Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled and nodded: "That's true."
Without a work quota in hand, no matter how eloquently you speak, the relevant local departments will not process your return-to-city permit.
When Qin Boyan returned with the hot water, he saw Song Lan chatting amiably with the two elderly people sitting opposite them.
"Sister-in-law."
Qin Boyan called out to Song Lan and handed her a glass of water: "It's a little hot, drink it later."
With a smile in her eyes, Song Lan took the water glass and hummed in agreement. Then, she introduced the two elderly people to Qin Boyan.
Qin Boyan was quite talkative and quickly joined Song Lan and the two elderly people in their conversation.
Since they were both getting off at the final stop, Song Lan and Qin Boyan took good care of the two elderly people on the train.
The clanging sounds continued to echo in their ears. As time passed, Qin Boyan reminded Song Lan and the two elderly people that they were about to arrive at their stop.
The four of them tidied up briefly, put their luggage aside, and waited for the train to arrive so they could follow the flow of people off the train.
"It's too crowded, and accidents can easily happen. Let's go down later."
Although there are still nearly twenty days until the Spring Festival, the train station is already crowded.
This undoubtedly makes it easier for thieves to steal and for human traffickers to abduct people.
Considering that my elderly parents are old and frail, if they were accidentally pushed down, and a stampede ensued, that would be terrible.
In addition, considering that Song Lan and Qin Boyan, the uncle and sister-in-law, are good-looking and seem like innocent children, they are easily targeted by human traffickers.
Xu Fengqin, the old lady sitting opposite Song Lan, thought about it for a moment and became even more reluctant to join the crowd.
To prevent any accidents from happening to him, his wife, and Song Lan and her sister-in-law.
"That's what I think too."
Song Lan replied to Old Mrs. Xu.
“Xiao Song, after you get off the train, you and Xiao Qin can just follow us. My son has already arranged on the phone to pick us up at the station. His unit is stationed not far from Qiaoxingtun, so he can give you two a ride.”
During their casual conversation, Grandma Xu mentioned that her son's troops were stationed near Tiger Town. Out of politeness, Song Lan didn't hide anything anymore and revealed that her sister-in-law, Qin Yaqing, was working in Qiaoxing Village, which is located below Tiger Town.
In that instant, the two closed the distance between them and began to chat more enthusiastically.
Okay, to be more precise, it was Grandma Xu who felt she was having a particularly warm conversation with Song Lan. As for Song Lan, she's actually a bit slow to warm up to people.
She wasn't a very talkative person, but she never spoiled the fun. Whenever Grandma Xu spoke, she would cooperate perfectly.
"Waaah..."
The train whistle sounded, indicating that it was about to arrive at the station, and at the same time, the train noticeably slowed down.
A moment later, the train conductor's announcement rang out in the carriage.
Instantly, passengers who had stood up rushed into the aisle with their luggage, moving slowly with the flow of people.
Five or six minutes later, the number of passengers in the carriage had decreased significantly. Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng hadn't brought much luggage; they were there to pick up Qin Yaqing, not to deliver anything.
Therefore, the uncle and aunt got up and helped the elderly couple, Mrs. Xu and her husband, carry their bags and support them.
Mrs. Xu's husband, surnamed Liu and named Zhiyuan, was deeply moved.
He repeatedly thanked Song Lan and Qin Boyan.
"Dad! Mom!"
As soon as they got off the train, before Liu Zhiyuan and his wife, along with Song Lan and her brother-in-law, could even stand still, a deep, magnetic male voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, a tall and upright figure ran up to Lin Zhiyuan and his wife, his voice full of laughter: "Dad! Mom! You've worked so hard!"
Liu Feng stepped forward and gave each of his parents a hug.
His eyes reddened, and he couldn't hide his excitement. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Dad, Mom, your son misses you so much!"
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple, Liu Zhiyuan and his wife, felt extremely embarrassed, especially since two young people were standing next to them. Although they had met on the train, they were no longer strangers.
Is it really appropriate for such a grown son to be so sentimental in front of them?
The elderly couple silently complained to themselves, and for a moment they felt a little disgusted with their son, Liu Feng.
Grandma Xu said, "Alright, your father and I came to see you, so don't say things like that again."
That's so embarrassing!
Grandma Xu patted her son Liu Feng's arm lightly and introduced him to Song Lan and her sister-in-law.
Hello!
Liu Feng reached out towards Song Lan and Qin Bo.
"Hello."
Song Lan and the other person also reached out and shook hands lightly.
Liu Feng is now a deputy battalion-level officer. This time, when he came to pick up his parents, he borrowed the regimental commander's car and drove all the way to the train station.
"Come on, don't be shy, there's room in the car."
Upon learning that Song Lan and Qin Boyan were heading to Qiaoxingtun, Liu Feng invited them to ride together without even letting his elderly mother say anything.
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Song Lan could only swallow back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.
Moreover, with Old Mrs. Xu holding her hand tightly, she ultimately had no choice but to get into Liu Feng's jeep parked by the roadside with Qin Boyan.
"Thank you both for taking care of my parents on the train. Qiaoxingtun, where you're going, is less than ten miles from our military family compound..."
As soon as she boarded the train, Grandma Xu started praising Song Lan and Qin Boyan to her eldest son, Liu Feng, saying that the two were good people who kept her and her husband company on the train, and helped them get hot water and buy meals.
After hearing this, Liu Feng immediately thanked them and asked Song Lan and her sister-in-law for their opinion—to take his parents to the family compound of his military unit, and then he would drive them to Qiaoxingtun.
"Comrade Liu, there's no need for that trouble. My second brother and I can get off at Tiger Town."
Song Lan dislikes taking advantage of others, and even more so, she dislikes pushing her luck.
They were kind enough to give them a ride to Tiger Town, how could they be so ungrateful as to have the nerve to ask them to drive them all the way to Qiaoxing Village?!
