Chapter 255 Persuasion
Luo Xingguo: "An Xin, so you're saying you won't be coming back to work here anymore?"
"I don't know. After graduating from high school next year, I might come back, or I might not. Who knows what will happen tomorrow! But one thing is clear: as long as my parents are here, this is my home, and I will always come back home."
The 20-day summer vacation, minus five or six days for travel, means that more than ten days pass quickly.
They had to return to the capital to continue their studies.
Before leaving, Su Jinru gave them all the dried seafood she had collected on the beach, saying that it was very meaningful because she had found it herself, and that they should take it home for their families to eat.
The four children were reluctant to part.
The twins clung to An Xin's legs and wouldn't let go.
"Sister, don't go, don't leave Ruochen and Ruoxi."
An Xin squatted down and touched her younger siblings' faces.
"Ruochen and Ruoxi, be good, your sister will be back soon. You must listen to your parents and Aunt Lan."
As he spoke, he kissed each of them on the cheek.
Aunt Lan and Su Jinru came over and picked up the two twins.
Aunt Lan: "When your older sister goes to school, you will all have to go to school when you grow up."
"We don't want to leave our parents, and we don't want to go to school."
Aunt Lan: "Only those who go to school will become smarter and more capable. Don't you want to be smart kids? Don't you want to become very, very capable people?"
"Of course I want to become a really, really amazing person," Ruochen said.
Ruoxi said, "Ruochen and I are both very smart. We are smart even without studying. We don't want to leave our parents."
Su Jinru smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Ruochen and Ruoxi will never leave their parents, and you two will study on Qiongzhou Island from now on."
The three boys lingered around Heizi, reluctant to part.
They touched Heizi and said, "Heizi, we'll come to see you again sometime."
Kuroko was very clever. Knowing that it was time to part ways with the three boys, it kept wagging its tail and nuzzling them with its head.
Luo Xingguo: "Third Uncle, you never told me that there was such a lovely family member in the family. If I had known that this place was so beautiful and that there was a black dog, I should have come here to play every time I had a holiday."
Su Jinru: "Then come play again during winter vacation!"
An Xin: "Winter vacation is the start of the Chinese New Year, and you're all going to Beijing for the holiday."
Su Jinru: "If you can persuade your grandparents to come here for the New Year, your parents and uncle will definitely come here with them too."
An Xin nodded repeatedly: "That's right! The winters here aren't cold, they're actually quite warm, with temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius, making it perfect for the elderly to spend the winter here."
Luo Xingguo said with delight, "Really? Then I must persuade Grandpa and Grandma to come here for the New Year. Once Grandpa and Grandma come, I guarantee the others will come too. But, with so many people coming, will there be enough room?"
Su Jinru: "As for accommodation, there is absolutely no problem. After the layoffs on the island, there are still several empty houses in the family area! They are fully equipped, and you can move in after tidying them up. You just need to tell me in advance so I can make preparations."
Monkey and Taozi said enviously, "You can come during the Spring Festival, but we can only come during summer vacation a year later. Oh my god! We have to wait another year. Every day feels like an eternity!"
Finally, they boarded the ship.
This time, Li Jianguo did not see them off.
These three teenagers, whose peers had long since gone to the countryside, should also get some experience. After getting off the ship, let them take the train on their own.
An Xin had three teenagers protecting her, so Su Jinru and Yuan Wenjie weren't worried.
The four children disembarked from the boat, took a horse-drawn carriage to the station, boarded a train, and after arriving in the capital, they finally made it home by bus.
Despite having to change trains multiple times along the way, they remained immersed in their excitement and completely disregarded the inconvenience.
After returning to the capital, school started, and they resumed their normal study routine.
Luo Xingguo had another wish: to persuade his grandparents to spend the Chinese New Year on Qiongzhou Island.
So whenever he had free time, he would talk to his grandparents about how wonderful Qiongzhou Island was, from its natural scenery to its sea views, its climate, its farms, pig farms, vegetable bases, and even the pomegranate trees, jujube trees behind Su Jinru's house, the grape and osmanthus trees in front of the house, and the two rose trees. He described them all vividly and beautifully.
When Luo Xingguo mentioned it to his grandparents for the 108th time.
Grandma continued, "The two rose bushes in front of your third uncle's house, one with red flowers and the other with yellow flowers, are taller than a person, with lush foliage and abundant blossoms. The flowers are as big as bowls, exquisite and beautiful..."
"Grandma, you remembered everything?"
"You've said it over a hundred times. I can imagine it with my eyes closed. I can picture it perfectly clearly. There's no tree or tree on that island..."
"Grandma, it's no use knowing this unless you see it for yourself. That kind of beauty is indescribable and unimaginable. You can only know it by experiencing it for yourself."
"You silly child, you went to Qiongzhou Island and have been talking about how wonderful and beautiful it is every day. Have you lost your soul there?"
Luo Xingguo leaned against his grandmother and acted like a spoiled child.
“Grandma, you’re right. I feel like my soul might really have been lost on Qiongzhou Island. Should I go there again and call it back?”
"Where did you throw it? Tell your third uncle to bring it back during the New Year."
"Grandma, it's such a long way, I have to go there myself to bring it back."
"You silly child, your parents have been busy since you were little and haven't had time to take you on long trips. You've been so attached to this trip. Go see more places in the future and broaden your horizons, so you won't be so heartbroken when you come back from a small island."
"I'm going to Qiongzhou Island, Grandma. I want to go again during winter vacation."
"Isn't winter break a holiday for the Lunar New Year? Your third uncle and the others will be coming back for the New Year, what are you going there for?"
“Grandma, why don’t you and Grandpa go to Qiongzhou Island for Chinese New Year this year? It’s very warm there during the New Year, with an average temperature of 25 to 27 degrees Celsius. It’s not cold at all, which is perfect for elderly people like you.”
"No one spends the New Year away from home. The New Year should be a time for the whole family to gather together at home."
"How is going to Uncle San's place considered 'outside'? It's your son's house, so it's your house too. Besides, if our whole family goes together, won't we all be able to have a happy family reunion?"
"No, no, this is too much trouble! Your parents and your uncle and aunt only have three days off, and it will take them several days to get here!"
