Upon hearing this, Su He's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she silently gave Shu Qing a thumbs up.

That's really bold!

However, Shu Qing blushed after speaking, looking shy.

Seeing this, Su He didn't ask any more questions.

Fortunately, it was almost time to depart.

Lin's father and Lin Jingyan came to see them off. They were worried about the three women going out together, but they were relieved to have Su He, a former police officer, with them.

However, I still gave them quite a few instructions.

Lin Jingyan escorted them all the way to the car. Since Lin's father had bought them sleeper berths, they didn't have to worry about resting along the way.

But since everyone on the bus was a stranger, Lin Jingyan still gave them a lot of instructions.

Just before the bus was about to depart, Su He pushed him to get off the bus, saying, "Alright, hurry up and get off, or you'll be locked inside."

Lin Jingyan sighed helplessly and finally instructed, "Don't sleep too soundly tonight, and remember to call me when you arrive."

Su He nodded in agreement, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Mom and the others."

"Okay, take care on your journey."

"Yes, you too. Take good care of Yuanyuan and Grandpa and Grandma at home."

"good!"

...

Lin Jingyan had just gotten off the train when it started moving again.

With a clanging sound, the train went further and further away until Lin Jingyan's figure was no longer visible. Only then did Su He leave from the window and return to her bunk.

This time, all the tickets they bought were for the same carriage, specifically the upper, middle, and lower berths.

Although the lower bunk is the most convenient, it also has more problems and is the least safe, so Su He slept in it by herself. The upper bunk is too high, and it is inconvenient for Lin's mother to go up, so she slept in the middle bunk, and the upper bunk was left for Shu Qing.

Shu Qing had no objections, but suggested that they take turns sleeping in the lower bunk and take turns keeping watch at night.

Su He thought about it and didn't refuse.

After all, it would take them four days and four nights by train to get to the southern province they were going to, and she would probably be exhausted if she had to work the night shift all by herself.

Although Shu Qing is in a performing arts troupe, she is also a soldier and needs to train regularly, so her physical strength should not be bad either.

That's how they made the arrangements.

When Lin's mother saw this, she didn't insist on including her, since she knew that Lin was not in good health and that taking good care of herself without causing any trouble was already a great help.

After boarding the train, they did not immediately go to bed, but first tidied up their belongings.

Because we left in a hurry, we didn't communicate in advance. Only after organizing our belongings did we realize that we had brought quite a lot of food.

Everyone brought portions for others, especially Su He. She usually eats a lot, and Grandma Su was worried that she wouldn't have anything to eat on the train, so she stayed up all night last night to steam buns for her. So at this moment, she was carrying more than thirty large steamed buns in her backpack.

I guess they used up all the refined grains they had for the past two months.

Lin's mother also brought a lot of malted milk powder pastries in addition to food, probably knowing Su He's appetite and afraid that she would go hungry.

Shu Qing brought too little food; she didn't know Su He's appetite and only brought enough for three people.

I was a little surprised to see they brought so much. "Did you bring things back with you?"

Su He shook her head and explained, "No, it's mainly because I eat a lot. Each time I eat the amount that an average person would eat in several meals."

Shu Qing understood immediately and didn't think it was a bad thing. She simply said, "I know. You can eat without worry. There's a dining car on the train if you're still hungry. We can go buy more later."

"good."
