Just then, Fang Min came out of the bathroom. She had been washing up and hadn't rushed out when she heard Bai Qianzhou's voice.
"Hey, Comrade Bai, where did you get this hot water? Awan just said she wanted some hot water!"
Bai Qianzhou looked away and replied, "I got the water from the hot water room downstairs. You can soak your feet. Remember to lock the door."
After saying that, without waiting for Fu Wan and the others to reply, he slammed the door shut, giving the impression of fleeing in panic.
Fang Min was bewildered. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
How come Bai Qianzhou is running so fast?
Fu Wan shook her head, suppressing a laugh. "No, here, there's a basin here too, let's share the bubbles."
What do you mean by saying the wrong thing? Bai Qianzhou is clearly just embarrassed!
"Oh, I don't need it, Awan, you can make it yourself!"
"If you ask me, these leather shoes are not fit for human wear. Tomorrow I'm going back to wearing my old canvas shoes!"
Fang Min rarely complained, but the Liberation Shoes were indeed comfortable. However, Fu Wan had previously felt that they were not suitable for wearing to Hong Kong.
So before going to the port city, Fu Wan specially prepared a pair of small leather shoes for Fang Min to change into as well.
This made Fang Min, who was used to wearing straw sandals and liberation shoes, very uncomfortable. It was only during those few days in Hong Kong that they were either on the bus or on the boat, and the heels of the leather shoes were not very high. Otherwise, she would rather wear slippers than wear any leather shoes.
As they were talking, Fu Wan had already divided the water in two and then pulled Fang Min to soak her feet.
"Come on, come on, let's soak together, it'll make our train journey tomorrow more comfortable."
Fang Min hesitated for two seconds, and finally could only roll up her trouser legs and join in.
"Okay, let's take a bath then."
Soaking their feet made them feel much better. The two locked the door and went straight to sleep. When they woke up, it was already past eight o'clock.
The streets outside the hotel were already bustling with traffic. Fu Wan stretched and yawned. After being away for so many days, she could finally go home today!
It's a pity that this trip was by train, because there are no flights from Guangzhou to Longhai. Otherwise, she could have gotten home in two hours at most, without having to take an overnight train ride.
Yes, it was one night. Because so many people were traveling to and from Guangzhou, daytime train tickets were sold out, so Li Zhong had to ask around to get three sleeper tickets for the night.
Fu Wan didn't mind; it was evening anyway, she could just sleep it off and arrive.
By the time she gets home, she should still be able to have lunch with her family!
After lunch, Li Zhong took them to the station. When they parted, he even gave Fu Wan a large bag.
Fu Wan was puzzled. "Comrade Li, what is this?"
"Hehe, these are steamed buns and eggs that my wife prepared for you. Even though the tickets are for the night, the journey has been tough, so they're all homemade. Please don't mind the taste."
Fu Wan felt that it was still warm to the touch, and she could smell the aroma of the meat buns even through the brown paper.
"Comrade Li, you're being too polite. It makes me a little embarrassed!"
"Haha, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, Comrade Xiao Fu. To be honest, I made money and gained face by going to Hong Kong with you this time."
Boss He gave me a considerable bonus. Although Guangzhou is quite far from Longhai, I believe we will definitely meet again soon.
You also have my pager number. Let's keep in touch!
After spending a few days together, Li Zhong had already come to regard Fu Wan and the other two as friends.
Touched, Fu Wan smiled brightly at him while holding the package.
"Okay, thanks a lot. Let's keep in touch. Bring your wife and kids to Longhai City sometime, I'll cover all your food and lodging!"
Li Zhong nodded in agreement, and Bai Qianzhou patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you for taking care of me. Please take care of yourself. If you need anything in the future, please give me a call."
"Okay, okay, take care of yourselves too, hehe, it's best if you're alright."
Li Zhong understood Bai Qianzhou's meaning. He had also heard about how Bai Qianzhou had saved Old Master He using acupuncture. If Bai Qianzhou was looking for him, it must be because someone was unwell.
"Okay, take care!"
Under Li Zhong's watchful eye, the three of them carried their bags and packages into the waiting hall.
Although they bought quite a few clothes yesterday, Bai Qianzhou and Fang Min's packing skills were truly amazing; they managed to compress all the clothes into four solid squares.
Bai Qianzhou could carry two by herself, and Fang Min wouldn't have let her carry the other two if Fu Wan hadn't insisted.
As if she hadn't practiced with anyone, if Bai Qianzhou could get two, she definitely could too!
The three of them squeezed onto the train carrying their belongings. There were many others with similar large and small bags, and the hard sleeper carriage was also full. They were all people who had come from all over the country to buy goods.
If Fu Wan hadn't taken the lead and walked quickly, they wouldn't have had anywhere to put their luggage.
The train is quieter at night than during the day because there is no light, and everyone goes to their berths to rest early.
The next morning, Fu Wan was awakened by the light outside. She took out her watch and saw that it was exactly 6:30.
If their train is not delayed, it should arrive in Longhai City around 7 o'clock.
Fu Wan hurriedly got up and called out to Fang Min in the next bed. Bai Qianzhou also heard the noise and opened his eyes.
The three of them quickly got out of bed and packed their luggage. To prevent pickpockets on the train, they put their wallets and other valuables under their pillows.
Fortunately, there weren't any daring thieves on this train. When the train conductor announced that Longhai City had arrived, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Good heavens, they're finally back!
After finally squeezing off the train, Fu Wan had just stood still when she heard Fu Ming and Fu Liang's excited shouts.
"Awan! Awan! Over here!"
"Xiaobai, Fang Min!"
The two of them were talking back and forth, and their voices were quite loud, so everyone in the station subconsciously looked in their direction.
Fu Wan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and strode forward with a smile.
"Brother, Brother Liang, why are you all here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Hehe, no, no, we just arrived too."
Fu Ming was also very happy to see his younger sister, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
Without saying a word, Fu Liang reached out and took the package from Fu Wan's hands.
"Hey, why do you have so much luggage? What's all this stuff? It's so heavy!"
Fu Liang picked up the package and asked in confusion.
"Haha, it's all clothes! Clothes are so cheap in Guangzhou, I bought you all new clothes!"
"What? Clothes? I have those too?"
Fu Minggang had just given Bai Qianzhou an elbow strike from one of his brothers when he heard this, and immediately squeezed over.
"Yes, yes, you and your sister-in-law, Brother Liang and Sister-in-law Huiping, everyone gets one!"
"That's more like it. It's worth getting up at four to pick you up!"
Hearing this, Fu Wan raised an eyebrow and turned around, "Didn't you say you just arrived? Oh, you lied to me!"
"Haha, Ah Ming, you idiot, you can't even make up a coherent lie. Ah Wan, we were afraid of wasting time, so we set off at around four o'clock."
We arrived at the train station a little before six o'clock, but we didn't have to wait long at all; you were also on time.
Fu Liang was not good at lying, and Fu Wan noticed the dark circles under the eyes of the two older brothers, which touched her.
