Chapter 980: Arrival in Beidu (2)
She seemed to be infected by the excitement and couldn't help but smile.
However, as she smiled...
the curve of her mouth froze.
She originally thought that those people holding up signs and waving their hands to greet each other was already a grand scene, but she didn't know that there would be a scene even more exaggerated than this.
Not far away... two people were holding up a long banner with a few large characters written on it. Those characters were so golden that they almost blinded her eyes.
Ruan Jie was still reading, "Welcome our precious grandson, Ruan Jiaojiao, home!" After he finished, he smiled at Ruan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, grandpa is so warm-hearted."
Ruan Jiaojiao's little face, covered by white plush gloves, was red and puffy. She was especially aware of the gazes from people around her because of Ruan Jie's words. Although there was no ill intention, she was still embarrassed.
Shu Jie was angry and amused, "Dad is really nonsense." He has been low-key all his life, but he has become high-profile when he is old. I don't know what he is thinking.
Ruan Jianguo also laughed, but he stopped laughing halfway. I don't know what he was thinking about, and his expression became a little tangled.
When the train stopped and the door opened, the remaining ten or so people in the carriage walked out. Ruan Jiaojiao saw Xu Miao and her mother again. The two of them had nothing in their hands, and her mother was thanking a man walking in front of them. The man helped them carry their luggage, and the man was not the one who bought them the meal. The man who bought the meal should have gotten off halfway.
Xu Miao was also looking at them, but she was probably looking at Ruan Jie. She saw Ruan Jiaojiao from behind. Seeing her expensive clothes, her pupils shrank, and she retracted her gaze after a few seconds as if nothing had happened.
After Ruan Jie's angry rebuke yesterday, she might still feel a little ashamed and did not approach them again.
Xu Miao and her mother got off the bus first, with two people between them. Then it was Ruan Jiaojiao's turn. As soon as she got out of the bus, she really felt the temperature difference.
Especially the ventilated platform, which was ventilated on three sides, was freezing cold. Even with a hat, a scarf, and furry gloves on her face, Ruan Jiaojiao still felt the cold wind piercing her face.
"Miss." The two men holding banners came forward immediately. Behind them were four or five other men in uniform, all of whom respectfully called Shu Jie "Miss." One of them, who looked somewhat familiar, came forward and said to Shu Jie, "Miss, the master is waiting outside."
"Uncle Liang." Shu Jie was surprised: "Dad is here too?"
Uncle Liang was a very serious man and seldom smiled, but he was still somewhat gentle towards Shu Jie. He first nodded at Shu Jie, then his eyes fell on Ruan Jiaojiao who was leaning against her side, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this the young lady?"
There was a reason why Uncle Liang knew Ruan Jiaojiao. After all, he was also involved in helping to steal the photos.
In recent years, in order to relieve Grandpa Shu's pain of missing him, the Ruan family would send photos to him every six months. The last time Grandpa Shu received a photo was on Ruan Jiaojiao's birthday.
Children don't change much in a month or two, so Uncle Liang could recognize them at a glance.
"Jiaojiao, call me Grandpa Liang." Shu Jie gently shook the little hand that was holding Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately raised her head and called sweetly, "Grandpa Liang."
