Chapter 435: Northeastern Pickled Vegetable Girl
The three of them started chatting about this topic. Both Li Hongjun and Li Hongliang agreed with Zhou Yong's opinion.
It was past eight o'clock when the two brothers returned. After they left, Zhou Yong sat quietly for more than ten minutes before he went back to his bedroom to rest.
Zhou Yong had a dreamless night. The next day, he went to the township government early, finished the things at hand, and came back to arrange the work of the brigade.
Two days later, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun drove to the city where Zhou Kexin was. The couple traveled a long distance and it took them three days to reach their destination.
Normally, they would reach their destination in two days, but at this stage, most roads were difficult to travel on. Another thing is that they didn't have a navigation system, so they took a wrong route and ran an extra 500 kilometers.
When Zhou Kexin saw his parents, his eyes turned red with excitement.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
They did not communicate over the phone before coming, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun just wanted to give their daughter an unexpected surprise.
Li Caiyun hugged Zhou Kexin and patted her back gently: "Mom and your dad missed you, so we came to see you..."
Zhou Kexin felt a lump in her throat and tears blurred her vision.
Zhou Yong was carrying a lot of bags and watching this scene, feeling very uncomfortable.
Zhou Kexin sniffed and let go of Li Caiyun. She wiped her eye sockets and looked at Zhou Yong.
"Dad, I miss you and my mom so much."
Zhou Kexin's words almost made Zhou Yong burst into tears.
"After going to college, I feel different. My mouth has become sweeter."
Zhou Yong teased his daughter deliberately and didn't want to talk about overly depressing topics, fearing that Zhou Kexin would not be able to recover for a while after they left.
Zhou Kexin's originally tense face finally couldn't help but break into a bright smile after hearing her father's humorous words.
Seeing this, Zhou Yong nodded with satisfaction. He knew that his words had helped to ease the atmosphere.
As Zhou Kexin's laughter rang out, the originally slightly dull atmosphere gradually became lively.
"Mom, what delicious food did you and Dad bring me?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yong picked up the bags in his hands and shook them in front of his daughter, which made Zhou Kexin see stars.
Li Caiyun's tone was gentle. She smiled and said, "These are all the foods you like..."
Zhou Kexin really loved the spicy cabbage and beef sauce made by Guan Shuqing, so these two foods were naturally brought to her.
In addition, I brought her a lot of garlic eggplants, mustard greens, chili sauce, and green onion pickles.
Then I brought her roast chicken, roast duck, braised beef and other food.
Zhou Kexin was almost drooling, which made Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun feel very sad.
After putting the items her parents brought into the dormitory, Zhou Kexin followed the couple out to eat.
The food in Zhou Kexin's city is mostly sweet, and Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun are not used to it.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Caiyun muttered: "The difference in taste between the north and south is so big."
Zhou Kexin held Li Caiyun's arm and said, "Mom, now you understand why I always ask you to bring me pickles, right? And let me tell you, the food in our school cafeteria is really unpalatable!
And because I always eat pickles, people in my dormitory gave me a nickname, Northeast Pickle Girl..."
Zhou Yong stared at his daughter, and Zhou Kexin told her parents all the interesting things that happened in school.
Zhou Kexin was not angry about her classmates giving her a nickname, nor did she explain anything.
Because in her opinion, the more you explain some things, the more misunderstandings they will cause, so she just lets them do as they please.
Zhou Yong nodded from time to time, approving of his daughter's actions. Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Northeast Pickled Vegetable Girl? This nickname is quite interesting..."
Zhou Kexin smiled and continued to share her experiences at school.
As they chatted, they arrived at the school gate. Zhou Kexin pouted and said, "Mom, can you stay with my dad for a few more days? When I finish the experiment, I will take you around the city..."
Li Caiyun couldn't help but look at Zhou Yong, and Zhou Kexin suddenly realized that her request might make her parents embarrassed.
Because Zhou Kexin knew how busy her father was, she immediately changed her words.
"Mom, if you're in a hurry to go back, then wait until next time. Besides, I've already been fully scheduled for classes these days..."
Zhou Yong smiled and took over the conversation: "Since we are here, Dad and your mom will naturally want to see the scenery of this city. If you have time, please accompany us. If not, we can go around by ourselves..."
It was a rare trip for them, and since the child wanted them to stay a few more days, Zhou Yong naturally had to fulfill his daughter's wish.
The three of them chatted at the gate. Zhou Kexin went back to school. Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun smiled at each other. The couple hasn't found a place to stay yet!
In the following days, Zhou Kexin attended classes in the morning and came out to accompany Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun in the afternoon.
The family of three traveled for three days, and finally, with Zhou Kexin reluctant to leave, the couple set out on their journey home.
After this trip, the couple felt much more at ease when they returned home, at least they knew that no one would bully their daughter at school.
As soon as they arrived home, Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian couldn't wait to ask about Zhou Kexin's condition. When they learned that the child was fine, the old couple felt relieved.
"By the way, Goudan called and asked me to send them more living expenses next month..."
The two brothers, one studied design and the other studied architecture, and neither of them is in an industry that saves money.
Especially Li Jingchu, who studies design, needs painting skills, so he often needs to buy painting supplies.
Li Caiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, their father can make money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford their education!"
Zhang Guifang agreed: "Not so good. I remember when Wu Peng was in college, he only had five yuan a month for living expenses, and sometimes the kid couldn't even spend it all..."
Zhou Yong smiled and took over his mother-in-law's words: "Mom, they studied different majors, so their living expenses are naturally not comparable..."
Li Baotian agreed with his son-in-law's words, and then Ma San came.
"Brother Zhou, I heard that you and your sister-in-law are back. I came to ask about Niuniu's situation..."
Ma San watched Zhou Kexin and her five siblings grow up. Although they are not his biological children, Ma San has nothing to say about them.
He told Ma San the truth about Zhou Kexin's situation. As he listened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Among these children, I am most optimistic about Niuniu. Facts have proved that I have a good eye..."
Zhou Yong glanced at Ma San who was boasting and said, "You have lost your dignity. My daughter is excellent, why are you trying to flatter yourself?"
Ma San laughed out loud, and the others couldn't help but laugh too.
"Three, how is Yichen doing in school?"
Ma San talked about Ma Yichen's recent situation, and everyone smiled.
After talking about Ma Yichen, Ma San mentioned that Liu Juan wanted to open a factory.
Zhou Yong suggested that they open a food factory, so Liu Juan, Li Caiyun and Li Caixia prepared to open a food factory.
However, these three people knew nothing and needed to go out to investigate and study, so Liu Juan needed to take a long vacation from the brigade.
Zhou Yong looked at Ma San, and he said after thinking: "San, your sister-in-law has a certain potential in business, why don't you just let her resign..."
