The military district held a farewell party for Sheng Xijiang, and the children also went with him. Two tables were set up for the children separately.

The stars were surrounded by everyone, and no one wanted to leave them.

Chunsheng turned his head away and wiped his tears. When he turned back, he was still trying to be brave. "It's not like we won't see each other anymore. At worst...at worst, we can both go to the old city to study. That way, we can see each other every day again."

Several children held up cups of water and said, "How about we have a drink and wish the stars a safe journey together!"

The children raised their glasses, imitating the adults' drinking habits, stretched out their arms, and gently clinked their glasses in the middle of the table. "Cheers!"

The crisp sound echoed in the air, and the children had already withdrawn their arms and drank it all in one gulp.

Song Qingming sat next to Diandian.

Diandian held her cheeks and turned her face towards Song Qingming, "Brother Qingming, no one will listen to my reading from now on."

Song Qingming thought for a moment, raised his hand and pinched Diandian's ponytail, and said softly, "You can call me."

Unexpectedly, Diandian quickly shook her head and said without hesitation, "The phone bill is so expensive!"

Song Qingming: "..."

Seeing Song Qingming was stunned, Dian Dian chuckled and said jokingly, "I was just joking with Brother Qingming. I will call you often. Just don't think I'm annoying."

Song Qingming also laughed, "I won't find you annoying. I'll wait for your call."

The adults over there started to feel sad after drinking for a while.

The children sat on the ground in a circle.

Jiang Dong asked, "Will you come back during winter and summer vacations?"

Diandian said, "I will tell my mom to bring me back to see you. I will also bring my younger brothers and sisters with me."

Jiang Dong nodded excitedly, "That's great! Then we'll wait for you to come back during your vacation. Don't forget!"

Diandian said "hmm".

Looking up at the bright moonlight, Diandian suddenly pointed at the moon and said, "If you miss us, just look up at the moon. When you look at the moon, we are also looking at the moon. When we look at the same moon together, we can know how much we miss each other!"

Chunsheng looked at the hazy moonlight with a naive look, and said in confusion, "How do you know when we will look at the moon? We don't know when you will look at the moon either. What if you look at it at seven o'clock and we look at it at nine o'clock?"

Diandian: “…”

alright.

The sadness of separation in my heart has disappeared.

Xingxing and Chunsheng said, "I can't help you with your homework anymore. You have to listen carefully in class and stop playing with your marbles. Only by studying hard and listening carefully can you get into university and come to see us in the Forbidden City!"

Public execution.

Chunsheng's black face was a little embarrassed. He made countless fake movements in three seconds, and finally smiled, showing his small white teeth. "I tried my best to listen to the class, but the teacher spoke too fast and I couldn't keep up."

Jiang Dong said seriously, "I can lend you my notes, and we can do homework together in the evening!"

Chunsheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Okay, okay."

The adults hadn't finished yet, but the children were already sleepy and sat in a row on the threshold outside the door, feeling drowsy.

Diandian soon lost control of her little head. With a snap, her little head tilted and fell on the shoulder of Song Qingming next to her.

Song Qingming just remained motionless.

Until the adults' drinking party was over, Sheng Xijiang drank some wine, his eyes were slightly red, and he walked out the door and saw a group of little kids sitting side by side.

Sheng Xijiang walked over, patted his children's heads from behind, and said softly, "It's time to go back."

Xingxing stood up immediately, and Diandian was also awakened. The two little ones followed Sheng Xijiang, waving goodbye as they went home.

Three days later it was time to say goodbye.

We all went to the train station to see them off.

They gave Xingxingdiandian the gifts they had prepared, and her schoolbags were filled with them.

As the train came rattling by.

The two little ones got on the train with Sheng Xijiang.

Several friends who were seeing them off looked at them with tears in their eyes, waved their hands vigorously and said goodbye loudly.

Hope to see you again.

Hope to see you again soon.

——

The old lady took Chao Chao Mu Mu to the train station to pick someone up.

Probably because he was frightened by the human trafficking case a few days ago, little Yuanyuan was very well behaved. He held the old lady's hand tightly with one hand and stood on tiptoe trying to look around. However, he was too small and could not see anything except the person's legs.

Until the old lady shouted, "Xijiang!"

Chao Chao Mu Mu quickly straightened her little face and looked in the direction of her grandmother's voice, but still only saw a bunch of very long legs.

It wasn't until a pair of huge legs stood in front of them that the two little ones tried hard to raise their little faces and said, "Daddy!"

When Sheng Xijiang saw the twins he hadn't seen for a long time, a handsome smile appeared on his face. "Are you two good boys?"

Xiao Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, "You're so good, Daddy, Mommy's on TV!"

Sheng Xijiang smiled and said, "Dad knows."

The old lady pulled Xingxingdiandian forward and took a good look at them to make sure they were not thin. "This is not the place to talk. Let's go home quickly. Auntie has prepared dinner."

Come to the villa.

When Diandian saw the flowers that filled the entire yard, she couldn't stop exclaiming, "Grandma's house is so beautiful!"

Little Yuanyuan tightly grasped her sister's two fingers and said in a baby voice, "Sister, I helped decorate your room. It's so beautiful!"

Diandian picked up her sister and kept kissing her little cheeks. The flesh on her cheeks was soft and kissing them felt like kissing cotton, which was very comfortable. "Thank you, Xiaoyuan."

Xiao Yuanman chuckled.

Two short, fleshy little arms tightly hugged Diandian's neck, "Sister is finally here, someone is here to play with me!"

The whole family gathered around the table, with Zhou Sese being the only one absent. Xingxing couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, when can my mother return home? When will the competition be over?"

The old lady smiled and said, "It's almost there, in about two weeks. Your mother did very well in the competition and is the pride of our country!"

The stars and dots couldn't help but raise their little heads proudly, as if they were the ones being praised.

The old lady's gaze fell on Sheng Xijiang again. "You can't report for duty right away, right? You have a vacation, why don't you take a good rest?"

Sheng Xijiang smiled and shook his head, "Godmother, I have to report there early tomorrow morning and officially start work the day after tomorrow."

The old lady couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "We've been on the train for such a long time, and you don't even have time to rest?"
