Chapter 528 Watching
Although it was Wang Shan's first time staying in a hotel in the capital, which was more than 2,000 kilometers away from her home, her situation was actually much better than Lin Qiu's.
In fact, children can accept separation much faster than adults think.
She went to the cafeteria with her roommates to eat the past two days, trying each window one by one, wanting to experience all the windows in the cafeteria.
Moreover, the school is a lively place, especially when new students start school, the school and the college hold various welcome activities.
Coupled with class meetings, class leader elections, student union recruitment, club recruitment, etc., Wang Shan did not have much time to miss her family.
On September 1, the freshmen of Tsinghua University's Class of 2008 began their half-month military training.
As we all know, the military training at Tsinghua University is quite strict.
Not only did they add live-fire shooting, camping, fire prevention and anti-terrorism and other related training subjects to the original military training, but they also had a 20-kilometer night march that left a deep impression on many Tsinghua people.
After the military training was over, university classes officially began.
Wang Shan adapted to the life of studying away from home without realizing it.
…
"Qiuqiu, did Shanshan say when she will be back?" Zhou Qing was counting the days with the desk calendar.
"On National Day!" Lin Qiu answered loudly while frying hairtail.
"So are you going to pick her up at the airport?"
"She was afraid that we would go to the airport to wait for her, so she didn't tell me the flight."
"This kid!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but mutter, "We don't have anything to do at home, so it's okay to go to the airport and wait for a while."
"This is Shanshan's filial piety." Lin Ting continued while holding the newspaper.
"That's right. Our Shanshan has been filial since she was young. When she was just a little bit taller, she would always give the food to us first, then to our parents, and finally to herself." Zhou Qing smiled and gestured with his hands.
Lin Ting also recalled Wang Shan’s childhood.
"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat!" Lin Qiu brought two plates of food to the table, interrupting his parents' reminiscing about the past.
The old couple could only shut up, wash their hands and eat.
Amid her family's anticipation, Wang Shan returned home.
She came back with Huang Xinxin and Yan Shen, each pushing a suitcase.
As soon as they left the airport, the heat made it impossible for the three of them to wear their thin coats.
I've only been in the capital for a month and I forgot it's still summer in Pengcheng.
The taxi drove directly downstairs.
When he heard the knock on the door, Zhou Qing was still wondering: "Who would come here at this time? Could it be Shanshan?"
But she has the key.
When I opened the door, it was indeed Wang Shan.
"Grandma!" Wang Shan gave her grandmother a hug.
"Hey, Shanshan is back! Why are you so darker?" Zhou Qing pulled her to look at her carefully, "You've lost weight? Are you not used to northern food? I need to ask your mother to buy you some good food to nourish you."
Lin Ting also walked quickly to the hallway.
“Grandpa!”
"I'm back."
Lin Ting took the slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at his granddaughter's feet, then took the suitcase and said, "Old lady, please let Shanshan change her shoes and come in to sit down."
"Yes, yes, yes, change your shoes and come in and sit down." Zhou Qing patted his thigh.
After Wang Shan sat down, Zhou Qing was busy getting her drinks and washing fruits.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Lin Ting took the remote control and lowered the air conditioner temperature.
After a while, Lin Qiu came back sweating with vegetables in his hands: "Did you take a taxi? You didn't tell me the flight number. You must be very hot. Go in and take a shower. I'll get you some clothes. What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I want to eat boiled shrimp, steamed fish, roast goose, and stir-fried pork." Wang Shan missed the food at home so much in the capital.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away." Lin Qiu replied with a smile.
At noon, the table was filled with Wang Shan's favorite dishes. Seeing her wolfing down the food, Zhou Qing kept muttering, "I've suffered so much. I've suffered so much."
"Grandma, it's not what you think. The food in the university cafeteria is not bad, but I just want to eat at home." Wang Shan explained after swallowing the shrimp in her mouth.
"Yeah, yeah." Zhou Qing only heard the five words "homemade food" and asked hurriedly, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask your mom to buy it."
"Let me talk about it after I get some sleep."
"Okay." Zhou Qing peeled another shrimp and put it in Wang Shan's bowl.
"Grandma, you eat too."
Zhou Qing nodded.
After dinner, the three of them sent Wang Shan to bed without any prior arrangement, and they also took a nap.
When Wang Shan woke up, it was almost six o'clock.
The orange glow spread over the balcony, and my grandparents and mom were sitting on the rattan chairs on the balcony chatting and laughing, looking so comfortable.
"Awake? I said I would call you in five minutes!" Lin Qiu turned around with a smile on his face.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy." Wang Shan walked forward and lay on her mother's shoulder.
"Your mother said she would take us out for a walk in the future." Lin Ting replied.
"That's great! Where do you plan to go?" Wang Shan was very supportive of this idea.
"We are still discussing it." Lin Qiu continued, "Maybe we will stop by to see you on the way."
"Then I'll treat you to a meal." Wang Shan replied without thinking.
"Hahaha, for this meal, we have to go to the capital." Lin Ting joked.
Everyone burst into laughter.
We had dinner at a seafood restaurant.
After dinner, the family went to the night market for a stroll before returning home.
The next day, Wang Shan took the paintings she had drawn during this period to see Teacher Guo and did not return until after dinner.
After coming back, I went straight into the study to paint.
On the third day, after breakfast, Wang Shan went out to play with Huang Xinxin, Yan Shen and other classmates who returned to Pengcheng. They did not come back until nine o'clock in the evening.
On the fourth day, Wang Shan finally had some free time, so she went to Dameisha with her mother, grandparents, and grandparents.
For the next two days, Wang Shan stayed at home and painted.
On the last day of the holiday, Lin Qiu and Zhou Qing stuffed large and small bags of things into Wang Shan's suitcase, wishing they could put all the things in the house in it.
Lin Ting also held his granddaughter's hand and gave her detailed instructions.
Then, the three of them sent her to the airport to reunite with Huang Xinxin and the others, and watched her leave reluctantly.
When she watched her daughter disappear at the ticket gate, Lin Qiu truly felt that her daughter had grown up. She was no longer the little girl who held her clothes and followed her closely.
She happened to catch a glimpse of a book in the window of an airport bookstore. Through the transparent glass window, the words on the cover caught her eye:
I slowly, slowly came to understand that the so-called father-daughter and mother-son relationship only means that your fate with him is to keep watching his back gradually going away in this life. You stand at one end of the path, watching him gradually disappear around the bend of the path, and his back tells you: no need to chase.
Lin Qiu felt that these words were a true reflection of her inner feelings at the moment.
She walked into the store and picked up the book.
Long Yingtai? Don’t know.
But she decided to buy the book anyway.
After leaving the airport, I looked up at the plane in the sky and watched it fly away.
