The day before departure, Lin Jingshu packed her luggage.
At the end of December, it is the coldest time in the north, with temperatures often below zero degrees.
I don’t know if I can adapt after suddenly returning from a warm island.
In order to keep warm, Lin Jingshu specially made a new cotton-padded jacket, the waist circumference of which was two circles larger than before.
Wearing it this way won’t squeeze your stomach.
Gu Chengze also prepared a military coat.
This time they traveled light and sent back the things they brought to her husband's family in Beijing.
There is no rush to bring gifts to her parents' home. Her parents have never been to Beijing, so she plans to bring more Beijing specialties to her family.
The small vegetable garden was cleaned up, all the bamboo poles were pulled out, tied into bundles and placed in the utility room for use next year.
The five chickens in the house were caught and brought to Mrs. Su's house, where she took care of them.
Xiaobai also needs to be sent over.
Ji Xin patted his chest and promised that he would take good care of Xiaobai and wait for her to come back.
Lin Jingshu checked it one last time to make sure nothing was missed.
Seeing that there was an apple left in the cupboard, Lin Jingshu picked it up and just took a bite when Aunt Kang brought Ruirui to the house.
"I heard you guys are going back for the New Year, so Ruirui and I came over to sit with you. I hope it won't bother you."
"No delay."
Lin Jingshu hurriedly greeted the two of them.
"I'll get the stool, just sit down and don't worry."
Seeing that she was pregnant, Aunt Kang hurriedly asked her to sit down.
"Is the child making a fuss?"
"No, she's very well behaved."
She had some roasted melon seeds at home, which she planned to take with her to help pass the time on the train, so she took some out to treat them.
"Aunt, when will you be back?"
Ruirui started thinking about it before the person left.
Lin Jingshu is one of the few people he trusts on the island besides his grandparents, and Ruirui is reluctant to let her go.
"I came back a few days after the Chinese New Year."
Gu Chengze's vacation is only more than half a month, and this is the time allowed by his superiors, otherwise the time would be even shorter.
They spend half of their time on the road, and the time they actually spend at home is very limited.
"Then can I come and play with you when you come back?"
"sure."
Ruirui is smart and sensible, and doesn't look like a naughty child at all. Lin Jingshu also likes being with him.
Afraid that he would be bored at home, Lin Jingshu found some comic books and, after obtaining Aunt Kang's consent, let him go back to cheer himself up.
------
On the day of departure, the weather was sunny and the sea was calm.
Lin Shan bought a ticket for the same day as them, and Fang Yuanyuan reluctantly saw him off.
During the Spring Festival, the soldiers' work is not so stressful and most of the work is patrolling.
The art troupe does not need to perform outside the city.
Fang Yuanyuan originally thought that she could take advantage of this time to get along well with her partner. However, since they confirmed their relationship, they have been busy with work and rarely have time to sit down and talk.
I felt a little regretful when I knew Lin Shan was going home.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Lin Shan would come back and they would be able to meet again then, but his parents who were far away in his hometown could not.
He hasn't been back for many years, and the two elders must miss him very much.
"This is a gift I prepared for my uncle and aunt. It's a token of my appreciation as a young person. Please give them my regards."
Fang Yuanyuan stuffed the things she had prepared into Lin Shan's hands.
Lin Shan's heart seemed to be filled with tears, and he was choked with sobs and unable to speak. In the end, he gave a hug and said goodbye reluctantly at the urging of the staff.
After the ship arrived in Guangzhou, the three of them had lunch, took a short rest, and went directly to the train station.
Lin Shan's train ticket was at 2 p.m., and Lin Jingshu and her husband left an hour earlier than him.
"Brother, we are leaving. Please be careful on the road."
"knew."
Lin Shan waved goodbye to them on the platform.
This time when returning to Beijing, Gu Chengze asked someone to buy a soft sleeper ticket.
Soft sleeper tickets are hard to buy as there are restrictions and they are mainly available to specific people.
Gu Chengze was able to buy two tickets only through his connections.
There are only four beds in the carriage, and separate doors separate the spaces, similar to the soft sleeper compartments on modern green trains.
Lin Jingshu's pregnancy reaction was not very obvious. In fact, her complexion became more rosy and some parts of her body became fuller, making her look like a white dough ball.
Not long after getting on the train, Lin Jingshu fell drowsy to the sound of the train wheels rolling.
"Just sleep, I'm here with you."
Gu Chengze squeezed her hand.
Hearing his voice, Lin Jingshu's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep.
Gu Chengze sat beside her, staring at her intently, carefully tucking the hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear. There had never been a happier moment than this one.
As the sky gradually darkened, the train gradually left Guangdong Province and headed north.
When Lin Jingshu woke up again, she was awakened by hunger and her stomach growled.
She had just woken up and her eyes were still dazed. This was the first time she heard her stomach growling so loudly. Fortunately, there was no one in the carriage, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
"You must be hungry. I'm going to buy some food. You wait here for me."
He was worried about leaving because his wife was still asleep.
"Okay, I want to eat meat."
The little guy in my belly is also a carnivore and can’t live without meat for every meal.
Gu Chengze went quickly and came back with two boxed lunches.
This time they only brought some snacks and no dry food. Although the food on the train is a bit expensive, the quantity is large, and most importantly, there is no need to worry about it going bad.
After staying on the island for a long time without a refrigerator, I was afraid that the food I cooked would go bad.
There were not many people in the soft sleeper car. They stayed on the train for half a day but no one got on. If nothing unexpected happened, no one would get on until the terminal.
Time passed quickly on the train. Four days later, in the morning, the train finally arrived at Beijing Railway Station.
"Third brother, is this the train your second brother and his wife took?"
Zeng Lingshu said, pointing at the train that was getting closer and closer.
Gu Chengli: "Yes, my second brother said it was this one."
The platform was crowded with people waiting to pick up their daughter-in-law, and Gu Chengze carefully protected his wife as she got off the train.
"Second brother."
Gu Chengli stood not far away and waved at them, squeezing through the crowd and finally arriving in front of the two people.
"Brother and sister-in-law, welcome home."
Gu Chengze patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.
"You little brat, you run so fast."
Zeng Lingshu slapped him and disappeared in the blink of an eye, making her think he was lost.
He glanced at him and sent him away to get the luggage.
Zeng Lingshu took Lin Jingshu's arm affectionately and asked with concern: "Are you tired from the journey? Is the child making a fuss?"
"I'm not tired. The child is very well behaved."
Zeng Lingshu placed her hand gently on her abdomen, and suddenly, her stomach moved.
Her eyes suddenly widened, "The baby is moving."
Lin Jingshu smiled and said, "The children are so happy to know that grandma is here to pick them up."
"What a good kid."
Zeng Lingshu realized something was wrong after she finished speaking, "Jingshu, you mean the children? Could it be?"
Lin Jingshu smiled and nodded, "I'm planning to give you a surprise. The doctor said it's twins."
Zeng Lingshu felt so happy that she was about to faint.
