Xiaobai couldn't go home with her, so Lin Jingshu found a good place for it.
"Zhuhua, I'll leave Xiaobai to you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely raise you to be plump and white."
After Chen Zhuhua married Xiao Chen last year, they did not move into the family compound and still live in her parents' home.
The Chen family has a dog, so it would be most appropriate for her to take care of Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai, remember to be obedient and wait for me to come back and take you home."
Lin Jingshu rubbed Xiaobai's head, and An An Ningning said goodbye to Xiaobai with tears in her eyes.
Xiaobai has been with the two children for five years, and this is the first time they have been separated for such a long time.
Ningning sniffed, "Mom, remember to bring Xiaobai back when we come back."
Many families in the compound don't want to keep dogs, so they take them out and abandon them. Ningning was very sad when she heard about it. The dogs are obviously their friends, so why should they be thrown away?
She was afraid that Xiaobai would be thrown away too, so she reminded her mother even after getting on the train.
Lin Jingshu was not impatient at all and promised solemnly that she would bring Xiaobai home. Only then did the little girl burst into laughter.
Zhuangzhuang came over with his favorite mung bean cake, "Sister, have some cake."
The little guy inherited the Lin family's love of food and is very open-minded. There is nothing that a delicious meal can't solve.
Lin Jingshu wiped her daughter's face with a handkerchief and then wiped her hands clean.
"Okay, let's go eat some mung bean cakes."
Ningning took the mung bean cake from her brother and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome."
An An, the warm-hearted boy, was afraid that they would choke, so he brought some small cups with him and filled them with water to cool them down.
Several children in the family have small army green cups. An An likes it the most and takes it with him wherever he goes.
This is not a problem for children, so Lin Jingshu did not correct them excessively.
The family returned home, and Gu Chengze also bought a ticket for Aunt Liu to return to Beijing.
As she gets older, Aunt Liu is less able to do things, and it is Lin Jingshu who is usually responsible for buying groceries for the family.
Aunt Liu's job was to boil water occasionally, but she felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so she left using the excuse that she was too old.
After being together for so long, Lin Jingshu and Gu Chengze had long regarded her as their own elder and didn't care at all whether she could work or not.
Aunt Liu has made up her mind to leave, and she has children in Beijing to take care of her, so they have no reason to stop her.
This time, in addition to going back to Nanshi, I will also go back to Jingshi.
The children have grown up but have never returned to Beijing. Grandpa Gu has mentioned this many times.
The train arrived at Nanshi Railway Station on the morning of the third day.
The children who were full of energy when they got on the bus now looked like wilted eggplants, sleeping soundly on their mother's body.
Gu Chengze and Lin Shan carried their luggage, while the three women in the family held their children.
The train station was crowded with people, and the two men stood in front and behind to protect them.
Ningning rubbed her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment with her mouth open in surprise, "Mom, are we home yet?"
Lin Jingshu smiled gently, "It's almost there. We still have to take a while longer to get home."
Ningning drooped her head and became listless again when she heard that they were going to take a bus.
Bored, he saw his father behind him, waving his little hands and playing with him.
Gu Chengze paid attention to the people around him to prevent his wife and daughter from being squeezed, while coaxing his daughter to play.
Lin Jingshu noticed that her daughter was not behaving well, so she gently patted her plump little butt.
"Dad is carrying the luggage, don't bother him."
Ningning immediately leaned on his shoulder and lay obediently.
-
"I don't know if we're too late."
Lin Yongkang and Lin Mu calculated the time to pick someone up, but unexpectedly the tractor ran out of gas on the road. Fortunately, they were almost in the city, so they filled up the gas and quickly rushed to the train station.
There were so many people exiting the station that two people couldn't even squeeze in.
"Dad, Lin Mu!"
Lin Shan, who was walking in front, saw them first and walked over with his family.
"Mom, eldest brother, sister-in-law, little sister-in-law."
Lin Mu grinned at his family, "Thank goodness I'm not late."
Ningning turned her head, and Lin Mu looked at his little niece and said in a hoarse voice, "This is Ningning, right? I'm your second uncle."
Second uncle?
Ningning looked at him curiously.
"Ningning's favorite doll was bought by her second uncle." Lin Jingshu echoed.
Ningning's eyes lit up, and she called out obediently, "Hello, Second Uncle. Ningning likes dolls."
Lin Mu looked at him with envy, "Second uncle, can you hold Ningning?"
"Okay~"
Lin Mu was holding his niece, who was so beautiful that he couldn't express it in words. He didn't show any favoritism towards his nephew and niece, and touched their heads one by one.
Lin Yongkang couldn't help but feel his eyes welling up when he saw the children coming back.
"Dad, we should be happy that we are back. Stop crying."
Lin Jingshu hugged her old father's arm like a child, just like when she was a child.
Lin Yongkang wiped his eyes and said, "I didn't cry, there was sand in my eyes."
A few people smiled at each other and did not expose the truth.
The journey still took half an hour, and the adults were worried that the children were hungry, so they went to a state-owned restaurant to have breakfast before deciding to go home.
After dinner, the children regained their spirits and turned their heads back and forth to observe the surrounding situation.
The architectural styles and vegetation of Nanshi and Guangshi are completely different, and the weather in July is much cooler than that of Guangshi.
It was the first time for the children to ride a tractor and they lay on the side of the truck bed to look out.
Afraid of the bumpy road, Lin Yongkang drove at a snail's pace and it took him more than an hour to get home.
"Mom, is this our home?"
An An pointed to the house not far away and said.
"Yes, that's where my mother lived since she was a child."
Lin Shan looked at the river not far away and thought to himself, "When we were little, we loved catching snails and fishing in the river."
"That's easy. Let's go home and get the nets later. It rained a few days ago, and a lot of fish have washed down from upstream."
After finishing his studies, Lin Mu looked much calmer, but in fact he was still a child at heart, especially in the mountain village where he was raised, where he felt a strong sense of belonging.
"I want to go too!"
"I want one too!"
"I also!"
When the children heard that they could go into the water, they rushed to raise their hands to join in.
Ding Xiangzhi pinched his son and told him to go to the river to catch fish in front of the children.
Lin Mu felt pain, so we all went together. He didn't say that on purpose.
When Lin Yongkang and Lin Mu went out in the morning, they met people from the village. Everyone knew that Lin Jingshu and Lin Shan had returned with their family.
After dinner, they had nothing to do, so they all waited at the village entrance with melon seeds in their hands.
In recent years, the brigade has been developing better and better. People no longer have to focus on earning money by work points, and they don't have to worry about others gossiping when they are idle.
Working or something like that is not as important as eating melons.
When people heard that Lin Jingshu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, they were envious.
How could she have such a good life, becoming an official's wife and having a pair of children? Everyone wants to see what she looks like now.
"Here he comes, the captain is back."
As soon as the tractor entered the village, a group of people at the entrance stood up and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance.
Lin Jingshu had been looking at the dark crowd for a long time, with a frown on her forehead. Could these people be here to see them?
"Xiangzhi is back."
Ding Xiangzhi responded with a smile, "I'm back. The children are on vacation, so we came back to visit."
An An Ningning poked out her little head, and everyone's eyes lit up.
