Chapter 119 Return to Hometown
A month later, Sheng Zeyan returned from his mission and was already at the deputy regimental level. Regiment Commander Wu, who was originally in charge of him, was transferred from their regiment to take over Huang Zhong's Eighth Regiment because of this incident.
Sheng Zeyan was directly promoted to deputy commander of their regiment, but the position of commander was temporarily vacant.
There wasn't a single day in this month when Bai Youyou didn't worry about him. Only after she finally saw him did she feel completely relieved.
After Sheng Zeyan came back from his mission this time, Hao Tian happily gave him a half-month vacation so that he could have a good rest at home.
Bai Youyou was happy when she learned that Shengzeyan had a half-month holiday.
Holding Sheng Zeyan in his arms, he said:
"Honey, it's great that you can rest for so long this time. Why don't we go home? Half a month is just enough time for us to go home and have fun. How about we go home?"
Sheng Zeyan hugged his happy wife and said with a smile:
"Okay, but do you have time?"
Bai Youyou hugged him and nodded happily: "Yes, yes, we have two days left before the holiday, and I can ask Hao Jiajia to take my classes for two days, so that I can go home with you early."
Sheng Zeyan held her and sat on the sofa, looking at her, "Okay, then I'll go buy a ticket tomorrow and see if I can leave tomorrow. If not, then I'll leave the day after tomorrow."
"Well, okay, you go buy the ticket tomorrow, and I'll prepare things at home." Bai Youyou's eyes lit up with joy whenever she thought about going home.
Seeing her excitement, Sheng Zeyan also wanted to go home.
The next day, Sheng Zeyan went to the station early to buy a ticket.
However, after arriving at the station, I was told that tickets were in short supply in recent days and the earliest I could buy was a ticket for three days later.
Sheng Zeyan returned home helplessly and told Bai Youyou the news.
Bai Youyou was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up, "It's okay, then we can leave a day later, and we can prepare more things for our families.
It just so happens that Jia Jia doesn’t have to teach me these two days.”
"Well, I'm glad you're not sad." Sheng Zeyan touched her head and looked at her straight.
"Hehe, don't feel lost. I'll be happy as long as I can go back." Bai Youyou hugged Sheng Zeyan's waist with a smile, and looked up at him in his arms.
"it is good."
So in the following time, after Bai Youyou finished her class, she and Sheng Zeyan were busy purchasing various specialties and gifts.
On the day of departure, they arrived at the station, carrying their bags. The train slowly started moving, and Bai Youyou looked out the window at the scenery receding, her heart filled with joy at the prospect of arriving home.
Fortunately, the journey home was peaceful this time. After a bumpy ride, I finally arrived at my destination.
Long before they returned home, Sheng Zeyan used the army's phone to call Baijia Village and informed them of the time they would return and the train schedule.
When they left the station, Bai Wen, Mao Xiaoling and Bai Wei had been waiting outside the station for a long time since early morning. When they saw them return, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
"Youyou, Youyou, here we are." After seeing Bai Youyou and the others coming out of the station, Bai Wei jumped and waved happily and called them.
When Bai Youyou heard someone calling her name, she turned around and pulled Sheng Zeyan towards the voice.
After seeing who called her, she was happy.
"Brother, brother, I'm here."
Bai Wei ran up to them, and Bai Youyou hugged Bai Wei and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Brother, why are you here? Aren't you going to work today? You don't know how much I miss you."
Bai Wei touched her head and said gently:
"We miss you too. You don't know how happy grandma and mom and dad are at home that you're back."
At this time, Bai Wen also came over with Mao Xiaoling.
"Little sister, you are finally back."
Only after hearing Bai Wen's voice did Bai Youyou come out of Bai Wei's arms and look at Bai Wen.
"Brother, I'm back." After saying that, he looked at Mao Xiaoling beside him and asked, "Brother, this is my sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Bai Youyou, your little sister. Nice to meet you."
Mao Xiaoling smiled gently and said, "Youyou, I've heard Awen talk about you for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a likable girl."
"Hey, big brother, you picked up a treasure, my sister-in-law is so nice! By the way, sister-in-law, this is Sheng Zeyan, my husband, your brother-in-law." Bai Youyou pulled Sheng Zeyan over and said to Mao Xiaoling
Sheng Zeyan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Bai Youyou who was so happy. "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Sheng Zeyan."
Mao Xiaoling looked at Sheng Zeyan and said gently:
"Hello, hello, let's go! Don't just stand here."
Afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries, and Sheng Zeyan distributed the bags he had brought with him. Bai Wen took the things and said, "You two, why did you come back so late and bring so many things?"
Bai Youyou said happily: "Of course I have to bring it, this is a little gift from us, how can I not bring it!
By the way, big brother, second brother, how are your work going? Is it okay? "
Bai Wei replied: "Very good, you! You should worry less."
Bai Youyou kept chattering and asking questions along the way.
When they returned to Baijia Village, the villagers learned that they had returned and came to visit. Bai Youyou and Sheng Zeyan took out some snacks and shared them with the children in the village. The children surrounded them and happily called them uncle and aunt.
As soon as she entered the house, the Bai family surrounded her. Grandma held Bai Youyou's hand, tears in her eyes, and kept saying, "My dear granddaughter, you are finally back. Grandma, I missed you so much." Her parents also looked relieved.
Bai Youyou's eyes welled up again as she looked at the old woman who had always been so kind to her since she could remember. "Grandma, I miss you too. Are you okay?"
Just when Bai Youyou was hugging Wang Yanzi warmly.
Sheng Zeyan handed the things he brought to Bai Dayong one by one. Bai Dayong held the local specialties and gifts and smiled from ear to ear.
In the evening, the family sat together for dinner. The table was filled with hometown dishes, all of which tasted like what Bai Youyou had longed for. As she ate, Bai Youyou sighed, "Home-cooked food still tastes so good."
Sheng Zeyan also nodded in agreement. He looked at his family around him and his heart was filled with warmth.
After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air and chat. Bai Wen talked about the changes in the village and the new school.
Bai Youyou was very relieved to hear this. She leaned against Sheng Zeyan, looking at the stars in the sky, feeling extremely comfortable. Sheng Zeyan held her hand and whispered, "It's great to be back this time."
At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from afar, as if telling of the tranquility and peace of the village. Everyone was immersed in it, enjoying this wonderful moment of reunion.
The next day, Bai Youyou followed Sheng Zeyan back to Shengjia Village with a lot of bags.
After returning to the Sheng family, Bai Youyou looked at the tightly closed door and felt a little emotional. After knocking on the door, Zhang Rulai did not open it.
"Honey, Mom isn't home? Do you want to climb over the wall and take a look?"
Bai Youyou looked at the wall, which was not very high, and asked Sheng Zeyan.
Sheng Zeyan stood outside the courtyard wall and glanced inside. After seeing no one, he replied:
"Mom shouldn't be home. Come closer and I'll look inside. When I get in, give me the things you're carrying. I'll take them in and put them away, then we'll come out and look around the village together."
Bai Youyou obediently stood further away, and Sheng Zeyan easily climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
He stood at the foot of the wall, took the things from Bai Youyou's hand, put them in the house, and then turned it out again.
Then the two of them began to look for Zhang Ru in the village.
After a walk around, I found Zhang Ru working in the fields at the east end of the village.
Bai Youyou hurried over and shouted:
"Mom, we're back." Zhang Ru looked up after hearing the shout, stood up in surprise, patted the dirt off his body, and said with a smile:
"Oh, why didn't you tell me you were back?"
Sheng Zeyan scratched his head and said, "I couldn't reach you when I called you before."
"Come on, go home quickly, mom will make something delicious for you." Zhang Ru hurried out from the field, holding Bai Youyou's hand and walking home.
After returning home, Bai Youyou and Sheng Zeyan took out the White Rabbit milk candies they brought and distributed them to the people who came to see them.
When the relatives and neighbors of the Sheng family heard that they had returned, they all came to visit. Everyone gathered together, laughing and talking happily.
Bai Youyou spent the whole day chatting with Zhang Ru about family matters and talking about life outside.
Sheng Zeyan discussed farmland matters with the village elders.
As night falls, the family sits in the yard, the moonlight shining on everyone's face.
Bai Youyou took a deep breath and felt the tranquility and warmth of home. This trip back home was filled with strong family affection, which was really the best thing.
