Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The next day, Wang Dashan sent Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan back to Shanggou Village.

Although it was a Monday and he was busy with work, Wang Dashan still made time to personally drive them back.

All the way, Wang Zhanggen kept a stern face, clearly unhappy.

Wang Dashan could only pretend not to see.

After sending them back to Shanggou Village, Wang Dashan immediately returned to Guangzhou; Li Xiulan wanted him to stay for lunch, but he declined with the excuse of being busy with work.

But actually, no matter how busy work was, how busy could it really be?

Having lunch wouldn't actually affect anything.

Wang Dashan simply didn't want to stay and eat together.

It wasn't that he didn't want to eat with his mother; it was just that seeing his father Wang Zhanggen's face made him inevitably angry.

In the end Li Xiulan could only sigh once and not press anything further.

After Wang Dashan left, only the two old people remained at home.

"It's all your fault, why did you say those things to them?"

Li Xiulan couldn't help but complain to Wang Zhanggen, because she knew that due to Wang Zhanggen's gossiping, some estrangement had now arisen between them and their eldest son.

Wang Zhanggen, however, remained stubborn:

"Did I say something wrong? If Du Xiaojuan really can't bear children, Dashan should divorce her; what use is earning so much money if you can't have children!"

Li Xiulan said coldly:

"That's their own business, why do you meddle so much?"

"What do you mean their own business? Is managing my own son considered meddling? I'm not managing someone else's son!"

Li Xiulan was quite speechless and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Just be stubborn then; when all three sons get tired of you and none of them support you in your old age, see how you'll be stubborn!"

Wang Zhanggen immediately glared: "Do they dare?"

Li Xiulan gave a cold chuckle and said nothing more.

Wang Zhanggen was full of impatience.

He couldn't win this matter either; Wang Dashan was clearly siding with Du Xiaojuan, not with him as the father, which made him feel chilled and angry.

He didn't want to bring this up anymore; a father unable to manage his son would be a shame if outsiders found out.

So he changed the subject:

"By the way, Xiao Hua should be on winter vacation by now, why hasn't he come back?"

Li Xiulan said expressionlessly:

"How would I know? Maybe Xiao Hua is studying hard at school."

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"Call him and ask what's going on; don't let him be another white-eyed wolf who ignores his parents once he's successful!"

Li Xiulan said in an annoyed tone:

"What are you talking about? Is Xiao Hua that kind of person?"

Wang Zhanggen said: "He's the one who talks back to me the most; who knows if he's that kind of person? Hurry up and call him to ask what's happening!"

"Can't you call yourself?" Li Xiulan didn't want to make this call, because she knew Xiao Hua had grown up and had his own plans; if he wanted to come back, he would naturally come back.

"When has a father ever called his son? I tell you to call, so hurry up and call!" Wang Zhanggen had a big temper and urged strongly.

Actually, it was because even if he called Wang Xiaohua, he wouldn't know what to say to him.

He and Wang Xiaohua had no common topics at all; there was a huge chasm between father and son.

He didn't want to be unable to say a single word during the call, making himself embarrassed and a laughingstock.

Li Xiulan finally called Wang Xiaohua.

Soon, Wang Xiaohua answered.

"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Hua, are you doing well in Beijing?"

"Pretty well, Mom, you don't need to worry; the living conditions here are very good."

"Are you on winter vacation?"

"Yes."

"When do you plan to come back?"

"I'll come back closer to the New Year. The twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month. I still have some things to take care of here, so I won't be going back for now."

"Okay, okay, then study hard over there and take care of yourself."

"I know, Mom. Anything else?"

"No, that's all for now; take care of yourself."

"Okay, goodbye, Mom."

Li Xiulan hung up the phone, looked up at Wang Zhanggen and said:

"Xiao Hua says he'll come back closer to the New Year."

Wang Zhanggen smoked with his head down:

"Your wings have hardened, you don't want to go home anymore, I've raised you this big for nothing!"

Li Xiulan was quite speechless:

"It's not like you're not coming back, why are you so resentful!"

At this time, on the other side, Xiao Hua was eating at the canteen; he had just hung up Li Xiulan's phone call, and Li Jianjia sitting opposite him spoke up:

"Did your mom urge you to go back?"

Xiao Hua laughed:

"No, she just asked when I'm coming back, I said I'd wait until near the Spring Festival to go back."

Today Li Jianjia had just arrived in Beijing; originally she had planned to come find Xiao Hua on January 12th, but later because there were some matters at home, she went back home once and delayed some time.

Today was her first day coming to Beijing; when she arrived at Tsinghua University, it was already noon, so Xiao Hua took her to the canteen to eat.

Xiao Hua planned to go out with Li Jianjia tomorrow, today just wander around the campus; Tsinghua Campus is big enough, enough for the two of them to wander around one afternoon.

"I'm actually not very familiar with Beijing, haven't gone out to play much; did you make any guides before you came?"

Xiao Hua said this sentence to Li Jianjia.

Li Jianjia answered with a smile:

"It's fine even if not familiar, anyway just go out and wander around casually, the Great Wall, Wangfujing, Tiananmen, most importantly is being able to go wander around with you; I also didn't make any guides, we'll go wherever we end up; facing the unknown is more surprising; planning too well, following routine, instead becomes tasteless."

Xiao Hua then said:

"How about we go climb the Great Wall tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Li Jianjia responded with a smile, then asked again:

"By the way, where should I stay tonight?"

Xiao Hua was stunned.

Accommodation was indeed a big problem.

If Li Jianjia were a male, perhaps she could go to Xiao Hua's dorm and make do for a night, because now Wen Lingyun and Wei Qian had both left school, only Wan Zhiyuan this experiment maniac still lived in the dorm, and there were two empty beds in the dorm.

But the problem was Li Jianjia was a female; letting her stay in the dorm was definitely not appropriate.

"How about I book you a hotel near the school, book it on Ctrip, it shouldn't be expensive."

Li Jianjia nodded:

"Okay, okay."

So the two of them looked at hotels while eating.

After finishing eating, they had also looked at enough.

They chose a small inn costing over two hundred yuan for one night, paid on the mobile phone and submitted the order.

Then they dragged their luggage and went off-campus together.

First check into the room, put down all the luggage, then go back to school to tour the campus.

When they arrived at the inn, the front desk service staff asked them to show ID cards, registered them, then gave them room cards.

"Little handsome guy, register your ID card too."

After the front desk service staff finished registering Li Jianjia's ID card, she said this to Xiao Hua.

"Mine needs to be registered too?"

Xiao Hua was somewhat surprised, then hurriedly said: "Only she is staying here, I'm not staying here……"

Li Jianjia however hurriedly pulled him, saying:

"Since they ask you to register, just register; don't quibble over such a small matter."
