Wang Xiaolan smiled and looked at Liu Feng tenderly, saying softly, "When we go back this time, we will definitely visit your parents. I will give them a comprehensive checkup."
Liu Feng said gratefully, "Thank you."
Wang Xiaolan said, "We're just friends, do we really need to be so polite?"
After a brief pause, she continued, "Tan Xiaoxiao is a simple and good girl. You must cherish her!"
Then, Wang Xiaolan mentioned Principal Tan and his wife. She said, "Principal Tan and his wife are also very nice people. You have seen it. This shows that you and them have a connection in your previous life." There was a hint of emotion in her tone, as if she was lamenting this wonderful fate.
Liu Feng listened quietly to Wang Xiaolan's words, nodding his head in agreement from time to time. Finally, he smiled and replied, "Don't worry! I know what to do."
At this moment, a melodious train whistle suddenly sounded, as if urging people to get on the train quickly. Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan looked at each other, smiled helplessly, then picked up their luggage and slowly walked towards the train.
On the platform, Liu Feng watched them quietly, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. Zhao Lihan and Wang Xiaolan walked to the door, stopped, turned to Liu Feng, and waved goodbye. Liu Feng smiled back, waving his hand in the air, as if to wish them a safe journey.
The train doors slowly closed with a bang. With a long whistle, the train began to move slowly, and the rumbling sound of wheels rubbing against rails echoed throughout the station. Zhao Lihan and Wang Xiaolan watched from the train window as Liu Feng on the platform moved further and further away until he disappeared from view.
Southern Province.
After a long and tiring three days and two nights of travel, Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan finally arrived at their destination. Carrying their heavy luggage, they slowly walked out of the train station, only to be greeted by a bustling crowd and noisy noises.
At this moment, Wang Xiaolan's eyes were attracted by a couple at the exit. They were Liu Pei and his wife Xiaoli, who were standing there smiling, obviously waiting for Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan to arrive.
Xiaoli saw Wang Xiaolan from a distance. She waved her hands excitedly and shouted, "Little sister, we are here!" Before she finished speaking, she ran over to greet Wang Xiaolan like a happy little bird.
Xiaoli ran to Wang Xiaolan, took the luggage from her without saying a word, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you have worked hard on the way. Let me help you carry it!"
Liu Pei quickly walked over to Xiaoli, snatched the luggage from her hands, and said with a smile, "Let me take it. You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to talk about. Why don't you have a good chat!"
Wang Xiaolan pulled Xiaoli and said, "Sister, you look good. You haven't changed at all."
Xiaoli said, "Why not? The older children are already in junior high school."
Wang Xiaolan said, "You're an artist, so your temperament is different from that of ordinary people. I look much older than you, and you might have thought I was your sister!"
Xiaoli said, "Look at what you said. You've been to the front lines, and you're still so beautiful despite the wind and rain. I'm nowhere near as good as you!"
With that, the four of them walked out of the train station and came to the front of the jeep. The two big men put the luggage in the trunk.
Wang Xiaolan and Xiaoli got on the car first.
Wang Xiaolan asked with concern, "Sister, are your performance tasks heavy during this period?"
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Well, it's okay. I've retired behind the scenes now, and my main focus is on training new people. But sometimes I still go on stage to help out."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaolan nodded and said, "That's not bad. You won't have to work so hard. By the way, your Beibei should be twelve years old this year, right?"
Xiaoli smiled and replied, "Yes, she is in junior high school now, and she is taller than me!"
Wang Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies! I still remember when Beibei was born, I was the one who delivered her. Now she's already in junior high school."
Xiaoli also said with emotion, "Yes, time flies. And our second child is already in elementary school. He's so naughty, not as obedient as his older sister. He fights with his friends almost every day. If he wins, he goes home smiling, but if he loses, he goes crying and complains to his grandfather. I'm almost racking my brains over this kid. Sigh, he has such a competitive personality. I really don't know who he got it from."
Liu Pei, driving in front, smiled slightly as he listened to his wife's story about their son with a particularly comfortable mood. His heart was filled with joy, but he said nothing, just silently enjoying the warmth of the moment.
Xiaoli, standing by, glanced at Liu Pei with some dissatisfaction, then turned to Wang Xiaolan and complained, "Look at him, still grinning like an idiot! My son takes after his dad. Every time he gets into trouble, I'm the one who cleans up the mess. Liu Pei, you have to personally handle this kind of thing from now on. I've had enough!"
Wang Xiaolan's face was filled with a bright smile. She said, "Brother, you finally come home, so you have to help Xiaoli with some of the housework! For so many years, you have been working hard outside, and Xiaoli has been running the family alone. It's really not easy!"
Liu Pei nodded quickly and said, "Little sister, you are absolutely right. I feel really bad about it. I will definitely find a way to make it up to your sister."
Hearing Liu Pei say this, Xiaoli finally showed a relieved smile on her face and muttered softly: "That's more like it."
Then, Xiaoli seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask Wang Xiaolan, "By the way, little sister, how are Dabao and Xiaobao now?"
Wang Xiaolan quickly replied, "Oh, Dabao has already graduated from junior high school, and Xiaobao is in elementary school. Zhao Lihan and I have been at the border for these years, and I haven't been able to take care of them personally. It's all been my parents who have been helping to look after them."
After hearing this, Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh, "Little sister, you are so lucky. Both of your children are taken care of so well by your parents. Unlike me, both of my parents are not in good health, and I can't expect them to help me take care of my children. I don't have any other extravagant wishes now. I just hope that they can be healthy and safe."
Zhao Lihan had been sitting there quietly, playing the role of a loyal listener. He listened attentively to the conversation between the two women, as if he was deeply attracted by their topic.
Liu Pei casually glanced at Zhao Lihan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and noticed his keen interest in the conversation. So, he said to Zhao Lihan with a hint of joking, "Brother Zhao, I didn't expect someone as quiet as you to be so interested in women's gossip. I never expected that!"
