Little Yueyue looked at the people coming and going around curiously, and asked Zhou Ziwen some questions from time to time, such as why some people carry so much luggage and what is in those luggage.
Zhou Ziwen patiently answered them one by one, causing a smile to gradually appear on little Yueyue's face.
Xiao Xuanxuan was in Chen Qiaoyi's arms and was attracted by the lively scene around her, neither crying nor making trouble.
He stretched out his little hand and pointed at a stall selling snacks in the distance, babbling.
Chen Qiaoyi got up with a smile and went to buy some biscuits for Xiao Xuanxuan, who happily ate them.
Chen Shiying watched Zhou Ziwen interact with the children, and her heart was filled with warmth.
She knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered, as long as they were together as a family, there would be no obstacles that they could not overcome.
She gently held Zhou Ziwen's hand. Zhou Ziwen turned his head and smiled at her, saying nothing.
The train slowly pulled into the station and the crowd began to surge. Zhou Ziwen's family followed the flow of people onto the train and found their seats.
The seats were a little crowded, but they didn't care.
Zhou Ziwen put the luggage away so that Chen Qiaoyi and the children could sit more comfortably.
The train started and the scenery outside the window gradually receded.
Chen Qiaoyi looked out the window, silently praying for her parents' health and looking forward to the next time they get together.
Chen Shiying leaned on Zhou Ziwen's shoulder, closed her eyes, and her thoughts drifted away.
She thought of every bit of her time in Hangzhou, the warm moments with her parents, and the happy days she spent with Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi.
Little Yueyue was quickly attracted by the movement of the train. She lay by the window and looked at the changing scenery outside, exclaiming in exclamation from time to time.
Zhou Ziwen looked at little Yueyue's innocent appearance, and his heart was filled with love and pity.
He secretly vowed to work hard to let the children have a better life, receive a good education, and become promising people.
On the way, little Yueyue got tired from playing and fell asleep in Zhou Ziwen's arms.
Zhou Ziwen gently adjusted his position to make little Yueyue sleep more comfortably.
Chen Qiaoyi also coaxed Xiao Xuanxuan to sleep, and after a while, both children fell asleep.
The train continued to travel, and after a day and night of journey, it finally slowly arrived at Sijiucheng Railway Station.
The temperature in Sijiucheng is relatively low, and it snowed two days ago. The whole city is covered in silver, like a kingdom of ice and snow.
When Zhou Ziwen and his family walked out of the train station, the biting cold wind blew in their faces, carrying the smell of snowflakes.
Little Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan shrank their necks due to the cold wind. Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi, and Chen Shiying hurriedly wrapped the children in scarves and cotton coats.
Despite the biting cold wind, the hearts of Zhou Ziwen's family are full of eagerness to return home.
They stopped at the exit of the station, packed their bags, and then stepped into the world of ice and snow.
Zhou Ziwen carried heavy luggage, but still walked briskly.
Behind him, Chen Shiying was holding Xiao Yueyue, and Chen Qiaoyi was holding Xiao Xuanxuan, following closely behind Zhou Ziwen.
Snowflakes fell in large numbers, falling on their shoulders and hair, like winter elves dancing.
Little Yueyue was sleeping soundly in Chen Shiying's arms, her pink face flushed by the cold wind, and her long eyelashes still hung with some snowflakes, just like the sleeping beauty in the fairy tale.
Chen Shiying bowed her body slightly, trying to shield little Yueyue from the cold wind. Her eyes were full of tenderness and love. From time to time, she lowered her head to look at the child in her arms, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
Xiao Xuanxuan in Chen Qiaoyi's arms was also immersed in sleep, and her little hands were still holding a small biscuit tightly, as if she was reluctant to let go of this delicious food in her sleep.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen saw a human-powered tricycle parked on the side of the road, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the price. After the negotiation was completed, he put the luggage in the car, then carefully took little Yueyue from Chen Shiying's arms, let her and Xiao Xuanxuan lie side by side next to the luggage, and covered the children with cotton clothes.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also got into the car. Zhou Ziwen sat beside the car and said to the driver: "Master, please hurry up, we are in a hurry."
The driver responded and pedaled hard. The tricycle moved forward slowly on the snow, the cold wind howling past my ears.
Soon, the tricycle turned into a familiar alley.
The alley was quiet except for the sound of wheels pressing through the snow.
Zhou Ziwen jumped out of the car, paid the fare, then took his luggage and went home with the two sisters.
Only Zhou's mother is at home, Zhou's father and the second sister have all gone to work.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen and the others coming back, Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised smile broke out on her face.
She quickly put down her work and hurried over to meet him.
"Oh, why did you come back suddenly without telling me in advance!" Zhou's mother said excitedly, with a hint of anger in her voice.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "Mom, we want to give you a surprise!"
Zhou's mother didn't bother to answer, and hurriedly walked to Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, reaching out to hold the child.
"Quick, let me see my babies."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying carefully handed Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan to Zhou's mother. Zhou's mother took them gently, her eyes full of love.
"Hey, you must be exhausted from this journey. Look at this little face that is red from the cold."
She said distressedly, gently caressing the children's cheeks with her hands.
Little Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan moved in Zhou Ma's arms, seeming to feel the familiar breath, and fell asleep again.
Zhou's mother walked into the house with her child in her arms, and kept mumbling: "I'm back now. Your favorite food is ready at home."
Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi, and Chen Shiying followed behind and walked into the warm room.
A familiar smell filled the room, and the fire was burning brightly, making people feel particularly warm.
"Mom, how are you and dad doing while we are away from home?" Chen Qiaoyi asked with concern.
"Okay, you don't have to worry. How are you doing in Hangzhou?"
Zhou Ma answered while busy pouring hot water for them.
Zhou Ziwen took the hot water and took a sip, feeling the warmth flowing from his throat to the bottom of his heart.
He smiled and said to Zhou's mother: "Mom, we are doing well in Hangzhou, and we get along very well with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. When I come back this time, I also brought some Hangzhou specialties for you and dad to try."
With that said, he got up to get his luggage, took out several packages of carefully selected tea, snacks and other specialties and handed them to Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou took the special product and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits. "You kids are always so considerate. Come on, sit down for a while and have a good chat with mom."
Everyone sat around the stove. Chen Shiying gently held Zhou's mother's hand and said, "Mom, when we go back this time and see that our parents are in good health, we are relieved. We are always thinking about you and your father over there. ”
Zhou's mother gently patted Chen Shiying's hand and said, "I'm very happy that you can think of us. By the way, tell your mother if you have encountered anything interesting in Hangzhou."
So, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying told Zhou Ma their experiences in Hangzhou, including visiting the West Lake and tasting local food.
Zhou's mother listened with great interest and laughed heartily from time to time. (End of chapter)
