Chapter 229 Go Back

Chen Lei saw that they had almost packed up and felt that he could not help much here. Besides, the train was about to leave, so he prepared to go back, said goodbye to Zhao Shengrui, and glanced at Tang Yue before leaving.

But Tang Yuegen didn't notice it. Instead, Zhao Shengrui saw it and was silent for a while, but didn't say anything. After all, he just glanced at him and didn't say anything. Besides, he believed in the character of his comrade-in-arms and would never do anything.

After sending Chen Lei away, Zhao Shengrui didn't say anything. After all, his wife didn't care, so what was there to worry about?

Fortunately, the berths in the carriage were not too small, so each person could sleep with a baby in their arms. Tang Yue originally wanted to sleep on the upper berth, thinking that it would be cleaner. Of course, this was just her feeling, as they were all the same. But when everyone saw how big her belly was, they all disagreed. It was too unsafe to get up and down, so she had to sleep on the lower berth obediently.

It was already past lunch time and everyone was a little hungry, so Zhao Shengrui went to the dining car to get some food. When Zhao's mother saw her eldest son going there, she quickly locked the door of the car. After all, the train was a very chaotic place, and there were two old people and a pregnant woman here. If someone came in and snatched the baby, they wouldn't be able to stop it, so she had to be cautious.

Tang Yue felt that her mother-in-law was right. If someone really snatched the child away, she would be too busy taking care of the baby to take care of others. It would be safer to just lock the door when she went out and not lock it when she didn't.

Tang Yue held the babies in her arms, watching her mother-in-law prepare milk powder for them. She thought of the sheep she sold yesterday. She had been planning to bring it into the carriage, but then she thought it would be too troublesome because its poop would be so dirty. She could then find an excuse to get another sheep from the space. However, they hadn't had goat milk for the past two days, and their appetite hadn't been that good after drinking milk powder.

I'll take the next train and go home. The sheep are urgent. I don't want to starve the babies.

After waiting for a while, she heard a knock on the door and Zhao Shengrui's voice calling someone. When the mother-in-law heard it was her eldest son's voice, she quickly opened the door, waited for the person to come in, and locked the door again.

Zhao Shengrui was puzzled by his mother's expression. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"You feel that the train is unsafe. Remember this from now on. You must lock the door when you enter. If a group of people come in and take the baby away, we won't be able to catch up with them."

Although Zhao Shengrui felt that his mother was overthinking, he did not object. After all, his mother was doing it for the good of the babies and was worried about the children, which was understandable. Besides, this was a small matter and it was not a big deal to just lock the door after entering.

"I just went to the carriage to check it out. There aren't any good dishes. There are only two dishes in total, hot and sour shredded potatoes and boiled cabbage. I thought we could bring some pickles with rice, which would be good. So I ordered one shredded potato and one serving of rice. It's not delicious, but it's enough to fill you up."

To be honest, Tang Yue took one look at the food she brought back and didn't have much appetite, but when she lowered her head to look at her stomach, she could only pick up one portion of the rice and start eating. Fortunately, the chili sauce made by her mother-in-law was very appetizing and was best eaten with rice. In the end, she ate all of the rice.

Both Zhao's father and mother had suffered hardships before. Although they were in good health, they suffered a lot during the war. These meals were really good compared to before. Zhao Shengrui was even better. He had eaten everything during the mission and finished the meal quickly.

This time they stayed on the train for a full day. During that time, Tang Yue did not pass through the door of the carriage except to go to the toilet and wash up. Neither did her parents-in-law. Only Zhao Shengrui would often go in because he had to go to the dining car to get food every day. He also assisted the crew in catching thieves, and it was a gang crime. Fortunately, they were all caught.

When they finally got off the train, not only did Tang Yue breathe a sigh of relief, but her parents-in-law and Zhao Shengrui also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been worried all the way, afraid that someone would take advantage of the babies. After all, the kids were really good-looking and young, and human traffickers liked this kind of thing.

Moreover, the babies have been drinking milk powder these days, and their appetite has obviously decreased. We are waiting to go home quickly to bring back a sheep. Several people are exhausted from carrying the babies and luggage. Then we have to take the bus outside the train station. After finally arriving at the house in the commune, we feel so weak.

It's really cold here, and the snow obviously hasn't melted yet. It feels like it might snow again, and you can step into a pit with every step you take.

I took out the key and opened the door. I didn't expect that the original three brick houses had been demolished and built in other styles, like the courtyard model of Beijing, with five rooms in a row and three side rooms on each side.

Tang Yue and his group put their luggage in the living room first. The house seemed to have been cleaned and was very tidy. As long as the luggage was there, they could move in directly. Zhao Shengrui found an excuse to ask his comrades to borrow a car and transport the luggage back.

While the luggage had not yet been shipped back, Tang Yue looked around. There were five rooms in the main house. The first one was a living room, with bedrooms on both sides. In the wing rooms on the left, the first two rooms were connected, with the kitchen and dining area connected together. The other rooms were empty and could be lived in. Each wing room was about ten square meters, not small at all, and there were kangs in these rooms, which were slightly larger than the main room. A kang was prepared in the main room. Without a kang in the weather in the Northeast, it felt like one would not be able to survive the winter.

Taking a rough look, it is quite tidy, with a well at the very edge and a yard at the back. Half of it is covered with a shed, which looks like it can be used to store firewood, and the other half may be used to grow vegetables!

I'm quite satisfied. The babies are placed directly on the kang with a kang mat on top. The person entrusted by my father-in-law is quite thoughtful. Nothing is out of place. The construction waste has been cleared away. It seems that I should take some gifts to thank Zhao Shengrui when he is at home these two days.

Thinking that Zhao Shengrui would not be back for some time, she could take this opportunity to bring back a sheep. "Dad, Mom, I'll go find someone I knew before and bring back a sheep, so that the babies won't get used to the milk powder."

"Yueyue, why don't you ask your dad to go with you? I'm a little worried about you going alone."

Mother Zhao looked at her daughter-in-law's big belly which was more than three months old, and her eyes were filled with worry.

"Mom, don't worry. They are all acquaintances. It's not appropriate for Dad to go with them."

After saying this, he winked at his mother-in-law, who understood immediately and said nothing more.
