Chapter 543 Going to the Capital +1
Xu Feng was waiting for them in the car. Chu Yue was thinking about the departure time of the train heading north, so she didn't talk much with Chen Fengying. After saying goodbye to each other, they got in the car.
Watching the dark green military vehicle go away, Chen Fengying's eyes suddenly turned red for some reason and she wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
She muttered to herself, "Going to the capital is such a great thing, why am I crying? It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing!"
Even the outspoken Chen Dazhuang said sadly, "My chest feels heavy. I'm not happy if I can't see Yuanbao."
"How could you be unhappy, kid? You almost jumped up when you heard about the toy train just now. You're just lucky to have met a good kid like Yuanbao. You don't have to study as much as him. Look at your summer homework. You only wrote a few lines..."
When talking about Chen Dazhuang's academic performance, Chen Fengying kept talking about it endlessly.
Chen Dazhuang quickly raised his hands to cover his ears, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it... What summer homework? I don't have any summer homework!"
Chen Dazhuang resisted reading and writing with all his heart, turned around and ran back towards the compound.
Chen Fengying was so angry that all her sadness disappeared immediately. She was filled with rage and shouted at Chen Dazhuang's back, "You little bastard, you're pretending! You must write this when you go back today—"
The mother and son were arguing when they looked up and saw someone else coming out of the courtyard. It was the same family as Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin. They also brought children with them and were carrying large and small bags, including beautiful leather suitcases, which were much more fashionable than the handbags in Lu Zhanlin's family.
"Deputy Captain Tan, Xiu Li, are you guys...going out?"
Chen Fengying was stunned for a moment, looking at Tan Siqi and Fang Xiuli, as well as Tan Rourou who was in Tan Siqi's arms and still a little sleepy.
With this look, he is not just going out, but going on a long journey.
Tan Siqi replied, "Yes, Xiu Li is going to the capital."
"Going to the capital? Why are you going to the capital too?" Chen Fengying had just seen off Chu Yue who was going to the capital, and then looked at Fang Xiuli who was also going to the capital. Her mind was in a tangle for a moment and she couldn't think straight.
Fang Xiuli frowned slightly and said, "I'm going back to my parents' house and taking Rourou there for the summer vacation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fengying immediately raised her hand and slapped her forehead. "Oh my! Look at my brain! I actually forgot such a big thing. That's right... Your parents' home is in the capital, and you have to go back every winter and summer vacation."
According to the usual schedule, Fang Xiuli would have taken Tan Rourou back to the capital a month ago at the beginning of summer vacation.
But something went wrong this year. Chu Yue suddenly went to the front line, and He Meijiao was still making trouble in the city. Fang Xiuli was worried about Ye Zhaodi who was alone, and Chu Yue's small shop, so she stayed and worked as a clerk for a month without complaint.
Now that all the problems have been solved, there is still a month left in the summer vacation. Fang Xiuli still wants to go back to the capital to visit her parents and take Tan Rourou to meet her grandparents.
Chen Fengying recalled these things and said excitedly, "Sister Chu is going to the capital, and Xiu Li, you are going to the capital too. You are going together, so why don't you go together? You are going to the train station too, right? If you go together, you can look after each other, which is so convenient."
Chen Fengying spoke excitedly, but Fang Xiuli gave a completely different answer.
Fang Xiuli said, "We are not going to the train station."
Chen Fengying was stunned. "Ah? If not going to the train station, how are you going to the capital?"
Tan Rourou was in Tan Siqi's arms at this time. She was awakened by Chen Fengying's loud voice and said drowsily, "Aunt Chen, my mother said we should go to the provincial capital. There is an airport in the provincial capital. We can take a big plane and reach grandma and grandpa's house in a few hours."
Chen Fengying: ...
Chen Fengying was completely stunned. What provincial capital? What airplane? She really didn't dare to think about it, but it came out of Tan Rourou's mouth so easily.
"So...that's how it is..."
The current Fang Xiuli is no longer the Fang Xiuli of the past. If it were her in the past, she would show off with a sense of superiority when doing things like taking a plane, after all, it was too normal for her.
Now she has more concerns.
They were both going to the capital, but Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin were honored but only took the train, while their family easily took a plane, which would immediately steal Chu Yue's limelight and make everyone feel unfair.
So Fang Xiuli didn't tell anyone, not even to Chu Yue.
It was just a coincidence today that Chen Fengying happened to see me.
Fang Xiuli changed the subject and said, "Rou Rou, say goodbye to Da Zhuang. We will come back after school starts in the fall."
"Da Zhuang, goodbye." Tan Rourou waved to Chen Da Zhuang.
Tan Siqi nodded to Chen Fengying, "Sister-in-law Chen, we're leaving first."
"Oh oh oh...you guys...have a nice trip."
Chen Fengying was dazed and stood there for a long time, until Chen Dazhuang pulled her hand and said, "Mom, what does it feel like to fly on a plane?"
"I've never been on a plane, so how would I know?" Chen Fengying seized the opportunity and grabbed Chen Dazhuang's ear. "Don't even think about going out to play today. Go home and do your homework! If you don't do it, you'll get your butt chopped off!"
"Ah—I don't want to be spanked—"
Every child’s colorful summer vacation life has really begun.
…
Chu Yue didn't know what happened to Chen Fengying later, and the family arrived at the train station.
On the platform, Xu Feng handed the luggage to Lu Zhanlin, "Tuan Lu, sister-in-law, have a safe trip! Come back soon with your medals of honor!"
"Uncle Xu, goodbye!"
Lu Yuanbao waved at Xu Feng and watched him leave.
Chu Yue looked at the strange yet familiar scenery around her, and remembered that last winter, she brought Lu Yuanbao here and met Xu Feng for the first time on the platform.
Less than a year has passed, and the past events are still vivid in my mind, but because so many things happened in between, it seems like it happened a long time ago.
After getting on the train, Lu Zhanlin put his luggage away, went to the conductor to get some hot water, and then returned to sit next to Chu Yue. He found that Chu Yue still looked thoughtful.
Lu Zhanlin asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Chu Yue said, "I was thinking about the first time we met."
Lu Zhanlin's expression changed, and a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face.
At that time... it was also on the train. Chu Yue brought Lu Yuanbao on board. Lu Zhanlin clearly recognized her identity, but deliberately pretended not to know her.
Later, by accident, Lu Yuanbao called him "Dad" and with the help of Chu Yue, he healed his hand injury.
It seemed as if there was a mysterious force that tightly bound the three members of their family together, making them inseparable.
When Lu Yuanbao heard what Chu Yue said, he immediately said, "That time it was a seat, this time there is a bed."
