For some reason, every time Chen Fan returned home and lay on that familiar single bed, he always wanted to stay in bed.
I secretly sent text messages to Su Ruchu last night and used up all the text messages in my package.
In the end, the two of them sent text messages at a cost of one cent each until the batteries of their mobile phones ran out, and then they reluctantly said good night to each other and went to bed.
Because his son came back, Chen Jianye specially switched shifts with someone else.
I went out without even having breakfast.
At almost 12 o'clock, Chen Jianye came back from outside with an excited look on his face.
Seeing her husband's expression, Li Jinqiu had basically guessed the result.
But he still asked, "How is it?"
"Really. There's 500,000 on the card."
Li Jinqiu's eyes lit up with joy, and then his face was full of emotion.
"Hey, how did my son do it?"
Chen Jianye chuckled.
"How did you do it? Of course I did it with my ability."
"Your son has really made great progress."
Li Jinqiu rolled his eyes: "My son has always been very successful."
Chen Jianye laughed and felt very good.
"The more successful you are, the better."
"Hush, keep your voice down, our son hasn't gotten up yet."
"Are you still sleeping? What time is it?"
"Ah, this kid seems to have lost weight this time. He must be very tired outside."
Chen Jianye nodded and said, "How about this, go out and buy some vegetables and spareribs today, and also kill an old hen and stew some soup for me to nourish me..."
"OK."
…
Chen Fan lingered in bed until ten o'clock when he got up.
I skipped breakfast and went straight to lunch.
Li Jinqiu asked while eating.
"How many days will you stay this time?"
Chen Fan said casually while eating, "We'll be here for three days. We have to leave on Thursday. Summer vacation is about to end and school will start again."
"Stay for three days?"
Seeing that his mother was in a bad mood, Chen Fan smiled and explained, "Mom, didn't I tell you that I'm preparing to start a business recently, and I have a lot of things to do."
Chen Jianye then said, "You've grown up, and we won't interfere in your affairs. But remember to take care of yourself outside and call home at any time so that your mother doesn't worry about you."
“I’ll remember that.”
Li Jinqiu glanced at his son's phone.
"Look at you, you're just fiddling with this phone. Who are you chatting with?"
Chen Jianye glared at his wife.
"I just said that my son has grown up. Why do you still care so much about him?"
Li Jinqiu glared back.
"Why, can't I, as a mother, ask?"
"Besides, my son is grown up now. What if he falls in love? Can't I ask him?"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, have you ever been in a relationship at school?"
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yes."
Um?
Even Chen Jianye put down the chopsticks in his pocket out of curiosity.
"Are you really dating? How old is the girl? Is she in the same school as you? What does she do at home?"
Li Jinqiu asked a series of questions in rapid succession.
Chen Fan had no choice but to explain: "Her name is Su Ruchu, and she is a native of our Los Angeles."
The couple was obviously stunned.
"native?"
"Then you two..."
Li Jinqiu frowned and said, "Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Mom, you should have heard about her before. She was my deskmate in high school."
"Yeah, why does it look so familiar?"
"We both got admitted to the same university."
"I see." Li Jinqiu asked curiously, "What do her parents do? Does her family know that you two are in love?"
"Both my parents are busy with business."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinqiu suddenly became nervous.
"Businessman? Then he is a rich man? Will he be interested in our house?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye became unhappy.
"What's wrong with our family? Maybe people looked down on us in the past."
"But now you can ask around the world to find out whose son can make 50,000 in less than a month..."
Yes.
My son is also very rich now.
Li Jinqiu immediately let go.
I think that even if my son and the other person are not of equal social status, at least they won't embarrass others.
"Son, do you have a photo of the girl?"
"I don't have it with me. I'll show it to you next time."
"You kid, you didn't even remember to bring a photo back..."
Chen Jianye looked at his son and warned him, "It's wrong for your parents to fall in love, but remember, you are a boy, you have to take responsibility and don't bully girls, understand?"
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Dad, I'll remember that."
…
After lunch, Chen Fan left home and took the bus to the county town.
After waiting at the bus stop for a while, I finally saw a familiar figure walking out of the bus.
Chen Fan greeted him with a smile.
Without saying a word, he pulled Su Ruchu into his arms.
"Do you want to?"
"Um."
"Have you thought about it?"
"I did."
For a couple in the cradle of love, not seeing each other for more than a month is indeed very difficult.
Even Su Ruchu, a girl who was so reserved about feelings, couldn't control her feelings of missing Chen Fan and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
After hugging for two minutes, the two separated and Chen Fan held Su Ruchu's little body.
"Have you eaten yet?"
“I’ve eaten.”
"So where shall we go for a stroll?"
Su Ruchu looked at Chen Fan with a smile.
"As you say."
In fact, she didn't care where to go. She cared more about having Chen Fan by her side.
Chen Fan coughed dryly, "I heard that a four-star hotel just opened in the county..."
Su Ruchu pinched Chen Fan directly.
"What are you thinking about all day long?"
"Of course I miss you." Chen Fan looked aggrieved, "Wife, you don't know how I have survived these past month."
"Especially when you have just experienced the sweetness of love, and you suddenly go home, do you know how painful it is?
Su Ruochu blushed, "If you say that again... I'll go home."
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."
Chen Fan pulled Su Ruchu's little kid and said with a magnanimous look on his face.
"Let's go shopping with you. Today is your treat, buy whatever you want."
Su Ruochu smiled faintly and let the other party hold her.
The county town is not very big and there are not many places to play.
The two of them went shopping together, then had a cold drink at a cold drink shop, and finally Su Ruchu took Chen Fan's arm and went to the ancient commercial street.
It doesn't matter where they go, what they care more about is the feeling of being together.
"How about going to the movies?"
Coming out of the commercial street, Chen Fan suggested.
"It's getting dark after the movie. We have to go home."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "No problem. I'll take you back. By the way, your mother doesn't know you're out, does she?"
Su Ruochu shook her head, "Mom is not home today."
"That's good……"
As he was speaking, Chen Fan suddenly noticed that Su Ruchu's expression froze and he looked surprised.
Chen Fan turned his head and looked in the direction the other person was looking.
There was a car parked on the side of the road.
A woman looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
"Mom..."
Su Ruochu looked flustered, and after 꿯 responded, he quickly pulled 꿛 back from Chen Fan's arm.
"Why are you here?"
