The next morning, Sang Zhang left, taking Xu Saozi and her four daughters with her. Only Uncle, Aunt, and Sang Shen remained at home. Since Uncle was stationed at the military camp most of the time, Aunt Sang took the two of them around.
Buling took a total of seven days off. Subtracting the two days she came and the two days she left, she could stay in Ice City for three days. One day has already passed, so there are two days left.
These past two days, Aunt Sang took her and Sangshen to the mountains for a stroll. It's freezing cold now, and there's not much to do on the mountain, so it was just a fun outing.
My aunt said, "Come back next autumn. The chestnuts, pine nuts, walnuts and other wild fruits on the mountain will be ripe then. It will be much more fun than it is now."
Buling and Sangshen exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other's eyes: "Okay, Auntie, we'll definitely come then."
Aunt was even happier to hear this.
In the morning, I went up the mountain for a stroll, and in the afternoon, I went to the nearby villages. The troops here are stationed in the mountains.
There are very few villages nearby, and they are all located deep in the mountains. They are very poor, but the villages in the mountains have no shortage of leather and mountain products.
The aunt took the two of them to buy a lot of high-quality mountain products and leather. "I'll send these back to you. It'll be difficult to carry them on the train when there are so many people coming and going."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Auntie paid for everything along the way; Buling and Sangs were just carrying the bags.
The next day, my aunt took the two of them to the city for a stroll, but they returned after only one morning. The city was in chaos and there wasn't much to do there.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for Buling and Sangs to leave.
Early in the morning, Uncle Sang's bodyguard drove Buling, Sangshen, and Aunt to the city.
Having heard about Bling's tragic experience traveling by car, the usually stern Uncle Sang, for the sake of his nephew's wife, unusually used his official position for personal reasons and ordered his guards to take them to the train station.
As for the train tickets, Uncle Sang, who is all-powerful, had already bought them. Of course, they were sleeper tickets. Sang Shen and Bu Ling didn't have to worry about anything; their elders had arranged everything perfectly.
When they arrived at the train station, Auntie held Lingling's hand reluctantly, saying, "Lingling, remember to write to Auntie when you get home!"
Buling shook hands in return: "I understand, Auntie!"
"Also, remember to pick up those mountain produce from the post office. If you don't have enough, write to your aunt."
"I will, Auntie!"
Aunt Sang gave many more instructions, but only one sentence to Sang Shen: "Take good care of Lingling."
Sang Shen reluctantly agreed.
As dawn broke, it was almost time to depart. Buling and Sangshen bid farewell to their reluctant aunt.
He boarded the train with the flow of people, found his carriage, and then opened the window to wave to Aunt Sang: "Aunt, let's go back! It's too cold outside!"
Aunt Sang called out, "I know, be careful on your way!"
As the train slowly moved forward, Aunt Sang's figure gradually shrank until it became a small black dot. Only then did Bu Ling and Sang Shen pull their heads back and close the window.
The sleeper carriage, also known as the cadre carriage, has always been sparsely populated. For the time being, Bu Ling and Sang Shen were the only two people in their carriage.
"Lingling, sleep a little longer, you got up too early this morning."
Buling didn't hesitate and climbed onto the top bunk. "Okay, I'll sleep first, then it'll be your turn!"
It would be foolish for two people to fall into a deep sleep while traveling!
The journey back was peaceful. Even though other passengers boarded the carriage later, those who could stay in the cadre carriage were all well-mannered and naturally wouldn't do anything tasteless.
The train arrived in Kyoto the following afternoon. Sangshen, holding Bling's hand and carrying her suitcase, got off the train and exited the platform.
"Are we going to see Grandpa again?" Buling asked. Her vacation ended today, and she had to go back to work tomorrow.
Sang Shen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back. My brother will handle things at the restaurant." He always had a mysterious confidence in Sang Zi, and Sang Zi had never let him down.
“Okay!” Bling readily agreed.
Grandpa Sang had no idea that the two would be returning to Kyoto, so naturally no one picked them up, and the two could only take the tram back.
They got off the car near the military headquarters compound and walked for a while before arriving at their destination.
After registering at the door, Sangshen took Buling home. The house was quiet; Grandpa Sang wasn't there, only the nanny, Aunt Fang, was home.
"Xiao Qi is back?" Aunt Fang looked up when she heard the door open.
Sangshen nodded: "Sister Fang, is there anything to eat? We're so hungry!"
Aunt Fang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I just steamed some buns at noon, I'll heat them up for you!"
"Thank you, Aunt Fang!"
While Aunt Fang was heating up the buns, Sangshen said, "Lingling, sit for a while, I'll go upstairs and make the bed."
Bling didn't refuse, "Okay!"
Aunt Fang was a thoughtful person. She not only heated up the steamed buns, but also cooked porridge for the two of them. They ate the buns and drank the porridge with some pickled vegetables, which was very comfortable.
After eating and drinking their fill, Buling and Sangs felt completely relaxed, inside and out.
"Sister Fang, Lingling and I are going upstairs to rest first. Please tell Grandpa when he comes back." Sangshen leaned back lazily in her chair.
Aunt Fang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I understand."
After giving instructions, the two carried their suitcases up to the third floor. Once inside, Sangshen took out some underwear from the wardrobe and handed it to Buling: "Lingling, go take a shower to relax."
Buling took the clothes, glanced at Sangshen, and said meaningfully, "Together?"
Mulberry's hand trembled slightly: "Aren't you tired?"
