After hearing Shen Yuan's suggestion, the conductor also agreed: "Yes! Comrade, why don't you pay this comrade and ask her to give up her bed to you."

When the woman heard that she had to pay, she became even more angry: "Why should I give her money? I also bought the upper bunk, can't I just change it?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Baige didn't tolerate her.

"You know you bought the upper bunk, I thought you bought the train!"

"We're all spending the same amount of money, yet you're showing off as soon as you show off. You're acting like a capitalist."

When the woman heard her say this, she was so scared that she pointed at Jiang Baige.

"You, you are slandering me."

They were making a lot of noise here, so someone went to ask the conductor to come over.

From the back of the crowd, someone shouted, "Make way, the conductor is coming."

The woman wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she heard the conductor coming, she fell silent.

Holding her son, she stepped aside.

The train conductor was a man in his fifties with furrowed eyebrows, looking very serious. As soon as he arrived, the whole carriage fell silent.

The train conductor asked, "What are you all doing here? All those who are not involved should disperse."

After hearing his words, many passengers who were watching the fun returned to their seats.

The train attendant had just started working and she had no idea how to solve such a problem.

Hearing the conductor's question, he quickly replied, "Conductor, this female comrade bought an upper bunk, but she came in and refused to climb onto her own bed. Instead, she insisted on taking this comrade's bed. Please let her move out."

The conductor said, "Comrade, how could you be like this? Everyone is equal, you know!"

"You can't just take advantage of the fact that you have a child and ask others to give in to you unconditionally."

The woman held the child and her expression became particularly ugly.

But even though so many people thought she was unreasonable, she still muttered to herself.

"I have a child with me, and it's not convenient to climb up."

The conductor said, "If you'd like, there's a seat in the aisle at the back. You two can go there!"

The woman thought about her husband's letter asking her to look after the children, and that was why she had spent a lot of money to buy the sleeper berth. If she changed it, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?

He said hesitantly, "This is a sleeper berth. Wouldn't it be a loss if I changed it?"

The conductor quickly said, "There's also a berth over there, but it's in the aisle, and it's more convenient than yours."

When the woman heard about the sleeper berth, she quickly agreed.

"Okay, I'll change then."

She picked up the two large sacks on the side and glared hatefully at Jiang Baige on the bed.

"snort."

Jiang Baige was too lazy to pay attention to her. It was better to go somewhere else so that they could have some peace and quiet.

After they left, Shen Yuan said, "Where's my mother? This woman is so scary."

"Is this true for all married people with children?"

He ran away in the first place because his family wanted to find him a partner. It seems that his decision was right.

After the woman left, Jiang Baige closed the carriage door and the carriage became quiet instantly.

Jiang Baige thought his words were a bit extreme and quickly asked him to stop.

"How can you generalize everyone? This is just one person among a hundred."

Shen Yuan's expression was a little embarrassed, "Wrong, wrong, don't take it seriously!"

After the woman left, no one moved into their carriage until evening.

The same thing happened the next day. The three of them were so happy and quiet that they stayed inside without opening the door except for going out to wash and turn on the water.

On the afternoon of the third day, the train finally arrived in Shanghai and slowly stopped on the platform.

The three of them got off the car together. Someone came to pick up Chen Yuan. Because it was a bicycle, he couldn't take Jiang Baige and the others with him, so he separated from them first.

Jiang Baige didn't want anyone to send her back and wanted to go back by herself.

Finally, Jiang Baige and her friends took the bus back.

As she walked along the way, she couldn't help but sigh that compared with other places, Shanghai was so prosperous that it was like two different worlds.

On her way back, the best thing she saw was a small two-story blue brick and tile house.

The streets of Shanghai are already lined with three- and four-story Western-style buildings, and the streets are also very spacious.

The closer Jiang Baige got to home, the more panicked she became.

After they finally got off the bus, they helped Grandma Meng walk back to the alleyway where they lived.

The Jiang family lived in a staff dormitory, and they were divided into two rooms with a shared kitchen.

Her parents lived in the same room, and she ate and slept in their room.

She and her younger brother lived in a large room, which was divided into two parts by wooden boards, with each of them occupying half of the room.

In the corner of the balcony, Jiang's father built a stove and a toilet and shared the space with them.

When she arrived downstairs in the compound, Jiang Baige looked up and saw that the door of the house at the far end of the second floor seemed to be open.

Jiang Baige thought about it and decided that her mother must be at home.

The original owner used to call her mother downstairs when she came home, and only when she heard the voice would she run upstairs.

Jiang Baige also imitated and shouted: "Mom, Mom, I'm back."

Her voice is sweet and soft, like a kitten's, and very recognizable.

Jiang's mother was massaging her husband's legs by the bed. When she heard the noise outside, she felt like her daughter was calling.

Thinking he had misheard, he quickly stopped and listened carefully.

Puzzled, he asked Jiang's father, who was leaning against the bed: "Her father, why do I seem to hear the girl's voice?"

Father Jiang seemed to have heard it just now, but he didn't think about it that way.

The girl didn't write to say she wanted to come back, so it shouldn't be possible.

Now that I have heard what my wife said, I hurriedly spoke.

"Go and see if the child has returned from vacation."

Mother Jiang clapped her hands in delight and said, "Oh, I'll go check it out right away."

Jiang's father sprained his waist while working some time ago and has been lying at home for more than two months. Now he can only sit for a while.

He had been hiding it from the girl and hadn't told her that he had just heard a voice. He couldn't imagine how worried the girl would be when she came back.

Jiang's mother went out and lay on the balcony to look out. Who else could that pretty girl downstairs be but her own daughter?

Shouted happily: "White Dove, you are back."

When Jiang Baige heard the voice, she quickly looked up and saw Jiang's mother waving at her.

He immediately smiled widely: "Mom, I'm back."

Jiang's mother has an oval face with two dimples when she smiles. She has a very retro hairstyle, with short hair that reaches her ears. She uses hairpins to fix the hair on both sides of her ears to the back. At first glance, she looks like a smart and capable woman.

A moment later, Jiang's mother ran down.

All she had eyes for now was her daughter. There was also an old lady next to her, but she didn't see her at all.

Jiang's mother took her daughter's hand and said, "Bai Ge, why didn't you tell us you were coming back so we could pick you up at the train station?"

Jiang's mother was very enthusiastic, and Jiang Baige was inexplicably moved. She also had a family, so she quickly rushed over and hugged her mother's waist.

"Mom, I miss you so much."
