Tingting and Jianjun took the train and arrived in town many days later. The first thing they did upon arrival was to check if there were any letters from Zhuzi and the others.
"Hello, is there a letter from Guo Jianjun here?"
"Yes, this is it."
"OK, thanks."
After Jianjun and Tingting received the letter, they prepared to go back to see Qiuqiu and Fubao. They had been busy for at least half a month.
"Jianjun, I'll tidy up the house and cook some nice food later. I'll also prepare gifts for the two children. You can go pick them up and come back in a bit."
"Okay, don't worry, honey, I'll go now. It's a bit early, but I haven't seen the kids in a long time, and I miss them."
"Okay, go ahead then. We'll start eating as soon as you pick them up."
Jianjun watched eagerly, waiting for the children to get out of school.
Fu Bao and Qiu Qiu haven't seen their parents for a long time recently. If they don't like to cook, they usually go to their uncle's house to eat.
"Fu Bao, do you think Mom and Dad have been that busy since they haven't come back for so long?"
"I don't know either. Didn't they say we should go to town to look for them?"
"But when I asked, they said they weren't there. I started to worry. I was afraid something might have happened."
"Don't say such discouraging things, okay? Mom and Dad are probably just too busy. They'll come back when they have time."
"Fu Bao, Qiu Qiu, here, here."
"Why does that sound like Dad's voice? Am I mistaken? Let's go home and cook for ourselves. We can't keep going to Uncle's house."
"Fu Bao, Qiu Qiu, I called you, but you didn't hear me."
Fu Bao and Qiu Qiu looked up and saw that it was their father who had come to pick them up.
"Dad, you and Mom are back! Why did it take so long? Qiuqiu and I didn't hear you come back."
"Of course it's your dad! Your mom and I just finished stocking up on goods, so we rushed back to see you."
"How are things at home? Your mom and I just got off the train and came to pick you up. Your mom is cooking at home, so you can eat as soon as you get back."
"Great, Dad! I can finally eat Mom's cooking again. My son and I are terrible cooks, so we always go to Uncle's house for meals."
"Okay, your mom and I also brought gifts for you two. Go home and see them later."
"Okay, I miss my mom too."
When Tingting saw Jianjun return with the children at home, she smiled and went up to him.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat. Clean up, I'm making all your favorite dishes today."
"Your father and I have something to tell you, go on your way."
“Okay, Mom, Fu Bao and I miss you and Dad. This trip was too long. Fu Bao and I are going to look for you.”
"Sigh, we're a bit worried this time. We're so busy right now that we sometimes can't even take care of you. Your dad and I are really worried about you."
“Let’s talk while we eat. It’s been almost half a month. Your dad and I were planning to stock up on goods and come back as soon as possible, but this time we’ve been delayed.”
"Also, Mom needs to discuss something with you. Your dad and I are really worried about you living here on your own. We're not really sure what to do."
"Although our house has high walls, we live on the edge of the village, at the very end, and there are hardly any people around."
“Your father and I thought it would be more convenient, but now that we’re going to the city, we won’t be able to take care of you all the time, and of course I’m worried.”
"Mom, nothing's happened. You're just overthinking it."
“It’s not that I’m overthinking it. Your dad and I are planning to stay home for a couple of days to keep you company, but tomorrow we’ll have your dad discuss it with your uncle and then you two can stay at his house.”
"Mom, I don't want to go. I'm not used to it. Besides, it's pretty good at home."
"Qiuqiu, I'm not kidding you guys. This is no small matter now. There are already a lot of people watching our family."
"Then think about it, your father and I made a lot of money in the city this time, ten times what you saw last time."
"If it were you, wouldn't you overthink it? Your father and I are really worried about you."
“Although we’ve stocked up on goods and run out of money, nobody believes it. Everyone thinks we’re incredibly wealthy. This news hasn’t even reached our village from the town yet.”
"But it's only a matter of time. When it's just the two of you at home, do you think I can feel at ease?"
“Your father and I already feel like we’re being targeted. Money can be a powerful motivator. You can make money, but that’s not a real skill.”
"The real skill is being able to make money and also keep it safe."
"Okay, I got it. I'll go to my uncle's house then."
"Yes, this is no small matter. I'll have your uncle pick you up from school. I'm not kidding you."
“If it weren’t for this, your father and I wouldn’t have been able to get off the train and come straight back. We were really worried.”
"Okay, Mom. Let's eat. You and Dad will have to stay with us for a few more days this time."
"Yes, definitely, don't worry."
After dinner, Tingting and Jianjun started looking for gifts for the children. They hadn't seen them for half a month and wanted to make them happy.
"Take a look at these dresses, see if they look good? And try these on."
"Qiuqiu, these are yours too. Since you have these digital watches, you can each have one."
“It looks so good. I’ll wear it right now. You and Dad used to say that you would buy us a watch if we got into Xiamen University.”
"It's great that we can bring it now. You are the best parents."
