Back in Guangcheng this time, between having fun, attending the wedding banquets and running errands, ten days had gone by. Cheng Su, after all, still had her studies, so she had to return to Qing City.
She took Xiao Qi and the family to the Cheng family home to say goodbye, brought along some local specialties and such, and after two days of rocking on the train, they were back in Qing City.
As soon as they walked out of the Qing City train station, it started to snow. The north wind was biting. Cheng Su shifted Qi Xiaoqi around to her front, pulled the hood of his clothes up over his head, then took a little wool blanket and wrapped him up tight.
The weather was cold and they had a lot of things with them, so Cheng Su didn’t bother trying to save money. She hailed two taxis and rode all the way to the gate of the compound.
Thankfully Qing City had developed rapidly these past few years; there were a lot more taxis in the city now, which made things easier for the residents. Of course, the price was a bit on the high side, but for someone like Cheng Su, who would never shortchange herself, no matter how expensive it was, it couldn’t compare to being comfortable.
Especially with their group: either not-yet-one-year-old babies or people over fifty, and the weather so bad—if anything happened to them, no amount of money could make up for it.
"Qing City and Guangcheng really can’t be compared in terms of cold. I think Qing City is much colder," Mother Cheng said, rubbing her hands.
Cheng Su smiled. That was heaven looking out for them. They’d had good weather the whole time in Guangcheng; otherwise, if it had rained, they probably would’ve been clamoring to come back to Qing City.
Qi Xiaoqi had already fallen asleep. Cheng Su settled him in the room to continue sleeping, then called Qi Taiguo to let him know they’d arrived safely.
It was already three or four in the afternoon by then. Cheng Su boiled a kettle of hot water, bundled herself up again, and got ready to go to the farmers’ market to buy ingredients for dinner.
Mother Cheng said, "It’s already this late, and it’s snowing outside. How about you don’t go? Just ask Taiguo to get a few portions of food from the cafeteria and we’ll make do with that? Or we can just cook up some noodles."
It really was too cold outside.
