The morning mist covered the earth. Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters, together with Zhou Chaoyang, Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao, set out for the train station under the glow of the morning glow.
There were quite a few of them, but they only had two bicycles, and they also brought some things with them, so it was still a bit crowded when they set out on the road.
Zhou Ziwen thought about it and asked Zhou Chaoyang to take Tang Yaoyao away, while he would take the two sisters and Shen Zhaodi with him.
It’s because the bicycles of this era are sturdy, otherwise you really can’t take them with you.
There is one person sitting in the front and two people sitting in the back. Although it is a little crowded, it is not a problem.
With Zhou Ziwen's physical strength, let alone three women, he would be fine even if there were three more.
As for Zhou Chaoyang, not to mention his strength, it’s enough to bring someone who can keep up.
With the expectation of going home, the two bicycles set off towards the county town.
The morning breeze is gentle, bringing a little coolness, but it also makes people feel refreshed.
Two bicycles were moving quickly on the country road, occasionally rolling over small stones on the road, making a creaking sound, which also became a vivid melody on the road in the early morning.
Zhou Ziwen was riding the bike in front, while Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi were sitting on the back seat. They both held his clothes around his waist with one hand and held the bike with the other.
Chen Qiaoyi sat on the front handlebar of the bicycle, snuggling in his arms.
Tang Yaoyao sat in Zhou Chaoyang's car, talking to Shen Zhaodi and the others from time to time.
The clear sound surrounded everyone's ears, like an oriole singing.
"Chaoyang, ride faster, Brother Ziwen and the others are almost far away." Tang Yaoyao raised her head and found that Zhou Ziwen and the others had already gone far away, so she hurriedly urged them.
"Don't worry, I'll be quick."
Zhou Chaoyang answered confidently, then stepped hard and chased after Zhou Ziwen and the others.
This time he was particularly grateful to the village for building the road.
The flat road made riding his bike much easier, otherwise he really couldn't keep up.
Of course, the reason why he was able to catch up was because Zhou Ziwen deliberately slowed down.
After all, there was a pregnant woman in the car, and he didn't want to cause irreversible consequences due to carelessness.
They passed through the fields and crossed several small bridges. The trees and rice fields along the road looked particularly peaceful in the morning light.
Zhou Ziwen looked back from time to time to make sure everyone was keeping up, while also enjoying this rare morning in the countryside.
"Brother Ziwen, isn't it a bit slow for us to ride our bikes to the county town like this?" Chen Qiaoyi asked worriedly.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied, "Not slow, there's plenty of time. And riding a bike also allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way, right?"
Chen Shiying nodded in agreement. "Yes, Qiaoyi, don't worry. We can get there on time."
Tang Yaoyao caught up from behind, her voice filled with excitement: "Sister Yiyi, don't worry, we'll be in the county soon."
"Yeah!" Chen Qiaoyi smiled and waved to her good sister.
Sure enough, a different outline from the countryside appeared on the distant skyline: the buildings of the county town. As the distance got closer, the appearance of the county town became clearer and clearer.
They soon arrived at the county town and parked their bicycles near the bus station.
Zhou Ziwen and his group parked their bicycles safely in the parking area near the bus station.
There were already some other bicycles and a few motorcycles parked sparsely here, which were obviously the means of transportation for other passengers.
"Everyone, take your things with you, we're going to take the bus." Zhou Ziwen reminded everyone and at the same time checked his own luggage to make sure he didn't forget anything important.
They picked up their luggage and waited at the bus stop.
Although it was still early, there were already some passengers waiting for the bus. Some were chatting, some were reading newspapers, and some were eating a simple breakfast.
Zhou Ziwen asked around and found out that the earliest bus here was at 7 o'clock, and there were still ten minutes before departure.
While waiting for the bus, Zhou Ziwen and others gave the bicycles to Tang Yaoyao and said goodbye to her.
Tang Yaoyao stood beside the bicycle, looking at Zhou Ziwen and the others who were about to set off, with a look of reluctance in her eyes: "Brother Ziwen, Sister Yiyi, be careful on the road."
Zhou Ziwen gently patted Tang Yaoyao's shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, Yaoyao. We will be back soon. You should take good care of yourself at home."
Zhou Chaoyang also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, Yaoyao, after we leave, the family will rely on you, you have to be strong."
Tang Yaoyao nodded. Although she felt a little uneasy, she said nonchalantly, "Don't worry! We have Tayun and the others at home!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was soon time for everyone to say goodbye.
When the car to Ping'an County arrived, Zhou Ziwen and his friends immediately got up, picked up their luggage and got on the car.
Zhou Ziwen and the others boarded the bus and found their seats. The seats were hard, but much more comfortable than on bicycles. They placed their luggage on the luggage rack above the seats and sat down.
As the departure time approached, the car's engine emitted a low roar.
Zhou Ziwen looked out the window and saw Tang Yaoyao still standing at the door of the waiting room, waving goodbye to them.
"Brother Ziwen, we really have to leave." Chen Qiaoyi said softly, her hand tightly grasping Zhou Ziwen's arm.
Zhou Ziwen gently squeezed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Qiaoyi. We'll be able to see our parents soon."
Chen Shiying also said, "Yes, Qiaoyi, don't be sad. We should be happy because we can go home soon."
Zhou Chaoyang adjusted his sitting position and said with a smile, "I'm going to get a good few days of sleep when I get home this time. I've been really exhausted lately."
Shen Zhaodi smiled softly: "You are just a lazy bug."
With the driver's whistle, the car slowly drove out of the platform and began its journey to Ping'an County.
Zhou Ziwen and his friends looked out the car window at the scenery of the county town gradually disappearing into the distance, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.
"Ziwen, we really have to leave." Chen Shiying said softly, with some reluctance in her eyes.
Zhou Ziwen held her hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Shiying. We will come back. This is our home too."
The car sped along the road, passed through the fields, and crossed several small bridges. The trees and rice fields on the roadside looked particularly peaceful in the morning light.
Zhou Ziwen and the others sat quietly, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, looking forward to the upcoming journey.
After about an hour's drive, the car finally arrived in Ping'an County.
After getting off the train, Zhou Ziwen looked at the time and found that there was still some time before the train departed.
"Let's go eat something first, and then walk slowly to the train station." Zhou Ziwen suggested.
They ate some buns and porridge at a nearby breakfast stall, and then walked towards the train station.
The train station is not far away, about twenty minutes' walk away.
Zhou Ziwen and his companions arrived at the train station, walked into the waiting room, found a seat, put down their luggage, and sat down to wait for the train to arrive. (End of this chapter)
