Chapter 407 On the Road 02

Yu Rujia: "Okay, you can sleep in this bed with your fourth brother. Duole can sleep in the same bed with Mom."

Time flies, and Duoxi, the youngest of the four children, is almost eleven years old; the twins are a little over eleven and are already over 1.5 meters tall. If they grow another year older, they might be taller than her.

Duoshou: "Auntie, I'm shorter than you, let Duole sleep with me."

There are only six beds. Apart from Duoyi, who cannot sleep alone, the other two beds require four people to sleep in each other.

When Duole is at home, he sleeps with Duofu, but Duofu is relatively bigger, so it must be very cramped for him and Duole to sleep in such a small bed.

Duolu: "Duole can sleep with me too."

Duofu slapped the back of his head: "Forget about you. If Duole sleeps with you, you'll kick him to the ground in no time. Duole either sleeps with me or with Duoshou."

Doro thought of how he slept with Duoxi, sniffed, and said nothing.

Duole wanted to sleep with his mother that night, but after looking at the small bed in front of him, he felt that his mother should sleep better. The little guy turned around and went to Dushou's side, holding his hand.

Duole: "Third Brother, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Duoshou: "Okay, let's sleep together."

They stayed in their compartment with the door closed, and apart from one flight attendant coming by, no one disturbed them.

Because the environment here is really nice, the kids were even interested in playing games and enjoying the scenery.

There were many of them, so they didn't find it boring.

It can also entertain Duoyi.

The train ride wasn't as bumpy as the car ride, and Duoyi could walk a few steps on the train while being led around. The little guy was amused by his older brothers and kept giggling.

Duolu had a sudden inspiration and said, "Duoyi, tell me that you like your second brother the most."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duoshou pushed him out: "Duoyi, don't listen to him. Third brother will teach you a lot of things in the future. You like third brother the most, that's for sure."

Duoxi reached out to push Duoshou, but he dodged it as he was prepared. When the two of them stopped, they found that Duoyi was no longer in front of them.

The two men turned their eyes and began searching for which brat dared to take advantage of them. In the end, they found their favorite 'little sister' on their older brother Duofu's bed.

Duo Yi, that silly boy, still calls me "Big Brother" in his babyish way, with a soft and adorable smile.

Duoxi muttered a small complaint: "Big brother is too cunning."

Before they knew it, it was dinner time. Gao Shujing checked several kettles and found that they were almost empty. He poured them all out together, picked up the empty kettles, and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Duofu stood up and said, "Uncle, I'll go fetch water with you."

Duolu, who was having a good time in the private room, thought that no matter how bad the outside environment was, it would be better than the car, so he volunteered to go with him: "Uncle, I want to go too."

Gao Shujing advised, "There are a lot of people outside, are you really going?"

Duolu opened the door and glanced around. Outside were the regular sleeper compartments, which were less crowded than the seating area.

Dorjee was even more certain of his idea and nodded firmly, saying, "Go."

Gao Shujing thought that he could just get water at the end of the sleeper car in front of him, without having to go to the seat ticket area, so he handed him the two water bottles: "If Duolu goes, then Duofu can go next time."

Duofu didn't care. He had wanted to go earlier because he saw Gao Shujing carrying a lot of water bottles and was worried that he wouldn't be able to carry them all, so he thought he would go together.

Now that Duolu was going to fetch the water jug, it didn't matter that he didn't have to go, so he gracefully stepped aside.

When Duolu returned from his trip, his face turned sour.

Duoshou asked, "Why do you look like this? Is it as uncomfortable outside as being in a car?"

Duolu said with lingering fear, "The sleeper area is better, it's about the same as what we see outside. The seat area is much more crowded and smells terrible."

Yu Rujia: "Is there no hot water here in the sleeper compartment?"

Gao Shujing: "Yes, it's because Duolu went out and wanted to walk around, so he went to the seat ticket area."

Duo Shou rolled his eyes at him: "You're really looking for trouble."

Doro muttered, "I'm just a little curious."

This is the first time in my life I've ridden on a train with so many rooms; how could I not be curious?

Yu Rujia: "Alright, you've had your fill of curiosity. If you don't want to go out after this, then don't. Have a meal, sleep for one night, and you can get off the train tomorrow at noon."

The closer they got to Jiangcheng, the colder it got. The children, seeing a vast expanse of white for the first time, peered through the semi-transparent window cracks and exclaimed in surprise.

The country bumpkin Dorje stared wide-eyed at the snow outside: "Mom, it's so white here."

Duofu: "This is snow." He vaguely remembered seeing a similar scene when he was a child.

Duolu: "Is there snow in Jiangcheng?"

Gao Shujing: "Yes, when you get to Grandpa's house, you can have a snowball fight and build a snowman."

Duole raised his little hand and said, "Dad, I want to hit him."

Duoxi patted his little head and laughed heartlessly, "You little brat, you only deserve to be beaten."

Du Le pouted unhappily: "Dad, can I run without getting hit?"

Gao Shujing said gently, "Sure, you can dodge. It's okay if you get hit, it won't hurt. When I was a kid, I used to have snowball fights all the time. When we get to Jiangcheng, I'll teach you how to play."

Dorje squeezed between the father and son: "Dad, I want to learn too."

Duoyi, who was playing with Duoshou on the bed, also cried out in her tender little voice, stretching out her hand, "Want, want, want."

Gao Shujing sat down on the edge of the bed, hugged the soft and adorable little one into his arms, and said softly with a smile, "You won't be left out."

The roads are not easy to travel in winter, and the train was two or three hours late.

The train station here is a major station, with far more people than the train station in their city. As far as the eye can see, it's packed with people, even the passageways on their side are crowded.

Gao Shujing pointed to the outermost open space and instructed the children, "There are too many people outside the train. You two will hold each other's hands later. Don't panic if you get separated. We'll meet up there."

Although they had made preparations to stay close to their families, the group was so crowded that they lost their sense of direction as soon as they got off the train.

Each person, along with their companion, squeezed to the outermost edge, finally able to catch their breath, before starting to search for the place Gao Shujing had pointed out, following the directions they had noted on the train.

Duofu pulled Duole forward, searching for their family in the direction the train was heading.

Duole stayed close to him, and despite the crowds of people around him, the little guy didn't give up and kept looking around with his eyes busy.

Duofu looked like an adult man, but people could tell he was a child just by looking at his childish face. He was accompanied by another child who was a few years old. The two children caught the eye of some people with ulterior motives.

One person seized the opportunity, picked up Duo Le, and quickly and accurately covered his nose with a handkerchief that had been prepared beforehand.
