Chapter 66 Farewell
Not long after Lin Ting and Zhou Qing spent Children's Day with their granddaughter, they decided to return to their hometown.
Wang Xiuren, Lin Qiu and Lin Ping took turns to convince the old couple but failed. Even Wang Shan's method of acting coquettishly didn't work. The old couple insisted on going home.
Lin Qiu and Lin Ping would take the old couple to the pedestrian street, commercial street, shopping malls and other places at night, allowing them to experience the colorful nightlife of Shenzhen and taste foreign delicacies of different flavors.
Of course, we also have to buy them some new clothes so that they can return home in a decent manner.
When choosing summer clothes for Lin Ting, Lin Qiu also bought two pieces for Wang Xiuren's father. Zhou Qing saw that Lin Qiu asked for a larger size and waved her hand at her: "Qiuqiu, you got the wrong size, this size is too big for your father!"
"This is bought for Wang Xiuren's father!" Lin Qiu didn't want to give anyone a chance to criticize him. Since he bought it for his own father and mother, he certainly couldn't leave out Wang Xiuren's parents.
Lin Ting nodded and said, "Qiuqiu did a good job. You should buy it for your in-laws and mother-in-law."
"Sis, why buy them? They're not good to you!"
Lin Ping didn't understand. Why did his brother-in-law's parents buy clothes for them when they were so partial to them? It’s not like I have too much money and don’t know where to spend it! If I were in their shoes, I would rather give the money to beggars than buy clothes for them.
"Pingping, your sister did the right thing!"
Zhou Qing pulled his little daughter over and explained to her in detail, "No matter what, they are still your brother-in-law's parents. Your father and I came to Pengcheng, and I guess his parents already knew the information. If your father and I go back glamorously, and your sister and brother-in-law don't prepare anything for them, what will others say?"
"They will say that your brother-in-law has forgotten his mother after getting married, and that we are unfilial!" Lin Qiu paid the bill and came over with the shopping bag to take over.
"Most people only believe what they see. They only see that Daddy and Mommy are glamorous and your brother-in-law's parents don't even have a thing. They will only think that your brother-in-law and I are unfilial. You and them can never make things clear. We are far away, and their words can't reach my ears, but Daddy and Mommy always have to go out. So I would rather spend a few dollars to avoid those words that make Daddy and Mommy angry!"
Lin Ting looked at his eldest daughter with appreciation, and then reminded his youngest daughter, "Qiuqiu did the right thing! Pingping, you still need to learn more from Qiuqiu about how to behave in society. When you can do things like her and basically make people unable to criticize you, I will be relieved about you!"
"I know! I will definitely learn well from my sister, so don't worry!" Lin Ping answered, but his voice was drawn out.
"Speak properly! You're such a grown-up!"
The deliberately drawn-out voice gave Zhou Qing goose bumps and a feeling of something being wrong. She hit her daughter hard on the arm.
"Mom!"
Lin Ping stamped his feet.
"Okay, you're grown up, let's go!" Lin Qiu took his sister's arm, "Let's go over there and take a look. Mom hasn't bought any clothes yet!"
"Come on, I know there's a store over there that sells nice clothes that aren't expensive, I'll take you there!"
Listening to the two daughters chattering as they walked forward, Lin Ting smiled and stretched out his arms, "Come on, old woman, the two sisters are going to love each other, you can just hold my arm!"
Zhou Qing felt embarrassed. It was so awkward to do this in public. So he said awkwardly: "Let's go our separate ways. I won't get lost!"
"I'm afraid you'll lose it, okay?"
Lin Ting walked to his wife and forcefully placed her hand in his arm, looking like a domineering CEO from later generations. "Let's go! Don't keep Qiuqiu and the others waiting any longer!"
Zhou Qing's ears turned red as she followed Lin Ting like a little wife with a shy smile.
…
The night before leaving, Wang Xiuren took out a thousand yuan from his pocket before going to bed and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law will be back tomorrow. Take it and bring whatever they want to eat! Give them pocket money for the rest."
"Where did the money come from?"
Lin Qiu didn't take the money and asked in surprise.
Since buying the house, all of Wang Xiuren's salary has been deducted to pay off debts. Lin Qiu dared not accept the one thousand yuan unless he explained the source of it.
"Last week, Ah Xing asked me to take some time to inspect all the doors, windows and desks for the tax bureau. This is his reward to me!" Wang Xiuren confessed, "You can use it with confidence! Besides, I don't have the guts to do anything bad!"
"No wonder you came home so late every day last week." Lin Qiu took the money and said, "Don't worry too much about the family debt. Take it easy and don't work too hard. Your health is the capital of revolution!"
Wang Xiuren felt sweet inside when he heard Lin Qiu's caring words, "I know! Honey, you are so nice!"
Lin Qiu listened to Wang Xiuren's disgusting words and turned his eyes away with some disgust, but the tips of his ears turned red.
It seems that Zhou Qing inherited the habit of her ears turning red when she is shy.
“By the way, do you want to bring something back to your parents?” Lin Qiu asked as he touched the money he had just received.
Lin Qiu's words made Wang Xiuren pause. After thinking for a while, he said, "Just buy it if you think it's worth it!"
Lin Qiu stood beside the bed. She had complaints about Wang Xiuren's parents, and Wang Xiuren probably felt the same way.
"Dad, Mom, can't we just not go back?"
Lin Qiu helped his parents pack the things they were going to take back home. He looked at Zhou Qing with red eyes, "I can't bear to see you go back! Shanshan can't bear to see you go back either!"
After saying this, tears fell like rain.
Zhou Qing hugged Lin Qiu tightly in his arms, he couldn't bear to leave his daughter and granddaughter!
"I don't want to leave you either, but Liu Xiang is going to give birth after the Dragon Boat Festival. No matter how badly she has done, I have to go back when she gives birth, and I have to take care of her after the confinement period." Zhou Qing gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Besides, your father has missed a month's shift at the prefabrication factory. It would be unreasonable if he didn't go back. Don't worry, I will come to see you when I am free."
Lin Qiu didn't believe it, "I know you are just kidding me, you will definitely not come again from such a long distance!"
"Why would I try to coax you? You two sisters and Shanshan are all here. I can ride a car now. If I miss you, I can just take a car and come here!"
Lin Ting looked at his wife and daughter hugging each other, and with red eyes, he promised his daughter: "I will try to bring her to see you every year!"
Lin Qiu looked up at Lin Ting with tears in her eyes, "Dad, you said this, you can't go back on your word!"
"Your father is not that kind of person."
Departure comes quickly.
On the platform of the train station, Wang Xiuren helped put two full bags of luggage on the luggage rack, then took two large bags of snacks and fruits handed to him by Lin Ping, put them on the lower bunk, and then prepared to get off the train.
"Dad, Mom, the train is about to leave, I'm going to get off first, you two should be careful on the way!"
Seeing his son-in-law looking at him with concern, Lin Ting felt warm in his heart, "We will take care of ourselves. You should also take good care of Qiuqiu and Shanshan, and take care of yourself."
"I will!" Wang Xiuren assured his father-in-law.
Wang Xiuren checked again and made sure nothing was missed, then got off the train and stood with his wife and daughter.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
Wang Shan sat in Lin Qiu's arms and cried, reaching out her hands to Lin Ting and Zhou Qing in the car window.
"Shanshan! Don't cry!"
The old couple, with tears in their eyes, leaned against the car window to comfort their granddaughter.
"Grandpa and grandma, can you please not go back?" Wang Shan cried until she was hoarse, "Can you please just stay here?"
When Zhou Qing heard her granddaughter's hoarse cry, tears streamed down her face.
Lin Ting opened the car window, his eyes were red, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Shanshan, grandpa and grandma have to go back to wait for the baby from your uncle's house to be born. When the baby is born, grandpa and grandma will come to see you again! You should listen to your parents and eat well, do you hear me?"
Wang Shan was crying so hard that she couldn't speak, and kept reaching out to Lin Ting to hug her.
"Shanshan is the best and most obedient, right? Grandpa made a promise with you yesterday that you will come over after you finish your housework!" Lin Ting coaxed his granddaughter patiently.
Wang Shan nodded and cried, "I'll be obedient! Grandpa, when the baby is born, you must come to see me and play with me! You must remember this!"
"Grandpa and grandma must come!"
After Lin Ting finished speaking, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he hardened his heart, closed the car window, and turned his head away and stopped looking out the window.
As the whistle blew, the train slowly accelerated forward.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
When Wang Shan saw the train leaving, she twisted her body and tried to jump on it.
Wang Shan was very strong, and Lin Qiu couldn't hold her and was almost pulled forward by her. Wang Xiuren quickly took his daughter in.
"Dad, tell grandpa that he must come back to see me when the baby is born! Tell him now!"
Wang Xiuren's eyes turned red as he looked at his daughter's pitiful appearance. He carried her around, while Lin Qiu followed her and coaxed her in a soft voice. Lin Ping also followed beside her out of concern.
The granddaughter was screaming at the top of her lungs below the platform, and the old couple was crying bitterly on the train.
When you get older, you can’t stand separation even more.
Especially a little kid of this size, following you around day and night, with you in his eyes and heart. She is good-looking and sweet-spoken. Parting with her is like cutting off the flesh of my heart.
"Old man, I'll come here after I finish taking care of Liu Xiang during her confinement. I can't bear to leave Shanshan! Her crying just now broke my heart!" Zhou Qing wiped his tears and rubbed his chest.
"I can't bear to leave either. I'll see if I can withdraw from the prefabrication factory." Lin Ting was also feeling bad. He almost couldn't help but get off the car. He couldn't bear to leave!
well!
Just wait until next time we meet again.
