Another thing is to say hello to the father and son of the Ji family, and ask them if they want to buy anything or bring anything to them.

From their previous conversation, Gu Qinghuan could tell that their accents also indicated that they were from Beijing.

Gu Qinghuan also brought the two of them a few pounds of persimmons from the space, as well as two pickled dried fish.

When Mr. Ji heard that they were going to Beijing for treatment, he expressed his strong support. Ji Linhai seemed to be thinking about something, and finally sighed and said nothing.

"Brother Ji, I have something to trouble you with. I'm sure you know that my mother and her family are in the cowshed in the next village. I'm not sure when I'll be back, and I'm worried that something might have happened to them.

If anything happens, please help me. You are a capable person, better than them who are powerless. I will thank you when I come back."

After saying that, Gu Qinghuan mentioned the incident of Zhong Zijun being injured before, and also vaguely mentioned the matter of Wang Quezi.

Ji Linhai knew about Zhong Zijun's existence. After all, they lived close to each other. Zhong Zijun usually hid at home. She could deceive outsiders, but she couldn't deceive Ji Linhai's sharp eyes.

After all, no one can lock the door when no one is at home after going out.

But he just knew it in his heart before and didn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the situation. If there's anything, I'll definitely help if I can."

Actually, Gu Qinghuan was just trying to prevent Yu Huiran from getting into trouble. She was worried that her mother and the others would only report good news and not bad news, so she mentioned a few words to Ji Linhai as a double insurance. Unexpectedly, this extra word actually saved Zhong Zijun's life.

As the saying goes, don't underestimate anyone.

After everything was done, the two returned home.

Dabao and Beibei had already packed their luggage obediently, with their clothes, shoes and socks neatly folded, and were waiting for Gu Qinghuan to come back to pack together.

The two of them were so excited since they heard their father say in the morning that the family would go to Beijing.

Beijing is the capital of China, and they can actually go to such a powerful place.

The two began to look forward to it before they even left.

Because Gu Qinghuan's room had already been tidied and the quilts and other things had been put away, she was too lazy to move and simply slept on the same kang with them tonight.

Don't let your imagination run wild. The kangs in the north are very large, and with one person at each end, it's almost the same as sleeping on a large bunk bed.

I have to pack up and go out early tomorrow morning, so Gu Qinghuan specially made sure I eat early and go to bed early tonight.

Both children fell asleep. Gu Qinghuan was half asleep and half awake when she heard Xu Huaian still tossing and turning.

He said dazedly, "What are you doing? Go to sleep quickly or you won't be able to sleep tomorrow."

Xu Huaian whispered, "Ah."

He was just excited. It was the first time he slept on the same kang with Gu Qinghuan. Even though there were two kids between them, it was still the same kang, which meant that Gu Qinghuan no longer rejected them.

If Gu Qinghuan knew what he was thinking, she would only say: Honey, don’t think too much, I’m just lazy!

Gu Qinghuan fell asleep quickly. Xu Huaian listened to her breathing and found it difficult to fall asleep for a while. He thought a lot about what would happen after he went to Beijing. He finally fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Gu Qinghuan got up before dawn.

I made egg pancakes for breakfast first. I originally wanted to make corn porridge, but that stuff makes you pee a lot, and it’s inconvenient to travel with.

After a simple breakfast, the family went their separate ways. Xu Huaian took the two children and packed their luggage for going out, while Gu Qinghuan put the things on the kang into the space.

After searching everywhere inside and outside to make sure nothing is missing, you can set off.

We brought a lot of stuff with us this time because the weather was getting cold. Everyone wore a cotton jacket and the clothes were thick and took up a lot of space, so we needed a big backpack.

Then I also brought a lot of food, drinks and other things for the journey.

Gu Qinghuan originally wanted to throw everything into the space for convenience, but Xu Huaian insisted on carrying it himself. Even if he couldn't carry everything, he had to take most of the things.

It's okay to lie to outsiders about some things. As the two children grow up, they can also see the clues. Xu Huaian doesn't want Gu Qinghuan to be in danger, so he wants to do everything he can to be foolproof.

So when the family goes out, everyone carries something on their backs, as if they are fleeing.

Xu Huaian also smiled and said to the two children: "We are here to bring an umbrella when it is sunny and dry food when it is full. We will be prepared for a rainy day and be infallible."

The family had to walk from the village to the commune first. The commune had a bus to the county town, where they could take a ride. After arriving at the county town, they had to take a small minibus to the provincial capital. Trains were only available in the provincial capital.

As for the train tickets to Beijing, I can only buy them after I arrive in the provincial capital because it is too far and there is no way to buy them in advance. Traveling is so difficult these days.

The family struggled for a long time with their bags and finally arrived near the provincial railway station around noon.

Looking around, the place is full of people, including passengers, people seeing them off, and small vendors secretly selling things.

Holding a basket, he approached stealthily and said, "Big sister, do you want hard-boiled eggs? They are from our own chickens and are very delicious."

Gu Qinghuan waved her hand and went to look for her next target.

It's not that no one is watching over these people. Speculation is a serious crime these days, but it's impossible for the people in charge to watch over them all day long, so these people just take advantage of every opportunity to sell things.

Business is easy to do at the train station, but people are also easy to cheat.

When they arrived at the train station, Xu Huaian reminded the two children to hold their parents' hands.

When he was out and about, he had heard of many cases of children being lost on trains or abducted by human traffickers.

Dabao and Beibei are very obedient. Although they are curious, they know to hold adults' hands tightly when they go out.

Gu Qinghuan held Beibei and Xu Huaian held Dabao, one for each.

There were so many people in the train station that it was easy to lose sight of someone in a blink of an eye, so I didn’t dare to let go even though my hands were sweating from clenching my fists.

The whole family is very good-looking, which easily attracts other people's attention. When faced with those who come to chat with them, Gu Qinghuan assumes that they are bad people, and drives them away rudely without smiling at all.

There is a train to Beijing at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Huaian thought about it and took out his ID. He also said a lot of nice things to the ticket seller and bought two sleeper tickets.

He had never been willing to take up resources to take a sleeper berth by himself, but now they had families to bring with them, and it would take two days and one night to get to Beijing.

If they squeezed into the hard seats, Gu Qinghuan and the two children would definitely suffer, and he couldn't bear it.

He could only use the rights granted to him by the country with a smug look on his face.

After buying the tickets, it was still early, just right for a meal.

There is a state-owned hotel next to the train station.

Xu Huaian simply took a few people to a restaurant.

He didn't have enough food coupons, so he secretly found someone to exchange a lot of them for money. This time he went to Beijing, he would inevitably need various tickets.

At the entrance of the state-owned restaurant, a small blackboard displayed today’s offerings: large meat buns, white flour steamed buns, noodles with shredded pork, noodles with soybean paste, pork in sweet and sour sauce, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, and stewed chicken with mushrooms.

There were so many people inside that it was hard to squeeze in and there was no place to sit. Many people just bought something easy to carry and eat.

Gu Qinghuan looked at the two children, while Xu Huaian squeezed in and bought ten big meat buns and ten big steamed buns.

They took it out steaming hot and the four of them stood on the roadside and started eating it. This is what everyone does these days, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

I have to say, the braised pork buns in soy sauce in this state-owned restaurant are really good, with thin skin and big fillings, and the taste is great. Most importantly, I was really hungry.

Dabao and Beibei each ate two buns and an egg that Gu Qinghuan had cooked in the morning, and that was about enough.

Gu Qinghuan ate two steamed buns and then a big steamed bun before she felt full in her stomach.

Xu Huaian was the best at it, he ate four big meat buns and three steamed buns directly.

Gu Qinghuan's eyes widened. With so much food, where did he eat it?

“Ah…ah…”

Suddenly, a baby started crying.
