The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment and sat down. Zhou wanted to stop talking to her. After all, they were not familiar with each other and she was so cold.
Old Mrs. Liu had been told by her little granddaughter a long time ago that no matter what happened on the road, she was not allowed to interfere, but to be obedient and stay still.
Moreover, her fighting ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Just her mouth can make the dead angry again.
My little granddaughter brought me here to celebrate the New Year in the middle of winter to prevent some major event from happening in my little girl's family, which should be a major event that is difficult for people to accept.
This crowded car experience also made Old Lady Liu understand how hard it was for her little girl to go home every time.
From now on, I'd better not let my little girl go home for the New Year! It's too tiring.
As the train started, Zhou Xiang asked Old Lady Liu, "Grandma, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Old Lady Liu nodded and said, "Go for a while, and go to sleep when you come back."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang stood up and helped Old Lady Liu down from the bunk. Everyone on the bunk and below laughed when they saw Zhou Xiang's posture.
"Girl, is there any reason for your look?" asked the young man on the upper bunk.
“Safe and reliable!”
The young man pondered what Zhou Xiang meant. He understood safety, but what did reliability mean?
It was not until Zhou Xiang helped Old Lady Liu back, took care of her, sat down himself, and lay on the bag with his arms around his chest that he understood the meaning of reliability.
This little girl speaks in such an interesting way.
Gradually, people returned to their bunks to sleep, and the passengers with standing tickets were driven to the seat compartments by the conductors, and the carriage began to quiet down.
Zhou Xiang didn't dare to sleep soundly, as there were a lot of petty thefts on trains these days.
In a daze, I saw a figure standing in front of me, rummaging through the handbag of the man in the middle bunk.
Zhou Xiang turned over and pretended to accidentally kick his leg out, kicking the thief in the knee.
The thief was startled and left quickly. Before leaving, he looked at Zhou Xiang's lower bunk and saw that she was still snoring. He felt relieved. He was so unlucky that he was kicked just after he opened the zipper of his handbag.
As the sky got light, people started moving around in the carriage. Zhou Xiang also got up. He felt that sleeping was too uncomfortable because the berth was too narrow and he didn't dare to sleep soundly.
The man in the middle bunk muttered, "Why did you forget to zip up?"
Zhou Xiang took Old Lady Liu to wash up, then came back and took out the lunch box to buy food from the dining car.
The dining car was in carriage No. 9. Zhou Xiang took off the bag and handed it to Old Lady Liu.
Old Lady Liu tied the package behind her again.
When Zhou Xiang called back for breakfast, Old Lady Liu had already started chatting with the cadre-like man.
She also asked the man if he wanted to eat something together, but the man shook his head.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll eat in the dining car."
Zhou Xiang coughed and said, "Remember to zip up your bag."
The man was stunned, then nodded and left.
The cold middle-aged woman glanced at Zhou Xiang, said nothing, and got up to wash up.
More than an hour later, the man came back, looked at Zhou Xiang, and said thank you softly.
Zhou Xiang shook his head and started packing his things as it was time to get off the bus.
Looking at the two bags, a box, and a large package that Zhou Xiang pulled out, the man said he would take him out of the car.
Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "You are not suitable, big brother up there, please don't sleep, please send us, the old and the young, away!"
The young man opened his eyes and said, "Okay, wait!"
With the young man's help, Zhou Xiang and Old Lady Liu got off the train smoothly. "Thank you, brother."
The young man waved and returned to the car.
Zhou wanted to tie his scarf tightly, put on his gloves, and pile and tie up all his things.
"Grandma, please sit up."
Old Mrs. Liu wanted to shake her head, but seeing her expression that refused to be refused, she bent down and sat on the big bag.
"I caught it."
Going out of the ticket gate is another hassle.
Old Mrs. Liu got into the special car and special seat again.
The little girl pulling the luggage and the old lady really caught many people's eyes on the street.
There were also kind people who came forward to help play a section, and Zhou Xiang thanked them with a smile.
I got off the train at 7:30, asked along the way, and finally found the elementary school at 9 o'clock.
When the message room saw that an old man and a child were visiting relatives, they immediately opened the school door and let them in.
"Come in quickly. It's warm inside. I'll go get Teacher Jiang to pick you up."
"Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome."
After Zhou Xiang and Old Lady Liu entered the message room, the old man closed the school gate and went to the dormitory area at the back to call people.
More than half an hour later, two men and women in their thirties entered the message room.
"mom!"
"mom!"
The two heartfelt calls made Old Lady Liu feel a little relieved, as she had been worried since she knew she was going to celebrate the New Year.
"Hey! Go home and talk, go home and talk."
"Okay! Let's go home and talk. Oh! Is this what you're thinking about? I haven't seen you for two years. You've changed!"
"Aunt, uncle!"
“Hey!”
"Hey! Let's go!"
My uncle-in-law pulled the cart, and my aunt supported Old Lady Liu, thanked the old man in the message room, and walked to the back.
Everyone walked slowly with Old Lady Liu.
"Long Chao, you pull the cart and go back with Xiang Xiang first. I'll walk slowly with Mom."
"Okay! Let's go first after thinking about it."
"good!"
The thin figure next to me had disappeared from my mind for half a century. Now when I see it again, my heart feels sour and sweet.
The 1.75-meter-tall figure, the pale complexion caused by illness, the gentle smile, and the elegant temperament all told her that the man who teased her with coins, the man who pulled her out from behind her family with a camera hanging on his shoulder, took several photos of her, and said, "Others have forgotten you, but you must remember yourself," was still fine.
Long Chao turned his head and found that the little girl next to him was already in tears.
He quickly dropped the cart and squatted beside her, "What's wrong? Think about it! Tell your uncle if you have been wronged."
Zhou Xiang shook his head and quickly wiped away his tears with his hands, "No, let's go home quickly!"
Long Chao nodded, stood up and continued pulling the cart. He would talk to Jiang Weifang later and ask her to communicate with the ten-year-old girl.
Zhou tried hard to control his emotions. As long as his uncle-in-law was still around, that was enough.
In the staff dormitory, Room 302, Unit 2, Building 1, Zhou wanted to help move the things from the car up in two batches.
My uncle-in-law has asthma. When he is not having an attack, he can still do heavy work.
It was so hot I took off my coat as soon as I entered the house. Although Mou County is south of the Yellow River, my aunt's school is wealthy! The plumbing bureau must install heating in all its subordinate units.
My aunt and I are both teachers at this school for children of students from the Guandao School, so we allocated this building of more than 60 square meters.
The indoor temperature is 26 degrees, and I feel comfortable only when wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants.
Little cousin Long Xin looked at Zhou Xiang with her innocent eyes. Zhou Xiang touched her chubby face and said, "Call me Fourth Sister."
Long Xin was so scared that she hid behind her father. Long Chao pulled her out and said, "Baby, this is your older sister. Call her Fourth Sister."
This time, Long Xin opened her mouth and called out "Fourth Sister".
