Chapter 302: Huo's mother went to Beijing to attend the representative conference. "We will eat outside today."
After a pause, Huo Tingzhou continued, "It's just the two of us. After dinner, let's go see a show."
Today, Huo's mother went to Beijing.
We arrived at the station a little after eight o'clock, just in time for the show.
"Watch a performance?" Jiang Si asked in surprise, "What performance?"
"Piano recital."
Knowing that his wife didn't like watching model operas or movies, when he learned that there would be a large-scale concert at the Beijing Exhibition Center Theater in the next few days, Huo Tingzhou asked someone to buy two tickets.
So that's how it is.
No wonder he is dressed so formally today.
In fact, this performance was already available during the Chinese New Year, but tickets were not sold to the public.
Those who have the opportunity to see the performance are basically cadres at or above the ministerial level and their families.
And there are only two tickets per person per month.
There were many people in the family and it was Chinese New Year, so Jiang Si did not mention this matter.
I didn't expect that he remembered everything.
As they were talking, the car had already stopped at a long-established Western restaurant near the Beijing Exhibition Center Theater.
Jiang Si looked up and saw that it was the famous Lao Mo.
Like most of the time-honored brands in Beijing, in order to ensure operations in this special era, most of them have abandoned their original names.
Lao Mo is no longer Lao Mo, but has been renamed Beijing Exhibition Hall Restaurant.
Prices at Old Moxi Restaurant in 1970
The price is naturally higher than that of ordinary state-owned restaurants, but for two people, you can still eat a full meal for just a few dollars.
After dinner, the two walked to the Beijing Exhibition Center Theater.
Due to the great movement, the piano concert originally scheduled for more than three hours was finally compressed to one hour and forty-five minutes.
The programs performed are basically red songs that are well-known in this era.
But in this day and age, being able to sit in a theater and watch an entire concert is a rare opportunity for Jiang Si.
Especially the final piece, the piano performance of "Yellow River", aroused the chorus of the whole audience.
Even after the concert ended, the audience still felt a little reluctant to leave.
After watching the show, time was right.
Today's train was delayed, arriving more than an hour later than the expected time.
It was late at night and there were a lot of people, so the two of them bought platform tickets and went inside to meet them.
The wind was very strong at night.
There was no one else on the platform except a few scattered staff members.
Huo Tingzhou found a corner, pulled Jiang Si to the side, and used his body to block some of the cold wind for her.
"Are you cold?"
When he asked this question, he looked down at the person in his arms.
Jiang Si shook her head.
After a pause, she asked again, "Are you taking the evening bus as well?"
"Um."
When he said this, Huo Tingzhou felt sour and bitter in his heart.
He was leaving that night, and for the next six months he would not be able to be with her and the child.
"Wife?" Huo Tingzhou suddenly called out in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Jiang Si looked up. "What's the matter?"
Huo Tingzhou was silent for a moment, "Tiantian...Tiantian, you don't have to come and see me off."
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then realized, "Why, are you afraid that I won't be able to let you go?"
"No." Huo Tingzhou shook his head, "I..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of a train whistle.
Soon, the train slowly pulled into the station.
As soon as the car stopped, passengers rushed out of the door carrying bags of all sizes.
Jingshi Station is the terminal station.
Since Mrs. Huo had a lot of luggage with her, she was not in a hurry.
After most of the passengers on the bus had left, he walked out calmly with his luggage.
Before Mrs. Huo set off, Brother Huo made a special phone call to inform her of the specific carriage number.
Several people soon met on the platform.
Unlike the day she left, Mother Huo was in a much better mood this time when she came back.
It's just that the sandstorms in Xinjiang are particularly unbearable. After less than a month of marriage, Huo's mother's face has developed a high altitude red.
But seeing her mother-in-law's excited expression, Jiang Si knew it without asking.
My mother-in-law must have known that my eldest brother and his wife wanted to transfer to Beijing.
Moreover, this should be going smoothly.
Sure enough, after the three of them got on the car.
As soon as the car drove out of the train station, Huo's mother could no longer contain her excitement and told Jiang Si the good news.
She also talked a lot about what she saw and heard during her trip to Xinjiang Province.
Jiang Si listened quietly, occasionally agreeing.
By the time Mrs. Huo had almost finished her talk, the car had just driven away from the old house.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but the lights in the living room were still on.
Except for a few children who were asleep, everyone else in the house was sitting in the living room.
Obviously, they were all waiting for Mother Huo's return.
The moment there was a knock on the door, Huo Xuji, who had been absent-minded for almost a month, immediately jumped up from the sofa.
As a result, Qi Wei was too excited and didn't pay attention, and his knee hit the leg of the coffee table with a bang.
He gasped in pain on the spot.
Fourth brother Huo stood up immediately, "Dad..."
