Chapter 460 Good Brother
In the golden autumn of September, the wonderful university life has arrived.
Dongzhe held the imperial edict from Song Ying in his hand and went to see Xiaoting every day for the first week, fearing that she needed something and wanting to take care of her all the time.
On the first weekend, Hongbin went to see them.
Seeing Hongbin, Dongzhe screamed, "Brother Bin! I want to eat braised pork!"
This made Hong Bin very distressed. He waved his hand:
"Come on, I'll take you to eat braised pork, and Xiaoting's favorite braised fish and preserved vegetable pork!"
Along the way, Hongbin asked Dongzhe what he had eaten to make him so worried, and Xiaoting laughed:
"Brother Bin, it's actually okay. Lin Dongzhe is just greedy."
"The cafeteria over here is not good. Why don't I go to your cafeteria to eat every day? Yours is closer, so please get me a portion!" Dongzhe came up with an idea.
Hong Bin didn't know some people's tricks, and when he heard it, it seemed very reasonable, so he said:
"That's fine too. We used to do the same back then. We'd just go to whichever cafeteria had the best food and would rather travel a little further. So, Dongzhe, I'll leave my bike with you later. I won't need it for work, and the dormitory is just a few steps from the office. I can just take the bus when I come to see you."
Xiao Ting hurriedly said, "Brother Bin, no need. It's convenient for you to go out if something happens. Don't pay attention to him. Just have a quick bite at noon."
"Yes, Brother Bin, no need. If I want to go, I can just run. It's not very far." Dongzhe also responded quickly.
Hongbin found a restaurant to treat the two of them to dinner.
Dongzhe sighed, "Aunt Zhu's cooking is still the best."
Hong Bin smiled and said, "Once the Suihualou branch opens, we'll have a place to eat and somewhere to go on weekends. We've already found a house, and my mom will be coming over soon to arrange for the renovations."
"That's great. We'll go and help when we have time." Lin Dongzhe said happily.
"Okay, I'll call you if there's anything you can do."
"And me, Brother Bin, by the way, how is your work? Are you tired from work? Are you easy to get along with your colleagues?" Xiaoting also cared about Hongbin.
"Not at all. How tiring can it be to sit in the office? It's much more comfortable than going to school. There are twelve people in our group, sitting in a very large office. From the leaders to the colleagues, everyone is very nice." Hongbin answered happily.
"That's good."
After dinner, Hong Bin asked the two: "We have a day off today, do you want me to take you out to play?"
"No, no, Brother Bin, you're tired after working for a week. Let's go back to the school library to study." Dongzhe quickly refused.
Unexpectedly, Hong Bin responded, "Okay, then I'll go to your library too. I was just looking for your help to borrow two professional books."
Dongzhe opened his mouth but no words came out.
The three of them went to the library together, and unexpectedly, the book Hongbin wanted to borrow was actually there.
After borrowing the book for him, Dongzhe was expecting him to go back immediately. Unexpectedly, Hongbin found a place to sit down, took out a notebook from his bag and started studying seriously.
When he looked up, he saw that the two were still standing, so he gestured for them to come over and sit down to study together.
Dongzhe's heart finally died.
The following weekend, the two couldn't go on a date because either they had something going on at school or in class, or Hongbin would come to see them.
He always took them out for a bite to eat first, then accompanied them to study in the library, while he recharged himself.
Until one weekend, Dongzhe finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Hongbin:
"Brother Bin, our class has an event next weekend, so you don't have to come to us for dinner."
"Oh, okay, what about Xiaoting?"
Dongzhe glanced at Xiaoting. The tacit understanding between the two since childhood was not to be underestimated. Xiaoting answered naturally:
"Brother Bin, I have something to do too. Our teacher has assigned me some tasks to complete. I don't have time during normal times, so I can only do them during my breaks."
"Oh, okay. I'll come back in a week. You guys take care of yourselves. If there's anything you can't finish, come to me." Hong Bin didn't notice anything wrong.
Although this trick worked, it was no longer useful because the Shanghai branch of Suihualou began to be renovated and Aunt Zhu came to Shanghai.
She lived next to the Shanghai branch of Suihualou, a residence specially rented to her, so Hongbin went to the branch on weekends to help oversee the decoration so that his mother could have a day off. Dongzhe and Xiaoting also often went there, and Zhu Xiuyu cooked delicious food for them.
When Zhu Xiuyu arrived in Shanghai, Huang Ling and Song Ying felt relieved.
The class schedule was adjusted in late October, and there were no classes for a day and a half before the holiday, so Xiaoting and Dongzhe went home together.
Zhou Huaiyi went to pick them up.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Zhou Huaiyi was a little excited when he saw Xiaoting from afar.
"dad!"
"Uncle Zhou!"
"Hey, are you tired? Are you hungry? Come on, let's go to Dongzhe's house for dinner." Zhou Huaiyi took their schoolbags and took them to the car.
In the car, Zhou Huaiyi asked about their life and study, and they answered one by one.
As soon as he entered the alley, Grandpa Li and Xiaohu were playing at the door. Xiaohu looked blankly at Dongzhe who was squatting in front of him and stretching out his hand to him. He recognized him and then cried out "wow".
He was very uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance of the person he saw every day, and he would drag his grandmother to Dongzhe's house to look for him every day.
Grandma told him that his uncle had gone to Shanghai to attend university, but he didn't understand. He couldn't find him and was very sad.
When I suddenly saw Dongzhe at this moment, I felt extremely wronged.
As she cried, she threw herself into Dongzhe's arms and wiped her snot and tears all over him.
After entering the yard, Xiaohu was still sobbing on Dongzhe's shoulder.
Aunt Li laughed and said, "I look for you every day, and you get angry when you can't find you!"
Xiaoting gave Xiaohu a biscuit, and he stopped crying. He got down from the ground, hugged Dongzhe's calf with one hand and held the biscuit with the other hand, while looking up to confirm whether it was Dongzhe.
He took a bite of the biscuit, looked at the biscuit again, then looked at Xiaoting again, as if relieved, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
At this moment, Huang Ling and Song Ying, who were in the house, heard them enter the yard and hurried out, checking the two children up and down.
"Xiaoting's appearance hasn't changed, but how come Lin Dongzhe has become fatter?" Song Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, they have extra meals every week! Sister Yu won't let them go back to school unless she feeds them until they have to lean on the wall." Huang Ling nodded.
"Because studying is much easier than in senior year of high school," Xiaoting replied.
"That's because you have it a lot easier! You've already read more than half of the books you studied before going to college, but it's not easy for me! All of mine are a mystery..." Dongzhe immediately objected.
"You didn't fall asleep in class, did you? You should be in the same department as Xiaoting!" Song Ying slapped her son.
"No, no, I'm even more confused when I go to her department!" Dongzhe shook his head violently.
Everyone laughed, and Xiaohu also started to giggle.
After having dinner at Dongzhe's house, the family of three returned home, and Zhou Huaiyi said:
"It's still better to go to university in Shanghai! You can come back whenever you want!"
Huang Ling smiled and said to Xiao Ting:
"Your dad was more worried about you than I was. In the first few days after you left, he couldn't even walk. He made two cups of milk at night, and then he found out you were going to college. He drank the whole cup of milk himself. I laughed at him, thinking he was afraid the milk powder would expire and wanted to drink it quickly!"
We bought some fish for the weekend, but Xiaoting looked so sad while eating it that I thought the fish's gallbladder was punctured! But he said that he didn't know if Xiaoting could eat fish every week.
I told him to apply for a transfer to Shanghai! He could be a clerk, so he could cook for Xiaoting. Guess what he said to me?
Xiaoting smiled and shook her head.
"He said, that's not impossible!" Huang Ling replied.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at the two of them with a smile: "Your mother is talking nonsense, don't listen to her."
"Mom and Dad, I'll come back often. I miss you so much. I couldn't sleep all night for the first few days because I missed you."
"Yes, come back if you want to, don't worry about the money." Zhou Huaiyi replied.
Home was comfortable, but school also had its attractions, so the two returned to school after the holiday.
