Ran Qiming smiled and nodded, then turned around and glared at Ping Zhengping again. He then pushed the meat and vegetable dishes toward Ping Zhengping and dragged the entire plate of twice-cooked pork in front of him. "This is what Zhou wanted to treat me."
Ping Zhengping didn't say anything. It was impossible for him to steal the food. He was not Ji Bin.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at its final destination, Beijing Railway Station.
Eleven people got off the train in an orderly manner according to Zhou Xiang's original queue.
To get to the exit, you have to go through the underground passage and go down the stairs. The cardboard boxes on the cart have to be lifted separately. After several attempts, you finally get out of the exit.
Facing the square in front of the station, the idiot Ji Bin shouted, "Beijing, here I come."
Everyone immediately stayed away from him and pretended not to know him.
There was a subway station not far from the station. Zhou Xiang was waiting for Ran Qiming's arrangements. Ran Qiming's eyes were confused. Zhou Xiang asked helplessly, "Teacher Ran, have you never been to Beijing?"
Ran Qiming, "I've been here before, when I was a kid."
Zhou thought, "So, where is the destination?"
Ran Qiming, "No. 101 Middle School."
Zhou Xiang naturally knew about this famous middle school, which was located inside the Old Summer Palace.
"Whether you take the subway or the bus, you have to change buses. The subway is faster, but the price is more expensive."
Ran Qiming listened to her talk and asked hurriedly, "Have you been here?"
"Of course. Why is my mom coming along? Decide quickly. I still have to send my mom and my eldest brother off!"
Ran Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll follow your arrangements."
"Okay! Take the subway, then change to the bus at Xizhimen. One bus will take you to the school gate."
"Okay! Let's go take the subway."
The cart was dismantled again. Although there was an escalator, it was one-way and could only go up but not down.
The whizzing subway attracted everyone's attention again. Zhou Xiang secretly told his third brother the things to pay attention to when taking the subway.
He left the pulling of the cart to him and Zuo Heng, and pulled his mother and elder brother himself.
In fact, it would be most appropriate to send her mother and elder brother first, but she didn't like to take the bus with a large group.
Besides, Brother Chao is also there. It’s okay to reveal his true self in front of his group of people, but what about Ran Qiming and Ping Zhengping?
I got on the crowded subway, got off at Xizhimen, and asked people for the bus stop.
Because the two cardboard boxes took up space, one extra ticket was printed.
After getting off at the east exit of Yiheyuan Road, Zhou Xiang raised his hand and pointed, "That's it. I'm going to take my mom and big brother to find my aunt. If you don't have enough time, come here tomorrow morning."
Ran Qiming looked at the white sign at the gate not far away, which was indeed No. 101 Middle School. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay!"
Zhou Hua wanted to go with us, but there were too many things, and it would be inconvenient for her younger sister to take care of her mother and elder brother alone.
Zhou wanted to stop him from going because meeting his grandmother would affect his mood, so he decided to wait until after the exam. "You need to check the venue. Ask Meizi to reserve a bed for me."
I took my mother and older brother to change cars halfway and it took nearly two hours to reach the entrance of the alley. It was already dark.
Even this couldn't stop Zhou Niao's curiosity, "Sister, are we back again?"
Zhou Xiang smiled. "Big Brother, you're amazing. The streets and houses in this area are very similar. If you come directly from the train station, you can get there in four stops to the north. There were too many people just now, so it's not suitable to bring everyone along."
"Oh!" Zhou Niao didn't understand, so he stopped asking.
Zhou's mother understood that her daughter was beating around the bush because she didn't want another student she had excluded and Teacher Ran to know her background here. That was fine; she didn't particularly like that student either.
After entering the alley and turning two corners, Zhou's mother felt dizzy and could no longer recognize the road, so she let her little daughter lead the way.
In Zhima Hutong, Zhou Xiang knocked on a courtyard door. Footsteps were heard in the courtyard. The door opened and Lu Rong shouted in surprise, "Big sister? Zhou Xiang? Zhou Niao? Come in, come in."
As he said that, he took the cart from Zhou Xiang's hand. Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She had been riding buses and subways in Beijing for nearly four hours. She was really tired!
In the room, Jiang Weifang heard Lu Rong's surprised voice and hurried out.
"Big sister is here? Think about it, Niao Niao, come in quickly, haven't you eaten yet?"
A small figure rushed out of the room, "Fourth sister? Fourth sister, you finally came to see me?"
Zhou Xiang picked up the little fat girl and asked, "Why don't you lose weight?"
"My parents said it looks good this way."
After being welcomed into the house with great fanfare, Zhou's mother called out to Old Lady Liu on the sofa, "Mom!"
"Hey!" Old Lady Liu's eyes were slightly red. Her eldest daughter finally agreed to come and see her. "Come on, sit down and rest. Are you tired?"
Mother Zhou sat down and relaxed, she was really tired.
Seeing Long Chao, Zhou Xiang put down the fat girl in his arms, took out a small bag of dried fruits from his backpack and handed it to him, "Uncle, here, I've been very busy for more than a year and haven't sent it to you. How are you?"
Long Chao happily took the bag and said, "Thank you, Xiang Xiang. I'm much better now. I've only been to the hospital once in the past year."
Apparently, she wasn't completely healed yet, which was no wonder, considering how many days she'd only been drinking it. She only sent it once, and then things got busy, so she didn't ask for it back in her letter. She thought she was completely healed!
"Then keep drinking it. Make sure you're completely healed. If it's gone, ask your aunt to call back for more."
"Is there a telephone installed at home?"
"Yeah! Didn't my mom tell my aunt?"
The two sisters who were chatting animatedly were being watched by the aunt and nephew, and they didn't understand what was going on.
Seeing his mother's expression, Zhou Xiang was confused. "Mom! How long has it been since you wrote to my aunt?"
Mother Zhou was slightly startled. "It seems that after your sister gave birth, I wrote a letter to announce the good news, and we haven't corresponded since then."
In this case, Zhou would like to briefly talk about what happened at home after his second sister gave birth.
Jiang Weifang congratulated Zhou's mother repeatedly, "Congratulations, big sister, you're living in a big house. It's the best in the town."
Mother Zhou narrowed her eyes in a smile. "Yes! My life has finally been filled with joy after all the hardships. Xiang Xiang has taken care of your brother-in-law, and everything is going smoothly at home. Xiang Xiang is here to participate in the national competition, so I said I'd come to see you. It just so happens that you're on vacation too."
Seeing the heartfelt smile on her elder sister's face, Jiang Weifang had tears in her eyes. Her elder sister had suffered for half her life and was finally able to enjoy life.
Lu Rong brought in the food, and the mother and her two children sat at the table to eat.
Long Xin sat on the other side of the square table and looked at Zhou Xiang. "Fourth sister, how long will you be staying this time? Can you play with me?"
Zhou wanted to swallow the food in his mouth, "No! I'm here to take the exam, and my third brother and many classmates want me to accompany them. Ask my eldest brother to play with you. Wait until I finish the exam, and then we can talk if we have time."
When Jiang Weifang heard that Xiao Sanzi was also coming to participate in the competition, but did not come with her, she knew that he had not yet gotten over this hurdle in his heart.
I sighed in my heart, thinking that my mother was too much after all.
After dinner, Zhou Xiang asked Jiang Weifang, "Aunt, do you know which courtyard my blind aunt and Brother Chao live in?"
"She lives in the courtyard down this alley. Sister Zhao often comes to visit the old lady."
