Chapter 239 Mom, Let Me Blow It for You
Over the next few days, Chen Weidong would light a fire in the fire pit in the house every now and then.

Chen Weidong’s new house was not special in any way. He just had a few wooden beds for people to sleep on.

In this day and age, sleeping on a wooden bed without central heating is asking for trouble.

All said and done, sleeping on a heated kang is the most comfortable in the Northeast.

Absolutely warm in winter and cool in summer.

Soon after the house was habitable, the family started moving!
The little girls in the family have been playing in the new house frequently these days. They are all very happy and want to move into the new house as soon as possible.

Soon, it was moving day.

According to the rules, Chen Weidong set off a cannon in advance, and then Chen Weidong’s family of eight began to move.

After moving, Chen Weidong, his wife and children lived in the new house for two more days.
Time passed quickly, and Chen Weidong was also preparing to go to Liu Xueting’s hometown in the south – Jiangning.

Before leaving, Chen Weidong had already said hello to his family!
Now that Liu Xueting is pregnant, they also need to take care of the six little girls in the family and the livestock in the farm.

……

Liu Xueting’s hometown is in the southern city of Jiangning, about 1,400 kilometers away from Heishong County.

Moreover, the transportation in those days was not as developed as in later generations. As long as you took the train, you could go to any place in the country.
There are not many trains these days, and they basically stop in provincial capitals and some special cities.

If Chen Weidong wanted to go to Jiangning, he needed to take a bus to Hajiang City. If everything went well, he could take a train from Hajiang City to the interior of the country and reach Chuncheng.
Then take a bus for three hours to Hucheng, and then take a five-hour train from Hucheng to Jiangning.

……

“Mom, what are you doing packing?”

At night, Liu Xueting helped Chen Weidong pack his luggage. Her husband was going to meet his parents, but she couldn’t go with him now.
Liu Xueting felt touched and complicated. Although she really wanted to go with Chen Weidong to see her family whom she hadn’t seen for many years, she also knew that she was pregnant and the journey was too long. For the safety of the baby in her belly, she couldn’t go with him.

“Your dad is going to grandma and grandpa’s house! Do you know what grandma and grandpa are?”

Liu Xueting asked while touching Xiaowu’s little head.

“Grandma, Grandpa?”

“Mom, I know, I know, grandma is your mom, and grandpa is your dad!”

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said in a baby voice, “Last time, Fourth Sister talked to Dad about it! Dad even praised Fourth Sister!”

“Xiaowu is awesome!”

Liu Xueting smiled.

“Hehe, my third sister also said that my grandparents live in a very far away place. It’s very beautiful there. Is my mother beautiful too? I’ve never been there.”

“Yes, it is very beautiful. Mom will remember it for the rest of her life! Mom will take you to see it later.”

Liu Xueting recalled every detail of her hometown.

“Good! Good!”

“Mom, do you miss grandma and grandpa?” Xiao San also came over and asked in a baby voice.

Liu Xueting was stunned for a moment. As time passed, the figures of her parents and younger brothers and sisters had become blurred in her mind.

“Mom must miss grandma and grandpa, just like Si Ni misses mom and dad.”

“Haha, then Si Ni, do you miss your grandparents?”

“No, Si Ni has never seen them! They didn’t buy Si Ni any delicious food.”

“Uh~ You’re a little foodie, you only know how to eat.”

“Hehe, but I want to go to my grandma and grandpa’s house to play with my mom and dad!”

“I want to go with Mom and Dad, too!”

“My elder sister and I still have to go to school, otherwise I would like to go too.”

“Your mother won’t go. She’s pregnant now, and it’s not convenient for her to go to such a far place!”

“You all should stay at home. Dad will take you there next time when there is a chance.”

“Good! Good!”

“Weidong, I haven’t received a reply in such a long time. My parents may have moved away. I want to tell you where some of my relatives live.”

Liu Xueting said.

“it is good!”

Chen Weidong nodded. This was pretty much what he thought.

“By the way, Xueting, if you meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, do you have anything you want me to say?”

“I…just need to tell them that I’m doing fine now, and I’ll go visit them after the baby is born.”

Liu Xueting wanted to say something but stopped herself, and tears couldn’t help but fall from her black and white eyes. This made Chen Weidong feel distressed. He knew that his wife hadn’t seen her family for many years… He could understand this feeling.

“Mom, why are you crying?”

Xiaowu asked in a baby voice.

Xiaoliu had already run over by now and was wiping away Liu Xueting’s tears with his little hands.

“Mom, it’s okay! I just lost my eyesight!”

“Mom, let me help you blow it!”

“Hoohoo!”

“Silly girl, stop making trouble!” Chen Weidong held the two little kids over.

“Weidong, you should also pay attention to safety on the road.”

Liu Xueting wiped her tears and gave instructions.

“Okay, don’t worry! Your man has been to all parts of the country!” Chen Weidong
“You’re bragging again. You’ve only been to Hajiang. Where else have you been? You’ve traveled all over the country!”

Liu Xueting burst into laughter.

“Bragging! Bragging!” “Dad, bragging!”

“…”

The little milk ball also shouted.

“Okay! How dare you make fun of your dad!” Chen Weidong grabbed the little girl beside him and started biting her.

giggle!
The little girl laughed continuously as her milk was rubbed.

Chen Weidong and the little girls were playing on the kang. Liu Xueting looked at her husband and children and felt happy.

The next day.

It’s just dawn.

Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting got up as soon as the rooster crowed for the first time.

He went to check on his daughters first. They were all sleeping soundly, except for the fourth and fifth daughters, who seemed to be grinding their teeth and feeling a little hot.

The quilt was lifted, he helped tuck it in, kissed their little faces, and then quietly retreated.

After dinner, following Liu Xueting’s repeated instructions, Chen Weidong drove the donkey cart out of the house. He did not wake up the children. Although he had said it nicely yesterday, they would definitely cry and make a fuss if they were seen.

After meeting up with Shitou and Bingzi, the two of them sent Chen Weidong to Hesong County and then drove the donkey cart back.

Then, Chen Weidong bought a ticket and got on the bus. He arrived in Hajiang City at night, but missed the last bus.

Chen Weidong stayed in Hajiang City for one night, and at around eight or nine o’clock the next day, he took a train to the interior.

Along the way, Chen Weidong also quietly looked at the scenery outside the car window.

This was also the first time for him to meet his wife’s family. Even though Chen Weidong lived to be over sixty years old in his previous life, he still felt complicated.

The scenery outside the car window ranges from white to taupe to yellow-green.

After entering the pass,

Unlike the Northeast, it was already very hot in the Great Wall in early July. People also wore short-sleeved shirts.

At this time, there were footsteps approaching and finally stopped beside Chen Weidong.

He is the conductor of the train.

“Check your tickets!”

The conductor’s voice sounded.

Chen Weidong took out a ticket and handed it over.

There is also a letter of introduction.

In those days, without ID cards, you needed a letter of introduction when traveling by bus or train. The conductor would open the ticket and take a look.

“Visiting relatives!!”

That’s right, whenever Chen Weidong goes out, he always asks Wang Guofu to write that the reason is to visit relatives.

If you want to do business in this era, you are doomed.

You have to know that these days many dealers take trains to shop for goods, and many train attendants will ask them questions. If they are caught, they will definitely be sent to jail. But even so, those dealers enjoy doing it.

“Correct!”

The conductor took a quick look and returned the ticket and letter of introduction to Chen Weidong.

By the way, he also reminded: “Be careful to protect your valuables.”

After saying this, the conductor left.

The green train did not stop at the first station until around 1:00 p.m. As mentioned before, these days the train basically stops in provincial capitals and some other cities. There are no stations in many of the towns and villages it passes through!
As soon as the train stopped, many heads popped out from the train windows. I saw a small cart selling things outside the train.

There were not many snacks these days, and people only bought some steamed buns and so on. Many people chose to buy them because they were cheap and filling.

Although there are boxed lunches on the train, they are not cheap. A regular boxed lunch costs one yuan, one with a poached egg costs one yuan and a half, and one with a chicken leg costs two yuan.

The journey was long, so Chen Weidong certainly wouldn’t treat himself badly. He directly ordered a box lunch with two chicken legs, which made the passenger next to him very greedy.

Soon the train set off again.

There was nothing to do on the way! There were all kinds of people in the car, and Chen Weidong didn’t dare to sleep.
“Brother, riding in a car is boring. How about playing cards? We can get to the destination while playing.”

At this time, two people suddenly came and asked a thin young man in front of Chen Weidong,
The young man also felt that the car ride was boring, so he agreed without thinking! Because the two chatted with him for a long time, and then they came to Chen Weidong again, first they used the same trick to make a fuss with him, and then they wanted to invite him to join them. Chen Weidong refused without thinking.
This kind of thing is too common these days.

In his previous life, he often took long-distance trains and traveled all over the country to collect goods.

I often take a train for a day and a night. When I’m bored on the train, this kind of person often comes over to chat with me, lowers my guard, and then asks me to play cards with him.

Good guy.

Cruel is really cruel.

First I let you win a few games, and then I make you lose all your money.

Chen Weidong did not kindly remind the young man. Seeing that Chen Weidong did not agree, the two of them could only take the young man in front and go first.

Less than two hours later, the young man came back covered in dust.
When the person next to him asked, he found out that he had lost dozens of dollars in just two hours.

The young man was already regretting it.

Of course, this is just a small episode on the road.
The drive was extremely long.

Chen Weidong remained highly vigilant along the way, so the journey was relatively smooth.

This time he brought a total of five or six hundred yuan with him, which is not a small amount of money!

At six o’clock the next morning, I heard the train attendant shouting with a loudspeaker.

“Get off at Chuncheng ahead, we’re here!”
