TGDS Chapter 58.1

Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 58.1: After Being Abducted (28)

On a summer afternoon, the weather is scorching and the breeze brings all the heat. Outside the window, cicadas are chirping, but the sounds are not too annoying.

“…Yuanyuan, do you understand?” Yang Qiuping said as she drew on the paper, gently turning her head to ask her son beside her.

At this time, the vase decorations on the dining table in the family’s restaurant were all removed, leaving only textbooks covering the table. Pei Yuanbo and Yang Qiuping sat in two adjacent seats respectively. The textbooks in B City were not the same as those in H Province. In addition, B City had a developed economy and advanced teaching level. Although Pei Yuanbo was still in elementary school, it was difficult for the teaching methods he learned in the town’s elementary school to be smoothly integrated with those in B City.

Not long after the child came back, Pei Naochun sought his advice. After confirming that Pei Yuanbo was also willing to give up this vacation to fill in the gaps instead of repeating a year, he borrowed a complete set of the latest textbooks from someone and helped organize the knowledge points and exercises. Yang Qiuping, based on the key points summarized by her husband and after watching online teaching video courses, began to tutor her son’s homework.

“Yeah, I understand.” His mom explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and Pei Yuanbo was able to understand it.

“Okay, let’s continue.” Yang Qiuping’s face was full of relief. She turned the page and prepared to continue.

“Qiuping, Yuanyuan, come and have some fruit.” Grandma Pei came out of the kitchen with a whole plate of carefully cut fruits in her hands, including Pei Yuanbo’s favorite oranges and Yang Qiuping’s favorite apples. “You’ve all worked hard, you should take a rest.” Although she couldn’t get involved in her grandson’s teaching process, she was always busy on the side – moving fans, cutting fruits, turning off the TV, cleaning, striving to create the best learning environment for her grandson and daughter-in-law.

“Thank you, grandma.” Pei Yuanbo took it quickly. He had only been back for two days, but his face had gained a lot of flesh – when he was still in the village, he was always running around everywhere, and his “figure” had always been good. Although he had become a little rounder now, he was not fat to the extent that people would say he was fat. He was afraid that his grandma would worry, so he took the fruit plate quickly, picked up a piece and started eating. The orange was just taken out of the refrigerator, it was full of juice and sweet to the heart.

“Eat more, eating fruits is good for your health!” Grandma Pei smiled with her eyes narrowed. She couldn’t look enough and just wanted to take her baby grandson into her heart.

“Mom, you sit down too, stop busying yourself.” Yang Qiuping pulled Grandma Pei to sit down. Ever since Pei Yuanbo came back, Grandma Pei seemed to be alive and well. Although her old illness still existed and was difficult to cure, and she still couldn’t do without a cane on weekdays, her whole spirit and energy had completely changed.

“No need to sit, I’m not tired.” Grandma Pei waved her hand, “You guys continue studying.” She turned and went straight to the sofa. After Pei Yuanbo came back, she measured his size again, only to find that the size of the clothes she had estimated was still a little off. She has been removing the stitches and re-adjusting it these days. Although winter is still a long way off, isn’t it better to be prepared?

“By the way, Mom, where is Dad?” Pei Yuanbo glanced overly curiously. It was still summer vacation, and Dad should have been on vacation as well. When he first came back, Dad stayed by his side every day to accompany him, but it was only in the past few days that he went out more often.

“Your dad? I guess something happened in his lab.” Yang Qiuping responded indifferently. Pei Naochun has a related laboratory in the school, but if he doesn’t produce any results in a few years and doesn’t have many students, then it might affect his funding and registration.

“Is that so?” Pei Yuanbo nodded. The way he ate the orange obediently seemed to have a soft light filter in Yang Qiuping’s mind.

After her son came back, the home that had been frozen for a long time suddenly thawed, as if it had returned seven years ago overnight. Although, this still requires a little effort. Thinking of this, Yang Qiuping couldn’t help but sigh. It’s not that her son is not good or that the family members don’t work hard, but they haven’t been together for a long time, and there are always some times when they don’t get along.

For example, her son has been in the south for a long time and has mastered the local dialect. Sometimes when he is in a hurry and not paying attention, he speaks in a jumbled manner and no one in the family can understand him. There are also some differences in food tastes between the two places, such as saltiness and the dishes commonly eaten in the family. This is also a process of accommodating each other…

But everything will be fine.

Yang Qiuping looked at everything in front of her calmly. Pei Yuanbo put a piece of paper on the table and gnawed an orange like a little squirrel. His crew cut had grown a little and the hair on top had become a little soft. In the living room, Grandma Pei was wearing glasses, with a basket of clothes and wool beside her. The family portrait in the middle of the living room, which was taken shortly after Yuanyuan was born, had also been replaced. The one replaced now was taken last week when the family went to the photo studio specially. In the camera, the four people had the same smile on their faces and their bodies were tightly snuggled together with no gaps.

This is the home she is willing to give everything to protect, and she firmly believes that everything will be on the right track.

…

B City University, every summer vacation, this college seems to be half asleep. The alleys that were always crowded with people and the library that was full of students are now mostly empty. Pei Naochun’s laboratory is affiliated with the School of Computer Science, and there are many equipment in it. Apart from himself, only the students he brings with him can enter.
