An'an had an exceptionally happy day; her belly was as big as an inflated balloon.
The weather was already hot, so Song Qing quickly gave her a shower.
The child was carefree all day, but when he got to the kang (a heated brick bed) and saw the packed luggage, he remembered that his mother was leaving tomorrow.
An'an silently repeated to herself several times that the teacher had said that each of them was a brave child, and that her mother had a job, so she had to be brave.
She tried to mentally prepare herself for a long time, but in the end, she still broke down in tears.
She is not a brave child.
Since finishing his meal, Lu Yang had been carefully watching his daughter's expression, as if she were a bomb about to explode.
It's finally exploded.
"Mother"
"Okay, okay, stop crying. Didn't you promise Mommy you wouldn't cry?"
She ate too much today, and Song Qing was afraid she would cry too much and throw up.
The mother and daughter bid each other a reluctant farewell on the kang (a heated brick bed). Lu Yang was originally a little reluctant to part with her, but seeing this scene, he found it inexplicably funny. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she was leaving that very night.
An'an was unusually clingy to Song Qing tonight, clinging to her arms and refusing to let go.
Even when Lu Yang tried to reach out and touch her face, he was pushed away without turning his head.
When night fell, Lu Yang thought she was asleep and tried to carry his wife to his side, but found that her hand was tightly clutching Song Qing's clothes.
Seeing that he was being restless, Song Qing grabbed his hand and pinched it.
"She finally fell asleep, don't disturb her!"
Lu Yang lay back down and sighed silently.
These past few days his wife has been monopolized by An'an, and he can understand that she is sad, but he is not sad when his wife is going on a business trip for a month.
The next day, the factory arranged for someone to take the group of technicians to the train station, and their families also came to see them off.
These young women all had very young children, and most of them were separated from their mothers for the first time. The group of them were wailing loudly at the train station.
The women's eyes also reddened; they, too, couldn't bear to part with their children.
In the end, Director Zhang couldn't stand it anymore and, as the train arrived, quickly let them board.
An'an was coaxed by Song Qing before leaving home, and her mother promised to bring her something fun when she came back, but she couldn't resist the atmosphere.
A group of children, taller than thighs, were crying incessantly in the waiting hall. The sound grew louder and louder, almost lifting the roof off the train station.
The children's tears fell one after another, hitting the ground like raindrops.
The scene was so funny that the mothers, who were initially reluctant to leave, gradually blushed when they saw the kind smiles from the people waiting for the bus.
"The car is here, please get in and be careful."
Director Zhang put them on the bus. The children were crying so hard that she could hardly hear them. She had to leave quickly after getting them on the bus, and the other children were left to be comforted by their fathers.
This time, the train journey would take several days, so the factory bought them sleeper berths. Song Qing and Zhao Qin shared a carriage.
Through the glass, they could still see the children on the platform with their mouths open, and the men were almost at a loss, unable to soothe them.
Song Qing and Zhao Qin exchanged a glance and laughed. The others, whose eyes were still red, also started to laugh.
"It's so noisy it's giving me a headache."
"She cries so much. She started crying as soon as she arrived at the train station. It'll give the fathers a headache, otherwise they'll think the child is so easy to take care of."
"Yes, I was quite reluctant to leave at first, but they cried and I couldn't soothe them. I wished the train would leave right away."
The mothers laughed and complained a few times, but still took one last look at them through the glass before the train started moving.
