After getting off the train and walking towards the exit, she saw her parents waiting for her there.

This was the first time she saw her parents since her rebirth. The moment she saw them, she could no longer suppress her emotions. She was very happy and wanted to cry.

I ran quickly towards the exit, trying hard to suppress my tears, waving and calling out to my parents as I ran.

"Dad~! Mom~!"

The old couple also saw her. They were also very happy and waved to her.

"Daughter, slow down. Don't be in a hurry." Dad called her excitedly, but was afraid that his daughter would fall if she ran too fast.

Xia Qing ran out quickly, flew to her parents, and gave them a big hug.

It's been a long time since I hugged my dad and mom...

Mom and Dad took the luggage from her hands and asked as they walked:

Father Xia said, "Qing, do you want to go shopping in the county town? We can also have a meal after that."

Xia Qing was very excited to return to her hometown. "Dad, Mom, are you tired?"

"How can I be tired? I didn't do anything. I was just waiting here so you won't be tired," said my mother.

"Then let's go to the largest supermarket in our county, buy some cooked food, and eat it at home." This supermarket is the underground supermarket of the largest comprehensive shopping mall in Xia Qing's county.

In the past, when I came here, I would visit this building. It is the landmark of the county town. The railway station and bus station are within 1000 meters nearby.

Whether it is a weekday or a holiday, this place is often crowded.

When Xia Qing came to high school, she would go around the county town during holidays and then take a bus home.

Every time I would take the living expenses I saved and buy some delicious food here for my parents and younger brother, because the countryside was backward at that time and many things were not available in towns and villages, but only in large shopping malls like this one in the city.

When Xia Qing was in high school, many of her childhood friends dropped out and went to work in small private factories in the town. Every time their factory had a holiday, the bus passing through their area was always crowded and hard to get on. A large group of teenagers from the factory, who were dressed maturely but could not hide their childishness, would take their newly-earned wages to the county town to spend money.

And I am proud to buy things here.

Every time they chattered about where to go and what to buy, the whole car was crowded and noisy.

But everyone is used to it.

Xia Qing and her family of three took a small three-wheeled motorcycle at the intersection and went to the mall. Her parents took her to the third floor to buy her clothes.

"My daughter, it's getting cold. Let's go buy you a down jacket. Xiaojun and the others in our village are all wearing down jackets bought here in the building. They say they are very warm." Father Xia suggested happily, and Mother Xia also agreed with a smile.

"The weather is getting cold, and all the little girls in our village wear it. It looks good!"

Xia Qing felt a little sad for a moment. His parents were both rural people. They relied on the few acres of land at home to support him and his younger brother. His younger brother dropped out of junior high school and went to work in a factory.

She knew how hard it was for her parents to support him through college. Her younger brother had dropped out of junior high to work in a factory. Her tuition, accommodation, and living expenses had suddenly reached nearly 1 yuan. The family's fields produced two crops a year, each of which sold for 8000 yuan. After deducting the costs of fertilizer, plowing, sowing, and harvesting, there wasn't much left. Life was incredibly tight for the family.

At that time, almost every household in the village was like this. Many girls went to work in factories to earn money to support their families. Xia Qing was often ridiculed by villagers for going to school. What was the point of a girl going to school?

It is rare that Xia Qing's parents do not have the idea of favoring boys over girls. Many families in the village have some degree of favoring boys over girls.

Xia Qing's younger brother is also a sensible child. He really doesn't like studying, so he dropped out of school early to work to supplement the family income.

Xia Qing's parents didn't want their child's money, and asked him to save it to build a house and get married.

But my younger brother insisted on giving it to my parents. My parents felt sorry for their child who had to work in a factory at such a young age, but this is the most common situation in backward rural areas.

Even so, Xia Qing's parents did not ask her to drop out of school and work in a factory like other girls in the village. Instead, they firmly said, "If you want to go to school, mom and dad will sell everything they have to support you."

This love is heavy.

There was a large surplus of labor in rural areas, so Xia Qing's father went out to work. Due to his old age and lack of skills, he joined a self-employed plastic factory. Due to fatigue from the night shift, he accidentally got his hand caught in the machinery, and all ten fingers on both hands were bitten off by the machinery.

After Xia Qing was reborn, she saw her father's half-broken fingers and her mother's face that was overly aged by fatigue and hardship. She had so many words in her heart that she couldn't say them. Although she died in her previous life and was reborn, she didn't know how sad her parents were. She had not fulfilled her filial duties well and had spent most of her ten years in Beijing working.

She secretly vowed that she would work hard to earn money to improve her parents' lives and spend more time with them.

but now,

She adjusted her mood, hugged her father with her left hand and her mother with her right hand, and acted coquettishly with them:

"Mom, I don't lack clothes, and City B is big and prosperous. There are all kinds of nice clothes. We only have old clothes here, so we don't need to buy any more. Besides, our school is well heated, so we don't need to buy down jackets."

Xia Qing didn't wait for her parents to refuse, and quickly changed the subject. She pulled them towards the underground supermarket and said as she walked:

"I want to eat the prepared food and snacks sold in the underground supermarket. Let's buy some to take home and buy something for my brother that he likes. He will definitely be very happy."

"The restaurants outside are not very clean and greasy. I like my mother's cooking. I haven't seen my brother in a long time. Let's go home quickly after shopping~"

Her chattering made Mr. and Mrs. Xia laugh and cry, and they followed her into the supermarket.

Xia Qing picked out a lot of food and things that were inconvenient to buy at home, and pushed the shopping cart with her parents to check out.

The salesperson quickly scanned the items and Xia Qing quickly took out her money to pay.

Xia's father and mother immediately stopped him. How could he spend his daughter's money? They anxiously said to the salesperson: "Girl, take my money, don't take my daughter's money."

Xia Qing insisted on giving the money to the salesperson to pay the bill and winked at her.

The salesperson also understood, "Uncle, your daughter is filial, you are blessed, please stop stopping her."

Xia Qing also interjected, "Mom and Dad, why don't you just go back and make me something delicious? Besides, I still have to ask you for living expenses later, right?"

Only then did Father Xia calm down.

But Xia Qing no longer plans to ask her parents for living expenses. She has saved some money from her part-time job over the past six months and aims to earn not only her living expenses but also her tuition for her junior year next year.

A group of three people, carrying two large shopping bags, walked towards the bus stop.

通往他们村的公交车,一天发车两次。早上7点45路过她们村口,8点20到县城,中午11点40从县城返回;

The bus departs at 13:10 pm in the afternoon and arrives at the county seat around 14: pm.

Xia Qing's train arrives at 13:30 p.m.

Therefore, Xia Qing could see his parents waiting for him at the exit. The old couple had caught the early bus and waited in the county town from morning to afternoon.

Since the two of them live frugally, it is naturally impossible for them to go shopping everywhere.

When Xia Qing was a freshman in college, her parents came to pick her up and told them not to come, but the old couple was worried and insisted on coming every time even though they agreed not to.

They had thought that since they arrived early they could go shopping in the county town, but the two of them didn't go anywhere and just wandered around the train station square.

The first thing I advised was that I didn't want to go shopping, and my honest smile was filled with simple sincerity.

Xia Qing felt that she was now completely independent and was no longer a newly graduated college student. She would definitely not need her parents to pick her up in the future.

Her parents still treat her as a little girl.

She doesn't want her parents to be too tired.

She thought that when she told her parents the time she would be coming back, she would deliberately delay it by two days, and then come back early to save them the trouble of picking her up.

She is essentially an adult. She has ridden trains many times in her previous life and is no longer afraid. She can also walk independently.
