Chapter 390 The Long-Away Hometown
Soon, the train slowly came to a stop at the familiar Fengyang County Railway Station.
The two children looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, their eyes sparkling. They nestled in Xu Sui's arms and asked, "Mommy, are we here? Is this our old home?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui and Qin Yuanzhou subconsciously looked out the car window, paused slightly, and nodded in response.
"This is the place, Fengyang County."
"We've finally arrived."
This place looks familiar yet feels somewhat strange.
The couple were deeply moved.
Grandma Qin was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears. She quickly picked up her big bundle and tried to get off the train before it had even come to a complete stop.
"We're here, we're here, we've finally arrived."
Xu Sui quickly pulled her back, "Grandma, wait a little longer, the train hasn't stopped yet."
"We'll get off the bus once it has come to a complete stop."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, look at my memory! I should have waited until the car had come to a complete stop before getting off."
Sure enough, I'm getting old and useless; I can't even remember this.
Xu Sui smiled and pulled the person back to sit down.
The whole family didn't get off the train until it came to a complete stop, following the flow of people.
The people at the train station were worried that they would be jostled by the crowd, so they specially arranged for several train attendants to escort them.
Of course, the main task was to escort Xu Sui, and the railway station systems across the country are basically interconnected.
It's all thanks to the special contact made by the Lanshan County Railway Station.
The flight attendants were extremely polite and always smiling.
"Engineer Xu, we even arranged a car for you at the train station to take you home. Next time you want to go back, give us a call in advance and we will send a car to pick you up."
Xu Sui was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a surprise. She exchanged a glance with Qin Yunzhou, and then smiled politely at the flight attendants.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's alright, no trouble at all."
When Grandma Qin heard that a special car was coming to pick them up, her eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh.
"That's great, thank you so much for being a flight attendant."
Taking a car back to her hometown would be so impressive and prestigious; her neighbors and old friends would probably be incredibly envious.
However, she is no longer the ordinary old lady she used to be. She is an old lady who has lived in a big city like the capital for many years and has also spent a lot of time in the army.
In the entire Fengyang County, you probably couldn't find another old woman with her insight.
Now that she's back, she'll have plenty to talk about; she'll have to have a good chat with those people.
The flight attendants waved their hands with smiles, "It's nothing, no trouble at all, it's what we should do."
In this day and age, highly skilled technical personnel are more important than anything else and must be protected. The treatment they deserve should not be neglected.
With the help of several flight attendants, Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou didn't need to carry much luggage or put in much effort; they just needed to get into their jeep.
Because there were many people in their family, one jeep wasn't enough, so the train station sent an extra one.
As soon as he got into the car, Qin Yunzhou noticed that the two jeeps were the same model as those in the military.
However, this model is slightly outdated, but it is still a rare find on the market.
He sat in the back seat with his two children in his arms, carefully observed the other person's jeep, and then casually started chatting with the attendant driving the front, trying to extract information from him.
Once they had gotten to know each other well and were having a lively conversation, Qin Yunzhou suddenly changed the subject and said something unexpected.
"Your car is nice, where did you get it?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui also began to secretly observe the jeep.
As far as she knew, Qin Yunzhou wasn't the type to make small talk. If he started chatting enthusiastically with someone he didn't know well, it was definitely because he wanted to find out something from them.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, he noticed something was amiss. The jeep they were in was the same model as the ones used in the military, only slightly older.
Even if it's a bit old, it's not something that just anyone can get their hands on.
Qin Yunzhou used his skills as a political commissar to extract information from the two flight attendants, quickly finding out the origin of the jeep.
It turns out that this jeep really did come from the military, but it was a retired vehicle. Plus, the train station had some connections with the military, so they bought the jeep at a second-hand price.
This is considered a legitimate channel.
……
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Fengyang County Textile Factory.
Wang Yinhua had just returned from get off work, carrying a piece of meat with her. She was humming a little tune happily on her way home, enjoying herself immensely.
I'm planning to make dumplings today to treat myself.
No matter how old you are, you still have to be good to yourself. If you don't treat yourself well, how can you expect others to treat you well?
Although she is still working alone to support her family and her life is not wealthy, it is much better than before.
Our daughter is successful and doesn't need financial support from us as parents; in fact, we often give her financial assistance ourselves.
The youngest son, Xu Fei, worked hard and was admitted to a military medical university last year, due to the special nature of this university.
All tuition, living expenses, and various miscellaneous fees were paid by the military, and there was also a monthly subsidy of 20 yuan.
They no longer need to spend a single penny of their family's money; on the contrary, they receive money every month.
The only thing that bothered her was her eldest son.
All these years, he has no skills whatsoever, and still relies on his mother to support him.
Over the years, Wang Yinhua has not only raised her son, but also her grandson.
At first, she complained that her eldest son was not ambitious enough, but then she thought that it was good enough that he didn't cause her any trouble.
Give him some pocket money and food every month, and you can treat it like having a nanny.
He Quan usually does all the dirty and tiring work at home, including laundry and cooking.
The neighbors all advised Wang Yinhua to find He Quan another wife. They said that if he had a wife and a stable home, he would be able to stand on his own two feet.
Wang Yinhua had no such intention at all; she waved her hand and refused outright.
"It's his business if he wants to get married. As long as he has the ability, I will not stop him. But if he wants to take a single penny out of my pocket, then there is absolutely no room for negotiation."
That's just her personality; once she's been heartbroken, she'll never look back.
Moreover, she no longer trusts He Quan.
As the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots. Who knows if this son will betray his mother's good intentions again, just like before?
I ran into Tianhua on my way home from get off work.
The two women couldn't help but chat when they got together, and as they talked, they started thinking about the young couple thousands of miles away.
