After finishing their porridge, the family slowly walked back to the hotel to rest for a while. They then took two taxis to the train station. The three elders carried their own bags while Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao carried the heavier items. They had been trained since childhood and their strength was equivalent to that of two or three adult men, without a doubt.

Look, at the entrance of the train station, some people who weren't in a hurry to catch their trains were shocked to see two young girls carrying two large suitcases each and a huge bag as tall as a person on their backs. Were these two girls strong women? They carried three bags each without anyone sweating on their faces, their cheeks were just slightly flushed.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, you sit here and watch the luggage. Jiaojiao and I will go get the tickets." After saying that, Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao went to the self-service ticket machine to get the tickets. The family's tickets were two adjacent sleeper berths that Chu Jiaojiao's older brother bought for them through connections.

After passing through the ticket check and entering the station, Chu Jiaojiao found her two sleeper compartments and put down her luggage. "Phew!" Chu Jiaojiao finally put her luggage away and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm, letting out a long breath. Although the weight of the luggage was within her tolerance, the aisle was narrow and there were many people. It was so crowded that Chu Jiaojiao was squeezed to death, and Chu Xingyue was not much better off.

As the train slowly started moving, Chu Xingyue took out towels from her bag, wrung them out in the washroom, and went back to the private compartment to wash up the whole family. Outside the window, the sun gradually rose to mid-sky. The two elderly people stared intently out the window, lost in thought. In the next compartment, Liu Nuoling also looked out the window. Leaving her hometown of over 30 years to go to a completely unfamiliar city filled her with trepidation and unease. But the thought of reuniting with her husband after more than a decade of separation filled her with longing for the future. She also knew that Jiaojiao would be able to live with her father, with whom she had never lived, and that her two sons in Kyoto would be reunited.

No one knows what Liu Nuoling is thinking, but the fact that a woman who only went to high school can endure a life without a husband for more than ten years and still take good care of her home shows how strong her mentality is. So even if she doesn't know where the future will lead, she is not afraid.

After taking care of the family, Chu Xingyue quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.

"Cough, cough, cough," the coughing sounds echoed through the corridor, making everyone who heard them feel sorry for him. "Grandpa, the water's here, the water's here, please have some water." A thin boy hurriedly walked from the end of the corridor, carrying a teacup. The boy walked up to the old man and handed him the cup. The old man drank the water from the boy's hand and took several sips to catch his breath before he felt a little better.

"Xiao Guang, take a rest. I know my own body. There's nothing seriously wrong. This time, Grandpa will send you to your dad's school," the old man said, patting the boy's head.

"Grandpa, will you stay with me? I want you to pick me up from school." Hearing his grandson's words, the old man, who had originally planned to return to his hometown after dropping off his grandson, hesitated.

Yes, my grandson is a stranger in Kyoto. My son and daughter-in-law haven't been home for years. Although my grandson and his parents miss him, he's always clinging to me. When he was four or five months old, my son and daughter-in-law went to Kyoto to do small business. I raised him all by myself. I know he won't be able to adjust if I suddenly leave him. I thought to myself: I'll pick him up and drop him off for a while, and once he's settled in, he can go back to his hometown. It's inconvenient for an old man like me to live with my son and daughter-in-law. As people get older, they need to be mindful of boundaries, otherwise they'll easily become disliked.

A little incident occurred on the train between the father and son. Chu Xingyue, who was passing by, almost got bumped by Xiao Guang who was rushing to get water, so she glanced at them a few more times and overheard a bit of their conversation. Chu Xingyue didn't care much and returned to her compartment.
