The next day, Lu Yang was awakened by Gu Xiaowan's phone call.
Gu Xiaowan asked him to pack his things early and then go to Huyu Campus to pick them up.
Lu Yang had no choice but to wake up Meng Xiaopeng first.
"Lao Meng, get up quickly. Damn it, your feet really stink. They stink as much as the national football team. They stunk me all night last night."
Meng Xiaopeng curled up in bed and chuckled.
If he wears those thick sneakers, his feet will get stinky in winter.
He used to wash his feet every night in the dormitory, but he was too tired from running with Lu Yang yesterday and didn't bother to wash his feet.
In the cold morning, everyone wants to stay in bed for a while longer.
But today was the day to go home. They were all a little excited and packed their things neatly.
Compared to Meng Xiaopeng's large and small bags, Lu Yang only has one shoulder bag.
"Lu Yang, where is your luggage?"
"I sent it back by postal parcel."
Meng Xiaopeng looked at his heavy luggage and decided to do the same next time.
Otherwise, carrying heavy luggage would be a torture for him every time he takes the train.
After packing their things, they came downstairs from the dormitory and took a taxi directly to find Gu Xiaowan.
Gu Xiaowan and Lin Ziwei got up even earlier, and when Lu Yang and Meng Xiaopeng came over, they were already waiting at the door.
Gu Xiaowan held the soy milk and Xiao Long Bao in her hands, and waited for Lu Yang and Meng Xiaopeng to come over and handed the steamed buns to them.
"You guys should have some breakfast first. Ziwei and I have eaten before the train leaves."
Lu Yang and Meng Xiaopeng also squatted on the ground and started chewing.
Gu Xiaowan was worried that Lu Yang would choke on the bun, so she thoughtfully handed him the water glass.
Lin Ziwei was also surprised when she saw that Lu Yang only had a shoulder bag.
"Lu Yang, don't you take your luggage home?"
"I'm sending a courier back."
At this time, Gu Xiaowan's phone rang.
Lu Yang knew as soon as he heard the call that it was Gu Xianming. He must have told Gu Xiaowan on the phone to remember to buy food and pay attention to safety on the road.
Compared to Gu Xiaowan's parents, who were meticulous and caring, Lu Yang's parents treated him like a free rein.
Shen Lijuan called him the night before yesterday and asked him when he would come back and what kind of transportation he would take.
After Lu Yang said a few words, Shen Lijuan hung up the phone.
After Meng Xiaopeng and Lu Yang had breakfast, they took a taxi to the train station.
When buying tickets this time, Lu Yang didn't buy a sleeper berth. He bought seat tickets, which were better than standing tickets.
Anyone who often rides trains knows that people who buy station tickets will grab a seat at the junction of the carriages and bring a small pony with them so that they can sit comfortably.
If there is no space at the connection between carriages, it will be very painful for those who hold standing tickets.
At the train station, you can see the joys and sorrows of the world.
There was a woman carrying a swaddled baby on her back, holding a four- or five-year-old child in her left hand, and a heavy luggage bag in her right hand.
It's hard to imagine how a woman can survive such a difficult journey.
After they got on the bus, they sat in their seats.
On the journey home, if you have a few friends to accompany you, at least you won't be lonely.
Mobile phones don’t have rich functions, so I basically rely on newspapers and chatting.
Gu Xiaowan was a little excited. She and Lin Ziwei chatted about gossip and anecdotes.
Lu Yang was chatting with Meng Xiaopeng, but after a while, he joined the middle-aged men next to him about international events.
They talked about everything from the Yinlak crisis to the United Nations Security Council, from bird flu to the Baghdad bombing.
How to say that?
With such a humble position, I dare not forget about worrying about my country. The matter is settled and I still have to wait for the coffin to be closed.
...
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when the train entered Mingjiang City.
Lu Yang helped Gu Xiaowan carry the luggage, and the four of them, Meng Xiaopeng and Lin Ziwei, walked out of the station.
People outside cheered and gathered around.
"Little brother, where are you going?"
"Whether Yang County can leave or not, there are only two people left!"
In the past, Meng Xiaopeng didn't like the atmosphere of the train station, but now hearing the familiar accent, he feels particularly friendly.
Gu Xianming and Liu Yuqing had been waiting here for a long time. They saw Gu Xiaowan coming out of the station and came to greet her.
Lin Ziwei's parents have to go to work and don't have time to pick her up. Lu Yang and Meng Xiaopeng are both young men and they can go back by themselves.
This shows their family status.
Gu Xianming took the suitcase from Lu Yang, and Liu Yuqing asked if they were tired.
Originally, Gu Xianming was going to send them all back, but later he realized that he had too much luggage to fit in the car.
In accordance with the principle of ladies first, Lu Yang let Lin Ziwei take the car away, and he and Meng Xiaopeng took the bus back.
Before leaving, Gu Xiaowan turned around and waved to Lu Yang.
She and Lu Yang made a secret agreement to have a good date after things stabilized in the past few days.
When Lu Yang returned home, he found that his mother was watching TV at home and living a leisurely and slow-paced life.
"My son is back. Take out the dirty clothes from your bag and throw them on the balcony. They will be washed for you tomorrow."
This can be regarded as my mother's only way of greeting her.
While Lu Yang was changing his shoes, Shen Lijuan looked at her son.
Well, there is no difference from when I left on the 11th, which means that I am doing well in school.
When Lu Yang was in junior high school, Shen Lijuan wanted to wait on her behind her butt.
After high school, Lu Yang became more independent and Shen Lijuan rarely interfered.
Now that she is in college, she doesn't need to worry too much.
Shen Lijuan asked: "What do you want to eat tonight? Noodles or steamed buns."
Lu Yang was dissatisfied: "This is the only food we have when we come back. It's hard food after all."
"There is a Daokou roast chicken in the refrigerator. Your uncle brought it yesterday. We didn't want to eat it, so we saved it for you."
"That's pretty much it."
Lu Yang sat down on the sofa and put his feet on the coffee table.
Well, the sofa at home is more comfortable.
He took the train for a whole day and his back ached.
Shen Lijuan glanced at it, her son had just come home, so she had better bear with it for now.
She quietly moved the melon seed plate on the coffee table further away from Lu Yang's feet.
"Mom, is there any gossip at home recently?"
"Uncle Liu next door had a falling out with his two sons."
"Why?"
"Both their sons wanted him to live in the city. The eldest son wanted him to live in Yanjing, and the second son wanted him to live in Bingzhou."
"Isn't this a good thing? It shows that the son is filial."
"But the eldest son lives in Bingzhou, and the second son lives in Yanjing."
Lu Yang:......
He chatted with his mother for a while at home and was going to visit Lao Lu's factory and give him guidance on Lao Lu's development ideas and direction.
Shen Lijuan called Lu Yang to stop.
"Son, have you ever had a relationship at school?"
"what."
"There is a colleague in your second uncle's work. Her daughter is also studying in university in the provincial capital. I would like to introduce you to her."
"native?"
"Well, my parents are both employees of the company, and I am the only daughter in the family."
"Forget it, I don't want to have so many emotional entanglements."
Gu Xiaowan is a local. What if he meets the other party and Gu Xiaowan sees him?
In a small town like Mingjiang, it's not appropriate to hang out with too many girls.
Shen Lijuan thought that her son was only a freshman now, and falling in love too early would affect his studies, so she didn't force it...
