The old couple felt very disappointed, but it was too late to regret.
Of course, this is all later.
Xu Kang stayed at home for ten days, helping his parents clean the house, selling clothes, meeting up with his childhood playmates, and taking a tour of Pingxi Town. It was almost time for him to set off back to Anshi.
It was only a week until school started.
It takes them two days to travel by train, and if the train is delayed it may take three or four days, so it is safer to depart early.
Wait until he returns to Anshi.
Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin went to buy tickets immediately.
Anshi is in the south and the capital is in the north. The three children who have never left the province are full of yearning for the outside world, and the two adults who have also never left the province are very excited and are thinking about how to make money more practically.
When two adults and three children got on the train.
Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun began to discuss the arrangements for arriving in the capital.
"If you ask me, let's send Akang to school first, and take a tour of his school. I brought my camera with me and took some pictures so I can report back to my sister and brother-in-law. Then we can send Yaya and finally Ping'an. I have already asked for ten days' leave from work, so I can have fun for a few days and then go see them before I come back."
There were many people talking on the train, so Lin Qin didn't make her words very clear, but Chen Wenjun understood them.
It was the first time for the three children to take a train. They were very excited and did not think carefully about the adults' arrangements.
At night.
Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun were both tired, but the three children were still playing cards with great energy.
Xu Kang wanted to go to the toilet, and Chen Ruiyu also felt like peeing, so they went out together.
As a result, they didn't come back for a long time, until there was a commotion outside. Chen Xinyue stuck her head out and saw two people coming towards her aggressively.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xinyue looked suspicious.
Chen Ruiyu shook his head. "It's nothing. We just found a pickpocket and caught him red-handed. It took some time for the flight attendant to come over."
Chen Xinyue immediately looked at them from head to toe and asked, "Are you okay?"
Chen Ruiyu still shook his head.
Xu Kang threw off his shoes angrily and said, "That man was carrying a knife! Fortunately, I was very agile and kicked the knife away. That little thief refused to accept being stepped on by me, humph!"
Lin Qin and his wife had woken up while they were talking.
Seeing Xu Kang so proud, Lin Qin picked up her shoes and slapped him, "What are you making such a fuss about! You don't even know if the thief has any accomplices. If they were a team, you two would have been in trouble a long time ago. Why are you still bragging here? Pack your things quickly and be careful. We will take turns to keep watch and rest. We won't arrive in the capital until tomorrow night. Don't waste all your energy."
The three children nodded repeatedly and cooperated very well.
The couple talked for a while and soon fell asleep again.
The three children, however, were not sleepy, and they quietly gathered together to play cards until dawn, when they could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun had already woken up. The couple looked at the three troublesome children in silence. Just as they were about to go out to wash up, they saw two girls walking in hand in hand.
"Who are you?" Lin Qin looked at the other party in surprise.
The two girls smiled shyly.
The girl in the floral dress on the left said softly, "Auntie, we are here to thank the two comrades who helped us yesterday."
Seeing that Lin Qin didn't respond, the ponytailed girl in a blue shirt on the right continued, "We encountered a thief on the train yesterday. The bag was full of important things and almost lost everything. Fortunately, the two comrades found and caught the thief in time. The conductor just informed us that the thief has been taken away by the police from the police station. We just came here to thank them."
"So that's how it is." Lin Qin smiled kindly and pointed at the three sleeping children. "They have been playing all night and will probably sleep until noon. I will convey your thanks to them."
The two of them nodded quickly and retreated embarrassedly.
Even after they were far away from the sleeper car, Su Wanwan was still a little nervous, "Sister Jiahui, that auntie just now looked so beautiful and elegant, not like an ordinary person."
Xu Jiahui agreed deeply, "It's probably from some compound. We've already thanked him. If we have a chance to meet him again, we can thank him in person. There's no need to bother him anymore."
Just from looking at Lin Qin's expression, she knew that they didn't take this matter to heart, and she felt that those people preferred closeness and didn't want to be disturbed too much.
Su Wanwan bit her lip and lowered her eyelids, "Is this really okay?"
Xu Jiahui nodded heavily, "We are not the same kind of people as them, so we should go back and plan our arrangements when we get to school."
Seeing that Xu Jiahui insisted, Su Wanwan had no choice but to follow her.
In fact, the two were not classmates, let alone friends. They were just both candidates in Anshi this year and were admitted to the same university. They met by chance and agreed to go to university together.
Because their relationship was not that good, both of them tried to cooperate with each other as much as possible to avoid conflicts.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards and no further accidents occurred.
By the evening, the train finally arrived in the capital.
Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun had already packed their luggage and checked it carefully twice, even checking the children's things. Only after making sure that nothing was left behind did she breathe a sigh of relief and sit on the bed eating the watermelon she brought from home.
When the radio sounded.
The three men took the initiative to carry all the luggage.
Lin Qin held Chen Xinyue's hand and squeezed off the train with everyone else.
Even at this time, the train station is still crowded and bustling.
Following the directions on the signboards, a few people finally walked out of the station.
When I got outside, I was surrounded by all kinds of drivers soliciting passengers.
Since there were five of them, one car couldn't accommodate them all, and Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin were worried if they were separated.
At this moment, Su Wanwan spotted Lin Qin and his group, and immediately pulled Xu Jiahui over to greet them, "Hello, we meet again!"
Xu Kang looked surprised, "Aren't you the ones who were almost robbed on the train?"
Su Wanwan and Xu Jiahui suddenly felt ashamed.
Lin Qin glared at Xu Kang and asked kindly, "You guys want to take a ride too?"
The two nodded quickly, "We are freshmen from the School of Foreign Languages and we are here to register."
"What a coincidence?" Lin Qin looked at Chen Xinyue, "My daughter is also from the Foreign Languages College. Let's go together?"
"Is it okay?" Su Wanwan's eyes lit up.
Lin Qin nodded. If the five of them took two cars, it would definitely take two or three minutes, which was not safe. It would be easier if there were two more people. Chen Wenjun would take his daughter and the two girls in one car, and she would take another car with Ping An and Xu Kang.
So Chen Wenjun called two cars and gave the address.
When Su Wan got on the bus, she realized that the people sitting with them were not Lin Qin nor the two boys who had helped them, but Chen Wenjun and Chen Xinyue who had never spoken a word.
Chen Wenjun has a calm temperament and is serious. He looks difficult to get along with. Chen Xinyue looks approachable, but her temperament is really outstanding, like that of a young lady. Su Wanwan always feels a little awkward. (End of this chapter)
