Chapter 270 Passerby A Who Died on the Battlefield During the War of Resistance Against Japan (Part 2)
Grandpa nodded in agreement. Jiang Yue was speechless. Hadn't she just gotten her parents into trouble? Jiang Yue hugged her grandma's arm and said, "Grandma, don't blame my dad. I missed you, so I ran back. Please don't blame him. Okay, I'll stop now. It's getting late, I have to go or I'll miss my train."
After saying goodbye to her grandparents, Jiang Yue boarded the train home. Jiang Yue herself and her family were not short of money, so she bought a sleeper berth. The sleeper berth on the train was not too small, only two or three square meters in size, with long sofas on both sides, enough for two people to lie down.
Jiang Yue put her suitcase under the table and then went to look in the corridor. The corridor was narrow, only wide enough for two people to squeeze through sideways. Even so, the corridor was still full of people, probably those who hadn't bought tickets. Jiang Yue glanced at them and then closed the door to the private room.
A private room is supposed to accommodate two people, and given the current situation, there will likely be more people coming up. Hopefully, it won't be someone who causes trouble. She just wants to arrive in Shanghai quietly and avoid any unexpected problems along the way.
Jiang Yue cracked open the train window and took out a book from her bag to read. After the train departed, no one came. Jiang Yue wondered if her compartment hadn't been sold or what.
Around noon, Jiang Yue got a little hungry. There was no one in the private room and no cameras. Jiang Yue took out a hot boxed lunch from her spatial storage and quickly ate it while the room was empty.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue checked the time and it was already past 1 p.m. She was planning to take a nap before arriving in Shanghai at 6 p.m. Unfortunately, the train suddenly stopped, and people outside were talking about it. At first, Jiang Yue thought the train had malfunctioned or that someone was checking it, but it turned out that it was making way for some important person.
Jiang Yue was feeling helpless. She had been hoping to get back to Shanghai as soon as possible to gather supplies, so she decided to read a book to pass the time. But after only a few glances, she heard a knock on the door: "Hello, we're also in this private room. Could you please open the door?"
Oh ho, it's another person coming over. Jiang Yue went over and opened the door for them. What came into view was a family of three who were quite good-looking. When they saw Jiang Yue open the door, the woman holding the child thanked Jiang Yue and came in to chat. Jiang Yue then learned about their situation.
The family was also going to Shanghai. When they bought the tickets, they could only get one sleeper ticket. Later, they bought two seat tickets. They originally planned to ask after the train departed if there were any sleeper tickets that could be refunded and then buy replacement tickets. However, there were no empty seats. The family did not want to be separated, so they stayed in the regular carriage.
The train had stopped, and it was unclear how long it would take. So the man brought his wife and children over, intending to let them rest. After chatting for a while, they discovered that they knew Jiang Yue's father. This made the atmosphere in the carriage much more harmonious.
In addition, their child was very sensible, quiet and well-behaved. He sat in his mother's lap and kept looking at Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue took out a few pieces of candy from her bag and gave them to him. He looked at his mother and only accepted them after she said it was okay for him to take them.
After accepting the candy, he thanked Jiang Yue, making Jiang Yue want to pinch his cheek. Fortunately, his parents were still nearby, so Jiang Yue didn't do it. Jiang Yue watched as he peeled a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. Soon his eyes were sparkling. "Delicious, isn't it!" Jiang Yue had studied this for several worlds and improved it countless times.
The little one is so well-behaved. The first thing he thinks of when he eats something delicious is to share it with his parents. He's so good that Jiang Yue wanted to sneak him home. Jiang Yue was so intimidated by Jiang Yue's intense gaze that he quickly shrank into his mother's arms. After a while, he could only steal a few glances at Jiang Yue.
"Xiao Zhi, do you want to come home with your sister? There's lots of delicious food at my house."
When Xiao Zhi heard Jiang Yue say that, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I want to stay with my mom and dad."
Hearing Xiao Zhi say that, Jiang Yue showed a regretful expression, then turned to Madam Zhao and said, "Sister Zhao, sell Xiao Zhi to me, I'll pay a high price."
Sister Zhao was also a mischievous person. She looked at Xiao Zhi and was about to hand him over to Jiang Yue, saying, "How much money can you give me?" The two unscrupulous adults frightened Xiao Zhi so much that he jumped off his mother and ran behind his father.
They played with the child for a while out of boredom, and only stopped when the child was about to get angry. To Jiang Yue's surprise, the train did not start moving again until dark. By then, Xiao Zhi had fallen asleep. Brother Zhao originally planned to return to the ordinary carriage, but Jiang Yue stopped him. She was not going to rest either. Brother Zhao took the child with him, while Jiang Yue and Sister Zhao went together.
When the train arrived at the station, the group came out together so they could look out for each other. They were checked for identification and had their personal information registered when they exited the station. The first car they encountered after leaving the station was Sister Zhao's car. They were originally planning to take Jiang Yue home, but before Sister Zhao could finish speaking, they heard someone next to them call out, "Miss?"
"Uncle Chen!"
"Miss, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
"Sister Zhao, someone from my family is here to pick me up, so we won't be traveling together today. I'll come visit you guys another time when I'm free."
"Is that right, Xiao Zhi?"
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, the child was so frightened that he hid behind his father's legs. Sister Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, then don't forget, if I can't wait for you to come, I'll come looking for you."
"No problem, don't worry."
After Sister Zhao left, Uncle Chen came over, picked up Jiang Yue's suitcase and said, "Miss, we should go home. Grandpa and Madam have been waiting for a long time. The food at home will probably have to be redone."
"Alright, Uncle Chen, let's head home."
Half an hour later, Jiang Yue arrived home. The security guard at the door saw that it was their car and opened the door before Uncle Chen could get out. When Jiang Yue's mother saw Uncle Chen return, she quickly got up and told the housekeeper to heat up the food. She was about to go out to greet Jiang Yue when Jiang's father sat on the sofa reading the newspaper without moving.
After taking a few steps, Jiang's mother saw that Jiang's father was still not moving: "What are you doing? Your daughter is back!"
“She’s back, so what? Do I, her father, have to go and greet her? Besides, this rebellious daughter just leaves whenever she wants. She only made two phone calls home during the whole holiday. Does she even care about her father?”
Jiang's mother rolled her eyes, wondering who he was putting on an act for, who had skipped work after learning her daughter was coming home today, and who had been nagging her every few days during the months her daughter had been away: "Oh, then you can just wait at home."
"snort!"
Jiang's mother ignored her and saw that the car had stopped, so she hurriedly walked out. Jiang's father turned his head and looked up, but in the end he didn't move. Jiang Yue got out of the car and saw Jiang's mother walking towards her. She originally wanted to get her luggage, so she also walked towards Jiang's mother. She turned around and told Uncle Chen, "Uncle Chen, please take my suitcase. There are gifts for everyone inside."
