Chapter 248 Going home on winter break
Chapter 248. Going home on winter break
It went without saying Lin Qing He's was warm as well. The quilt for her and her eldest son was prepared a long time ago, so naturally, they won't get cold.
This time Zhou Kai sent silky chicken soup.
It was also deliciously stewed. Lin Qing He asked after drinking it, "Will it be too troublesome for your classmate's mother?"
"No, Aunt Weng is nice. When I went there last time, she latched on to me. She knew that I hadn't eaten yet and made me a bowl of noodles." Zhou Kai said.
That's why he likes going to his classmate's house. He wasn't young and stupid. When going over, he would occasionally bring a fish over.
"Last time Aunt Weng came to the school to send something to Weng Guo Liang. She had mentioned that she wanted to meet you, Mother, the one who taught me into such an outstanding son." Zhou Kai smiled.
Lin Qing He thought, 'it can't be what I think it is, right?'
She asked: "When did this happen?"
"When you went to Hai City the previous time to participate in the exchange meeting." Zhou Kai smilingly answered.
"I brought back a scarf last time. It's especially suitable for our age. If you have time to drop by, bring it to her. Just say that Mother brought it back from Hai City and hope she won't dislike it. "Lin Qing He instructed.
Then she went to the dorm and actually took a scarf out of the space. It was very trendy.
"Mother, it's pretty. You can keep it for yourself." Zhou Kai said.
She couldn't appreciate this vibrant red style. Lin Qing He felt that she might as well knit a scarf by herself.
"To always trouble her to stew something for me. I got nothing much to give. What I'm gifting is more or less my thoughts. Your classmate's family is nice." Lin Qing He said.
As for whether everyone has fate in the future, wait and see. It was too early to reach that point now, so let's leave it aside.
Mother Weng received this scarf.
Got to say, she really liked it. Especially since she long wanted to change the scarf she had worn for many years. It was only thoughts.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Kai's mother gave her such a gift.
"Child's dad, do you think I should accept this?" Mother Weng said.
Father Weng can tell she loved it, so he said, "Accept it. When Zhou Kai comes over, you can just cook him two more hearty meals."
"My, I can't really." Mother Weng smiled.
"Aren't you thinking of raising Zhou Kai as a son-in-law. Your future in-law family is giving you a scarf. What is there to be shy about?" Father Weng teased.
Mother Weng lightly slapped him with a grin, but replied: "From what I see, she shouldn't be difficult to get along with."
"It's great that you're reassured. With her academic qualifications, she won't be one to be unreasonable." Father Weng said as he thought, 'wife, you should be worried about whether Zhou Kai and our daughter can get together'. From what he observed, both people had had no such thoughts. It was a normal classmate relationship.
Still, he didn't tell his wife. Woman, they always like dreaming.
After Lin Qing He gave a scarf, she stopped paying any heed. Later, she heard from her eldest son that he was treated to two big feasts when going over.
After entering December, the weather was really freezing. Especially the dormitory. There were no heater items.
The most they could do was drink hot water. However, if one drinks too much, they have to go to the toilet.
Even Lin Qing He couldn't bear the cold. She basically stayed in bed. Not getting out of bed at all.
Now there were only five people left in the dorm. Chen Xue moved out. Because the dormitory could not accommodate her. she willfully moved out after a few days of rest.
Lin Qing He didn't have much interest in these matters. Winter vacation was in one week. She wished to go back as soon as possible.
Even if it takes a few days' journey on the road, it didn't matter. Once she was back, she can stay until the tenth day of January!
College began again on the tenth day of January of next year.
It can be said that it is becoming more and more standardized. The credit system had been enforced.
The school encouraged everyone to stay and continue to study because this opportunity was really rare.
Lin Qing He's tutor was a middle-aged woman. She really hoped for Lin Qing He to stay because had high hope for Lin Qing He. She even mentioned to Lin Qing He about staying in university as a faculty member in the future.
Lin Qing He had given her answer. If she had the opportunity, she would.
Why won't she stay? If she stays, she can completely solve the problem of household registration.
But regarding the matter of staying to study, Lin Qing He shook her head and refused: "My family is waiting. I told them I will go back."
"Then go back. Don't fall behind in English." Her tutor said.
"I definitely won't." Lin Qing He nodded.
The tutor didn't say anything.
In mid-December, Lin Qing He led Zhou Kai onto the train.
The train took two days. But all the way to the village took about four days.
"Mother, we only have 25 days. The journey to and fro took up eight days. We can only stay at home for 17 days in total," Zhou Kai said.
"Even if we stay for one day, we have to go back and stay." Lin Qing He educated.
In fact, Zhou Kai was just saying. He wasn't against coming back. This was his hometown, so what was there to object to?
Besides, he slightly missed his father, his brothers, and grandparent.
Zhou Kai broke through 1.8 meters mark. He was almost 1.83 meters. Amazingly tall. Originally, Lin Qing He was a little worried, but in the second half of this year, her eldest son's growth was much slower.
So Lin Qing He felt that it was probably due to sudden rapid growth, it would slow down by itself afterward.
Once mother and son rushed back all the way from the capital to the county city, they were in great relief.
It was pretty late, already past seven o'clock in the evening. Still, the mother and son still planned to go home.
"It's so late. No need to hurry back. Stay one night before you decide." Zhou Xiao Mei disagreed.
"Stay... for one night." Su Da Lin urged as well.
"Not staying. There aren't many days in the winter vacation." Lin Qing He said. Then she handed a box of the capital's eight specialties and a Peking roast duck to Zhou Xiao Mei. "Alright. We're heading back now."
After borrowing Zhou Xiao Mei's bicycle, the mother and son returned home.
"That Fourth Sister-in-law. To come such a long way and still bring these things back." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.
"She...she misses you." Su Da Lin smiled.
Zhou Xiao Mei grinned and then took the nationally famous Peking duck and the capital's eight pieces back to the room. She sent half of them to Su Da Lin's uncle's side. More or less their thought. And giving them a taste.
When Lin Qing He and Zhou Kai got home, the family was about to go to bed.
Right then, they couldn't sleep at all.
"Er Wa, hurry up and boil a bath for Mother. I, your Mother, can't stand it." Lin Qing He called out as soon as she reached home.
She won't be able to sleep without a wash tonight!
