The long vacation finally came to an end.
August 30th is the day for freshmen registration at Yunhai University.
Early in the morning, Li Jinqiu got up and helped his son pack his luggage.
As the saying goes, the dumplings were made by the old couple last night.
The filling is made of pork and green onion, which is my son’s favorite.
In order to send his son to register for college, Chen Jianye specially changed classes with his colleagues today.
I saw my wife making dumplings alone in the kitchen, and she secretly wiped away tears while doing so.
Chen Jianye couldn't help but scolded in a low voice.
"Why are you crying? It's obviously a good thing. Your son is going to be successful. You should laugh."
Li Jinqiu wiped the corners of his eyes.
"My son has never traveled far since he was a child..."
"Okay, okay, how old is our son? We should have learned to let go a long time ago."
"With a doting mother like you, my son will never have much success in his life."
Li Jinqiu glared at her husband fiercely.
"You don't dote on him? I don't know who was worried about his son being unsafe on the road last night. He was worried and insisted on going with him."
Chen Jianye's face turned red when his wife exposed him.
He gave his wife a hard look.
"Okay. My son is up, wipe it quickly, don't let your son see it."
During the meal, Li Jinqiu sat aside and couldn't eat at all. He just kept asking his son about various problems.
"I've sewn the tuition fee into the lining of your clothes for you. You must take it with you."
"Tuition fees and living expenses are separated. You should hold your schoolbag in your arms in the car and don't talk to strangers casually..."
"The weather will get cooler soon, so be sure to wear long johns..."
"Also, you must get along well with your classmates in school."
"Especially the classmates in the dormitory. Don't fight..."
Li Jinqiu babbled, while Chen Fan kept his head down and ate while humming.
To be honest, Chen Fan would have felt bored by his mother's nagging in his previous life.
But after experiencing the death of a loved one, Chen Fan only felt extremely happy at this moment.
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Jianye on the side couldn't help but frown.
"I've been rambling for a long time, but you've already talked enough about my son. I can't say anything important."
Li Jinqiu glared at her husband.
"Then you say it's important."
Chen Jianye looked at his son and warned him.
"You must remember to tell your family if your living expenses are not enough."
Li Jinqiu reacted immediately.
"Yeah."
"If you don't have enough living expenses, just tell mom and she will go to the post office to remit money to you."
"If you need anything, call your second aunt directly. Your father has already called someone to install the landline. When our phone is installed, I will ask your second aunt to tell you the number..."
"Yeah, parents, I've written it all down."
Chen Fan smiled and looked up at the two elders.
"Don't worry, the living expenses will definitely be enough."
"And I have already planned that when I settle down in college, I will find a part-time job to train myself while studying."
Li Jinqiu was a little worried: "Part-time job? Don't be fooled..."
Chen Jianye glared at his wife directly.
"Okay. Just can't say anything nice."
After speaking, he looked at his son again.
"I'm considering the part-time job. Although my parents are poor, they can still afford to support you through college."
"Your task now is to study hard."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also knew that he couldn't argue on this kind of thing.
So he nodded vaguely to show that he understood.
The old couple explained some things again.
Finally, Chen Fan finished two plates of dumplings and it was time to set off.
Li Jinqiu was a little worried.
"Xiao Fan, do you really don't need your dad to go with you?"
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.
"No need."
"Mom and Dad, look at me, I'm already so old. If I have to be accompanied by my parents even when I register for college, then what can I do in this life?"
"It's time for me to be independent and self-reliant in college. I decided to train myself from now on."
Seeing that his mother was still a little worried, Chen Fan could only smile and comfort her.
"Mom, besides, I'm not alone. Isn't there Guo Shuai as well?"
"He is also studying at Yunhai University. We will go together."
"My son is right."
Chen Jianye looked at his son with admiration.
It feels like my son has finally grown up.
But in the end, he couldn't help but secretly told Chen Fan to pay attention to safety on the road.
Chen Fan's luggage is not much, just a large suitcase and a backpack.
Chen Fan didn't bring anything with him except for a quilt.
When going out, dad Chen Jianye was carrying the suitcase, and mom Li Jinqiu was carrying the schoolbag.
Chen Fan followed behind alone and locked the courtyard door.
Go down the road and finally come to the stop sign of the village road.
Along the way, I met many familiar neighbors.
"Xiaofan goes to school?"
"You're a college student. I heard it's a famous university..."
People in the village would always greet them warmly, and at this time Chen Jianye would chat with everyone with a smile.
"Sending my son to college."
"That's right, the university has started, I'll see him off..."
Although he said it casually, he could feel that this was perhaps one of the proudest moments in his life as a father.
The bus to the county town arrived. Chen Jianye loaded his suitcase on the bus, while Li Jinqiu handed his schoolbag to his son.
Chen Fan held his schoolbag and waved to the two of them.
"Mom and Dad, please go back. I'm leaving."
Li Jinqiu's eyes turned red.
"Be safe on the road, and call your second aunt's house when we get there."
"Hey, I got it."
As the bus started, Chen Fan could see through the window that his parents were still standing on the roadside, waving with their hands raised.
Chen Fan's eyes turned red and tears almost came out of his eyes.
My mother’s hair already has black hair, and my father’s spine has become rickety...
The son has grown up, but the years have bent the bodies of the two elders.
Looking at the two people's figures gradually moving away, Chen Fan thought silently in his heart.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will let you live the happiest life in this life."
In his previous life, his two elders died too early and he did not enjoy the blessing of a son. This has always been one of Chen Fan's inner regrets.
In this life, he will never allow such regret to happen again.
Along the way, I arrived at the bus terminal in the county town with a touch of sadness.
Guo Shuai has been waiting here for a long time.
This guy was driven here by his father.
In order to report with Chen Fan, this boy directly refused his parents' request to drive to Yunhai.
"Brother Fan, you are too slow. I almost smoked a pack of cigarettes."
Once this guy went to college, he finally no longer had to smoke secretly.
His whole face was full of excitement, like a bird being let out of a cage.
"Hurry up, I bought the ticket a long time ago. Get on the bus quickly."
Guo Shuai rushed up to help Chen Fan drag the suitcase.
Chen Fan glanced at this guy doubtfully.
"Where's your luggage? Just a schoolbag?"
Guo Shuai chuckled.
"You don't understand this, brother has this."
He said and patted his schoolbag.
"I have enough money with me to buy new ones when I go to college."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head speechlessly.
"I hope you like the quilt issued by the school..."
"What?"
"Nothing, just get in the car quickly."
Guo Shuai glanced around.
"Where's Su Ruochu?"
"Why hasn't sister-in-law come yet?"
Then he looked at Chen Fan, "Didn't we agree that we should set off together?"
"I even bought her ticket."
Chen Fan's expression froze slightly and he sighed.
"Let's go. She should be sent to college by her family."
"Won't you come with us?"
Guo Shuai was confused and looked at Chen Fan in surprise.
"No, no, no, no..."
"There's something wrong with your expression."
Guo Shuai suddenly caught up with him.
"Hey, what's going on? Please tell me..."
