Gu Tingzhou was holding Erbao in his arms and carrying the luggage, while Li Qingyun was holding Dabao tightly.
The family squeezed onto the train with difficulty.
Finally I breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, when Gu Tingzhou took the bus by himself, he always bought a seat ticket, or even a ticket without a seat, so he could do anything by himself.
But this time, considering his wife and two children, he specially used his military status to buy two berths.
When the conductor knew they were traveling with two children, he gave him two sleeper berth tickets.
So now they sat opposite each other and could finally take a break.
They would spend the next day and a half on the train.
On the beds on either side were a middle-aged man and a woman who was also carrying a baby.
The woman was on Li Qingyun's bed. When she came in, she seemed to want to say something but hesitated. When she saw that they also brought two children with them, she stopped talking.
I guess he wants to change the position of the bed.
Li Qingyun naturally wanted to get out of bed as well, but she pretended not to know and put her things on the bed.
The train started to move with a whirr. Dabao looked outside through the glass window and found everything very new and interesting.
Gu Tingzhou handed the child to Li Qingyun, took an empty lunch box and went to the dining compartment in front to get some hot soup and eat it.
The three of them ate some of the bean curd dumplings they brought from home and the eggs given by Gu's mother with the hot soup.
The woman on the bed also took out the cake she brought and ate it slowly, occasionally looking at the family on the bed below with some envy.
The middle-aged man opposite lay down and fell asleep as soon as he got on the bus.
Li Qingyun didn't have much appetite, so she ate a little and then took her second baby to take a nap.
Dabao looked at it with interest for a while, but then lost interest and fell asleep soon. Gu Tingzhou sat aside and dozed off, watching over his wife and children.
When Li Qingyun woke up, it was already getting dark.
Gu Tingzhou had already fed the second baby porridge and milk, and the eldest baby had woken up long ago and was playing with his younger brother on the other bed.
Seeing her wake up, Gu Tingzhou hurriedly asked her if she wanted some water and handed her the kettle.
Although I was on the train, I slept very comfortably and felt much more refreshed.
Maybe it's because I'm really too tired.
She drank two sips of water from Gu Tingzhou's hand.
"You look after the two kids. I'll go buy some food up front and come back."
Gu Tingzhou took out two lunch boxes and held them in his hands.
"Go quickly." Li Qingyun agreed while tidying up her messy hair.
Just after Gu Tingzhou left, the child in the woman's arms on the bed started crying.
It was just a quiet cry at first, but the woman seemed unable to comfort him and she started crying louder and louder.
Dabao asked curiously, "Mom, is he hungry?" He remembered that when his younger brother was little, he would cry like this when he was hungry, deafeningly and could not stop.
After hearing what Dabao said, the woman continued to coax the child with some embarrassment.
"Don't cry, Dongdong."
She hadn't eaten or drunk well all day, and at noon she only ate a dry biscuit. She didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, so she had no milk to feed the child, and he cried with hunger.
At this time, the child's crying woke up the middle-aged man sleeping opposite.
"Shut him up now, he's making so much noise. If he doesn't shut up, I'll ask the conductor to deal with it." The man shouted impatiently.
The woman stood there in embarrassment, and could only try to breastfeed the child again and again, but the child continued to cry when he couldn't get any milk.
It was also her first time to travel far away. It was not easy for her to take such a young child with her. She had to look after the luggage, protect the child, and even provide him with food, water, and toilet.
Seeing the woman getting out of bed, being able to sleep as she pleased, with a man looking after the children, a man fetching meals for her, and even having someone hand her water when she woke up, she felt very sad.
Facing the middle-aged man with a cold brow, she was speechless. After all, what he said was the truth. The child cried too loudly and did disturb others.
Thinking about the long night with her child crying and not knowing how to get through it, she felt a strong sense of helplessness.
"Brother, I'm really sorry. I'll comfort him right away."
"What's the use of saying sorry..." the man wanted to say something else.
Li Qingyun couldn't bear to watch it anymore, they were all people with children.
"If you can't hear it, don't take the train. If you can, book a carriage and I guarantee no one will make noise.
You are such a grown-up, and you are still arguing with a baby. Don’t you have any children? "
The woman who went to bed probably didn't expect Li Qingyun to speak up for her. She kept saying, "Thank you, thank you. I really didn't mean it. The child was hungry and I had no milk to feed him, so he kept crying."
The middle-aged man on the bed opposite was immediately intimidated by Li Qingyun's words and turned his back without saying a word.
Because at this time Gu Tingzhou came in.
People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Seeing that the woman in the bed opposite him was taking care of her child alone and was easy to bully, he naturally dared to speak harshly to her.
When it comes to Li Qingyun, the situation is different.
It was obvious that this family was not someone to be trifled with. The women were sharp-tongued, and the big man exuded a strong sense of oppression.
He didn't dare to provoke him.
The child went to bed and continued crying.
Li Qingyun couldn't stand it any longer. It wasn't because she disliked the noise, but because she felt sorry for the hungry child.
"Did you bring your lunch box? I have some milk powder here. Make some for the baby first."
The woman obviously knew what milk powder was. She saw the child drinking it after getting out of bed in the afternoon. It was in a small bottle, milky white and smelled very fragrant.
"How can this be..."
"There's not much left from this meal, and it's not enough for my son to eat." Li Qingyun interrupted her directly. She didn't want to support her all the time. It was okay to help her with one meal, but she shouldn't let her rely on her.
Gu Tingzhou took the woman's lunch box to get some warm water and helped her make some milk powder.
The woman fed the child mouthful by mouthful with a spoon. The carriage suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the child swallowing.
Li Qingyun's family just started to eat dinner.
Today's dinner consisted of a few eggs and dumplings left over from lunch, and two boxes of shredded pork noodles that Gu Tingzhou brought, which the family shared.
Li Qingyun put the cold dumplings and eggs into the noodles to warm them up, and the family ate up two full lunch boxes of noodles.
She didn't eat much at noon, but now she has a good appetite and eats a lot of noodles.
The woman on the bed fed the child and the child fell asleep.
She carried him on her back and got out of bed: "Comrade, could you please take a look at my luggage while I go buy something to eat."
The woman knew that the family was either rich or noble and would not look down on her things since they were willing to share such precious milk powder with her children.
She was indeed very hungry. If she didn't eat or drink water, she was afraid that she would have no milk to feed the baby in the middle of the night, and the baby would make a fuss again. Then she would be too embarrassed.
"Okay, go ahead." Li Qingyun said lightly.
Seeing that she agreed to help, the woman quickly took the child to the front carriage.
