Xu Feng was driving and waiting for them. Chu Yue was thinking about the departure time of the train to the north, so she didn't talk much with Chen Fengying. After saying goodbye to each other, they got in the car.

Watching the dark green military vehicle going away, Chen Fengying's eyes suddenly turned red for some reason and she wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

She kept muttering to herself, "It's such a great thing to be able to go to the capital, why am I crying? It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing!"

Even the loud-mouthed Chen Dazhuang said sadly, "I feel depressed. I am not happy if I can't see Yuanbao."

"How can you be unhappy? You almost jumped up when you heard about the train toy just now. You are lucky to meet a good kid like Yuanbao. You don't study as much as he does. Look at your summer homework. You only wrote a few lines..."

When talking about Chen Dazhuang's academic performance, Chen Fengying kept talking about it endlessly.

Chen Dazhuang quickly raised his hands to cover his ears, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it... What summer homework? I don't have any summer homework!"

Chen Dazhuang resisted reading and writing with all his heart, and turned around and ran back towards the compound.

Chen Fengying was so angry that all her sadness disappeared, and she was filled with rage. She shouted at Chen Dazhuang's back, "You little bastard, keep pretending! You must write this when you go back today—"

The mother and son were arguing when they looked up and saw someone else walking out of the courtyard. It was the same family as Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin. They also brought children with them and were carrying large and small bags, including beautiful leather suitcases that were much more fashionable than the handbags in Lu Zhanlin's family.

"Deputy Captain Tan, Xiu Li, are you guys...going out?"

Chen Fengying was stunned for a moment, looking at Tan Siqi and Fang Xiuli, as well as Tan Rourou who was held in Tan Siqi's arms and still a little sleepy.

With this look, he is not just going out, but going on a long journey.

Tan Siqi replied, "Yes, Xiu Li is going to the capital."

"Going to the capital? Why are you going to the capital too?" Chen Fengying had just seen off Chu Yue who was going to the capital, and then looked at Fang Xiuli who was also going to the capital. Her mind was tangled for a moment and she couldn't wrap her mind around it.

Fang Xiuli frowned slightly and said, "I'm going back to my parents' house to take Rourou with me for the summer vacation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fengying immediately raised her hand and slapped her forehead, "Oh my! Look at my brain! I actually forgot such a big thing. Right, right, right... Your parents' home is in the capital, and you have to go back every winter and summer vacation."

According to the usual schedule, Fang Xiuli would have taken Tan Rourou back to the capital a month ago at the beginning of summer vacation.

But something went wrong this year. Chu Yue suddenly went to the front line, and He Meijiao was still making trouble in the city. Fang Xiuli was worried about Ye Zhaodi who was alone, and about Chu Yue's small shop, so she didn't leave and stayed, working as a clerk for a month without complaint.

Now all the problems have been solved. There is still one month left in the summer vacation. Fang Xiuli still has to go back to the capital to visit her parents and take Tan Rourou to meet her grandparents.

Chen Fengying recalled these things and said excitedly, "Sister Chu is going to the capital, Xiu Li, you are going to the capital too, you are going together, why don't you go together, you are going to the train station too, right? If you go together, you can take care of each other, how convenient."

Chen Fengying spoke excitedly, but Fang Xiuli gave a completely different answer.

Fang Xiuli said, "We are not going to the train station."

Chen Fengying was stunned. "Ah? If you don't go to the train station, how can you get to the capital?"

Tan Rourou was in Tan Siqi's arms at this time. She was awakened by Chen Fengying's loud voice and said dazedly, "Aunt Chen, my mother said we should go to the provincial capital. There is an airport in the provincial capital. We can take a big plane and reach grandma and grandpa's house in a few hours."

Chen Fengying: …

Chen Fengying was completely stunned. What provincial capital? What plane? She really didn't dare to even think about it, but it came out of Tan Rourou's mouth so easily.

“So… that’s how it is…”

The Fang Xiuli of today is no longer the Fang Xiuli of the past. If it were her in the past, she would show off with a sense of superiority when doing things like taking a plane, after all, it was too normal for her.

Now she has more concerns.

They were both going to the capital, but Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin were honored but only took the train, while their family easily took the plane, which would immediately steal Chu Yue's limelight and make everyone feel unfair.

So Fang Xiuli didn't tell anyone, not even to Chu Yue.

It was just a coincidence today that Chen Fengying happened to see me.

Fang Xiuli changed the subject and said, "Rou Rou, say goodbye to Da Zhuang. We will come back when school starts in the fall."

"Da Zhuang, goodbye." Tan Rourou waved to Chen Da Zhuang.

Tan Siqi nodded to Chen Fengying, "Sister Chen, we're leaving first."

"Ohhh...you guys...have a good trip."

Chen Fengying was in a daze and stood there for a long time, until Chen Dazhuang pulled her hand and said, "Mom, what does it feel like to fly on a plane?"

"I, your mother, have never been on a plane, so how would I know!" Chen Fengying seized the opportunity and grabbed Chen Dazhuang's ear, "Don't even think about going out to play today, go home and do your homework! If you don't do it, you'll get a beating on your butt!

"Ah——I don't want to be spanked——"

Every child’s colorful summer vacation life has really begun.

…

Chu Yue didn't know what happened to Chen Fengying later, and the family arrived at the train station.

On the platform, Xu Feng handed the luggage to Lu Zhanlin, "Lu Tuan, sister-in-law, have a safe trip! Come back soon with your medals of honor!"

"Uncle Xu, goodbye!"

Lu Yuanbao waved at Xu Feng and watched him leave.

Chu Yue looked at the strange yet familiar scenery around her, and remembered that last winter, she brought Lu Yuanbao here and it was on the platform that she met Xu Feng for the first time.

Less than a year has passed and the past events are still vivid in my mind, but because so many things happened in between, it seems like it happened a long time ago.

After getting on the train, Lu Zhanlin put his luggage away, went to the conductor to get some hot water, then returned to sit next to Chu Yue and found that Chu Yue still looked thoughtful.

Lu Zhanlin asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Yue said, "I was thinking about the first time we met."

Lu Zhanlin's expression changed, and a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face.

At that time... it was also on the train. Chu Yue brought Lu Yuanbao on the train. Lu Zhanlin clearly recognized her identity, but deliberately pretended not to know her.

Later, by accident, Lu Yuanbao called him "Dad", and with the help of Chu Yue, he healed his hand injury.

It seemed as if there was a mysterious force that tied the three members of their family together tightly, making them inseparable.

When Lu Yuanbao heard what Chu Yue said, he immediately said, "That time it was a seat, this time there is a bed."
