Chapter 258 Arrived in the Northwest
When the boat arrived at the dock, everyone got off the boat, each carrying a bag of luggage.
Although there are a lot of things, there are even more people, and it is not enough to carry.
Su Ranran just held the baby and didn't need to take anything else.
We were delayed at Pingzhou Island Pier for a long time. Once we arrived at the train station, we only waited for half an hour before Pan Shuifang and his train arrived.
The twins probably sensed something, and they both hugged their grandmother tightly, not letting her leave.
"Wow~ Grandma hug~"
Little Zhaozhao burst into tears on the spot. She always liked to be held by her mother, but now she didn't want her mother.
"I want grandma~"
Little Yanyan pursed her lips, looking as if she was trying hard not to cry.
Pan Shuifang was reluctant to let go in the first place, and now she couldn't stop wiping away her tears.
Gao Fangxia and Shen Yue hurriedly advised her, "Mom, don't cry. They will cry even harder, and your sister-in-law will be worried too."
Su Ranran also comforted her, "Mom, I will send you their photos every month, and I will definitely not let you forget what they look like."
Pan Shuifang was finally comforted.
Seeing that everyone else had already boarded the bus, she didn't dare to delay any longer.
She touched the two babies' faces and said reluctantly.
"My dear grandchildren, I am going back to my hometown. You have to listen to your mother from now on, okay?"
How can young kids understand such complicated words?
They just instinctively felt that their grandmother was going to leave them, so they clamored for her.
But the train waits for no one, and no matter how reluctant Pan Shuifang was, she had to leave cruelly.
Little Yanyan was held in Su Ranran's arms. When he saw that his grandma was really gone, he really cried out loud.
"Wow~ Grandma~"
The little guy usually seems quiet and doesn't cry much, but when he started crying he looked so pitiful that Su Ranran felt heartbroken.
Finally, I held him and coaxed him again and again, and finally I managed to coax him into silence. Their train also arrived at the station.
"Ranran, remember to write to us when you get to Western Province."
This time, the people who were sad became the military wives.
While helping to carry the luggage to the platform, Wang Chunmei gave another reminder.
The look on his face seemed as if he couldn't wait to get on the bus with the others.
This made Li Xinrong, who was standing by, very nervous, and his eyes never left Wang Chunmei the whole time.
He looked like he was ready to pull her back at any time.
The other military wives were also reluctant to leave and kept giving them advice.
Even when the train started moving, they were still running behind.
Looking at the figures running after the train outside the window, Su Ranran couldn't help crying.
"I will write to you!"
Waving at them vigorously, Su Ranran shouted loudly.
The train rumbled further and further away, until the figure on the platform could no longer be seen. Su Ranran sat back in her seat in a daze.
Shen He felt distressed when he saw her red eyes.
But he didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Because he had experienced too many such separations, every time he said goodbye to his comrades, they didn't know if they would have the chance to see each other again in this life.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't sad.
This is the first time in Su Ranran's life that she has been so thoroughly integrated into a group, and she has led them to learn knowledge and skills little by little.
This experience is not only of great significance to the wives of military personnel, but also deeply rooted in the hearts of Su Ranran.
The train continued to move slowly, but Su Ranran's eyes were still a little dazed.
Shen He couldn't bear to see his wife in such pain, and finally couldn't help it. He reached out and pulled her into his arms and comforted her: "If you want, we can come back to see them next time we are on vacation."
After hearing this, Su Ranran finally came to her senses.
Although she still felt sad, she shook her head and said, "We have to go back to our hometown next time we have a holiday. Dad really wants to see Yanyan and Zhaozhao."
They had originally planned to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year. Hearing Shen Guoyao's expectant tone on the phone, Su Ranran couldn't imagine how disappointed he would be when he knew that the twins couldn't go back this year.
Pingzhou Island is too far away from Shuiqiao Brigade, and transportation is inconvenient these days. My husband's vacation time is pitifully short. It takes seven or eight days to go back and forth. If I go to Pingzhou Island again, it will take more than ten days.
It is difficult for them to find time for such a trip.
That's why she was so sad.
Because after this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.
At this moment, Su Ranran deeply felt a phrase that became very popular on the Internet in later generations:
[In the past, the roads were slow, letters were far away, and it was enough to love only one person in a lifetime.]①
If this is true for love, why not friendship?
Shen He was silent. How could he not know how difficult it was to squeeze out some time to go to Pingzhou Island?
This is the helplessness of being a soldier.
In the end, the two said nothing more.
This time, because the journey was too long, it took four days and three nights to reach Daxi Province.
Therefore, Shen He bought a sleeper ticket.
The seats in the soft sleeper are relatively spacious. Unlike the hard sleeper where one booth can accommodate six people, there are only four beds here, and the booths have doors.
Shen He closed the door when he came in just now.
Shen He bought two tickets for the lower bunk, and the family of four sat in the lower bunk on the left.
The two babies had already forgotten that they needed their grandmother's help. Now they sat side by side on the bed and began to chatter.
It was mainly Xiao Zhaozhao who was talking, while Xiao Yanyan was concentrating on playing with her toys.
Xiao Zhaozhao felt unhappy when she saw her brother ignoring her.
“Yes, yes!”
After calling him "brother" in a not very standard way, he finally got a look from little Yanyan.
Seeing that her brother finally paid attention to her, little Zhaozhao grinned.
Xiao Yanyan handed the toy in his hand to her and then went to find something else to play with.
But why did Xiao Zhaozhao want toys? She just wanted to talk to her brother.
After taking the toy, she played with it for a while, then threw it aside and went to play with her brother.
Xiao Yanyan handed the things in her hand to her again.
After repeating this process over and over again, Su Ranran was finally made to laugh.
"Zhao Zhao, be good and don't disturb your brother. Mommy will play with you." Seeing that little Yanyan was concentrating on playing the jigsaw puzzle, Su Ranran took little Zhao Zhao away.
Xiao Zhaozhao just wants someone to talk to her, no matter if it is her brother or her mother.
Her attention was diverted when her mother took her away.
Su Ranran held her and sat next to the window, pointing out the scenery outside the window for her to see.
“That’s a mountain.”
Little Zhaozhao also followed suit.
"Dan~"
That non-standard baby voice made people laugh.
Su Ranran tapped her nose and corrected her with amusement.
"It's not Dan, it's Shan."
Xiao Zhaozhao looked up at her mother, then spoke seriously.
"Dan!"
That serious look makes people's hearts melt.
Shen He was relieved to see that Su Ranran was in a much better mood.
Because the journey was too long, Su Ranran prepared a lot of things on Pingzhou Island.
There is everything to eat, use and play.
The two little ones basically didn't make much noise, so it wasn't too hard for the couple to take care of them.
As the train headed north, the trees on the roadside gradually changed from lush and green to bare.
The family of four took a train for two days and two nights, changed trains halfway, and took another two days and one night before finally arriving at the Qixian Railway Station.
It was the middle of winter and it must have just snowed outside. When we got out of the car, everything we looked around was white.
The two little guys had never seen such a scene before and their eyes widened.
As we head north, the weather gets colder.
Su Ranran and the two babies were wearing high-tech thermal clothing from later generations, with a sweater in the middle and a cotton coat on the outside.
In addition to dressing the two babies in thick clothes, Su Ranran also put hats, gloves and thick socks on them.
He himself was also fully armed.
When she got out of the car, she didn't feel how cold it was.
Shen He went to the train to move the luggage, so she stayed outside the train watching over the two babies and the luggage.
At this moment, suddenly an excited voice came from the side.
"You are Deputy Headmaster Shen's lover, Comrade Su Ranran, right?"
