Cheng Zhenzhu's luggage was slightly heavier. She'd already packed dried seafood and other items. Besides dried fish, shrimp, and squid... she also had plenty of fish maw, specially prepared for her older sister during her confinement.

Then there's the food and drink for the train. This time, we've prepared steamed cornbread with various fillings, fried dumplings, hard-boiled eggs, and two pots of honey water. We've also got snacks like biscuits, candy, dried sweet potatoes, and shredded squid. And three cans of sea snake wine, all of which we've stored in our space...

The six children were already sweating after packing their luggage. Cheng Zhenzhu had them drink a few sips of cold water mixed with ocean blue water and then boiled water for them to bathe. Over the years, although she would use two drops of ocean blue water every once in a while, there was always some left in the glass jade bottle, now with over twenty drops.

Seeing the stinky mud on their bodies again, the others began to scrub it with familiarity. Seven and Eight had done this several times and were gradually familiar with the process. As long as they scrubbed the black mud clean and then washed it, the smell would disappear and their bodies would feel very comfortable...

After the children finished their baths, Cheng Zhenzhu took a relaxing bath and washed her hair. Now her hair is black and shiny, and it's growing really well. Once, when she was in Haishi, someone stopped her and offered her a dollar to buy her hair, which made her laugh and cry...

After a bath, it was time for dinner, sleep, and playing. The six little ones chirped excitedly at the head of the bed. The next morning, they woke up full of energy. Cheng Zhenzhu gave each of them a large white bread bun and then made half a cup of powdered milk.

"One, two, three, four, five, plus me, six, that's right." After breakfast, Yitiao stood in front of Cheng Zhenzhu and reported loudly, "Mom, my brothers are here."

Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, "Well, let's go."

After closing the yard gate, six children wearing the same clothes and sandals, carrying backpacks embroidered with animal patterns, lined up in front. They looked very proud, laughing, clapping their hands, and stamping their feet all the way, looking extremely happy.

Cheng Zhenzhu followed behind, carrying a large black bag in her left hand and six hemp ropes in her other hand, each tied with a string. Traveling with six children is no easy task, and the train is crowded and crowded, so she had to hold them tightly...

After getting off the boat, the eldest brother started counting one by one, counted again before getting on the bus, and counted for the fifth time when he got on the train. After counting, he arranged seats for his younger brothers, patted their heads and told them to sit down obediently.

Seven and Eight were assigned to the bottom bunk. The two little ones were a little carsick, but they didn't cry or make a fuss. Now they stretched out their short legs and cuddled up to each other, looking so docile, soft, and easy to move.

Cheng Zhenzhu applied some motion sickness medicine to San Tiao, Qi Tiao, and Ba Tiao, expressing her satisfaction with their performance. Especially Yi Tiao, his right-hand man. The little guy was only ten years old, but he already looked like a mature big brother...

"Let's all drink some water." The train in July was still crowded and stuffy. Cheng Zhenzhu took out the kettle and let them drink some cool honey water.

"Mom, it's delicious~" When it was Liu Tiao's turn, the little guy took a few big gulps.

"Even if it's delicious, don't drink too much, or you'll be craving the restroom soon." Going to the restroom on the train was a real hassle, especially with six kids. She didn't want to be caught off guard, so it was best to drink less...

Liu Tiao nodded, then took another sip and said to his mother, "One last sip~"

Cheng Zhenzhu rubbed her forehead and said, "I can't afford to be a foodie."

"A little bit ~ comfortable ~" San Tiao was a well-behaved boy. He followed his mother's instructions, drank two small sips, and then handed the kettle to his mother.

"I'm glad you're not feeling any worse..." Cheng Zhenzhu also took a sip, put away the kettle, and then took out lunch. "Do you want to eat now?"

"Food!" Ba Tiao happily stretched out his two little paws.

The honey water was ice-cold and slightly sweet. After drinking it, the little kids felt their heat dissipate and their appetites improved. Each of them ordered two steamed buns and a handful of shredded squid, which they devoured with gusto.

Half an hour later, because they went to bed late and got up early, and had a long car ride, the children shared a bed with two people. After eating and playing for a while, they all fell asleep, leaving Wang Qiaoyun, who was holding her eldest grandson opposite her, stunned.

I didn't know kids could be this well behaved! This older woman can take care of six kids so easily! Today was truly an eye-opener... And then I looked at my own grandson, who had been making a fuss ever since he got on the train, his cries roiling the entire car. Only now that he was asleep could she finally catch her breath...

Comparisons are truly frustrating! Her grandson usually brings her a lot of joy, but after this train ride, she feels like she's lost all his love. If she keeps crying, she'll throw him away...

In the evening, around six o'clock.

When Liu Zi Tiao woke up, there was only a little light outside, and the dark shadows of the treetops outside the window passed by quickly, as if they were in a hurry.

"Mom, I have to pee." After Liu Tiao finished biting a sweet potato chip, he climbed off the bed with his butt sticking up, pulling at his shoes with his feet and pulling at his pants in a hurry.

"Didn't I tell you not to drink so much water?" Er Tiao also climbed down and put his shoes on Liu Tiao.

"Come down." Liu Tiao wanted to go to the toilet, so Cheng Zhenzhu took all six children over to take care of this important matter in their lives.

After finishing, she never forgot to count. Cheng Zhenzhu jokingly led the children back to their beds and gave them eggs and steamed bread. Wang Qiaoyun, seeing the children across the street enjoying their meals, asked someone on the train for a box lunch with a poached egg to feed her eldest grandson.

The child was hungry after making so much noise all the way, and seeing his brothers and sisters across the street eating happily, he also ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Wang Qiaoyun was very pleased about this. After eating a few mouthfuls, she saw that her grandson didn't want to eat anymore, so she finished the rest of the rice and teased him happily.

Wang Qiaoyun thought to herself, as expected, with more children, meals taste even better...

Three days later, Cheng Zhenzhu led the six children off the train. The children were finally awakened, and they all rubbed their eyes in confusion.

"Mom, are we there yet?" someone asked.

"Well, we're here." Cheng Zhenzhu gargled with the children, then wiped their faces and hands with a handkerchief and gave each of them a tomato. "Let's rest for a while."

The train ride was quite grueling, so she took her time. She had to get the three jars of sea snake wine out first, otherwise it would be difficult to get them out when she got home...

"Yeah." Several of them nodded obediently, buried their heads in the tomatoes and started to eat them, chewing them until they were juicy. After a few bites, they looked at each other and suddenly became happy.

"Second sister?" Ever since the family received a letter from the second sister, Cheng Zhenbao had recently been going to the train station early in the morning. After all, it was close, so it didn't take much effort. That day, as soon as he entered the station, he saw his second sister. To be more precise, he saw a few children next to her.

The dolls were wearing the same clothes, each holding a bag and a large tomato, chewing on them with relish. But it felt like the dolls were a bit crowded today...
