"Ziwen, you're here! Come in and sit down, it's cold outside."
As soon as he arrived at the bookstore, Li Guangwen welcomed him in.
"Uncle Li, you shouldn't be busy during this period!" Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are not many people coming to the bookstore to buy books, so Li Guangwen has become idle.
"Yeah, it's winter, everyone is busy preparing for the winter, not many people have the heart to read."
As Li Guangwen spoke, he poured Zhou Ziwen a cup of hot tea.
"However, although my bookstore is less crowded, it also gives me time to sort out the books and replenish the inventory. What's the matter with you coming to see me today?"
Zhou Ziwen took the hot tea, blew on it gently, took a sip, and felt much warmer.
He put down the teacup, took out a thick stack of manuscripts from his bag and handed it to Li Guangwen.
"Uncle Li, these are some manuscripts I translated recently. Please take a look!" Zhou Ziwen said.
"Haha, I don't know your level yet? There must be no problem."
Li Guangwen took the manuscript with a smile and flipped through a few pages. A hint of surprise and admiration immediately flashed in his eyes. "Ziwen, your translation is becoming more and more authentic!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly and said, "Uncle Li, you're too kind. I'm also constantly learning and exploring, hoping to earn more royalties and improve my family's life."
Li Guangwen nodded slightly, put the manuscript aside, and looked at Zhou Ziwen seriously: "You are a child with ideas and drive, which is really rare."
"Haha, it's all for life!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"By the way, Uncle Li, I came to ask you for help today."
Hearing this, Li Guangwen looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise, and then said straightforwardly:
"If you need any help from me, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
"Haha, it's not a difficult task. The autumn harvest is over! I plan to go home to visit my relatives. Please, Uncle Li, help me get some train tickets." Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.
"It's a small matter. Which day's ticket do you want? I'll get it for you right away." Li Guangwen patted his chest.
He thought it was a big deal!
"Uncle Li, thank you so much!" Zhou Ziwen said gratefully, "I want to go back as soon as possible, preferably within two or three days. If that's not possible, I have to leave by next week at the latest."
"Everyone in the family is looking forward to our return, especially since our child has not seen his grandparents since he was born. I want to take him back to reunite with them as soon as possible."
Li Guangwen nodded: "Okay, I'll make the call right away."
As he said that, he went to the back room of the bookstore.
He had acquaintances at the train station, so it was easy for him to get some tickets.
"Ziwen, I just contacted an acquaintance. Luckily, there's a suitable train the day after tomorrow. I've got a few sleeper tickets. You just need to pick them up at the train station later." Li Guangwen said.
"That's great, Uncle Li, thank you so much!" Zhou Ziwen stood up excitedly.
"Don't be polite, it's just a small matter. However, time is tight tomorrow, so you have to prepare early." Li Guangwen reminded.
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, we have already prepared everything and are just waiting for the tickets." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Okay, be careful on the road and take good care of your children." Li Guangwen said with concern.
"Yes, we will." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
After staying in the bookstore for a while and saying goodbye to Li Guangwen, Zhou Ziwen came out of the bookstore.
He rode his bicycle quickly to the train station.
The winter sun shone on his body, but it could not dispel the chill in the air, but his heart was full of warmth and expectation.
When he arrived at the train station, he got the ticket smoothly. After carefully confirming the train number, seat and other information, he carefully put the ticket into his pocket.
At this time, the train station was bustling with people, and the noise was endless. People were either hurrying on their way or anxiously waiting for the arrival of the train. Everyone's face was filled with the hustle and bustle and expectation of life.
After coming out of the train station, Zhou Ziwen rushed home without stopping.
When they returned home, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were busy in the yard, drying some dried goods that they were going to take home.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, the two of them hurried to greet him.
"Have you got the ticket?" Chen Qiaoyi asked anxiously.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, then pulled out the ticket from his pocket and waved it in front of them: "I got it. It's for the train the day after tomorrow, and it's a sleeper ticket."
"That's great!" Chen Shiying said happily, "I can finally go home. I missed Mom and Dad so much."
"Yeah, we need to quickly prepare the rest of the things."
Chen Qiaoyi said this and turned around to continue organizing the dry goods in her hands.
For the next two days, the house was filled with a busy yet warm atmosphere.
Zhou Ziwen carefully processed and marinated the meat he had obtained from hunting to ensure that it would not deteriorate during the journey.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying tidied their house neatly, packed up the clothes and local specialties they were going to take back, and also prepared some snacks for their family to eat on the way.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan also seemed to feel the joy of going home, running around the house, laughing and playing.
Little Yueyue would often run to Zhou Ziwen and ask in a baby voice, "Dad, where are we going?"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and picked her up, saying gently, "We are going home to see our grandparents."
Finally, the day of departure arrived.
Before daybreak, the whole family got up early and had a simple breakfast. Zhou Chaoyang, Chen Zhaodi, Tang Yaoyao and others had already packed their luggage and were waiting to set off with them.
Everyone moved their luggage onto the tractor and headed towards the train station.
Yes, this time when they set out, Zhou Ziwen borrowed a tractor from the village, and Wang Qiang was with them.
After they arrive at the train station, Wang Qiang will drive the tractor back.
Along the way, the roar of the tractor seemed particularly loud in the quiet morning, but everyone was extremely excited.
When we arrived at the train station, there were already many people gathered in the square in front of the station.
Zhou Ziwen parked the tractor, unloaded the luggage with Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi, and then walked into the waiting hall with his family.
The waiting hall was crowded with people, some sitting and some standing, some talking in low voices, some looking around anxiously.
Zhou Ziwen found an empty seat for his family to sit down, and he went to queue up for ticket checking.
The train slowly pulled into the station. Zhou Ziwen boarded the train with his family and luggage and found the corresponding sleeper car.
He put his luggage away, arranged his family's seats, then sat by the window and looked at the platform outside.
As the train started, Zhou Ziwen was full of anticipation. After all, he hadn't seen his family for a long time.
I heard that my eldest sister gave birth to a son, but he hasn't even met him yet! (End of this chapter)
