Chapter 260
260. Departure to the Imperial Capital
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother picked up six sacks of clothes and four sacks of vegetables. The rest were two luggage bags filled with dry food for the road.
Father Zhou drove an ox cart to send Lin Qingping, his four elders, and Dabao and five others to the Lin family courtyard in Qinghe City. After another trip, Zhou Ming sent the remaining people to the train station, and then to the courtyard.
The hospital picked up the four elders and took them to the train.
Lin Qingping bought the tickets in advance. They waited for about half an hour before getting on the train. This time they bought tickets for three compartments. The fourth elder brought Xie Yan and Xie Xu to the same compartment. Father Zhou
Zhou's mother took Zhou Mingmin and her daughter, Xiang Yijing and Pangbo, and Lin Qingping and his wife, Lin Qingxi and Dabao, just to arrange everything.
Zhou Mingren, Zhou Jiyuan and Zhou Jihong, as well as the children of the old Zhou family, all had to wait until they got the notice before going to the imperial capital to find Lin Qingxi. They didn't want to go there so early and add to Lin Qingxi's burden.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please look at the five Dabaos. I'll go to the two carriages next door to take a look and explain to them." After Lin Qingxi put down her luggage, she planned to go next door to see Father Zhou and the others. This was their first time in the car.
I'm afraid they won't be used to the train.
"Okay, you go!" Lin Qingping nodded. He knew that the younger sister was worried about her parents-in-law, and he understood. At the same time, he could also see that the Zhou family was really good to Lin Qingxi.
Lin Qingxi closed the door and went to the next door. When she went, Zhou's father and others were packing their luggage. All ten sacks of luggage were piled in Zhou's father's carriage.
"Mom and Dad, please remember to lock the door when you go to bed at night. Pang Bo, please be alert at night and be careful of someone picking the lock." Lin Qingxi saw that everyone had tidied up well and just whispered a few words.
"Okay, girl Xi, when we finish eating, we will go to your compartment to eat, so you don't have to come over," Zhou's father said with a smile in his military coat. He was very happy in his heart. He could go to the imperial capital. The children at home
All the old people have been to the imperial capital, but two of them have not.
"I know, Dad, we have brought some dry food ourselves. Then we will buy a few vegetables in the car and eat them with the dry food. If you are thirsty, let Pangbo go out to get hot water. There will be no one left to go to the toilet when you go out.
Be careful of human traffickers," Lin Qingxi was worried that Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were out for the first time, and that it would be bad if their good intentions might accidentally rub off on others.
Father Zhou nodded and agreed. Lin Qingxi saw that they had made arrangements, so she hurried back to the next door. She was not worried about Zhou Dajiang's private room. The four elders had brothers Xie Xu and Xie Yan following them. She
Very reassured.
After returning to the box, Lin Qingxi looked at her watch. It was already past one o'clock and it was time for them to have lunch. She found four lunch boxes and four ceramic cups, called Lin Qingping and went to the restaurant together.
Went to get lunch.
"Little sister, what are we going to eat? There are so many of us, so let's get four dishes to go!" Lin Qingping glanced at the vegetable basin. There were ten dishes, including meat and vegetables, and two soups, one was egg soup.
and bone broth.
"Let's have some braised pork, braised fish cubes, spicy chicken diced, braised eel, egg soup and bone soup!" Lin Qingxi thought about it and thought about the people in her family who are basically carnivores.
I also eat meat when I eat, not vegetables.
"Okay, I'll squeeze in to buy while you wait outside." There were still a lot of people shopping for groceries. Lin Qingping was worried that Lin Qingxi would get burned, so she planned to go in and buy groceries by herself.
Lin Qingxi didn't bother to argue with him. She knew that he didn't want her to pay for it, so she didn't bother him and let him go. When Lin Qingping bought the vegetables and came out, she hurried over to pick up the two soups and returned to the carriage.
Went.
"I'll go next door and ask them to come over for dinner." Lin Qingxi put the soup on the table, then went next door to call Si Lao and Zhou's father over to eat together. After the meal, everyone sat and chatted for a while before going back to the carriage to rest.
Went.
It was a hard time on the train, but with Dabao and the five people there, everyone was like having five more pistachios. Soon, the train arrived at the terminal. After the train stopped, Lin Qingping took Xie Xu and Xie Xu.
Yan, Pang Bo and Zhou's father carried the luggage off the train first, leaving two people to look at the luggage. The others went to the car to protect Lin Qingxi and the others from getting off the train, mainly looking at Dabao's five children.
The group of people left the train station and looked at the pitch-black night outside. Lin Qingxi whispered: "You guys wait here for me, and I'll call the rickshaw."
After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she trotted away before everyone could react. After a few minutes, she came over with eight rickshaws. Lin Qingping and Xu Ling took five treasures and two sacks of luggage in one car. Zhou's father Zhou
Mother took four treasures and a sack of luggage in a car, Xie Xu and Xie Yan took two sacks in a car, Pang Bo and Xiang Yijing took two sacks in a car, and Zhou Mingmin took Xie Lu and a sack.
There was a cart with sacks, and the four elders each took a cart with a sack of luggage. Dabao and Sanbao followed the four elders.
Eight rickshaws happened to take them away, leaving Lin Qingxi and Erbao standing there. However, the mother and daughter did not have large luggage, only two small luggage bags, and they did not contain heavy items.
After everyone left, Lin Qingxi took Erbao out and walked toward home for five or six minutes before she saw a rickshaw. She quickly called over, reported her address, and took the rickshaw away.
When they got home, everyone was sitting in the living room to rest. Uncle Li and Aunt Li were preparing dinner for everyone in the kitchen. Seeing Lin Qingxi and her daughter coming back, Lin Qingping hurriedly went up to greet them and said, "You two are touching each other."
Arrived at the rickshaw? We have only arrived a few minutes ago, and Uncle Li and Aunt Li are preparing dinner in the kitchen."
"We walked towards home for a few minutes, then we saw a rickshaw, and then we took the car over. It's really cold. It's even colder in the imperial capital than at home." Although Lin Qingxi didn't feel cold, she never felt cold.
There was also a chill in the air, which was even more obvious than the chill in Zhoujiatun.
"Yes, it's cold in the Imperial Capital, but it doesn't matter if you prepare enough firewood. Just get used to it," Lin Qingping nodded. He had been coming to the Imperial Capital for so many years and had long been accustomed to the climate and taste of the Imperial Capital.
"When do you go to work? Should you sleep here at night or go back to sleep?" Lin Qingxi asked curiously, can you get up and go to work in such a cold weather?
"I'm going to sleep here today, and I'll go back tomorrow. It's extremely cold in the Imperial Capital at night. Before you go to bed, you must remember to check whether there is enough firewood in the kang stove," Lin Qingping shook his head. He originally lived in the house at home.
The two of us are relatively deserted, and since no one has lived there for so many days, the kang is cold. I will go back tomorrow to heat the kang before staying there.
"I know, I will pay attention to it," Lin Qingxi nodded. Fortunately, there are many quilts at home, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people. It is not that the house is not enough, but that there are not enough quilts. In winter, it is impossible to sleep without a quilt.
