Chapter 44 Arrival in Beijing

The next day, when Tang Yue woke up in a daze, there was no other sound except the sound of the train running. Listening to the silence in the carriage, she stretched her head and looked down, and accidentally met a pair of eyes. It turned out to be Shen Boyi. She subconsciously smiled and greeted him.

Shen Boyi looked at the person opposite him, greeted him with a dazed smile, and his eyes were deep for a moment.

When Zhao Shengrui heard the noise coming from the shop, he stood up quickly and said, "I'm awake, but I woke you up. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Looking at her lover, Tang Yue spoke in a coquettish voice unconsciously, "I woke up, I couldn't sleep, I wanted to get up, why did you wake up so early?"

"We are all used to getting up so early. In the army, we have to get up at five o'clock for drill. We will get up at this time and can't sleep even if we want to sleep," Zhao Shengrui felt soft in his heart as he watched the little girl acting coquettishly unconsciously.

After Tang Yue got up, she wanted to wash her face. Zhao Shengrui was worried about her, so he hurried to go with her.

"What do you want to eat morning?" Zhao Shengrui was afraid that his little girl would be hungry, so he went to buy it for her.

"I want to drink something hot. How about buying some porridge? Any porridge will do." Tang Yue really didn't want to eat, but she was hungry and had to eat.

"Okay, you sit and wait for a while, I'll buy it for you and will be back soon." Zhao Shengrui was worried that his wife would be hungry, so he hurried to the dining car to buy breakfast.

Seeing Zhao Shengrui go to buy breakfast, Tang Yue took out the cloth for the clothes she wanted to make, as well as the needle and thread. After breakfast, she started to make them. She still had to stay on the train for two nights, and would arrive in Beijing around the afternoon of the third day. The clothes would definitely be finished, but she had to rush the work.

"I bought you some white porridge. It's too late now and there's nothing delicious to eat." Zhao Shengrui brought a bowl of white porridge over, worried that his wife couldn't eat it.

"White porridge is great. Just scoop some mushroom sauce into it and mix it with the food. I can't eat anything else." Tang Yue was a little surprised to see that it was white porridge.

After breakfast, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, then took out the cut fabrics and started making clothes. There were a lot of clothes, so I had to rush the work.

Time passed unknowingly as Tang Yue was busy making clothes. The clothes were just finished at noon on the third day, and arrived at almost one or two o'clock in the afternoon. After picking up all the things, she could not take a shower for the next few days. She could only hide in the bathroom and wipe herself gently with wet paper. She really wanted to take a good shower as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the train was not delayed and arrived in Beijing at two o'clock. Tang Yue wanted to pick up the luggage, but Zhao Shengrui did not let her. "You know how strong I am. The luggage is very light for me."

"I know you're strong, but I still want you to take it easy. Myself and Shen Boyi are enough. There will definitely be someone from home to pick you up, so it won't take long." Zhao Shengrui was reluctant to let his wife carry him.

Tang Yue saw that he really didn't let her lift it, so she carried it on her back, put on a mask and a hat, and covered herself tightly.

Zhao Shengrui and Shen Boyi carried the luggage and protected Tang Yue between them. They walked out of the train carefully and put the things down on the platform outside. "Yueyue, you stay here and watch the luggage. I'll go get the mailed luggage."

"Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you want me to go with you?" Shen Boyi still had some luggage to pick up, so he asked quickly.

“There are about seven or eight of them. Let’s go together. This way we can get it done in one go.” Zhao Shengrui agreed, thinking that it would be faster if two people went together.

Tang Yue watched them pick up the mailed luggage and stood there waiting for them. People passing by were looking at her, seeing how tightly she was wrapped up. But fortunately, because the weather was too cold, Tang Yue brought an extra mask than others.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Zhao Shengrui and his friends came over with their luggage.

The three of them were carrying luggage of different sizes. As soon as they walked out of the train station, they were greeted by someone.

"Captain Zhao, you're finally back. The commander has been thinking about you all the time." The person who came to pick him up was Zhao's bodyguard Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, thank you for your hard work. Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Tang Yue. You already know this one over here, so I won't introduce you to her." Zhao Shengrui introduced his own wife to Xiao Wu so that he would recognize her when they met outside in the future.

"Hello, Comrade Tang, Captain Shen and we are old acquaintances, no need to introduce each other." Xiao Wu saw that they were carrying so many things, and hurriedly took over the one in Tang Yue's hand. There was only one female comrade here, so he had to take care of her.

"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Wu, for taking the trouble to come pick us up." Tang Yue was really grateful, and at the same time she deeply realized that there are privileges no matter where you are.

I put the luggage in the trunk. Fortunately, it was a large military off-road vehicle that could hold all the things. Most of the things in it were dry goods, so there was no need to worry about crowding.

Tang Yue and Zhao Shengrui were sitting in the back seat, while Shen Boyi was sitting in the front passenger seat. There were very few cars and pedestrians on the road, and the car drove for half an hour before arriving at the military compound. The guard at the gate checked and registered before letting them pass.

Halfway through the journey, he dropped Shen Boyi off the car, as his home was closer. "Then I'll go home first, and we'll make an appointment when we have time." After a simple hello, he got out of the car and went home.

The car continued to move forward and arrived in a minute or two. Zhao Shengrui's mother in the house knew that her son and daughter-in-law were coming home today, so they were waiting at home. Hearing the sound of a car at the door, she hurried out.

After Tang Yue got out of the car, she looked at Zhao Shengrui's home. It was a three-story small building that looked to be about 200 square meters in area. The walls were quite high. The houses next to it were almost the same as Zhao Shengrui's home. It looked like a modern villa area. The two neighboring houses were surrounded by walls, and there was a cement road between the two walls, and the width of the road was enough for two cars to pass side by side.

"Hey, my old son is back. I haven't seen him for a while. Have you lost weight?" Tang Yue heard Zhao Shengrui's mother's voice from a distance.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, your son is already at the door of the house, don't run so fast, be careful not to fall", a male voice came from behind, it sounded like Zhao Shengrui's father, shouting at his mother not to run too fast.

When Zhao Shengrui heard his parents' voices, he quickly responded, "I'm back, don't worry, and don't fall."

Then Tang Yue saw a man and a woman walking towards her. They looked to be in their fifties, but they looked quite young despite the fact that they were in their sixties.

"Is this my daughter-in-law? Take off your mask and let me see her. I've heard my eldest son keep talking about how beautiful his daughter-in-law is. I haven't seen her yet, but please let me take a good look at her." Mother Zhao spoke briskly and seemed like someone who was easy to get along with. Tang Yue felt relieved.

"Mom, I'll show it to you later. It's not convenient now. Let's go home later so you can see enough. Don't say you're tired of it then." Zhao Shengrui hurriedly stopped her mother. There were so many luggages and her wife wouldn't run away. It would be fine to show it when she gets home.

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll carry your luggage for you." Zhao's mother was not an ignorant person. Zhao didn't say anything and silently carried her son's luggage.

"Hello, uncle and aunt," Tang Yue greeted Zhao Shengrui's mother and father as soon as she saw them coming out.

"Oh, okay, okay, okay", although the daughter-in-law didn't call mom and dad, it was because she hadn't drunk the tea to change her tone yet. The sound sounded good, Zhao Xiaoxiao responded with a "hmm". On the surface, Zhao Xiaoxiao looked like a very serious person. If Tang Yue hadn't just heard 놛 talking to Zhao's mother, she would have almost believed it.
