The long vacation finally came to an end.

August 30th is the day for freshmen to report to Yunhai University.

Li Jinqiu got up early in the morning to help his son pack his luggage.

As the saying goes, dumplings come on the bus and noodles come off the bus. The old couple made the dumplings last night.

The filling is my son’s favorite pork and green onion filling.

In order to send his son to university, Chen Jianye specially switched shifts with his colleagues today.

I saw my wife making dumplings alone in the kitchen, and she secretly wiped away her tears while making dumplings.

Chen Jianye couldn't help but scold in a low voice.

"Why are you crying? It's obviously a good thing. Your son has made great progress. You should be smiling."

Li Jinqiu wiped the corners of his eyes.

"My son has never been far away from home since he was a child..."

"Alright, alright, our son is old enough now. We should have learned to let go a long time ago."

"With a doting mother like you, your son will never achieve anything in his life."

Li Jinqiu glared at his husband fiercely.

"You don't spoil him? I don't know who was the one who was so worried about his son's safety last night that he insisted on going with him."

When Chen Jianye's past was exposed by his wife, his face immediately turned red.

He glared at his wife.

"Okay. My son is up now. Wipe it quickly so he won't notice."

During the meal, Li Jinqiu sat aside and couldn't eat at all. He just kept telling his son about various problems.

"I've sewed the tuition money into the lining of your clothes. Make sure you carry it with you."

"Tuition and living expenses should be separated. Hold your schoolbag in your arms on the bus and don't talk to strangers casually..."

"The weather is getting colder soon, remember to wear autumn pants..."

"Also, you must get along well with your classmates at school."

"Especially students in the dormitory. Don't fight..."

Li Jinqiu kept on talking while Chen Fan just lowered his head to eat and made humming and ahing sounds in response.

To be honest, if Chen Fan had heard his mother's nagging in his previous life, he would have found it boring and annoyed.

But after experiencing the death of a loved one, Chen Fan now feels extremely happy.

“Alright, alright!”

Chen Jianye on the side couldn't help but frown.

"You've been talking for so long, and my son has been exhausted by you. Why can't you say something important?"

Li Jinqiu glared at her husband.

"Then you said something important."

Chen Jianye looked at his son and warned him.

"If you are running low on living expenses, be sure to tell your family."

Li Jinqiu reacted immediately.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

"If you don't have enough living expenses, tell mom and she will go to the post office to wire you money."

"If you have anything to say, call your second aunt directly. Your father has already called and asked someone to install a landline. When our phone is installed, I will ask your second aunt to tell you the number..."

"Yeah, Mom and Dad, I've got it all down."

Chen Fan smiled and looked up at the two elders.

"Don't worry, the living expenses are definitely enough."

"And I have already planned it. Once I settle down in college, I will study and find a part-time job to train myself."

Li Jinqiu was a little worried: "Part-time job? Don't be fooled..."

Chen Jianye glared at his wife.

"That's enough. Can't you say something nice?"

After saying that, he looked at his son.

"Think about taking a part-time job. Although your parents are poor, they can still support you through college."

"Your current task is to study hard."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he knew he couldn't argue about this matter.

So he nodded vaguely to show that he understood.

The old couple chattered on and on about some things.

Finally, Chen Fan finished two plates of dumplings and it was time to leave.

Li Jinqiu was a little worried.

"Xiao Fan, do you really not need your dad to go with you?"

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

“Really.”

"Mom and Dad, look at me now. If I need my parents to accompany me even to register at the university, what will I achieve in my life?"

"I should be independent and self-reliant in college, so I decided to start training myself from now on."

Seeing that his mother was still a little worried, Chen Fan had to comfort her with a smile.

"Mom, besides, I'm not alone. Don't I still have Guo Shuai?"

"You are also going to Yunhai to study at university. We can go together."

"My son is right."

Chen Jianye looked at his son with admiration.

It feels like my son has finally grown up.

But in the end, I couldn't help but secretly remind Chen Fan to be careful on the road.

Chen Fan didn't have much luggage, just a large suitcase and a backpack.

Chen Fan didn't bring anything for the stay except a quilt.

When they went out, dad Chen Jianye carried the suitcase and mom Li Jinqiu carried the schoolbag.

Chen Fan followed behind alone and locked the door to the yard.

Go down the road and you will eventually arrive at the village road bus stop.

Along the way, I met many familiar neighbors.

"Xiao Fan went to school?"

"He's a college student. I heard it's from a prestigious university..."

The villagers would always greet him warmly, and Chen Jianye would then smile and chat with everyone.

"Send my son to college."

"Yes, college has started. I'll see you off..."

Although he said it casually, I could feel that this might be one of the proudest moments of my father's life.

The bus to the county town arrived. Chen Jianye loaded the suitcase onto the bus, while Li Jinqiu handed the schoolbag to his son.

Chen Fan held his schoolbag and waved at the two of them.

"Mom and Dad, go back. I'm leaving now."

Li Jinqiu's eyes reddened.

"Be careful on the road, and call your second aunt's house when you get there."

"Oh, I see."

As the bus started moving, Chen Fan could see through the window that his parents were still standing on the side of the road, waving their hands.

Chen Fan's eyes turned red and tears almost burst out.

My mother's hair has turned gray, and my father's back has become hunched...

The son grew up, but the years took their toll on the old couple.

Looking at the two people's gradually receding figures, Chen Fan said silently in his heart.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will make sure you live the happiest life in this lifetime."

In his previous life, his parents passed away too early and he did not enjoy the blessing of having a son. This has always been one of Chen Fan's regrets.

In this life, I will never allow such regret to happen again.

I arrived at the county bus terminal with a slight sadness along the way.

Guo Shuai has been waiting here for a long time.

This guy was brought here by my dad.

In order to go to report with Chen Fan, the boy directly refused his parents' request to drive him to Yunhai.

"Brother Fan, you're too slow. I've almost smoked a pack of cigarettes."

This guy, once he entered college, finally no longer had to smoke secretly.

His face was full of excitement, like a bird released from a cage.

"Hurry up, I've already bought the ticket. Get on the bus."

Guo Shuai rushed over to help Chen Fan drag the suitcase.

Chen Fan glanced at the guy in confusion.

"Where's your luggage? Just a schoolbag?"

Guo Shuai chuckled.

"You don't understand this, I have this."

He patted his schoolbag as he spoke.

"I have enough money with me to buy everything new when I go to college."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head speechlessly.

"I hope you like the quilt given by the school..."

"what?"

"Nothing, just get in the car."

Guo Shuai glanced at her.

"Where is Su Ruochu?"

"Why hasn't my sister-in-law come yet?"

Then he looked at Chen Fan and said, "Didn't we agree to go together?"

"I even bought her ticket."

Chen Fan's expression froze for a moment and he sighed.

"Let's go. She should be sent to college by her family."

"You're not going with us?"

Guo Shuai was confused and looked at Chen Fan in surprise.

"No, no, no, no..."

"Your expression is very strange."

Guo Shuai suddenly chased after him.

"Hey, what's going on? Tell me about it..."
