The two of them found some food outside and walked around for a while. The place where they had stayed for a few years seemed to have put on a new layer of clothes, with traces of time everywhere.
Song Chen saw a familiar little restaurant in front of him: "We had dinner here back then, do you remember?"
Lin Lu nodded.
Song Chen: "You don't know, after you left that day, your son cried so hard that he became mute when he returned and didn't even bother looking for you."
Lin Lu felt melancholy: "Is he very disappointed?" He lowered his head and kicked away the stones at his feet.
Song Chen held her hand and said, "Yes, he did. On the way here, he kept chattering that he would give his mother a big hug when he saw her, and that he would sleep in her arms at night. Who knew that you wouldn't even hug him? It would be so embarrassing."
The sour feeling melted in his mouth, slid down his throat and into his heart. Lin Lu said: "I just didn't know how to treat him at the time. He was so small when I left, and suddenly he grew so big.
When I heard him calling me mom, I didn’t know how to respond.
His eyes were so bright, staring at me blankly, as if asking again - "Mom, I miss you so much, do you miss me, why did you leave me?"
I didn't dare hug him. I was afraid. I had finally made up my mind to come here, to pursue my studies and realize my own dreams. If I softened my heart, I would have to return to my hometown and be trapped there for the rest of my life. All my hard work over the years would be in vain.
So, Song Chen, you can understand me, right? I have already made a plan. After I graduate and make enough money, I will buy a house here and bring you all over.
You are all in my plan, I have not abandoned him.
I had saved up some money by then, and I'm really sorry, but I'm me, not just his mom."
Song Chen wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he say such words to make his wife cry?
He held his wife in his arms: "I know, I understand. He just didn't understand when he was little. Now he's the best with you, right? We don't blame you. On the contrary, we are all proud of you. Really, Lin Lulu, Xiaobei and I are very lucky that you chose us. You don't know how much people outside envy us."
He wiped away her tears with his rough hands and comforted her gently.
Lin Lu: "You're so annoying."
Song Chen put her head on his shoulder: "Well, I hate it."
"You're so annoying."
"Well, I'm annoyed."
Lin Lu's tears and snot rubbed against his clothes: "Let's eat here tonight, Song Chen."
Song Chen: "Didn't the young man come to make the reservation tonight? Are you confused?"
Lin Lu: "That's right. Come back when you have time. Their roast duck is quite delicious."
Song Chen: "How about buying some to take back home?"
Lin Lu also wanted to have this.
However, the two of them didn't go to buy anything now. It wouldn't be too late to come after lunch in the afternoon. After all, they still had to go for a walk later, and it wouldn't be convenient to carry things with them.
Yes, Song Chen pestered Lin Lu to take him to the places where she had been before.
However, Lin Lu suddenly thought that he should buy some gifts to visit the teacher.
I haven't seen them for so many years and I don't know how they are doing.
"Do you think I should go check on the teachers? I forgot to call them to let them know I'm safe since I woke up."
Lin Lu received a lot of care from his teachers when he was in school.
Song Chen: "I called them."
Lin Lu glanced at him sideways: "When?"
This guy not only infiltrated her classmates, but now even the teacher has been infiltrated by him.
Song Chen: "When you first woke up and contacted your classmates, you also told them."
Lin Lu praised: "You are quite thoughtful, Boss Song."
The streets were crowded with people coming and going from all over the country.
Song Chen: "Let me call Teacher Zhao and we can buy some gifts and come over?"
Teacher Zhao was Lin Lu’s counselor at the time, and his wife was the advisor for Lin Lu’s graduate school newspaper.
"You're actually still in contact with Teacher Zhao?"
Song Chen: "Isn't it good? They all miss you very much."
Lin Lu: "Then make the call quickly, buy some gifts, and go to the teacher's house and sit for a while. It's almost time to go have dinner with the little brother."
It's only one o'clock now, it's still early.
After buying a mobile phone, Song Chen saved all the numbers in the phone book in the phone address book.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, Lulu and I are in Beijing and wanted to bother you and Mr. Chu. Are you free now?"
Lin Lu heard that he responded very readily, so the person on the other side should have given a positive answer.
After hanging up the phone, he said, "Let's go buy gifts."
Lin Lu: "Are Teacher Zhao and Teacher Chu home?"
Song: "They are all here. They all want to see you. Let's go over there quickly."
Lin Lu is not very good at choosing gifts: "I don't know what to buy, do you have any recommendations?"
Song Chen: "The three major items for Chinese New Year are fruit, milk, and pork. What do you think?"
Lin Lu: This is acceptable in my hometown, but it would be a bit tacky to buy those sets here.
"Let's buy tea for Teacher Zhao and incense for Teacher Chu. Teacher Chu likes to collect incense from Tianzi Pavilion."
Song Chen: "I'll do as you say."
My wife obviously knows what to give as a gift, but she still lets me choose. How mean.
Lin Lu bought a gift and the two of them took a taxi there. On the way, they received a call from Gu Yun, asking them to go to his place for dinner, but they refused on the grounds that they were going to visit their teacher.
Song Chen had never been to Teacher Zhao's house, but Lin Lu had been there before. However, Kyoto has changed a lot in recent years and is no longer the same as it used to be. The driver dropped them off at the intersection and left. The two originally planned to find someone to ask, but the old man they asked was Teacher Zhao. You just say it's fate or not.
The teacher and student met each other after so many years, and their eyes were red. "Teacher Zhao." Lin Lu choked up again today.
The little old man Zhao Huasheng turned his back and wiped his tears: "It's good that you woke up. It's good that you woke up. Go home. Your teacher Chu is cooking."
Teacher Zhao's family still lives in the teacher's apartment they were previously assigned to. The three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment is more than enough for a family of three.
"Old Chu, look who's here?"
Teacher Chu came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and her eyes were also red.
Song Chen and his son also entered the room: "Teacher Zhao, Teacher Chu, this is a little gift from Lulu for you."
Chu Ning: "You two kids, just come if you want to. Why buy me any gifts? It's too formal."
Song Chen: "No way, Lulu still remembers that Teacher Zhao likes to drink tea and you like to light incense, so I picked it out especially for you two. Children should also show filial piety to their parents during the New Year. Don't be shy, don't be shy."
After hearing what he said, Chu Ning couldn't say anything else polite.
