Cheng Wenkai noticed that his wife had been somewhat distracted ever since they came back home, and she remained so even after they arrived. Cheng Zhuo had been calling his wife for a long time, but she didn't respond.

“What’s wrong? Are you so sad about leaving the brigade? We can visit every year,” Cheng Wenkai said.

"What's your opinion of Song Yan?" Li Yuanzhao asked her husband.

Cheng Wenkai thought for a moment, "She's very smart and capable. But her capability isn't the kind that comes from just talking."

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

"Song Yan is not only someone who seeks revenge, but she is also kind to others if they are kind to her."

She was particularly close to the few people who left with the main group, so perhaps she knew things that others didn't…”

So the couple originally had no plans to have children, but now it's on their agenda.

…

The army had always wanted to assign Lao Zeng a bodyguard, but he refused. Only now, when he was about to return home, did Lao Zeng finally agree to it.

With Lao Zeng's bodyguard Di Jianjun in place, the family was about to set off.

The day before their departure, Wei Aiguo and Song Yan borrowed a horse-drawn carriage from the brigade and had their luggage and two dogs transported away.

Actually, it was to have Song Yan put them all into his space.

On the day he left, about 80% of the people in the brigade came to see him off.

Yueyue felt no sadness at parting, and Di Jianjun, having only been there a few days, certainly didn't have any particular thoughts.

Others felt reluctant to part with it.

I have a deep affection for the green mountains and clear waters here.

They got up early to catch the first bus to the county.

Old Zeng will definitely go to pay respects to his sister.

Old Zeng also stood in front of Su Yinghong's grave for a long time.

They had taken all their large luggage in advance, so it was easy for them and their personal belongings to get on the train.

Wei Ping, Wei An, and Yueyue were all incredibly excited about their first train ride.

Yueyue kept saying it was a pity that Baishuang and Heizai didn't take the train.

With such a large family, Song Yan dared not take anything from his spatial storage, which broke Wei Aiguo's heart.

There's really not much good food on the train; you'll have to rely on what you bring before boarding. But it's hot, so don't expect to bring enough food for the whole journey.

Fortunately, Wei Aiguo and Xiaohu carried two large willow baskets filled with tomatoes and cucumbers. With so many people, each person received one, which reduced the quantity considerably.

Song Yan was the last to take a bite. She picked and chose, while Wei Aiguo helped cover it up by adding a little more.

These persimmons and cucumbers are very popular; even Yueyue can eat a cucumber by herself.

The refreshing scent of cucumbers attracted the children in the next bed. A four- or five-year-old boy ran over and stared at the cucumber in Yueyue's hand. The adults quickly chased after him, picked him up, and took him away, apologizing repeatedly. The child didn't cry.

I don't dislike families like that.

Song Yan handed Yueyue a cucumber, saying, "Go and take it to your little brother."

Wei Ping really acted like a good older brother. As soon as he heard his second aunt's words, he immediately picked up Yueyue and headed towards that house.

Yueyue wanted to play with the children whenever she saw them, and Wei Ping stayed with her the whole time, not letting his little sister out of his sight.

The whole family, ten people in total, ate very sparingly, and by the time they arrived in J City, there was hardly anything left.

They got off the train in the morning, and the next train wasn't until midnight. Within a day, Song Yan was already thinking about selling the duck eggs he had promised Cao Zhang.

Wei Aiguo hesitated.

Song Yan felt that she was in a good state, so she kept looking at her man with a pleading look in her eyes.

Wei Aiguo couldn't hold on any longer, but luckily he was allowed to stay with him.

Wei Aiguo first settled everyone in the guesthouse, and then they had a meal.

He had just taken his wife out. They didn't need to worry about these people after they left, because Di Jianjun would take care of them.

Wei Aiguo and Song Yan returned before dark, with more than 10,000 yuan more in their pockets.

Of course, when Wei Aiguo and Song Yan returned, they brought back a lot of food. This was better than eating at the state-run restaurants.

The food there is expensive, and Aunt Wei doesn't feel comfortable eating there.

In the middle of the night, the family boarded a train to Beijing again…

Wei Aiguo really wanted his wife to eat well at every meal.

Wei Aiguo looked at Song Yan and said, "The next stop is a major station, we'll probably stop for about thirty minutes. I'll carry my basket to the platform and take a look."

Song Yan understood almost instantly, "I'll walk over there for a bit in a bit, just for a stroll."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Before each stop, the train announcement would say: "Passengers, the next stop is xx station... Passengers, train xxx will arrive in x minutes..."

Wei Aiguo picked up the willow basket. "I'll go to the platform and take a look!"

Aunt Wei panicked, "Weren't we not there yet?"

Wei Aiguo: "Mom, this is a big station. The train stops for a long time. There are vendors selling things on the platform. I'll go down and see if I can buy some food for Xiaoyan."

When Aunt Wei heard that it was for Song Yan to buy food, she didn't object. She grabbed her son's hand, "Then you have to get on the train quickly after you've bought the things. Don't let the train fall behind."

"Second Brother, I'll go with you!" Little Tiger said.

"No need, many people will get off at this stop. Just keep an eye on the children," Wei Aiguo said, and Xiaohu obediently watched over the children.

Wei Aiguo walked towards the train door with the other passengers who had arrived at their destination.

The bus came to a complete stop, people got off at their stop, and then people got on.

Song Yan stood up.

"Where are you going?" Aunt Wei asked.

"I'm tired of sitting, I'm going for a walk," Song Yan said.

"Second sister-in-law, I'll go with you!" Chunyang stood up.

"No need!" Song Yan whispered to Chunyang, "I need to go to the restroom. Wait for me, I'm in a hurry!"

Song Yan got up and slowly walked out of the sleeper car.

There aren't many people on the train now, and there are still quite a few empty seats.
