The soft sleeper car was quiet, and everyone ate, drank, and slept on the way, so time passed quickly.
The next afternoon, a group of people got off the train in Hama City.
Outside the train, there was ice and snow, a vast expanse of white.
Although Tang's mother had wrapped the children up like dumplings, they still couldn't help but shrink their necks.
"Mom, Mom, there's so much snow!"
Only a pair of big black eyes were exposed on Xiaolie's body. Because the scarf was wrapped around his mouth and nose, the little guy spoke in a muffled voice.
"Cover your mouths and don't talk!" Tang's mother, full of life experience, hurriedly stopped them. "This is your first time here and you're not used to it yet. If you breathe in the cold air, you'll have stomach problems when you go back."
It’s really cold in Heilongjiang Province!
Thinking of the two-hour bus ride to get to town, Lan Guoer couldn't help but frown! Before she even got on the bus, her stomach was already churning. She had already developed a shadow over riding buses of this era.
Mr. Sanye put on a black down jacket over his Mao Ni coat. He put his top hat on his head and turned his head to look around at the environment.
"Where do we go next?"
"The bus station is not far from the exit," Old Man Tang said, pointing in a direction. "Let's go there first and catch a bus. We'll be in town in two hours."
Old Man Tang was familiar with life here and didn't find it inconvenient at all.
The Third Master glanced at Lan Guoer, then looked at the three groups of people surrounding her legs, his brows furrowed.
The young men and women of the Lan family had never suffered such hardships! Even in the poor conditions of the past few years, they had never squeezed into a large bus!
"Why take a bus?"
Lu Jun, carrying a lot of bags, squeezed in front of the group and said, "Guo'er, go to the state-owned restaurant across from the station to eat something. I'll find a car and take you back later."
Tang Zhan carried all the hard work on his shoulders and carried the things in his hands. When he heard Lu Jun's arrangements, he felt relieved!
He still vividly remembered how uncomfortable his wife looked when she took the bus, but he also knew that it was not easy to find a car these days.
"Will it be too much trouble?"
"Hasn't it been enough for me to bother you?"
Lu Jun sniffed in the cold, and happily led everyone out.
"My family should have sent someone to pick us up, but there's no way all of us could fit into one car. I have to find another! If Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang weren't so anxious to get home, my parents would have wanted me to take you home to meet us and have a meal."
In the letters Lu Jun sent home, he often mentioned the care given to him by the Su and Tang families. Lu's father and mother were naturally grateful to the two families.
When they found out their son had been admitted to university, they were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws! They even suspected that their son was talking nonsense!
Although Lu Jun is a cunning man, his academic performance has never been outstanding since childhood, and can only be described as average.
Who would have thought that this time he would be admitted to high school and then to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Later, it was learned that Lan Guoer had predicted that the college entrance examination would be resumed and had prepared study materials for them in advance. In addition, Su Xing, their study partner, urged and assisted them, which led to this result.
How could Mr. and Mrs. Lu not know that their son had benefited from someone else's help? They planned to go to Kyoto that day to personally express their gratitude to the Su and Tang families.
However, there is no coincidence in the world.
At this time, a good friend of Lu's father happened to come to visit from Kyoto. When Lu's father and mother invited him to dinner together, the other party inadvertently mentioned the Su family in Kyoto.
After a detailed discussion, they realized that the Su family their son had met was the same Su family that belonged to General Su...
The two were shocked again!
I think that my son is really a fool with good fortune!
It is precisely because of this that, in order to avoid suspicion, they are reluctant to visit rashly.
I had no choice but to tell my son that if he had the chance, he should invite them to dinner at home so that they could express their gratitude.
But along the way, Lu Jun had already seen that Tang's mother was eager to go home, so there was no way he could delay them any longer.
When everyone walked out of the station, they saw a jeep parked on the side of the road.
Seeing Lu Jun in the crowd, the driver got out of the car and walked up to him, taking the luggage from his hand neatly.
Lu Jun pointed to the doorplate of the state-owned hotel and told Lan Guoer and the others to wait for him inside, then got in the car and left.
The children were also hungry, so Lan Guoer took the family into a state-owned restaurant.
There was a fireplace in the restaurant, which made it quite warm. More than a dozen tables were occupied.
Everyone in their family was well-dressed, the men were tall and the women were pretty, especially the three chubby, fair-skinned little girls who instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Wen Guoer? Aunt Tang!"
At this time, a female comrade stood up, walked towards them, and said,
"It really is you? I thought I was seeing things! Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, you guys are really getting more and more energetic!"
As she spoke, she pointed to her own table, where another female comrade was sitting, and said, "We've finished eating, you can sit at our table!"
After not seeing each other for two years, Lan Guoer recognized the other person at a glance. It was Han Qing, an educated youth from Xiachuan Village. Her deskmate was also an educated youth from Xiachuan Village, Meng Yu.
The reason why Lan Guoer was so impressed by this educated young man named Han started with the incident with Sun Qian.
When Sun Qian was raped by the stupid son of the old Ge family, it was this seemingly delicate Han Zhiqing who was unwilling to let Sun Qian be plotted against. He quietly collected evidence and ran to report to the police, and finally rescued Sun Qian from the old Ge family.
I heard that she and Sun Qian are cousins, but I don’t know if she knows Sun Qian’s current whereabouts.
"Oh! It's Han Zhiqing!"
Tang's mother came forward, patted Han Qing's hand warmly, and said,
"This Bin City is really small. We haven't even reached our doorstep yet, and we've already run into someone we know! It's so cold, why did you two girls come to the city?"
"Auntie, Meng Yu and I have both been admitted to university and are about to return to the city! We came here today specifically to buy train tickets."
Han Qing has changed from her previous cold and aloof self, and now appears cheerful and bright! She perfectly portrays the joy of being in high spirits when something good happens.
"Oh! This is really great news. Now that you are college students, don't forget our poor mountain village in the future. Remember to come back often when you have nothing to do."
"See what you said, we will definitely come back often!"
Han Qing turned her gaze towards the children around Lan Guoer, her face filled with disbelief.
"These... these are all your children?"
Lan Guoer stroked the children's heads lovingly, "Yes, they are triplets."
"Oh my god!" It was the first time Han Qing saw triplets. She stared at the three little balls with wide eyes, as if trying to identify the differences between them.
"These two boys look so much alike, like they were carved from the same mold!"
Lan Guoer smiled in response.
The two sons have very different personalities. Perhaps because she has been seeing them for so long, she doesn't think they look that much alike.
