The old lady nodded, not wanting to upset the child, and wiped her wet eyes, saying, "I understand."

Lin Yu and Ou Manqing boarded the train. Looking at their family members getting further and further away through the train window, their eyes couldn't help but redden.

Lin Yu quickly calmed down and even comforted Ou Manqing, saying, "Don't be sad. You'll see your parents soon. You should be happy."

She could understand; Ou Manqing had just given birth not long ago and was still affected by hormones.

So at this time, talk more about happy things.

"You're home now, cheer up. Why don't you tell me about Guangcheng?"

Ou Manqing wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and tried to relax as much as possible, trying not to think about her children at home.

She turned around and began to tell Lin Yu about Guangcheng, the place where she grew up.

Because it's located in the south, the weather is much hotter than where the brigade is.

They arrived in March, when the weather had already started to warm up, so they didn't need to wear so many clothes.

Ou Manqing recalled summers in Guangcheng: "There were many fruits there, but they couldn't be transported out, so we could only eat them ourselves, and the prices were very cheap."

Lin Yu used to live in Haicheng, which is also in the southern region, but compared to Guangcheng, the temperature in Haicheng is not as high.

Therefore, she has eaten many fruits from Guangcheng.

"This time we can really enjoy a delicious meal."

Moreover, she had another idea in mind that she needed to conduct an on-site investigation before she could implement it.

As they chatted, Ou Manqing's heart was filled with the joy of returning home.

Lin Yu was preoccupied with work and completely forgot about her reluctance to leave her family.

This train goes directly to Guangcheng Railway Station, and the whole journey takes twenty hours.

They both bought hard sleeper tickets, which consisted of two rows of beds facing each other in one carriage.

Each row has three beds: upper, middle, and lower.

Lin Yu was unlucky and got a middle bunk.

This berth was arguably the most uncomfortable.

Caught between two people, the space was cramped, and the smell on the train was already unpleasant, but lying in the middle bunk made the smell even stronger.

The person can only lie flat and cannot sit up, like a fish fixed on a cutting board, unable to move.

Lin Yu felt uncomfortable and thought it better not to sleep.

So she climbed down and found a seat outside the carriage, next to the window.

She sat by the window, looking at the scenery in the darkness.

The train was moving very slowly at this time, churning along. Lin Yu had good eyesight and could occasionally spot a few small animals.

Ou Manqing didn't sleep well either, probably because she was too excited and couldn't relax.

Seeing Lin Yu sitting by the window, she also came out and sat down opposite her.

"Can't sleep?" Lin Yu asked her.

Ou Manqing nodded: "Yeah, I'm a little excited."

Lin Yu expressed her understanding; it was her first time visiting Guangcheng, and she was quite excited, so it goes without saying that Ou Manqing was going back to his hometown.

She took out cookies from her bag; they were old-fashioned cookies from her virtual supermarket, the labels of which she had already torn off.

"Have something to eat."

Actually, instant noodles in a cup are more suitable for train travel, and Lin Yu Supermarket has a lot of them.

Unfortunately, I can't produce it now because I can't explain it.

I had no choice but to eat cookies.

Ou Manqing brought some preserved plums and melon seeds, and the two of them ate these while chatting and looking at the scenery outside the window, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

It wasn't until dawn that I decided to take a nap on Ou Manqing's bed.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at Guangcheng Railway Station.

As a trading port since ancient times, this place still sees more people than other places, even though we are in a special period now.

People came and went, speaking in languages ​​that Lin Yu couldn't understand.

Guangcheng dialect is just as difficult to learn as Lin Yu's Haicheng dialect.

So when she got off the car, she felt like she had entered a different world.

But Oumanqing felt a sense of familiarity.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had heard such a familiar dialect or seen this old train station.

I'm a little excited.

"Manqing, Xiaoyu!"

Just then, a voice came from afar. Lin Yu looked over and saw Ou Manqing's mother walking over from there.

A young man was following behind her.

"Aunt Ou".

"mom!"

Mother Ou walked over and took their hands: "Hey, were you tired from the car ride?"

Lin Yu said with a smile, "It's quite tiring. Neither Manqing nor I slept last night."

Ou Manqing's eyes welled up with tears, and he nodded: "Yeah, I'm tired and hungry."

When they see their mother, they act like children and can be affectionate.

Mother Ou immediately said with heartache, "Then come home with me quickly for dinner and sleep."

Both of them were still carrying luggage when Mrs. Ou remembered to introduce the young man she had brought.

"This is Xiao Zhao, your father's driver. I asked him to help you with your luggage."

Xiao Zhao was a young man who looked not much older than Lin Yu, and he was also a bit shy.

He wanted to take his luggage, but Lin Yu didn't need it.

She's strong, so carrying some luggage is no problem for her.

He took Ou Manqing's luggage instead.

Xiao Zhao drove over, and Lin Yu took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat.

Let Ou Manqing and her daughter sit together in the back seat and chat.

Ou's mother helped Ou Manqing take care of the child for almost two months before leaving the Lotus Brigade.

It's been a while since she last saw her daughter, so naturally she's worried about her.

So all the way there, I heard her asking Ou Manqing, "How is Yuanyuan doing now?"

"She's doing well. She's grown up a bit now and is in good health."

Mrs. Ou nodded, relieved. She had been worried that her daughter was too young to take care of the child.
