She took out an envelope from her small bag, which contained a sum of money and some receipts that she had prepared beforehand, more than what her uncle had given her.
"This is a gift from me to my maternal grandmother, uncle, and aunt; you must accept it."
Lin Wenbo was about to refuse when his grandmother glared at him and said, "Tangtang gave it to you, so just take it! This child is so thoughtful!"
After breakfast, Lin Wenbo borrowed a bicycle from his workplace and carried most of Su Tang's luggage. Su Tang carried a small bag on her own and walked towards the train station with her grandmother and aunt.
The mornings in Shanghai are characterized by their unique dampness and bustle.
When we arrived at the train station, the platform was already packed with people.
Travelers from the north and south, farmers carrying loads on shoulder poles, workers in uniforms, and patrol officers wearing red armbands.
The air was filled with the mixed smells of coal smoke, sweat, and various foods.
"Waaah—"
With a long whistle, a green train, panting heavily, slowly pulled into the platform.
The locomotive is marked with large white characters that read "Shanghai Railway Bureau, Shanghai Section," and its model appears to be an old-style Jiefang steam locomotive.
"Tangtang, it's this train! It's heading towards Rongcheng!" Lin Wenbo pointed to one of the carriages.
The train carriage doors were packed with people, all struggling to squeeze on.
"Uncle, let me help!" Su Tang said, and with her agility and Lin Wenbo's help, she quickly squeezed onto the train.
I found my berth, a lower berth, which was pretty good.
She put down her small bag and quickly leaned out of the car window.
Grandma and Aunt stood on the platform, gazing at her expectantly.
Grandma's tears fell again: "Tangtang, when you get there, remember to write back and let us know you're safe!"
"I know, Grandma!" Su Tang replied loudly, waving her hand.
"Take good care of yourself! Don't skimp on food and clothing!" Auntie shouted.
Lin Wenbo stood behind them, silently watching Su Tang, his eyes filled with worry and reluctance.
"The train is departing! The train is departing! Those who haven't boarded yet, hurry up and get on! Those on the platform, please step back!" The train conductor waved a small red flag and shouted loudly.
With a loud bang, the train jolted violently before slowly beginning to move forward.
"Grandma! Uncle! Aunt! I'm leaving! You can go back now!" Su Tang waved vigorously.
Grandma and the others ran a few steps with the train until it accelerated and stopped, turning into three smaller and smaller black dots.
Su Tang looked away, gazing at the platform and familiar cityscape rushing past the window, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She took a small piece of chocolate out of her bag, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.
Yes, it's the same familiar taste, it gives me strength.
The turmoil in the Shanghai stock market has finally come to a complete end.
Jiang Sushuang and Su Dongcheng received their just deserts, and Jiang Xinyue also reaped the consequences of her own actions.
She not only saved herself, but also recovered most of the Su family's assets, and even unexpectedly made a great contribution.
She gently stroked the nano ring on her right index finger, feeling the abundance of supplies in the space, the mountain of gold and silver jewelry, and the sense of security brought by the unlocked armory.
Tibetan areas, Qinye...
What kind of person was that man who only existed in fragments of memory and his father's letters?
Where is the real treasure of the Su family in Tibet hidden?
Will she be able to find it?
Can she go back to the 22nd century?
The train clattered along, carrying her thoughts.
Heading west... with her, we embarked on a new journey.
