Of course, this is also because there was no high-speed rail in that era.
As for airplanes, in this day and age, ordinary people cannot afford to fly on them.
So nowadays, when people travel long distances, most of them choose to take the green-skinned train, which is slower.
Because Gu Jianing was pregnant, Sheng Zexi took better care of her this time than last time.
This time nothing happened.
Halfway through the journey, an elderly man suffered a heart attack.
The train staff urgently looked for a doctor. Gu Jianing, believing that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, saved the man with a silver needle.
Apart from that, there was nothing else.
30 hours later, the train finally arrived at Jingshi Station.
"Deputy Captain Sheng..." Sheng Zexi was still protecting Gu Jianing. As soon as he got off the train, Sheng Zexi heard someone calling him.
When I looked up, I found that it was the guard beside my grandfather.
Sheng Zexi escorted Gu Jianing over, and the guard saluted Sheng Zexi, "Deputy Captain Sheng, Elder Sang asked me to take you back."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Ningning, grandpa has sent someone to pick us up."
"Um."
The guard was driving a car, so the two got into the car as soon as they got off the train.
The car took them all the way to the compound.
The Sang family, because of Grandpa Sang's status, lived in a large compound, and the door was guarded by guards.
Most of the people living in this compound are researchers from the Weapons Research Institute and their families.
After checking and registering at the gate, the car drove in and stopped in front of a two-story villa.
Just as Gu Jianing was being helped out of the car by Sheng Zexi, she heard a slightly old but very gentle voice calling out.
"Ning girl..."
Gu Jianing looked up and saw Grandma Sang standing outside.
"Grandma~" Gu Jianing raised her hand and greeted with a smile.
This smile seemed to suddenly unlock Grandma Sang, and she trotted towards Gu Jianing.
"Grandma, slow down." Sheng Zexi was startled and shocked when he saw her jogging towards him.
You know, in Sheng Zexi's eyes, grandma has always been gentle, elegant, speaks softly, and behaves very elegantly at all times.
Not like now, so hurried.
In fact, Sheng Zexi also knew that she was very happy to see them come back.
But, grandma is an old lady, and he was afraid that she would fall if she ran too fast.
If Grandma Sang heard what her eldest grandson said, she would definitely complain in her heart: I even scolded your father a while ago, how can I be so elegant? Now I must look at my eldest grandson's wife.
Soon, Grandma Sang arrived in front of Gu Jianing, held her hands, and then looked her up and down with a tight gaze. Seeing that Gu Jianing had a rosy complexion and no sadness between her brows, she felt relieved. When she saw her big belly, her eyes became even gentler, "Ning girl, how are you doing recently? Can you eat? Are you sleeping well? Is the baby bothering you..."
"Grandma, you ask so many questions at once, how can Ningning answer them all?" Sheng Zexi joked with a smile.
Grandma Sang glared at him.
Gu Jianing smiled and said, "Grandma is concerned about me."
Then she held Grandma Sang's hand. At that moment, even without looking, she could feel the wrinkles on her hand, but it was very warm.
The first thing these hands did when she arrived was not to hold the hand of her grandson Sheng Zexi next to her, but to hold her hand.
The moment Gu Jianing's hands were held by these hands, she felt warm, and her heart was warm too.
She walked up to Grandma Sang and hugged her whole body, saying, "Grandma, I'm fine. Everything is fine."
Grandma Sang was stunned for a moment, then the smile on her face became even wider, "Okay, okay, as long as everything is fine."
After letting go, she turned her head silently and wiped the corners of her eyes so that Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi would not see her red eyes.
"Quick, quick, don't stand here, go into the house."
"Your grandpa was not supposed to go to work today. He was waiting for you at home with me, but because of an emergency, he was called away again. He probably won't be back until the afternoon."
Grandma Sang explained as she led them into the house.
"Come, this is the room we've prepared for you." As soon as they entered the house, Grandma Sang took them into the room and asked them to put down their luggage first.
"This room was previously occupied by Xiao Wan."
"Xiao Xi came back to live here before, but he lived on the second floor."
"I thought that since you are pregnant and have reached your advanced stage, it would be more appropriate for you to live on the first floor. On this floor, apart from the one we old couple live in, Ah Wan's room is the largest and best."
Looking at the furnishings in the room, there are actually not many changes since Ah Wan was here before.
Grandma Sang looked at the decoration, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
She thought that now that Xiaoxi and Ning Yatou could move in, if Xiaowan were here, she would probably agree and would be very pleased.
"Grandma, thank you for being so thoughtful." Gu Jianing's eyes were full of emotion.
She wouldn't object to it just because it was her mother-in-law's room when she was alive.
She knew that Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang showed their love for them by cleaning up this room for them to live in.
Moreover, even with just a quick glance at the room, Gu Jianing felt that it was very nice. It was indeed big, and the things inside were very complete and exquisite.
Sheng Zexi was also looking at the room in front of him.
He had come to see his mother's room before. When he came to live in the Sang family, his grandparents had also suggested whether he wanted to live there.
But Sheng Zexi refused.
He didn't want to destroy.
And now, Sheng Zexi feels that this arrangement made by his grandparents might be the best.
If you really miss someone, you don't have to rely solely on seeing things that remind you of that person.
Letting her things be inherited and passed on is also another kind of love.
He believed that if his mother knew about his grandmother's arrangement, she would agree and be happy.
So Sheng Zexi put down his luggage.
By the time the two men came out, Grandma Sang had already made two cups of malted milk and stuffed one into their hands each.
"Come, warm your body and your hands."
"Thank you, grandma."
Gu Jianing sat down on the sofa. She knew that malted milk was the best treat in this era.
I lowered my head and took a sip. The sweet malted milk entered my mouth. Not only did my body feel warm, but my heart also felt sweet.
As if she was afraid that she would feel unfamiliar and unable to let go, Grandma Sang sat next to her, holding her hand and talking to her in a very kind manner.
Seeing the tired look on Gu Jianing's face, he hurriedly said: "Look at me, you have been sitting on the train for so long, you must not have had enough rest, you should go to your room and rest quickly, especially Ningning, you are pregnant, it must be more tiring, you need to rest more."
"Okay." Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing did not refuse.
Taking a long-distance bus is indeed tiring.
