When Huo Beixiao returned, Yang Qiaoqiao was already chatting enthusiastically with the old lady.
The old lady and her husband were both intellectuals. They were sent to the countryside to work in cowsheds during those years and suffered a lot, which left them with many chronic health problems.
As I've gotten older these past few years, my health has been declining day by day.
Their son was admitted to university after the resumption of the college entrance examination and stayed in Beicheng to work after graduation.
This time, their son asked them to go to a big city for a medical check-up. The elderly couple also missed their son and grandson, so they decided to go to the big city to visit them.
Yang Qiaoqiao chatted with the old lady for a while longer. When she saw that the old lady was getting sleepy, she said that she was also sleepy and told the old lady to go to sleep.
There were other people in the carriage, and Huo Beixiao wasn't shameless enough to squeeze into a bed with her.
"Qiaoqiao, I'll sleep on the lower bunk. Just call me if you need anything." Before going to sleep, Huo Beixiao leaned over her bedside, still a little worried, and gave her another word of advice.
Yang Qiaoqiao said helplessly, "I know, you've said that at least five times already. You should go to sleep now."
At this moment, Huo Beixiao turned his head and glanced at the old man and his wife, only to find that they were already asleep and no one was watching them.
He quickly planted a kiss on Yang Qiaoqiao's cheek, "Goodnight, my wife."
After saying that, he quickly shrank back and lay down on the lower bunk.
Yang Qiaoqiao subconsciously reached out and touched the spot where the man had just kissed her, feeling a warm and sweet sensation spreading through her.
She couldn't help but think of the happy expression on the old lady's face when she talked about her husband, children, and grandchildren today.
Her hand unconsciously covered her lower abdomen. When she and Huo Beixiao grew old, they should be able to enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by their children and grandchildren, just like the old couple!
She suddenly longed to have a baby with Huo Beixiao.
This was a thought she had never had in her previous life.
In her past life, although she also longed to have a child, she wanted a child of her own, not a child she shared with Qin Haiyang.
She thought she would definitely have insomnia at night after sleeping all day, but to her surprise, she fell asleep again very quickly, filled with anticipation.
In her dream, she saw what looked like little children running towards her quickly from afar.
Seeing the child's unsteady steps, she was afraid the child would fall, so she quickly called out "Be careful!" and reached out to catch him.
Just as the child rushed into her arms, and she was about to comfort him and see what he looked like, she suddenly heard the sound of a train whistle.
She woke up immediately.
When she woke up, she could still feel the warmth of holding the baby in her arms, and she could still smell the baby's milky fragrance under her nose.
The corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.
Just then, the train conductor came into the carriage. "Excuse me, are you Comrade Jiang Qiaoqiao? We found that Comrade Peng Cuiying's ticket in the hard seat carriage has already reached the destination. She said that you should buy her a ticket."
"Yes, I bought her the ticket."
She paid for Peng Cuiying's ticket.
When Jiang Qiaoqiao handed the money to the train conductor, the conductor said, "Comrade Jiang Qiaoqiao, you don't need to buy Comrade Peng Cuiying a ticket for such a long distance for now. She just said she had a lot of stomach pain, and our train doctor examined her and found nothing wrong."
Please go and check on her, and then we can discuss whether you should get off at the next stop and take her to the hospital for treatment.
A cold glint flashed in Yang Qiaoqiao's eyes.
Here we go again! It seems Peng Cuiying really doesn't learn her lesson.
She ignored her and said directly to the train conductor, "Comrade, I am not her relative. I only agreed to take her to the North City out of sympathy for her."
If she really has stomach pain, ask her if she wants to get off at the next stop to go to the hospital. If she does, let her get off and go to the hospital herself. If she doesn't, I can buy her a ticket to the north of the city.
After hearing this, the train conductor looked somewhat embarrassed. "But Comrade Peng Cuiying said you are her daughter..."
"I'm not!"
Yang Qiaoqiao didn't want to explain too much about her relationship with Peng Cuiying, so she said directly, "Please convey my message to Comrade Peng Cuiying."
The train conductor didn't say anything more and simply replied, "Okay."
Before long, the train conductor returned to Yang Qiaoqiao to buy a ticket.
Yang Qiaoqiao did not ask the train attendant Peng Cuiying about her condition. The train attendant, however, said somewhat apologetically, "Comrade, I'm so sorry. I was meddling in other people's business just now. As soon as I told Peng Cuiying what you said, her stomachache immediately stopped."
Even a fool could see that Peng Cuiying's stomachache was a staged act to gain Yang Qiaoqiao's sympathy.
Yang Qiaoqiao exchanged a few pleasantries with the train attendant.
Only then did he return to his bunk.
After returning to her bunk, she picked up a book to read.
Since she decided to open a garment factory, she has collected many books on clothing design and has been reading them. Huo Beixiao also brought her a few books on this trip.
As she looked at the paper, she found a pencil and started drawing in her notebook.
Before we knew it, it was already noon.
Huo Beixiao was about to go to the dining car to get food when Yang Qiaoqiao quickly stopped him. "Brother Xiao, didn't you bring us some pancakes and braised dishes made by Mom before we set off? Let's eat the pancakes and braised dishes first!"
"Okay, I'll go get some hot water to heat it up." Huo Beixiao said, and went out with the thermos.
In those days, there were no microwave ovens, and since we were on a train, the only way to heat up food was to put it in an aluminum lunchbox and soak it in hot water, just like Huo Beixiao did for her yesterday.
After Huo Beixiao left, the old lady in the same carriage asked Yang Qiaoqiao, "Hey, little girl, the person who gave you the ticket in the hard-seat carriage outside wasn't your mother, was it?"
Yang Qiaoqiao was momentarily at a loss for words when it came to answering the old lady's question.
The old lady realized her question was a bit abrupt, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and said, "Young lady, please don't be offended. It was just that this old woman was being nosy. I overheard the train conductor saying that yesterday and thought you and your mother had a fight..."
"But if a mother can get her daughter to treat her like this, then she must have first caused her daughter to suffer a tremendous injustice..."
When Yang Qiaoqiao heard the old lady mutter those words, a string in her heart involuntarily twitched.
The old woman didn't say that parents are always right, nor did she condemn her!
Yang Qiaoqiao asked the old lady with some surprise, "Mother-in-law, if she really is my mother, won't you think I'm unfilial?"
The old lady smiled and said, "What child is born unfilial? If a child is truly unfilial, then it is the parents' fault."
Children are the shadows of their parents.
If the original is correct, the shadow won't be too bad; but if the shadow is distorted, then the original itself definitely has a major problem.
