They had been eating dry rations for more than a day, and everyone wanted to eat something delicious and hot to help relieve their fatigue.
So, I'm willing in my heart.
After lunch, Zhang Qinghua went out, and Qian Liulin told them the address for picking up the tickets, which was near the train station.
Zhang Qingguo couldn't sit still, so he went out with Zhang Qinghua, saying that he wasn't tired yet and wanted to go for a walk.
Song Lili sighed, "There is still a difference between men and women; their energy levels are just different."
She was so tired she didn't want to move, but these two still had the energy to go out, which made it clear.
She and her two children were fast asleep in the room; she wasn't going to go out anyway.
In the evening, after a good rest, the group found a noodle shop, each ordered a bowl of hot noodles, and ate them comfortably.
After finishing her meal, Song Lili reclined contentedly in her chair, saying, "It feels so good. Eating proper food like this is much more comfortable."
The dry rations were enough to fill me up, but they were cold and hard, which was uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but miss the fast food of later generations, especially instant noodles, which were an essential item for traveling.
At the very least, it tastes better than dry rations.
The next day, they got up early, before dawn, to catch their train.
After finally getting into the car and putting her luggage away, Song Lili was covered in sweat.
"Now I can sit down and have a good rest. I won't be carrying so many bags around like this for the next few days."
"It will be fine once we reach the capital." At least then, someone will come to pick them up, and they won't have to go through all this trouble.
"Yes, the hardest time is over." Zhang Qinghua also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was my first time there, so I inevitably carried a lot of things, which made it quite difficult.
Zhang Qingguo wiped the sweat from his forehead. "My god, I didn't expect taking a car ride to be so tiring. Thinking about having to take cars again in the future makes me a little scared."
Suddenly, he felt a little afraid of taking the bus and of the crowded people.
Song Lili was amused by Zhang Qingguo's words, "It will get better gradually." Future trains certainly won't be like this.
Moreover, suitcases will also appear, which is much better than the current burdens.
"I hope so," Zhang Qingguo said, taking a breath as he sat down and looked out the window.
They bought hard-seat tickets, three for adults. Children don't need tickets to get on, but they won't have seats.
Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua each held one of the children and sat down to look outside.
"Sigh, there are still two or three days left, let's just tough it out." Traveling by car isn't exactly easy either.
The first day was a bit better, except that I sat for a long time and my body became a little stiff, but I felt better after walking around.
By the next day, both adults and children had developed problems.
The most obvious thing is that my legs are swollen. When I put my feet in my shoes, they feel tight and uncomfortable.
Moreover, after the initial novelty wore off, the two children were no longer willing to sit still. In addition, sitting for too long was uncomfortable, so they kept twisting their bodies, wanting to get down.
At this moment, Song Lili could only hold the younger one and keep walking around in the aisle to coax the little darling.
Although Xiao Chen didn't cry, she kept moving around and whimpering.
However, he was old enough that Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Qingguo could manage to appease him.
By the third day, it will definitely be impossible to coax them anymore.
On the third day, even the adults couldn't keep going, let alone the children.
So, the next night, Song Lili hardened her heart and didn't let the two children go to bed at their usual time, but instead made them stay up all night.
They'd be kept talking to, or their sleep wouldn't be allowed to settle down properly; they just couldn't get a good night's sleep.
Because of this, the two children had a fight and cried a lot.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Song Lili stopped moving and let them sleep soundly.
So, they were quiet in the mornings, and if they just held on a little longer in the afternoon, they would arrive.
Sure enough, the next morning, neither of the two children woke up; they were both fast asleep and, being asleep, ignored their discomfort.
Song Lili, holding the little Hui, whispered to Zhang Qinghua and the other, "Put Xiao Chen on the seat, and you two get up and move around a bit."
Sitting for long periods of time restricts blood circulation, causing legs to swell up like carrots, and shoes become unwearable. Many people wear shoes that resemble slippers.
Therefore, the air quality in the carriage was not very good; the smell of athlete's foot and foot odor could make people faint.
But I still have to endure it.
Zhang Qinghua and his companion couldn't sit still any longer. They placed Xiao Chen in the two empty seats, stood up, stretched their arms and legs, and walked around a bit. At least their legs weren't so stiff anymore.
Zhang Qinghua returned only after he felt the tightness in his legs subside. He then took the child from Song Lili's arms.
"Why don't you stand up and move around a bit?" She must be feeling unwell too.
He, a grown man, couldn't stand it, let alone Lili, who is a woman.
But she never said anything like that she couldn't hold on any longer or that she couldn't take it anymore.
That's why Zhang Qinghua felt even more sorry for her, because following him had made her suffer.
Song Lili was indeed in great pain, so she quickly stood up and moved her legs to regain feeling and ease the tightness and stiffness.
Once I felt my senses return, I went outside, walked around in the corridor, went to the restroom, washed my face, and tried to make my body more flexible.
Find a well-ventilated place with few people, breathe in some fresh air, and clear your mind.
Half an hour later, Song Lili finally went back.
"Eat something, hang in there, you'll feel better by evening." In the evening, they will arrive in the capital, and then they will be able to eat a hot meal.
Eating dry rations for three days was incredibly uncomfortable.
When it was time to eat, both children threw tantrums and refused to eat, preferring to go hungry rather than eat.
Let alone the children, even she, an adult, is about to reach her limit.
Zhang Qinghua calmly accepted it, while Zhang Qingguo couldn't help but sigh, but still accepted it.
"Thank goodness we arrived today. If it had taken any longer, I would have cried."
This is the first time I've realized that traveling by car can be so uncomfortable.
He used to be so envious when he heard those educated youth talking about taking the train. He thought how wonderful and happy it would be if he could take a train someday.
But now that he's on the seat, he understands the bitterness involved and realizes that everything was just his imagination.
Taking the train is even more uncomfortable than getting out of bed.
Working in the fields is tiring, but it's only physically tiring. I don't feel uncomfortable all over, but I always feel mentally distressed.
I didn't have that feeling of being annoyed or stifled, like I was always feeling uncomfortable or resentful.
Only now do I realize that some things can't be understood without experiencing them firsthand.
