"Not bad, no matter what, it's an iron rice bowl." Shen Yuping looked at Shi Jianxin and said.

"Iron rice bowl?" Shi Jianxin shook his head and said, "I may have smashed this iron rice bowl at some point."

"Uh!" Shen Yuping was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, who will know about this in the future! Don't talk about me, talk about you!"

"Me!" Shen Yuping thought for a while and said, "I don't know yet. I should join the unit."

Hearing what Shen Yuping said, Shi Jianxin shook his head and said, "Sure enough, we are the same people but different fates!"

"You're not bad! You're talking about someone else." Fangyuan patted Shi Jianxin and said.

"Captain, what about you? What are you going to do when you go back?" Shen Yuping asked.

"Me! I guess I can do some small business! Make some money."

"Doing business? Aren't we not allowed to do business?" Shi Jianxin said with a frown.

"If you don't give in now, it doesn't mean you won't give in in the future!"

"That's true. To be honest, Captain, you are really suitable for business." Shi Jianxin said in agreement.

"I can't help it, I can't do anything else!" Fang Yuan shrugged.

While Fangyuan and the others were chatting, the train started.

After the train started, Fangyuan opened his bag and took out some snacks. Everyone ate snacks and chatted at the same time.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the train pulled into the provincial capital railway station, and the three people quickly got off the train.

"Captain, please go to my house and spend the night to thank me! Come over after dinner every morning," Shen Yuping said.

"I said Shen Yuping, you should go to my house!" Shi Jianxin came over and took Fangyuan's arm and said.

"I said it's okay for you two. I'd better buy tickets first. If there are tickets for tonight, I'll leave today. If not, I'll find a hotel to stay for one night."

"No, captain, how can I let you stay in a hotel when you are here? If Zhao Yang and others find out about this, why don't they scold me!" Shi Jianxin said.

"Why are you scolding you? Besides, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who else will know."

"That won't work. It's not a matter of not knowing." Shi Jianxin shook his head quickly.

"Okay, let's go see if there are any tickets first."

"Yeah! Let's go together."

In this way, Fangyuan, Shi Jianxin and Shen Yuping came to the ticket office together.

"Hello! Is there another train to the Imperial Capital today?" Fangyuan took out a letter of introduction and handed it over to ask.

"No more today. There will be one at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Eight o'clock!" Fang Yuan frowned.

"Yes, the earliest departure is at eight o'clock."

"Okay then! Give me one at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Fangyuan handed in the money and the letter of introduction.

The conductor glanced at the letter of introduction, then looked up at Fangyuan and said: "Please wait a moment, I will issue you a ticket."

Although conductors usually keep their eyes high above their heads, it depends on who they meet. If they meet ordinary people, it goes without saying that even ordinary cadres will ignore them.

But she would not dare to offend someone who sat on a sleeper berth, even if it was a hard sleeper.

"Your ticket, this is your money, please keep it."

"Thanks!"

Fangyuan took the tickets and money, looked back at Shi Jianxin and Shen Yuping and said, "Look, I won't go at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"No, Captain, it's eight o'clock! We have plenty of time." Shi Jianxin said quickly.

"Yes, captain, don't worry, I will definitely not delay your ride." Shen Yuping also said.

Fangyuan scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm afraid it will be too much trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble, let's go, captain, to my house." Shi Jianxin said.

"Why should I go to your house? If you want to go to my house, you are going to my house."

"Why?" Shi Jianxin looked at Shen Yuping and asked.

"Let me ask you, where do you live?"

"Uh!" Shi Jianxin was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Everyone left each other's addresses, and it was normal for Shen Yuping to know where Shi Jianxin lived.

"Your home is so far away from the train station. Are you sure that the captain can catch the train at eight o'clock tomorrow?" Shen Yuping asked again.

"this……"

"Okay, forget about this and that, let's go to my house! Wen's house is relatively close to here, and my house has more rooms."

Hearing what Shen Yuping said, Shi Jianxin touched his nose and said, "Okay then! I won't snatch this from you, but I will send the captain over."

"Let's go."

Fangyuan was also helpless! To be honest, he really didn't want to go, especially to a girl's house, but he also knew that it was impossible for him not to go today.

So I had no choice but to follow the two people.

At this time, there are no buses. Fortunately, Shen Yuping's family lives not far from here, and it only takes about half an hour to walk.

The train station is in the center of the city, and Shen Yuping's family also lives in the center of the city, so they are not far from each other.

This is a large courtyard, and there are people guarding the door. Of course, they are not soldiers, but this already explains the problem.

The three people went in, and the gatekeeper did not stop them. Soon, under the leadership of Shen Yuping, the three people arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.

It was dark in the small courtyard in the middle of winter. It seemed that Shen Yuping's family did not know that she was coming back.

Also, although they know that Shen Yuping will come back soon, they don't know what day it will be. This is normal because communication is not developed now.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Shen Yuping knocked on the door a few times and shouted: "Mom, Dad, I'm back."

As soon as Shen Yuping finished speaking, the lights in the room turned on, and then there was a ringing sound, and the door to the hall was quickly opened.

A couple in their fifties came out of the house. Needless to say, they must be Shen Yuping's parents.

"Girl!" Shen Yuping's mother shouted before she even opened the door.

"Mom, it's me."

The door opened quickly, and Shen Yuping's mother came up and hugged Shen Yuping.

"Ahem!" Shen Yuping's father pretended to cough a few times, which meant to tell the mother and daughter that there was someone else next to them.

Hearing her father coughing, Shen Yuping still didn't understand what was going on. She quickly let go of her mother and said, "Mom and Dad, let me introduce to you. This is our captain Fangyuan. Like me, he is also returning to the city this time."

"Oh! You are Fangyuan! Thank you! Thank you!" Shen Yuping's mother came up and took Fangyuan's hand and said.

"Uh! This..." Fangyuan was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Yuping said it when she wrote back, saying that you are omnipotent and that you have not let her go hungry once in the past few years." At this time, Shen Yuping's father came up and took Fangyuan's hand and said.

"Ah! This!" Fang Yuan scratched his head with his other hand.

"Mom and Dad, this is Shi Jianxin, he is also from the local area, and again it is the three of us who came back together."

"Hello, uncle and aunt!" Shi Jianxin said quickly.

"Okay, okay, come in quickly, haven't you eaten yet? Let your aunt cook you something to eat."

"No, uncle, it's so late, so there's no need to bother." Fangyuan said quickly.

"No trouble, no trouble. You go in first and I'll cook for you."

"real……"

Before Fangyuan could finish speaking, Shen Yuping interrupted him and said: "Captain, let my mother do it! I will go to help in a while."

"Come on, come on, please take a seat." At this time, a group of people came to the main room.

This house also has three rooms, but it is not an ordinary brick house, but similar to the house where Xu's family lived.

It looks like three rooms from the outside, but it's very big inside. To put it bluntly, the house is relatively deep. The one on the east side alone has two bedrooms and a bathroom.

"Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, coming here is just like coming home." After saying that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the table next to him and said, "Would you like to smoke?"

"Uncle, we can't."

"It won't be good, and I don't smoke much." After saying this, Shen Yuping's father put down the cigarette.

Although she had been away for four years, Shen Yuping was still very familiar with this home. She quickly found tea leaves and brewed a pot of tea.

First, they each poured a cup of tea, and then said: "Captain, Shi Jianxin, you guys chat with my dad first, and I'll go help my mom cook."

"Oh! Okay."

After Shen Yuping went to the kitchen, Dad Shen picked up the tea and said, "Here, drink tea."
