Chapter 197 Preparations for Going to Beijing

Originally, Xia Juanjuan had always wanted to find an opportunity to go to Beijing City - her space had a teleportation function, but except for the fierce battle, she needed to go to a place first before she could teleport there.

Although I went to Beijing last time, I was mainly involved in activities at Union Hospital. I was picked up by a jeep both on the way there and on the way back.

She couldn't just teleport directly to someone else's hospital.

Of course, this is one reason.

More importantly, they haven't seen each other for several months, and she really wants to fight. As long as they can meet, the bumpy road will be worth it.

At that moment, she sent a telegram to Li Zhan to tell him that he could come over, and then went back to prepare the things she was going to get.

Speaking of preparations, actually I would only be gone for a few days, so I just prepared a set of spare clothes for myself, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei, as well as diapers, small clothes, shoes and other things that the triplets would need for daily use, as well as bottles, bibs, rattles and other things. I packed up a bulging package.

The milk in the bottle had to be squeezed out in advance so that the three kids could drink it on the train. Each of them had one bottle. Otherwise, there were so many people coming and going on the train, and she couldn't lift up her clothes to feed the children.

Seeing Xia Juanjuan packing Xiaowen and the other two siblings' clothes into her luggage, Lin Yuru smiled in surprise and said, "Hey, you're only going to be gone for a few days. It's already inconvenient to bring the triplets with you. Besides, the fare is not cheap. Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei will leave home, and I'll take care of them."

Xia Juanjuan shook her head firmly and said with a smile, "We'll take the train this time. When we go, I'll ask Dad to take me to the station. After we get to the station, Lizhan will come to pick us up. The train only takes five or six hours, so it won't be a problem. Besides, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei are all sensible. They can help me take care of my three brothers on the way. Maybe it'll be easier for me than taking care of Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao by myself! The train ticket is only a few dollars. Xiaowen and the others are so young and less than one meter tall. The tickets are sold at half price, so it won't cost much more!"

Xia Juanjuan considered taking only the triplets to Beijing to meet Li Zhan, but she rejected the idea as soon as she had it.

If we really only take the triplets with us, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei will definitely be sad.

These three little guys have been orphans and have suffered so much injustice since they were young, so they are sensitive by nature.

Since she has adopted them, she must treat them equally.

When Lin Yuru heard this, she knew that Xia Juanjuan was afraid that Xiaowen and the others would feel uncomfortable if they were left at home, so she didn't say anything more.

In addition to replacement clothes and things for the children, Xia Juanjuan also wanted to bring some things from the village. After all, she was going to fight against the unit she was in, so she couldn't go empty-handed.

After thinking about it, I decided that things that were too heavy or too big would not be suitable, so I decided to just bring dry goods.

A large bag of all kinds of things, including dried wood ear and wild mushrooms picked from the mountains, dried bamboo shoots, wolfberries, dandelions, dried wild chrysanthemums, dates, pecans, etc., were also collected.

Both dates and hickory nuts come from wild date and walnut trees in the mountains.

Last summer, Juanjuan was pregnant and didn't have time to pick walnuts or chestnuts, but other households in the village did.

Xia Juanjuan exchanged some of her homemade sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, or some coarse grains like soybeans and sweet potatoes with others, and then took some out from the space to supplement them, and that was about enough.

Xia Juanjuan also picked fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables from the small vegetable garden in her private plot. Even though she had been on the road for several hours, she was not worried about them not being fresh, and she could eat them on the way.

After everything was ready, Lin Yuru prepared some scallion pancakes and steamed buns with leek and egg fillings and celery and pork fillings, and packed three or four of each for Xia Juanjuan to eat on the way.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei were very happy when they knew Xia Juanjuan was going to take them to Beijing by train!

They also heard from Chaoyang, the only person in the village who had ridden a train, that the train was very long, with two huge locomotives emitting black smoke, and a string of carriages behind it, with people sitting in the carriages, and it went very fast and smoothly!

They all looked up at Chaoyang enviously, imagining in their hearts what the train looked like.

Now, they can ride the train, too!

Because of this, Xiaowen and his friends were noisy until late at night before they fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xia Shuangshan borrowed a ox cart and took Xia Juanjuan and the six kids to the train station.

The countryside is far away from the county town, and it is impossible to go to the county town specifically to buy tickets in advance. Basically, you still have to go there and buy tickets for the day.

In this case, if you can buy a ticket, it is already very good if it is a hard seat. But if you want to buy a sleeper or soft sleeper? That is difficult.

However, Xia Juanjuan doesn't have to worry about that this time.

Yan Haotian had already helped buy four soft sleeper tickets a few days in advance. The green train was similar to the current one, and the soft sleeper compartments were also small rooms, with tickets for four people in each room.

Yan Haotian bought four tickets, which was equivalent to buying tickets for a small room, which was much more private!

Of course, the price is not cheap. Usually, a hard seat ticket from Moxian to Jingshi is 1.5 yuan, a hard sleeper is almost half the price, 2.5 yuan, and a soft sleeper is 5 yuan.

Four soft sleeper tickets cost twenty yuan! Almost equal to a farmer's income and expenses for a year!

Moreover, this is not something that can be bought just by having money. If you don’t have a letter of introduction, the ticket seller won’t even bother with you.

Xia Juanjuan naturally knew that Yan Haotian must have spent a lot of effort to buy this, and she felt warm in her heart.

Yan Haotian was still a little unhappy: "How can a brother-in-law be like this? He knew you were bringing six little ones with you, but he still let you go by yourself? Why didn't he come to pick you up?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "You can't blame him. He originally wanted to ask for leave to come back so that I wouldn't have to travel here, but he couldn't get leave, so he asked me to go over to visit my relatives."

Yan Haotian felt... complicated when he heard his sister defending Li Zhan. On the one hand, seeing how much his sister and brother-in-law loved each other and cared for each other, he thought they had found a good ending. On the other hand, he couldn't help but feel jealous of Li Zhan.

Humph! If he had acknowledged his relationship earlier, he would not have let his sister marry so unfairly, and let that boy Lizhan get away with it!

Although he was worried, it was naturally inconvenient for Yan Haotian to send Xia Juanjuan there.

In fact, he is similar to Li Zhan. The army has taken good care of him. As long as he asks for leave to take care of his family, his superiors will approve it.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to personally arrange to buy a sleeper train ticket for Xia Juanjuan.

But the troops are taking care of him, so he can't get too far.

Xia Shuangshan and Yan Haotian ran back and forth, helping Xia Juanjuan put the kids and other things they needed to take into the car, and then got off.
