Chapter 122 Sent by Tian Xiaobo
"No, no, I can just take the train back by myself. It would be too much trouble for you to come over."
If it weren’t for Siyu’s illness, Li Guixiang would have wanted to fly back home right now.
Lin Ziqiu asked: "Aren't Xueyuan and the others coming back? Are you coming back alone?"
Li Guixiang said earnestly, "Xueyuan meant that she and the two children would stay in the capital for the New Year. I will come back after the New Year. You also know that she has kept her transfer a secret from Wei Zhihe. If Xueyuan and the others come back, Wei Zhihe will definitely not let them go."
Lin Ziqiu understood what she meant, "But this is not a long-term solution. We can't prevent him from finding us and even prevent us from returning home."
After a pause, she came up with an idea: "If it doesn't work out, our whole family can go to the capital to celebrate the New Year."
Li Guixiang was stunned for a moment. "How can that be possible? It's Chinese New Year, how can we go out? No, no, no."
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you. We'll celebrate the New Year wherever you say we'll be there." Lin Ziqiu coaxed her grandmother, and suddenly thought of something in her heart, "Oh, by the way, there's something I have to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Zhong Zhiyang is back home."
"What...what? Zhiyang is back? Are you serious?" Li Guixiang was so excited that she wished she could go home right now to see her grandson whom she had loved so much since he was a child.
"Yes, he broke up with the guy outside, so he came back."
After all, Lin Ziqiu is not the person involved in Jiang Nianyue's case, and it is hard to say whether they will cause any trouble again in the future, or whether they will get back together.
But Zhong Zhiyang should have seen the true colors of Jiang's mother and daughter.
It all depends on what he chooses.
"It's better to break it off, it's better to break it off!" Li Guixiang finally felt relieved.
"Why did he suddenly come to his senses?"
Lin Ziqiu only said a few simple words, but Li Guixiang gritted her teeth in anger, "I already knew that neither of them is a good person. She even had the nerve to dump Zhiyang. She doesn't even know her own weight..."
"Grandma... let's talk about this after you come back. Long-distance calls are quite expensive." Lin Ziqiu knew that her grandmother was extremely partial to Zhong Zhiyang, which was why she almost spoiled him.
"Yes, yes, yes! This phone call is quite expensive, let's put it this way for now." Li Guixiang is not as willing to spend money as before. After all, Siyu still needs treatment, and she has to save more money.
Before hanging up the phone, Lin Ziqiu reminded him again: "Grandma, you'd better come back early. Otherwise, if you come back later, everyone will be taking the train home for the New Year, and it will be hard to buy tickets, and it won't be safe."
"Okay! I'll make a note of it. I'll discuss it with Xueyuan and then write to you."
Lin Ziqiu didn't dare tell her grandmother about the rain disaster. Firstly, she wouldn't believe it, and secondly, it would arouse her suspicion.
Just as she was about to leave the post office, the man who had helped her find the letter called out to her: "Comrade! Someone has sent you something."
Lin Ziqiu paused, walked over to take a look, and saw that it was a large package, and no one knew what was inside.
But when she saw the letter stuck on the top, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.
It wasn’t sent by Zhong Heyang.
But it was sent by Tian Xiaobo.
Lin Ziqiu thanked him and took the things back to the compound.
There was no one at home at the moment. She opened the package and found a very fashionable woolen coat and a small box.
There was a lady's watch inside.
Tian Xiaobo's letter was five pages long and filled with content.
In addition to telling interesting stories about his workplace, he also wrote that the coat and watch were New Year's and birthday gifts for Lin Ziqiu.
Lin Ziqiu’s birthday is on the 25th day of the first lunar month.
The last time she celebrated her birthday was when her mother was still alive.
When she was a child, her mother would knit her a sweater on her birthday every year to mark her growing a year older. She would also cook her a bowl of especially fragrant longevity noodles with two eggs in it.
At that time, their family of three was still very happy.
Lin Dahai would smile and tell her that her birthday was her mother’s day of suffering, and asked her to share an egg with her mother because it was not easy for her mother to give birth to her.
But her mother said that giving birth to her was not a day of suffering, but the happiest moment of her life.
Many, many years have passed in a flash, and she has never celebrated her birthday since her mother passed away.
How did Tian Xiaobo know her birthday?
Lin Ziqiu was a little curious, perhaps he learned it from his grandfather.
She had no habit of wearing a watch, and she always wore the bracelet her mother left her on her hand, and didn't want to make room for other things.
So she folded her clothes and put them in the closet, along with her watch.
She appreciated Tian Xiaobo's kindness.
Even though he didn't dare to break that window, Lin Ziqiu was not a fool. She could feel that Tian Xiaobo's feelings for her were not as pure as Xiaofeng's.
Unless the other party exposes it, she naturally would not take the initiative to mention such things.
She only treats Tian Xiaobo as her younger brother.
···
The days in winter always pass quickly.
The night was too long, so Lin Ziqiu rode his bicycle to the suburbs late at night.
Monday is almost here, and I don’t know how the preparations are going here.
The car passed through a small jungle and stopped at the gate of the manor.
The lights were still on inside. She rang the bell twice, and a figure ran out from the balcony on the second floor and waved at her from afar, "Why are you here?"
Ruan Qing still had a facial mask on her face and couldn't wait to run downstairs to open the door for her.
Lin Ziqiu took off her scarf, waited for her to open the door, and pushed the bicycle in.
Ruan Qing locked the door and took Lin Ziqiu into the house. "You come at this time, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
Lin Ziqiu rubbed his palms and exhaled a breath of hot air, "I can go later, how are the preparations here going?"
Now, Tian Xiaofeng has been brought out to the restaurant by her and can complete the two tasks of purchasing and preparing food by himself. She is relieved a lot and only needs to be in charge of the kitchen.
So it’s okay to go a little later.
Ruan Qing was holding a battery-powered flower lantern, which she had asked for from Lin Ziqiu. She felt that it was much more useful than the paper red lanterns sold in this era.
Moreover, Lin Ziqiu also gave her a box of batteries, enough for her to use.
But it can’t be discovered by others, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.
Ruan Qing felt that the red lanterns added a bit of a Chinese New Year atmosphere.
Lin Ziqiu was quite the opposite. "You live here alone, and lighting a red lantern, don't you feel creepy?"
Ruan Qing didn't feel anything until she said it. After hearing this, she shuddered with fear, "No! Don't scare me! I'm timid!"
Lin Ziqiu was quite confused, "How dare you live here alone if you are so timid."
Ruan Qing moved closer to her and said, "Why don't you stay with me? I'll take you to work tomorrow. It'll be very troublesome for you to go back and forth."
"No, I came here by bike."
"You live here, it's close to the hotel."
