Gu Tingzhou's biological clock makes him wake up on time at six o'clock.
He slept less than two hours that night.
But he still got up refreshed.
One day without seeing you feels like three years. Last night was a relief for me from missing you.
His wife was too tired last night, so he had to clean up the house so that she wouldn't have to work anymore.
I fed the second baby, changed his diaper and let him continue to sleep.
He used a steamer to steam the leftover bean curd and dumplings at home.
I started packing up the remaining things I needed to take away from home.
The children's and adults' spare clothes were packed together in one bag.
The second baby’s diapers need to be packed in a separate bag. We will be on the road for two days, so we need to prepare a lot of diapers, otherwise they will not be enough.
There is also a separate bottle of milk powder for the second baby.
Wash the lunch box at home and put the bean buns and dumplings in it later. Take out the military water bottle and fill it with water to drink.
These things were brought with me on the road and are placed separately.
The kettle, the clock, and the miscellaneous items in the cabinet were gathered together, and I would wait for my wife to wake up and put them all into the space.
These things are not easy to carry on the road. It is best for two people to travel light when traveling by train with two children.
Dabao woke up first, so he washed up and had his meal first.
Gu Tingzhou looked at the time. It was already six forty. He had to get his wife up, otherwise she would miss the village ox cart.
In his cautious call, Li Qingyun finally regained some consciousness.
As soon as I heard it, I realized that I was almost out of time.
I wanted to turn over immediately.
The man held her down and considerately handed her a hot towel to wipe her face.
He handed her a toothbrush and let her rinse her mouth in a basin.
Then there was a cup of hot milk, a bean bun, and six dumplings.
Feed it directly to her mouth.
I almost helped her chew it...
Damn man, the service is good.
Fortunately, he knew to send Dabao out, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
But she was indeed very tired, she hadn't slept enough, her whole body was sore, and she really didn't want to move.
Gu Tingzhou even helped her put on her clothes, shoes and socks with his own hands, not even letting her touch the ground, and carried her around the house.
The two first put the larger things they were going to take away into the space.
Then he folded the quilt on the kang and put it into the kang cabinet.
I'll need it when I come back in winter, so I won't take it with me.
She still has a few quilts in her space, so she doesn't need to buy more as they are enough.
Don't take away the pots and kitchen utensils in the kitchen, just put away the seasonings and other things, otherwise they will go bad if left alone.
The two checked the house and made sure nothing was missing, then prepared to set off for the village entrance with their two children.
Li Qingyun was too embarrassed to go out and let Gu Tingzhou hold her, insisting on walking down by herself.
Gu Tingzhou was holding Erbao in his arms and carrying an extra-large bag on his back. The bag looked bulging, but it was actually filled with some spare clothes.
Li Qingyun also had a small bag on her back, which contained food for the journey, as well as small items like milk powder, bottles, and diapers for Erbao.
Dabao also carried a small schoolbag with his books in it.
When the family reached the village entrance, Gu's father and mother were already waiting there.
Seeing them coming, he hurried forward.
Father Gu touched his eldest grandson's head reluctantly.
"Dabao, when you get there, you must listen to your parents and study hard."
"Grandpa, I understand. You have to take good care of yourself. I'll be back for the New Year, and I'll definitely get a perfect score on both the exams."
Mother Gu also hugged her grandson and kissed him for the last time.
No one urged them, and the old man driving the coach looked at them with envy but said nothing.
"I boiled ten eggs for you. Take them with you on the road. Be alert on the road and take good care of the two children. Don't let them be taken away by the beggars." Mother Gu warned worriedly.
Gu Tingzhou nodded.
The two old men still stood there watching until the ox cart had gone a long way away.
A faint melancholy surged into Li Qingyun's heart.
I was so busy with the two kids' jokes that I forgot about it.
From the village to the commune, from the commune to the county town, and from the county town to the provincial capital.
After changing various means of transportation and traveling for a whole morning, the group of four finally arrived at the train station half an hour before the train departed.
This was Li Qingyun's first time to come to the provincial capital in this era.
But she had no time to care about too much because she was really too tired and her head was buzzing.
The minibuses of this era are so crowded that you can't even think of sitting comfortably. There's a strange smell that makes you want to vomit.
They also had two children with them. Even though Gu Tingzhou had taken good care of her, with the second child always in his arms and the first child knowing to stay close to his parents and not needing any special care, Li Qingyun still felt very uncomfortable.
Gu Tingzhou began to regret that he shouldn't have troubled his wife so much last night, making her so tired and unable to sleep well.
Arriving at the train station, the family could finally rest for a while, as there was still half an hour before the train departed.
Gu Tingzhou saw a peddler secretly selling oranges outside the train station. He hurriedly chased him and bought all the oranges in his pocket.
Although she felt a little wilted, Li Qingyun did feel her stomach was much more comfortable and she felt much better after eating the oranges.
Orange peel also has a refreshing effect.
Dabao was in good spirits along the way, looking around at the bustling world.
There are several-story buildings and people of all kinds coming and going.
This was a world he had never seen before. The farthest place he had ever been to was the county town, where his father took him when they went to take a family photo.
And this place is bigger and more prosperous than the county town.
In fact, Li Qingyun was the same. This was her first time seeing the provincial capital of this era.
It was a little less interesting than I had imagined. Compared with the skyscrapers of later generations, it looked a bit old and dilapidated.
However, people's spirit was much stronger than that of later generations. Although everyone lived frugally and it was rare to eat meat, they were still full of hope for life.
Sometimes she wondered why in the afterlife, even though people had no worries about food and clothing, their lives became less and less happy and under greater pressure?
She already had the answer in her heart.
Because they were afraid of missing the train, they didn't go out for a walk. Instead, the family found a place to sit down and rest in the train station.
Gu Tingzhou was relieved when he saw that Li Qingyun was in much better spirits.
He found some warm water and mixed it with milk for the second baby to drink.
I fed him half a steamed bun before he felt full.
The child was very hardworking along the way. When he arrived in this strange place, he didn't cry or make a fuss. Just like his brother, he looked around with his two round eyes.
People passing by looked at the family of four with envy.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they are really a perfect match. Judging from their clothes, they seem to come from a well-off family.
The two children are fat and plump, especially the little one. His eyes look here and there without stopping, which is really adorable.
A woman in the corner also saw this family. Her eyes fell on Erbao in Gu Tingzhou's hands, and then she showed a cold smile.
Gu Tingzhou looked up as if he had noticed something, but there was nothing.
