Zhao Tianlei glanced over, usually wearing a smile, but now his face was long, somewhat irritable.
"If it comes to that, just retake the exam, it’s no big deal," Zhao Tianlei said with a relaxed tone.
But it didn’t comfort Zhao Tianhe.
"But I don’t want to retake it."
Who would want to retake an exam?
"Get ready, you’re heading back to your hometown tomorrow."
Before the sadness had even passed, he heard Third Brother mention another matter.
"Your notification letter can be picked up by Xiao Yang later. While we are still not on summer vacation and there are fewer people buying train tickets, it won’t be so crowded. Why delay and not head back immediately?"
Fang Chaoyang nodded in agreement with what Zhao Tianlei said.
"Indeed, now that university entrance exams are back, a mass of university students will go home during the summer break. Trains will definitely be packed. You heading back early means you avoid the crush. Once you reach our provincial city, just buy two sleeper tickets, and when you come to Capital City later with your sister-in-law, it’ll also be less crowded."
Zhao Tianlei took over the conversation, "I’ll have your sister-in-law prepare some food for you. Just pack a couple of sets of clothes, and take an electric rice cooker for your uncles. Tell my mother not to bring too many clothes; it’s easier to buy clothes here."
Third Brother, you’ve already decided so much for me.
Third Brother, you’re leaving just like that?
Fang Chaoyang, seeing his expression, couldn’t help but laugh, "Hurry up and pack the clothes you’re taking back."
Back in his room, Zhao Tianlei talked about this with Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned by the swift action.
Hadn’t Zhao Tianhe just come back from school after exams?
And now you’re sending him back home?
"Yes, pack up everything you don’t like to eat, and let Xiao He eat them on the train."
There was brotherly love, but not much.
Yun Xiaoxiao actually went to pack up some snacks she didn’t particularly like.
It wasn’t that she disliked them, she just didn’t feel like eating them at the moment.
She used a small suitcase and packed quite a bit for Zhao Tianhe.
Included were mixed congee, canned fruits, some biscuits, spicy strips, twisted dough sticks, marinated eggs, and other snacks, and she also packed bananas and nectarines for Zhao Tianhe.
Early the next morning, Zhao Tianlei handed a suitcase to Zhao Tianhe, "Your sister-in-law packed all her snacks for you, even put all the fruits from home in here, just pack two sets of clothes."
The sister-in-law had packed snacks for him?
As he unzipped the suitcase and saw the amount inside, Zhao Tianhe felt his sister-in-law was the best to him.
"Xiao He, I packed some dried seafood for you, dried kelp..." Grandma Fang knew that dried seafood was scarce back home, but abundant here in Capital City, and she knew how to utilize it.
That kelp can be boiled, then shredded for a delicious cold salad.
It can also be used to stew bones.
As Zhao Tianlei and Yun Xiaoxiao had classes, and Cao Dali had to look after the pregnant Zhang Lanhua, others were at work or in class.
After breakfast, Zhao Tianhe, carrying a suitcase in one hand and an electric rice cooker in the other, was given a letter of introduction by Zhao Tianlei.
Nowadays, a letter of introduction was as essential as an identity card, needed for accommodations and ticket purchases.
Since Zhao Tianlei rushed the purchase, he managed to board the train without waiting two hours. He was a grown man and initially didn’t want to buy a sleeper, but facing the stares while eating, he simply asked the train attendant to upgrade to a sleeper ticket.
