Chapter 108 The Old Lady with Problems

When she said this, the woman quickly handed the child to her.

Lu Xiangxiang hugged the child and patted him. Strangely, the child calmed down as soon as he was in her arms, as if he was not the one who was crying loudly just now.

She looked at the child, who looked at her with a very innocent expression. Lu Xiangxiang's heart melted at the look in his eyes, "How can there be such a cute child?"

She spoke to the child in a clipped voice.

The child blinked his eyes and looked at her, looking very innocent. He was fair, tender, and chubby, and looked very cute.

She is completely different from his hateful grandmother, and makes people happy just by looking at her.

"Be good and don't cry." She coaxed.

"Teacher Lu didn't expect that you are so good at coaxing children." Zhong Zhihe said with a smile.

"Of course." She said proudly. When she was in the village, she was a bully in the mountains, and many children listened to her.

She is also very popular in the village because anyone who is nice to her will get candy.

When she was a child, Miao Cuihua loved her very much and always gave her candies and snacks. When the other children had nothing to eat, they would just envy the things in her hands.

Of course, she is also very popular among the little kids, and the younger ones like to play with her more.

She didn't know why, because she was not so popular in her previous life.

After coaxing the child for a while, she returned the child to the old lady. The old lady reached out to take the child, and soon the child started crying again.

Lu Xiangxiang: ...

The old woman looked at her again.

Lu Xiangxiang didn't look at her. "Take care of your own child, don't expect others to help you."

After saying that, she covered herself with the quilt and actually took out a ball of cotton from the space to plug her ears. This was something she had asked Miao Cuihua to do before, so that she would feel more comfortable when riding the train.

Now it finally comes in handy. The cotton is made of very good material and the sound insulation is also very good.

She was tired from playing around for too long last night and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Zhong Zhihe didn't dare to sleep. He planned to take turns sleeping with Lu Xiangxiang.

When Lu Xiangxiang woke up, it was already midnight, so she got up.

"Teacher Lu, are you awake?" Zhong Zhihe looked at her.

She nodded, "You haven't slept yet?"

He scratched his head sheepishly, "Yeah."

"Then you come up and sleep for a while, I'll go downstairs."

"Okay." He didn't hesitate. In fact, he was a little sleepy after holding on for so long.

He ran to the upper bunk to sleep. Lu Xiangxiang came down, opened the package, and took two eggs to eat. In fact, she wanted to eat something better, but there was no condition for that on the train, so she had to do this.

She took another steamed bun and ate it. It was only a day old and the bun was still very soft. It was delicious when dipped in meat sauce. She finished two steamed buns and drank some water from the cup, feeling very satisfied.

Lying in bed with no sleepiness, she couldn't move around and there was no light in the car. It was really boring. She suddenly missed Zhou Ziheng while lying in bed. She didn't know what he was doing now, was he thinking about her or sleeping?

At this time, a woman opened the door and walked in. She belonged to the old lady. She came back with a child in her arms. The child in her arms was probably tired of crying and didn't make any sound.

She groped her way to bed, not caring about anything else and closing her eyes to rest.

Around six in the morning, Zhong Zhihe woke up. He said to her sheepishly, "Teacher Lu, did I sleep too long?"

"No, I'm fine. Are you hungry? I have some food here."

"No, no, no, I still have some here. Grandpa told me not to cause you any trouble." He patted his cloth bag, which contained food prepared by his family. She nodded and said, "I still have a lot here. If you don't have enough, you can give it to me."

She stood up when she heard him say, "I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Yeah, okay." He responded.

Lu Xiangxiang came out of the corridor and found the bathroom. The conditions of the bathroom were not very good, so she didn't dare to look at it. She just came out after using the toilet.

After lying down for almost the entire day, she felt quite tired, so she got up to stretch her body and went to the food truck.

The dining car sold food. She took a look at what was edible, ordered two, paid her food coupons and started eating. It is better to eat something easily digestible in the morning.

After eating, she wiped her mouth and went back. It was not that she didn't want to buy food for Xiao Zhong. Xiao Zhong still had some food. If there was no food, she could buy it later.

When I returned to the berth, Xiao Zhong was already full.

When I saw her coming back, I said, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Okay." Zhong Zhihe responded and picked up the book to continue reading.

In fact, she likes to sleep when sitting in the car, and she always falls asleep like this.

The day was spent in a daze. Tomorrow, tomorrow should be their stop. Just get through tonight.

She closed her eyes and thought, but soon she heard a child crying. She didn't know when the child woke up again.

She opened her eyes. The starlight was still bright today. She could see the woman holding something in her hand and covering the child's mouth. She immediately walked forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm washing the child's face."

"Washing a baby's face in the cold night?" If she had seen correctly, she had clearly covered the child's mouth. Now that the child was no longer crying, she wouldn't believe you if you said there was nothing wrong.

"Of course I have to wipe him since he hasn't been washed for a day." The old lady said as if it was a matter of course.

"Your baby seems to have not eaten for a day, is it okay if you don't feed him?"

"I just fed him milk powder. This kid loves cleanliness. After I wiped his face, he is sleeping soundly now." She said with a smile.

Hearing her words, Lu Xiangxiang said nothing. She returned to her seat, closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. She had just asked casually.

When it was daybreak, Zhong Zhihe woke up and saw Lu Xiangxiang downstairs. He said, "Teacher Lu, go wash up."

"Is there any more food?" she asked.

“No.”

"Then I'll go get some breakfast and bring you some."

"Okay." He nodded.

Lu Xiangxiang got up and went to the dining car to buy something. The food her grandma prepared for her had already been eaten, so it would be okay to buy something to eat today.

She didn't order porridge, but ordered two steamed buns. After that, she packed three or four steamed buns to take home. This should be enough for him to eat.

Lu Xiangxiang then went to find the flight attendant and asked her to find the conductor. The conductor arrived soon. She told the conductor her suspicions, and the conductor immediately became alert. He called two more conductors over, and the three of them, along with Lu Xiangxiang, returned to their private room.

The flight attendant knocked on the door, and soon Zhong Zhihe came out to open it. When he saw Lu Xiangxiang, he was stunned and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"

"We'll talk later. Get out of the way."

Zhong Zhihe stepped aside, and the train attendants immediately went to look for the old lady. When she saw the train attendants, a flash of panic appeared in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.

Her appearance did not fool the experienced old flight attendant, who knew at a glance that there was something wrong with this old woman.
