Chapter 409 Childhood Sweetheart 16

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After half a month of winter vacation, Chen Xiaopang was in a better mood. However, he still felt that Zhao Ying hadn’t been friendly enough. Why had she suddenly left without saying goodbye to him? He was even uninterested in taking Big Yellow out to bully that stupid Husky.

The Husky was the one that had scared him and his dad previously. He could meet it almost every time he walked Big Yellow. The stupid Husky rushed up every time as if it had the memory loss, and then it would be roared away by Big Yellow.

Chen Xiaopang thought Zhao Ying to be a child with no conscience. Because on the second day of their winter vacation, he went back to Tang Cao’s house to play. But when he came back, he found her disappear…

“Her mother came back early and took her away.” Wang Cailian laughed at her son when she saw him utterly discomfited, “I told you a few days ago that your aunt Cong Fei would come back at any time and Ying would leave at any time. You still went out to play for a whole day…”

Then Zhao Ying seemed to disappear. She didn’t call or send messages. Chen Xiaopang had been languishing during the Spring Festival, not having a good time.

“Hey, Xiaopang! We are leaving. Be a good boy.” Grandpa Chen touched his head and said, “If your dad hits you again, call me and I will hit him.”

After the Spring Festival, his grandparents were going back to Northeast. They were worried about the cows and the land at home.

“Parents, do you really want to go back?” Wang Cailian secretly put the money into her mother-in-law’s handbag, “Would you like to go on a trip? Go to stay at the seaside for a month.”

Grandpa waved his hand, “I don’t want to go. To go there, we have to take an airplane. It flies in the sky with no rope tied. What if it falls off?”

“Planes won’t fall.” Chen Qing felt it difficult to explain, “You see, our manned rockets have flown into space, and they haven’t fallen.”

Grandpa Chen glanced at him, “Wasn’t there a plane missing in the last few years? Who knows where it falls? And you can’t use our rocket to compare! Can it be the same?”

“They are the same, which all fly into the sky.” Chen Qing said.

“Bah!” Grandpa Chen sneered, “Our astronauts have been trained for ten years! For ten years they do nothing but get trained every day.”

“Dad, you…”

Grandma Chen couldn’t stand it anymore, “You two are endless, aren’t you? I have had a headache because of your arguing.”

They were quiet immediately. The father and son both shut up.

“I know that you are not used to the city life, but you will find it convenient if you live longer.” Wang Cailian peeled an orange for her mother-in-law, “Both country and city have their own advantages.”

Seeing Grandpa Chen keep silent, and her mother-in-law nod aside, Wang Cailian went on to say, “Furthermore, Xiaopang and I miss you very much. Chen Qing keeps busy every day, and I don’t have friends here.”

“Mom, you don’t know. Every day they leave and I’m left lonely to stay in such a big house, which makes me very scared.”

Chen Xiaopang took a step back in silence with his dad. His mother actually had a wonderful life every day, either going shopping or playing mahjong, or having her hair trimmed and nails painted…

“Didn’t you say last time on the phone that you had known a lot of people, so you played cards and went shopping every day?” Her mother-in-law frowned and said, “You also said that you were very busy every day.”

Wang Cailian was speechless.

“Ha ha ha! Oh, I was just afraid that you would worry that I was not used to the life here, so I comforted you.” She held her mother-in-law’s arm and began to be mischievous and coquetry, “I just went out to play cards when I first arrived here, and then stopped playing it. Those women always bullied me because I came from the countryside. They often colluded to win my money. Is it right, Chen Qing?”

Chen Qing quickly said, “Yes, yes, I don’t let Cailian play with them.”

Chen Xiaopang took another step back silently.

This was true. His mother had known a few women in the beauty salon and often gone to play cards with them together. Later she found that they had colluded to win her money, and Wang Cailian stopped going.

But… She hit the women one by one, making them so disheveled that looked particularly pitiful…

“Mom, later I will get a piece of land for you in the small garden behind. You can grow vegetables there next time you come.” Wang Cailian talked about the plan, “We shall eat all the vegetables we grow during the Spring Festival. When thinking of that, we shall feel happy. Right, Xiaopang?”

Chen Xiaopang who was mentioned nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, yes!”

“Okay.” Grandma Chen thought about it and agreed, “We will come again in the second half of the year.”

Grandpa Chen moved the hookah and wanted to say something. But Grandma Chen glanced at him, which made him silent.

“It’s okay. Your dad just loves dearly the two cows at home. We shall let your uncle take care of them then.” Grandma Chen patted Wang Cailian’s hand, “Is time up? Should we go to the station?”

The whole family went to see them off. When they arrived at the station, Grandpa Chen began to complain about wasting money for having bought first-class tickets, and also said that they were not busy so they needn’t take the high-speed train but should just take a slow train to go back.

No one responded. He didn’t shut up until it was time of the ticket checking.

“Goodbye, Grandparents!” Chen Xiaopang waved.

Chen Qing handed the suitcase to his dad, “Dad, don’t be reluctant to spend money on delicious food when you go back. Buy whatever you want to eat. We are rich now. Do you know?”

“Mom, remember to eat the health care products that I give you every day!” Wang Cailian urged her mother-in-law again and again.

The two old persons said yes and thought them to be boring. Then they turned around and entered.

Near the beginning of the term, Tang Cao returned from abroad and then called Chen Xiaopang.

“Come to my house to play? I’ll let the driver pick you up.”

Chen Xiaopang looked at Wang Cailian, holding the phone. Wang Cailian thought for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

“OK!” Chen Xiaopang was happy.

Just now he had been worried that his mother might disagree. After they were rescued, Chen Xiaopang kept saying how his new friend Tang Cao and Tong Yue were. Wang Cailian once said very seriously that he should not always mention the two children.

Chen Xiaopang asked why he couldn’t mention them. Wang Cailian said that they were not in the same class, and they wouldn’t play together when term began. He might forget them after a while.

Chen Xiaopang thought his mother was lying. Besides… They were the brothers who had experienced life and death together. How could they forget each other so soon?

The next day, the driver of Tang Family drove the car to come. As soon as the car door opened, a small boy jumped out.

“Tang Cao!” Chen Xiaopang shouted, “Why are you here?”

The little boy raised his head to reveal a beautiful face. Although they had already met each other, Wang Cailian still muttered in her heart. How could Tang Family members be so good-looking?

“I come to pick you up!” Tang Cao said with a smile, and greeted Wang Cailian politely, “Hello, Aunt. This is what my mother asked me to give you!”

Wang Cailian was surprised for a second, but she soon took it and said with a smile, “You are so kind. Please say thanks to your mother for me.”

“It’s okay, okay!” Tang Cao waved his hand, “This is the fruit tea made by my mother herself. It tastes very good!”

Wang Cailian was glad that she also had prepared a gift herself. Chen Qing had said the day before whether her gift was inappropriate. He went to work in the morning and reminded her whether she wanted to change a gift.

But at present…

Wang Cailian handed a box of sticky bean buns to Chen Xiaopang, “Remember to greet people when you visit Tang Cao’s house. You should be polite. Do you know that?”

“I know! I know!” Chen Xiaopang took the box and ran into the car, laughing and joking.

When the car started driving, the two little guys poked out of the window and waved at Wang Cailian.

Wang Cailian smiled and waved, and then found that there were still two cars parking not far away. When Tang Cao’s car drove past, the two cars protected his car, one in front and the other behind.

“Well… They deserve to be the rich family. When they go out, they will take many bodyguards.” Wang Cailian shook her head and turned back to enter the house.

At first, she had been very afraid of contacting Tang Family members, for being afraid that they would be suspicious. Later, she figured out that they didn’t want to take any advantages. It was only the friendship between the children, which had nothing to do with the adults.

On the other hand, Wang Cailian also considered about the future of Xiaopang. If he could be good friends with Tang Cao, she would worry less about him in the future. What kind of problems couldn’t Tang Family solve?

When Chen Xiaopang and Tang Cao became famous playboys in the capital later, Wang Cailian shed tears…

When Chen Xiaopang returned in the evening, Chen Qing asked nervously what he had done in the house of Tang Family.

“I did nothing special!” Chen Xiaopang slumped in the sofa with a hiccup, “Tong Yue also went there. Tang Cao has a game room, so we played games in it.” After he said it, he looked at his father.

“Dad, please also get me a game room! You don’t know that Tang Cao has got every kind of game machine, which is very amazing!”

Chen Qing thought, “Is this the point?”

“Son, I asked you about his family. Did they say that the sticky bean buns were delicious?”

Wang Cailian glanced at her husband and knew that he was afraid that Tang Family members might have thrown it away without eating.

“It’s delicious!” Chen Xiaopang said happily, “Uncle Tang ate several ones. Later, Mrs. Tang said that it was not easy to digest and let him eat the rest tomorrow.”

Chen Qing felt it incredible, “Really?”

“Yeah!” Chen Xiaopang thought his dad to be somewhat strange, “Dad, what do you want to ask on earth?”

“I don’t want to ask anything.” Chen Qing patted him and said, “Hurry up to take a shower and then go to bed.”

When the son went upstairs, Chen Qing and Wang Cailian started to mumble.

“I didn’t expect them to really eat it.” Chen Qing still had an inconceivable look.

Wang Cailian despised him, “Why couldn’t they eat it? Were they afraid that I had poisoned?”

“Oh, you know! I hear that the son of the first branch of Tang Family is likely to be the next…” Chen Qing made a gesture, pointing at the sky.

“You just said that it was the son of the first branch of Tang Family. But Tang Cao is the child of the second branch of Tang Family.” Wang Cailian curled her lips, “I hear that the son of the second branch is famous for that…” But she didn’t believe it so much.

She thought of Mrs. Tang, who was such a charming and intelligent woman. She didn’t believe that such a woman would marry a husband who had been as unreliable as the onlookers said.

“In short, this is a matter between children, and we won’t involve.” Wang Cailian said, “Don’t think that you can bully others by flaunting your powerful connections with Tang Family. We won’t do that kind of thing.”

Chen Qing quickly said, “I see, I see! I just mention it.”

Holidays always passed quickly for children. Chen Xiaopang was found to have not finished his winter vacation homework in the last few days. Having beaten him, Chen Qing told him not to go out until having finished all the homework.

That day he finally cried and finished his homework. When he went downstairs, he saw a little girl sitting in the sitting room

“Hi! Xiaopang, I’m back.” Zhao Ying waved at him with a sweet smile.
