Chapter 522: Farewell
Time flies so fast. The collective wedding of Hongliang and Amei, Wang Kun and Lizhen, and Principal Zhang and Qiuyan is approaching.
In the early morning of autumn, the breeze gently blows across the ground, bringing a hint of coolness. The golden sunlight shines through the mottled leaves in the dense woods, falling on the ground like a bunch of golden arrows, forming a beautiful pattern of light and shadow that is like a dream.
At this peaceful and beautiful moment, Qiuyan and Principal Zhang were busy packing their bags. Qiuyan's movements were gentle and neat, and she carefully put the items into the backpack one by one. Principal Zhang stood by, helping to organize from time to time, and also whispered some precautions.
After a while, the two packed their bags. Looking at the bulging but neatly arranged backpacks, Qiuyan and Principal Zhang smiled at each other, their eyes revealing anticipation and excitement for the upcoming journey.
Mother Zhang had already prepared breakfast and was waiting in the canteen. "Yanzi, you guys should come out for breakfast. Go early so as not to delay your train ride."
"I know, Mom!" Qiuyan quickly replied to her mother-in-law on WeChat. Now, the relationship between Qiuyan and her mother-in-law is so close that they are even closer than biological mother and daughter.
Every time, whenever Qiuyan appeared with Principal Zhang, her mother-in-law would always call her affectionately: "Swallow..." That affectionate voice seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier of time and convey the deep friendship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to everyone's heart.
When Qiuyan hears this call, she always responds with joy, with a happy smile on her face. This harmonious and happy family atmosphere is really enviable.
When Qiuyan saw the breakfast on the table, she was surprised. The table was full of his favorite foods, such as fermented rice eggs, fried rice crackers, and the fragrant white rice porridge.
Qiuyan walked to the dining table with emotion, her eyes slightly red. After she sat down, she gently held Principal Zhang's hand and said, "How come mom remembers my favorite food so clearly?"
Principal Zhang smiled gently and said, "Mom remembers everything about you. Now I love you more than I love me."
"Here are some mushrooms and local specialties I brought for your friend. They are so nice to you. We don't have anything special to offer here," Mother Zhang smiled apologetically.
After breakfast, they were ready to go to the train station, but the mother-in-law kept telling them, "I know, mom, don't be too tired at home. If you can't do anything, wait until we come back."
"You must be careful when you travel far away. Haha, our family is lucky enough to have Yan Zi take my son to the United States. Thank you, Yan Zi," said Mother Zhang happily.
"Got it, Mom, we're going to the train station."
When Qiuyan and Principal Zhang walked out of the door, there was a long line of students standing at the door. These were students from Class 41 where Qiuyan taught. They looked at Qiuyan eagerly and said, "Hello, teacher."
When Qiuyan saw the students, she was deeply moved and her eyes became wet again.
She walked quickly to the students and asked softly, "Children, why are you all here?" A little girl with a ponytail walked up, holding a bunch of wild flowers she had picked from outside, and said, "Teacher, we heard that you were going to America, and we couldn't bear to see you go, so we came together to see you off." The other students also nodded, their eyes full of reluctance.
Qiuyan took the flowers and couldn't help but shed tears. She squatted down, touched the children's heads and said, "Thank you. The teacher can't bear to leave you. But the teacher will only be away for a while. I will teach you when I come back." Principal Zhang was also moved by this heartwarming scene and watched it all with a smile.
At this time, a little boy took out a painting from behind him, handed it to Qiuyan and said, "Teacher, this is a painting we drew together. Our whole class is on it." Qiuyan took the painting, looked at the familiar faces in the painting, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She stood up and said to the students, "The teacher will definitely take this painting with her and treasure it. You should also study hard and wait for the teacher to come back and check it." After that, Qiuyan hugged the little boy.
"You, kids, your teacher can't bear to leave you. You will be back to teach you as soon as the wedding is over." Seeing these lovely children, Qiuyan didn't know what to say, but tears welled up in her eyes.
The children came over and hugged Qiuyan, just like a group of chicks surrounding a hen, unwilling to disperse. Qiuyan finally got out of the children's arms, and reluctantly got on the car to the train station with Principal Zhang.
In the car, Qiuyan kept looking at the painting with a faint smile on her lips and some tears in her eyes.
Principal Zhang gently held her hand and said, "Our students will be very obedient, don't worry." Qiuyan nodded.
After arriving at the train station, they boarded the train smoothly. The train started slowly, Qiuyan looked out the window at the platform that was gradually moving away, and silently said in her heart: Goodbye, my children, I will be back soon.
After a few hours' journey, the train arrived at the station quickly. When the train arrived at the station, Wang Kun and Li Zhen were waiting for them at the exit.
"Qiuyan is here." Wang Kun and Li Zhen immediately waved to Qiuyan and Principal Zhang when they saw them.
Along the way, Qiuyan felt the envious gazes from passers-by, and her heart was filled with sweetness. When she arrived at the train station, Wang Kun and Li Zhen were already waiting there.
After meeting, several people hugged and greeted each other, and laughter echoed in the station hall. Everyone was looking forward to a new life and was ready to embark on this love-filled wedding journey.
"Your passports have been processed." After Qiuyan and Principal Zhang got into the car, Qiuyan and Principal Zhang sat in the back seat, Lizhen sat in the co-pilot, and Wang Kun asked them with concern.
"No, we have never been abroad, so we don't know," Principal Zhang said apologetically.
"Then go and apply for a passport as soon as possible tomorrow. After the passport is processed, it will take a few days to be mailed, so you must go and apply for it tomorrow, otherwise there will not be enough time," Wang Kun said with some concern.
"It's okay. I have a friend in the Public Security Bureau. I'll make a call and ask them to send it over early. You can rest here for a few days and get ready," Lizhen comforted them.
"Thank you so much! Chairman Wang and his wife, you are such kind people! You are so caring and considerate to us. We can be what we are today, all thanks to your help!" Principal Zhang paused and continued.
"Whenever I think of all the kindness I've received during this period of time, I feel so guilty! Especially during the time I was hospitalized here, you not only took the trouble to come visit me often and ask about my well-being, but also gave me meticulous care and concern in all aspects of my daily life. I really have no way to repay this deep friendship!" Principal Zhang looked at Wang Kun and Li Zhen with an apologetic look, his eyes full of gratitude, and his inner excitement could not be concealed in his words.
"We are already friends, and it is our duty to help friends. I will take you to the hotel now, and you will stay there for the next few days." Lizhen looked at Qiuyan and the others.
"Okay, this is too much trouble for you, let's just stay in a hotel." Qiuyan looked at Lizhen and the others.
