"That's right, why not just take the train? Buying two berths will save you a lot of trouble."
Jia Xiaomin reacted immediately and said with sudden realization.
"Oh, life is so good now that I almost forgot I could take the train. Ever since I bought the car, my first instinct is to drive wherever I go."
Ren Surong also smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, this is really what the ancients said: it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
"Well, taking a plane is also good, it's faster."
Du Chen interjected again.
"Yes, that's fine, Lao Du, how about we take a plane?"
When Lao Ding heard the word "airplane", his eyes lit up. He had never been on a plane before, and he would like to try it if he had the chance.
"Why take a plane? It's unsafe and expensive!"
Jia Xiaomin glared at Lao Ding. "Don't you know what your family's financial situation is like now? How much does a plane ticket cost? And you still want to fly?"
"Wife, the truth is that airplanes are the safest means of transportation."
Old Ding argued with Jia Xiaomin about the safety of the plane without any expression.
"If something happens to a plane, isn't everything basically gone? Why is it the safest form of transportation?"
Ren Surong was very curious about how this conclusion came about.
"That's not it..."
"Shut up! I said it's unsafe, so it's unsafe!"
Without waiting for Lao Ding to finish speaking, Jia Xiaomin stared at him murderously.
"I've never been on a plane before, so I'm curious..."
Old Ding muttered in a low voice in grievance.
"Uncle Ding, let's do it next time. Next time you go out to play, you and Auntie can take a plane together. Add my parents and we can all try what it's like to fly together."
Du Chen covered his eyes, thinking that Lao Ding shouldn't be so slow to react.
After Du Chen reminded him, Lao Ding finally understood where the problem lay. It turned out that his wife had never been on a plane, and she was unhappy about him taking one.
"That's right, Chenchen! Next time, let's go out together without the kids! Just by ourselves!"
In order to avoid physical pain, Lao Ding sold Ding Miaomiao without hesitation.
"That's more like it."
Jia Xiaomin nodded with satisfaction.
"Second brother, go read a book after you finish eating!"
Comrade Lao Du saw that it was almost time and reminded Du Chen.
"Hey, okay Dad, I'll go read a book now!"
Du Chen answered Comrade Lao Du, shoveled the last mouthful of rice in the bowl into his mouth, then wiped his mouth and went upstairs to read. The final exam was coming up soon, so it was a good opportunity to see how his efforts this semester were.
……………………
After waiting for a long time, on the expected day, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao drove back from the capital, exhausted.
"Are you tired from the journey? Have you eaten?"
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao had just entered the eyewear store when Ren Surong couldn't wait to greet them.
"Mom, luckily I'm not tired. Miaomiao and I took turns driving and even took a break at the service area. Otherwise, we would have been back a long time ago!"
Returning to the eyewear store he hadn't visited for a long time, Du Bin relaxed immediately. It felt so good to be home.
"Miaomiao, are you tired? Are you thirsty?"
Ren Surong asked Ding Miaomiao with a smile on his face again.
"Auntie, I'm not tired. We drove slowly all the way. Auntie, isn't my mother in the store?"
Ding Miaomiao looked around and didn't see Jia Xiaomin, so she asked Ren Surong.
"Your mom, knowing you'll be back today, went out to buy groceries and will make you a big dinner tonight!"
Looking at the two children in front of her, Ren Surong felt infinite joy in her heart and spoke with a smile.
"Mom, why bother? Just have a bite. If that doesn't work, we can just go to a restaurant and have a bite."
Du Bin persuaded Ren Surong, not wanting to overwork his mother and future mother-in-law.
"Oh, I must have given you a nice welcome dinner the day before when I got home. Okay, just forget about it. If you're tired, go upstairs and rest."
"No need, Mom. I'm not tired. I just want to pack my luggage first!"
After Du Bin finished speaking, he picked up his suitcase and prepared to go upstairs to pack his own suitcase. Ding Miaomiao followed him upstairs. Ren Surong watched the two children go upstairs with a smile, and then sat at the counter, waiting for Jia Xiaomin to come back from buying groceries.
"Du Chen, have you asked Brother Bin if college is fun? And Brother Bin will be back soon, right?"
During the extracurricular activities in the afternoon, Du Chen, Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang leaned on the railings to get some fresh air. The heating in the classroom was too good, so Du Chen came out to get some cool air to clear his head.
"What's wrong? Are you looking forward to college life?"
Du Chen asked Zhao Pengfei with a smile.
"Of course. No matter how well I study, I'm always looking forward to what kind of university I can go to."
Zhao Pengfei imitated Du Chen, leaning on the railing pretentiously, with a tone very much like a literary youth.
"Oh, our Zhao Pengfei also knows how to think?"
Li Qiang teased Zhao Pengfei with a smile
"After all, I'm already a freshman in high school. I have to grow up, right?"
Zhao Pengfei didn't care about Li Qiang's teasing.
"So, do you have any plans for the future?"
Seeing that Zhao Pengfei was quite serious, Li Qiang also asked Zhao Pengfei seriously.
"As for me, I'll be thankful if I can get into a good college. By the way, I was just asking about Brother Bin, why are you talking about me now?"
After Zhao Pengfei answered Li Qiang's question, he realized that the topic seemed to have gone off track?
"University? It's pretty good. You can apply for the major you like and study the knowledge you want. No one will bother you if you want to date. Also, I guess my brother and sister Miaomiao are home by now, right?"
