This year, they didn't go back to the village to pay New Year's greetings. Knowing that Wu Tong would be leaving 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 since there aren't many visitors at his house, it's time for the child to have some quiet time. After the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, things will get chaotic again at the Wu household.
My daughter's place is a bit small after all, so it's bound to bother Tongtong with all the comings and goings. It's easier to deal with when the child is not at home.
Wu Jingzhong wanted to book a ticket for Wu Tong to go to Beijing on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. After settling Wu Tong in, he would rush back to work overnight. Since he was running out of time, he asked for a day off from work. Because of Wu Tong's excellent grades, and knowing that he would be sending his child to study in Beijing after the Lunar New Year, the bureau's leaders specifically asked him to take good care of Wu Tong.
After so many years, a small county like Xincheng has produced such an outstanding child as Wu Tong, who is also the child of a member of their bureau. The leaders of the Agricultural Bureau feel that they can speak louder and proudly when speaking 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. It goes directly there, and I won't get off halfway. I asked Teacher Li about the bus that goes directly to the school. Teacher Li said they will pick me up and take me to Peking 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 could pick her up. Such thoughtfulness and responsibility were so grateful that she couldn't refuse.
As Wu Tong became more familiar with Professor Li Yisheng as she contacted him more frequently, 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 less for two days!" Jin Yuan said from the side.
When Tongtong was little, he personally went to kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school to see her off each time. This time, he was traveling thousands of miles to study in Beijing, and would be attending 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! It's just right that we can go sightseeing in Beijing together!" Wu Tong was in a dilemma. He hadn't appeased 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 necessary precautions and can act independently. Just let me go!"
"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.
The children might have to go further in the future, and they would gradually grow older. Rather than leaving the child with others and worrying about it, he would rather be hard-hearted now and cultivate Tongtong's independence. At least now they are in China, the public security is still good, and they can ask the train police to help look after the child 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 an early lunch, Jin Yuan and Wu Jingzhong drove Wu Tong to the Yingzhou Airport next door. 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 on 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.
Currently, high-speed rail is only available 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.
Arriving at Yingzhou Airport, Wu Tong discovered its long history. Established in 1931, it underwent renovations and expansion after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and flights resumed. It only takes about an hour to get from Yingzhou to his home, making it much more convenient for him to get home.
In my past life, my income was limited, and flying was a rare option. Now, while I'm doing well academically and have achieved some success, I still lack experience in life, and I can't compare to the more experienced 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 limited the number of suitcases to two because they were afraid that Wu Tong would find it too strenuous. The suitcases were four-wheeled universal wheel suitcases that they specially selected, which could be pushed around and were light and effortless.
If it weren't for the fact that winters in Beijing are even 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 forget the time because you're so absorbed in studying. Don't be afraid to spend money on what you want to eat. You can 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 repeatedly reminded their children that being at home for a thousand days is better than being away for even a day. Their children had never lived away from home for a long time, so how could they be at ease?
·········
"Dad, uncle, I'm going into the waiting room. Be careful on your way home. I think I'll be almost in Beijing by the time you get home. I'll report back to you after I land!"
Upon arriving at the airport, the Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yuan brothers took Wu Tong through the check-in procedures and exchanged their boarding passes. Neither of them had much experience with flying, but they had experience on business trips. The 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.
"Next month, I'll go to Beijing to see you at the Beijing Auto Show!"
Jin Yuan touched Wu Tong's head, his heart almost filled with tears. How could it have happened so quickly? The little girl he had held in his arms before had grown taller than him, now old enough to fly out of the house and 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 a task for her uncle.
Sure enough, Jin Yuan immediately became extremely excited.
"Okay, no problem. Just wait for my uncle to come to Beijing to invite you!"
