When Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling returned home, they found that there was still light next door.
I saw Xiao Ranran sitting on the mat playing with toys, and Liu Ying was helping to pack a bag of clothes, while murmuring: "I have been away for several months, and the weather is getting colder day by day, so I have to bring more clothes."
Cheng Tianfang was busy packing her things while saying hello.
Xue Ling walked in and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry about collecting too much. It's only more than two hours' drive anyway, and I often go to the provincial capital. I'll just help Xiaofang take it there."
She would go to the provincial capital every ten or twenty days, occasionally to receive goods, and occasionally to reconcile the accounts with Ahu.
Anyway, the school is not far from the wholesale market, so she can just take a drive there.
"That's right!" Cheng Tianfang said happily: "How come I forgot about my sister-in-law! Mom, keep all the winter ones. I'll just bring some thin shirts and autumn clothes. My sister-in-law will go to the provincial capital in a while and bring some for me.
.Otherwise, if there are too many, it will be troublesome to carry them tomorrow."
Liu Ying looked at her angrily and whispered: "Your sister-in-law is going to work, not to play. Besides, the weather is already getting cold in the morning and evening, so you should bring one or two thick layers with you."
"Okay." Cheng Tianfang agreed quickly.
When Xiao Ranran saw her father and mother, she clapped happily, stood up neatly, and ran towards them quickly and staggeringly.
Cheng Tianyuan leaned down and picked him up easily.
Xiao Ranran hugged his neck and looked at her mother on the other side.
"Mom~"
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Tomorrow, my father and mother will send my aunt to the provincial capital to study. You stay at home with your grandma tomorrow. You have to be good, you know?"
Xiao Ranran seemed to understand, and looked at her grandma and nodded obediently.
Liu Ying smiled lovingly and said, "I'll get up early to make breakfast tomorrow, and you'll be full before setting off. By the way, your father bought you a military-colored bag yesterday, and I'll get it for you."
Cheng Muhai was very happy when he heard that his daughter had passed the entrance examination of the Water and Electric Power College.
However, he was not very good at expressing his emotions, so he went to the department store to buy a bag. He also took the two hundred yuan that he usually saved for frugally and gave it to Liu Ying and asked her to hand it to her daughter.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Check everything and leave early tomorrow morning. Mom, we took Xiao Ranran back to the next door."
"Okay!" Liu Ying responded from inside the room.
That night, Cheng Tianfang checked his luggage and schoolbag and was busy until very late before going to bed.
Early the next morning, Liu Ying got up to make breakfast.
Xiao Ranran was still sleeping, Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan got up quietly, washed up, and walked out to have breakfast.
"Where's Ah Fang? Why haven't you come to eat yet?" Cheng Tianyuan asked Liu Ying.
Liu Ying replied: "I shouted just now, but I don't know why I haven't come over yet. This damn girl probably went to bed too late last night and couldn't get up!"
Xue Ling said: "It's okay, I'll go and urge her."
She went around to the next door and opened the door - both the living room and the house were quiet.
She stepped forward and knocked on Cheng Tianfang's door. After knocking several times, Cheng Tianfang opened the door with sleepy eyes.
"sister in law?"
Xue Ling explained with a wry smile: "It's almost seven o'clock. Brush your teeth and wash your face quickly. Come over and have breakfast."
"Ah!" Cheng Tianfang was extremely embarrassed and said, "I don't know what happened last night, but I couldn't fall asleep! My mother called me earlier, and I responded in a daze, then turned over and fell asleep again."
Xue Ling chuckled: "When you go to school on the first day, you will definitely be too excited to sleep. When school starts next semester, you should calm down."
Cheng Tianfang hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face, changed her clothes in a hurry, and ran next door to have breakfast.
She was late, and a mother would inevitably have to nag her.
Cheng Tianfang didn't dare to reply and buried her head in eating.
Xue Ling on the side smiled and said: "Mom, it's only ten minutes late. Anyway, we have our own car. It doesn't matter if it's a little later or a little earlier."
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Stop saying a few words and sit down to eat. Xiao Ran will wake up soon, and you have to eat first."
After Liu Ying heard what they said, she didn't want to nag her daughter any more, so she sat down to eat.
Cheng Tianfang felt warm when she saw her brother and sister-in-law speaking for her.
Although it's not a big deal, it shows that they care about themselves.
After eating, it was already half past seven.
Cheng Tianyuan went over to help unpack the luggage, while Xue Ling helped Xiao Ranran change her clothes and wash her face.
"Mom, you and Xiao Ranran should go downstairs together."
Liu Ying said with a smile: "It's not like she's a guest. She needs to be sent somewhere! It's good enough that you go with her as big brothers and sisters-in-law. Ranran and I can stay here."
Cheng Tianfang hugged Xiao Ranran and kissed her again and again, baby come, baby go.
"Auntie will miss her very much like Xiaoran~ Xiaoranran misses her so much!"
Xiao Ranran couldn't understand and giggled.
Liu Ying hugged Xiao Ranran back and urged: "Okay, don't wait any longer. Take the thin sweater your sister-in-law gave you. You will probably have to wear it after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xue Ling went to the post office a while ago and picked up several thin sweaters. The styles were very beautiful. She gave two to Cheng Tianfang, planning to keep two for herself and give the others to Wang Qing and Chen Shuiyu.
"Already brought it." Cheng Tianfang said with a smile: "You have already said it five times!"
Liu Ying looked at her angrily and said, "Just take it with you. Let's go quickly!"
The family closed the door and entered the elevator.
Soon, they came downstairs and found Cheng Muhai squatting on the outside of two jeeps, smoking silently.
"Dad!" Cheng Tianfang shouted.
Cheng Muhai raised his head, stood up, and threw away the burning cigarette butt in his hand, with no big expression on his face.
"Have everything been put away?"
Cheng Tianfang quickly replied: "Everything is fine. My brother and sister-in-law will go with me. They will come back in the evening after I have settled in."
Liu Ying came forward with her grandson in her arms and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have a car at home and can go back and forth on the same day. Lingling knows the road and can drive the car all the way to the gate of her school."
When Cheng Muhai saw Xiaoran, he suddenly showed a loving smile and hugged the little guy.
"That's good! You, when you go to school, you should listen to the teacher more, study hard, take good care of your body, don't be lazy, let alone do anything that violates discipline."
"I know, Dad!" Cheng Tianfang nodded hastily.
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, my sister-in-law knows what's going on."
"Yeah." Cheng Muhai said warmly: "Ling Ling, thank you for your hard work. Send her there quickly."
"Hey!" Xue Ling waved to his son and said with a smile: "My parents are sending my aunt to school. You and your grandparents are waiting for us to come back at home."
Xiao Ranran quickly imitated her mother's example and tried her best to wave.
Everyone laughed one after another.
Cheng Tianyuan started the car and drove away slowly.
Xue Ling noticed that Cheng Tianfang was looking behind her, her eyes were red, and she almost cried. He couldn't help but persuade her: "It will happen if you don't get used to it at first, but it will get better gradually."
Cheng Tianfang suddenly swallowed harder and whispered: "Sister-in-law, when you left the imperial capital to marry us, you must have felt even more uncomfortable, right? You were so far away..."
Xue Ling patted her shoulder and chuckled: "It was really hard at first, but it will get better as you slowly integrate into the new family. When the children grow up, they will have their own new lives and families. Fortunately, the transportation is convenient now.
If you want to go back anytime, we can meet you in a few hours."
"That's right." Cheng Tianfang wiped her tears and said with a smile, "If I come back, I can see my parents and you in a few hours."
"I usually call home when I feel homesick." Xue Ling explained: "There is a public phone in the school, and you can call it as long as you pay."
"Really?! That's great!" Cheng Tianfang changed his look of deep separation and asked excitedly about the new school.
