Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 320 Going Home

 After getting up early in the morning and eating breakfast, Zhou Xiaoyun, Liu Lu, Li Tianyu and Yang Fan went to the station to buy tickets and got on the long-distance bus home.

 After the car started slowly, the speed gradually increased.

 The busload of people seemed extremely crowded, probably because it was during the peak period of Spring Festival travel.

Zhou Xiaoyun wanted to open the car window, but as soon as he opened it, a cold wind came in.

Zhou Xiaoyun quickly closed the car window, leaving only a small gap for some breathing.

 Fortunately, the four of them were chatting and laughing along the way, and they were not lonely. Everyone talked about their own things in school.

Yang Fan has become the monitor of his class and is said to be planning to join the student union next semester.

Liu Lu was envious after hearing this: "Hey, boys are different. It's the same in our school. The student union is basically dominated by boys. It's not easy for women to be cadres."

Li Tianyu smiled: "I have also become a class cadre in my class, and the class teacher is also planning to recommend me to join the student union of the department!"

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and said nothing.

Liu Lu asked curiously: "Zhou Xiaoyun, have you been a cadre in the class? You were the class monitor for three years in high school!"

Zhou Xiaoyun shrugged: "I didn't do anything. When school started, the teacher wanted to designate me as a class cadre, but I turned him down."

Liu Lu was puzzled: "Why? It's good to be a cadre in the university. It will be a big advantage when looking for a job in the student union."

Zhou Xiaoyun thought for a while before saying: "I find it troublesome."

Having been a class cadre for so many years has really been enough. It would be better to take it easy in college. The feeling of ordinary people is also very good. They don't have to worry about anything. They can refuse to participate in anything in the class. It's very free.

Li Tianyu nodded and said: "You have been the squad leader since elementary school. In junior high school, you have been a math study committee member for three years. In high school, you have been the squad leader for three years. You are always doing this and that for the teacher. You must be tired of it, so just be an ordinary person. There’s nothing wrong with being a student.”

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at Li Tianyu in surprise.

 Since when did Li Tianyu become able to guess people’s inner thoughts, and was he so accurate? It's unbelievable.

Liu Lu asked with concern: "Xiaoyun, how do you feel? Are you motion sick?"

Zhou Xiaoyun put his head to the window to enjoy the cold air: "Fortunately, I can hold on. In fact, as long as the car drives smoothly and doesn't stop and go, I'll be fine."

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Then you must not take the bus. If you stop at the same stop, you will definitely be dizzy. If you want to go out to play in the future, let Tianyu take you on a bicycle."

Li Tianyu nodded desperately from the side.

 At nearly noon, we finally arrived at the station.

Zhou Xiaoyun and others got out of the car and felt indescribably excited when they saw their hometown they had not seen for a long time.

It turns out that no matter how nice it is outside, it is still not as good as your own home.

Yang Fan’s home is in the county seat and can be reached by bus.

Li Tianyu wanted to send Zhou Xiaoyun home, but Zhou Xiaoyun politely declined: "No, I called my family yesterday to tell my family that I was coming back, and my brother said he would pick me up at the station."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiaobao's excited cry: "Sister!"

Zhou Xiaoyun looked back and saw that Xiaobao and Erya were actually here. Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and greeted him.

Li Tianyu saw that he had nothing to do and had no choice but to leave with Liu Lu.

Erya threw herself into Zhou Xiaoyun's arms and shouted affectionately: "Sister, my second brother and I have been waiting for a long time! Every time a car comes by, we get in front of it and look around, our necks are almost stretched out."

Zhou Xiaoyun hugged Erya and took Xiaobao home happily.

 Haha, Xiaobao is the most considerate, riding a bicycle to pick up Zhou Xiaoyun.

This "special car" is perfect for Zhou Xiaoyun!

　　It was already around two o'clock when we arrived at home, and Zhou Xiaoyun's stomach was growling with hunger.

 Zhao Yuzhen heated up the food with a smile on her face.

Zhou Xiaoyun ate heartily, feeling that the food cooked by her mother was really not good anywhere.

Zhao Yuzhen looked at Zhou Xiaoyun lovingly, thinking that it would be better if Dabao came back too.

Erya asked: "Sister, why doesn't Brother Dabao come home with you?"

"My eldest brother will represent our province in the national track and field games next year. He is currently in special training. He will not be back during the New Year holiday this year. He will probably have to wait until after the competition to be free again. He asked me to come back and tell you that he cannot come back during the New Year holiday this year. It’s Chinese New Year.”

Dabao told Zhou Xiaoyun the good news when he came to see Zhou Xiaoyun a few days ago. Zhou Xiaoyun was deeply proud of his brother. It's the National Track and Field Games!

 Zhao Yuzhen was both happy for Dabao and sad that she could not see her son.

Zhou Guoqiang looked at Zhao Yuzhen's unhappy expression and said, "Dabao is training to participate in the national competition. We parents should be happy. Why are we depressed?"

Zhao Yuzhen sighed: "Of course I know this is a good thing, but when I think about not seeing Dabao for half a year, I feel panicked. Besides, I don't have time to come back during the Chinese New Year. I don't know when I can see Dabao!"

Zhou Guoqiang gave Zhao Yuzhen a few words of advice, but in fact he didn't miss Dabao in his heart.

 It's just that father's love is deeper and not as obvious.

With Dabao at home at this young age, it seemed as if something was missing from the Zhou family. Even grandma muttered something: "This is a great time for the New Year. Why doesn't Dabao come back? I haven't seen Dabao in half a year."

Zhou Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Grandma, eldest brother is very promising now. He was selected by the provincial track and field team coach to participate in next year's National Track and Field Games. By then, you can see eldest brother on TV. If eldest brother can win all the national competitions, It would be great if the ranking comes back.”

Grandma was attracted by the beautiful blueprint drawn by Zhou Xiaoyun, and recalled how excited and happy she would be.

Shen Huafeng was envious and hot-eyed, so she hit Zhou Zhihai: "Haizi, when will you be able to compete with our whole family like your Dabao brother?"

Zhou Zhihai had been studying car repair for half a year and was still very early before he was ready to graduate. At this time, he heard that his mother started to want to use him again and wanted to run away.

Shen Huafeng was so angry when she saw Zhou Zhihai running around with oil on his feet that he wanted to curse.

Zhou Xiaoxia saw the opportunity and took Shen Huafeng's hand and said, "Mom, it's the New Year, just let Haizi go."

Zhou Xiaoyun also smiled and said: "Yes, aunt, isn't Brother Haizi very obedient and filial!"

Shen Huafeng was talked a little bit by Zhou Xiaoxia and Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun spent more than ten days of comfortable life at home. However, the winter vacation was too short, and visiting relatives and eating meals passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it's time for school to start.

Liu Lu called early and asked Zhou Xiaoyun to ride to school together.

Zhou Xiaoyun thought it would be nice to ride in the car together and chat and laugh, so he agreed without saying a word.

Before leaving, Xiaobao said reluctantly: "Sister, you have been gone for half a year. I miss you so much!"

Zhou Xiaoyun felt a deep warmth in his heart: "Xiaobao, I also miss you, Erya and my parents outside. From now on, I will call you often! If you are free, you can write to me."

 Xiaobao nodded heavily.
