Chapter 27 A New Journey

Two months later, Cheongju Railway Station.

On the platform, Wu's mother took Wu Aike and talked nonchalantly, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Aike, the temperature is low in the capital, remember to wear more clothes..."

"The food there is different from what we eat here. If you are not used to eating in the canteen, just cook it yourself. Xiaojiang is usually busy with work, so you have to share more housework."

"The capital is no better than our Cheongju. The consumption there is higher. If you are short of money, remember to tell your mother."

"Autumn is coming soon, have you brought enough clothes?"

"I heard that the sandstorms there are particularly serious. Remember to wear a mask when you go out."

"Also, the climate in the north is dry, so remember to take protection."

"If you have nothing to do, call home..."

"You went to the Second Investigation Division this time. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to carry them yourself. If you have nothing to do, go to your Uncle Xu's house and walk around."

…………

…………

Deputy Inspector Wu and Li Jie both stood there and watched this scene quietly. Wu Aike had never been so far away except when she was in college. Wu's mother was naturally reluctant to leave.

In addition, it is not easy to go to the capital, and it will be even more difficult to come back. In the days to come, there will definitely be less gatherings and more separation.

Wu Aike looked at her mother with red eyes, and her heart was full of reluctance. As Mother Wu talked more and more, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and they fell down.

"You kid, why are you still crying?" Mother Wu stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her daughter's face: "Although you are being transferred at the same level this time, do you know how many people want to go to the capital but can't?

Well, this is a good thing, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

"mom!"

Wu Aike felt sad when she heard this. She hugged Wu's mother and leaned on her shoulder, crying even harder.

"I can't bear to leave you."

The words "I can't bear to leave you" almost made Deputy Inspector Wu burst into tears. Although he had strong emotion management skills, he couldn't help but his eyes turned slightly red.

Deputy Inspector Wu didn't want his daughter to see his vulnerable side, so he quickly turned his head and said to Li Jie in a serious tone.

"Xiao Jiang, I will leave Aike to you. This child has been more willful since he was a child. You should be more patient."

Li Jie nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat her well and not let her suffer any injustice."

After such a long period of investigation, Deputy Inspector Wu is very satisfied with Li Jie. This kid has a good heart, he is righteous, and he is not pedantic. He is the best choice in terms of education, character, and work ability.

.

Not long ago, on the day when he received the job transfer notice, Deputy Inspector Wu decided to get his two children engaged first.

The engagement party did not invite too many people. Except for the two children, only the parents of both parties attended. Due to work relationships, Li Jie, Deputy Inspector Wu, and Wu Aike could not leave.

For this reason, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came all the way from their hometown. The old couple were overjoyed to hear the news of their son's engagement.

Although they have never met this girl Wu Aike, they have learned a lot from their son.

This girl is a top choice in terms of looks, personality, and education, not to mention she has a father who is a deputy prosecutor.

It is more than enough for his own son.

The parents of both parties were satisfied with the marriage, so the meal was a feast for both the host and the guest. During the first meal, Jiang's father began to call Deputy Inspector Wu brothers, and Jiang's mother and Wu's mother even called each other 'mother-in-law'.

Considering that the two children will be transferred to the capital soon, they will definitely need a period of time to adapt to a new environment.

Therefore, after soliciting their opinions, Father Jiang and Deputy Inspector Wu made the decision to set the wedding date in the second half of next year.

With a one-year buffer period, it is estimated that the two children have established a firm footing, and it is natural for them to get married after settling down at work.

At this moment, the train station's announcement rang.

"Dear passengers, please note that the T6264 express train from Qingzhou to Yanjing will leave in 5 minutes. Passengers who have not yet boarded the train please hurry up and get on the train."

The train was about to leave, and even though Wu's mother felt extremely reluctant to give up, she had to hold it back for the time being.

"Aiko, the car will leave soon. You and Xiaojiang hurry up and get on the car. Remember to call home when you get to the station."

Wu Aike's eyes were shining with tears, and she hugged her parents one after another.

"Dad, Mom, you should pay more attention to your health at home."

"Mom, please keep an eye on Dad. Don't let him drink too much. His last physical examination revealed severe fatty liver. The doctor said that if you don't pay attention, the fatty liver will turn into cirrhosis."

Mother Wu glanced sideways at her husband and nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Mom must take good care of your dad! Don't even think about having a sip of wine at home from now on."

Deputy Inspector Wu smiled awkwardly and promised.

"Don't worry, dad doesn't drink anymore. If he doesn't drink anymore, he must have stopped drinking."

The two sides said goodbye for a while, until the conductor on the platform urged Wu Aike to get on the train.

beep!

beep!

The train started slowly. Wu Aike stood at the junction of the carriages, staring closely at his parents on the platform through the glass on the door, crying and waving his hands.

The straight-line distance between Qingzhou and Yanjing is more than 700 kilometers. There was no high-speed rail in 2003, only regular express and express. Li Jie and his team took the express train, which was already the fastest train.

In this case, they still have to sit for more than thirty hours.

It takes more than thirty hours one way and more than sixty hours round trip. Therefore, if you want to take advantage of the weekend holiday to return to Cheongju, time does not allow it.

When Wu Aike thought of this, the tears in his eyes became more and more unstoppable.

Seeing this, Li Jie couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her: "There is a direct flight from Yanjing to Jiangtan. A round trip in two days is definitely enough. If you really miss home, we will come back then."

.”

Wu Aike thought for a while and felt that flying was too luxurious. Flying back and forth would cost the two of them more than half a month's salary. Then she looked at Li Jie with tearful eyes and shook her head firmly.

"No, didn't we buy a computer for our home and connect the network cable? Then the video will be ready."

Li Jie reached out and stroked her hair and whispered: "Money is for spending. My current monthly royalties are enough for us to go back and forth. There is no need to wrong yourself for money."

"Let's talk about it later."

Wu Aike knew that he could not defeat Li Jie, but he was worried about money, so he resorted to the dragging technique.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you."

Li Jie is very familiar with Yanjing. He has been there countless times in previous dungeons. Although this is a new dungeon, the development of the city has not changed much, but the people in the city are different.

However, for Wu Aike, Yanjing is a strange city that cannot be lived in.
