Chapter 63 An Encounter on the Train

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Fenghua had been busy with recruitment exams and hadn't thought about Shen Huixiu for a while.

When the four of them bought their tickets back to the countryside and happened to run into Shen Huixiu, Shen Fenghua and Qi Ye exchanged a glance and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. It turned out that it was such a coincidence.

Shen Huixiu naturally saw it too. She had become quite popular because of her volunteer work in Xinjiang. When they saw her off at the train station, she was wearing a big red flower, and even a reporter from a daily newspaper took a picture of her.

Beside him were Shen's mother and father, both with tears in their eyes, talking at length to the reporter, as if to prove how much they loved their child, showing off everything on the ground.

This proves that they gave their all to support Shen Huixiu's aid to Xinjiang.

With people coming and going and under everyone's watchful eyes, Shen Huixiu felt that this matter was undignified and shameful. Moreover, she was really about to be driven mad by her parents. Most of these things were extorted from Wang Xingda.

After these two put on such a show, anyone who didn't know better would think the Shen family had emptied their coffers and savings.

She mentally repeated the curses over and over again, but she couldn't show it on her face at all.

Even if they are extremely unwilling, they have to put on their warmest and brightest smiles and put on a touching performance of mother-daughter love.

Shen Fenghua and Qi Ye, with their two children, watched from a distance and decided to quietly avoid the area.

There was nothing she could do; this scene was just like a monkey show, and she couldn't handle it.

Qi Ye: "What should we do?"

"What else can we do?" Shen Fenghua rolled her eyes. "We'll just have to go around it!"

No one expected that their trip to the countryside to pick up their grandmother would coincide with the same day that Shen Huixiu set off for Xinjiang's aid mission. It was truly unlucky.

Shen Fenghua thought so, and that's what she said. Amidst the bustling and noisy train station, Qi Ye could still clearly hear Shen Fenghua muttering under her breath, "What bad luck! This is what happens when you're lazy and don't check the almanac before you go out."

Qi Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Fenghua glared at him, "What are you laughing at? Keep an eye on the kids."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Avoiding Shen Huixiu, Qi Ye, taking advantage of his tall stature, led the way. When the four of them successfully squeezed onto the train, they were all covered in sweat.

It's hot now, and Shen Fenghua didn't think about taking advantage of the situation. She let the two children sit in one seat. It was quite a coincidence that all four of their tickets were together, with two pairs of seats facing each other.

Shen Fenghua led the children to sit down first, and Qi Ye put away the bundles.

The children were small, so the seats were much more comfortable for them. Shen Fenghua quickly took out a large palm-leaf fan from her backpack and beckoned the two children to come over. The three little faces were close together, and Shen Fenghua began to fan wildly.

Let the storm rage on!

The four of them sat down, their main theme being a peaceful and unassuming life. The two children were a little curious, asking, "Auntie, who are we going to visit in the countryside now?"

After Qi Nian'an finished speaking, his lips were tightly pursed, and a closer look revealed that he was somewhat uneasy. Although Shen Fenghua did not know what the problem was, she still tried her best to comfort him, "Look at my grandma, when you go there, be good, okay?"

"Grandma?" Qi Nian'an was a little confused. Shen Fenghua thought for a moment and said, "You should call her Great-Grandma."

Qi Nian'an's unease intensified. After hesitating for a while, she stammered, "Then, after reading Great-Grandma's words, can my brother and I still come back with Auntie?"

They're just kids; they can't keep things to themselves or hold their tongues.

Hearing this, Shen Fenghua's heart softened. She pulled Qi Nian'an onto her lap and sat him down, pinching his cheek with a smile. "Who told you that the two of you weren't coming back with us?"

Shen Fenghua's appearance did offer some psychological comfort to the child, who looked up and said loudly, "It's Dad."

Qi Ye, who was diligently peeling an orange: "???"

I was just sitting at home when trouble came out of nowhere.

He laughed in exasperation, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? When did your father ever say such a thing?"

After saying that, he stuffed a segment of orange into Qi Nian'an's mouth. Qi Nian'an, like a puppy begging for food, stretched out his mouth to take it. He put the bright orange orange in his mouth, took a bite, and immediately the little guy shuddered three times because of the sourness. His little face was all scrunched up from the sourness.

But he still wouldn't let go of the orange.

Shen Fenghua was worried that the orange would be too sour for the child, so she tried to peel it out, but Qi Ye stopped her, saying, "It's okay, a little sourness won't hurt."

Fruits are a good source of vitamins, and besides, fruit is quite precious these days. Although oranges are sour, they were fresh ones that Qi Ye managed to get his hands on with great difficulty.

Well, since Qi Ye had said so, Shen Fenghua stopped making a move and watched as Qi Nian'an, with her neck stiff, swallowed the orange bit by bit.

Yes, his face was full of pain.

It doesn't cause much physical harm, but it can be quite damaging to a child's mental well-being.

After struggling to swallow the orange, Qi Nian'an became listless, leaning weakly against Shen Fenghua's chest and humming softly.

Seeing that Qi Nian'an was no longer afraid, Shen Fenghua immediately raised an eyebrow at Qi Ye, as the matter from earlier was still fresh in everyone's minds.

Qi Ye: "..."

He sighed, and said in a slightly annoyed voice, "Last time I took the two children to settle in the countryside, I also said that I would take the children to visit their grandmother or something."

Good heavens, so that's where the problem lies.

Shen Fenghua glanced at him sideways, "Always doing good deeds."

This guy's actions have given the child psychological trauma.

The train was noisy and crowded. Shen Fenghua and Qi Nian'an moved as close to the window as possible.

"You're actually here."

These words sounded all too familiar. When Shen Fenghua looked up, she was met with Shen Huixiu's listless face. She was momentarily stunned. How big and how small the world is!

You can even meet someone like that.

Before Shen Fenghua could even speak, she heard Shen Huixiu launch into a rapid-fire barrage of attacks, "Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me!"

As she spoke, her eyes practically blazed with fire.

Shen Fenghua choked for a moment, then rolled her eyes. "Stop trying to flatter yourself, okay? What makes you so great? What makes you think you're so special that I have to pay for a train ticket to see you make a fool of yourself?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Huixiu was stunned. Her face, which was burning with anger, froze. She looked at Shen Fenghua awkwardly, then at Qi Ye and the two children sitting next to her, lowered her eyes, and sat down.

Shen Huixiu still had that big red flower hanging around her neck, attracting the attention of countless people as they passed by.

Shen Fenghua wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that after Shen Huixiu sat down, there were more people coming and going around, and it became noisier.

Perhaps sensing Shen Fenghua's attitude, Qi Nian'an became much more obedient.

"Ooh~"

With a whistle, the train slowly began to move.
