The train continued to move forward, and the atmosphere in the carriage gradually returned to calm.
Xiaodouzi slowly relaxed in Zhang Lanxiang's arms. He looked at the people around him with curiosity in his eyes.
But after two days in a row, the originally curious little Douzi became wilted and leaned in Zhang Lanxiang's arms, listless.
"Xiaodouzi, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Zhang Lanxiang asked softly.
Xiaodouzi shook his head, his voice a little low: "Grandma, I'm fine, just a little bored."
Shi Qingqian came over, touched Xiaodouzi's head, and said, "Xiaodouzi, hold on a little longer, we will soon reach our new home."
After hearing Shi Qingqian's words, Xiaodouzi's eyes flashed with anticipation.
"It's almost noon, go and get some dishes," Shi Qingqian said and winked at Xu Huaian.
Xu Huaian understood.
These past few days, every time Xu Huaian went to get food, he would secretly buy a few dishes from the space vending machine and mix them together, pretending that he bought them all from the food cart.
Xu Huaian stood up from his seat and walked towards the dining car.
Along the way, he carefully observed his surroundings to make sure no one noticed his actions.
When he arrived near the dining car, he found a secluded corner, quickly took out two meat dishes from the space vending machine, and put them in the lunch box.
The braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs look very tempting.
Xu Huaian adjusted his expression, pretended nothing had happened, walked towards the dining car, and bought some ordinary meals.
Then he mixed the food together and walked back with the lunch box.
When they returned to their seats, Shi Qingqian and Zhang Lanxiang had already put Xiaodouzi into place and were waiting for Xu Huaian to come back.
Xu Huaian opened the lunch box and a fragrant aroma filled his nose.
"Wow, we have sweet and sour pork ribs today," Xiaodouzi said happily.
Zhang Lanxiang looked at the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs in her lunch box, her eyes full of doubt: "Are all the food on this train so good? I didn't see such good food the last time I took a train."
Xu Huaian quickly smiled and said, "Mom, I gave you extra money and asked the chef to add more dishes. We've been very tired on this journey, so I wanted to give you something good to eat."
After hearing this, Zhang Lanxiang thought that he was spending money recklessly, but since she saw that Xiaodouzi liked it, she didn't say anything more.
Xiaodouzi first picked up a piece of pork ribs for each of Zhang Lanxiang, A Miao, Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian, and then ate it himself.
While eating the sweet and sour pork ribs, he nodded and said, "Grandma, these ribs are delicious. You should eat them quickly too."
"Okay, okay, grandma will eat too. Our little Douzi is really filial."
The whole family happily enjoyed this sumptuous lunch.
After eating, Xiaodouzi regained some energy.
He looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and began to ask various questions.
"Dad, how big is Jing City?"
"Mom, will our new home be bigger than our previous one?"
"..."
Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian patiently answered Xiaodouzi's questions, and the carriage was filled with laughter.
……
As time passed, the train finally slowly pulled into the railway station in Beijing.
Shi Qingqian gently took Xiaodouzi's hand. Xiaodouzi's eyes were full of excitement and curiosity, and he kept looking around at this unfamiliar station.
Xu Huaian, Zhang Lanxiang and A Miao each carried their luggage, and the family walked slowly among the bustling crowd.
As soon as she got off the train, Shi Qingqian's attention was attracted by two tall soldiers not far away.
They were dressed in neat military uniforms and held a sign with Xu Huaian's name clearly written on it.
The big words were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
Xu Huaian also quickly noticed the two soldiers, and the family walked towards them.
When they walked in front of the soldiers, the two soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted in a uniform manner, full of military dignity.
"Brigade Commander Xu, welcome to Jing City! We are sent by the military region to pick you up," one of the soldiers said loudly, his voice full of respect.
Xu Huaian quickly returned the greeting, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiaodouzi looked at the two soldiers curiously, his eyes full of admiration.
The two soldiers took the luggage from Zhang Lanxiang and A Miao and led them out of the station.
……
An hour later, they arrived at the Northern Military Region.
What meets the eye is a solemn and dignified scene, with neat buildings and wide roads, which demonstrate the rigor and standardization of the soldiers everywhere.
Shi Qingqian held Xiaodouzi's hand tightly, while Xu Huaian walked side by side with the two soldiers, discussing some information about the military region.
Zhang Lanxiang and A Miao followed behind, feeling both excited about the new environment and a little nervous.
As you walk into the military district gate, you can feel a unique atmosphere.
On the playground, soldiers were undergoing rigorous training, their slogans resounding, the sun shining on their resolute faces, their sweat glistening.
Xiaodouzi looked at those heroic soldiers, his eyes full of excitement and yearning.
The two soldiers took them to the accommodation arranged for them.
This is a clean and tidy courtyard, and it is obvious that it has been cleaned in advance.
"The commander heard that Brigade Commander Xu didn't live in the tube-shaped building, so he specially ordered people to clean up this small courtyard," one of the soldiers explained. "Auntie, sister-in-law, take a look. Are you satisfied?"
Shi Qingqian looked at the courtyard, her eyes full of surprise: "Thank you so much, this courtyard is very beautiful, we like it very much."
Zhang Lanxiang also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this really troubles the leader."
The two soldiers smiled and said, "That's good. We won't bother you for now. Commander Xu, the commander said you just arrived at the military region. Make arrangements for your family first and report back the day after tomorrow morning."
Xu Huaian saluted them solemnly and said, "Thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work."
After the two soldiers left, the family began to look at the courtyard carefully.
This yard is much larger than the previous one in the Southern Military Region, and it seems a little empty.
Zhang Lanxiang looked at the large yard and said, "This is a great place. We can grow some vegetables, some flowers and plants, and raise a few chickens. It will definitely be lively."
"Mom, let's go in and put the things down before we take a look."
The family walked into the house and began to look carefully at their new home.
Not only is the yard bigger than before, the house is even bigger.
The house has two floors. In addition to the kitchen, there are four rooms on the first floor. Each room is about the same size, and beds are already arranged in two of the rooms.
Go up the wooden stairs to the second floor, where there are two rooms, one large and one small.
