Chapter 234 Arrival in the Capital
Zhang Chunxue knew that this was not because Zhong Chengfa and Zhong Chengren had a particularly good relationship.
Rather, this was his second brother who had died.
She ignored Zhong Chengfa and walked to Zhong Guosheng's grave. She reached out and brushed away the fallen leaves on the tombstone, her fingertips gently tracing the name engraved on it. She whispered, "Guosheng, don't blame me."
She thought to herself, "They treated me like that, they treated their own mother like that. Zhong Guosheng, you'll understand why I did this episode!"
"For your sake, I will no longer make things difficult for Zhong Chengfa..."
"Let all of this, like Zhong Chengren's fate, return to dust, to ashes!"
Song Xingzhi didn't say anything, he just stood silently to the side.
He actually felt a bit emotional.
After all... with two sons dead at once, Zhong Guosheng would probably be completely dumbfounded if he saw them in the afterlife!
After Zhong Chengren's funeral was over, Zhang Chunxue and the others prepared to return to town.
Zhong Cheng escorted them to the village entrance, but Zhang Chunxue eventually lost her patience and sent him back.
As for the unspoken words in Zhong Chengfa's eyes, she pretended not to see them.
Life returned to normal, and Zhang Chunxue and Zhou Mingli set up their stall every day, living a very comfortable life.
Finally, winter vacation arrived, and Zhong Xiaoxiao was on holiday.
Before Zhong Xiaoxiao went on vacation, Song Xingzhi was already making preparations for his trip to the capital.
Because they had already made plans to go to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year, Song Xingzhi and Zhang Chunxue prepared lots of bags and booked sleeper tickets, just waiting for Zhong Xiaoxiao to have her holiday!
So, on the second day of Zhong Xiaoxiao's vacation, the family took the train to Beijing.
Zhong Xiaoxiao had never traveled far from home, so she was especially excited.
Not to mention her, even Zhou Mingli was traveling far from home for the first time.
The farthest place she had ever been was the county.
Therefore, like Zhong Xiaoxiao, she kept looking out the car window.
Needless to say, Song Yanshen was dressed in thick winter clothes and wore a woolen hat knitted for him by Zhou Mingli, curiously peering through the car window.
The sleeper car was warm and cozy, and his face turned rosy.
The view outside the window is actually quite monotonous; you can occasionally see some houses, but it's all just ordinary scenery.
But Song Yanshen was very happy.
What was he doing at this time last year?
He was looking for a place where he could hide and avoid freezing to death in the winter.
He was hungry and cold.
At that time, he even thought that he might as well just freeze to death.
But he survived in the end.
Fortunately, he survived; otherwise, how would he have met his father, mother, and two wonderful older sisters?
Oh, and Dad's family, and Xiaoze-gege too.
After studying speaking for half a year, Song Yanshen's pronunciation was still not very clear, but he was already able to express his meaning completely.
Thinking that he could give Song Yanzhe a surprise during his trip to the capital, Song Yanshen smiled again.
The train traveled for two days and two nights before finally arriving in the capital on the afternoon of the third day.
They had already notified Song Yanshan by telegram that they were coming back, so as soon as they got off the car, they saw the people who had come to pick them up.
The entire Song family arrived, and Song Yanzhe was especially excited, constantly looking around to see which carriage they would be getting off in.
The moment Song Yanzhe saw his second uncle, his eyes lit up.
"Second Uncle! Second Aunt!" Song Yanzhe immediately waved his hand frantically, "We're here!"
Although the train station was very noisy, Song Yanzhe's loud voice immediately attracted Zhang Chunxue and the others' attention.
So the group squeezed through the crowd, carrying large and small bags, and came over.
Song Yanshan and Song Xingyun quickly stepped forward to help carry the things.
Qian Xiaowan and Zheng Wenbi immediately came over as well.
"Oh dear! You must be exhausted after sitting on the train for two days!" Zheng Wenbi reached out and patted Zhong Xiaoxiao's head.
Qian Xiaowan took Zhong Yuanyuan from her and weighed her in her arms, exclaiming, "Wow! Yuanyuan has gotten chubby; she'll be a year old soon!"
Zhou Mingli smiled shyly: "Yes, she'll be one year old in half a month!"
"That's wonderful! We can celebrate her first birthday in the capital!" Qian Xiaowan couldn't help but adore Zhong Yuanyuan's chubby little face.
There was really no other way; it was as if the Song family was cursed, and they just couldn't produce a daughter.
My cousin's daughter-in-law is six months pregnant. She went for a check-up a few days ago and found out it's another boy. Everyone is really worried.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back first!" Song Yanshan said, carrying two large bags. "Xingyun and I each drove here, so if we squeeze in, there'll be enough room!"
Zheng Wenbi especially liked Zhong Xiaoxiao, after all, she also longed for a daughter, so she immediately pulled Zhong Xiaoxiao: "Come on, Xiaoxiao, sit with Grandma!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao also took her arm: "Then I'll sit with Grandma!"
Qian Xiaowan also pulled Zhou Mingli along, saying, "Mingli, let's go together!"
Song Yanzhe was already bouncing around with Song Yanshen: "Hehe! Little Shen, I'll take you to the capital to play! Let me tell you, there are so many fun things to do in the capital! Come with me, we'll ride in Grandma's car!"
Song Yanshen nodded: "Okay."
Song Yanzhe excitedly pulled him forward.
However, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly froze, turned around, and looked at him incredulously.
"Xiao Shen?" He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You, you, you... you can talk?"
His expression was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing his expression, Song Yanshen finally revealed a mischievous smile: "Ahhh—"
He pretended not to know how to speak.
Song Yanzhe: "???"
He looked at Song Yanshen suspiciously: "What do you mean it wasn't you... Something's not right! You were definitely the one who said it just now!"
Song Yanshen blinked: "Really?"
"Of course it is... Ah!!!" Song Yanzhe immediately jumped up, "Xiao Shen, you can really talk now?"
Song Yanshen then revealed a big smile: "Mm!"
"Ah! Dad! Mom! Grandpa! Grandma! Xiao Shen can talk!" Song Yanzhe was so excited he could hardly speak. "Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen... he can talk!"
Song Yanshan, who was walking behind, was also taken aback: "Xiao Shen can talk?"
Song Xingyun was even more surprised: "Wasn't he said to be mute?"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but chuckle: "He's not mute, he just can't speak."
Song Xingyun: "???"
Zheng Wenbi was also full of curiosity: "Chunxue, what's going on?"
Zhang Chunxue explained softly, "He has been a wanderer since he was a child. He doesn't know who he is, and no one has taught him to speak."
"So he always thought he couldn't speak and didn't know how to speak. So for the past six months, I've been teaching him to speak, and slowly, he's learned to speak."
