They said they were leaving, and without wasting any time, the couple quietly left the house early the next morning while the residential compound was still quiet.
She'd been living too comfortably lately. Even after getting in the car, Jian Dan was still yawning half-asleep. But since it was a rare opportunity to go out, she was in good spirits, looking at the vast expanse of white snow without any sign of disdain.
"It's really cold here. I remember that in Liujiatun, there were signs of spring after the New Year, although not obvious, but the snow was a bit sticky."
Look over here, it's pretty much the same as before the New Year, you can even build a snowman.
Qin Qinghuai glanced out the window, but it was Qin Yi, who was driving, who spoke up.
"Sister-in-law, winters here are long, lasting until March or April in the Gregorian calendar. In the Northeast, it gets completely warm by May. Spring here only lasts for one month in May, and summer arrives in June."
Then summer is short, only a little over three months. It starts to get cold in September, and while other places don't start their autumn harvest until October, winter begins here.
"You seem to know quite a lot about this."
"Hehe, sister-in-law, I didn't find out this myself. When I first arrived, Brother Zheng explained all the basics to me, just in case you weren't used to it. But it turned out we didn't need it."
This time, because they were going back to the capital, they kept a low profile. Qin Qinghuai only brought Qin Yi with him. Zheng Aiguo had been injured a few days ago and hadn't fully recovered, so they simply gave him a few days off and sent him to assist Commander Lin.
The person was on the bus right now, but was just driving back from the station. Hearing this, they pursed their lips but didn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Missing that place?"
After a brief thought,
"Not really. To be honest, all I'm thinking about over there is Sister Mingzhu and the others, and then my uncle and aunt. As for how much I'll miss them, it doesn't seem like I'll miss them that much."
As she said this, she realized she was being cold-hearted, and her words became somewhat self-deprecating.
"Heh, isn't that pretty heartless? I've lived here for several years, and you don't even feel no attachment?"
How could that be?
The man reached out and took her hand in his.
"The space in a person's heart is limited, and it can only hold important people and things. You may not think about people and things from the past, but that doesn't mean you have no feelings for them. It just means you may be more at peace with them and they may not be as intense."
Just like the more than ten years you spent in Beijing, it's the same. Although that period is over, it will always remain in your memory. But can you really say that you've forgotten all of that life? When you talk about a certain person or event, you might suddenly remember something, right?
Actually, it's not that you've forgotten many things; it's just that these many things accumulate, and that's what constitutes your real life and experiences.
Qin Qinghuai wasn't very good at persuading people, and even sometimes rambled on, but his voice was deep and smooth, which was something Jian Dan usually liked. Listening to him, she gradually calmed down.
"Are we going to find my brother? Or should we meet up somewhere?"
"I was originally planning to go straight there and see my uncle and aunt, but,"
Qin Qinghuai still felt somewhat guilty. He had intended to take this opportunity to cheer her up, but things didn't go as planned.
"Brother Chao has an urgent mission and is on his way. He's already set off ahead of schedule, so we need to hurry over there and meet up with him."
"Okay, so you're going to the county town to catch the train?"
Jian Dan didn't think much of it. She hadn't been to this county since getting married. She had been cooped up for so long that she really wanted to get some fresh air.
The tickets had been bought in advance. When I arrived at the station, I watched Zheng Aiguo drive away. Before long, it was time to board.
At this time of year, there are not many people going out, and it is also right after the New Year, with everyone starting to prepare for planting, so the train is not very crowded.
Qin Qinghuai and his companion were not dressed, but they stood tall and exuded righteousness. No one came up to cause trouble, and the journey was very peaceful, which made Jian Dan feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Are you hoping something bad will happen?"
Just chuckled.
"I've taken the train several times, and it's never been quiet. I was hoping to see some excitement."
To be honest, when he's being simple and lively, he's still quite childlike.
He and Qin Yi were kindred spirits.
"Sister-in-law, right, right?"
"Let me tell you, when Huai-ge and I came here, we encountered an old lady trying to steal someone else's grandson and then insisting on giving her own filthy granddaughter to him. You wouldn't believe it, but that old lady was also trying to cling to Huai-ge."
Qin Qinghuai looked helplessly at Jian Dan, who was listening with bright eyes, but did not stop her.
Whether it was because Jian Dan suddenly unlocked his "jinx" skill (a term for someone who jinxes others), as the train approached its stop, and everyone was preparing to get off and packing their luggage, Qin Yi also took his large bag down from the luggage rack. A deafening scream echoed through the carriage.
"Oh no! My bag, where's my bag?"
Qin Qinghuai was stunned for a moment, and Qin Yi reflexively looked at Jian Dan, his eyes wide open, and silently said,
"Sister-in-law, is your mouth blessed with good fortune?"
Well, it's still a bit awkward, she just said it casually, she really didn't want anything to happen.
However, the sound wasn't far away, and the three of them could see it clearly without even turning their heads.
The two people over there were already in a panic, and the secretary was completely flustered.
"Section Chief, what should we do? Those blueprints, they're... they can't afford to have anything go wrong with them!"
The man with glasses was also covered in cold sweat, still frantically searching for a seat. Judging from his appearance, if he weren't in the car, he would definitely dig three feet into the ground.
"No way, we weren't sleeping, and the things were always with us, how could they be gone?"
