Zhao Qinglan, feeling young, gave up her sleeper berth so that her uncle and son could sleep together.
And she didn't just sit somewhere else; when she got sleepy, she would take things out of her bag, spread them out between the two berths, and sleep for a while.
The other passengers at the same spot treated her much better after they learned she was a military wife, and they didn't object to her taking up a seat at the back.
When someone had had enough sleep, they would even give up their own berth for her to lie down for a while.
This also made Zhao Qinglan sigh that most of the people at this time were really very simple and honest.
When Li Huai and his group decided to come to the capital, they had already told Old Master Dou, and the old man had thoroughly cleaned and tidied up the courtyard and house.
This time, Zhao Qinglan and her family planned to spend the Spring Festival in Beijing with Grandpa Dou and their uncle, Sun Guangming.
After learning of their plans, Grandpa Dou never stopped smiling.
After the school let out for winter break, Sun Wen took a car back to the military family quarters, while Wei Hong didn't even go home this time and stayed in Beijing.
Having learned that Zhao Qinglan and her family were coming to Beijing for the Chinese New Year, they've been helping Grandpa Dou with cleaning and chores every day for the past few days.
After a leisurely journey, Zhao Qinglan and her group finally arrived in the capital on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
As soon as he exited the station, he saw Zhang Yu and the Jeep parked next to him.
"Auntie, Uncle, give me the things, I'll take them." He enthusiastically snatched the bag away.
Since Li Huai and the others still had several hours before arriving at their destination, Zhang Yu took them home first.
Sun Guangming already knew that Zhao Qinglan and the others also had a place to stay in the capital.
He lived in the dormitory provided by his work unit in Beijing, so when his niece invited him to stay in their courtyard and spend the New Year together, he agreed without hesitation.
Having spent the Lunar New Year alone for many years, I couldn't be happier to finally find relatives and spend the New Year together with them.
Besides, he had no children of his own, and he treated Zhao Qinglan's nieces as if they were his own daughters.
Zhang Yu was very talkative, and he chatted a lot with Sun Guangming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, along the way.
Just as Li Huai had previously thought, Sun Guangming's official rank might not be very high, but his position was very important.
When Zhang Yu learned that his good friend had gained such an uncle, he was happy for him.
When Sun arrived in the capital for the first time, his eyes were constantly on the road after he got into the carriage. He kept looking at the places they were passing by and kept exclaiming, "No wonder it is the capital!"
Zhao Qinglan looked outside again and noticed some changes.
In the past, people on the street wore only a few dark colors, such as black, gray, blue, and green.
But now, you can see a lot of bright colors.
It is conceivable that the spring breeze of reform and opening up has had a significant impact on the capital.
The third child was still young. He was curious when he got in the car, but he fell asleep after a while because of the novelty.
When they arrived outside the courtyard house, it was Zhao Qinglan who carried her son down.
When Grandpa Dou first saw the third child, he was immediately struck by his goodness.
After they entered the house, Zhang Yu sat for a while, drank some hot water, and then drove to the train station to pick them up.
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law's courtyard in the capital, Mrs. Sun was quite amazed.
This is so much better than the yard they bought over there.
Grandpa Dou doesn't cook complicated meals, but knowing they were coming, he cooked porridge and prepared some vegetables.
Zhao Qinglan and the others were also a little hungry, so they all ate some.
Even the third child was woken up.
After the rooms were cleaned and her mother and uncle were settled in, Zhao Qinglan came over to talk to Grandpa Dou.
"Grandpa Dou, you're twenty-eight today. Can you still buy meat and vegetables outside?"
She had just gone into the kitchen and checked; there were various ingredients, but not many, and she wanted to prepare more.
Since she was finally able to spend the New Year in Beijing, she wanted everyone to eat well.
"Yes, we'll close at noon tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinglan quickly grabbed her money and tickets, intending to go out and buy something.
"What's the rush? Why don't you wait for Li Huai to come, then you can go together. He can even help you carry your things."
"Oh yeah, how much can I take by myself?" Zhao Qinglan touched her nose and put the basket down again.
The thought of seeing her husband soon made her restless, and she would often stand at the door and look out.
Old Master Dou found it amusing, but he didn't point it out.
At the train station, after Zhang Yu arrived, he waited for quite a while before picking up Li Huai and the others.
Upon seeing his good brother, Zhang Yu immediately gave him a punch.
"It's great to see you again. Get in the car quickly."
"Where are Qinglan and the others?"
"Don't worry, I've already picked them up and brought them to your house."
"That's good." Li Huai's smile immediately brightened.
Seeing his eagerness to see his wife, Zhang Yu found it amusing and sped up his car.
Upon finally hearing the sound of a car outside, Zhao Qinglan was the first to run out.
On the bus, Da Wa and Er Wa jumped off and rushed towards Zhao Qinglan.
"Mom," the two children called out affectionately.
Xiao Duo and Madam Sun then came out as well.
"You're finally here."
"Grandma, I miss you so much," Erwa said sweetly.
When Li Huai saw his wife, his eyes burned with passion, but he couldn't do anything in front of so many people. Only when his wife smiled at him did the corners of his mouth curve up.
After putting the things down, before they had even exchanged many words, Zhao Qinglan hurriedly pulled her husband out to buy some things, afraid that if they went too late they wouldn't be able to buy anything.
Zhang Yu dropped the person off, said they would meet again another day, and then the person left.
As soon as Zhao Qinglan and her husband left the hospital, Li Huai, seeing that no one was around, suddenly attacked and smacked them.
