Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

"Mom, look. The Foreign Affairs Office is not far ahead! We are almost there."

Lin Changqing took his sister Lin Wanting's hand and pointed to the courtyard with a plaque of "Foreign Affairs Management Office" at the door in the distance to Wang Caixia beside him.

The reason why he knew where the Foreign Affairs Management Office was was because when he set out, he went to the Military Control Commission in the area to inquire.

Then I came all the way here.

Both he and his mother Wang Caixia were familiar with Sijiu City, so they found this place quickly.

Looking in the direction of her son's finger, Wang Caixia also saw the plaque.

"Well, we're almost there, you can go in by yourself later."

The most powerful official Wang Caixia came into contact with was the director of the Military Control Commission in the Tongluo Hutong area. In her mind, the Foreign Affairs Management Office was a very large government agency and she did not dare to contact it.

"Mom, the sun is so strong right now. You and your sister can follow in later. There won't be any trouble."

Lin Changqing glanced at the high sun. Although it was May, Lin Changqing didn't want his mother and sister to be exposed to the sun.

The mother didn't want to go in because she was afraid of coming into contact with official agencies and getting him into trouble.

Lin Changqing knew very well what his mother was thinking. Not only his mother, but other ordinary people were also thinking the same.

They are all afraid of coming into contact with officials. Since ancient times, the people have not fought against officials, and everyone is afraid of officials.

Especially the common people who had experienced the invasion of the Japanese devils and the exploitation of the Kuomintang army.

They have a deep fear of those people in the government.

Lin Changqing knew that the government was different now than before, but Wang Caixia didn't know that. Her worries were not relieved by Lin Changqing's words.

"Forget it. You'll be busy later. If your sister and I go, it might cause you trouble."

Wang Caixia insisted on not going because she didn't want to affect her son's future.

After hearing what his mother said, Lin Changqing did not persuade her immediately. Instead, he looked around to see if there were any shops or something. Since his mother did not want to go, he did not insist.

However, before he went to do his work, he still had to settle his mother and sister. He didn't want them to be exposed to the sun.

After looking around, Lin Changqing saw some shops and selected a rice noodle shop before turning back to Wang Caixia and saying,

"Mom, if you don't want to go, I won't persuade you anymore. However, the sun is so strong now, you and your sister can't stay outside in the sun. Come on, I'll take you to a place to rest."

Hearing that her son no longer insisted, Wang Caixia felt relieved. As long as she was not allowed to go to the government agency, she was not afraid of anything.

Following Lin Changqing, Lin Wanting and Wang Caixia soon arrived at the door of a rice noodle shop.

As the three of them reached the door, a clerk came out.

"What would you like to eat, please?"

Lin Changqing was just about to ask what kind of rice noodles were available when Wang Caixia answered first.

"I'm sorry! We're not hungry yet, we don't need to eat."

"Mom, it's already past ten o'clock. It's been several hours since we had breakfast this morning. How can we not be hungry?"

Lin Changqing was not hungry now, but he wanted his mother and sister to wait for him in the store, so he needed something to eat in the store before he could sit in the store with peace of mind.

He is not that shameless. He would not sit in someone else's shop after chatting with them for a while. They also want to do business.

Wang Caixia also understood what her son meant. She was about to say that she and her daughter could rest under the tree, but Lin Changqing pulled her hand and led her into the store.

"Shopkeeper, I want a portion of your signature rice noodles."

"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll serve you right away!"

The waiter thought the three people would leave, but he didn't expect the young man to order food directly. However, he felt a little strange after ordering only one portion.

But he didn't care what other people wanted to order.

Lin Changqing had already placed the order, and Wang Caixia knew that it was impossible to return the order, so she could only follow Lin Changqing to the store.

Lin Changqing felt relieved only after his mother and sister sat down.

"Mom, you and sister wait here for me. I know you're not very hungry, so I ordered some rice noodles. You two can eat together later."

"Sister, you have to listen to me, stay by my side and don't run around."

"Brother, I understand. I will listen to mother!" Lin Wanting was relatively well-behaved. She also knew that she had to follow her mother when she was outside.

"Okay, Qingzi, I will take good care of Tingting, just go and do your things with peace of mind."

"Tingting and I will be waiting for you in the store. We won't leave."

Wang Caixia was still somewhat blaming her son just now. She ordered a bowl of rice noodles to take a rest. Although it was not expensive, she was reluctant to spend the money as she was a traditional thrifty person.

While she felt sorry for the money, she was more happy in her heart. Lin Changqing brought her and her daughter out and took care of her everywhere, which made her very touched.

She felt her son's filial piety, and her son had finally grown up.

"Okay! I'll go first then. I'll come out later and pay the bill!"

After Lin Changqing finished speaking, he left.

Wang Caixia and Lin Wanting kept looking at Lin Changqing's back until he disappeared from their sight.

"Tingting, you have to listen to your brother from now on, okay?"

After Lin Changqing left, Wang Caixia turned around and looked at her daughter and said.

She hoped that her daughter and son could get along well with each other. After getting along with each other, she knew that her son liked her daughter very much.

Before her son came back, she was a little worried that her son didn't like her daughter, but now she has no worries at all.

"Mother, I will listen to my elder brother!"

Just then, the clerk's voice rang out.

“The signature pork stew with vermicelli is here!”

"Please take your time, be careful with the heat!"

The waiter placed a bowl of vermicelli in front of Wang Caixia.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Wang Caixia watched the clerk put the vermicelli away before speaking.

"You're welcome." The clerk noticed that Lin Changqing was not there, so he left quietly without asking any questions.

On the other side, Lin Changqing soon arrived at the door of the Foreign Affairs Management Office.

Seeing a soldier with a gun on his back guarding the place, Lin Changqing came up to the soldier. Before he could say anything, the soldier spoke first.

"Comrade, what are you doing here?"

"Hello, comrade, I'm here to register the information of international students."

As Lin Changqing spoke, he took out a certificate and said, "This is the certificate I got from the Military Control Commission."

The soldier took the certificate, took a look at it, found that it was indeed the seal of the Military Control Commission, and handed it back.

"For international students, go in here, go to the left, it's the third office, someone will help you when you go in."

"Okay, thank you comrade."

Lin Changqing took back his certificate, thanked the soldier, and went in.

After entering, Lin Changqing walked to the left. The management office was a courtyard house converted into an office area.

Looking to the left, he saw house numbers hanging on the doors of the rooms on the left.

The third room is the registration office for international students.
