Chapter 639: Arrival at Hai City (Page 1/2)

Lin Man dragged her exhausted body and endured two long nights and one day in the noisy train carriage.

Every minute and every second seemed to be infinitely stretched, and time seemed to be frozen in this difficult journey.

Finally, after thirty-six hours of suffering, the morning sunlight of the third day shone through the car window onto her slightly haggard face.

At this time, the clock pointed to eight forty-five, and the train slowly entered the Haishi station.

You should know that the straight-line distance between Jing City and Hai City is about 1,200 kilometers.

The ordinary train that Lin Man was riding was running slowly, stopping for a long time at each station, and it took 36 hours to reach the destination.

Looking out the window at the unfamiliar scenery, Lin Man secretly made up her mind: Next time I go home, I must choose the express train! It will probably take only twenty hours to arrive.

Lin Man knew that within a few years, the train speed would be further increased, and it would only take a dozen hours to get from Jing City to Hai City.

When the train came to a complete stop, Lin Man couldn't wait to stand up, holding the heavy luggage bag tightly in one hand, and dragging the huge suitcase with the other hand with great effort, following the crowd surging like a tide, moving quickly towards the exit.

As soon as she stepped off the platform, Lin Man spotted Huo Qingci. He was holding up a piece of white paper with the words "Pick up my wife: Lin Man!" written in large letters.

At this moment, he was standing quietly at the exit, like a firm lighthouse, waiting for Lin Man's arrival.

Huo Qingci stood in the bustling crowd, his eyes sharp as a torch, and instantly caught sight of the conspicuous figure that stood out like a crane among chickens - that was his wife Lin Man, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

He quickly and carefully folded the snow-white paper in his hand repeatedly, and then gently put it into his shirt pocket.

After doing all this, a smile as bright as the warm spring sun blossomed on his face. He waved his arms happily towards Lin Man and shouted loudly: "Manman, here!"

With Huo Qingci's shout, the originally noisy crowd around him suddenly turned their heads and looked in his direction as if they were under a spell.

Huo Qingci didn't care about the curious looks from the people around him at all. He took big strides and ran quickly towards Lin Man.

As soon as he got closer, he stretched out his hands and naturally took the heavy luggage bag and the slightly large suitcase from Lin Man's hands, and said with concern: "Manman, you have worked hard on the journey. Just let me carry these heavy things."

After a long train journey, Lin Man was already exhausted.

Seeing Huo Qingci being so considerate, she didn't refuse too much and let him take the luggage from her hands.

"Qingci, what car did you take here?" Lin Man asked softly.

"Hehe, I specially went to borrow a car from our dean. I'll just have to pay for the gas when I go back to his unit." Huo Qingci replied with a smile.

And so, the two walked side by side.

Along the way, they walked through the crowded crowds and streets. After about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the parking lot.

Huo Qingci first gently put down the suitcase and luggage bag in his hands, then reached into his trouser pocket, fumbling for a moment and pulling out a key. With a crisp "click", the car door opened.

Afterwards, Huo Qingci quickly and neatly placed all the luggage on the back seat.

Then, he walked around to the other side, opened the passenger door attentively, and gently gestured for Lin Man to get in. After Lin Man sat down,

Huo Qingci just returned to the driver's seat, started the car and drove slowly forward.

The car drove smoothly on the road. Huo Qingci was concentrating on steering the wheel, and occasionally turned his head to chat with Lin Man beside him: "Manman, did the children at home cry when you came to Hai City this time?"

"I didn't cry, but they were all very reluctant to see me leave."

"Are grandpa and mom and dad all right?"

"Grandpa and Dad are in good health, but Mom looks quite haggard. She's taking care of three children all by herself, and it must be very hard for them to do the laundry, cooking, and bathing every day."

When Huo Qingci thought of his ignorant brother, he felt that it was too much for him to throw the two children back to his parents' home and want them to take care of them forever.

"Qingyan and his sister-in-law have gone too far. They actually put the blame on the child and put it on the parents."

"You know what? Grandpa mentioned in advance that the college entrance examination would be resumed. When Song Jingjing heard that Huo Qinghuan was going to register for the college entrance examination, she wanted to sign up too.

My mother told me that she paid a teacher to give her extra lessons so she could get into university. She even sent An Ran to live next door with Liao Sijie and my aunt.

"What? Are you saying that your sister-in-law dumped An Ran at Lin Jing's house next door?"

"Yes, I heard that Liao Sijie will help take care of the child. She will pay one dollar a day and take the child back in the evening."

Huo Qingci didn't expect Song Jingjing to be so outrageous. First, she threw her youngest son to his parents, and then threw her eldest daughter over. Now, in order to get admitted, she even threw her second niece who had heart problems to the next door and asked her cousin Liao Sijie to help her take care of her.

My nephew Huo Yichen is in school, so the nanny only needs to take care of my little niece Huo Anyan and buy groceries and cook at the same time.

Song Jingjing goes out to make up lessons after eating every day. When she comes back, she doesn’t have to take care of the children or do housework. She just needs to open her mouth and wait for dinner.

Isn't this the behavior of a capitalist daughter? Grandpa has such poor taste. How could he let his brother marry such an irresponsible woman?

"Manman, there are a lot of candidates from all over the country this time. Without real talent, you won't be able to get into university.

Qinghuan's grades are already good, and he listened to us and reviewed for so many years, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to get into university.

Song Jingjing should be in a difficult situation. After all, she hasn't touched a book in so many years. I guess the money she spent on tutoring this time will be wasted."

Lin Man just smiled. Whether Song Jingjing could get into college or not had nothing to do with her.

"Qingci, before I left, I sent five kilograms of Gastrodia elata to Dr. Shan's mother, and I also gave her wife two kilograms. Guess what happened to it in the end?"

Huo Qingci answered casually, "Did she give the two kilograms of Gastrodia elata to her family?"

Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci who was driving with a look of surprise. How did he know that Qiu Mingyue liked to throw herself at her family?

"I don't know whether she gave the two kilograms of Gastrodia elata to her family. Later, she bought another three kilograms from me. I heard that she wanted to take it back to her mother. She asked me not to tell her husband, and you should not tell Dr. Shan either."

Huo Qingci didn't want to get involved in Shan Ke's family affairs, so he asked Lin Man, "Manman, did Shan Ke's wife give you money?"

"I gave him sixty-six dollars, and I put it all in the drawer for the children's living expenses."
