I spent thirty cents to buy three lunch boxes of white porridge. My sister and niece didn't wake up until they finished eating. "You two slept too soundly. My elder sister and I had finished eating before you woke up." Shen Anyu resigned himself to getting shoes for the two of them, and then acted as a flower protector and took his sister to wash up. When he came back, he didn't want to move after sitting on the bunk. These days, it's so crowded outside when you take the train to catch a few meals.
All day, except for drinking water, buying food, and going to the restroom, we didn't leave the compartment. Although there were fewer people in the compartment than in the hard seats, there were still many petty thieves, and it was still chaotic outside. We read books, ate snacks, and took turns sleeping when we felt tired. Time passed quickly.
Perhaps it was because she felt more homesick the closer she got, Shen An Ning suffered from insomnia at night, which was rare. The closer she got to Beijing, the more she couldn't sleep. She felt excited and nostalgic. Five or six years had passed in a flash, and this time their family was together.
Shen An Ning, who had only dozed off for a short while, was not sleepy at all. Before the train arrived, she excitedly woke up the children. Xixi, who was always irritable, was no exception this time. "We will be home soon. It must be our parents and aunt and uncle who will come to pick us up. An Yu and An Xuan, you two can keep an eye on Xixi. Just stand by the window at the door and wait. Big sister will take the luggage, okay? We are not in a hurry."
Before Ana Shen got off the train with her younger brother and sister, her uncle came up from the front of the train with her father. Knowing the room number, he walked over directly.
"Ningning, Xiaoyu, Xuanxuan."
"Uncle-in-law."
"Hey, my uncle is here. This is Xixi, she's so pretty, let me hug her." Relying on his height and fast walking speed, our Chief Pengcheng broke the rules of martial ethics and left his second uncle behind, and got the little Xixi, whom he had only seen in the photo, first.
Shen Anning had already brought Xixi to recognize people through photos a long time ago, so she was not shy. She hugged Pengcheng's neck and called him "Uncle Uncle" obediently, which made Shen's father behind her very jealous.
"Hey, second brother, I'll carry the kids down first. You take the luggage. Don't tire Ningning out."
"Hey, what are you talking about? This is my daughter."
Shen Anning and her younger brother and sister were very amused listening to the bickering between the two. In the past, their father always liked to bicker with their uncle. Usually, their uncle could not win over Shen's father, who came from a literary family, so their uncle would always win back at the wine table. They had not seen such a scene for a long time.
Because the platform was chaotic, Shen's mother, her aunt, and her two little kids were waiting in the car outside. Seeing a few people coming out, her little cousin Peng Zhe ran over quickly, "Hey, Dad, this is my little niece, come on and let me hug her and give her a kiss."
"Hey, you are so clumsy. Don't fall again. It's cold outside. Let Xixi and your cousin get in the car and talk about it when we get home." Peng Cheng quickly got into the passenger seat with Xixi in his arms. Just kidding, he hadn't hugged Xixi enough, so how could it be his own kid's turn?
Because most of the courtyard houses at home were rented out to several government departments and streets as offices, this time Shen's father and mother moved into the military compound with grandparents, which happened to be closer to his aunt and the others. Grandpa Shen's status and achievements were there, and he was allocated a two-story building with a courtyard. There were five or six rooms in it, which was enough for the whole family to live in.
The car drove into the compound. From a distance, Shen Anning saw her grandparents standing at the gate waiting for them. The family hugged and smiled when they met. Grandma Shen had already cooked noodles and was waiting for them to come back.
