Chapter 94: Traveling in Winter
Seeing Su He's naive look, Mrs. Yuan also sighed.
She hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Forget it, then I'll tell you. Someone wants to ask our two families to go out and pick up two children.
"As for these two children, one is one year older than Damao, and the other is one year younger. They are now without a father or a mother, and their grandfather is also suffering.
"Someone brought this up with Old Yuan, asking him to help find a solution. After all, the two children's grandfather and we are not on the same page at all. No one would have thought that these two children would pass through our hands!"
Su He thought, so he wanted to save people, why didn't he say so earlier.
She nodded. "Master's wife, are you afraid I won't agree? This is a good thing to save people, and I'm willing to help. Do you think so little of me?"
Mrs. Yuan: "This is a huge matter, most people wouldn't want to get involved! As for me, I can't bear to see my child suffer! He's an orphan with no family around him, it's really...Okay, we'll talk about it later. Hurry home and pack your things, and we'll go out together."
Su He: "Master's wife, you should come to our house and have something to eat first. There's still half a pot of mutton soup. Let's drink as much as we can. I fried some dumplings to take with us on the way. It's a good idea for you to have a nice lunch. Even if we need to go out, we can't leave right away. The train won't be until tonight, right?"
Mrs. Yuan nodded and followed Su He to the Jin family. The three children shouted "Hello, Grandma Yuan!" and then went back to playing.
Su He briefly explained the situation to her mother-in-law, and Teacher Wu nodded. "Then we need to help these two children. How can we help them?"
Mrs. Yuan said, "Teacher Wu and the children must also go with us. We're going to Shanghai, which is close to your hometown and mine. We can just tell everyone that Xiao Su is in Shanghai for a checkup and I'm back home. It's a good opportunity for our two families to go out together and look after each other."
Su He was very quick and skillful. She first cooked a bowl of dumplings for Mrs. Yuan and fried all the raw dumplings that were originally saved for dinner. The fried dumplings were convenient to eat on the way.
Teacher Wu asked carefully, "So, these two children, are you going to come back to live with us at the base?"
Mrs. Yuan quickly waved her hands, "That's fine. If there's even a mosquito here, we have to report it! If there are two more children, wouldn't that be almost as big as being in the newspaper? Anyway, we're just here to help! If you ask again, I don't know what the arrangements are going to be!"
Teacher Wu nodded. "That's right! You're afraid of getting the word out! Okay, I won't ask any more questions! If you can help, please do so. We can all have peace of mind!"
Mrs. Yuan said, "Teacher Wu is a wise man! There's a passing train to Shanghai at night. Let's buy standing tickets first and then find a sleeper ticket. There's always a way."
When Su He heard they were taking a passing train that night, she turned around and went out to tell Da Mao and Er Mao, "Da Mao, we're going back to our hometown before the New Year and then to Shanghai. Hurry up and take out all your thick clothes and pack them in your bags."
Damao: "Ah, can we still go to the sea to catch seafood in winter? I want to pick up things on the beach!"
Ermao: "Mom, I want to pick up things at the beach too!"
Su He: "Okay, you can all pick it up, but hurry up, if you're slow, just let him look after the house by himself!"
Damao: "Mom, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore! You're lying again!"
Ermao: "Mom, you're lying!"
Su He was anxious. The two children thought they were going out for a trip. Teacher Wu also came to help pack. They would be away for a few days and would not stay outside for long. They put on their thick cotton jackets and put their underwear and spare coats into their luggage bags.
The family packed two bags, one of clothes and the other of food.
Sister Yuan also came over from home carrying a luggage bag.
Clothes aren't heavy, they just take up space.
But the food was quite heavy. In order to cheat in the system warehouse, Su He asked her mother-in-law to carry the clothes while she carried the bag of food. In fact, most of the things in the bag had already been put into the system warehouse by her.
