"They have some business to attend to and won't be back until tomorrow." Mei's father wanted to tell the truth, but when he saw Mei's grandmother following him out, he quickly swallowed the truth back.
"Why are you coming back tomorrow again?" Grandma Mei asked anxiously.
"Mom, don't worry, it's just that the train has a minor malfunction and they're fixing it!" Dad Mei propped up the bicycle and helped Grandma Mei into the house.
"This train breaking down at such an inopportune time, it's kept me from seeing my granddaughter," Grandma Mei muttered, pursing her lips.
“That’s right, this train really doesn’t give my mom any face. Why did it have to break down at this time?” Mei’s father nodded in agreement.

"Get lost! Are you even my real father? You don't care about your own daughter, but you're concerned about that kidnapper!" Mei's mother pinched Mei's father and said.
Reminded by Mei's father, Mei's mother also thought of her daughter Dali, and her heart, which had been in turmoil, slowly calmed down.
The two returned to their house as if nothing had happened, as if their daughter had simply been unlucky enough to encounter a train malfunction. Even Mei Liang believed that the train malfunction was real.
