Chapter 2 Getting on the Train



Gu Ranran woke up with a start at the knock on the door. After opening the door, she saw that it should be Gu's mother. Then she realized that it was her mother. It was the first time she met her mother and she didn't know what to say.

"Ranran, go wash up quickly, then come over for breakfast. We'll be leaving after breakfast. Hurry up, or you'll miss the train."

After saying this, Mother Gu hurried into the kitchen, thinking that the food she made for Gu Ranran had not been packed yet.

After Gu Ranran finished washing up and came to the dining table, she mustered up the courage to call out.

"Dad, Mom."

Mother Gu looked at the reserved Gu Ranran and asked worriedly:

"Ran Ran, hurry up and sit down to have breakfast. We're running out of time. Why haven't you said anything today and are you so slow? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Ranran looked at her worried mother and quickly explained.

"Mom, I'm not feeling unwell. I'm just a little sad about leaving you guys. I can't cheer up."

Gu's father thought that Gu Ranran was too afraid of going to the countryside, so he hurried to comfort Gu Ranran.

"Ran Ran, don't worry about going to the countryside. The captain of the Songshan Brigade where you are going is an old acquaintance of Dad. We were comrades in the past and have always exchanged letters. We have always had a good relationship and are close friends who went to the battlefield together.

Dad has already written to him and told him that when you go to the countryside, you will be assigned to collect grass for pigs. Just collect two baskets a day. If you don't want to collect grass for pigs, you can give candy to the children and ask them to help you collect grass for pigs.

We send you 10 yuan every month, so don't worry about not having enough to eat. If you have any problems, go to the team leader and he will support you.

Mother Gu looked at Gu Ranran who was in a depressed mood and continued to give instructions with concern.

"Mom put some big door, brown sugar, White Rabbit milk candy, fruit candy, egg cake, canned food, and malted milk in your luggage.

When you arrive at the brigade you're assigned to, take two packs of Daqianmen, a pound of brown sugar, and a pound of egg cake to visit the brigade leader whenever you have time. The rest will be left for you. When you've finished, we'll send you more next month."

After Gu Zili finished his breakfast, he ran over and hugged Gu Ranran tightly.

"Sister, I really miss you. Please write to me more often and call me when you have the chance. I'll save all my pocket money and buy your favorite White Rabbit candy and send it to you."

Gu Ranran felt that her family was pretty good and they were all thinking about her. It was the first time she was cared for by her family, and she felt sad but also touched.

"Mom, Dad, and brother. I know everything. Please don't say it anymore. I feel like crying after hearing it. I can't bear to leave you."

It was the first time that Gu Ranran had felt such care from her parents and family, and her eyes welled up as she listened. She and her bestie had grown up together in an orphanage, and today, she finally felt the warmth of family. Thinking of all the hardships she had endured over the years, she felt like crying.

Mother Gu looked at her watch and thought it was almost time, so she quickly made arrangements.

"It's time for Zili to go to school. Don't hold your sister anymore. Go to school by yourself. Your father and I will take your sister to the train station. Ranran, your mother will ride the bicycle to take you, and your father will carry the luggage."

Mother Gu took the food she had prepared for Gu Ranran and took her to ride a bicycle. It was not far from the train station and they arrived there quickly by bicycle.

At the train station, Gu's father looked after the luggage while Gu's mother took Gu Ranran to check the list.

After checking the list, Mother Gu handed the food to Gu Ranran and began to give instructions.

"Ranran, eat more if you're hungry. Mom has prepared a lot, enough for you. I've put your money in different places. Be careful of thieves in the car and take care of yourself. Don't talk to strangers and be careful. When you get there, call or write to us when you have time to let us know you're safe."

Father Gu looked at the time and couldn't help but remind him.

"Ranran, you get on the train first, and Dad will hand the luggage in through the window. The train is about to leave, so hurry up and get on."

Gu Ranran hugged her mother and father, and ran to the train with red eyes.

After handing the luggage to Gu Ranran, Gu's father still gave some worried instructions.

"Ran Ran has arrived. Call or write back. Remember to let us know you're safe. We'll feel more at ease once we receive the news."

Gu Ranran looked at the worried father and quickly replied:

"I'll call back. The train is about to leave, so you should hurry back. Take good care of yourselves. I'll come back to see you when I have the chance."

After Gu Ranran put her luggage away, the train started to move. Gu Ranran sat by the window and looked out the window. She saw her father waving at her, and her mother hugged her father and cried.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ranran also shed tears. She hadn't seen her parents for 18 years, and finally saw them. But after meeting them, they had to separate again, and she didn't have time to spend time with her family.

My parents are really good to me, and my whole family dotes on me. But it's a pity that all these years of love have been occupied by a wisp of my soul, and I haven't had time to appreciate my family's love. Thinking of my family, Gu Ranran thought of her best friend and started calling the system.

"Tongzi, has Tiantian woken up? Have you contacted Tiantian?"

"Tiantian has woken up and has been contacted. She asked me to inform you. When you get off the train, she and the captain will come to pick you up. Don't worry about her. Just take care of yourself on the train."

Gu Ranran finally felt relieved when she knew she had contacted her bestie. Thinking about the past, she thought of the things she and her bestie had put in the space.

"Tongzi, is the thing that existed in the space between Tiantian and me still there?"

"Some are still there, some are gone. Everything that fits this era and can be used in this era is still there. For example, mobile phones and computers are gone."

Gu Ranran sighed when she thought about how she was now 70.

"It's okay. With the things in the space, Tiantian and I have some security and can rest assured. Just don't go hungry. I was hungry when I was a child, and I'm afraid of it."

"The plane trading system has been upgraded. The first plane has been opened, which is the plane of the end of the world. Then you and Tiantian will be able to trade with them."

Gu Ranran had read novels about the end of the world before and was quite curious.

"Tongzi, the apocalyptic plane? What can we trade in the apocalyptic plane? Tongzi, are there really superpowers in the apocalyptic plane? Are superpowers really that powerful?"

"Ran Ran, there are still many things in the Doomsday Plane. If you don't know what to trade, you can ask your friends in the Doomsday Plane what they can trade. Ran Ran, just choose the trade you like. There should be superpowers, it seems that crystal cores can stimulate superpowers. Superpowers are energies that normal people do not have, and they are extremely powerful."

Gu Ranran was very excited when she thought about the power of superpowers.

"I'm quite curious. When I have time, I'll try it with Tiantian. I think Tiantian will also like superpowers. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm too sleepy and need to take a nap. Tongzi, remember to help keep an eye on the luggage. It's a bit heavy."

"Ranran, just sleep peacefully. Tongzi will not only take good care of the luggage, but also Ranran and Tiantian. This is the system's job. Maintaining the balance of this space and time depends mainly on the performance of Tiantian and Ranran."

She got up too early in the morning and was in a bad mood after leaving home, so Gu Ranran leaned against the bed and fell asleep.
