Chapter 1340: Departure
The next day, Lv Beiguang took the household registration book to the police station after dinner to get the proof of relocation. This is a must-do, and he also needs to go to the street office to get proof. Otherwise, if someone checks along the way, it could be troublesome.
Since the train was in the afternoon, the four of them packed blankets at home. These things have to be taken along, they will need them in the Capital, but they don’t plan to take them to the Northeast, so they will just leave them in the Capital.
"I’ll tidy things up from time to time."
Jing Chu nodded, "You should air out the blankets. I washed them thoroughly before leaving so they don’t smell."
"You don’t need to do it, I can handle the washing myself. I might not do it, but I can hire someone. Don’t worry. I’m here."
"Alright, I’ll leave it to you. Aren’t you coming back with us?"
Chaoyang shook his head, "I can’t leave here unattended. Besides, I see my master doesn’t plan to take care of it; Master Han definitely won’t keep an eye on it this year, so I can’t leave."
"Second Brother, if you don’t go back, my Second Aunt will miss you."
"I’ll discuss it with Master Han, see when he might give me some time off."
Once gathered, it feels like there’s still quite a lot.
"It’s fine, it won’t be long. The three of us can manage it."
Lv Beiguang didn’t return until it was almost lunchtime.
"Dad, why did you take so long?"
"Chatting with people at the street office."
"Is everything done?"
"Yes, all done. Let’s eat; after we finish, the three of us will head out."
"Dad, I’ll come along and watch the luggage at the train station."
"Okay."
After the meal, they cleaned up. All the grains and seasonings were placed on the table. They had already informed She Xiaoyun to come and pick them up in the afternoon; otherwise, with no one at home, there will be rats.
They also needed to take the bicycle. So, they tied a lot of luggage on the bike, and everyone carried some too.
"Dad, there’s nothing much left at home; can I come along too?"
"It’s quite far, I was thinking of letting Guodong come by bike to fetch you."
"It’s okay. Walking is good for me, just slow. You don’t need to wait for me."
Chaoyang frowned and looked at Li Xue, "You should wait at home. It’s not safe on the road. If you want to leave, let Guodong come and walk with you when he comes to get you. Time is tight.
If you come along, we might not be able to take care of you."
Li Xue nodded, "Alright, I’ll wait at home." She felt quite neglected.
Guodong instructed her, "Don’t open the door to anyone; I’ll come back for you soon."
The four of them took half an hour to reach the train station, where Guodong unloaded the bike and went to get Li Xue.
Jing Chu was responsible for watching the luggage, while Chaoyang District bought platform tickets so they could carry the luggage onto the platform. Otherwise, with so much luggage, it would be very troublesome to wait until the train arrived to bring it in.
The main labor force this time was Chaoyang; Lv Beiguang watched the luggage on the platform while he moved them one by one.
The train was at half-past two in the afternoon. Arriving by three would have been great. So there was no rush.
Guodong was relieved only after getting Li Xue, checked the house again, closed all the doors and windows, and then left.
"Guodong, we will definitely come back."
"Yes, we will definitely come back."
The family boarded the train at a quarter past three. There weren’t too many people; the bike was placed at the front of the car, as agreed. The luckiest part was that the luggage could be stored there too, and there was a small room for Lv Beiguang to rest and watch the luggage, which made it a lot easier.
"Brother, go accompany Sister-in-law in the sleeper; I’ll stay outside. Chaoyang is here."
"Alright, come back to sleep at night."
Chaoyang had Jing Chu sit by the window while he stayed beside her.
Even on the train, Jing Chu didn’t take off her mask. It saved her from a lot of trouble. Jing Chu was very good-looking, and she didn’t intend to show off, so she followed Jiang Xinyu’s advice; if she was outside and could wear a mask, she definitely would.
The two each had a newspaper. Chaoyang felt time was peaceful. He hoped his beloved girl would accept him, and that he could accompany her like this forever.
Around five-thirty, neither of them moved. There were more people now, and they were afraid they’d lose their seats if they left. So Guodong brought them food.
"I’ll take food to Dad. Once I’m done eating, I’ll come back and switch with you."
Jing Chu nodded. She didn’t want to eat, covering the meal box to eat later in the sleeper.
Chaoyang also set his aside, waiting until Jing Chu left to eat.
In this way, they arrived in the Capital on the morning of the third day. After getting off, looking at the pile of luggage, "Uncle Lv, I’ll go find a couple of tricycles. This should make it easier for us."
"Alright." Lv Beiguang certainly didn’t mind.
At home, Jiang Xinyu had been preparing since yesterday. Since the day they called, the house had been warmed.
So when Lv Beiguang and the others arrived, there was hot water for a bath and a warm house.
"Xinyu, this house is really nice."
"Yes, it used to belong to capable people from the past."
"It looks so beautiful. If it were summer and full of flowers, it would be even prettier."
"Yes, it’s the first place I bought when I came to the Capital."
"I’ve bought near your house too, not going to the suburbs anymore. But I can’t afford one as big as this."
"I have it."
Lv Beiguang chuckled, shaking his head. "I’ll just buy one house without much money. Once I have money, I’ll buy one for Jing Chu."
"The price of houses will definitely go up. By then, you’ll still not have enough money to buy a house.
No worries, I have it, and no rush to spend. You’ll handle brewing this year; you’ll definitely earn a lot."
"Alright, let’s do that. How are the kids doing?"
"They went out to play. Nowadays they are out all day.
Oh, do you want to rest for a bit?"
"Haha, I’m not that old. It’s fine. Aren’t the kids coming back for lunch?"
"They might come back today; Wei Kaiyun is with them."
Zhao Xiaoli already knows Li Xue is pregnant. She held Li Xue’s hand and explained things to pay attention to.
"Jing Chu, you came back at the right time; there will be lantern displays the night after tomorrow. We can go see them together."
"Are the lanterns here beautiful?"
"I don’t know either, but we’ll find out the day after tomorrow."
Jing Chu looked at Zhao Xiaoli, who now seemed even more brilliant. Clearly, she’s being taken care of very well; her sister-in-law should be like this too.
At noon, Wei Kaiyun indeed brought the kids back. He didn’t know Lv Beiguang and the others would return today; the kids just didn’t want to eat out.
Wei Kaiyun was pleased; the kids are still disciplined. Once they’ve had enough fun, they know being home is best. Yang Run Tai also came back with them.
The first thing he noticed was the beautiful girl holding Shi Xianxiao, realizing she was the girl his little uncle liked.
She was indeed too beautiful. Moreover, her eyes seemed very righteous.
