Chapter 53 Mission
This year, they did not go back to the village to pay New Year's greetings. Knowing that Wu Tong would leave for Beijing in a few days, the family of three went to the Jin family to pay New Year's greetings and wish a happy new year. Jin Yongqing let the children stay at home.
Tongtong mostly studies upstairs with Jinxin, and there are few outsiders at his house, so the child can have some quiet time. After the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, the Wu family will be restless again.
My daughter's place is a little small after all, so it's bound to bother Tongtong when she's around. It's easier to deal with when the child is not at home.
Wu Jingzhong had to book a ticket to send Wu Tong to Beijing on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. After settling Wu Tong down, he would rush back to work overnight. He was too late to make it, so he asked for a day off from work. Because Wu Tong had excellent grades and knew that he would send his child to Beijing to study after the Lunar New Year, the leaders of the bureau specifically asked him to take good care of Wu Tong.
After so many years, a small county like Xincheng actually produced such an outstanding child like Wu Tong, who is also the child of a member of their bureau. The leaders of the Agricultural Bureau felt that they could speak louder and proudly when they were in public.
However, Wu Tong didn't want to make his father suffer so much, so he argued and went to Beijing alone.
"You will definitely take me to the bus here. The bus goes directly to the school, and I won't get off halfway. When I get there, I asked Teacher Li. Is there a bus that goes directly to the school? Teacher Li said that they will pick me up to go to Beijing University. Dad, you really don't have to go back and forth!"
Teacher Li specifically asked her about her departure time after the New Year and made a special request in advance that she must tell him after booking the ticket so that he would pick her up. Such thoughtfulness and responsibility made her so grateful that she couldn't refuse.
As Wu Tong had more contact with Professor Li Yishen and became more familiar with him, she no longer used the official title of professor, but directly called him teacher. She was basically certain that if Teacher Li did not mind, he would be one of her instructors after she entered the school.
"Tongtong, your dad has to work and it's inconvenient for you, so let me take you there. It won't have much impact if I go to the store two days less!" Jin Yuan said from the side.
When Tongtong was a child, he personally sent her off for kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school. This time, she was going thousands of miles to study in Beijing, and she would go to university in September, so he couldn't miss it.
"Uncle, please don't make things more complicated. When the weather gets warmer in September, I have no objection if you bring your whole family to send me to register! We can also go sightseeing in Beijing together!" Wu Tong was having a headache. He hadn't even comforted his parents yet, and his uncle had to show up to join in the fun. It was like suppressing one problem but causing another to pop up!
"I'm old enough, and I've been on several trips. I know all the things I need to know, and I can act independently. Just let me go on my own!"
"Let's listen to Tongtong!" In the end, it was Jin Yongqing who made the final decision and approved Wu Tong's decision.
The child is so outstanding. To be honest, they never thought they could raise such an outstanding child. Tongtong's excellence comes from her own efforts, not their excellent training.
In the future, the children may have to go further away, and they will gradually grow older. Instead of leaving the children to others, he would rather be hard-hearted and cultivate Tongtong's independence. At least now they are in China, the law and order is still good, and they can ask the train police to help look after them on the way north.
They had never thought that their child would go abroad before, but if nothing unexpected happens, Tongtong will go abroad to compete this summer. Even if there is a teacher leading the team, who is abroad, Tongtong must be able to take care of himself just in case.
The deeper the love, the more you consider the long term!
At noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, after having lunch early, Jin Yuan drove Wu Tong to the Yingzhou Airport next door with Wu Jingzhong. They booked a flight to Beijing at 2:30 pm.
Wu Tong slapped his head and realized that he had forgotten that there was an airport closest to his home right here.
She originally planned to take the train. There are many direct trains to Shangjing. She could buy a sleeper berth for the 6:30 in the morning train, which would take about ten hours to get to Shangjing, and arrive before 5:00 in the afternoon. Trains are now a relatively convenient way to travel.
At present, high-speed rail is only popular in the most prosperous cities. Wu Tong remembers that the high-speed rail in the capital of the Central Plains province will not be opened for two years and is still under construction.
Zhongyuan Airport is in Shangdu, and a round trip takes eight or nine hours, which is too much trouble.
When Wu Tong arrived at Yingzhou Airport, he found that it had a long history. It was built in 1931 and renovated and expanded after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and flights resumed. It only takes about an hour to get from Yingzhou to home, which will be convenient for me to go home in the future.
In my past life, my income was limited, so flying was a rare option. Now I am doing well in my studies and have made some small achievements, but I still lack life experience, and I am not as experienced as my father and uncle.
As for Wu Tong's luggage, except for the books she took with her, her family members screened and selected the rest and packed two large suitcases. They were afraid that Wu Tong would find it too strenuous, so they limited the number of suitcases to two. The suitcases were four-wheel universal wheel suitcases that they specially selected, which can be pushed around, and are light and effortless.
If it weren't for the fact that winters in Beijing are colder than at home, Jin Yu and Xu Meifeng would have considered bringing fewer clothes, as winter clothes take up too much space.
"Wear more clothes when it's cold, and be sure to eat on time. Don't be so absorbed in studying that you forget the time. Don't be afraid to spend money on what you want to eat, just buy it at school. If you really can't find it, call us and we'll send it to you!" You can also send it by train.
Before leaving, Jin Yu and Xu Meifeng reminded them again and again. It is good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a day. The child has never lived outside for a long time, so how can they feel at ease?
·········
"Dad, uncle, I'm going into the waiting room. Be careful on your way home. I think you'll be home soon, and I'll be in Beijing soon. I'll report to you after I land!"
As soon as they arrived at the airport, Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yuan took Wu Tong to check in and exchanged their boarding passes. They had hardly ever flown a plane, but they had been on business trips before. The two brothers figured it out and completed the formalities smoothly.
As boarding time was approaching, Wu Tong hugged his father and uncle one after another.
"I will go home as soon as possible!" On the road of in-depth research, studying far away is unavoidable, but she can go home often. She will work hard to earn scholarships so that the cost of going home cannot keep up with the speed at which she earns money.
"I will go to Beijing to see you at the Beijing Auto Show next month!"
Jin Yuan touched Wu Tong's head, and was so emotional that tears came out. How could it be so fast? The little baby in his arms before has grown into a big girl taller than his shoulders, and she is old enough to grow wings and fly out of the house to study.
"Okay, uncle, I'll wait for you to take me to eat delicious food!" Her family members would be happy if she could be of use to them. Wu Tong smiled and left the task to her uncle.
Sure enough, Jin Yuan immediately became extremely excited.
"Okay, no problem. Wait for my uncle to come to Beijing to invite you!"
