Gu Lingxiao: "There are very few houses for sale over there. The house I bought was only because of a friend's introduction."
Lu Zhixia: "You bought this just so your child could live here? Who will take care of the child then? Will you hire a nanny?"
Gu Lingxiao nodded, "I bought it so that the child could live there. I hired a live-in nanny to take care of him."
Lu Zhixia thought of the little boy, who was also being cared for by a nanny. She wondered how he was doing now.
When you go back to look at houses, you can stop by and take a look. Maybe the two kids will even know each other. If that happens, that would be pretty good.
"Ice cream! Ice cream!"
The flight attendant's voice came from afar.
"Want some ice cream?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
“Yes, one is enough,” Lu Zhixia said.
The two people on the upper bunk knew he was going to buy ice cream. They looked at each other and then excitedly said...
"Comrade, could you bring me an ice cream?"
"I want one too."
Gu Lingxiao looked up at them and said, "Then we'll bring you whatever ice cream we buy."
The two nodded and then took money out of their bags.
Gu Lingxiao took the money they gave him, then went out to buy ice cream. He returned quickly, gave them the ice cream first, and then gave them the remaining money.
The two of them looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"You all give the same amount of money, and you all have the same amount of money left over."
"Thank you, brother!" the two said in unison.
Gu Lingxiao opened the ice cream bag in his hand and handed it to Lu Zhixia.
"This is the only flavor available."
"It's good enough to have something to eat, I'm not picky." Lu Zhixia felt that being able to eat ice cream in the stuffy train carriage was already very good, and she was very content.
The train continued its journey, and soon after more than three hours, they finally arrived at their destination.
They got off the train, then carried their luggage to the station to buy tickets for the next train.
As soon as I arrived at the ticket window, I heard an announcement saying...
"Train K128 is about to depart. Please line up for ticket inspection!"
Gu Lingxiao knew this was the bus they needed to take, so he discussed it with the people in front of him.
"Brother, can I get my tickets first? We need to take bus number 128."
The man turned his head and looked around, thinking that he wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he gave up his seat.
Gu Lingxiao immediately told the ticket seller, "Give us two sleeper tickets, side by side."
The ticket seller looked at the identification he handed over, knew he was a soldier, and dared not delay, immediately printing the ticket.
"I was lucky to get it right. I'll definitely be on time next time."
"Okay, thank you, comrade."
He handed over the two tickets, Gu Lingxiao quickly paid, and then said something to the man behind him again.
"Thanks, brother!"
"Hurry up and get your tickets checked!" the man replied.
Lu Zhixia and Gu Lingxiao then started running, because they were a few minutes late and if they didn't run, they would miss the train.
The train stopped just as they arrived at the platform, and their carriage happened to be on the right side of the platform, so they took their tickets and boarded.
Having found their spot, both of them were panting heavily; the sky outside had completely darkened.
Their faces were covered in sweat. Lu Zhixia took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat, and she was still panting.
The flight attendant came over and said, "Please show me your tickets."
Gu Lingxiao handed him the ticket. "Comrade, I'd like to ask if the train is delayed?"
"No, it will arrive on time if there is a delay." After checking the tickets, the train conductor returned them to them and then went to check other people's tickets.
After the tickets for this carriage were checked, he went to the next carriage.
Lu Zhixia took out her water glass and drank, not daring to drink too fast and only taking small sips, thinking that it was fortunate she hadn't slept before.
The moment she pulled back the covers, a pocket watch fell to the ground.
There was a loud bang.
Gu Lingxiao picked it up immediately upon seeing it and found it to be a nice pocket watch, clearly left behind by the previous passenger.
Just then, there was a knock on the window, and a middle-aged man gestured to them.
Gu Lingxiao looked at the photo inside the pocket watch and confirmed it belonged to this man. He tried to open the car window to return the pocket watch, but he couldn't open it.
So all I could say to him was, "I'll give it to the train conductor, and you can come and pick it up tomorrow!"
I repeated myself several times, afraid the other person wouldn't hear me, and the man nodded heavily.
Then the train started moving, and the man chased it for a few steps before giving up.
The train conductor came in and asked, "What were you doing just now? Why were you shouting so loudly!"
Gu Lingxiao handed him the pocket watch. "It was left behind by the last passenger. He didn't have time to get on the train. I told him I would give it to you and that he could pick it up at the train station tomorrow!"
The train conductor frowned, remembering how one of his colleagues had been punished for a similar incident last time, so he could only say...
“You found the item, so leave me your address and I’ll have him contact you later. That way, there won’t be any mistakes.”
