The letter was delivered to Fan's father, and then it would reach Fan Xiaofan through a special channel.
Fan Xiaofan, of course, welcomed it.
When it was inconvenient for her to take care of Fu Weidong before, Fu Weidong was taken care of by Madam Fang at the Fang family home. The two brothers, Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu, were not ignorant children; they were very well-behaved.
However, she usually works at the research institute, and she was afraid she wouldn't have time to spend with them when they came. Therefore, Fan Xiaofan smiled and asked her grandpa and grandma to take care of the matter.
The two elderly people don't usually go out much except to keep Fu Weidong company, so this is a good opportunity for them to go out and see the sights.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan knew that Madam Fang had taken good care of Xiao Fan and Fu Weidong in Qingcheng, so they had no reason to disagree. They immediately said that once the children arrived, they would take Fu Weidong to the train station to pick them up.
Madam Fang waited anxiously for news. She was also worried that Fan Xiaofan was too busy, and if that was the case, they wouldn't come. Although they had always wanted to come to Beidu to see the world, in everyone's mind, coming to such a place still made them feel timid. The courage they had in Qingcheng seemed to vanish the moment Beidu was mentioned.
It's like after arriving in the Northern Capital, I felt completely lost and disoriented, and I was quite afraid.
On the Fang family's side, after waiting for a long time without receiving a letter, Madam Fang even began to suspect that Factory Director Fang's letter had been sent to the wrong address. Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu were also somewhat disappointed; they missed Fu Weidong too...
That day, Madam Fang was cooking at home when she heard her two sons cheering. They exclaimed, "Mom, Mom, a letter from Beidu! Quick, open it and see! Quick, open it and see!"
In the letter, Fan Xiaofan expressed her welcome to their arrival and invited them to stay at her home. The letter also included Fu Weidong's handwriting; although his handwriting wasn't perfect due to his soft bones, he tried his best to write neatly and legibly…
Mrs. Fang was overjoyed. As soon as Factory Director Fang returned, she immediately urged him to book train tickets for her and her children. Train tickets weren't hard to buy these days, but if you wanted sleeper berths, there were quite a few procedures involved...
Factory Director Fang felt a pang of envy; he also wanted to go, but the textile factory couldn't do without him...
He snorted and said, "Sooner or later, I'll be able to go and see Beidu..."
Mrs. Fang was too lazy to comfort her husband and urged him to get the necessary paperwork, introduction letters, train tickets, and so on for her and her children...
She then began preparing provisions for the train, even though there was supposedly food on board, Mrs. Fang was reluctant to spend that much.
Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu were extremely excited. Their impression of Beidu was limited to what others occasionally mentioned, or what they heard on the radio or in movies—that it was the capital of China.
After a two-day, one-night train journey, the mother and her children finally arrived in Beidu. After getting off the train, Madam Fang subconsciously straightened Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu's clothes. The two brothers, who were usually very bold, now hid behind their mother like quails, looking at her with curiosity.
At this moment, Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan, along with Fu Weidong, were waiting outside in their car. After Mrs. Fang came out with Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu, she felt completely lost. Just as she was about to ask someone for directions, she heard a familiar child's voice...
"Brother Xiangwen, Brother Xiangwu... over here, over here..."
It was Fu Weidong. He was overjoyed when he learned he was coming to pick up the Fang brothers at the train station…
Fang Xiangwu and Fang Xiangwen immediately waved to him.
