Zhou Chaoyang placed his luggage and said to Zhou Ziwen with a smile: "Brother Zhou, we are lucky this time. We bought a sleeper ticket, so we can be more comfortable along the way."
Zhou Ziwen said gratefully: "Chaoyang, thanks to you, otherwise this journey would be really uncomfortable."
Chen Qiaoyi also smiled and said: "Yes, Chaoyang, thank you so much."
Zhou Chaoyang patted his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Brother Zhou and I are brothers, and we should take care of each other."
Little Yueyue climbed up and down on the berth excitedly, looking at everything around her curiously.
Xiao Xuanxuan was sitting on the bunk, playing with a small toy.
Chen Shiying looked at the children and said with a smile: "Yueyue, Xuanxuan, be obedient on the train and don't run around."
Little Yueyue nodded obediently: "Auntie, I will be obedient."
The train started slowly, and there was a slight shaking in the carriage.
Zhou Ziwen sat by the window, watching the scenery outside the window gradually recede, feeling filled with emotion.
He thought about every detail of his visit home. The care of his family and the company of his friends made him feel extremely warm.
Zhou Chaoyang sat across from him, took out a deck of playing cards, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, let's play cards for a while to kill some time."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Okay, it will take a long time anyway."
So they started playing poker.
After playing cards for a while, little Yueyue felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in Chen Qiaoyi's arms.
Chen Qiaoyi gently stroked her hair, her eyes full of love.
Zhou Chaoyang looked at little Yueyue and said softly: "Brother Zhou, this child is growing up so fast and is becoming more and more sensible."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "Yes, looking at them, I feel full of motivation. I must work hard to let them live a good life."
As the train moved forward, the scenery outside the window kept changing.
The bustling city gradually turned into a quiet countryside, with fields and mountains passing before our eyes.
On the way, they had lunch in a dining car.
Although the meal was simple, everyone ate it with gusto.
Xiao Xuanxuan playfully spread the food all over his face, making everyone laugh.
After the meal, Xiao Xuanxuan also fell asleep.
Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were sitting on the bunk, chatting softly.
"Chaoyang, you are relatively well-informed. Have you heard anything at home during this time?"
Zhou Ziwen asked.
"What news?" Zhou Chaoyang asked puzzledly.
"Is it about our educated youth returning to the city?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
It was already seven or seven years ago, and he estimated that there should be some rumors about the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Considering Zhou Chaoyang's family situation, if there is any news, he should know it as soon as possible.
Zhou Chaoyang frowned slightly after hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Brother Zhou, I didn't pay much attention to this news before. But if you say so, I can help you inquire after I go back."< br>
Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Sorry to trouble you, Chaoyang. If there is any trouble, we should be prepared in advance."
Chen Qiaoyi said on the side: "It would be great if we can really return to the city. The children can also receive a better education."
Chen Shiying also agreed: "Yes, and after returning to the city, we will also have more development opportunities. However, I don't know what the policy for returning to the city will be."
They are all educated youths, so of course they know the hardships in the countryside.
It would be great if I could go back to the city.
"Brother Zhou, do you want to go back to the city? Do you want me to help you find a way?" Zhou Chaoyang said.
Based on the situation of his family, there is no problem in arranging for a few people to return to the city. "Forget it, I'm just asking." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
He also knew that Zhou Chaoyang had the ability to bring him back to the city.
But he is not in a hurry. Anyway, the college entrance examination will resume in a few months. By then, he will be able to go back in good faith.
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen's expression and felt a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that Zhou Ziwen always had his own ideas. Since he was not in a hurry, he must have his own plan.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, if you change your mind, tell me at any time." Zhou Chaoyang said.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying looked at each other. Although they also hoped to return to the city as soon as possible, they believed in Zhou Ziwen's decision more.
"Ziwen, do you have any plans?" Chen Qiaoyi asked softly.
Zhou Ziwen smiled slightly, looked at them and said, "Haha, don't worry, you will know later."
Zhou Ziwen definitely couldn't tell the news about the resumption of the college entrance examination.

After all, Zhou Chaoyang didn't even hear the news, and he shouldn't know.
So, it’s better not to say it.
The train continued to move, and the scenery outside the window was like a moving picture.
Zhou Ziwen leaned against the window, his thoughts drifting away.
He thought about every bit of his life in Dabazi Village, from being uncomfortable when he first arrived to now being as close to the villagers as one family. He also had a deep affection for this land.
Zhou Ziwen's eyes were soft, and his heart was full of expectations for the future.
He knew that although Dabazi Village gave him the warmth of home, the city could provide better educational resources for children and more opportunities for families.
He already had a plan in mind and was just waiting for the time to come.
Time passed quietly amidst the roar of the train.
The chatter between Zhou Ziwen's family and Zhou Chaoyang gradually became quieter, and everyone was immersed in their own thoughts.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan fell asleep quietly, their breathing was even and calm, carefree.
As night falls, the lights in the carriage are soft and warm.
Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi, and Chen Shiying took turns taking care of the children to ensure that they slept comfortably.
Zhou Chaoyang took out some snacks and drinks and distributed them to everyone.
As the night deepens, the car gradually becomes quiet.
Zhou Ziwen gently covered Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan with quilts, then lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
The mountains and rivers of Dabazi Village and the smiling faces of the simple villagers appeared in his mind.
He knows that no matter what the future holds, that time will be a precious memory in his life.
Early the next morning, the train slowly entered Ping'an County next door.
After arriving at the station, Zhou Ziwen got off the bus with his family and took a deep breath of fresh air. Although the morning air was slightly cool, it felt particularly refreshing.
He stretched his body, which had been sitting for a long time on the train, and then looked back at the children who were still rubbing their eyes.
"Dad, are we here?" Little Yueyue asked in a daze.
"Yes, we have arrived in Ping'an County and will be home soon." Zhou Ziwen replied gently.
Xiao Xuanxuan was also awakened by the movement around him. He opened his eyes wide and looked around curiously.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying arranged the children's clothes to ensure that they would not be blown by the cold wind.
After coming out of the station, they had breakfast at the hotel, then came to the station and prepared to take the bus home. (End of chapter)
