Under the dim light, smoke swirled, filling the air with a mixture of sweat and cigarette smoke.
Meng Shuyun instructed, "Xiumei, Xiulan, keep a close eye on the children and never let them out of your sight."
After saying that, she went to the shops at the train station and bought bags and bags of snacks to satisfy everyone's cravings. She also bought a cup of instant noodles for each person.
In this day and age, being able to eat instant noodles is a rare treat. If you don't eat instant noodles when you take a train, you feel like something is missing.
When Xiaoli and Xiaojuan saw Meng Shuyun carrying so many delicious things back, their eyes lit up immediately: "Grandma, Grandma, you bought so many delicious things!"
Xiao Juan said excitedly, "Grandma, business trips are so much fun! I want to go on business trips every day from now on. Can you take me and my sister with you next time you go on a business trip?"
The two sisters carefully packed the snacks they received into their small bags, reluctant to eat them.
The family couldn't help but laugh at the two sisters' innocent and adorable words, and the originally heavy and oppressive atmosphere instantly eased a lot.

She said anxiously, "Nine train tickets for each of these places: Beiping, Guangzhou, Yuncheng, and Jiangshi."

At six o'clock sharp, the train arrived at the station on time, emitting a long and deep whistle.
The Meng family members, carrying large and small bags, boarded the train one by one.
At the same time, another group of people filed out of the car.
Leading the way was a woman wearing sunglasses and a long black dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps.
She carried a heavy handbag in one hand and covered her nose with the other, her face full of disgust.
She was flanked by six burly bodyguards, each with a cold and stern expression, like a silent iron tower.
"This train stinks! What are you all standing there for? Can't you see I'm about to faint from the stench? Get me a car right now and take me to the Meng family!"
