Chapter 169 Chapter 169 Back to my hometown.
January 18th was a Monday.
It wasn't snowing outside, but there was a lot of snow on the road. The Mu family's yard was cleaned very cleanly. Everyone in the family was capable and hardworking.
There were a few ugly snowmen piled in the corner of the yard. They were the masterpieces of three little kids and Mu Zhuo.
He is in his thirties, and when he is not in a good mood, he is not much older than Xiao Beibei. He built a very tall one yesterday, which was as high as an adult.
Not only is it tall, but it's also incredibly ugly, with branches sticking out of nowhere on its head to serve as facial features.
If you look at it when the light is not so bright, it is really a little scary.
Like right now.
It was 6:30 in the morning, and it was just getting light outside. In winter, the sun rises late, usually around 7:30.
Comrade Mu Fugui heard someone walking outside, so he sat up and planned to go to the toilet.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he was suddenly frightened. From his angle, it seemed like there was someone standing in the corner. The old man let out a loud "Hey".
Mu Zhuo just came out of the toilet at this time. He laughed wildly, "Hahahahaha, Dad, when did you become so timid? If you don't know, you would think it's someone's wife whose voice changed."
Mu Fugui wrapped up his coat and said in a disdainful tone, "Get lost! I'll take it off your coat in a minute!"
Mu Zhuo ran away immediately after complaining, "Lift it, lift it, lift it, whatever you want, I just want to lie down for a while anyway."
The train ticket back home is for this afternoon. Wen Zhan and Mu Zhuo both took a day off today. They did not return to the base last night and planned to send everyone to the train station in the afternoon. Two cars are just enough.
At this moment, Wen Chen was still sleeping in the room with his wife in his arms. Mu Mian heard some noises from the father and son. She moved her hands and feet and asked Wen Chen in a confused voice, "What time is it?"
Wen Chen didn't check the clock, but just estimated casually, "It's about six o'clock, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Mu Mian yawned, "Then sleep for another two hours."
She didn't even open her eyes, and used her hands and feet to hug her fourth brother, her arms around his shoulders and her legs resting on Wen Zhan's legs.
That posture was like hugging a big pillow, and I fell asleep again in a few seconds. It is really comfortable to hug a big heater in winter.
When Mu Mian woke up again, the big heater in his arms had turned into a small heater. Xinxin had woken up, but did not get up. She crawled out of the small bed and snuggled into Mu Mian's arms, counting her hair for fun.
Mu Mian hugged his daughter tightly, "When did you wake up?"
The child's body was not only warm but also fragrant and soft. It was very comfortable to hold him in arms, so Mu Mian moved him over.
Xinxin, who was tickled, giggled several times, "I just woke up, mommy has been snoring for a long time, I couldn't wake her up~"
Mu Mian didn't blush or feel nervous, and just started talking nonsense, "Mom was busy at night, so I went to bed too late."
As for what she is busy with, you have to ask the child’s father.
It's almost a month since we last met, and some of the men are working hard at night, as if they want to make up for the upcoming month's reserves.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. The mother and daughter had just said a few words when the door was pushed open and Wen Zhan came in from outside. Some of these men's wife-hunting radar has never failed.
Xinxin poked her head out from her mother's arms, like a kitten, "Dad~"
Wen Chen picked up his daughter's jacket and asked, "Do you want to get up?"
Xinxin nodded, "Well, get up~"
Wen Chen pulled his daughter out from under the quilt and tucked it in tightly.
After putting on her cotton coat and trousers, Xinxin sat on a small stool to put on her shoes. Although she was little, she was quite capable of taking care of herself and could put on her shoes by herself very early.
Cotton boots are not very comfortable to wear in winter, but the little girl is very strong, just like her mother when she was a child.
As for what he will be like when he grows up, we will have to wait and see.
By the bed, Wen Chen also picked up his wife's jacket.
The couple looked at each other, and Mu Mian imitated Xinxin's example and stretched out his arms from under the quilt, looking lazy and not wanting to move.
Wen Zhan laughed, reached out and pulled the person out, and after taking care of the younger one, he immediately started to serve the older one, doing it very skillfully.
After putting on her shoes, Xinxin saw her parents dawdling and looking clingy. She looked at this and that with her big eyes, then sighed like a little adult, opened the door and went out first.
In the bedroom, after helping his daughter-in-law put on her coat, Wen Chen put one arm around her and moved his other hand down to her slender waist. He pressed it with his big hand and asked softly, "Is it still sore?"
Some gay men also realized that they had gone a little too far last night.
Mu Mian leaned lazily on the broad shoulder, "It's not sore anymore, um... a little to the left."
While the couple was getting frivolous, in the yard, Liu Shuangcui picked up her granddaughter and planned to take her to wash up. She asked, "Your mother hasn't woken up yet? The sun is shining on her butt."
Xinxin said obediently, "Wake up, Daddy is dressing Mommy, he will be out soon~"
Liu Shuangcui: “………………”
She just asked this question unnecessarily.
The couple took more than ten minutes to come out of the house. Their train ticket was for three o'clock in the afternoon. They packed up their things in the morning and did not cook at noon.
A family nearby quietly opened a private restaurant. We bought all the food for lunch from the restaurant, and it was quite expensive.
But the taste is very good, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to stay open for half a year.
It was almost half past twelve when the old lady started to urge us, "It's almost time to go."
Xixi was the first to respond, "Let's go, let's go early, or we'll miss the bus."
The little girl's anticipation for returning to the team was visibly evident.
Mu Mian: "It's still in time."
Having said that, the old lady urged them and they all started to move.
Ten minutes later, a group of people, big and small, got on two jeeps. Although Nie Sihui did not go back, she followed them and only left Eleven at home. He would go to the staff quarters with Nie Sihui when the time came.
The dog barked twice at the entrance of Station 11. Mu Mian moved his head before getting on the bus and said, "Take good care of the house. My sister-in-law and the others will be back soon."
Eleven barked twice and returned to the yard. Mu Mian closed the door and locked it.
There is no need to worry at home, as all the valuables have been put away. Especially valuable things, such as yellow croaker, have already been taken to the staff quarters by Wen Zhan.
I have also asked the neighbors to help keep an eye on it. Although this courtyard house has its own entrance and exit, there are neighbors on both sides.
There is a public security bureau nearby, so the security in this area is relatively good.
It took more than an hour to get from Anfeng Hutong to the train station. When the jeep stopped near the train station, it was around two o'clock.
It was winter break for college students and the waiting hall was full of people.
At half past two, the train that Mu Mian and her group were traveling on began checking tickets. Wen Chan and the other two bought platform tickets and then escorted everyone onto the train.
Except for Xinxin and Beibei, two little kids who didn't need to buy tickets, they had to buy seven tickets each time. They directly occupied a small compartment, and the other one was next to it, so they were all taken care of.
In the car, Wen Zhan and Mu Zhuo were busy stuffing the luggage everywhere. The lower bunk was full, and there were a few more on the luggage rack. There were a lot of big and small bags.
There was still some time before they could leave the car, so the three of them were in no hurry to get out. Mu Zhuo patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and said, "Be smart on the road."
Liu Yan stood about the same height as Mu Zhuo. The young man puffed out his chest and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I'm reliable."
Next to her, Nie Sihui was also reminding Xixi, "Finish your homework before you play. Don't come back and find that half of it is left. If you do that, I will really beat you up."
Xixi vowed, "Remember this, I'll write it down in a moment, and I'll write it down quickly when I get home."
Never give her mother the chance to beat her!
Mu Mian and Wen Chen were sitting on another bed. While everyone was chatting, she quietly moved closer and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, do you have any instructions for me?"
Wen Chen said in a serious tone, "Yes, just don't be so happy that you forget you have a husband far away."
Mu Mian laughed out loud, "I can't forget it. I think about it eight hundred times a day."
After a while,
The attendant started shouting, asking the family members who were seeing the guests off to get off the bus.
Xiao Beibei was fine before and was having a lot of fun in the car. However, after seeing his parents get off the car, the little boy realized that he was reluctant to leave. Of course, the person he was reluctant to leave was mainly Nie Sihui.
The little boy cried and wanted to chase, "Wuuuu wuuuu wah wah mommy, don't go~ don't go~"
The three-year-old boy was very energetic. Liu Shuangcui almost couldn't hold him. "The car is about to start. Your mother has to get off."
Little Beibei didn't listen and howled loudly. Xixi, who was already lying on the small table preparing to do her homework, got annoyed. She picked up her brother and walked out, "Then you and your parents stay here, we will go back to the team by ourselves."
Upon hearing this, the little boy shut his mouth immediately, flipped over and jumped out of his sister's hands, ran back to the small compartment in three or two steps, and nestled obediently in Liu Shuangcui's arms, as quiet as a chicken, as if he was afraid that everyone would go to play somewhere far away without him.
This smooth operation made the adults laugh.
Nie Sihui standing outside the window: “………………”
The words to coax her son were on the tip of her tongue, but Nie Sihui swallowed them back silently.
Mu Zhuo sighed loudly, "What a brat."
The train left on time, regardless of whether the people on and off the train had anything to say.
Mu Mian held Xinxin in his arms and leaned against the window and waved. Soon, the three people on the platform disappeared.
It is much farther from the capital to the provincial capital Lingfeng City than from Ningzhang to the capital. In addition to half a day today, I will have to spend another day in the car tomorrow.
With so many people, big and small, together, chatting and playing, time passes quickly.
The journey was relatively smooth. Except for the lack of hot water supply, the train had no other problems.
Xixi did her homework all the way. The winter vacation homework was no less than the summer vacation homework. The little girl learned from the last lesson and dared not leave it to the last few days.
A day and a half passed in a blink of an eye. At 9:30 in the morning on the 20th, the train slowly pulled into Lingfeng Station after being delayed for an hour and a half.
Mu Fugui was the first to stand up and stamp his feet, "We're finally here. My butt is almost stiff from sitting there."
Xinxin and Beibei looked outside curiously; it was the first time for both of them to come here.
Mu Mian took out clothes and gave each of the two little ones one piece of clothing. The winter in the provincial capital is colder than in the capital, so the two little ones were wrapped up like a ball.
When we arrived at this station, there were not so many people in the carriage.
After the car stopped, a group of people, some carrying luggage and some holding children, quickly got off the car following the crowd.
There were many family members waiting at the exit to pick up their loved ones.
Mu Fugui poked his head out and looked around, "Where are the fourth brother and the others?"
I had mentioned on the phone before that Mu Xingwang and Mu Xinglong would come to the station to pick us up, but, in the winter, everyone was wrapped up like a bear outside, so it was a little difficult to recognize people.
After walking a few steps forward, Mu Mian, holding Xinxin in her arms, saw her fourth uncle and others first.
Not only her fourth uncle and younger uncle, but also Xiang Xuewu, Xu Lele, and Shi Xiaozhu were standing next to them.
Mu Mian was about to wave when Xu Lele suddenly ran over and shouted, "Sister Mian Mian!"
Mu Mian held Xin Xin in his arms and took two quick steps, "Le Le!"
She really didn't expect Lele to come.
A few seconds later, Xu Lele danced with joy and hugged Mu Mian, "Sister Mian Mian, you are finally back. I missed you so much. I thought you would arrive at eight o'clock, but this train is late again!"
Mu Mian hugged back with one hand, "You guys have been waiting outside?"
Xu Lele opened his mouth but didn't say anything yet.
Xinxin was squeezed between the two of them and her hat slipped down, covering her eyes, but she couldn't reach out to pull it away.
The little girl tried to look up, "Mom, it seems a little crowded~"
