Chapter 299 Visiting Relatives for the New Year

After seeing off the American trio, Shi Tingyu finally relaxed.

Now that students are in the review stage, the burden on her shoulders has been lightened a lot.

Lu Weiguo has already bought the return ticket these days.

Shi's father and mother knew that their daughter, son-in-law and grandson were going back to Dong Province for the New Year, so they took a rare day off and had a meal with their daughter's family.

The couple lamented that the distance of their hometown was a disadvantage. Generally, married girls can go back to their parents' home in the second year of the New Year, but if the distance is far, this rule does not apply.

Fortunately, their daughter's family does not go back every year.

In fact, if they were not too busy to leave, they would also like to go back to the former West Brigade to take a look.

When he saw Shi's father and mother, he was stunned for a while before recognizing them.

When Shi's mother saw that her grandson had become estranged from them, her eyes were red for a moment.

Shi Tingyu felt bad too.

But there was no other way, the country needed them right now, and now they could only sacrifice their small family for the sake of everyone else.

Lu Weiguo understood his father-in-law and mother-in-law very well, as they were soldiers and had similar careers to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

With an order from above, they would rush to the battlefield without hesitation. They

would have to leave their family behind.

After helping to take care of their grandson for a day, the two elders went back to the laboratory.

On January 23, the school was officially closed for vacation, and Shi Tingyu also gave Zhao, Qian, and Sun three a day off.

When the school just closed for the holiday, Shi Tingyu asked Principal Sun for some time off, otherwise her winter vacation would be over and Lu Weiguo's family visit leave would continue, and the time would not fit.

This only happens once every two years, so Shi Tingyu adjusted his schedule.

Zhao, Qian, and Sun, as salaried people, could not rest with peace of mind.

So the three of them simply helped out at the police station, running errands when handling cases, which could be regarded as accumulating experience for the future.

Lu Weiguo bought a ticket for the 5:00 p.m. on the 25th.

In later times, the distance between Dong Province and Jinling is no more than 600 kilometers, and it would take about six hours to drive there. But now it is the 1970s, and the expressway has not yet started. There are mostly dirt roads and residual oil roads, and the speed is not fast. It is true that on sunny days, you are covered in dust, and on rainy days, you are covered in mud. Driving is not a wise move.

The family visit leave is forty days, and they can stay until March 8th. After all, the time spent on the road during the family visit leave is not counted.

On the afternoon of the 25th, the orderly sent Lu Weiguo's family of three and Li Jian to the train station.

Compared with the trouble of taking Li Jian on the train for the first time, this time was unusually smooth because Li Jian had a pass.

It was specially issued to Li Jian by the Public Security Bureau some time ago.

In order to conduct the interview, the Public Security Bureau did some research on Shi Tingyu's deeds, and they also learned about Li Jian's miraculousness. In view of

Li Jian's meritorious service, the Public Security Bureau issued him a pass with an official seal.

It can only be said that Li Jian deserves this pass.

However, in order to save some trouble, they still bought the box car tickets.

They don't care about this little money now.

The family cooked and ate at around three o'clock and got on the train. They arrived at the station at around seven o'clock the next morning.

If you are hungry at night, you can eat some biscuits, meat sauce and tea eggs, which are all prepared in advance.

There is also milk powder and biscuits for Shen Shen.

As soon as the three people and the dog appeared, they attracted everyone's attention. Shi Tingyu's face is now very recognizable.

It has been in the newspapers several times, and it is hard not to be noticed.

Seeing that they went to the private room in the rear carriage, everyone withdrew their excited gazes.

Sitting in the private room, Shi Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

But she didn't expect that when she was sleeping well in the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door outside the private room.

Lu Weiguo got up and opened the door, and found that there was no one at the door. He turned his head to look in the direction of the aisle, but only had time to see a piece of clothing.

Lu Weiguo returned to the private room and saw Shi Tingyu frowned slightly because of the knock on the door. He stepped forward and patted her gently, and slowly Shi Tingyu fell asleep again.

After comforting his wife, Lu Weiguo did not lock the door of the private room from the inside, but just closed it gently.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

Lu Weiguo's eyes became sharp, and before the second knock could ring, he quickly opened the door and raised his hand to grab the figure who didn't have time to run.

The person caught by Lu Weiguo was a man in navy blue clothes, about twenty years old.

At this time, the other party's face was full of fear. The incident happened in just a moment, and he hadn't reacted yet, and he had been caught.

Seeing the other party's frightened expression, Lu Weiguo carefully closed the door of the private room, turned around and took the man and handed him to the flight attendant.

He didn't even ask why the other party knocked on the door.

After returning to the private room, Lu Weiguo lay back down.

Shi Tingyu sat up and asked, "What happened just now?"

Lu Weiguo said softly, "Nothing, someone knocked on the wrong door."

Shi Tingyu was sleepy at this time, and didn't ask further, and fell asleep again.

Lu Weiguo couldn't help laughing after seeing this.

Around dawn, the flight attendant came over.

Lu Weiguo went outside the door to talk to them.

The flight attendant said to Lu Weiguo, "Comrade, the flight attendant has already checked the person you handed over to us before. The other party said that he wanted to see your lover."

It was also at this time that the flight attendant knew who was in the private room.

Lu Weiguo nodded to show his understanding, "Just follow the rules."

Seeing that the other party did not pursue the matter further, the flight attendant went back.

As soon as the flight attendant went back, he was surrounded by other colleagues, "How was it? Did you see Teacher Shi's face? Her photo in the newspaper is so beautiful."

The flight attendant looked frustrated, "No, Teacher Shi's lover came out and said it."

Everyone booed, knowing that the other party did not see anyone, and went back to their own places.

Shi Tingyu didn't hear Lu Weiguo talk about this until the morning.

But since no one was in trouble, she didn't care.

Seeing that the train was about to arrive, Shi Tingyu and the others started to pack up.

At 7:30, the train arrived on time.

This time it was Lu's father who came to pick them up, and with him was Uncle Mao who drove a tractor at the steel plant.

When Shi Tingyu saw Uncle Mao's face again, she no longer felt as strange as the first time.

She and Lu Weiguo called for help.

Lu Weiguo looked at Shen Shen with curiosity and said, "Come on, Shen Shen, call Grandpa Mao."

Shi Tingyu coughed because of her saliva, interrupting Shen Shen's voice.

This Grandpa Mao is very spiritual, she thought to herself.

Lu Weiguo looked at her worriedly, "Wife, are you okay?"

Shi Tingyu came over slowly and waved her hand, "I'm fine, um, Shen Shen, call someone."

Shen Shen crisply called Grandpa Mao.

Uncle Mao smiled, "Oh, this is Shen Shen, she's so pretty, like a doll in a New Year's picture."

Father Lu was a little jealous, because his grandson hadn't called him yet.

But Lao Mao at least helped to pick someone up, so he really couldn't be jealous of him, but he still felt a little sour in his heart.

Shen Shen seemed to feel the resentment of Grandpa, turned around and smiled sweetly at Father Lu, "Grandpa!"

Father Lu's jealous and awkward mood disappeared, hugged Shen Shen, and the wrinkles on his face were all smiling.

After getting on the tractor, Father Lu was reluctant to put Shen Shen down, and kept him in his military coat.

Speaking of this military coat, it was given by Lu Weiguo.

Shen Shen laughed non-stop at the shaking of the tractor.

This was his first time to have such a novel experience.
