Chapter 207 Arrival in the Provincial Capital
He Yong'an, who was far away in the provincial capital, had been waiting anxiously for the past few days. Finally, on this evening, he heard a notification from the security office that his wife and two children were looking for him.
He had just finished class and, upon hearing the announcement, felt a surge of emotion, thinking, "Finally, we've arrived."
He greeted the person next to him and quickly ran towards the door.
Outsiders are prohibited from entering the provincial Party School unless someone from within comes forward to claim it.
At this moment, Feng Qingqing had already brought the two children to the security room.
Because their train was delayed, they didn't arrive at the provincial capital's train station until after 2 p.m.
After getting off the train, she saw that her two children were in good spirits. It was still early, and if she went directly to the Party School, it might delay He Yong'an's studies.
Therefore, she planned to take her two children for a walk in the nearby park.
She bought two lunches on the train at noon, and the children ate well and weren't hungry now.
Around four o'clock, she held her child's hands and slowly walked towards the bus stop.
After waiting for about five minutes, I boarded the bus to the Party School in the provincial capital.
The two little ones looked at the streets of the provincial capital from the car, full of curiosity about everything.
He kept asking questions:
"Mom, there are so many tall buildings here!"
"Mom, there are so many people here!"
The little ones kept asking questions, and time quickly passed as she communicated with them.
After getting off the car, it took about ten minutes to walk to the entrance of the Party School.
Feng Qingqing checked the time; it was already 5 p.m., so He Yong'an should have finished class by now.
Inside the security room was an elderly man who looked to be in his fifties.
At that moment, the old man was wearing reading glasses and looking at the documents.
Hearing the knock, I took off my glasses and looked up to see a young woman with two small children. She looked me up and down for a few moments before speaking with some confusion:
"Are you here to find someone, young lady?"
After saying that, he thought to himself: Judging from this, this must be a family member of one of the students.
You should know that their provincial capital party school receives people from different systems all over the province every year for study and training.
Occasionally, family members or relatives will come to visit.
All that could be heard was Feng Qingqing's clear voice:
"Sir, hello. I'm from Nanjiang County looking for my child's father. His name is He Yong'an, and he's currently studying at this Party School. Could you please pass on his message?"
Upon hearing that it was He Yong'an, the old man suddenly realized who it was.
These past few days, He Yong'an was worried that his mother and children would be turned away at the gate, so he made a special conversation with the gatekeeper and even gave the old man, who loved to smoke, a pack of cigarettes.
He mentioned that his wife and children might be coming over in the next few days, and asked him to please pass on the message as soon as possible.
Hearing the girl say that, he immediately understood.
He quickly and enthusiastically spoke up, smiling broadly:
"Oh, it's him. Come in, come in. That kid told me about it before."
I just didn't expect the mother and her two children to come over today.
But upon closer inspection, it's quite remarkable that this girl is leading two such small children.
We drove all the way from Nanjiang County, which is neither far nor close to the provincial capital.
He opened the door and let the mother and her two children sit and wait in the security room.
He then notified He Yong'an to come to the security room via the loudspeaker.
Not long after the broadcast, about six or seven minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard.
The two little ones had rested well and were looking around the guard room, unable to stop for a moment.
Suddenly seeing the door open, the two girls turned around at the same time and looked out. Seeing their father, whom they hadn't seen for half a month, they were stunned for a moment, then happily rushed into his arms, shouting:
"Dad, Dad."
He Yong'an first glanced quickly at Feng Qingqing, then squatted down, hugged the two little ones into his arms, and kissed them both twice before speaking with a beaming smile:
"Oh, so these are Daddy's two darlings! Did Tuantuan and Yuanyuan miss Daddy?"
"I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to!"
How much do you want it?
Tuantuan spoke fluently and quickly answered first:
"I think, I want it most, I want it even more than my brother!"
Hearing her sister say that, Yuanyuan, not to be outdone, quickly replied:
"I want it the most, even more than my sister."
The two people next to them watched the three of them getting along with each other with smiles.
Seeing that the three men had finished laughing and joking, Feng Qingqing, carrying her luggage, stood up and greeted the old man in the security office:
"Then we'll head over there, sir. Thank you for your help earlier."
The old man smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, go ahead, go ahead."
The family of four then headed into the Party School.
The Party School at that time was not large, consisting of only a few buildings. People like He Yong'an, who came from other places to study, were usually arranged to stay in the Party School dormitory.
And it's a double room.
Therefore, Feng Qingqing could only stay at a guesthouse this time.
It was already past five in the evening. He Yong'an looked at the bundle that Feng Qingqing was carrying; it wasn't very big.
So they didn't put the food back in the dormitory, and instead took the mother and her three children directly to the Party School canteen to have dinner.
The cafeteria has just opened for lunch, and there are quite a lot of people there.
He Yong'an had only been at the Party School for two weeks and didn't know many people, but everyone noticed that two little kids of similar age had arrived.
I guessed they were visiting relatives from out of town, and they all greeted them with smiles and goodwill.
He Yong'an had Feng Qingqing lead the two children to a seat while he went to get the food.
Feng Qingqing watched as her two children chattered incessantly after seeing their father.
He Yong'an went to get the food, and the two of them were still incredibly excited.
She found a spot slightly against the wall and settled the two unusually lively little ones there.
Soon after, He Yong'an came over with a tray of food.
After sitting down, He Yong'an introduced the food in the Party School's canteen to Feng Qingqing:
"Come on, try the cooking of the Party School's head chef. I heard that the chef used to cook in a state-run restaurant in Beijing. He came back here to retire in his old age. He is very good at cooking. He just happened to make two of his signature dishes today."
Braised pork belly, braised fish in soy sauce, and today the cafeteria also offered hot and sour shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Although there seem to be many varieties, the quantity is actually not large, and the two of them won't waste any food.
Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, which the two little ones especially love.
Ever since the two of them were able to eat rice, they have especially loved this dish, and Feng Qingqing makes it every few days.
However, the two little ones are still young, so in addition to meals, He Yong'an also asks relatives and friends to exchange for milk powder coupons so that the two little ones can drink a cup of milk powder every day.
The two little ones have always been very healthy. Even during her pregnancy, Feng Qingqing drank some spring water from her space every day.
This also led to her two little ones being unusually active during her pregnancy, suggesting she had a good constitution and that her delivery was exceptionally smooth.
