Chapter 5
It was late at night when Ling's mother was picked up from the airport, and both mother and daughter had caught a day's flight, and they had no intention of talking, especially Ling Xiquan, who was already too tired to go home when she got home, and fell asleep after washing, and slept until noon the next day. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
Maybe it was because he hadn't seen his daughter for too long, Ling's father and Ling's mother rarely didn't go to work, when Ling Xiquan stretched his waist and went downstairs, Ling's mother was kneeling in front of the sea of tea to make tea, and Ling's father leaned on the sofa next to him flipping through today's newspaper.
Ling Xiquan thought that he had slept until this hour, and his parents must have left early unexpectedly, but he didn't expect to see such a quiet and bustling picture, so he stopped in surprise, Ling's father glanced at his afterglow and found his daughter who walked down from upstairs, immediately put down the newspaper, stood up happily, and beckoned, "Baby wake up, hurry, come on." β
Ling's mother also saw her, and glanced at her husband funny, "People are in their forties, can you be more stable?" β
"I'm glad I'm back, baby." Father Ling waved his hand absentmindedly, and when he saw his daughter coming over, he hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Are you hungry?" β
Hearing Father Ling's question, Ling Xiquan touched his empty stomach and nodded, "I'm a little hungry." β
"You heard, Xiaoxi is hungry, why don't you hurry up and cook?" Ling Mu raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, yes." Father Ling immediately stood up, "Baby, then you sit down for a while, Dad will make you something to eat." He rubbed Ling Xiquan's hair lovingly, and when he passed his wife, he looked at her with a resentful look, as if to say, you only know that I was sent to do this and that, why don't you go to cook?
Ling Mu's face did not change and placed the tea set, "Don't look at me, I can't leave making tea." β
"Okay, okay, I'll do it." Father Ling sighed resignedly, and walked towards the kitchen with a bitter face.
Looking at the interaction between his parents, Ling Xiquan couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.
In front of Mom, Dad is always the one who eats deflated.
Since I can remember, as long as they are together as a family, it will always be a harmonious and warm scene.
And the years also seem to be extraordinarily tolerant of their parents, it is hard to imagine that the two people who are busy all year round look like young people in their twenties, only the stability and momentum of the years of precipitation, which are revealed from time to time.
Speaking of which, although her parents have spent less time with her since she was a child, she can still be called happy, right?
"What are you smiling at?" Ling Mu saw her grinning silently and raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing." Ling Xiquan's face immediately straightened, "Mom, I'll go to the National University in the afternoon." β
"In such a hurry?" Ling Mu's eyes were surprised, but the movements of her hands were smooth and elegant, "Didn't you say that you would only report it next Monday?" β
"I want to get acquainted with the environment first."
"I just came back yesterday, and today I went to familiarize myself with the environment, and I am not afraid of being tired." Ling's mother shook her head slightly, "Speaking of which, Xiaoxi, my mother is not against you coming back, and my mother is happy when you come back, it's just that no matter how good the universities here are, they can't compare to the United States, and you studied well there, why do you suddenly want to go back to China to study?" You say, how can you do this as an exchange student, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes. β
It's not what she thinks.
"Mom, I don't want to see what universities in China are like."
"You kid, at the beginning, your father and I didn't have to ask you to go to your aunt to study, but I suddenly said that I wanted to go, and my attitude was so resolute, so we sent you over. What now? I ran back for this reason, and you said you weren't just tossing. β
Seeing Ling's mother frowning, Ling Xiquan hurriedly smiled and came to her side, "Oh, Mom, anyway...... Anyway, I'm almost done with the credits in the United States, and I'll be waiting to graduate when I go back next year, so I can relax when I come back this time, so don't be angry. β
"You." Ling Mu reached out and nodded her forehead dissatisfiedly, "You can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, willful." She looked at her daughter sitting next to her, and she hadn't seen her for many years, although she had also spoken and video over the years, but the most important years of growth were not able to witness it with her own eyes after all, and she looked at it again in a blink of an eye, and she had become a big girl.
Thinking of this, Ling's mother's tone softened, "Since you have made a plan, your mother is not verbose, you must know that since you were a child, although your parents have not been able to accompany you all the time, we have always respected your decisions, and there are some things that you can do with yourself." β
"I see, Mom." Ling Xiquan's heart warmed, and he stuck out his tongue mischievously.
"How old are you, and do some childish things." Seeing this, Ling's mother said a word to her, but instead of being as strict as when she was a child, she showed a faint smile.
After lunch, Ling's father and mother went out to the company, and Ling Xiquan took a nap to push them to send him to the National University by the way, until there was no one in the huge family, and she didn't go upstairs to the room, lying on the soft sofa, staring at the relief ceiling.
All of a sudden, I didn't want to go anywhere.
After a moment of empty brains, she kept her lying position, took the mobile phone on the coffee table, and dialed a string of numbers.
Soon, it was picked up over thereβ
"Hello?" The noisy vocals and rock music, along with the girl's slightly drunk voice, came clearly from the other end of the phone, Ling Xiquan subconsciously glanced at the time on the mobile phone screen, and when he put it back to his ear, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Xie Xiaoyue, what time is it now, where are you fooling around?"
There was a pause, and then he asked loudly, "Ling Xiquan?!" Why didn't you know how to talk to us when you arrived yesterday? I don't know if we're going to be worried! Where are you now? What are you doing? Did you go home? β
She moved her phone away from her ear a little, "How do you want me to answer so many questions, my phone broke yesterday and I couldn't contact you, plus my mom came back, my dad and I picked her up and went home in the middle of the night, I was too tired to sleep, this is not today my dad just bought me a mobile phone, I called you." β
Hearing this, Xie Xiaoyue's tone eased, "So that's the case, then you're at home now?" β
The noise on the other end was much quieter, and I guess I had walked to a quiet place.
"yes," she leaned back on the couch in all sorts of boredom, "by the way, what about Zixinren?" Also fooling around with you in the bar? β
"Zixin......" Xie Xiaoyue dragged a long voice meaningfully, "She ran to find you this morning." β
"What?" She sat up in shock.
"That's right, count...... It's late at night, she should be there by now, right? Xie Xiaoyue's tone was a little gloating, "But she definitely didn't expect your phone to be broken and you changed your number, and it is estimated that you will be in a hurry at the airport." β
