It was no mean feat to get the three of them, who were on the verge of hysterical excitement to calm down. It was only then that Ye Lingchen managed to pry himself out of the situation.
Since the semester had already begun, it was only right for him to check in with his family.
Ye Lingchen mumbled to himself and transferred 100,000 RMB back home.
He was worried if he transferred too much, he would just scare his parents.
Dingaling-
"Hello, mom."
"Lingchen, where did you get all this money from?" Xu Zheng asked nervously, her voice low.
"Mom, I made it all by myself, so don't worry. This is for you and dad, both of you work too hard, so buy some new clothes for yourself." Ye Lingchen replied.
"Silly boy, I'm already so old, why would I need new clothes? Wouldn't that just be showing off?" Xu Zheng scolded with a laugh. She was very happy, "Don't go around doing anything stupid for the sake of money! Your father and I don't expect you to make it big, so long as you're safe and sound, okay?"
"Mom, don't you believe in your son? I can make money now, and boatloads of it! Just spend it without any worry! I've got some left for myself."
"You silly boy, don't you go and spend it needlessly! Your life will be very difficult if you squander everything." Xu Zheng lectured him as she always did, before continuing, "The 50,000 RMB from your scholarship has already been released. I'll help you save that money for when you get married."
"Mom, it's too early for that!" Ye Lingchen did not know whether to cry or laugh.
"I think that girl from the Zhang family is not bad. Ever since you left home, she comes over from time to time and helps me with the chores. Her looks are pretty okay too." Xu Zheng was already playing matchmaker for Ye Lingchen, "There are only so few good girls our there, aren't you afraid that they'll all be snatched away?"
"If you don't work to make money, will the mother of the Zhang family let you marry her daughter?"
"Okay, okay mom, as long as you're happy." Ye Lingchen pursed his lips before speaking.
"Make sure you study well okay? Don't miss us at home, your father and I are doing well..."
At the end of the call, Ye Lingchen looked at the duration of the call. It was a full 76 minutes.
During that time, it was mostly Xu Zheng talking, and Ye Lingchen listening.
Only when there was nothing left to say, did Xu Zheng hang up unwillingly.
Ye Lingchen held his cellphone and suddenly thought of a poem he learned in primary school.
"The sewing thread in the loving mother's hand, clothes the wanderer as he travels the land.
He wrapped himself tightly before he leaves, for he will not return soon, he grieves.
He who has a wandering heart, will never be able to repay the kindness of his parents' hearts."
When he was young Ye Lingchen never understood the meaning of the poem, but now he realized that he had become the subject of the poem...
Very soon, the two wolf pups in the balcony drew the attention of his roommates.
