After the call connected, Su Tian heard a familiar and cheerful voice come through the receiver, "Hello, who is this?"
Su Tian wanted to tease her father, so she asked in a low voice, "Guess?"
"Who is it? Are you trying to cause trouble? If you don't speak, I'm hanging up. I'm very busy."
Hearing her father's angry tone, Su Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Dad, it's me. Guess where I am?"
When Su Jianjun heard the voice calling "Dad" through the receiver, he couldn't believe it. His daughter had called him.
"Darling, why are you calling me? Is something wrong?"
Su Jianjun suddenly became worried. She usually wrote letters and sent them home, so why was she calling now?
"Dad, I'm at the provincial train station now. Please drive over and pick me up."
I'll be waiting for you at the train station entrance, remember? I'm hanging up now.
With a "snap," Su Tian hung up the phone.
Su Jianjun was very pleased to hear Su Tian's instructions.
He quickly stood up, grabbed his car keys, and drove the company car to pick up his beloved daughter.
Su Jianjun rushed to the train station, looking around for Su Tian. Finally, he spotted her familiar face in the crowd.
Su Tian also spotted her father and happily ran over, dragging her luggage.
"You silly girl, your sudden return really gave your old man a fright," Su Jianjun said with a smile as he took Su Tian's luggage.
"Dad, I just wanted to give you a surprise," Su Tian said happily.
"Yes, this is quite a surprise. Come on, let's get in the car first."
"good."
As Su Jianjun drove, he asked Su Tian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "How come you're back?"
“Dad, the primary school is on winter vacation now, and there’s no farm work to do during this time, so all of us educated youth can ask the brigade leader for a letter of introduction to go home and visit our families.”
"Your brigade leader is quite good, some villages simply won't let people like you go home."
"If you want to go home, you have to give money and gifts to the village officials before they'll let you leave."
"So, Dad, Songjia Village is quite nice. I've also taken good care of your boss, Grandpa Chen."
“My daughter, you have finally grown up and done such a great thing.”
Has anyone noticed that you're taking care of Grandpa Chen?
"Even if they find out, it's okay. Even the village chief's wife is secretly taking care of him."
Before I was sent to the countryside, she was the one who took care of me.
"The village chief and his family are quite good; they are upright, kind, and honest, and they don't bully those who have been sent down to the countryside."
"Yes, I get along well with the village chief's wife."
The two chatted easily and pleasantly, and before long, the vehicle drove into the government staff housing complex.
After Su Jianjun stopped the car, Su Tian also got out.
The two carried their luggage into the house, and Su Tian found that the house was still the same as before, and the familiar furnishings filled her heart with warmth.
Just then, Aunt Xie, a neighbor, came over upon hearing the noise and was pleasantly surprised to see Su Tian return.
"Oh, Su Tian's back! I heard life in the countryside is tough. How are you?"
Su Tian replied with a smile, "Auntie, I'm fine. I can eat my fill and sleep well in the countryside. Look at me, I've never lost weight."
"Wow, it's true. Your face is still so fair. You haven't gotten tanned at all."
"Yes, I'm a teacher in the countryside, so I rarely work in the fields and therefore don't get much sun exposure."
"Being a teacher? That's really impressive. You've just gotten back, so I won't bother you any longer. Let's chat again sometime."
"Okay, Auntie."
"Dad, where's Mom?"
"Your mother has probably gone to buy groceries. Sit down for a while, and she'll start cooking when she gets back."
Are you hungry? There are some snacks in the drawer, have some to fill your stomach first.
"Dad, I'm not hungry. I'll go back to my room and tidy up my things."
Are you free? If you are, put the rice in the pan and start cooking. Then Mom can start stir-frying the dishes when she gets back.
"If you have free time, lunchtime is your personal time; if you don't have free time, you have to make sure you do."
Su Jianjun laughed as he took off his coat and went to wash the pot, put in the rice, and start cooking.
Su Tian carried her luggage into her room and felt a warm glow in her heart as she looked at the neat and clean bed.
She took out the clothes she had bought for her parents and grandparents in Beijing, as well as some local specialties, and placed them all on the stool.
Just then, Mrs. Su returned carrying groceries.
She was about to take out her keys to open the door when she found that the door was already open.
"Old Su? You're back?"
As soon as Wang Lin entered the room, she started calling out repeatedly.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
"Aren't you usually at work at noon? Why did you come back to cook?"
"Oh, I don't want to eat at the company cafeteria, so I'll eat at home."
Wang Lin looked at Su Jianjun suspiciously. Why couldn't she believe him? There must be something fishy going on.
"No way, who are you trying to fool? You said you're so busy you don't even have time to pee, how could you possibly have time to go home and cook?"
"Haha... I've been saying this for ages, why are you still bringing it up to tease me?"
"You jerk, I know you too well. You want to treat me to dinner?"
Su Jianjun said mysteriously, "Yes, I'm inviting a very special girl to dinner."
She's young and beautiful, and I think about her all the time; I can't sleep because of her.
Seeing Su Jianjun's beaming face, Wang Lin's anger flared up instantly. "You're having an affair?"
“I have no one outside, but I have someone at home.”
"You, you bastard, you brought her home?"
Seeing his wife's furious expression, Su Jianjun's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, had he gone too far with this joke?
"Okay, I'll go inside and see which young and beautiful woman has bewitched you?"
As soon as Wang Lin stepped into the inner room, she noticed that her daughter's bedroom door was open.
That bastard actually brought a woman into his daughter's room; she'll have to teach him a lesson later.
"You..."
Before Wang Lin could finish speaking, Su Tian turned around and looked at her relative's mother, exclaiming in surprise, "Mom, you're back!"
"Hey, girl, when did you get back?"
Wang Lin looked at Su Tian, who had suddenly appeared in the room, with surprise and asked with a smile.
"Just now, I called my dad to pick me up from the train station."
"Mom, are you happy to see me? Are you surprised?"
Wang Lin looked at Su Tian carefully. "Girl, you haven't gotten tanned or lost weight. That's good. It seems you didn't suffer in the countryside."
"Yes, I'm eating and sleeping well in the countryside, so don't worry about me."
Wang Lin was a little excited. "Daughter, you rest in your room first. Mom will go cook some dishes now, and we can eat in a little while."
"Okay, thank you, Mom. You've worked hard."
"It's not hard work. What's so hard about cooking for my own daughter?"
After Wang Lin finished speaking, her expression immediately changed. "Hmph, Su Jianjun, how dare he lie to me!"
"Su Jianjun, you've gotten bolder, daring to lie to me?"
Wang Lin wanted to pull his ear, but seeing that he was cooking, she didn't do it for the time being.
