Chapter 125
125. Departure, return
Hearing this, the few people were not polite, picked up the bowl and started eating. They didn’t know if they didn’t eat it. They were shocked when they were eaten. The chicken soup had a strong ginseng flavor.
After dinner, it was completely dark outside. Lin Qingxi was worried that it would be unsafe for Village Chief Xie and the others to go back, so she asked Zhang Lei to drive to take Hui Hong and the others home first, and then follow Village Chief Xie and Carpenter Feng to take them back to Ping'an Village.
"Zhang Lei, please help me take them back," Lin Qingxi said with a smile: "I have to send us to the train station tomorrow."
"It's okay, then I'll come here early tomorrow," Zhang Lei said and went to drive.
Before Zhang Lei drove the car over, Lin Qingxi and Huihong chatted for a while. Huihong and her husband Zhou Kai came to have dinner. The son stayed at home to watch for her mother-in-law. They came directly from the hospital, and Qian Zhijie also came alone. He was single and had not found a partner.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Lei drove the car over. He first took Qian Zhijie back to the hospital for duty, and then took Huihong and his wife home, and then came to the army to pick up village chief Xie and the others back to Ping'an Village.
Village Chief Xie and Carpenter Feng drove the ox cart over, but it was windy at night, so Lin Qingxi asked Uncle Xie and Aunt Feng to take the military cart. Village Chief Xie and Carpenter Feng drove the ox cart back.
After seeing everyone off, the room became quiet. Aunt Sun and Zhou Guilin had already packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and hot water was burning in the pot. Everyone was sitting in the yard chatting. A sly moon hung in the dark sky.
"When you finish taking a shower, Xi girl, you and Mingbai go to rest first!" Aunt Sun looked at the tired two people and felt a little distressed.
"Okay, aunt, you and Uncle Lin don't have to get up early tomorrow. I will get up early to prepare breakfast." After chatting for a while, the water heated up. There was no bathroom, so Lin Qingxi could only use hot water to wash it in the kitchen.
After taking a shower, Lin Qingxi went back to her room to rest. In the afternoon, everyone agreed to sleep with Lin Qingxi and Zhou Guilin and his wife in two rooms. Zhou Mingxi was going to be in the living room for only one night.
After Lin Qingxi went to bed, Aunt Sun cleaned up the living room, took the bedding covered from the room and spread it on the bench, and then took out Zhou Mingbai's military coat and placed it on the bench, so that Zhou Mingbai could sleep with the military coat at night.
Zhou Ming realized that he could take a shower soon. After he finished taking a shower, his parents told him to rest in the living room. Then, Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun took turns to take a shower, and the three of them fell asleep quickly.
Not long after dawn, Lin Qingxi woke up. She went into the kitchen to wash and was making breakfast normally. Zhou Ming got up.
"Xibao, why did you get up so early to make breakfast?" Zhou Mingbai looked at Lin Qingxi, and her eyes were filled with her when she woke up just now.
"Don't you still have to catch the train today? I'll get up and make some food and bring it to the train. You can wash it first!" Lin Qingxi said while preparing to make a fire.
Soon, Aunt Sun and Zhou Guilin also got up. After they got up, they asked Lin Qingxi to rest next to her and prevented her from doing things.
Aunt Sun's skills are also excellent. She cooked sweet potato porridge in the morning, and the remaining sweet potatoes were steamed and taken to eat on the way. As for the rice, they were steamed and made into rice balls. The vegetables were fried yesterday, and only the dry goods were left at home.
As soon as Lin Qingxi and Aunt Sun packed up their things, Zhang Lei drove over. Zhou Guilin was carrying two bags, Zhou Mingbai was carrying Lin Qingxi's small suitcase. Aunt Sun and Lin Qingxi were carrying a military kettle across the board, and then they took the car to the train station.
"Uncle Lin, aunt, I won't go back with you. I want to go to the imperial capital," Lin Qingxi whispered to Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun in the car.
"This... Xi girl, it's not safe for you to go alone, otherwise you'll ask Ming to accompany you to the imperial capital! We won't be relieved if you go alone," Aunt Sun said with a worried face.
"No need, it's only two days' journey to the imperial capital here. There's no need to transfer the car. I understand that I have to go back and discuss marriage with my brother! Right!" Lin Qingxi said, turning her head and looking at Zhou Mingbei. If you dare to agree to go to the imperial capital with me, you will be dead.
"Yes, my parents, my elder brother has only been at home for this period of time. I have to talk to him about the marriage. I have to hurry up and hold the wedding while my elder brother and sister-in-law are still at home." Zhou Mingbai was really worried about this. Lin Qingping and his wife would definitely be a regret for Lin Qingxi.
"Okay! Then be careful," Aunt Sun couldn't persuade her, so she could only agree. It was not that she was very arrogant, but that she knew Lin Qingxi's ability.
After arriving at the train station, Lin Qingxi asked Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun to stay where they were looking at their luggage, and took Zhou Mingbai to buy a ticket. She bought three tickets to Feng City, then bought a ticket to the imperial capital, and gave Zhou Mingbai one hundred yuan, food coupons, some meat coupons, and another handful of ginger candy for Zhou Mingbai.
"Uncle Lin was a little motion sick, so it would be much better to let them hold a ginger candy in their mouths," Lin Qingxi told Zhou Mingbi while walking towards Zhou Guilin and the others.
"Xi girl, have you bought the ticket?" Seeing that Lin Qingxi and Zhou understood, Aunt Sun asked immediately.
"I bought it. Your ticket will leave in two hours. I will leave in half an hour. Auntie, Uncle Lin, you must follow me closely, don't be reluctant to eat it," Lin Qingxi whispered.
"We know," Aunt Sun responded, and only she herself knew what she was thinking.
"Xi girl, give it to me. You can take these dry food in the car. Remember to buy some vegetables to eat together," Zhou Guilin handed over a lunch box to Lin Qingxi, and told her lovingly: "We know you are amazing, but you should be careful alone."
"Okay, Uncle Lin, Auntie, then I'll go inside and wait for the car first," Lin Qingxi said, carrying her small suitcase and lunch box and entering.
After Lin Qingxi entered, the train to the imperial capital came. After she waited for the people who got off the train, she squeezed onto the train along the flow of people who got on the train.
The three of Zhou Guilin and his family were at the train station. The temporary atmosphere was also very harmonious. The three of them kept talking about Zhou Ming's marriage with Lin Qingxi. The main reason was that Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun were afraid of being wronged Lin Qingxi, but their own conditions were there, so they felt very helpless.
Soon, the train to Feng City also arrived at the station. Zhou Mingbai took his parents to squeeze onto the train, found the corresponding carriage and location on the ticket, and placed the things. They sat on the lower bunk to rest.
Because Zhou knew that it was inconvenient to climb up and down with one hand, Lin Qingxi bought two lower bunk tickets, which happened to be opposite.
"Dad, you have worked hard with your things. Come up and lie down and take a rest!" Aunt Sun said with distress at Zhou Guilin. The old man is so old and has to work so hard. It's all because his son is not good at being unsuccessful.
"I'm fine, let's go to bed in the afternoon! Just sit here for a while," Zhou Mingxiu saw that his parents were very affectionate and could not say a word. He didn't take off his shoes, so he lay on the bed and started to close his eyes and rest.
