Chapter 280 Mother and Son on the Bus

In Shen Jiale’s department, there is a local female student named Zhao Qin who has not attended classes for two days and has not asked for leave.

Her roommates also don’t know what happened to her.

The department head gave Shen Jiale Zhao Qin’s address and asked her to visit her home to see why she did not come to school.

The school is a bit far from Zhao Qin’s home and it takes 40 minutes to take the bus.

Lu Mingfeng has been busy with the cooperation with Sun’s recently, so Shen Jiale did not ask him to send her and took the bus by herself. After

buying a ticket on the bus, Shen Jiale was about to find a seat to sit down. Near the back door, there was a young woman holding a one-year-old bald boy.

The boy looked like a very naughty child. When Shen Jiale just got on the bus, he pulled Shen Jiale’s skirt.

The woman apologized to Shen Jiale and said that her son was too naughty.

Shen Jiale said it was okay and sat in the seat behind the mother and son.

The bus started, and the little boy couldn't sit still and always wanted to run around in the car.

The boy's mother held him and stopped him from running around, but the little boy yelled.

The passengers on the bus looked at the child's mother, and the child's mother apologized and said, "I'm so sorry, my son is too naughty and disturbed everyone."

If the parents don't care, everyone will have opinions, but when they see the child's mother apologize, they will understand.

Who doesn't have a naughty child in their family?

The bus drove for 20 minutes, and the child was hungry and asked for milk.

The child's mother said that he would drink it when he got home.

But the child just wouldn't let her.

The passenger next to him said, "The child can't be hungry, you should give him something to eat first."

The child's mother said, "I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring food."

Shen Jiale touched his pocket and found a small bag of biscuits that he hadn't finished eating. He handed it to the child's mother.

The child's mother took the biscuits with gratitude.

The child had something to eat and ate quietly for a while.

After eating, he asked for water.

However, the mother just said that she didn't bring any food.

In order to prevent the child from making a noise, Shen Jiale reached into his bag and was about to quietly take out water from the bag.

The child's mother took out a bottle from her pocket. The bottle contained water instead of milk.

The child was thirsty after eating the biscuits, so he held the bottle and drank it.

The passenger lady next to her asked, "You have a bottle, why don't you put milk in it?"

The child's mother said, "Milk will get cold if it's kept in the bottle for a long time."

"Then won't the water in your bottle get cold too?"

"It's hot, drink some boiled water, it's okay."

Seeing that the child's mother was very young, the passenger lady asked, "This is your first child, right? When you take the child out in the future, you must bring some food with you. With food and water, the child won't make trouble."

The child's mother nodded, "I usually bring it, but I forgot this time because I was in a hurry to go out."

The child finished a bottle of water, probably because he was full and sleepy, so he leaned on his mother's arms and fell asleep quickly.

Without the noise of the child, the bus suddenly became quiet.

Someone waved to stop the bus on the road, but the child didn't wake up.

The last person to get on the bus was an old lady. Due to her age and the fact that she was still using a cane, she moved very slowly.

The passengers who got on with her held the old lady's hand and walked slowly.

The cane in the old lady's hand slipped on the bus. The old lady staggered and almost fell down, and her hand suddenly pressed on the sleeping child.

Everyone thought that the child would wake up and cry after being pressed.

The old lady also hurriedly apologized to the child's mother.

The child's mother was not angry and asked the old lady to find a seat and sit down quickly.

Surprisingly, the child did not wake up and continued to sleep in his mother's arms.

...

The next stop is Zhao Qingqin's home.

Shen Jiale stood at the back door, waiting to get off the bus.

While waiting, Shen Jiale was bored and just looked at the sleeping child.

"Your son is so cute, what's his name?"

The child's mother looked outside and was suddenly asked by Shen Jiale, "He hasn't been named yet, we usually call him baby."

"I see he's already one year old, hasn't he been registered yet?"

"This... these things are all handled by his father."

The bus stopped and Shen Jiale was about to get off. He hesitated for a moment and walked to the driver's seat.

He told the driver an address and asked if this was the stop. The driver said it was the next stop.

Shen Jiale said, "I thought this was the stop, but it wasn't. It looks like I have to sit for another stop."

Then, Shen Jiale returned to his original seat and asked the conductor if he needed a ticket.

The conductor said that he had not exceeded the distance and did not need a ticket.

The bus continued to run, but soon everyone on the bus noticed that the route of the bus had changed.

"Driver, are you going the wrong way? I've taken this bus before, but it doesn't go this way."

"Yes, I'm going to get off at the next stop. Where are you going?"

The driver said, "There's a section of road ahead that's under construction. It's not easy to drive on. I'm taking a detour."

"No, that's not right. When I came here yesterday, the road wasn't under construction yet."

The driver explained, "We were just notified."

The conductor was also confused, but he still explained to everyone that taking a detour wouldn't delay the bus for too long, and asked everyone to be patient.

At this time, the child's mother said she wanted to get off the bus.

The conductor said, "Didn't you buy a ticket for the last stop? Why are you getting off now?"

The child's mother said, "I'm worried that the child will be hungry when he wakes up. I don't know how long it will take to take a detour. I happen to have a relative's house here, so I'll take the child there to get some milk first."

"You didn't bring any milk powder, do your relatives have children?"

"Yes." The

conductor told the driver to let the mother and child get off the bus, and was ready to return the extra ticket money to the child's mother.

The driver did not stop the bus: "It won't take too long to detour."

Seeing that the driver would not stop the bus, the older passenger said, you should let her get off, otherwise the child will wake up and make a fuss.

The child's mother also said that she didn't want the extra ticket money.

But the driver didn't stop.

Many passengers on the bus began to whisper to each other, saying that the bus driver was inflexible.

The bus did not detour as the driver said, but drove to the gate of the police station and stopped.
