"Xiao Wang, can I talk to Bingchen for another fifteen minutes, no, ten minutes?" Zhou Jin pleaded.

“Mr. Zhou, you don’t want to meet with Pearl and the others this afternoon? You need to rest now so you’ll have the energy this afternoon. Otherwise, you’ll have to meet them tomorrow morning,” Wang Jing said sternly.

"No, Xiao Wang, I'll be good. I need to see Pearl and the others this afternoon," Zhou Jin said hurriedly.

If we talk for ten minutes now, we'll lose half an hour in the afternoon.

Zhou Jin was clear about this.

“Grandpa, I just borrowed your car from Auntie. I’ll pick up Pearl and the others from the train station this afternoon. Don’t worry, I’ll bring them to see you as soon as they arrive,” Zhou Bingchen said, standing up.

Zhou Jin nodded, waved, and closed her eyes, but felt secretly delighted.

Hey! He's incredibly smart.

He hasn't said a word yet. Maybe Dr. Wang will be lenient this afternoon and let Pearl and the children spend a few more minutes with him!

Tao Jiadong's arrangements were very thoughtful. Zhao Zhenzhu and her group traveled in soft sleeper berths.

Four people fit perfectly into one private room.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhenzhu gave her two children a safety lesson. She shared one or two examples from newspapers in her previous life about the dangers of encountering thieves, swindlers, and kidnappers on the train.

The two children listened, completely bewildered.

Zhao Zhenzhu's safety education was relatively successful.

After boarding the train, the children didn't fuss about going out to play; instead, they sat quietly in the carriage reading. When they got tired, they would lie down and take a nap.

Most of the guests in the soft sleeper section are people of some status or position.

The sleeper carriages are less crowded and have a better environment, with police officers standing guard at the carriage doors.

The things Zhao Zhenzhu feared before going out, such as "encountering kidnappers" or "encountering thieves," never happened.

Along the way, everyone slept and ate, ate and slept.

Two days and one night later, the train arrived in Beijing.

As soon as Zhao Zhenzhu got off the train, she spotted Zhou Bingchen in the crowd.

Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun also saw it.

There was no way around it; Zhou Bingchen was just too outstanding. With his tall stature and handsome face, he stood out like a radiant light in the crowd, attracting countless eyes.

"Dad~!" Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun called out in unison and rushed towards Zhou Bingchen.

"Jiakai, Yunyun." Zhou Bingchen patted the children's heads, his tone filled with surprise.

If the two children hadn't spoken up, Zhou Bingchen wouldn't have realized that the two children wrapped up like "balls" were his own.

(Zhao Zhenzhu: You're the ball, your whole family are balls! Uh, wait, she seems to have accidentally cursed herself into the mix.)

"Dad, Beijing is so far away! But taking the train is so much fun. The food is delicious, and we can see different scenery outside the window." Zhou Jiakai said excitedly.

Zhao Zhenzhu was wealthy and didn't skimp on her money along the way.

They ate every meal in the dining car.

The food on the train was quite good at this point; apart from being expensive, it was perfect.

"Where's Yunyun? Did she cry?" Zhou Bingchen reached out and gently stroked his daughter's nose, asking with a grin.

"Daddy, don't cry, the train ride is fun," Zhou Yunyun said softly.

While Zhou Bingchen was talking to the children, his eyes were already fixed on Zhao Zhenzhu in the crowd.

Today, Zhao Zhenzhu's appearance is similar to that of her two children, all wrapped up in a round and chubby style.

Before setting off, Tao Jiadong reminded Zhao Zhenzhu that winters in Beijing were much colder than in Taohua Town.

Down jackets had not yet been invented at that time.

Zhao Zhenzhu had no choice but to find a few bulky cotton-padded coats in her spatial storage. The mother and her two children were all dressed in them.

The train traveled north, and the temperature dropped lower and lower.

Before getting off the train, Zhao Zhenzhu heard the weather report on the train and took out several scarves to wrap herself and the children's heads and necks tightly.

Zhao Zhenzhu is very afraid of the cold. She is used to living in the south, where temperatures below zero are already very cold for her.

"Pearl!" Zhou Bingchen quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the large bundle from Zhao Zhenzhu's hands.

Speaking of this joke, Zhao Zhenzhu wanted to complain again.

In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhu was used to traveling all over the country with her suitcase without any trouble.

Now, however, they can only drift with the tide and carry things in bundles.

The bundle looked bulging, but it actually couldn't hold much. Luckily, Zhao Zhenzhu had a spatial ability; her bundle was merely a disguise.

"I'll take it! You just watch the children." Zhao Zhenzhu dodged Zhou Bingchen's hand.

With the bundle light and airy, once Zhou Bingchen carried it, Zhao Zhenzhu would no longer be able to smuggle in any "private goods."

Therefore, Zhao Zhenzhu would rather suffer a little herself than let Zhou Bingchen bear the burden.

"Pearl, let me take the luggage. You must be tired after traveling all this way," Zhou Bingchen said, pursing his lips.

Zhou Bingchen felt uneasy.

If his wife doesn't want to ask him to do anything, does it mean she doesn't treat him like family?

"I told you to just watch over the children. There are so many people, I hope they don't get separated. What difference does it make whether I take these or you take them?" Zhao Zhenzhu rolled her eyes at Zhou Bingchen and said irritably.

"Wife, I'll do whatever you say." Zhou Bingchen held the children's hands and gave Zhao Zhenzhu a fawning smile.

"Cough cough cough..." Tao Jiadong cleared his throat.

From the moment he got off the bus until now, Tao Jiadong has been completely ignored by Zhou Bingchen.

Unfortunately, Tao Jiadong hadn't finished his work and couldn't leave yet. He could only watch Zhou Bingchen and his wife's public displays of affection. Suddenly, I feel so full!

Tao Jiadong was afraid that if he didn't make a sound, he would be sick of eating dog food, so he deliberately cleared his throat to make his presence known.

"Uncle Tao, thank you for your hard work on the journey." Zhou Bingchen then noticed Tao Jiadong standing to the side, and hurriedly let go of the children's hands to shake hands with Tao Jiadong.

"It's not hard work. Bingchen! It's cold, let's leave here first!" Tao Jiadong stamped his foot and urged.

It's really cold today.

Tao Jiadong was wearing a military overcoat, but he still felt a bit cold.

"Let's go, get in the car," Zhou Bingchen said, pointing to the SUV not far away.

Wow! A huge car!

Wow! A car!

Zhou Jiakai and his sister exclaimed in surprise.

In this day and age, cars are still a rarity.

No matter how much money an individual has, there's nowhere to buy one. You need to be at a certain level to have the right to use a car.

It can be said that a car represents status.

"Bingchen, where did this car come from?" Zhao Zhenzhu frowned and asked.

“It’s my grandfather’s. I was thinking that it snowed last night and the temperature in Beijing is low. I was worried that you would catch a cold if you took the bus, so…” Zhou Bingchen explained.

“Bingchen! Don’t borrow Grandpa’s car again next time. We’re just ordinary people, don’t try to bask in glory that doesn’t belong to us,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
