Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Kang Li: Will Luo Yanqing welcome her arrival? Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Kang Li: Will Luo Yanqing welcome her arrival? Of course, even if Kang Li knew about these things, sheâd probably just laugh them off and not take them seriously.
Time passed quickly, and one morning, after breakfast, Captain Kang, Big Brother Kang, and Kang Guoan walked out of the house carrying large and small bags.
âLi Bao, you must remember to write home often, you mustnât forget!â
Even if Cai Xiufen was utterly unwilling to let go, at this moment, she had no choice but to release her beloved daughterâs hand, watching her leave home and head far away to North City.
âMhm, I will remember.â
Kang Li nodded firmly, took a couple of steps forward, then couldnât help but stop to look back at her birth mother and the relatives standing at the door to see her off.
âLetâs go, Li Bao!â
Kang Guoan called out to Kang Li.
âIâm coming.â
After replying, Kang Li waved to her birth mother and family, holding back the tears in her eyes, turned around, and followed the footsteps of her little brother Kang Guoan and the others.
They took the villageâs ox cart to the town and then switched to a shuttle bus to reach the county city; afterward, Kang Li and her group took a coach to the city.
Since there was no train station in the county city, they had to depart from the train station in the city to head to North City.
The long green train looked quite old-fashioned; at this moment, Kang Li sat by the window, listening to the rhythmic âclang, clangâ¦â sound.
Without a doubt, that sound came from the train wheels striking the tracks.
Gazing through the window at the trees and farmlands moving backwards, Kang Liâs mind involuntarily returned to the photo of Luo Yanqing, and she found it quite incredible for a moment.
A man and a woman, complete strangers, had become husband and wife through just one or two phone calls and a photo, and those one or two calls werenât even made by the couple themselves.
Thinking thus, a hint of curiosity colored Kang Liâs fox-like eyes: She wondered whether Comrade Luo Yanqing would welcome his new life partner about to enter his life?
And what about Comrade Luo Yanqingâs three children; would they welcome this stranger into their family?
âLi Bao, what are you thinking about?â
Kang Guoan sat beside Kang Li, and seeing that she hadnât spoken since they got on the train, he couldnât help asking out of concern.
âIâm wondering what North City is like.â
Kang Li casually responded, her exceedingly beautiful and refined face beaming with a smile: âAre you thinking about it too, little brother?â
Appearing slightly uncomfortable, Kang Guoan cleared his throat and said, âIâve thought about it, but I canât imagine what North City is really like.â
âNorth City must be very big, and certainly very lively.â
As the national capital, North City was naturally both large and bustling. Kang Li said with a smile, âOnce we settle down, we must take a good stroll around North City.â
Kang Guoan remained silent.
Kang Li looked towards Captain Kang and Big Brother Kang: âDad, Big Brother, what do you think?â
âThereâll be plenty of time for strolling later. This trip to take you to North City is mainly about getting you settled in properly and watching your little brother complete his employment procedures at his unit. Afterward, weâll have to return to our hometown.â
North City was indeed great, but after all, it wasnât their hometown; everything cost money there. Besides, there were plenty of things to do back home, which wouldnât allow them to stay in North City any longer than necessary.
âLi Bao, Dad is right. Weâll come back to North City later. You can stroll around as much as you want then. But now, thereâs a lot of work to do in the fields back home; we canât afford the delay,â Big Brother Kang said with a smile. Hearing this, Kang Li puffed her cheeks and gave an âOhâ in response.
âIf you want to go out, you can let your little brother take you around when he has time off. But you must remember that you have children to look after and canât just go out because you feel like it, letting the children come to any harm.â
