The journey from Kyoto to Chuzhou was more than a thousand kilometers. In early April, Bi Yue set off again with her two children, ignoring the nagging of her parents' and in-laws.
But this time the meaning of leaving is different.
Before she left, she mailed four large sacks of daily necessities to Bi Cheng in Nanjing, not including what Bi Cheng had brought her before.
Bi Yue thought this time would go smoothly as usual. After all, her two little ones were already well-equipped, with food, water, playtime, and sleep, ready to go anywhere. They were quite knowledgeable. But then something unexpected happened.
As soon as the car got to Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan, Xiaoxi started looking for someone: "Mom, where is grandma?"
Bi Yue took the biscuit bag from the child and started eating it, mumbling:
"Grandma is at home, let's go find Dad."
"Oh." Xiaoxi tugged at the yellow sweater shawl unhappily, then boredly pulled off her top hat, revealing her short hair, and began to fiddle with the hat.
Bi Yue ate the biscuits while glancing at her daughter, chewing them with a crunching sound, not daring to bother the little adult.
She also glanced at her son.
The little dragon was sitting quietly in the back seat, with a mushroom-shaped haircut, a white shirt, a gray sweater jacket, jeans, and large sunglasses stuck on his nose. He turned his head to look out the window with a stern look. He must have been quite satisfied with what he saw, as his two short legs were swaying back and forth.
Xiaoxi fiddled with her hat for a while, then leaned over to the little dragon man's ear and interrupted him, "Brother, don't you miss grandma?"
Bi Yue stopped eating the biscuits and stared at the two children with wide eyes.
The little dragon man remembered it after his sister reminded him.
The adorable two-year-old and two-month-old baby took off his sunglasses and asked, "Mom, where are grandma and my wife?"
Madam refers to Old Madam Chu.
Bi Yue cleared her throat and said, "Didn't we agree on this? There will be no grandma, grandpa, or great-grandma this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the red Jeep was immediately filled with the high and low pitches of heartbreaking crying, and the two children were nagging Bi Yue for their grandma.
The driver, Xiao Ding, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his forehead sweating from the crying of the two cute kids behind him. "Mr. Bi?"
"Don't mind them. Drive yours."
The kids understood. It was over, there was no hope:
"Ah! Mom is bad!" Xiaoxi swung her fist at Bi Yue.
"I miss my grandma!" The little dragon kicked Bi Yue.
The two children who were dressed so cutely just now were suddenly covered in snot and tears.
In other words, Bi Yue was constantly tormented by the children on the way from Hebei to Shandong. They were pooping, peeing, crying, and yelling. The car ride was boring, and some of them were fussy about sleeping, and when they did, they would keep asking for their grandma.
Bi Yue coaxed the children until her throat was hoarse. In short, she played both the good cop and the bad cop, using all her tricks, just to make the children quiet down.
What annoyed her the most was that when the children woke up from their nap, there was no need to coax them. The driver went down to buy a Texas Braised Chicken. The two children squeezed in the middle, stretched their heads out to pull Xiao Ding's arm, and spoke very sweetly, saying a lot of things:
Little Dragon: "Uncle, does it smell good?"
Xiaoxi said with a shy face: "Uncle, let us try it."
...Unexpectedly, the situation in Shandong Province is good. From this moment on, the two babies really stopped making noise.
Passing the Yellow River Bridge, driver Xiao Ding explained to Bi Yue, "Mr. Bi, this bridge has the largest span in Asia."
Bi Yue also lowered the car window and looked carefully: "It's a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge."
"Yes, Mr. Bi. This bridge is 2,023 meters long and was completed and opened to traffic in July 1982. It looks so spectacular. It's a shame our company doesn't have a bridge construction department. I even saw the bridge design drawings from Vice President Tang. He said he drew them for himself."
Bi Yue smiled and nodded.
In the past year, there have always been people, both in the company and outside, who have been suggesting to her, in words and deeds, that she should adopt a group model, and they want her to participate in everything. It seems that even outsiders think it is a pity that she only works in the hotel business.
But she really didn't think so. She had a different definition of success in her mind.
He took the two children in his arms and pointed them out:
"Come, count for mommy, how many lanes are there? Isn't this bridge beautiful? My auntie built the bridge."
"aunt?"
"Yes, isn't my aunt awesome?"
Xiaoxi raised her orchid finger to pinch the banana, biting it in small bites, and mumbled, "Mom is the best."
On the first night, Bi Yue, the driver, and the children checked into a hotel near Baotu Spring. It was April, and she was hugging her two children, a hot water bottle, and answering Chu Yifeng's call on her cell phone. She could still say heartlessly:
"I'll skip this day tomorrow. Why? Is that even a question? I haven't even visited Daming Lake and Baotu Spring yet."
Chu Yifeng on the other end of the phone was very worried.
The mother-in-law and father-in-law did not come with him this time. He, like his daughter and son, also missed them. He could not refuse under orders. Bi Yue was stubborn and would not listen to advice. After thinking for a while, he gave in and said:
"That's fine. We're passing by, so it's good to take a stroll. But wife, you have to keep an eye on the children. Don't just focus on taking pictures. We have two children, don't lose one."
"Chu Yifeng, I'm their biological mother. Let's stop talking. This hotel is so cold, my arms are freezing, and I didn't even give them a bath."
The phone rang again just after I hung up, and Chu Yifeng grumbled again, "Watch out! Don't miss your eyes when you're brushing your teeth and washing your face. That hotel has a roach trap. I almost caught one last time at the Kyoto Hotel."
"Last time? How long ago was that? You're such an annoying person. Look, the battery is almost out of power, and I haven't called my mom yet."
