Wear the book and be reborn as a group favorite for 50 people

In the next few days, everyone started to work separately. Dad Tang was responsible for issuing certificates and letters of introduction everywhere, and he issued them without much effort. The most difficult thing is booking tickets. There are too many people. Although there are fewer people traveling now, there are also fewer trains. It is indeed difficult to book tickets for so many people at once, but this does not trouble Chen Xi's father. After telling him the approximate departure date, Chen Xi's father notified them that the tickets were purchased within two days.

Tang Ma and Sister Zheng are responsible for buying food on the road. Since the weather is hot now, unlike the last time Tang Xin and Tang Ma traveled, they can prepare a lot of cooked food. On this hot day, they can only prepare some pasta and canned food. Fortunately, the train Meals are provided, so you don’t have to prepare too much.

Finally, everything was ready, and the day of departure arrived. Their train was at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, the family got into the Chen family's car and rushed to the train station to meet Chen Xi.

Because Chen Xi's father was busy with work, it was inconvenient to come to the station to see him off. Only Chen Xi's mother and brother came from the Chen family. Mother Chen repeatedly told Chen Xi to listen more to Father Tang and Mother Tang on the road, which made Chen Xi's ears grow calloused.

"Xiao Chen, I'm in trouble for you and your wife this time. This child Chen Xi insists on going with you, but we won't listen no matter what you say." Chen Xi's mother took Tang's mother's hand and said.

"Sister Wu, you are too polite. After so many years, Chen Xi has been like my own child. You can rest assured if you go out with us." Erxing Qianli's mother was worried. Tang's mother understood the mood of Chen Xi's mother and repeated Promise her that Chen Xi will follow her and rest assured.

"I'm relieved, don't worry, I just think it's too troublesome for you."

"Aunt Wu, you don't know it's too late for us to be happy, right brother?" Tang Xin hugged Chen Xi and said to Chen Xi's mother.

"Yes, Auntie, it's not too late for us to be happy that Chen Xi can come with us." After receiving his sister's instructions, his brother Zhanbo immediately expressed his stance.

Hearing what Zhan Bo said, Chen Xi immediately puffed up his chest, meaning, look, people are welcoming me.

Brother Chen Xi really couldn't bear to see his sister like this. He pointed at his sister: "I'm just being polite. You have to listen to Tang Xin all the way, you know? My uncle and aunt are going to visit relatives, so don't cause any trouble to them."

"I know, I'm so old and sensible, why do you always worry about me?" Chen Xi was really helpless.

"Aunt Wu, please don't worry, Brother Chen. Chen Xi is sensible." Tang Xin really wanted to prove to her friends that Chen Xi was generous and sensible outside. Maybe it was because he acted too freely in front of his family that the family kept I thought she wouldn't grow up.

After hearing what Tang Xin said, Chen Xi nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. I believe that Chen Xi has grown up and become sensible." Chen Xi's mother finally stopped saying anything. In fact, she also knew that her daughter's home was not the same as outside, but as a mother, she was always worried.

It was almost time. Chen Xi said goodbye to his mother and brother, and happily got on the train with the Tang family. He really didn't look back and had no nostalgia at all. Chen Xi's mother was sighing when she saw this. This child is really heartless.

The train started to whistle and started slowly, taking them towards Jiangnan. This was the first time in my life to go to Jiangnan. I was so excited just thinking about it.

Knowing that he would take three old people with him, Chen Xi's father specially chose this train with sleeper berths. Unfortunately, it was not the kind of soft sleeper that Tang Xin and the others took last time. It was just an ordinary sleeper berth with upper and lower berths. The elderly were all arranged in the lower bunk, and after putting their luggage away, they began their happy travel life.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh to Tang Xin, "Tang Xin, I discovered for the first time that the sunset is so beautiful."

"Yeah, I didn't have the time or opportunity to sit quietly and watch the sunset before, but now I have the opportunity. The sunset is so beautiful." Tang Xin looked at the fiery red sunset in the distance, dyeing the clouds on the horizon red. I can’t help but sigh.

"What are you two little girls talking about?" Brother Zhanbo came over from next door and asked.

"Brother, we are watching the sunset. Come and watch it together. It's so beautiful." Tang Xin greeted her brother and moved inside to make room for him.

"Really? I'll take a look too." After hearing this, Zhan Bo sat down next to his sister and enjoyed the sunset with the two little girls.

Dinner was eaten in the train's dining car. There were three elderly people in the group, so Tang's father and Tang's mother were not prepared to wrong themselves. Unlike most people who brought their own dry food, they had to meet everyone's meals in the dining car along the way. of.

After wandering around on the train for two days, I finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Sioux City.

Grandma and aunt were very happy when they got off the train and listened to the familiar soft words of Wu Nong. I even felt that my breathing became much smoother, "This is the smell of hometown." Grandma sighed.

"Yeah, I didn't feel too homesick at first, but now that I'm back, I realize how much I miss my hometown." My aunt nodded in agreement with her grandmother's words.

"Mom, let's go out. Didn't you tell me that uncle will come to pick us up? Don't keep uncle and the others waiting." Tang's mother reminded Mrs. Chen beside her.

"Yes, yes, your uncle and the others are still waiting. Let's get out quickly after my cousin leaves. Jinwen and Jinzeng are probably waiting outside." Old Mrs. Chen took her aunt's hand and walked towards the exit of the station.

As soon as I walked out of the station, I saw someone holding a sign high across the iron fence of the station with the names of my grandma and aunt.

"Grandma, over there, where is the person who picked us up?" Brother Zhanbo, with his sharp eyes, was the first to notice, and then said to the grandmother beside him.

Grandma followed Zhanbo's guidance and saw the person holding the sign and the two older men standing next to him, "Jinwen, Jinzeng."

Grandma quickly pulled her aunt beside her and said excitedly: "Cousin, look, it's Jin Wen and Jin Zeng who are there."

Grandma also looked over, and then suddenly her eyes got wet, "Yes, yes, it's them, it's them."

Tang Xin and Chen Xi each supported an old lady and walked forward quickly.

People outside also saw them. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Tang Xin could still recognize the two uncles through frequent correspondence.

After not seeing each other for many years, these elderly people were extremely excited to meet again. They held hands tightly and said, "Eldest sister, third sister."

Grandma quickly introduced the people behind her to her brothers. Father Tang, Mother Tang, and brother and sister Tang Xin quickly said hello to the two uncles.

In the car, grandma told Tang Xin and others about their relatives. Grandma's father and aunt's father were brothers. They were the only two brothers in their generation. Grandma's father is the second in line, and my aunt's father is the eldest.

My aunt's father has three children in total. My aunt has an older brother and a younger brother. Grandma's father has four children. Grandma has an older brother, a sister, and a younger brother. Grandma is the third child.

The great-grandfather's generation is no longer around, and now the only ones left in the family are the eldest uncle (aunt's brother), the second uncle (grandmother's brother), the third uncle (aunt's brother), and the fourth uncle (grandmother's brother). Now, my grandma’s sister passed away a few years ago.

"Hey, good, good," the third uncle introduced the nephews around him to the Tang family. They are the same generation as Tang's father and Tang's mother. They are Tang's mother's cousins. Tang Xin and the others will call them cousins.

"Eldest sister, third sister, let's not talk here for now and get in the car quickly. Brother and the others are waiting at home." The fourth uncle said openly. He was so happy to see the sisters that they actually started chatting here.

"Yes, yes, go home, go home." My aunt nodded, so my cousins ​​and uncles took everyone's luggage, and everyone took the car to the Zhang family's ancestral home.
