Chapter 1170 It's never good to make too much of a fuss.
The guesthouse wasn't too far from the station, and Team Leader Zhou had arranged two pedicabs in advance to help them take their luggage to the station.
They set off lightly, simply following the tricycles.
On the way back, there was a lot more luggage. In order to ensure that everyone could get on the train smoothly, Team Leader Zhou thought of a distant relative who worked at the train station and whom he had not seen for many years and who was beyond the fifth degree of kinship.
Of course, Captain Zhou paid the price of a pack of cigarettes so that they could move their belongings through the exit before the train tickets were checked.
At this time, there were no security checks like in later years. The staff asked a few simple questions, checked their letters of introduction and work permits, and randomly inspected a few pieces of luggage before letting them onto the platform to wait for their train.
Regardless, it's always easier to get things done if you have connections in the central government.
Everyone seemed fine as they walked over from that side, except for Wan Qing, who looked like she was about to cry, but no one mentioned it.
Although she had no evidence, she felt that her fall was very suspicious and that Chu Xue was definitely involved, so she looked at Chu Xue with hostility the whole way.
Chu Xue thought to herself: If you don't stop now, you'll lose your knees.

In Beijing, Xia Qiu arrived too late; she couldn't get there before Xiao's mother started the errand.
She managed to get to the city before her mother was discharged from the hospital, but when she arrived home, no one was home. Upon asking, she learned that her mother was still in the hospital and had given birth to a boy.
When Xia Qiu heard that it was her younger brother, her eyes welled up with tears as she smiled. For some reason, she was even happier than when she found out she had given birth to a son.
He temporarily stored the things he had brought at his neighbor's house, then thanked them and hurried to the hospital.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Xiao's mother was directing Xiao's father to pick up things from the floor. She was holding her son and teasing him, saying, "Son, Mom will take you home in a little while."
Seeing that her husband was almost done getting ready, she asked, "When are Dad and the others coming?"
Mr. Xiao paused, then said, “They went to the market to buy chickens. I specially arranged to switch shifts with someone. I’ll carry the things in a bit, and you just need to hold our son.”
Xiao's mother frowned immediately: "How should we answer?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao's father laughed and said, "I'll give you a ride on my bike, otherwise how will I get back?"
Xiao's mother looked displeased: "When Nianchun went back from the hospital before, Dad found a car to take her back. I gave birth to your son. Even if it wasn't for me, my son is still his grandson."
Little did Xiao's father know that Xiao's mother was still thinking of taking a car home: "Now that Dad has retired, where am I going to find a car? The hospital isn't far from home. I'll give you a ride and we'll be home in no time."
Everyone in Xiao's hospital room was looking at her. Suppressing her displeasure, she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Changsheng, even if Dad has retired, it shouldn't be difficult for him to ask to borrow a car. Nianchun, who is married out, can ride in a car, but I, who gave birth to a son for your Xiao family, can't?"
Mr. Xiao looked troubled: "The hospital is only a fifteen-minute walk from home, and besides, it's not cold now. It's not good to make too much of a fuss."
Just as Xiao's mother took a deep breath, preparing to speak again, Fu Yancheng strode in: "Mom and Dad."
When Mr. Xiao heard his son-in-law's voice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that his daughter-in-law would stop making things difficult for him for his sake: "Yancheng, what brings you here?"
Fu Yancheng smiled as he looked at the swaddled baby in his mother-in-law's arms: "I got a few bags of milk powder a few days ago. I happened to be passing by today on business, so I thought I'd deliver them to your home. When I got there, I found out you were at the hospital, so I came over."
Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother immediately asked, "How did you get here?"
