Chapter 803 Pick-up Arrangements
Liu Jianjun was lost in his own thoughts, unaware of what was happening outside, and had no idea that Wang Xiulan had called him several times.
It wasn't until Zhou Mingxuan shook his arm hard that he woke him up from his thoughts.
"Ah, what's the matter?" Liu Jianjun came back to his senses and looked curiously at Zhou Mingxuan who woke him up.
Zhou Mingxuan pointed at Wang Xiulan and said, "Brother Jianjun, I want to ask you a question.
I called you several times, but you didn't respond. "
Liu Jianjun quickly looked at Wang Xiulan, "Mom, what do you want from me?"
"Jianjun, what are you thinking about? I asked you several times but you didn't respond?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about what to do after returning to the army." In front of so many people, Liu Jianjun naturally would not tell the truth and just made up an excuse.
Wang Xiulan thought that Liu Jianjun was distressed because he would most likely be transferred away soon after returning to the army and would no longer be able to be with his former comrades, and he was very reluctant to leave.
As for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were unaware of the situation, she couldn't comfort them directly and was thinking about how to deal with the situation.
Fortunately, Liu Jianjun did not give her the opportunity to continue to worry about it.
"Mom, you haven't told me what you asked me to do just now?"
Wang Xiulan was stunned and said quickly, "Nothing, I just want to ask about your future arrangements.
Now that Jianjun has arrived in Beijing, he is being taken care of by people sent by Mr. Zhou, so we don't have to worry about him anymore.
But after they take the train to Xi City, you will have to go and bring them back.
How did you arrange it?”
Hearing this, Liu Jianjun looked at Zhou Mingxuan and said, "You just said that my brother and his friends won't arrive in Beijing until tomorrow night, and will take the 7 o'clock train the day after tomorrow?"
Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "That's right.
If the bus is not late, we will arrive in Xishi at around 10:00 am the day after tomorrow."
“Then we’ll go to Xi City the day after tomorrow.
Do you plan to stay with me in Xishi for one night, or go there and come back the same day?" Liu Jianjun asked Zhou Mingxuan.
Zhou Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "It might be difficult to go there and come back the same day, considering the current road conditions.
I'd better stay in Xi City with you for one night and go back together the next day.
As for picking us up in town, leave it to Haozi."
Liu Jingxue raised her hand and said, "Don't bother Brother Zhao. I'll go."
Zhou Mingxuan shook his head, “Xiaoxue, you can’t do this.
You only know Sister Jin in town, and you have nowhere to stay.
This matter still needs Haozi to do it. "
After Zhou Mingxuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Junhao and said, "Haozi, the day after tomorrow, rent a bullock cart from the production team and go to the town to pick us up.
Tell the monkey to borrow his house for a while, and you prepare lunch and wait for us there.
We picked someone up at Xishi Railway Station at around ten o'clock. It was not yet lunch time, so we took a bus to Linshan Town. Given the current road conditions, it would probably take until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
I didn’t have lunch, and there was no food in the state-owned restaurant at that time. I couldn’t stay hungry forever.
It's so cold, and we can't eat cold dry food. Our adults are fine, but there's little Tiger, and his stomach can't take it."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she really couldn't do it.
Although she had space and could always bring out hot food, she didn't have a good excuse.
As for Sister Jin, although they are friends, they are not familiar enough to borrow her kitchen.
As for Old Mrs. Guo, forget it.
Given her current status, she dare not contact her openly.
Every time I delivered food to her, I avoided other people and didn't dare to bring so many people to her house in a high-profile manner.
"Mingxuan, you are very thoughtful. I almost forgot about this." Wang Xiulan said gratefully.
Liu Jingxue also nodded. "I really can't prepare hot meals for them in town at that time. I really have to trouble Brother Zhao."
Zhao Junhao patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Then I'll go with you.
Otherwise, if Uncle Liu saw that it was my eldest brother's family who were being received but asked you, Brother Zhao, to come forward, I'm afraid he would be suspicious." Liu Jingxue said.
Zhao Junhao waved his hand, "There's no need to be so troublesome.
The weather is so cold, Xiaoxue, there's no need for you to go with him and suffer the cold.
Brother Jianjun lives with us, and everyone in the production team has known about it for a long time.
He has lived with us for so long, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that we must have a good relationship.
In this case, I was asked by Brother Jianjun to rent a bullock cart to pick them up from the town, and no one else could say anything.
Besides, Mingxuan is also there, so there is nothing for people to say."
Liu Jingxue thought about it and felt that this was true. There was really no need for her to follow.
Besides, the oxcart is only so big and can’t seat so many people, so she’d better not join in the fun.
Thinking of her sister-in-law and Xiao Huzi, who might not be able to stand the cold, Liu Jingxue quickly reminded them.
"Second brother, go to Xi City and bring back a set of thick cotton-padded clothes and trousers for each of them, as well as leather boots.
After receiving them, ask them to change into them quickly.
I suspect the cotton-padded jackets they prepared are not thick enough to withstand the cold here."
Wang Xiulan nodded quickly, "Xiaoxue is right, I have already prepared the things, Jianjun, remember to take them when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll definitely remember it."
"Brother Zhao, Uncle Liu must have a lot of hay at home. When the time comes, ask him to put some more in the ox cart and bring two quilts.
When you come back, wrap yourself in a quilt and you won’t be cold.”
Zhao Junhao assured, "Don't worry, Xiaoxue, I will arrange everything."
“Cooking at someone else’s house is always a little awkward.
I will prepare the meals in advance.
Junhao, you go over here, take the food, and heat it up in someone's kitchen." Wang Xiulan reminded him.
Liu Weihua reminded, "Xiu Lan, remember to prepare more food.
The road is difficult to travel on, so Junhao and Lao Liu may have to leave early and won’t be able to have lunch at home.
Prepare their meals as well, and let them heat them up and eat first."
"No problem, that's what I planned," Wang Xiulan agreed.
Liu Weihua looked at Liu Jianjun again, "I won't say anything about Mingxuan and Junhao, they are all family members.
It’s just that the coachman, Old Liu, has to make such a trip in such a cold weather. Jianjun, remember not to treat him unfairly.
Give more money and buy something for his grandson."
Liu Jianjun nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I will arrange it.
I will not treat people unfairly."
Liu Jingxue reminded, "When the time comes, drive the ox cart to my place.
My sister-in-law and Xiaohuzi will have to stay with me for a few days.
Besides, my place is close to here. Once Uncle Liu leaves and no one pays attention to this place, we can come here.
My uncle and aunt must be eager to see their grandson."
"Child, you are not allowed to meet your son and daughter-in-law when your uncle and I want to." Wang Xiulan said deliberately when she saw Liu Jingxue making fun of her and her husband.
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Sons and daughters-in-law are not as good as my eldest grandson.
Now that you have little tiger, how can you, aunt, still remember your son and daughter-in-law?
I'm afraid he would go straight to Little Tiger and hold him tightly and not let go."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Mr. Zou also joked, "That may really be the case. Xiulan may not even be able to see her son and daughter-in-law by then."
"I think so too," said Mr. Wu.
Wang Xiulan said uncomfortably, "Why are you two making fun of me just like Xiaoxue?"
There was laughter in the room again.
Liu Weihua looked at all this and felt very happy thinking that his family would be reunited the day after tomorrow.
Life is becoming more and more hopeful, and things will definitely get better in the future.
