Lu Wei led Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding onto the green train. The train they were taking was from Shanghai to Guangzhou. There were already quite a few passengers on the train, and it was crowded.

The tall Lu Wei walked in front carrying the luggage and leading the way. He looked back at Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding from time to time, worried that they were not keeping up.

Ye Zhi held Ye Xiaoding's hand with one hand and carried Ye Xiaoding's luggage with the other.

Ye Zhi didn't dare to stay too far away from Lu Wei, and was almost walking close to his back.

Because the trains in the 1970s were like the Spring Festival travel rush, and everyone carried a lot of luggage.

Sometimes when they were walking and the place was too crowded, Ye Zhi would reach out and pull at the hem of his clothes.

Lu Wei had just told Ye Zhi which carriage they were going to, but there were too many people in the station and her ears were filled with all kinds of incomprehensible accents, so she couldn't hear clearly at all. Now I am completely in the dark and don’t even know which car to go to or where I am.

After passing through several carriages, the noise finally died down and they arrived at the sleeper car.

At this moment, Lu Wei turned around and looked at Ye Zhi, saying, "It's just one more car, follow closely."

Ye Zhi said: "Well, just go forward, we will follow you."

The few of them continued walking forward, and when they arrived at a carriage, Lu Wei was in front of a sleeper compartment, holding the ticket in his hand, seemingly checking the number on the ticket.

Ye Zhi also looked at the ticket number and it was definitely here.

However, there was an old lady lying on the berth with her legs crossed, looking relaxed and resting with her eyes closed.

Ye Zhi glanced at Lu Wei and saw helplessness in his eyes. It seemed that this was not the first time he had encountered such a thing.

She went forward and shouted, "Auntie, you are sitting in the wrong seat."

But the aunt just groaned, did not open her eyes, and turned her back.

Ye Zhi was not used to such people. Not to mention that in this era, buying a sleeper berth required a letter of introduction from Lu Wei, and it was also expensive.

Besides, they still have to take a day and a night by train, so how can they give their space to others?

Ye Zhi glanced around the berth and saw that no one else had come up yet. She then knocked on the iron berth frame, which immediately produced an ear-piercing sound.

The sound was not loud in the large carriage, but it was a bit harsh in the small sleeper compartment.

The lady immediately cried out, "Ouch! What are you doing? My ears..."

Ye Zhi cleared her throat and smiled faintly: "Auntie, you are sitting in the wrong seat. This is our sleeper car seat."

After hearing this, the old lady snorted in annoyance, "Comrade, I won't hide it from you. My waist and legs are not in good condition. When I squeezed into the car, someone hit my waist. Now it hurts so much that I can't even get up. You young and strong people should be able to bear the squeeze, but my old bones are useless. Why don't you change seats for me? What do you think?"

Ye Zhi kept smiling, but kicked Ye Xiaoding who was sitting on the luggage, and said, "Aunt, although I really want to help you, but look at my nephew, he has had a stomachache since this morning, and now he is almost exhausted from diarrhea and can't even walk."

After saying that, Ye Xiaoding breathed "weakly", grabbed Ye Zhi's feet, and cried pitifully: "Auntie, I want to sleep..."

The aunt couldn't help but droop her face, but after looking at the two tickets in their hands, she said, "Didn't you three buy two berths? How about this, this soldier comrade can give an old bone like me a seat, and you two aunt and nephew can sleep on the same berth, right?"

After saying that, the aunt looked at Lu Wei, who was dressed in military uniform, and seemed to be very familiar with doing this.

If Lu Wei dared to say no, this aunt would probably make him too embarrassed to stay in the carriage in a few minutes.

Ye Xiaoding suddenly cried out "Ouch" twice: "No, Auntie, my aunt is pregnant and it's not even three months old yet. She needs to be taken care of carefully."

"Ouch, my stomach hurts again..."

Lu Wei nodded: "Yes, I have to take care of my wife."

Even if there was no doll, he was still worried about leaving Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding here alone.

This is not a lie.

The aunt's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. She was an old person, and met two weak and young ones. There was no way she should have to change her seat!

Seeing this, Ye Zhi smiled more brightly at the auntie: "Auntie, I was thinking of calling the flight attendant to come over and take a look. Didn't we just arrive at the station? Everyone is busy, and I am embarrassed to call them for such a small matter. Now I see that you are not feeling well, and there are vacancies in this berth anyway. I will call the flight attendant to give you a berth so that you can sleep more comfortably."

Then, Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei beside her and said, "Comrade Lu, please ask the flight attendant to buy this aunt a sleeper berth ticket."

After saying that, the aunt's face changed, and she quickly struggled to get up from the berth, pulling Lu Wei who was about to leave, and said: "Oh, no, no, I actually have only a few stops to get off. I can still hold on if I grit my teeth."

"Comrade soldier, I can do it by myself. You take good care of your wife. I see this is your wife's first child, so you have to be careful..."

After saying that, he quickly packed his luggage and walked towards the hard seat carriage.

Watching the auntie leave, Ye Zhi gave Ye Xiaoding a thumbs up and said, "You did a good job. I'll give you a candy as a reward."

She can even come up with this idea when she’s less than three months pregnant. What a smart little girl!

Ye Xiaoding took the candy and chuckled: "Grandma said that if you meet someone shameless, you just need to be more shameless than her."

Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi and smiled. If he were to travel alone this time, he would probably have no choice but to accept defeat.

Wearing this military uniform represents responsibility and serving the people.

But now he is not alone, he also has to take care of his wife and children.

Fortunately, Ye Zhi solved the problem perfectly.

It not only maintained his reputation as a soldier, but also prevented others from taking advantage of him.

Ye Zhi met Lu Wei's gaze and smiled: "Put your luggage away first, there may be other people coming later."

There are 4 berths in this sleeper compartment. They bought two, so there are two left. I guess more people will come later.

Lu Wei responded: "Okay."

Lu Wei obediently put the luggage away, and Ye Zhi took out the cloth she had prepared earlier, opened it, and spread it on the berth. However, the berths were very small, and Ye Zhi brought the cloth to take to Qiongzhou Island.

Ye Zhi tried several times but failed to get the cloth in order. Suddenly, a shadow fell over. Lu Wei took the cloth from Ye Zhi and said, "I'll do it."

Ye Zhi was burned by Lu Wei's warm palm, handed the cloth in her hand to him, took a step back calmly, and said, "Then you come."

Lu Wei took the cloth, squeezed towards Ye Zhi's seat, and then tidied the berth neatly.

The berth compartment was already pitifully small, and Lu Wei's tall body was already crowded enough when he stuck it there. Now two adults standing together could only huddle close to each other.

Ye Zhi observed Lu Wei making the bed. He had taken off his military jacket and was only wearing a white shirt. His long sleeves were neatly folded in two, revealing his muscular arm muscles. Looking up, she could see his sexy Adam's apple and well-defined jawline.

Ye Zhi suddenly remembered the wedding photo they took when they got their marriage certificate.

Lu Wei is really handsome and charming.

She posted four photos of them in total, and she gave one to her family. Last night, when they were talking all night, her two sisters-in-law held the photo and said with a smile that Lu Wei was good-looking and handsome, and that they were a perfect match.

Ye Zhi is a person who cares about appearance, so naturally she likes handsome guys.

But she never expected that she would marry such a handsome and upright soldier, and she didn't dare to flirt with him easily even if she wanted to.

She was almost suffocating.

The next second, Ye Zhi met Lu Wei's gaze, and she withdrew her gaze in a daze.

Glancing at the made-up berth, he once again sighed that Lu Wei was not only good-looking, but also had his quilt made neatly without even a wrinkle to be seen!

Is this the basic quality of a soldier?

Lu Wei saw the shock in Ye Zhi's eyes and said calmly, "Take a rest. I'll get you something to eat."

Ye Zhi held him back and said, "No, I'm not hungry."

It's summer now and there's no air conditioning on the green train. Although the smell is more fluid than on the hard seats, there's still a weird smell.

She really can't eat anything now.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Wei handed her a pot of water and said, "Drink some water."

"Well, you should sit down and rest too."

Both berths were lower berths. Lu Wei and Ye Zhi sat on berths facing each other, looking at each other.

Ye Zhi had never had the experience of riding a long-distance train alone with a man. Although Ye Xiaoding was there, the little guy had already occupied a small corner and was taking a nap.

Ye Xiaoding had never been on a train before and was a little excited at first. But in order not to cause trouble for Ye Zhi, he only dared to look here and there, but did not walk around or talk much. He was much more well-behaved than before.

Just when Ye Zhi didn't know how to find a topic to talk about, two more people came into the carriage.

After a few people exchanged greetings, the train began to move slowly forward.

Looking at the scenery outside the window receding, Ye Zhi felt a little sleepy and fell asleep next to the sleepy Ye Xiaoding.

Just when she was in a daze, Ye Zhi seemed to hear Lu Wei saying a few words to Ye Xiaoding.

Soon, her bent body had room to stretch. She slightly adjusted herself into a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Wei's dark eyes glared at the sleeping Ye Zhi, and whispered to Ye Xiaoding, "Sleep on my side."

Ye Xiaoding asked: "Uncle, what about you?"

Lu Wei opened his thin lips slightly: "I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep."

He has to take good care of his wife.

Of course, this is not the only thing Lu Wei was thinking about.

The green train stopped and started, and it took a whole day and night to reach the terminal.

Guangzhou.

Ye Zhi almost vomited when she thought back to the bitterness of this journey.

Lu Wei and Ye Xiaoding, however, seemed as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking well.

Whether on the train or arriving at Yangcheng Railway Station, I still feel refreshed.

And Ye Zhi already looked like a withered leaf.

When they reached the station square, Ye Zhi breathed in the fresh air and felt a little better.

Ye Xiaoding looked at the train station in Yangcheng and said in shock: "What a tall building!"

“Are all houses in big cities this tall?!”

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "It should be quite a few, but not all."

Before she could catch her breath, Lu Wei took them back on the bus.

The summer in Guangzhou is so hot that people feel like melting. Getting on the bus is like getting into a steamer. Your clothes are dry when you get on, but dripping wet when you get off.

I was sweating from the heat.

Fortunately, there were only a few stops, and Lu Wei quickly took them off the bus.

Ye Zhi originally thought that Lu Wei would take them directly to the family compound of his mother's hospital, but who knew that they would end up at the state-owned guesthouse.

Lu Wei saw her confusion and said, "Our boat will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. This place is closer to the dock."

The guesthouse was on the second floor. Ye Zhi opened the window and looked out. It turned out that Taikoo Pier was just a hundred meters away.

This was Guangzhou’s trading port in the 1970s, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

Ye Zhi looked back at Lu Wei and asked, "When are we going to see your mother?"

Lu Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "I just called her. She is about to go on a business trip and there is an important meeting that she must host."

His father was originally on a transfer and should have gone to the war zone in the southwest by now.

Lu Wei explained: "This happened suddenly, please forgive me."

Ye Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal. We will meet again one day."

She was worried that she didn't have time to buy anything in Guangzhou.

Wouldn't this give her a chance to show her skills?

She wants to add some flavor to her upcoming island life.

expect!

Ye Zhi was in a very good mood at the moment. She picked out her favorite dress from a pile of luggage, then prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and then go out for a good meal.

Seeing Ye Zhi's unconcealed excitement, Lu Wei suddenly couldn't help asking, "After coming to Yangcheng, do you not want to go to Qiongzhou Island anymore?"

Ye Zhi's face was filled with joy. "Can I not go?"

Lu Wei's breath got stuck in his throat, and he asked back with a dark face: "What do you think?"
