Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled secretly, "You are such a grown-up, how can I know what you will do?"
"Wife, you can't leave me alone. I want to go back with you." He immediately expressed his thoughts.
What a joke. His wife and children are all gone, so he is left alone. He doesn't want to suffer like this.
"Are you fake?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Xiao Wen immediately changed his tone and said, "If I don't have any leave, can I ask for it? Besides, I've been working a lot of overtime recently, so I should be able to apply for a few days off."
Lin Qingqing pursed her lips. If someone looked carefully at this time, they would find that the corners of her mouth were slowly widening.
The final result of the discussion was that Mr. Xiao felt that he was too old and didn't want to go with the young people, so he just wanted to stay in Beijing to take care of the family.
Let their family of five go.
The next day, as soon as Xiao Wen arrived at the research institute, he immediately called the headquarters to ask for leave.
"Engineer Cheng, I've been working overtime for almost half a month. I feel like my body isn't my own. I'm about to get sick. But if you give me a few days off, I should be able to get better soon."
At this time, he was holding the phone and calling the headquarters.
Engineer Cheng on the other end of the line chuckled at his exaggerated words. "Alright, Engineer Xiao, we've worked together for quite a while now. I can more or less guess what you're up to. You just want a few days off, don't you? Do you really have to make yourself sound so miserable?"
Xiao Wen's expression froze as he held the phone.
But he soon returned to normal.
Now that his plan has been discovered, there is no need for him to continue pretending to be pitiful.
"Well, since you've already guessed it, Engineer Cheng, I'll just say it straight out. Yes, I want to take a leave."
Cheng Gonghe laughed twice, "Why don't you just talk about this matter? Why are you taking so many detours? Aren't you tired?"
The corners of Xiao Wen's mouth twitched twice, "I'm just afraid that you won't agree."
Engineer Cheng smiled again and said generously, "Alright, I'll grant you a week's vacation. Is that okay?"
Since this guy was transferred to Beijing, he has done a pretty good job at work, which has satisfied their headquarters.
In fact, their headquarters had always wanted to give him this leave, but they had never found the right time. But now, since he took the initiative to ask for it, they will give it to him directly.
Xiao Wen had no idea that such a thing existed. At this moment, he was very happy that he could get a week's vacation.
"That's great, thank you, Mr. Cheng. I know you are the best boss."
The corners of Cheng Gong's mouth curled up slightly.
If someone saw it, they would definitely notice that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"Okay, you idiot, stop flattering me. I'm telling you, if it weren't for your good work, I wouldn't be able to approve your leave. Just keep working hard."
"Please rest assured, I will work hard and will never lose face for you."
"You just talk nonsense." Cheng Gong smiled helplessly at Li He.
After finishing the call, Xiao Wen immediately hung up the phone and called the deputy director of the institute over to assign tasks.
"Old Huang, I'm on vacation starting today, so I'll leave this research institute to you. If there's anything you can't decide on, just give me a call. I'll leave you my number later."
Lao Huang is a middle-aged man wearing a gray Mao suit and a pair of thick glasses. He looks like a scholar who likes research.
"I understand, Director. You can take your vacation without worry. I will take good care of you in the institute." Old Huang almost patted his chest to make the promise.
After explaining these things, Xiao Wen quickly packed up some documents and went home.
As soon as I got home, I heard the house was very noisy.
He saw his wife and three children packing their luggage for their trip back home.
"Dad, you're back. Please pack your luggage quickly. Our luggage has been packed, except for yours." Xiao Wenqing ran over and shouted with excitement on his face.
"Okay, Dad will pack it up right away." After saying that, he put down the documents in his hand and strode upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw two boxes on the bed.
He also saw his usual change of clothes in one of the boxes.
Without having to think, he knew who helped him clean up.
Looking at the two boxes, a hint of tenderness obscured the light in his eyes.
When everything was ready, the family of five got in the car.
This time they plan to drive back by themselves.
This way you don't have to squeeze with other people on the train.
There are two advantages of driving back by yourself: you don’t have to squeeze in, and you can eat the food you want on the way.
However, precisely because of the freedom on the road, the family spent half a day longer on the road than taking the train to reach their destination.
The car drove directly into Linjia Village.
When they stepped into the village again, the family of five all felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
"Mom, can you please look and see if that is grandma and the others?" When they were about to reach the center of the village, Xiao Wenqing, who was sitting in the car, pointed at the figures standing in front and asked excitedly.
Lin Qingqing stretched her neck to look forward, and soon a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Yes, it's your grandma and her family. I didn't expect them to be waiting for us here. I clearly told them not to come pick us up when I called them."
Xiao Wen smiled and said, "My parents must have known we were coming back and couldn't wait any longer. It's okay. This place isn't far from home anyway. Let them wait if they want."
Lin Qingqing couldn't help feeling sad, so before the car got close, she asked Xiao Wen to stop the car and she ran over to meet Lin's father and the others.
"Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, didn't I tell you not to come and pick us up? Why are you here again?" Lin Qingqing ran over and shouted at her family with red eyes.
"Is that Qingqing? You're finally back. Why did you come here, kid?" Seeing her daughter who had been away for so long, Lin's mother walked up to her and said with heartache.
Lin Qingqing smiled happily. At this moment, she finally understood the saying that a child with a mother is a treasure.
"Little sister, after mom and dad knew you were coming back, they haven't been able to eat or sleep well. They've been worried about you coming back these past two days, so they've been waiting here." Mrs. Lin walked up and said with a smile.
In the past few years, as the Lin family's life has become better and better, Mrs. Lin no longer looks like a rural woman. She looks like she came from the city.
