Chapter 309 Farewell in Beijing
Chen Xiuting nodded vigorously, agreeing with Su Erqiang's approach.

"Luckily we didn't go to the south. It's too hot there, your second brother definitely wouldn't be able to stand it. Besides, the south is far from home, it would have been better to go to the north."

Su Nuannuan smiled and continued.

"Yes. I heard that the Third Military Region in the North is right next to Heilongjiang Province. It only takes half a day by train to get to Yuanhua, which is very convenient for going home."

Upon hearing that Su Erqiang was going to a place close to home, Chen Xiuting smiled.

She patted Su Erqiang on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Erqiang, go there and do your job well, and try to marry your wife as soon as possible."

Su Erqiang blushed with embarrassment.

Su Nuannuan smiled silently.

Then she took two wooden boxes out of her backpack.

The wooden boxes are long and narrow, and each box contains two porcelain jars.

Su Nuannuan handed the two wooden boxes to Su Erqiang and said.

"Second brother, these are ginseng slices that I prepared. You can bring them as a gift when you visit Ah Zui's house."

Although Su Nuannuan didn't know how far her best friend and her second brother had progressed.

However, Su Nuannuan overheard her second brother mentioning that it was Ah Zui who suggested he go to the Third Military Region in the North.

Upon hearing this news, Su Nuannuan knew that Azui and her second brother were safe.

Su Erqiang went to visit A ​​Zui's house, but Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun definitely wouldn't go.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan prepared gifts for the Shen family in advance. Su Nuannuan felt that the best gifts she could give were the medicinal herbs she grew in her space, among which ginseng was the most valuable and the most suitable for gifting.

Su Nuannuan had lost count of how many ginseng slices she had given away.

Chen Xiuting was already used to her little girl's extravagant spending. So, she wasn't surprised when her daughter produced so many ginseng slices.

Su Erqiang was a little embarrassed and hesitated before accepting the money.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiuting immediately smacked Su Erqiang on the head with a hammer.

"What are you standing there for? Take it now, and let your sister keep it."

Su Erqiang timidly accepted the two boxes.

However, he still thanked Su Nuannuan very sincerely.

"Nuan Nuan, thank you. Once I join the army and receive a stipend, just tell your second brother what you want to buy."

Su Nuannuan nodded, amused.

Su Nuannuan and Chen Xiuting gave Su Erqiang a few more instructions before leaving.

The next day, Su Nuannuan, Chu Mingzhou, and Chen Xiuting got up very early.

Chu Wenzhu, Ji Lan, Zhao Yalan, Ji Xiangjun... all came to see them off.

Among them, the one who would miss Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou the most is Comrade Chu Huaying.

Perhaps because her father was absent from her life growing up, Chu Huaying was closest to Chu Mingzhou. Chu Mingzhou played the role of a father figure in her life, accompanying her.

Of course, Chu Huaying was also reluctant to part with Su Nuannuan. When Chu Huaying was little, Su Nuannuan often fed him. It could be said that Su Nuannuan was Chu Huaying's favorite woman besides Zhao Yalan.

Su Nuannuan gently rubbed Chu Huaying's cheeks and said.

"Since you can't bear to leave me and your uncle, then you can come with us."

Chu Huaying immediately objected, turned around and hid behind Zhao Yalan, muttering in a low voice.

"I think I'll stay in Beijing and keep my mother company."

Despite being about the same height as Zhao Yalan, Chu Huaying is actually just a young boy and a serious mama's boy.

Su Nuannuan was just joking.

Their playful banter dispelled the sadness of parting.

Chu Wenzhu then stepped forward and gave her some instructions.

“When you get there, keep a low profile. If anyone causes you trouble, don’t be afraid. Even if I can’t handle it, your mother and grandfather will support you.”

Chu Wenzhu wasn't exaggerating. With Ji Xiangjun's connections, a simple phone call would surely get him some face.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou nodded.

Ji Lan held Chen Xiuting's hand, and at this moment, the usually strong woman's voice choked with emotion.

"Girl, I'm entrusting these two children to you."

Ji Lan felt most at ease entrusting Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou to Chen Xiuting. She knew that even if the Su family only cared about Su Nuannuan, they would still take good care of Chu Mingzhou.

Chen Xiuting patted her shoulder and said.

"Don't worry. I'll raise these two kids to be healthy and chubby. You won't even recognize them when you meet them next time."

Chen Xiuting's words immediately made the originally sad crowd laugh.

After saying their goodbyes, Su Nuannuan, Chu Mingzhou, and Chen Xiuting finally boarded the train.

The three of them were seated next to each other. Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou were seated by the window, where they could see the scenery outside.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou felt a little sad as they watched Chu Wenzhu and Ji Lan leave.

Just as Su Nuannuan was about to look away, she saw three people waving frantically at her from a distance. Su Nuannuan's eyes widened, she grabbed Chu Mingzhou's arm, pointed at the three people below, and said.

"Mingzhou, look, isn't that Fatty and the others?"

Chu Mingzhou looked in the direction Su Nuannuan was pointing and indeed saw three figures: one fat and two thin.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou opened the window even wider. Su Nuannuan even leaned half her body out, which startled Chen Xiuting, who immediately grabbed Su Nuannuan's waist, afraid that her daughter might fall out.

In the distance were Pang Pangpang, Zhou Menglu, and Sun Xiuhua, who had come to see Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou off.

Hong Xiu has already graduated. Otherwise, she would definitely be here today.

If there's one thing that made Su Nuannuan happiest in college, it's meeting Zhou Menglu and the others and becoming good friends with them.

Chu Mingzhou was also very happy. Although he didn't show his emotions outwardly, his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner excitement.

With Pang Pang's cover, Zhou Menglu and Sun Xiuhua successfully squeezed through the crowd and arrived at Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou's car window.

Then, Pang Pangpang arrived.

The three of them were panting heavily from exhaustion.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan grabbed two handfuls of strawberries from her spatial storage and handed them to the three of them.

"Hurry up and eat a few to quench your thirst."

The three of them accepted it without any hesitation.

Amidst envious and jealous glances from those around them, the three of them stuffed strawberries into their mouths.

After finishing the strawberries, the three of them looked at Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou with accusatory eyes.

Zhou Menglu was the first to speak, complaining.

“Nuan Nuan, Brother Chu, you’re leaving on such a big occasion, why didn’t you tell us? We could have come to see you off.”

Sun Xiuhua nodded vigorously and agreed.

"Yes, yes, you've gone too far!"

Pang Pang also chimed in.

“Especially you, Brother Chu, I’ve followed you for so many years, and you left Beijing without even saying goodbye. I’m so heartbroken.”

Perhaps because he spent so much time with Zhou Menglu, Pang Pangpang has learned to act pitiful and ingratiating.

Chu Mingzhou smiled helplessly.

"My fault."

Pang Pang found it rather strange when he first heard Chu Mingzhou admit his mistake.

Seeing Pang Pang endlessly wasting time, Zhou Menglu was the first to lose her temper.

She smacked Pang Pang on the back of the head, and then forcefully threw the large bag she was carrying in front of Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou.

The contents of the sack looked heavy and didn't come up. Fortunately, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou were strong, and the two of them worked together to pull it up.

Then, Sun Xiuhua also threw up a burlap sack she was carrying. Sun Xiuhua was stronger than Zhou Menglu, and she threw it directly into the window.

Seeing this, Pang Pangpang was not to be outdone. With the help of Zhou Menglu and Sun Xiuhua, he handed the sack to Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou.

After handing over everything she brought to Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou, Zhou Menglu clapped her hands and said.

"These are things the three of us prepared for you two. We hope you'll find them useful when you get there."

This was the first time Su Nuannuan had seen composure on Zhou Menglu's face. She smiled with relief. Su Nuannuan touched Zhou Menglu's hair and said...

"Yes, thank you for your farewell gift."

After Zhou Menglu finished speaking, Sun Xiuhua also spoke. However, her eyes were a little red.

"Nuan Nuan, Brother Chu, you must take good care of yourselves in Yuanhua. I will come to see you in Yuanhua after I have established myself in Haishi."

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou's eyes were also a little red, and they both nodded at the same time.

Pang Pang finally spoke, looking at the two of them with teary eyes.

"Nuan Nuan, Brother Chu, you must never forget me."

Just as Pang Pang finished speaking, the train's whistle blew as it started moving.

Even though Pang Pang and his two companions were reluctant, they had no choice but to retreat.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou watched the three people retreating, feeling very reluctant to part with them.

Su Nuannuan put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly.

"Keep trying! I believe we'll meet again someday!"

Three seconds after Su Nuannuan shouted, three neat shouts came from behind her.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou exchanged a glance, and then both laughed.

Chen Xiuting watched this scene with a faint smile in her eyes.
