Chapter 125 Departing for Beijing and Arriving at the Beijing District Family Compound
Since joining the army, Bai Zhizhi's daily life has been filled with taking care of children, planting in the space, "buying vegetables" outside, doing housework and other tasks year after year.
She felt that her life was becoming more and more monotonous, repeating the same things every day and feeling a little bored. However, she knew that this was her responsibility and she had to take good care of her family and children.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. In early December, while resting in Luchuan, Bai Zhizhi suddenly thought about where to spend the New Year this year. She began to think about this question because she didn't want to spend the New Year in Liujia Village like last year; because she wanted to take her children to see the outside world and let them experience different cultures and customs.
So, Bai Zhizhi tried to discuss with Lu Chuan whether to go to Beijing for the New Year this year.
After all, we celebrated the New Year in Liujia Village last year. Now that the triplets are three years old, it’s time to take them out to see the world.
She expressed her idea to Lu Chuan and said that she was willing to bear all the expenses. After listening to her, Lu Chuan was silent for a while, and then said to Bai Zhizhi: "Wife, the money is in your pocket. How can I have money? In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, but I have never brought it up because I am afraid that you will not be used to staying in Beijing. Since you think so, let's go. However, we have to make preparations first, such as buying tickets and giving gifts to family members, etc."
After hearing this, Bai Zhizhi nodded happily and agreed. She felt that Lu Chuan was really considerate and always understood her thoughts.
In the next few days, they began to prepare for the trip to Beijing. They bought tickets together and prepared some gifts from the system space warehouse to bring to relatives and friends. At the same time, they also told their parents and children the good news. Everyone was looking forward to the trip.
He smiled and continued, "Yes, and the children haven't met their grandparents yet. This is a good opportunity to let them meet them."
"Well, that's settled then." Lu Chuan said, and began to pack up his things.
So Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan started to prepare. In addition to some necessary daily necessities, they also had to consider what gifts to bring to their nephews and family members. After some discussion, they decided to bring some local specialties and some exquisite small gifts.
When Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan told the triplets that they were going to Beijing, the three little ones were extremely excited. They pestered Bai Zhizhi with questions all day long. After all, they didn't have a deep impression of their grandparents and other relatives.
"Mom, when are we going to Jing City?"
"Mom, are there many fun places in Jing City?"
"Mom, I want to bring a gift for my grandparents and my brother. What do you think is good?"
The children's questions came one after another, leaving Bai Zhizhi overwhelmed, but she still patiently answered every question and tried her best to satisfy the children's curiosity.

Ever since they said they were going to Beijing, the triplets have been very optimistic about their studies every day. Bai Zhizhi has been researching what kind of gifts to send over the past few days, after all, they used to send gifts every two months.
"Mom, I learned a new ancient poem today!"
"Mom, I've finished my math homework!"
"Mom, I drew a beautiful picture too!"
Bai Zhizhi was very pleased to see the children studying hard. She knew that this trip to Beijing was of great significance to the children. Not only could they see their families whom they had not seen for a long time, but they could also gain knowledge and broaden their horizons. She also needed to prepare well and bring some special gifts to her family.
In the following days, Bai Zhizhi was busy with work and family affairs while carefully selecting gifts. Considering the cold weather in Beijing, she bought a few thick cotton jackets; she knew her father liked to drink tea, so she picked a box of high-quality tea; her mother liked to eat sweets, so she bought some exquisite cakes. In addition, she also selected a small gift for each of her brothers and sisters, hoping that everyone could feel her heart.
Finally, the departure day is getting closer and closer, and the whole family is immersed in the joy of meeting each other soon. Bai Zhizhi is looking forward to spending a warm holiday with her family, and also hopes that this trip can become a beautiful memory for the children on their growth path.
In the blink of an eye, the day of departure finally arrived. Since the train ticket time was at nine in the morning, it would take about two hours to get to the city. It would definitely not be possible to get there by normal means of transportation in the old days, and Lu Chuan's guards were still in the mountains, so Bai Zhizhi's family of five had to set off early in the morning. When they left the family compound, they took out a more retro four-wheeled vehicle from the space and drove faster.
Bai Zhizhi saw that the triplets were still asleep, so she asked Lu Chuan to prepare breakfast and she woke them up herself. They woke up soon. The family got up early, had a quick breakfast, and then set off for the capital with full expectations.
When I walked out of the family compound, it was still dark. The sky was dotted with stars and the bright moonlight was shining on the earth. It was very quiet around me, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Bai Zhizhi looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and felt the fresh air in the morning. She felt that this moment was very beautiful, as if the whole world belonged to their family of five.
Bai Zhizhi turned her head to look at Lu Chuan and the children. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation. She smiled, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
This trip to Beijing not only allows the triplets to see their family again, but also brings them some surprises and warmth. It is also because of the changes in Beijing that they cannot go to Beijing often.
Bai Zhizhi quickly jumped into a retro military jeep from the Space Mall and asked Lu Chuan to drive, while she and the triplets continued to catch up on their sleep in the back seat.
Along the way, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan told the children about the prosperity and bustle of the capital, making them yearn for this strange city.
The children listened with great interest and asked various questions from time to time, and Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan answered them patiently. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the train station and started a new journey.
We arrived at Haishi Railway Station at 1973 a.m. on December 12, 23. Lu Chuan drove very fast. Fortunately, there were not many people in W Province at that time, and it was cold, so everyone stayed in bed to keep warm.
This time, Bai Zhizhi did not put the triplets into the system space, but let them get on the train. The three of them bought a sleeper ticket (they didn't want to buy it at first, but this time the triplets were entering the train station, so they were afraid of random inspections. Although the triplets were still young, their height was taller than other places).
After arriving at the destination, Bai Zhizhi and her family of five got off the car, then put the car into the space and headed to the train station.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhi quickened her pace and pulled Lu Chuan and the children towards the train station.
Recalling the journey just now, Bai Zhizhi originally wanted to catch up on some sleep, but she kept hearing the children chattering in her ears, full of curiosity and excitement, and she lost all desire to sleep. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan smiled at each other, their hearts full of happiness. The triplets looked at the scenery outside the window curiously and kept asking various questions. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan patiently answered them, and the car was filled with laughter.
1973:12 AM, June 23,
Bai Zhizhi's family of five got on the train smoothly. On the train, the children looked at the scenery outside the window curiously and kept asking various questions. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan patiently answered them, and the journey was filled with laughter.
At 1973:12 a.m. on December 25, 5
Finally, they arrived in Beijing. They could see the bustling city from the train window. The triplets were still sleeping and Bai Zhizhi didn't want to wake them up. After all, they had been on the train for two days and two nights, and the scenery outside the window had already dazzled the children. However, arriving in Beijing this time made Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan feel the long-lost lively atmosphere.
After two days and two nights of driving, Bai Zhizhi's family finally arrived in Jing City on the morning of the third day. The bumpy road made the family a little tired, but thinking about seeing their relatives soon, everyone became excited again. After all, Wuyang County, W Province is far away from Jing City, B Province, and this journey is also a rare opportunity for reunion.
At eight o'clock in the morning on December 1973, 12, a family of five walked out of the train station.
The cold air made people shiver. They took a tricycle and headed towards the Beijing Municipal Family Courtyard. Along the way, the children looked out the window excitedly, full of curiosity about this strange city.
When the tricycle drove into the city, the children were attracted by the prosperous scene. The tall buildings, bustling crowds and dazzling shops were dizzying.
Bai Zhizhi felt very warm in her heart when she saw the happy faces of the children. She knew that although they had left their familiar hometown, this place would become their new home in the future, a place full of love and hope.
The tricycle stopped at the gate of the family compound. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan got off the car with the triplets and their luggage. They stood in front of the gate, feeling the atmosphere of Beijing.
At this time, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan shouted to the yard: "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, we are back!" Her voice echoed in the silent yard.
However, the only voices that answered them were Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu. Bai Zhizhi then realized that today was Tuesday and everyone had to go to work, so there were only Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu at home. She didn't see anyone else in the yard. Maybe they all went to work.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan smiled at each other, then walked into the house with the children. In the living room, Lu Chuan put down his luggage and saw Grandpa Lu concentrating on reading the newspaper, while Grandma Lu was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater. Bai Zhizhi walked up and gave Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu a big hug. Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu greeted them with a smile, with joy and expectation in their eyes.
She smiled and greeted the two elderly people: "Grandpa and grandma, hello! These are the triplets you've been thinking about so much. The triplets, hurry up and call them great grandpa and great grandma."
Older Da Lu Chenyu: "Grandpa, grandma, I am old Da Lu Chenyu, my nickname is Yu Yu, I will be 3 years old soon, and the three of us are triplets."
The second child, Lu Xuanyu: “Great-grandfather, great-grandma, I am the second child, Lu Xuanyu, and my nickname is Little Feather. I am almost 3 years old, and I am the older sister.”
The third child, Bai Chenxi: “Great-grandfather, great-grandma, hello, I am the third child, little Tuanzi, the same age as my older brothers and sisters, but I am the younger brother, not the younger sister,” the little Tuanzi responded cutely.
After hearing this, Bai Zhizhi chuckled and then took them forward to show the two of them.
Grandpa Lu put down the newspaper and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Third Brother, Zhizhi, I'm glad you're back. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Bai Zhizhi shook her head: "Thank you, Grandpa. I'm not hungry." Then she walked to Grandma Lu, looked at the sweater in her hand, and asked curiously: "Grandma, who did you knit this sweater for?"
Grandma Lu smiled and said, "I knitted it for you. The weather is getting colder, so you should wear thicker clothes so you don't catch a cold."
Bai Zhizhi was moved and hugged Grandma Lu: "Grandma, you are so kind, thank you!"
Grandma Lu patted Bai Zhizhi's hand gently and said earnestly, "Silly child, what are you thanking me for? We are all family!"
Bai Zhizhi felt warm at heart after hearing this. She felt that she was so lucky to have met such kind and amiable grandparents.
She secretly made up her mind that she must respect them well in the future, let them enjoy family happiness and live a happy and fulfilling old age.
Bai Zhizhi sat on the sofa, chatting with her grandparents and listening to their stories about the past and their life experiences.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Mr. and Mrs. Lu also returned home from get off work. When they saw their youngest son and his family all came back, their faces were filled with joy, as if they were ten years younger.
Mother Lu said happily: "Oh, today is such a great day for a family reunion! If the capital wasn't so chaotic right now, I would really like to take you out for a big meal!"
Bai Zhizhi smiled and replied, "Mom, don't worry. Let's go out for dinner together after the capital city stabilizes."
Father Lu nodded in agreement: "Yes, the situation is still unstable now, so it's safer at home. However, as long as our family is together, it's the happiest thing."
Everyone sat together, talking and laughing. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious. This small family was full of love and care, which made people feel extremely warm.
June Second, 1973
During the two days in Beijing, Bai Zhizhi and her family visited many famous attractions with great interest.
They strolled through the ancient and solemn Forbidden City, admiring the red walls, yellow tiles, and magnificent palace buildings; in Tiananmen Square, they looked up at the majestic Monument to the People's Heroes, and their hearts were filled with reverence for the martyrs; entering the Summer Palace, they were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, pavilions, and towers, and appreciated the unique charm of the royal garden.
In addition, they also tasted special foods such as roast duck and noodles with soybean paste, and gained a deeper understanding of Beijing's traditional culture and customs.
The children had fun in this strange city, made many new friends and had an unforgettable and wonderful time.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan were also busy looking for suitable courtyard houses. Although it was hard work, they felt satisfied every time they saw the bright smiles of the children.
After returning home, Bai Zhizhi was filled with emotion. She realized that although life was dull, everything would become so beautiful as long as she had the company of her family.
She secretly made up her mind that she would take her children on trips every year during the reform and opening-up period to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge. At the same time, she would continue to work hard to create more happiness and joy for her family.
They spent an unforgettable New Year in Beijing and gained many wonderful memories, which will be forever engraved in their hearts and become precious treasures in their lives.
