A charming military wife travels back to the 1960s, escaping famine across five provinces before finally reaching the cavalry regiment at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, where she begins her life...
That night, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox slept on the double wooden bed.
Egg and Green also insisted on sleeping with them, but after much persuasion from Lu Fangfang and Zhuang Mingcheng, the two little ones finally went back to the kang (heated brick bed) in the inner room.
Lu Fangfang, wearing a coat, sat on the edge of the bed and watched over the two of them for a while.
Those two troublemakers, who knows how many times they'll come back.
It wasn't until late at night that she returned to her inner room.
...
The next day, Lu Fangfang got up early and took the baby Tibetan fox and the baby wild donkey to the breeding farm.
With Sister Shufen taking care of the two little ones, she felt at ease.
She also entrusted all the poultry at home to Sister Shufen.
"Little Flower, go back up the mountain. I'll come back after the New Year and call you again. Be careful when you and Big Fatty are hunting..."
Lu Fangfang gave a series of instructions and then hugged Xiaohua tightly.
After a moment, she stood up, waved her hand, and said, "Go."
"Meow~"
Xiao Hua took a few steps forward, then couldn't help but turn back to look at her.
Lu Fangfang smiled and waved.
"Meow~"
Little Flower shouted and then ran towards the snow-capped mountains in the north.
Lu Fangfang didn't return to the family compound until she could no longer see Xiaohua.
Zhuang Mingcheng had already tidied up at home.
Seeing his wife's low spirits, he went over to comfort her and said, "Xiao Hua has grown up and has her own life, which is a good thing. We'll go see her when we get back from Beijing."
"Um."
Lu Fangfang also knew this was the reason.
But she felt... really sad inside.
Seeing the two boys looking equally downcast, she couldn't help but sigh.
When these two eggs grow up, they will also have their own new lives, just like Xiaohua.
"Fangfang, the car is here, let's go."
Lu Fangfang held the hands of her two children and followed her husband into the jeep heading to the city.
Having lived in Qilian for so many years, my family has accumulated quite a few good things, and I brought them all with me this time.
Including a large bear skin and a huge bear gallbladder.
These are all good things, and the two of them plan to take them back as gifts for the old man.
Zhuang Mingcheng also brought two live snow chickens, intending to let the old man have a taste.
When they arrived at the city's train station, the two of them, carrying their belongings, were about to board the train when they were suddenly stopped by the train conductor.
"Comrade, why are you carrying live poultry? You can't bring that into the sleeper car."
"Comrade train attendant, this is a traditional Chinese medicine for my dad. Don't worry, I promise I won't make the train dirty. I even brought a sack with me..."
Zhuang Mingcheng spoke with great seriousness.
Lu Fangfang suppressed a laugh and quickly led the two children into the sleeper car.
In those days, sleeper train tickets were hard to buy. These two were bought by someone Zhuang Mingcheng asked to buy them. One of them was a lower berth.
After finding their berths, she first let Dandan and Qingqing sit down, and then she put her things down.
It would take several days by train to get to Beijing, and she had a lot of food in her bag.
After a while, Zhuang Mingcheng finally came up carrying two snow chickens.
The two men smiled at each other, then quickly stuffed the snow chickens into a sack, leaving only their necks sticking out.
There was also some feed in the bag, enough for the two snow chickens, but I don't know if they can adapt to the environment on the train.
"Dear passengers, this train is about to depart..."
"Besides~"
"Besides~"
The train slowly started moving.
The family sat on the sleeper berth, gazing curiously out the window.
Especially Dandan and Qingqing, this was their first time riding a train, and they were very curious.
It was already dark when the train arrived in the provincial capital.
Lu Fangfang sat on the lower bunk, holding Dandan in her arms and gently rocking her.
After a while, seeing that Dandan had fallen asleep, she carefully placed him on the bunk next to Qingqing.
"Fangfang, go upstairs and get some sleep. I'll stay here and watch over them."
Zhuang Mingcheng had already taken a nap.
He carefully climbed down from the top bunk and prepared to replace his wife.
Lu Fangfang yawned, also feeling extremely sleepy. She nodded and moved aside.
She washed her face at the end of the carriage, then climbed back to the top bunk and fell asleep.
"Besides~"
"Besides~"
The train moved forward at a leisurely pace.
The family changed trains several times along the way, and it wasn't until five days and one night later that they finally arrived in the capital.
Lu Fangfang held her daughter and peered curiously out the car window.
They were about to enter the station. Ever since arriving in Beijing, she felt like she had entered a sea of red, with slogans and portraits of leaders everywhere.
The people of the capital city looked better, and their clothes and accessories were also better than those of other places.
The main problem is the large number of people; it's much more crowded here than in Qilian.
"Mommy, Mommy, is this... Beijing?"
"Yes, Qingqing, this is Beijing, the capital of our motherland. Your father was born here, and your grandfather should be waiting for us at home now."
As Lu Fangfang spoke, she glanced down at the snow chicken in the sack.
After five days and one night of turmoil, the two snow chickens were still alive, but they looked very listless, as if they were about to die at any moment, and their bodies had also become thinner.
Beside him, Zhuang Mingcheng, holding Dandan, also stared blankly out the window.
He hadn't been back for many years, and the streets of the capital still felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"Passengers, this train is about to arrive at its final destination, Beijing Station. Please disembark in an orderly manner."
...
Zhuang Mingcheng carried things on his back and held two snow chickens in his hands.
Lu Fangfang led her two children, closely following behind her husband.
