...
The next day.
Song Lan and Song Sanhe, along with Qin Yaqing and their two children, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, boarded the 8:45 a.m. train and left Beijing.
To avoid any accidents on the train, Da Bao and Er Bao were held in Song Sanhe and Li Jumei's arms, while Song Lan and Qin Yaqing each held Xiao Wu's hand and Xiao Liu's hand respectively.
There wasn't much luggage, just three travel bags containing a few changes of clothes for the group.
Therefore, getting on the train is not very difficult.
Since they were traveling in a soft sleeper compartment, which had four beds, Song Lan and the others managed to squeeze in comfortably.
The journey was about six hours long, so there was no need to lie down and sleep soundly in the bunk. However, after boarding the train and entering the compartment, Song Lan asked Qin Yaxin, "Do you want to lie down on the upper bunk or just sit on the lower bunk?"
"I need to help you take care of Da Bao and Er Bao, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu also need someone to watch over them. So I won't go to the top bunk to sleep. Anyway, we only have five or six hours. We can talk for a while and we'll be at the station soon."
As soon as Qin Yaxin finished speaking, before Song Lan could even open her mouth, Li Jumei said, "You and your Uncle Song can each take a bunk bed, and your aunt and sister-in-law can take care of the four little ones."
"this……"
Qin Yaxin hesitated.
"Listen to your aunt."
Song Lan said with a smile.
"Oh well."
Qin Yaxin nodded.
"Sister-in-law, I want to go play on the upper bunk."
Tuanzi Xiaowu suddenly spoke up.
"Can."
Song Lan responded, then looked at Qin Yaxin: "No objections, right?"
Qin Yaxin shook her head.
What opinions could she possibly have?
They don't sleep anyway; at most, they'll lie on their bunks and read or daydream for a while. Now that a little kid wants to play on their bunk, it's not a big deal.
"Second sister, second sister, I'll be very good, I definitely won't move around on it."
Tuanzi Xiaowu looked up at Qin Yaxin and said in a childish voice, "Besides, I'll only stay for a little while and then come down, so I won't bother you!"
"I didn't say you would bother me."
Qin Yaxin flicked the little guy's forehead with her finger and asked, "Shall we go up now?"
Tuanzi Xiaowu nodded her little head repeatedly: "Mmm-hmm!"
Qin Yaxin found it amusing. She shook her head and said with a smile, "Then Second Sister, carry her up."
"I'll do it."
Song Sanhe spoke up. He was tall and easily lifted the little guy up. The next moment, Tuanzi Xiaowu was already sitting on Qin Yaxin's bunk.
The little girl, Ya Xuan, was very well-behaved. She sat on a bunk below and stretched out her fingers to tease her two little nephews.
The train started moving and soon accelerated.
In a private room, with three adults and a young woman looking after four children, there were absolutely no safety concerns.
Besides, Song Lan was guarding the lower bunk and had martial arts skills, so there was no need to worry about anyone plotting against the kids.
Time slips away bit by bit.
Around 3:30 p.m., the train arrived at the platform where Song Lan and the others were to get off.
Upon exiting the station, Song Lan saw Yang Fan standing next to a jeep.
Happy New Year, Comrade Song!
Yang Fan stepped forward, greeted Song Lan with a smile, then took the luggage from Song Lan's hands, and also greeted Song Sanhe and Li Jumei.
Of course, he didn't forget to say "Happy New Year" to Qin Yaxin and the two little ones as well.
The jeep was packed full.
Song Sanhe sat in the passenger seat, holding Tuanzi Xiaowu in his arms.
Song Lan, Li Jumei, and Qin Yaxin sat in the back seat, each holding a child in their arms.
He was holding his little girl Xuanxuan and his two children, Dabao and Erbao.
Yang Fan drove very steadily, and since the county town was not far from the Hongxing Machinery Factory, he arrived safely at the residential area.

"Did anything happen on the way?"
The night outside the window was quiet. Qin Yanzheng lay on the bed with his beloved wife in his arms, his soft and magnetic voice slowly flowing from his lips.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan replied, "No."
Qin Yanzheng kissed his wife's forehead and said, "I heard it from Mom."
"What?"
Song Lan was puzzled.
“You could have stayed and worked at the Beijing Military Region General Hospital, but you chose to give up this opportunity.”
Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes softened as he said, "I know you decided to come back here because of me, but it was really unnecessary."
"What are you dreaming about?"
Song Lan didn't agree with what the man said. She gave a soft "humph" and said, "I'm worried about my eldest sister. Besides, my second sister has already finished one semester of high school. If she transfers back to Beijing, she'll inevitably fall behind in the curriculum."
Therefore, I decided to return to work at the staff hospital.
However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, my work will be transferred to Beijing in two years. If you still need to stay here then, you'll be all alone!
"That won't do."
Without hesitation, Qin Yanzheng said, "My work here will take a little over a year at most. After that, I will have to return to my original unit."
So you're saying you're leaving early?
Song Lan raised an eyebrow.
Qin Yanzheng: "No. Once the work here is completely finished, I will have a relatively long vacation. We'll leave together after your job transfer."
Song Lan: What if my work situation doesn't change?
"If the situation you described really happens, I will apply to my superiors to have your work relationship transferred along with mine."
Things that he can get done with a single phone call are really not a big problem.
"Looks like you have powerful connections!"
Song Lan teases men.
"You could say that."
Qin Yanzheng followed the advice and climbed up the pole.
Song Lan laughed out loud: "You're not modest at all."
"Is this necessary in front of your own wife?"
