Not long after the two families were ready, Dean Yuan sent his driver to bring them a few sleeper tickets and drove them all the way to the local train station. It was not the place Su He often went to, but the provincial capital in another direction.
When they arrived at the train station, it was almost time for ticket checking. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the three adults and three children had all boarded the train. It was so rushed, it really felt like a war!
There was nothing much going on on the train, but when they were about to arrive in Shanghai, Su He signaled to her mother-in-law that she needed to tell her eldest son in advance.
She explained to the two children, "Big Brother, Little Brother, and Little Treasure, when we get to Shanghai, we're going to stay at a guesthouse and rest for a day. Grandma Yuan is also going to pick up two children from our relatives' family. After we pick them up, we'll go back home together. Got it?"
When Daxiao heard that he would have two more playmates, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that it meant there would be more people to play with, so of course he was happy, so he nodded and said yes.
㟧䲻 was thinking a lot: "Grandma Yuan, do your relatives' children also want to go with us to my grandpa's house and go to the beach to pick clams?"
Mrs. Yuan nodded. "I heard from your mother that when you went back to your grandmother's last time, you picked up a lot of things on the beach. These two children have never seen them. What do you think? Would you like to lead the way?"
Daxiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Yuan, of course I'm willing. There's so much stuff to pick up on the beach, and it's not mine. Let us lead the way! We can pick up fish and crabs!"
Mrs. Yuan and Teacher Wu took the opportunity to praise them, praising them for being humble and not stingy.
When they arrived in Shanghai, they had finished their food long ago. The train was freezing cold, but they wore cotton shoes with sheepskin linings, so they didn't feel cold.
There were many people, so they went to the guesthouse and wanted to get two rooms. However, they were not comfortable staying separately. The guesthouse only had standard rooms with four beds, and they were charged by bed.
They booked a room.
Su He asked Mrs. Yuan where to pick up the person.
Mrs. Yuan waved her hand: "Don't worry, let's go eat first and pick them up in the evening. No matter what, we should be careful!"
After hearing what Mrs. Yuan said, Su He asked whether they wanted to eat everything out or buy food outside and eat in the guesthouse room?
Teacher Wu: "It's not convenient for three children to go out. You and Guifang can keep each other company. Go out together and buy some food and drinks."
Su He nodded, went to the guesthouse to ask for some hot water, took out the malted milk in the paper bag, and made two large bowls of it. Then she went out with Mrs. Yuan to buy some food.
There was a state-owned restaurant next to the Zhengtu Guesthouse. She took out her food coupons and money, ate there with Mrs. Yuan first, and then bought two servings of pan-fried buns, three servings of rice porridge, and one serving of meat and one serving of vegetables to take back.
Su He bought a lot and said that he was staying in the guesthouse next door. He paid a two-dollar deposit and took the food back in other people's rice bowls.
Finally, after serving the three children food and drink, I was very tired after sitting on the train for such a long time. The three children fell asleep early. Teacher Wu looked after the three children, and Su He accompanied Mrs. Yuan to pick up the two children.
When they arrived at the place, which was not far from the river, the damp and cold wind was blowing, and it was really cold. Su He couldn't help but be glad that she had the foresight to put on her cotton-padded jacket with a sheepskin lining, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.
Not long after, Su He saw a skinny woman in her thirties or forties with curly hair walking around the corner. Seeing Mrs. Yuan and Su He, she asked, "You two are here to pick us up, right? Oh, you're finally here! I'm freezing!"
Su He: "What about the two children?"
The woman turned and left again, and soon returned with two boys: "That's them! Take them away quickly! I'm freezing!"
Mrs. Yuan hurried forward to speak to the two children: "I'm Grandma Yuan. Someone asked me to come here to take care of you two. Have you heard?"
The two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had already moved to several places and had no idea that they were going to be transferred to another family. Seeing that Mrs. Yuan had a kind face, they nodded and said yes.
Seeing how thinly dressed the two children were, Sister Yuan walked over and took the brothers' hands, saying, "You're wearing too little! It's winter, and you don't even have a light jacket!"
Su He knew something was wrong when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped the woman: "Where are their luggage? They can't just stay at your house without even a change of clothes, right?"
