Chapter 173 Heading to Beijing
No. 18.
Early in the morning.
Lin Su'e and the children all wore new clothes and entered the house at an auspicious time.
Post couplets.
Set off firecrackers.
Relatives and friends also came one after another.
"Oh, the furniture has been moved into this house. It looks more magnificent than the day before yesterday."
“Each room here has a bed and a wardrobe.”
"I think this house is better than the ones in the city."
"When I have more money, I will build a house like this."
“…”
Took them on a tour.
Lin Su'e went into the kitchen to prepare cooking.
Suddenly, she thought of something: "Chunlan, go boil a pot of hot water first."
Boiling water when moving into a new home represents money rolling in.
I almost forgot.
Zhao Chunlan nodded quickly: "Oh, okay."
For today's menu, she plans to make it perfect: boiled fish fillet, red oil chicken, sweet and sour spare ribs, preserved vegetable pork, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, fried crab in typhoon shelter, dry pot shrimp, beef stewed with potatoes, mapo tofu and sour radish and old duck soup.
With the help of Zhao Chunlan, Zhao Zhenren and Qian Cuihua, it was done without much effort.
noon.
We sat at 4 tables.
Lin Su'e greeted with a smile: "Everyone, please don't be polite, eat and drink well."
“…”
We had a lively meal.
…
Nightfall.
The children went back to their rooms to sleep.
Lin Su'e filled the kerosene lamp with oil.
Tonight.
Keep the lights on all night.
Return to the room.
Lin Su'e finally had some time to herself. She looked around the room and felt emotional.
Moved to a new home.
In her previous life, she lived in the old house for almost her entire life, and only when she got old did she move to the city with her children for a few years.
but.
She didn't miss the old house.
She lost too many relatives in that place, including her husband, eldest daughter, eldest son, youngest son...
Too much sadness.
Shaking her head, looking at the magnificent and spacious room in front of her, she smiled sincerely: "Now, everything is different."
…
Zhao Chunlan's room.
Baozhu had fallen asleep. She sat in front of the bed and stared at her daughter for a long time. Finally, she lowered her head and kissed her forehead, murmuring, "Have a good dream, baby~"
Get up.
I stood up, touched the head of the bed, the bedside table, the new wardrobe, the dressing table, and the desk, and before I knew it, my eyes were red...
…
Zhao Zhenren, Zhao Zhenyi and Zhao Fenglan admired the room and then lay down.
Zhao Zhenli jumped on the bed excitedly for a long time, then felt tired and fell asleep in a second.
Zhao Zhenxin also rolled around on the bed for a long time.
As soon as Zhao Yulan entered the room, she was excited for a while.
…
the next day.
After Lin Su'e had breakfast, she rode her bicycle to leave.
certainly.
The letter of introduction was opened.
The requirements for issuing letters of introduction are not strict nowadays. As long as you have a legitimate reason, you can get one.
Except for the educated youth.
During that decade, many educated youth went to the countryside. Those who could not bear the hard life and felt there was no hope of returning to the city got married and had children in the village. After the college entrance examination was resumed, many people were admitted to universities and abandoned their families and children. Some who did not get into universities cheated to get letters of introduction and returned to the city, never to return.
This kind of situation happens a lot.
The village also had a hold on the educated youth’s letters of introduction, and would not issue them unless the family explicitly agreed.
That's going too far.
Speaking of now.
Zhao Zhenli looked eagerly: "Mom, are you going to buy the tickets?"
"Well, what's up?"
Zhao Zhenli raised his hand: "I want to go too."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenxin immediately agreed: "I want one too."
Zhao Yulan: "Mom, take me with you."
Lin Su'e: "..."
"You're not going out to play just because you bought a ticket. Don't bring any with you. Just stay home."
The trouble of having many children.
If you bring one, you have to bring all. If you don’t have three heads and six arms, then don’t bring any.
Zhao Zhenli and the other two: "...Oh."
…
TRAIN STATION.
After waiting in line for a few minutes, it was Lin Su'e's turn. She was the first to answer, "Comrade, I need eight train tickets to Beijing, three of which are for children."
There are 9 people in a row.
But Baozhu is less than 1.2 meters tall and does not need a ticket.
Zhao Zhenxin and Zhao Yulan have been well-nourished this year and have grown a lot. They are now over 1.2 meters tall.
Including Zhao Zhenli, 3 half-price tickets.
Hearing this.
The conductor glanced at her and said, "Sister, wait a moment and let me take a look."
A moment.
She explained: "Sister, there is a train from Puxian to Beijing tomorrow night, but it will take about 5 days to go around the south."
Lin Su'e frowned: "So long?"
It takes 10 days to go back and forth, and you have to come back after just a few days of fun.
The conductor continued, "Don't worry, sister. I haven't finished yet. There is a special train from Chengdu to the capital. I can help you buy a ticket from Puxian to Chengdu. You can transfer once in Chengdu. This train will only take 35 hours to reach the capital."
Listen.
Lin Su'e agreed immediately: "Okay, I want a special car."
"Are there any berths?"
"There are still 4 soft sleepers and 10 hard sleepers. The soft sleepers are separate and there is one private room in the hard sleepers that is still empty."
“How many beds are there in a private room?”
"Six."
6?
Lin Su'e thought to herself: It's not impossible to squeeze in.
With so many children, she definitely wouldn't let them leave her sight.
"Okay, I want 6 hard sleepers."
"Okay, that's 150 bucks in total."
Lin Su'e began to pay with a painful look on her face: "Okay."
Get your ticket.
She checked it out.
The departure time is 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the arrival time in Chengdu for transfer is 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and the arrival time in the capital is 6 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.
go home.
The children knew the specific time and started to get excited.
This is also considered a long journey.
Lin Su'e planned to prepare more food and drinks.
The most important thing is to bring thick clothes. The winter in the north is very cold and you can’t bear it if you don’t wear enough.
For food, she made pancakes: pickled mustard greens pancakes, leek and egg pancakes, and brown sugar pancakes.
Braised chicken legs, eggs, duck feet and duck heads.
Don't forget to bring other biscuits, candies and fruits.
The drink was a mung bean milk.
Before departure.
Lin Su'e looked at Zhao Zhenli and his three children and asked in a serious tone, "Do you remember what I said?"
Zhao Zhenli and the other two nodded heavily.
"Repeat that."
The three of them said in unison.
"Hold your brothers and sisters' hands and don't let go."
"Don't walk around alone on the train, and ask your mother, brother or sister to accompany you when you go to the toilet."
"If someone you don't know approaches us, call for help immediately. If they try to catch us, they can damage public facilities or other travelers' belongings, but they can't take us away."
“…”
Lin Su'e nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, you must remember it."
These days, there is no surveillance, not even DNA matching. There are many human traffickers in places with a large flow of people, so if someone gets lost, it is almost impossible to find them.
therefore.
This time, Lin Su'e adopted the method of one big being responsible for a small one. Zhao Chunlan was in charge of Zhao Baozhu, Zhao Zhenren was in charge of Zhao Zhenli, Zhao Zhenyi was in charge of Zhao Zhenxin, and Zhao Fenglan was in charge of Zhao Yulan. One was responsible for one, and they were not allowed to be separated.
"Set off."
"oh!!"
On the way.
Someone saw them carrying so many bags and couldn't help asking, "Aunt San, are you going on a long journey?"
Lin Su'e smiled: "Yes, visit a relative."
It is said that traveling to Beijing is too annoying, so you should keep a low profile.
