"I have a lot of stuff, do you want to take a look?"
When Huang Xiaofu saw Wu Laotai roll her eyes at him, he reluctantly stopped talking. He had just asked out of curiosity about why she had so many novelties in her small handbag.
Grandma Wu looked at the freshly made 'boy' in front of her and nodded in satisfaction. Actually, it was still a bit lacking. The clothes were too big, like a child wearing adult clothes.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you lie down in bed and the blanket covers you, only your chest and above should be visible from the outside.
These were cosmetics she found at a department store on clearance sale. They were new stock imported from Shanghai, and these local products were no longer in demand, so they were being sold off cheaply. She saw them and bought them all.
"Okay, let's eat."
Gu Qing smiled and pushed the food she had bought forward, saying, "Let's eat together."
Grandma Wu didn't refuse. She took out the leftover steamed buns and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from the morning, along with pickled eggs and scallion pancakes. "Let's eat together," she said.
Wow, so much delicious food! Huang Xiaofu smiled, realizing that following his mother was definitely the right decision.
Ever since he started starving and acting as Miao Fengying's lapdog, he has felt an inexplicable excitement when he sees food.
The surroundings gradually became noisy, and the aroma of food filled the air as the four of them finished their meal.
Grandma Wu and her two sons ate with great relish and appetite, and even Gu Qing ate a few extra bites.
As soon as he finished eating, Huang Xiaoqiang, ever observant, picked up the kettle on the table and got up to fetch water.
Huang Xiaofu was instructed by Old Lady Wu to clean up all the remaining trash before returning to his bunk to sleep.
The moment he lay down on the bed, he realized a truth: a happy life is about eating until you're stuffed and then having a good night's sleep.
Huang Xiaoqiang and Huang Xiaofu agreed that they would each take a day off. Today, Huang Xiaoqiang would sleep in a sleeper berth, so he would take every opportunity to get a good night's sleep.
The days on the train were alright; we ate well, slept well, and chatted after sleeping well. The only downside was that it was difficult to take out the food that Grandma Wu had bought in advance at the market.
These past few days, I've been eating and drinking with Gu Qing, and it feels a bit odd that she suddenly brings out some new food.
She had no intention of telling anyone about the mirror space in her lifetime.
The two girls who were looking for Gu Qing had circled around two or three times in the past two days, but they still couldn't find out Gu Qing's disguise. They were perfectly fooled by Grandma Wu and her two sons.
Early on the third day, Grandma Wu packed her things, and Huang Xiaofu came to find her with the things. "Mom, are we almost there? I told Lao Si that we'd meet up after we get off the train."
"OK."
Gu Qing put the clothes she had changed out of back into her wicker trunk. She wore them for two days and then thought she would wash them and return them to Old Lady Wu.
'Beep beep beep......'
"Alright, alright, we've arrived at the station. Wake up, everyone, don't miss your stop!"
When the train conductor reached the connecting area between the carriages, he found that Grandma Wu and the others were already standing there waiting for the doors to open. He nodded to himself, thinking that this was more like how one should travel by train. Every time, there were always people rushing to get off the train, dragging their luggage around.
As Gu Qing followed Wu Laotai off the platform, Huang Xiaofu, who was standing behind her, was suddenly bumped into before he could react.
Gu Qing's clothes suddenly tugged backward, almost causing her to fall into the gap between the platforms. Old Mrs. Wu reacted quickly and grabbed her arm to steady her.
Everything happened so fast that the train conductor's heart jumped into his throat. He pounded in his throat and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person fall backward and be caught and stood up.
He glared angrily at the person behind Gu Qing, "Comrade, you're in a hurry to get off the train, but you can't just pull people around like that! Do you know how dangerous it is to fall onto the train tracks!"
The person clinging tightly to Gu Qing seemed not to hear, and stomped off the train. A girl following behind scoffed, "So what if you fell in?"
The train attendant was so angry she nearly fell over. "So what if she fell in? Doesn't she know it could be life-threatening?"
She's dressed well, looks like she's educated, but why is her brain so dull?
Gu Qing shrank back, clutching Wu Laotai's clothes tightly and refusing to let go.
The newcomer looked arrogant, his chin pointing at Gu Qing, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Gu Qing, I was wondering why I couldn't find you. Turns out you know how to play mind games too."
Li Fang stared at Gu Qing's dark face, which resembled that of a country boy, sighed, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.
Old Mrs. Wu forcefully pulled away Li Fang's hand that was gripping Gu Qing's back. "Where did this dog come from? Xiao Qing, do you know it?"
Gu Qing was slightly taken aback. Seeing that Old Mrs. Wu was giving her a meaningful look, she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know her."
"Oh, you don't recognize him? Then this person deliberately pushed you onto the train tracks, trying to kill you. Train police! Where are the train police officers?"
"Report to the police immediately!"
Huang Xiaofu caught a glimpse of a uniformed officer inspecting the carriage out of the corner of his eye, and pulled him over. "Quick, comrade, someone is deliberately pushing people onto the train tracks."
What!
The train police officer who had just been checking the situation immediately frowned. This was outrageous in broad daylight!
"Let's go! Let's take a look!"
Li Fang had just retorted a few words when a dark figure blocked her way. "Police officer, it's her. She was holding on tightly to someone and wouldn't let go. If I hadn't reacted quickly, this girl would have fallen onto the train tracks."
"The train will only stop for four or five minutes. This girl is small and has short legs; she can't climb up. What will happen when the train starts moving...?"
Grandma Wu described it so vividly, as if the person had fallen into the tracks and been crushed to a bloody pulp.
After saying that, he asked Huang Xiaofu to carry the luggage, not wanting to bother others, and added, "Be careful when you get off the train."
The train police officer's stern and menacing demeanor startled Li Fang. She immediately pointed at Gu Qing and yelled, "It wasn't me! It was her! She was the one who dawdled and refused to get off the train. She was blocking other people's way; she deserved to be run over by the train!"
The train conductor, seeing that she had almost gotten someone into trouble and hadn't even apologized, but instead arrogantly pointed at and cursed at them, immediately became angry, "You girl... you have character issues!"
Because there were many people around and he was a public official, he couldn't say anything else, so he could only say this in a mild and inconsequential way.
Old Mrs. Wu smirked. This was no small matter. With the train conductor's testimony, the train police officer immediately took Li Fang into custody. "Comrade, please come with me."
"Why should I go! I'm an educated youth sent to the countryside to support the construction of our motherland."
The train police officer paused, and Grandma Wu quietly added, "This young girl is also supporting the construction of the motherland."
Li Fang shouted anxiously, "Support my ass! She's just trying to avoid trouble!"
"Alright, everyone come with me."
Just as Gu Qing started to get nervous, she felt Grandma Wu pat her hand.
Grandma Wu pointed to Huang Xiaoqiang, who was being pulled away by the crowd and trying to get over, and gestured for the two of them to reunite first.
After getting off the train, I was taken directly to the train police station.
