Zhang Xinlan and the others had gotten up early, their mouths already drooling with grease. Hearing this, she asked curiously, "You said it takes two or three days to get to Beijing by train. How long does it take to get to Country E? It can't be a week, right?"
"I told you you're uneducated, but you still refuse to admit it." Wu Guixiang rolled her eyes at her. "Why would you take a train when going abroad? You can just fly through the sky, which is much faster than a train."
Although she had never ridden on one, she understood. This second son's wife was really stupid. Not all routes between countries were traversable by trains. There were rivers and seas, and so on. How could a train go underwater? And could railroad tracks be built on the sea?
If Su Qingyun knew what her grandmother was thinking at this moment, she might really tell her that it is possible to open the undersea tunnel to traffic in a few years.
"Take a plane? Like those bombing planes in the movies?" Zhang Xinlan was so shocked that the dumplings in her mouth almost dropped. "Oh my god, can you take a plane to go abroad?"
Su Qingyun smiled, "Second Aunt, there are many kinds of airplanes. The ones you mentioned in the movies are called bombers and fighter planes. There are also airplanes that are used to transport passengers like trains. They are very large and can seat many people. They are also very fast."
"Oh, there are so many kinds." Zhang Xinlan nodded, not quite understanding. "That's incredible! I haven't even taken a train yet, and you're already taking a plane?"
She looked at Qin Ying and Su Aimin with some envy, "Then third brother, will you two go with us? By plane?" Zhang Xinlan's activities in the past half of her life have basically been confined to these two villages. The farthest she has been is to the county, and she has never taken a train.
"That's Yunyun's competition. We are not contestants, so of course we can't go with her," Qin Ying said.
They could go to the capital with him, but going abroad with him was definitely impossible. The number of people who had gone abroad was fixed, so how could they bring their families along? She and Ai Min planned to stay in the capital and wait for Yunyun to come back.
"Is that so?" Zhang Xinlan finally felt a little better. "Then is it safe to fly? Won't you be in the middle of the flight and...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Wu Guixiang slapped her in the face. She stared at her with terrifying eyes, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "Eating dumplings can't stop your mouth, right? If you don't want to eat, don't eat."
She really can't control her mouth and suddenly said something unlucky!
Zhang Xinlan was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head and ate fiercely, not daring to speak again.
"Eat, eat!" Wu Guixiang called out to others in a bad mood.
Su Qingyun had recovered her strength after a night's sleep. The dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and pork were fresh and juicy. The subtle sour taste whetted her appetite and she ate until her belly was full.
"It's almost time, we should get ready to go." Su Aimin finished eating and looked at the time.
"Okay." Su Qingyun and Qin Ying also finished eating and stood up to go out.
Wu Guixiang looked reluctant and said, "I'll take you there."
The whole family saw them off.
"Be careful. Be careful in everything you do when you go out. Don't be reckless. Do you hear me?" Wu Guixiang warned carefully.
"I understand, grandma." Su Qingyun nodded obediently.
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about your father."
Su Aimin: “?” Does he look so unreliable?
"Let's go." Su Aimin said seriously, "Dad and Mom, you guys stay home well and don't get too tired. I will take good care of Yunyun and the others. Don't worry."
"I understand. Let's go, let's go quickly." Wu Guixiang waved her hand with a look of disgust, but when she turned away, her eyes were full of reluctance.
Everyone watched the backs of the three of them walking further and further away. No one told Su Qingyun to work hard to win glory for the country. This was too big a statement, and they didn't dare to think about it. Their only hope was to go out safely and return home safely.
As she walked, Su Qingyun suddenly turned around and saw that the figure at the door had not left yet. Her eyes suddenly became a little wet. Perhaps life is filled with such repeated farewells and partings, but people also grow up in such repeated partings.
She thought that everyone would get better, and she would too, definitely.
