Wu Haotian looked at the old man and the child behind him and felt very worried. The girl was very capable, but with so many things and an old lady who could not walk, no matter how capable she was, she would be of no use!
Since there were outsiders present, Zhou Xiang would not force the old lady to sit on the cart. Besides, they were in a familiar city where many people knew her. If he provoked her strange temper, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.
An hour! Two miles, Old Lady Liu walked at a pace slower than a stroll.
Zhou Xiang quickly bought the ticket, Wu Haotian packed up his things and got on the bus, but Old Lady Liu insisted on getting on the bus by herself.
There were already three or four people queuing behind Zhou Xiang before Old Lady Liu climbed the two steps to the car door and sat down. Wu Haotian became even more doubtful whether the old man and the young girl could reach their destination.
"How about I buy you a ticket and take you there?"
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "No need. It's almost Chinese New Year and the trains will be even more crowded. You don't need to suffer this. I'll take you to the train here and someone will pick you up there."
No way, I didn't tell my aunt when she would arrive, and I didn't allow my mother to send a telegram.
Seeing that she refused, Wu Haotian stopped forcing her.
There was a pedal tricycle at the entrance of the city bus station. Zhou Xiang called one and asked Wu Haotian to put all the things into the tricycle.
"Grandma, please sit on it!"
Old Mrs. Liu might have felt a little dizzy from riding in a car, so she didn't refuse. However, she couldn't get in, her butt couldn't reach the top, and crawling was even more impossible.
Wu Haotian put his hands under her armpits and lifted her up to sit on the edge of the tricycle.
"Let's go!" Zhou wanted to climb into the tricycle. He had paid for it, so he might as well take a ride, even though it was only a little over a mile away.
When I entered the waiting room, the long back-to-back waiting chairs were full of people, and there were small areas on the floor where people were sitting on their packages.
After finally finding a place in the corner, Wu Haotian settled the old man and the child, and then squeezed out to buy some buns and tea eggs.
"Eat something! It's dinner."
Old Mrs. Liu ate a steamed bun and a tea egg, while Zhou Xiang only ate a steamed bun. He felt overwhelmed when he thought about the difficulty of getting on the bus later.
In my previous life, I climbed up through the window with my grandmother, and two young men helped me outside. Nowadays, getting on the train is impossible without strength and climbing skills.
But this time it's a sleeper, so it should be better. Although many passengers will get on the train through the sleeper door in order to squeeze on, the attendant will only open the sleeper door at the last minute after making sure that all the passengers in the sleeper have boarded.
"Wu Haotian, please hurry up and get on the train. Otherwise, at the last minute, the conductor will ask passengers who can't fit into the seats to get on through the sleeper door.
So, after squeezing through the ticket gate, I pulled the train while you held my grandma. We were in carriage 4, on the lower bunk of number 6.
Wu Haotian nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely get you to the sleeper safely."
When the time was almost up, Zhou Xiang dragged Old Lady Liu to the ticket gate to queue up. There were already four long queues.
The tickets were checked. Zhou Xiang held the ticket and pulled Old Lady Liu forward, while Wu Haotian watched from behind to make sure the old man and the child didn't get squeezed.
After passing the ticket gate, Wu Haotian quickly leveled the car and put his belongings away.
Zhou Xiang took over the car, and Wu Haotian picked up Old Lady Liu horizontally and rushed towards the front of the car.
Many passengers were stunned by this operation. Old Mrs. Liu did not resist at all and obeyed all instructions from the moment she got off the car.
Zhou Xiang also started running with the car. When he arrived at carriage 4, there were already many passengers queuing to get on the car, and there were also many passengers waiting on the side. These passengers knew that they could not squeeze in, so they could only wait in the sleeper berth.
Wu Haotian put Old Lady Liu down and let her line up by herself, then took over Zhou Xiang's role of pulling the cart.
Zhou Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he sat down on the bunk.
Wu Haotian stuffed all his things under the bunk.
"Stick it here, you can take it out."
"Okay, get off the bus quickly, or you won't be able to get off."
Wu Haotian got out of the car worriedly.
Zhou wanted to take out the green military water bottle and take off the bag on Old Lady Liu's back.
Old Lady Liu held on tightly, "Watch it for me, it must be fine."
Only after hearing this did she let go of his hand.
"Okay, lie down and take a rest!"
Zhou Xiang took off his coat, tied the bundle to the outside of his sweater, then turned it over so that the big package was in front. He then put on his clothes, and the knot on the back was also secure.
Holding a big bag can keep me warm and serve as a pillow. I miss air-conditioned cars.
At this time, the people on the middle and upper bunks also came, two men and two women.
A man in his thirties, with oiled and sleek hair, who looked like a cadre in the unit, was sleeping in the middle bunk of Zhou Xiang's room.
The other man was in his twenties, carrying a large cloth bag, which he stuffed on the luggage rack and slept on the upper bunk opposite Zhou Xiang.
A woman in her forties, who looked difficult to get along with, pursed her lips, and carried only a cloth bag, was sleeping in the middle bed opposite Zhou Xiang.
The other woman was in her twenties, dressed fashionably, with big wavy hair. She was carrying a large black travel bag and squatted down to stuff the bag under the bunk.
Zhou wanted to sit there and keep silent. From the look of her face, he knew he would get scolded if he spoke.
The woman looked around and saw that both were full. She got angry and said, "That poor bastard brought all this junk on the bus and stuffed it all under the bunk."
As he said this, he was about to pull some out so that he could stuff her thing down.
Zhou Xiang shouted, "Stop it! What are you doing? You're dressed up nicely, but you're actually stealing other people's things?"
The people nearby were all attracted by Zhou Xiang's voice.
The woman's face flushed red with anger.
"You poor bastard, I don't even want your junk even if you give it to me."
"No? Then why did you pull the thing out?"
"You've filled up the bunk so much that I need room for my bag."
"Look up, there's a luggage rack over there, do you recognize it?"
"Why don't you put your stuff on the luggage rack? Why are you taking up so much space?"
"Auntie, look at my height, and my grandmother who is over 60 years old, who can lift these things up and bring them down again?"
"Who are you calling auntie? Who is auntie?"
"I'm just being polite, understand? If someone in their twenties isn't an aunt, what is she? Is she a grandmother?"
"Puchi!" The young man couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You, you make me so mad." He raised his hand and was about to hit someone.
Instead, it was the woman who looked difficult to get along with who stopped her hand.
"Put your bag on the luggage rack." The cold tone made people feel even colder.
The young woman was frightened by the middle-aged woman's harsh and cold tone.
She obediently placed her bag on the luggage rack, pulled out the small stool by the window and sat down.
Zhou Xiang smiled sweetly at the middle-aged woman and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"
The middle-aged woman nodded lightly.
Zhou wanted to make some space, "Auntie, please sit here!"
