on their backs and went home happily.

At this time of year, the school gate is the most congested place.

The parking spaces on both sides of the road are filled with cars that come to pick up children from school.

Xu Zijun and Lin Kai's homes are not in the same place, but they have a good relationship, so they always make an appointment to leave the school together and then separate.

When they were almost at the school gate, Huang Daqiang came running over from somewhere and deliberately bumped into Xu Zijun's shoulder.

"The country folks are going to walk to the bus to save a dollar on bus fare."

He shouted so loudly and with such a mocking tone that it inevitably attracted the attention of people around him.

Lin Kai frowned and shouted, "Huang Daqiang, don't go too far."

"Where did I go too far? What? Poor people can't say anything?" Huang Daqiang chewed gum and grinned.

Suddenly, he stumbled, and fell flat on his face.

The accident happened so quickly that none of Huang Daqiang's younger brothers reacted.

After more people came over to look, they quickly helped Huang Daqiang up.

"Brother Daqiang, you have a nosebleed."

Huang Daqiang covered his nose, and a sticky liquid flowed onto his hands. He looked at the pairs of eyes around him staring at him, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, his face was hot, and he didn't even remember to cause trouble for Xu Zijun today, so he ran away in a hurry.

“Hahaha, this is karma.” Lin Kai almost got a stitch in his side laughing. “By the way, Zijun, my dad is here to pick me up today. I’ll ask him to take you to the turntable.”

"No need, I'll walk there, just to exercise." It's not that Xu Zijun is short of money, but it only takes half an hour to walk there, so a dollar saved is a dollar saved.

"Okay then." Lin Kai didn't force him. He looked towards the school gate to see where his father was, but he saw a familiar figure. He excitedly shook Xu Zijun's arm, "Hey, Zijun, your sister!"

Xu Zijun followed the direction Lin Kai was looking and looked over, and really saw his sister, and his parents.

Lin Kai excitedly pulled Xu Zijun over, and it seemed as if it was Lin Kai's family standing there.

"Sister, aunt, uncle, hello, I am Lin Kai, Zijun's classmate and roommate."

Wang Yanmei said enthusiastically: "Hello, Xiaokai, Auntie saw you last time. Thanks to you for taking care of our Zijun at school."

"It should be." Lin Kai took a close look at Xu Qingzhi, then shyly turned away and whispered in Xu Zijun's ear, "Your sister is even whiter and prettier in real life than on TV. Does she have a boyfriend? I asked you before, but you never told me."

Xu Zijun glanced at Lin Kai with disdain, and was furious in his heart: I treat you as a brother, and you want to be my brother-in-law! Impossible!

Wang Yanmei said with a smile: "Your grandpa has been discharged from the hospital, we have to go back. Your sister bought a car a few days ago, and she thought that you have a month-long holiday today, so it's just the right time to pick you up and go home together. Let's go."

The group walked along the long driveway, and Lin Kai happened to see his father waving at him.

Coincidentally, the Xu family's car was parked behind Lin Kai's father's car.

Xu Fuqiang and Lin Kai's father also knew each other. They had met in the dormitory before the start of the school term, so they asked each other to smoke a cigarette and started socializing as elders.

Lin Kai's father knew that the Xu family was not well off, but when he saw Xu Fuqiang wearing neat clothes and looking more energetic than many young men, he couldn't help but be polite: "Dad Xu, you look a lot younger than the last time I saw you. Did you take any good supplements?"

Xu Fuqiang thought he was just being polite and said with a smile, "I don't have the money to buy supplements, I just eat some normal home-cooked dishes."

When Lin Kai heard this, he immediately thought of cucumbers. He swallowed his saliva and said excitedly, "Dad, their cucumbers are especially delicious."

"If you like it, ask Zijun to bring you a few." Wang Yanmei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Kai was not polite. He would bring some delicious food from home for Xu Zijun. It would not be good to eat for free all the time, as that would be taking advantage of others.

After some conversation, the Xu family walked back and got into the car.

Lin Kai's father saw it and looked at his son, "Does their family drive a BMW?"

"It may be the money that Sister Zijun earned from acting."

Lin Kai's father shook his head, got in the car, and told his son: "Don't make enemies with Xu Zijun. Even though his sister is silent beside him, she is not someone to be trifled with. Dad has traveled all over the country for so many years, and he will never be wrong when judging people."

"Dad, don't worry, Zijun and I have a good relationship."

"There are other people. If you have good relationships with them, they will become your network resources when you enter society."

Lin Kai didn't want to hear these words, so he said perfunctorily: "I know, Dad."

The other side.

Xu Fuqiang drove happily towards home.

Wang Yanmei hadn't been home for more than half a month and was also very happy.

Xu Zijun sat on the left side at the back, feeling a little uneasy. Xu Qingzhi sat on the right side, leaning back and closing his eyes to rest.

The car was very quiet. Wang Yanmei couldn't sit still and always wanted to find someone to talk to. Seeing that her daughter was sleeping and her husband was driving, she could only care about her son who was at school.

"Zijun, when you go back to school on Sunday, ask your dad to pick some more cucumbers for you to take to school."

"Okay, Mom." Xu Zijun thought of the cucumber and added, "That cucumber is really delicious."

Xu Fuqiang said: "If you like it, Dad will drive over to bring it to you every week."

"No, it's too much trouble. I can just go home and eat something during my month-long vacation." Xu Zijun quickly waved his hand to refuse. Although the family had a car, it would take more than an hour to drive back and forth, and his father would be very tired.

Xu Qingzhi opened his eyes and said calmly, "Just give our dad a chance to practice driving. He has been worried about where to go after buying a car."

Xu Fuqiang's little thoughts were seen through by his daughter, who smiled and said, "Qing Zhi still understands me."
