Chapter 280 Arrived Home
The author's ideal Xingyan and Tunan
On the way, Gu Xingyan stood up and went to the connection between the carriages to stretch her arms and legs. When she turned around, she saw Tuanan looking in her direction with his head raised.
Seeing her walking back, he turned his head to the window.
She was moved, she was worried about her
Gu Xingyan observed silently. He didn't act like this when other girls left, but every time she left and turned around, she would more or less meet his gaze.
When she stood up again, Tunan said to her, "There are pickpockets on the bus. It would be safer if you leave your bag here when you leave."
"Oh." Gu Xingyan nodded.
After that, whenever she left, she handed the bag to Tuanan, who took it and placed it neatly on his lap.
The two often chatted in low voices, either about finance or architecture.
Gu Xingyan heard a different interpretation of Suzhou gardens from Tunan.
Tuanan, on the other hand, heard a different interpretation of reform and opening up from Gu Xingyan.
The two also talked about literature, ancient poetry, and the embodiment of architectural aesthetics in the "Nichang" windbreaker.
"How do you know so much?" Gu Xingyan was quite surprised.
"I..." Tuanan was about to say "My mother taught me", but then he remembered that Huang Ling had told him in the car when she sent him to Beijing that now that he was in college, he should be careful when speaking in the future and say "my mother told me" less, otherwise others will think he is a mama's boy.
Although he still doesn't quite understand the true meaning of the word "mama's boy", judging from the tone Huang Ling used when she said it, it doesn't seem to be a good word.
So, he said, "I have knowledgeable elders at home. We chat about all sorts of things, and I've learned a lot without realizing it."
"I also have knowledgeable elders in my family, two of them, and we can chat about everything under the sun." Gu Xingyan smiled and stretched out two fingers.
Tunan could see that being an only daughter and coming from a scholarly family had shaped her independent, cheerful and elegant personality.
Time flies and we arrive at our destination.
The male students took the initiative to help the female students with their bags, and everyone left the station together.
Tuanan was carrying his bag in one hand and Gu Xingyan's bag in the other. He saw Huang Ling, Xiaoting and Dongzhe waving at him from a distance.
"Auntie is here to pick us up." Xie Zheyu also saw the three people.
"Student Zhuang, is that your mother?" the girls asked.
"Yes, my mother and my younger brother and sister." Tunan replied.
All three of them were eye-catching, one was fashionable, one was cute, and one... was restricted by the railings and was jumping up and down.
Everyone quickly looked for their relatives who were coming to pick them up.
Tu Nan was about to ask Gu Xingyan when he heard her say:
"I saw my parents, Mr. Zhuang, give it to me, thank you!"
Tuanan handed the bag to Gu Xingyan and saw her waving at the crowd. He followed her gaze and saw that the place where the crowd responded was a little distance away from where Huang Ling was standing.
Everyone said goodbye at the exit and ran towards their loved ones.
"Brother Tunan! Brother Zheyu!"
"Brother, Brother Zheyu."
"mom."
"Auntie Huang~!"
"Oh my God, how come they grew taller after just a few days in the north!" Huang Ling held the arms of the two men, looked at them one by one, and then laughed.
She raised an eyebrow at Xie Zheyu and said, "Let's go! I've got the car and parked outside."
Seeing Dongzhe pestering Tunan, Xie Zheyu hurriedly moved closer to Huang Ling and whispered in her ear, "Three o'clock direction, the one in the red cotton coat."
Huang Ling looked over immediately.
"Mother!"
"Ah what?" Huang Ling's soul was called back by Tunan.
"I say, did Uncle Zhou agree that you were driving the car? You didn't drive it out secretly, did you? Uncle Zhou will be anxious soon..." Tuanan started mumbling.
"I agree, don't worry." Huang Ling replied.
Huang Ling saw it clearly from a distance. In fact, she had just seen Tuanan handing the bag to a girl in a red cotton-padded jacket, but she was too far away at that time and could not see her face clearly. Now she could see it clearly.
Tuanan obviously didn't quite believe what Huang Ling said, so he looked at Xiaoting.
Xiaoting nodded:
"Brother, uncle agreed. After you went to school, mom started to persuade me to do it. Then uncle couldn't stand it anymore and agreed."
"Brother, don't worry. Auntie can take care of Xiaoting and me, which means she must have passed Uncle Zhou's assessment." Dongzhe also added.
After hearing what Dongzhe said, Tunan felt relieved.
"mom.……"
Dongzhe knew his brother Tunan, so he continued, "Brother Tunan, don't worry, I know the way. Uncle Zhou has been with me for half the city, so I'm not afraid of wasting gas."
After getting in the car, seeing Huang Ling's proficiency, Tuanan finally felt relieved. He then hurriedly asked about the performance of his three younger siblings. Except for Pengfei, he was satisfied with the other two.
Xie Zheyu's family has never had a day care. He called home to say that he was back, so his family didn't come to pick him up. Huang Ling first sent him home before going home.
Everyone in the family is waiting for Tunan.
Tuanan opened the bag, took out the gifts and distributed them to everyone, then called Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi into the room.
He took out a handkerchief from the innermost part of his schoolbag and handed it to Zhou Huaiyi.
Zhou Huaiyi took it and opened it, and saw that there was five hundred yuan inside.
"How do you earn so much? You can't be riding a two-wheeled rickshaw!" Huang Ling said in surprise.
Just now in the car, Huang Ling heard Xie Zheyu talking about his experience as a rickshaw driver.
"Look at what you said. If it's so easy to make money riding a rickshaw, then the streets would be full of them! Our Tuanan must have made his living by his brain." Zhou Huaiyi said with a smile.
"Mom, Uncle Zhou, here's a hundred dollars I earned for copying the design drawings. It was originally a job for seniors, but the deputy director knew I had a solid foundation and let me in. The other four hundred dollars can't really be considered mine; it belonged to Mom."
"I" Huang Ling looked at Zhou Huaiyi in confusion.
"I helped you sort out the demand list before, and there were several non-textile items. You said you would not accept them due to various problems and asked me to return the letter to the customer. I felt it was a pity, so I used my spare time to search around and found a source of goods in a city near Beijing. This is the difference in price."
The approving looks from the two made Tunan feel a little embarrassed.
The school subsidy is actually quite sufficient for living expenses, and some frugal students may even have some left over. However, the Department of Architecture has more consumables than other departments, and they are not cheap, so most students will ask their families for some more.
But after Tuanan went there, he never asked his parents for a penny and was self-sufficient.
"We are very happy to know that you have this intention. Keep the money for yourself. You spend money a lot outside." Zhou Huaiyi pushed the money back to Tuanan.
"Uncle, no need. I left some money, enough for school." After saying that, Tuanan ran out of the room.
He was very grateful to Zhou Huaiyi for accepting him into his home and taking good care of him. He could not say those sentimental words and could only express it through actions.
"It's the child's filial piety. Keep it and buy meat." Huang Ling patted the money in Zhou Huaiyi's hand.
Zhou Huaiyi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go to work after dinner."
He rushed back from work at noon to prepare a sumptuous lunch, and then went to work after eating.
In the afternoon, Tuanan went back to Zhuang Chaoying's place and had dinner there.
When he arrived, Zhuang Chaoying was teaching students, Hongbin was studying with Pengfei in Hongbin's room, and Zhu Xiuyu had not returned yet.
