This was her first time to ride in a soft sleeper. She had bought hard sleepers before and always felt that a day and a night was not too unbearable. She could also get home by using her seat. Besides, hard sleepers were not much better than hard seats and were much more expensive, so she just kept buying hard seats.
Things like soft sleeper cars are too expensive. They are only enough for Tian Tian to take two round trips. Besides, these seats are not something that can be bought with money, so she has never taken a soft sleeper car.
Now it seems that the soft sleeper car is really worth its price. Few people can afford it, so the soft sleeper car is very quiet, there is no strange smell, and the beds are very clean and tidy.
Apart from the swaying on the train, everything else is not bad.
Just when Tian Tian was enjoying the novel experience of the soft sleeper train, Lin Meiyu at home finally found the money Tian Tian left for them in the drawer.
When she was counting the money, she saw a thick stack of banknotes wrapped in a blue handkerchief next to the drawer. She picked it up curiously and took a look. As a result, she found a thick stack of Big Unity banknotes inside. Lin Meiyu was shocked. She took out the money and counted it. There were a total of thirty Big Unity banknotes, a total of three hundred yuan.
Lin Meiyu could guess at once that the money was left for her by Tian Tian, and her first reaction was not happiness, but heartache.
She looked at the money and almost cried. She took the money to find Old Lady Tian and said, "Mom, this should be what Tian Tian left for us. There are three hundred yuan in total. I don't know how long it took her to save so much money."
As she spoke, Lin Meiyu burst into tears.
Old Mrs. Tian borrowed the money and counted it. It was indeed three hundred yuan. She sighed in her heart, "I guess this kid was worried that you didn't have enough money to build the house, so he left you three hundred yuan."
"Speaking of this child, she only makes a dozen yuan a month at school, but she bought so many things for us when she came back at night. She saved another three hundred yuan for us. I don't know how she lives like this."
When old lady Tian thought about Tian Tian being in school every day, she dared not eat anything and spent every penny carefully. She had saved so much money, and finally had to take out all the money because her family wanted to build a house. She felt so distressed.
"And Tian Yuan, the kid, also left some money for his family when he left. He left us 200 yuan," said Lin Meiyu.
Lin Meiyu did not tell Tian Yuan that her family was going to build a house, so the money left by Tian Yuan was for Lin Meiyu and her family to spend.
Old Mrs. Tian sighed and said, "If we can keep this money for them, we should keep it for them. We won't touch their money for now. If we really have no money, we can find a way. We can save this money and give it to them when the time comes!"
Lin Meiyu also had the same idea. They always wanted to put as little burden on the children as possible. They are not in their seventies or eighties and cannot move. They can still earn money and earn a lot of work points by working in the fields. They should not spend too much money on the children. After all, it is not easy for the children to earn money now and they are alone outside.
Lin Meiyu went back into the house and put the money away.
Back at Shen Lingling's home, Shen Lingling finally made up her mind and wanted to try reselling things in the south.
She made this decision for Niu Niu, but not entirely for Niu Niu. After doing business for a few years, Shen Lingling has gained a lot of experience. She knows clearly that based on her background, if she cannot seize the recent opportunity, her life may be like this.
After that, she followed Niu Niu to the capital, and she couldn't do anything. The probability was that she would either stay at home to look after Niu Niu, or find a job helping others. No matter which one she did, she had to rely on the Fang family to survive.
Shen Lingling will never forget the contempt and disdain that the Fang family unintentionally showed to her when she first went to their house. Maybe they didn't express it in words, but they subconsciously looked down on her, and it would always be revealed in their actions unconsciously.
If it was Shen Lingling before she started selling things in the county town, she might have compromised for Niu Niu, but now Shen Lingling has been selling goods in the county town for so many years, has met so many people, and knows much more than that ordinary country girl. She is not willing to live like this for the rest of her life, nor is she willing to rely on other people to live. She also wants to try it herself. She knows that being a trader may be risky, but what in this world is risk-free? She used to sell things in the county town and was in danger of being arrested by the police.
After Shen Lingling made the decision in her heart, she did not tell her parents. She knew very well that her parents would never agree with her doing this. Instead of wasting time arguing with Tian's parents, it would be better not to tell them.
Shen Lingling only told her parents that she wanted to take Niuniu to the capital to see Fang Siwen.
Shen's father and mother welcomed it with open arms and feet. They had long wanted to let Shen Lingling go and live with Fang Siwen. The couple had been living apart for a long time, which was not a good thing, and the relationship between the two was not good.
But no matter how they persuaded her, Shen Lingling refused to go.
Although he would send some things to Fang Siwen's parents, he would never go to the capital.
Now seeing Shen Lingling taking the initiative to say that she wanted to take Niuniu to the capital, the two of them thought that Shen Lingling had come to their senses. They wanted to send Shen Lingling off with drums and gongs, and they even took the initiative to pack a lot of things for Shen Lingling to take away.
Shen Lingling did not stop them, but went to Tian Lili's house first to boil chestnuts in sugar water. This job was officially handed over to Tian Lili, and the rented house, including all the things, were sold to Tian Lili.
After finishing all these things, Shen Lingling took the money she had saved over the years and took Niuniu to buy train tickets to the capital.
"Mom, will we come back then?" Niu Niu looked up at Shen Lingling.
Niu Niu is four years old now. Maybe because her parents have not been around since she was a child, Niu Niu is particularly sensible.
Shen Lingling felt a little sad when she saw Niuniu like this. She squatted down, hugged Niuniu and said, "We will be back, Niuniu. You can stay at your grandparents' house for a while. Dad will take care of you. Mom is going to do some things. When she is done, she will come back to find you!"
"Are we going to dad's place to sell chestnuts?" Niu Niu asked.
Ever since Niu Niu can remember, Shen Lingling has been selling chestnuts outside. When Niu Niu was little, she was very happy because Shen Lingling would buy her delicious food every time she came home. But now that she is older, Niu Niu is not so happy. The parents of other children in the team are all with them, except Niu Niu. Many children have never seen Niu Niu's father, and they also say that Niu Niu is a child without a father.
In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Shen also had to take care of their son, so they didn't pay much attention to Niu Niu, who was from the next generation. As a result, Niu Niu was bullied a lot outside and became introverted.
Later, Shen Lingling found out about this matter, and took Niuniu to find those friends who had talked about her, and told them about it in a serious manner.
After hearing this, the parents of their own child could not save face and beat their own child severely in public. Although they vented their anger, no child in the team was willing to play with Niu Niu anymore. Only Zhang Yan would take Niu Niu out to play when she had nothing to do.
