Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 180 - 179: Husband and Wife Arrive in Beijing
Of course, it’s also because there were no high-speed trains at that time.
As for airplanes, during that era, they were not something ordinary people could afford to take.
So nowadays, when people travel far, most of them choose to take the green train, even though it’s rather slow.
Because Ningning is pregnant, this time Sheng Zexi took care of her with even more attention than the last time.
This time, nothing really happened.
Except in the middle of the journey, an elderly person had a heart attack.
The train staff urgently looked for a doctor, and Gu Jia Ning, believing that saving a life is a noble deed, used silver needles to bring the person back to life.
Other than that, nothing else occurred.
After 30 hours, the train finally arrived at Beijing station.
"Vice Commander Sheng..." As Sheng Zexi was still protecting Ningning as they exited the train, he immediately heard someone calling him.
He looked up and found it was Grandpa Sang’s attendant.
Sheng Zexi accompanied Ningning over, and the attendant saluted Sheng Zexi, "Vice Commander Sheng, Mr. Sang sent me to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
"Ningning, Grandpa sent someone to pick us up."
"Hmm."
The attendant drove a car, so as soon as they got off the train, they boarded the car.
The car carried them all the way to the compound.
The Sang Family, due to Grandpa Sang’s position, lived within the compound, with guards standing at the doors.
In the compound, most of the residents were researchers from the weapons institute and their families.
After checking in at the gate, the car drove inside and stopped in front of a two-story Western-style house.
Gu Jia Ning was just being helped out of the car by Sheng Zexi when she heard a slightly old but very gentle voice calling her.
"Ning girl..."
Gu Jia Ning looked up and saw Grandma Sang standing outside.
"Grandma~" Gu Jia Ning raised her hand to greet and smiled.
This smile seemed to unlock Grandma Sang, who then jogged towards Gu Jia Ning.
"Grandma, slow down." Sheng Zexi was shocked to see her jogging over, very surprised.
You know, in Sheng Zexi’s view, Grandma has always been gentle, graceful, and speaks softly, behaving elegantly at all times.
But at this moment, she was in such a hurry.
In fact, Sheng Zexi also knew that she was very happy to see them return.
But, Grandma is an elderly lady, and he was just worried she’d fall from hurrying.
If Grandma Sang had heard her grandson say that, she would surely grumble: I even scolded your father recently, where’s the elegance in that, of course I have to see my grandson’s wife.
Soon, Grandma Sang reached Gu Jia Ning, grabbed her hands, and her gaze was fixed on her, checking her up and down. Seeing Gu Jia Ning looked rosy and her expression was calm, she was relieved. Upon seeing her big belly, her eyes grew even more tender, "Ning girl, how have you been recently? Eating well? Sleeping well? Has the baby been troubling you..."
"Grandma, you’re asking so many questions at once, how can Ningning answer them all?" Sheng Zexi teased with a smile on the side.
Grandma Sang gave him a look.
Gu Jia Ning then smiled and said, "Grandma is caring about me."
She then reversed the grip on Grandma Sang’s hands, at that moment, even without looking, she could feel the wrinkles, but they were very warm.
These hands, at the first instance, did not grab onto the grandson Sheng Zexi’s hand next to her, but hers.
As soon as her hand was grasped by these hands, warmth spread, warming her heart too.
She moved forward directly, embraced Grandma Sang fully, and said, "Grandma, I’m very well, everything is good."
Grandma Sang paused for a moment, then her smile widened, "Good, good, everything is good."
After letting go, she silently turned her head to wipe her eyes, not letting Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi see her reddened eyes.
"Quick, quick, don’t just stand here, come inside quickly."
"Your Grandpa was actually off work today, waiting at home with me for you, but he was called away for an urgent matter, he should be back in the afternoon."
Grandma Sang explained as she led them inside.
"Here, this is the room I’ve arranged for you." As soon as they entered, Grandma Sang took them to a room to put down their luggage first.
"This room used to be where A wan stayed."
"Xiao Xi stayed here before, but he stayed on the second floor."
"I thought since you’re pregnant, and quite far along, it’s more suitable for you to stay on the ground floor, besides the room where we, the old couple, stay, A wan’s room is the largest and best."
Looking at the furnishings in the room, in fact, they haven’t changed much since A wan stayed here.
Grandma Sang looked at these furnishings with a warm sense of nostalgia.
She thought that now that Xiao Xi and Ning girl could stay here, if A wan were around, she probably would agree and be pleased too.
"Thank you for thinking so thoroughly, Grandma." Gu Jia Ning’s eyes filled with gratitude.
She wouldn’t mind because it was the room where her mother-in-law lived before.
She knew that Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang letting them stay in this room showed their love for them.
Moreover, Gu Jia Ning felt the room was very nice even at a glance, indeed spacious, and the things inside were very complete and exquisite.
Sheng Zexi was also looking at the room.
His mother’s room, he had not checked it out before, but when he stayed at the Sang Family, Grandpa and Grandma suggested before,"Want to stay?"
But Sheng Zexi refused.
He didn’t want to change anything.
Yet now, Sheng Zexi felt that Grandpa and Grandma’s arrangement might be the best.
Truly missing someone is not solely about associating through objects.
Letting her belongings carry on, continuing the legacy, is also another form of love.
He believed if his mother knew about Grandma’s arrangement, she would agree and be happy too.
So Sheng Zexi put the luggage down.
When they came out, Grandma Sang had already brought out two cups of malted milk, handing one to each of them.
"Here, warm your body, also warm your hands."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Gu Jia Ning sat on the sofa, knowing that malted milk was the best form of hospitality for that time.
She took a sip, and the sweet malted milk was gratifying, her body warmed, and so did her heart.
Perhaps worried she might feel unfamiliar or constrained, Grandma Sang sat beside her, holding her hand, conversing warmly.
Seeing the weariness on Gu Jia Ning’s face, she quickly said, "Oh look at me, you’ve been traveling by train for so long, likely didn’t rest well, please go to the room and rest, especially you Ningning, being pregnant means you need more rest."
"Alright." Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning did not refuse.
Traveling long distances by train was indeed quite tiring.
