"What delicious food do you have? Why don't you bring it out?" Old Zeng said, glancing at Song Yan.

"There's so much delicious food!" Yueyue swallowed hard. But she obediently waited to the side without reaching out to take any.

Chunyang and Xiaohu washed their hands and disassembled the roast chicken.

Yueyue's little eyes were glued to the screen.

Chunyang tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into Yueyue's mouth.

Yueyue chewed while nodding, her little expression screaming "delicious!"

The family of ten squeezed together for a meal, but they had to. All six berths were theirs, and there were no outsiders eating there! The four berths next to them were also theirs, but there were two other passengers there. It wouldn't be right for them to see them enjoying their meal so much.

As long as it tastes good, who cares about being crowded!

Wei An, Wei Ping, and Yueyue were placed on the middle bunk, a cloth was laid out, and some delicious food was put on it. The three children could eat by themselves! Chunyang took care of the children and ate with them.

Di Jianjun and Xiao Hu stood while everyone else sat around the small table, their mouths greasy with food.

Everyone ate their fill and had a delicious meal.

After the meal, Wei Aiguo took out a large watermelon, but he didn't have a knife. He planned to smash the watermelon open.

"Wait, I have a knife," Di Jianjun stopped him.

Song Yan was suspicious. How could he have brought it on the train?

Di Jianjun explained while brandishing the knife, "I have my identification!"

Song Yan forgot. Di Jianjun was armed.

Everyone exclaimed how sweet the watermelon was!

These days, people who can afford sleeper berths are no ordinary people. And for such a large family to all have sleeper tickets, anyone with a brain knows this family is not to be trifled with.

The aroma of meat and the sweet scent of watermelon were incredibly enticing, but no one at the next stall said anything.

In the novel, Song Yan encountered some truly exceptional people on a train, enjoying delicious food, while others were envious that this hadn't happened.

Lunch consisted of steamed buns, roast chicken, and stir-fried pickled vegetables. We didn't finish the steamed buns, so dinner was steamed buns, fried dough sticks with stir-fried pickled vegetables, chili sauce, and scallions.

Cut cucumbers into strips, add pickled vegetables, chili sauce, or scallions, and roll them up in a fried pancake—it's delicious!

Yueyue sat there waiting for Uncle Xiaohu to roll up her fried dough.

Old Zeng has a particular fondness for fried dough rolls with scallions.

Song Yan wouldn't have brought out the scallions if they hadn't smelled so strong.

Old Zeng clearly couldn't eat the food on the train.

After Old Zeng finished eating, he said, "Xiao Yan, you've spoiled my palate." In those years, he would eat wild vegetables mixed with some coarse grains with great relish.

Because we had so much food, there was enough left over for the next morning. It tasted much worse after sitting overnight, but it was still better than the food on the train.

Then I ate the last watermelon. I bought some snacks on the train at noon to tide me over!

They can then get off the train...

The three children, who had been listless from sitting on the train, perked up again because of the roast chicken, but soon couldn't stay awake any longer.

But because they got off the train in Kyoto, they knew they were now on Kyoto soil, and they became lively and energetic again.

As soon as Wei Aiguo exited the station, he saw Xia Juntao and Shen Ruomei waiting to pick him up.

Shen Changchuan knew when they would be back, so he sent two cars in advance, and the other one was Lao Zeng's assigned car.

The three cars were just the right size to accommodate everyone.

Wei An, Wei Ping, and Yueyue were all extremely excited; it was a toy car!

Once we got in the car, it went really fast; we arrived at our new home in no time.

Aunt Wei was surprised to find the courtyard so spacious.

Old Liao had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to return. Aunt Wei exchanged a few words with Old Liao before heading off to look at the house.

This house and yard are so nice!

A cross-shaped path runs through the middle of the courtyard, which is divided into four small plots. These plots are ideal for planting flowers or shrubs.

Song Yan refused, saying that her mother-in-law should keep the four plots of land. She would definitely prefer to grow vegetables. Besides, Song Yan thought it would be nice to grow some vegetables. She could water them with spring water, and the vegetables wouldn't grow badly.

Shen Ruomei held Yueyue tightly, refusing to let go.

Yueyue doesn't like being held by strangers. When Shen Ruomei held her, Yueyue almost instinctively called out "Bai Shuang".

Her mother said that Aunt Shen was her classmate and not a bad person, so Yueyue reluctantly agreed.

Shen Ruomei knew that her eldest brother's family had three children, so she prepared three gifts.

They all thanked her politely, but whether it was because of blood ties or psychological factors, Shen Ruomei still thought Yueyue was the cutest.

But Yueyue doesn't really like her.

Old Liao knew they had been on the train for several days and would definitely want some soup or broth. So she prepared rather light and simple dishes.

Corn buns with white porridge and stir-fried greens.

This kind of food is much more satisfying to eat.

Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Wei Aiguo ignored everyone and drove Song Yan to their rented house. The car was then packed full when they drove back. Bai Shuang and Hei Zai also arrived home.

The young people were busy helping to move things.

Wei Aiguo drove three more times to haul away the goods. In addition to the things from home, Song Yan also brought out a lot of food.

It was still early when we finished the meal.

Not wanting to disturb their rest, Lao Liao and his grandson said goodbye.

Shen Ruomei was reluctant to part with Yueyue, but she didn't have to be so inconsiderate as to disturb her rest. She left with a heavy heart.

The main house has three rooms. Aunt Wei lives in the easternmost room. Song Yan wants Old Zeng to live in the westernmost room.

He doesn't know what his house looks like yet, so he definitely can't move in right away.

Old Zeng refused, insisting on staying in a side room. He wasn't going to stay there for many more days anyway; did he really want Song Yan to move again just for this?

Finally, Lao Zeng and Di Jianjun stayed in the first room of the east wing.
