Chapter 230 Dancing
"Shanshan, have you packed your luggage?"
Thinking that his daughter would be going to Shanghai with Teacher Guo tomorrow, Lin Qiu felt a little worried.
"It's packed." Wang Shan held her mother's arm and said, "I'll check it again before going to bed."
This was her first time traveling far away without the company of her family, and she felt somewhat nervous.
Lin Qiu gently stroked his daughter's hair. "It's rainy and typhoon-prone right now. Remember to bring a few extra sets of underwear and an extra umbrella. When you go out, be sure to follow Teacher Guo closely."
"Also, you must pay attention to safety. When staying in a hotel, be sure to lock the doors and windows."
Every time Lin Qiu said something, Wang Shan nodded, like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing her like this, like a child, Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask: "How about I go with her?"
Wang Shan immediately looked at her mother with hope.
Lin Qiu thought about it and refused cruelly.
"Shanshan, you are mainly here with Teacher Guo to organize the exhibition. You have important things to do. It's not good to bring your family with you. You are already 17 years old. It's time for you to learn to be independent. Besides, your grandparents have their own things to do."
The old couple originally planned to go back to their hometown with Zhou Mei and the children to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days.
After hearing what her mother said, Wang Shan could only reply with regret: "Okay."
Zhou Qing didn't know what to say after hearing what her daughter said. She could only nag her granddaughter: "Be sure to be safe when you go out. If you have any problems, go to Teacher Guo or your teacher's wife. Remember to call your parents every day to let them know you're safe. Also, be prepared with cold medicine and other things."
Wang Shan looked at her grandmother with a touched expression.
The two of them were almost holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes.
Lin Qiu was somewhat helpless: "It's only for half a month, why should you two grandparents be so busy!"
Having said that, she actually found it hard to let go in her heart. This was the first time her daughter had left her to travel far away on her own since she grew up. Although she was being taken care of by Teacher Guo and his wife, it was always hard for her as a mother to feel at ease.
In fact, Lin Qiu also knew that the child had grown up and it was time for him to learn to let go and let his daughter fly in the sky alone.
It’s easy to think so, but it’s not easy to do it.
The next day, not only did the old couple and Lin Qiu and his wife go to see Wang Shan off, but Zhou Mei also took her four children and took a taxi to the airport.
In addition to the deep friendship between the children, Zhou Mei and the children all wanted to go to the airport to take a look.
Guo Dongyuan and his wife stared in amazement at their young apprentice who was surrounded by a dozen people.
"Teacher Guo."
"Mrs. Guo."
Several adults greeted Guo Dongyuan and his wife one by one.
Several children followed Wang Shan and greeted them: "Hello, Teacher Guo! Hello, Mrs. Guo!"
The unanimous voice brought Guo Dongyuan and his wife back to their senses.
"Hello, hello!"
Lin Qiu brought Wang Shan to them and said, "Mr. Guo, Mrs. Guo, I'm going to trouble you with Shanshan for a while. If she does anything wrong, feel free to criticize her."
Guo Dongyuan waved his hand, "No need to be so polite."
Mrs. Guo took Wang Shan's hand affectionately and said, "I have never seen a child who is less troublesome than her. I will definitely take good care of them with me here. You can rest assured."
The two sides exchanged a few polite words, and then Teacher Guo, his wife and apprentice said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the security check.
The whole family watched Wang Shan leave reluctantly.
Two days later, the old couple followed Lin Hui and the children back to their hometown.
Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren were somewhat uncomfortable with their parents and daughter not being at home. The house is so quiet every day, which makes people feel empty inside.
Although my parents often went back to their hometown in the past, at least there was their daughter at home. Even though she was quietly doing homework or drawing most of the time, the home was more lively.
"Oh, I wonder what Shanshan is doing now?" Lin Qiu couldn't help but sigh while holding the bowl of rice.
Wang Xiuren comforted her, "Didn't she call yesterday and tell me that Teacher Guo has been taking her to meet friends these days? Maybe she's having a big meal right now!"
"That's true." Lin Qiu forced a smile, "I just don't know if the food there will suit her taste."
"Don't worry about that. Shanghai and Hangzhou both focus on Hangzhou cuisine. Last time in Hangzhou, I saw her eating quite happily."
Lin Qiu patted his forehead lightly, "Look at me, I don't even remember this."
"You are so concerned that you are confused!"
Wang Xiuren continued, "In two years, Shanshan will go to college outside. I can't imagine what you will be like then."
He was also very concerned about his daughter. After all, she was the only precious girl in the family and he always held her in his heart and cherished her in his hands.
Lin Qiu also knew that now it was not her daughter who could not live without her, but she was the one who could not live without her daughter.
"Will I block her future?" Lin Qiu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and ate it slowly, "I'll get used to it slowly."
Wang Xiuren saw that she was in a low mood and quickly changed the subject, "But there is one advantage of Shanshan not being at home."
"What's the benefit?"
"No one disturbs our world of two!" Wang Xiuren said confidently.
In the past, when my daughter was at home, I had to take time out to pick her up from school every morning and evening. Whenever the two of them wanted to go out for a walk during holidays, she had to go to Teacher Guo's place to paint. Every time I go out to travel, it's just a side trip, but the main purpose is to accompany her to go out sketching.
The focus of their lives revolves around her, so this is the first time the couple has enjoyed their own world since she was born.
Lin Qiu couldn't help but glare at him.
He was right. Now that their daughter was not at home, they did have a lot more time to themselves.
After dinner, the couple walked side by side in the community.
The neighborhood is particularly lively in the summer, especially at night, when the elderly drag a large speaker and dance in the open space.
In his previous life, Lin Qiu liked watching middle-aged women dancing in the square, but square dancing is not popular yet.
The old men and women were now dancing ballroom dance, and she was also watching them intently.
"How about we both give it a try?" Wang Xiuren suggested when he saw that she was fascinated by what she saw.
Lin Qiu shook his head quickly, "I won't go, I'll just take a look."
Wang Xiuren thought she was shy and embarrassed, so he continued to encourage her: "What's the big deal? Old men and old ladies dare to dance, why don't we try too?"
"If you want to go, you go. I won't go." Lin Qiucai didn't want to make a fool of himself.
"If you don't go, who should I dance with?" Wang Xiuren had no choice but to give up.
Ballroom dancing requires two people to hold each other's waists and shoulders. He has a wife and doesn't want to be so intimate with anyone other than his wife.
It’s not that he is conservative, but men and women should still maintain their distance when interacting with each other.
However, he did not give up the idea of dancing. The next day, he went to the audio-visual store and bought a DVD. After dinner, he did not go for a walk. Instead, he turned on the DVD and directly pulled Lin Qiu to dance along with the TV.
Lin Qiu was a little hesitant at first and deliberately stepped on Wang Xiuren several times, but Wang Xiuren didn't care at all and continued to hug her and spin around.
Lin Qiu also gradually relaxed and swayed along with the rhythm.
