Zheng Tiansen rarely has a few days off, so Linglong wants to make good use of it.
Thinking that they hadn't been out for a long time, they planned a trip.
It was easy for her to ask for leave, but it was difficult to take care of the two children at home.
Congcong is already in the third grade at the beginning of this semester. Although he always ranks first in the class in every exam, he is not in kindergarten after all. He always feels bad when Linglong asks him to skip classes and take leave because she wants to go out to play.
I also have a little daughter, who is too young to take with me on trips and travels, and I’m afraid she’ll get sick.
The main reason is that the weather is already cold, and it would be painful for children to go out and suffer from the cold.
When she was still hesitating about what to do, her husband gave her some support.
"I've already talked to Mom about this. We're going out to play, so we can leave Congcong and An'an behind to go over to the village. We'll have Auntie go over too, so there's someone to take care of An'an, and Congcong won't have to worry about us. Grandpa Deng said he'll pick him up every day."
"Are we just going to leave these two kids behind and go out to play?" Linglong felt a little embarrassed.
Zheng Tiansen put his arm around her and sat down.
"We've fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. Occasionally going out to play and relax for a few days isn't a dereliction of duty. You don't have to feel guilty."
Linglong thought about it and decided to give them a break.
The rest time was not long, and they did not plan to go too far, so they wanted to walk further north and visit the Ice and Snow City.
The situation has settled down and they won't waste any more time.
Zheng Tiansen immediately found someone to buy a train ticket for the next morning, and Linglong also started packing.
It would be even colder if she went north, so she had to bring some thick clothes.
Although you can buy anything you need there, it is still not as convenient as in later times, so it is better to prepare more.
Because she had to go out for fun, Linglong had to ask her boss to extend her leave for a few more days. She felt a little embarrassed about this and explained that it was because her husband rarely had a rest.
The leader was very understanding and approved their leave, and also let them have fun.
After Congcong finished school that afternoon, Zheng Tiansen sent him and his daughter Anan to the compound.
They have to leave early tomorrow morning to catch the train, so it would be better to send the children away today.
The aunt in the family went to the courtyard to take care of An An, and the nanny stayed at home to look after the house.
Since they are not at home, the nanny has a very easy time at home alone, almost like she is on vacation.
In the evening, Linglong took a shower and went to bed early, for fear that she would get up too early the next day and not get enough sleep.
Zheng Tiansen also went to bed early, and was considerate enough not to force his wife to exercise.
Linglong was awakened by her husband when it was still dark.
The two of them drank something hot, then took their packed luggage and headed for the train station.
Linglong didn't bring much food with her, thinking that if she got hungry on the train, she could just buy some in the dining car.
It's just the two of them going out, so I don't have to worry about the children, and I feel a lot more relaxed.
Afraid of attracting too much attention, Zheng Tiansen changed his clothes and did not wear a military uniform when he went out this time.
In fact, Linglong would buy a few sets of clothes for her husband every year, for every season.
However, Zheng Tiansen almost always wore military uniform and rarely wore casual clothes.
Linglong was a little uncomfortable at first glance because she suddenly changed into the clothes she bought.
But after looking at it more, I think he is still quite handsome and I feel that I have good taste.
Given Zheng Tiansen's status, it would be very convenient for him to buy a high-end soft sleeper whenever he went out.
Their family was not short of money, so following Linglong's suggestion, they bought the best, which was a soft sleeper compartment.
It was just the couple living in the room, with no outsiders around, and it felt great.
Linglong had always taken the train south before and had never gone north.
After the train started, I sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside. The further north we went, the more obvious the feeling of winter became.
After watching for a long time and feeling aesthetic fatigue, she started looking for other things to pass the time.
She has always had a habit of bringing one or two books with her when she goes on a long trip, and reading them when she is free.
Zheng Tiansen didn't disturb her when she was reading.
Sometimes he looked at the scenery outside, and sometimes he just stared at her.
He is basically busy with work all day long and rarely has free time like this. Doing nothing is a rare relaxation for him.
Time passed quickly when reading. Linglong only came out of her immersed state when she felt a little hungry.
"Want to eat something?" Zheng Tiansen asked with a smile.
"Yeah, but since we're both in the dining car, there's no one to watch over our food, so let's just buy some food."
Although social atmosphere has improved a lot since the crackdown began, not all crimes have disappeared.
Robbers often appear on trains, commonly known as "big wheel robbers".
Even though there are staff on the train, if a real armed thug appears, the staff will be beaten and will not dare to intervene.
Domestic railways are slightly better.
As far as she knew, the international trains from Beijing to Big Brother, which lasted for several days, became increasingly crowded with profiteers. Later, the robberies became the most serious, and there were even cases of murder.
Those robbers were also frightened. They basically didn't take action while the train was still within the country. They only started to act recklessly when they reached Big Brother's side.
Because it involves foreign countries, domestic law enforcement agencies have no law enforcement power, making it difficult for robbers to investigate and collect evidence, which also makes some people become arrogant.
It was not until a major robbery case that shocked the country and the world occurred, causing great anger and a severe crackdown on the perpetrators, that this international route became safer.
Her thoughts drifted away, and when Linglong came to her senses, she saw her husband looking at her tenderly.
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."
"I don't really want to eat anything, just buy whatever you like."
"僢." Anyway, he knew his wife's preferences, so he just bought what she liked.
Zheng Tiansen came out and closed the door of the box.
On the way to the dining car, he sighed helplessly.
His wife would occasionally become daydreaming, and he really wanted to know what she was thinking about, but most of the time, she wouldn't tell him.
He always knew that she had some secrets in her heart, and he was looking forward to the time when she would be willing to tell him, but he had not waited until now.
Was it because he didn't have enough trust in her? Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed.
Maybe he hasn't done enough, so he should try harder. This time they are traveling alone with their husband and wife, and there are no children or outsiders to disturb them. This is a good opportunity for him to show his ability.
As soon as her husband left, Linglong started taking things out of the trunk.
She didn't bring much food, but she did bring some tableware because she was afraid that the food outside was dirty or unusable.
As soon as I took it out, I heard someone knocking on the box door.
My husband is here so soon?
With doubt in her eyes, she opened the door, revealing the face of a strange woman. Linglong stepped back cautiously.
"Who are you?"
Perhaps because she had just thought about robbing someone on the train, she was very alert at the moment. As she backed away, she secretly grabbed a fork on the table.
