Chapter 521

After having a meal with his future father-in-law and Zhao Mingyuan, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan rested in Jiangcheng for one night and drove back to Yucheng the next morning.

After sending Xia Nuannuan home first, Qin Tian originally wanted to go back, but was warmly persuaded by the family to stay for lunch, and Xia Nuannuan's cousin Xia Xue, who had come over to play, even pulled him and wouldn't let him leave.

There was no other way; Qin Tian could only agree.

Xia Xue's high school entrance exam results had just come out not long ago. She had studied hard for the past six months, and with Xia Nuannuan often calling to urge and tutor her, she had done quite well, and getting into a key high school was no problem.

Grandma and his future mother-in-law were busy in the kitchen, while the three of them sat in the living room chatting with the old man.

Xia Xue and Xia Nuannuan were huddled together, browsing through the various photos they had taken during their self-driving tour for over half a month with envy.

"Sister, this one looks so good!"

"Right? This was at an attraction on a mountain in Guizhou Province, the scenery is very good."

"What about this one? Where is this? Slurp... this looks so delicious."

"This was in Rongcheng, our classmate took us to eat Maocai, it was so delicious, just a bit spicy!"

"Wuwu... I'm so envious, I should have gone with you guys!"

Xia Xue pouted pitifully, regretting it in her heart.

At that time, she knew they were going on a self-driving tour and had thought about following them with a thick skin.

But she had just finished the high school entrance exam not long ago, and her parents told her to rest at home and wait for the results first, so she dismissed the idea.

As a result, she had been bored to death at home for over half a month.

"Next time, if there's a chance next time, I'll take you with us."

Xia Nuannuan smiled.

"Sister, it's a deal then!"

Xia Xue looked at her seriously.

"It's a deal."

Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile.

"Xiaoxue, which high school are you planning to go to? Have you decided yet?"

Qin Tian cracked a melon seed and asked casually.

Xia Xue looked at him and smiled sweetly: "Brother Tian, I plan to go to No. 4 Middle School like you and my sister!"

"That's great, your score is definitely enough."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

"Hee hee... I've already agreed with Uncle and Auntie. When the time comes, I'll live in the house that Sister Nuan Nuan and Auntie lived in before."

Xia Xue said excitedly.

"You're living alone? Isn't your mom coming with you?"

Xia Nuannuan asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I don't want her to come. I can do it alone. Anyway, I'll just eat in the school canteen or outside."

"Didn't your mom say she would take care of you for the college entrance exam?"

"She did, but I didn't let her. Let's talk about it when I'm in the third year of high school. Let me be independent and free for two years first."

Thinking of her upcoming high school life, Xia Xue's face bloomed with a smile.

"Don't be in such a hurry to be happy. When you actually live alone for a few days, you might be begging your mom to come and take care of you."

Qin Tian teased with a smile.

"Not at all, I can do it alone."

Xia Xue retorted firmly.

Old Man Xia had a kind smile on his face and said: "It's fine to let you live alone, but you have to be self-disciplined. Go back after school at night, and don't let your grades slip."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll definitely follow Brother Tian and Sister Nuan Nuan's example, study hard, and get into a good university."

Xia Xue patted her chest and promised.

"Hahaha... good, Grandpa believes in you."

The old man nodded with a smile.

"Sister, there's still a month of vacation, let me stay here and play with you guys!"

Xia Xue requested to Xia Nuannuan with a smile.

"Sure!"

Xia Nuannuan agreed readily.

"Ooh... that's great, thank you, Sister."

Xia Xue cheered, hugged her arm affectionately, and said: "Let's keep looking at the photos. I'll help you choose, and we'll print out all the good ones."

"Mmm!"

After having lunch at the Xia family, Qin Tian drove home.

His mom was watching TV at home, and after hearing the car, she hurriedly got up and came to the door.

"Mom, have you eaten?"

Qin Tian got out of the car and asked with a smile.

After he promised to stay at the Xia family for lunch, his future mother-in-law called his mom and asked her to go over together, but his mom politely declined.

"I ate, I cooked some noodles."

Tang Xiuxia answered casually, her tone a bit resentful: "You two had a comfortable time playing, it's been almost a month."

Her son finally had a holiday, but he went out to travel after staying at home for only a few days, and he had been gone for so long, so she still missed him a bit.

It was better now that Qin Hongwen called to chat every day, and occasionally went out shopping with Su Xia, otherwise, she might be very lonely at home alone.

"I asked you to go together at that time, but you didn't want to!"

Qin Tian heard the complaint in his mother's words and smiled helplessly.

"You two went out to travel, should I go and be a third wheel?"

Tang Xiuxia rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Come, come, come, look at the specialties and gifts we brought you."

Qin Tian changed the subject and walked toward the back of the car.

"What specialties? I told you not to buy things randomly. Those so-called specialties are basically just to cheat tourists' money, and none of them are delicious."

Tang Xiuxia complained, but her feet were very honest as she walked over quickly.

"You haven't even eaten them, how do you know they aren't delicious? Besides, we didn't just bring food; there are many good things."

Qin Tian said while opening the trunk.

Xia Nuannuan's luggage, as well as the things brought for her future mother-in-law, grandpa, and grandma, had already been taken out and given to them.

The trunk was still filled with more than half the space, all for his mom.

"So much? Is it all for me?"

Tang Xiuxia looked at her son with surprise.

"Mmm, it's all yours. Nuan Nuan's part has already been taken out."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

Tang Xiuxia was overjoyed, the slight resentment just now vanished, but her face showed an indifferent expression, and she asked: "What are these things?"

"These are specialties from various places. These are some souvenirs from attractions, such as small accessories suitable for you, water cups, etc. Basically, Nuan Nuan helped pick them out."

Qin Tian introduced briefly.

"Nuan Nuan is thoughtful."

Tang Xiuxia nodded with a smile.

"I'll help you take them inside and put them in the room, and you can look at them slowly."

"Alright, take them in!"

And so, Qin Tian took a pile of things into the house.

After discussing with his mother, he took two bags of honey that were good for the elderly's health, as well as some specialty snacks, and sent them to Uncle Sun and Grandma Liu next door.

Uncle Sun was not at home, he should have gone fishing.

Grandma Liu declined repeatedly, but still accepted the gift, and then pulled him to chat for a while.

After Qin Tian returned home, he came to his mother's room door and peeked inside, and saw his mom holding her phone, taking photos of the various specialties and gifts laid out on the sofa.

"Mom, are you going to post this on Moments?"

He asked with a chuckle.

"Ah?"

Tang Xiuxia was startled and glared at him in annoyance: "Post what on Moments? I'm just taking a photo!"

"Then take your time, I'm going to the back room to take a nap."

Qin Tian didn't expose his proud mother, grinned, and headed toward his room in the back.
