After the final exams, everyone went to school for a few more days, and on the last day, only half of the morning was required.
After school, the parents of the three little ones appeared in the huge crowd of parents.
Mei Fang's father Mei Lijun and his sister Mei Ya, Xia Yuan's father Xia Xun, Lin Youxi's father Lin Guochuan and stepmother Liang Meijuan who has been taking care of the three little ones.
This was the first time that Lin Guochuan came to Jiangcheng with the team to visit Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School where Lin Youxi studied.
He is usually very busy with work and hasn't seen his daughter for half a year, so he thought he could come visit her at the end of the semester.
So he worked very hard to complete the project and finally caught up with the holiday, and took Mei Lijun's car to Jiangcheng.
Lin Youxi was also surprised to see her father coming, and immediately went up to talk to him. Liang Meijuan deliberately walked away a little to give the father and daughter some time alone.
Lin Youxi seemed a little angry.
"Dad, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Did you not eat well when you were alone at home?"
"Uh... okay."
"You already have stomach problems. This will be bad for your health. I think it would be better to let Aunt Meijuan take care of you at home for a while next semester."
"Ah... Then who will take care of you?"
Lin Youxi smiled slightly: "We can take care of ourselves now."
However, the only child who is willing to take the initiative to get close to his father is Lin Youxi.
For example, when Xia Yuan saw her father Xia Xun coming, she didn't react at all. The first thing she did was to run to be intimate with her younger sister Mei Ya.
"Sister Yuanyuan!"
Xia Yuan picked up the 9-year-old Mei Ya and said with a smile:
"Xiaoya, Sister Yuanyuan misses you so much. You've grown a lot taller."
Mei Ya was a little out of breath after being hugged by Xia Yuan:
"Sister Yuanyuan... you have become fatter... ah..."
Xia Yuan's face immediately turned red because of Mei Ya's leaky cotton jacket, and she didn't know what to say;
At this time, we still have to rely on our brother Mei's performance. He decided to teach his sister a lesson and gently tapped Mei Ya's head.
"Don't say Sister Yuanyuan is fat. Sister Yuanyuan has grown in size, okay?"
"Development?"
Mei Ya covered her head and looked at Xia Yuan, "So growth means Mimi is getting bigger... Xiao Ya learned it!"
"Don't learn this kind of thing!"
Xia Yuan blushed and scolded Mei Ya a few words. Mei Fang was watching the two of them being intimate on the side. At this time, Mei Lijun also came over.
"… "
"… "
The father and son looked at each other in silence for a while.
Usually when Mei Fang called, he would chat with his mother Xiang Xiaoxia. His father Mei Lijun hardly spoke to him, so much so that after not seeing each other for half a year, the two of them were speechless.
The first to break the silence was the old father Mei Lijun. He laughed dryly and patted Mei Fang on the shoulder. "Final exam... How did you do?"
"It's OK."
"What do you mean by okay? You were always in the top three or five in junior high school. I'm afraid you've fallen behind now, haven't you?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. This is different from the junior high school rankings."
"Tell me, is it in the top 10?"
"Well, No. 8."
"Oh, that's fine."
Mei Fang noticed something strange on Mei Lijun's head at this time. He suddenly stopped and seemed to not know what to say.
His face showed a desolate and sad expression, his mouth moved but no sound came out, and finally he uttered a sound with a trembling voice.
"Dad, you're bald!"
When Meili heard this word, he immediately became furious:
"It's just that I have less hair, but I'm not bald!"
"Look at where your hairline has moved to."
"All successful men are like this, right?"
After Xia Yuan finished being intimate with Mei Ya, she also started to speak for Mei Lijun.
"Ah Fang, don't say that! Uncle Mei is a big boss now and his work is very hard. This is normal."
"Yeah, Yuanyuan is still the best person to talk to..."
Meilijun had always been inclined towards Yuan's party since they were young, so naturally he had a lively chat with Xia Yuan.
Xia Xun watched his little boy happily chatting with another father, and felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
But he couldn't show it.
…
…
Xia Xun waited for his daughter to talk to him, but she held Mei Ya's hand all the way, leaned on Mei Fang's arm, and chatted with Mei Lijun with a smile.
Xia Xun finally got anxious and asked his daughter, "Ahem... Um, Yuanyuan, you only see your dad once in such a long time, why don't you want to say a few more words to him?"
"Hehe, Uncle Xia is jealous." Mei Ya covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Dad...can you please stop doing this?"
Xia Yuan was immediately embarrassed by Xia Xun's disgraceful behavior. She explained, "Xiao Ya and Uncle Mei won't be able to meet each other later. I'll have time to report to you and mom about my life in Jiangcheng when I get back."
"Um... I know, I know."
Xia Xun touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "It's getting late, let's go have a meal together first? It's my treat today, kids, just tell me what you want to eat."
At this time, Xiao Meiya immediately ran to Xia Xun upon hearing the news and pulled the corner of Xia Xun's clothes in a very coquettish tone:
"Uncle Xia, Uncle Xia, can we eat mutton? I want to eat the big fat sheep's mutton hotpot. I've always wanted to eat it! But my parents are stingy and have always refused to take me."
"Of course you can! Xiaoya, if you want to go, Uncle Xia will take you. Xiaoya, you are so well behaved. When you come back for the New Year, Uncle Xia will give you a big red envelope."
Mei Ya jumped up excitedly at the side, "Thank you, Uncle Xia! Uncle Xia, you are so handsome and generous, much better than my dad! You can be my dad!"
Xia Xun burst into laughter upon hearing this, while Meili Jun on the side was furious:
"Hey, silly girl, why are you betraying me? Haven't I always been nice to you?"
"No matter how nice you are to me, it's useless. You don't have any money, and your money is all in my mother's hands... Uncle Xia and Aunt Yu are still the best. I want to switch with Sister Yuanyuan and become their daughter!"
So cotton-padded jackets are leaky
The quirky Xiaoya filled the group's journey with a cheerful atmosphere, and the noise was almost unstoppable.
Only when Youxi came to ask Xiaoya about her studies did the world finally become quiet.
When it was time to go home, Xia Xun drove his daughter and Lin Youxi's family back to Baimei County, while Mei Fang took her sister Mei Ya and got into their father Mei Lijun's car.
"Dad, when are we going back to Baimei County?"
"It should be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine. I originally wanted to just bring my grandparents over to live with me, but they wanted to take care of their own vegetable garden."
"That won't do. I have an appointment with Sister Yuanyuan and Sister Youxi to set off fireworks together."
Meiya emphasized, "I don't have many good friends in Hakushu. They live too far away."
"I know, I know." Meilijun drove calmly.
It snowed in Jiangcheng yesterday and the roads were covered with snow.
Mei Fang gazed at the scenery outside the car window.
If you think about it carefully, from the time the three of them knew each other until now, except for the time when Xia Yuan went to Jiangcheng for the summer vacation, they have rarely been apart for more than two weeks.
Especially after entering junior high school, it was rare for us to not see each other for three days.
Not to mention high school...
Just as Mei Fang was sighing, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Mei Fang opened it and saw that it was a message from Xia Yuan.
[Let’s go!]
After Xia Yuan sent the message, he also attached a photo.
It was a photo of her and Lin Youxi in the car.
Xia Yuan made a "V" sign to Mei Fang towards the camera, while Lin Youxi beside her maintained her gentle and reserved smile as always.
[Bon Voyage!]
Mei Fang sent a message to Xia Yuan.
[Bon Voyage!]
Xia Yuan sent a message.
Then she stared at the chat screen with Mei Fang and thought for a while, typed a few words and went back, and finally just sent a red heart emoji.
…
Why am I posting this
Xia Yuan pursed her lips and turned off the screen of her phone, then took Lin Youxi's arm and was about to take a break when her phone suddenly vibrated again.
Xia Yuan immediately woke up her phone to check the message, and then saw that Mei Fang had also replied with a red heart emoji emoticon like her.
She was so happy that she pressed Lin Youxi closer to her.
There is none left for today, not even a drop.
