Zhuang Zhimeng didn't sleep in late; she got up as soon as it was light.
Hao Caiyun greeted her daughter as soon as she saw her.
"Ya Ya, you're up so early? I just made some wontons, have a bowl before you go."
Zhuang Zhimeng walked over, hugged her mother, and kissed her.
"Mom, I'll go wash up first, then I'll come over and eat the wontons you made."
After washing up, Zhuang Zhimeng sat down and ate a bowl of "love-filled" wontons with her mother before going home.
Back at her second uncle's house, Zhuang Zhimeng went upstairs as soon as she saw that no one was in the living room.
The man in the bed was still asleep.
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and quietly walked to the bedside to get a closer look at her man.
An Qingbai closed his eyes and stretched out his arms to hug his precious baby.
"Honey, you're back."
"Hehe, how did you know it was me?"
"I can smell my wife's scent."
As he spoke, An Qingbai nestled his head into his wife's arms.
"My wife always smells so good."
Zhuang Zhimeng hugged the man's head and kissed him.
"Honey, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
An Qingbai nodded, hugged his wife, and took off her shoes.
"My wife slept with me. I didn't sleep well last night because you weren't here."
"Okay, then I'll stay with you for another half hour."
"Um."
An Qingbai held his baby and fell asleep immediately.
Zhuang Zhimeng also closed her eyes.
The couple opened their eyes again, exactly half an hour had passed.
"Honey, get up and go have breakfast."
I'll go check on Xiazi and Mengge'er to see if they've packed their things yet.
An Qingbai put his arm around his wife's waist and gave her a deep kiss.
“Honey, you can go ahead. I already arranged with my second uncle yesterday to use his car.”
"Okay, let's discuss who I should drive to the restaurant later."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Mother later."
Zhuang Zhimeng went to Jiang Yanxia's room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
Jiang Yanxia was packing her luggage when she heard a knock on the door and quickly opened it.
"Xiazi, how's the packing going?"
"I'm almost done packing. I'll just put a few clothes in and that'll be fine."
Jiang Yanxia handed the wallet she had finally finished embroidering to Zhimeng.
"Zhimeng, this is my wedding gift to you."
I didn't have time to finish embroidering it at Mengge's house, but I've been working on it these past few days and finally finished it.
Zhuang Zhimeng took the wallet and looked at it.
"This wallet is really small and exquisite. I like it very much. Thank you, Xiazi."
"The gift I give you must be carefully chosen."
I used the most complex embroidery technique my grandmother taught me; it's guaranteed to last a long time without the threads coming undone.
Zhuang Zhimeng stepped forward and hugged Xiazi.
"Take care on your journey. We'll see you again when we get back to the village."
"Yeah, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the two of us."
What time did you buy your train tickets?
"Three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, that way you'll have enough time after we finish eating."
Zhuang Zhimeng helped put the clothes into Jiang Yanxia's suitcase.
"Xiazi, I'm going to check on Meng Ge'er and see how he's getting ready."
“I’ll go with you. He’s always so careless, he’s always losing this or that.”
"Perfect timing, you can go help him tidy up."
Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia walked together to the other end of the second floor and knocked on the door of Su Mengmeng's room.
"Meng Ge'er, how's your packing going?"
"Boss, Xiazi, I'm packing up!"
Jiang Yanxia saw clothes everywhere and immediately squatted down to pick them up, muttering to herself as she did so.
"You're really something, your clothes are always piled up everywhere."
"Hehe, how else would I show off your virtuousness?"
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and gave Meng Ge'er some instructions.
"Brother Meng, please take good care of Xiazi on the way!"
The trains must be packed with people right now, everyone's rushing to catch them, so be careful of pickpockets.
Su Mengmeng patted her chest.
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely protect Xiazi and myself."
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at the two of them.
"Can't you stay home for the Lantern Festival?"
"Yes, our leave is until the thirteenth, and we have to go back to the brigade on the thirteenth."
"Then I'll bring you some Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls) later, just to show my appreciation."
"Thank you, Zhimeng. The Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls) from Beijing should taste good. We're in for a treat."
Zhuang Zhimeng waved her hand.
"You guys pack up, I'm going back to my room."
Jiang Yanxia laughed.
"Hehe, hurry up and go, Brother An must be getting impatient."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and walked out of Meng Ge'er's room.
Zhuang Zhimeng went upstairs while the man had already gone downstairs to eat.
Zhuang Zhimeng changed into cotton slippers and went to the restaurant on the first floor.
Shi Meiling asked her daughter-in-law as soon as she saw her.
"Zhimeng, have you had breakfast yet?"
"Mother, I've already eaten."
"Mom, who do you think would be a good driver for me to take to lunch?"
Shi Meiling thought for a moment.
"This time, Zhimeng brought all of our female colleagues along."
Let the third brother ride a bicycle and lead the way with Yangyang.
The others followed.
Nowadays, it's said that women hold up half the sky; we women comrades must stand up!
"Haha, okay, I'll listen to my mother."
I drove my mother, my eldest sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law, and Xiazi; the others walked.
An Tanli smiled and nodded, not objecting to his younger siblings' arrangement, as walking was also good exercise.
An Tanxiao took a sip of soy milk and asked his daughter-in-law.
"Zhimeng, is the place where we eat far away?"
Now I understand, places in Beijing are all very far apart, and it takes a long time to get there.
