His mother said that there are a lot of people on the train, so be careful of the beggars!

"Comrade, what a coincidence! We meet again." Wang Xiongtian said this to Cheng Zhenzhu.

Cheng Zhenzhu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strange yet somewhat familiar face sitting across from her. She couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

"Little comrade, how can it be such a coincidence! It's the same train and the same carriage." Wang Xiongtian was so happy that he simply sat up.

"Grandpa Wang!" Peng Yitiao was the first to recognize him. Wasn't this the old man they'd met on the train the first time they'd visited Grandma's? He'd said his son was also a soldier, and back then, he'd told him many stories about his time there...

Peng Ertiao also recognized him and looked around excitedly, "Grandpa Wang, is that you? Where are Uncle Sun and Uncle Zhao? Why can't I see them?"

The little tigers called out "Grandpa" one by one, observing him curiously. Cheng Zhenbao also tilted his head to look up at his upper bunk. "Grandpa?" "What grandpa?"

"Your Uncle Sun and Uncle Zhao didn't come this time." Seeing that he was recognized, Wang Xiongtian smiled even more and took out a few eggs from the bag next to him to feed the children.

One, two, three, and several more followed suit, then all refused. Wang Xiongtian, seeing this, didn't insist and put the eggs back in his bag. He'd just been thinking about getting food, but now he remembered there were only four eggs in his bag, and there were five dolls here—not enough to share. He'd end up with one having some and the other not. That wouldn't do...

It turned out to be the old man she had met by chance on the train. He was so enthusiastic that she thought he was the one photographing beggars. But fate was really strange, they were actually on the same train again... Cheng Zhenzhu reacted and explained a few words to Cheng Zhenbao, who looked confused.

Cheng Zhenbao suddenly realized. It was two years ago, but he still remembered me. It was quite amazing.

"What a coincidence! Grandpa, are you going to your son's place? Are you alone this time?" Cheng Zhenzhu exchanged a few words of greeting.

The last time I met him on the train, this old man said he was on his way to visit his son and daughter-in-law, but he was accompanied by two young men...

Wang Xiongtian nodded. "Yes, I'm going to my son's place. This time, I'm going with my eldest nephew."

"What's wrong, uncle? Are we here?" Wang Dagang muttered in a daze when he heard his uncle calling his nephew.

Cheng Zhenzhu noticed a sleepy male voice coming from the top bunk across from her. Then two large feet appeared. It seemed this was the nephew that Old Man Wang had mentioned...

"No, no, no, it's still early, you go back to sleep." Wang Xiongtian waved his hand and asked his nephew to put his feet in. "Dagang, can you put your feet in? I can smell the smell..."

Wang Dagang curled his feet in, his voice a little aggrieved, "I haven't washed my feet for two days, it's normal to have a smell. But the bed is really too short, there's no place for my long legs to rest, and I didn't sleep well last night. Forget it, I won't say anymore, I have to go back to sleep. Uncle, if you need anything, just let me know..."

What the hell! It’s better to rely on this unreliable nephew than on himself! Wang Xiongtian looked at Cheng Zhenzhu and the others and said with a smile, “Excuse me, my nephew is just a scoundrel... Comrade, why do you seem to have more children? Are these two your brother’s children?”

So many kids, how enviable! In addition to the three I saw last time, there are two more this time, one big and one small, but they don't look much alike. I just heard the guy in the bunk below him call me "Second Sister", could these two extra kids be nephews?

Wang Xiongtian had a few guesses, and couldn't help but sigh. Two years had passed, and his son still hadn't given him a grandson. He said his daughter-in-law was still too young and frail, and needed more care. He didn't know how many years that would take, and he was afraid he'd die without a grandson...

"This is my brother Xiaohu, he is from my uncle's family, and this is my younger brother Liutiao, he is from our family." Peng Ertiao pointed at Xiaohu and Liutiao and introduced them to Wang Xiongtian.

Liu Tiao hugged his brother Ichijo, his eyes widening, "Liu Tiao, from Guo Guo's family."

"So that's how it is..." Wang Xiongtian laughed heartily, completely forgetting sleep. He started chatting with the children, chatting about everything from the north to the south, picking up interesting things to say. Soon, Cheng Zhenbao, who couldn't sleep, joined the chat.

Yi Tiao loved listening to Grandpa Wang tell stories about his son who was a soldier. He immediately asked about it with great interest and forgot about his motion sickness at all.

San Tiao leaned against the window, listless, occasionally sniffing the orange peels his mother had given him. The car was smelly and a bit uncomfortable... Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the wilted San Tiao, got a wet towel to wipe his face and neck, and put him to sleep on the middle bunk.

This time they bought three berths. Zhenbao took Xiaohuzi to sleep in. She took Santiao, and Liutiao stayed with his two brothers. After Santiao fell asleep, Cheng Zhenzhu went to get some water and wrung out a towel to wipe Yitiao's brothers as well.

The summer heat on Sanshi Island is bearable, and the sea breeze at night makes a fan unnecessary. But once on the train, the enclosed space, the crowds, and the heat were unbearable. Liu Tiao, who sweats easily, even got his back wet.

He wasn't carsick, though. He was incredibly excited after getting on the train, now lying on one leg, mumbling and trying repeatedly to join the conversation. However, his voice was too small to count, so he was selectively ignored. Undeterred, the little guy "hummed" and got up to help his older brother.
