The twins bought the train tickets back home, which will be tomorrow morning.
Someone will send them to the secret base when the time comes.
The twins didn't even open their suitcases at night, they just washed up and went to bed.
Li Xin was afraid of the cold, but he still insisted on soaking his feet before going to bed.
"How's the water temperature?" After He Beichen finished washing up, he walked over to see Li Xin.
I saw her huddled by the stove next to the sofa with her feet in the bucket.
The bucket of water almost reached her knees, enough to soak both legs completely. From what He Beichen saw, Li Xin's legs below the knees were all red.
"It's still quite hot, I can soak in it for a while." Li Xin said comfortably, "You go to bed first, I'll come after you warm the bed."
He Beichen: "..."
It turned out that they were in a hurry to get him out so that he could warm the bed.
"good."
However, He Beichen still agreed obediently, took off his clothes and lay on the bed.
He was full of heat and the quilt was quickly warmed up.
When Li Xin finished soaking his feet and ran back to the room, the bed was already warm.
"Huh... so warm." Li Xin pushed herself a little closer to He Beichen's arms so that He Beichen could tuck the quilt in for her.
"Is it wrapped tightly?"
"It's tight."
Li Xin closed her eyes with peace of mind. In the winter in the north, she needed a man in her bed!
…
The next morning, He Beichen woke Li Xin up.
The family had a simple breakfast and then set off with their luggage.
The driver was the same guard from the day before, but this time they had changed to a larger van so that the whole family could fit in.
People had been queuing at the capital's train station since before dawn. Those with a lot of luggage were carrying snakeskin bags and struggling to make their way through the crowd.
Li Xin was lucky, as he had the twins and He Beichen, three tall soldiers, leading the way, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to get on the train.
"Mom and Dad, here, here... Dad, be careful with your arms." Su Jinrong was walking in front. When he turned around, he saw a crowd of heads behind him.
He looked around and finally saw his parents drifting with the crowd.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Jiuyuan was afraid his son couldn't hear him because of the noise around him, so he shouted to his son, "You go up first. Your mother and I will come find you later."
Because Li Jiuyuan's arms were inconvenient, the twins carried both his and Su Miao's luggage.
The two men walked forward carrying the suitcases.
It can be seen that he was walking with great difficulty...
Li Xin and He Beichen were in a similar situation. There were far more people in the capital than on the southern border. When they started queuing for the bus, they were squeezed out of the crowd.
Fortunately, Li Xin didn't have many suitcases. He Beichen carried the suitcase in one hand and held Li Xin's hand tightly with the other, but he was still the first person to get on the car.
"Beichen, let's find a seat first." Li Xin didn't see the four of them after getting on the train, so he decided to find their seats first.
It takes a day to take a train from the capital to their hometown, so the twins simply bought a sleeper car.
There were exactly six of us together.
Li Xin put the luggage away, then quietly took out some melon seeds, milk candies and oranges and placed them on the small table.
By the time the twins got on the bus carrying their oversized luggage bags, they were both sweating profusely.
"Dad, how's your arm?" Seeing Li Jiuyuan arriving late, he kept protecting one arm with the other until he got in the car.
Seeing this, Li Xin quickly pulled the person to sit on the small bed.
"It's okay, I was just squeezed a little." Li Jiuyuan shook his head.
There were already a lot of people at the station during the Spring Festival travel rush. Some people were rushing forward in a hurry to get on the train, and Li Jiuyuan was squeezed out by others.
My arm is still recovering and a little sore, but it's not a big deal.
"Brother Yuan, when we get off the car, I'll get you a hot water bottle. You can put it between your arms, and it should feel more comfortable." Su Miao said.
"good."
…
After experiencing a catastrophe of crowded train, the train finally started to move slowly.
The train ran for a whole day and was delayed for half an hour before finally arriving at the county train station at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Old Li!" A middle-aged man in a green military coat came forward upon seeing Li Jiuyuan and Su Miao. "Damn it, I haven't seen you in eighteen years. I thought you were a member of the American people."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he could smell the flavor of Northeastern rice.
"Hansheng." Li Jiuyuan smiled. "Of course not. I just followed the instructions from above. This year I brought my son, daughter, and son-in-law back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year."
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Hansheng's eyes swept over the twins and Li Xin one by one, and finally fixed on the tallest one, He Beichen. "Is this the one from the He family...?"
"It's me, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Hansheng is a retired soldier from Guangyuan Village, but he has also heard of the He family, after all, they are from the next village.
When the villagers chat with each other, they always talk about some of these things.
It is said that Mr. He joined the army alone and fought in dozens of battles, big and small, killing enemies fiercely. His son inherited his passion and joined the army at a young age. Although he died on the battlefield together with his wife, a military doctor.
What a pity...
But the grandson was also very capable and took over the baton and is currently stationed on the border.
The He family is truly loyal and brave.
"Okay, I won't disturb your family reunion. The car is ready for you." Zhang Hansheng handed the car keys to Li Jiuyuan and said goodbye to them.
…
The van had been washed and looked brand new.
As the group sat in the car, Li Xin looked at the increasingly familiar scenery around him and sighed softly.
The feeling of familiarity is due to the original owner's memory.
"Brother Yuan, why hasn't the village gate opened yet?" Su Miao asked curiously after seeing Li Jiuyuan circling here twice.
"Wait a minute... I haven't been back for eighteen years, and I don't recognize the road anymore."
Li Jiuyuan identified it carefully and then took another path.
After turning the fourth circle, I finally saw a large stone with the words "Guangyuan Village" engraved on it.
"Here we are." Li Jiuyuan relaxed immediately when he saw the stone.
If he couldn't get to the destination, he wondered if he would have to sleep in the car tonight.
When the van drove into the village, several old ladies wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets at the entrance of the village stared with their eyes wide open.
"Hey, whose house is this? Why are you driving back?"
"What a grand sight! Did you see who it was? This is the first time I've seen someone driving back in a car!"
"It's dark now, who can see clearly... But it seems that there are not many people from our village who go out to explore."
"Could it be that bastard at the east end of the village?"
