Chapter 174: May Day Holiday - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
Although it was the May Day holiday, high-speed rail tickets were not difficult to buy. Xining was only a small city, but fortunately, the high-speed rail had been opened two years ago. Otherwise, no matter how tired she was, she would definitely drive back. She really couldn't stand the train, and she didn't want to force herself for several hours. After all, the smell on the train was really intoxicating.
She booked a first-class seat on the high-speed rail ticket. As for why she didn't take the high-speed rail before, it was because it was too troublesome to enter the station. The Xinyang high-speed rail station was too big, and it took a long walk from the entrance to the ticket gate.
After finishing her class today, Wen Yan went straight out of the school gate and took a taxi to the high-speed rail station. She had already taken what she needed to take to class. Of course, it was nothing, so she asked Chen Yuyan and the others to take the textbooks back. She just carried a bag with a book in it and all her personal belongings in the bag.
Halfway through the journey, she looked at the time. It was still early and ticket checking would not start for another half an hour, so she was not in a hurry at all and slowed down her pace. The journey was really too long.
I also bought a cup of coffee in the middle, planning to drink it on the high-speed train.
So when she arrived, she walked around for a long time before finding her ticket gate, and there were not many people there at that time.
After she went down the stairs, the high-speed train had already arrived, so she walked a long way before reaching the front.
Well, I’d better drive home next time and ask Meng Qinghe to drive.
Of course the drive was very fast, arriving in just over an hour.
Fortunately, Xining is just a small or medium-sized city, and the high-speed rail station is not very big. After exiting the station, I hailed a taxi and asked them to take me directly home. The journey took another hour.
After Wen Yan paid the fare, she looked at the time. It was good. She left the school gate at 10:30 and it was already 2:30. She thought it would be around this time if she drove. It was really annoying.
Taking the keys out of her bag, she said she would be home today, but she didn't say what time.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw her grandfather lying on a lounge chair by the pond. But she looked at him and saw that he looked like he was asleep. So she walked over quietly and shook him gently, "Grandpa, Grandpa."
"Huh? Yanyan, you're back so soon." The old man opened his eyes in a daze and saw his precious granddaughter appear in front of him.
"Why did you fall asleep in the yard in a daze without even covering yourself with a blanket? What if you catch a cold?" The elderly have poor resistance to illness. Although she had received treatment before, she was still old after all.
Didn't she just lie there and fall asleep because it was so comfortable? The old man quickly changed the subject and pulled his granddaughter into the house. "Oh, your grandma knew you were coming back today, so she went to the vegetable market early this morning and made you some black chicken soup. You must be hungry."
Seeing the old man like this, Wen Yan shook his head and said nothing more. He would say hello to the aunt at home later. He had to take care of the elderly at home.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw her grandmother sitting on the sofa watching TV, "Grandma, I'm back."
Just when I was cursing the little girl in the TV series for being so mean, I suddenly heard the voice of her granddaughter.
"Hey, you didn't drive back today. I was probably too engrossed in watching TV and didn't hear you."
After changing her shoes and lying on the sofa, she felt alive again. "No, I couldn't get on the high-speed train, so I took it because it was too troublesome to drive."
Wen Yan, who had just returned home, was the apple of her grandparents' eyes. After drinking two bowls of her grandmother's loving chicken soup and eating a bowl of rice, she managed to fill herself up. "Grandpa, where are my parents? Is Wen Yi having a May Day holiday?"
Watching their granddaughter eat, the old couple was extremely happy. That's right, girls should eat more. They shouldn't imitate those weight-loss strategies on TV. She couldn't stand watching them. She was as thin as a skeleton. "Your parents are at the store. They seem to be having some kind of May Day event, so they're a bit busy. Xiaoyi seems to have the day off. She'll be back today and then back to school for evening self-study on May Day afternoon."
Grandma looked at her granddaughter with heartache. "It's hard for children nowadays. When Xiaoyi came home before, I saw his heavy schoolbag, full of papers. Are you under a lot of pressure at school? Our family is not like before. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. If you are too tired, you can just take a break."
The old man gave her a displeased look and said, "They are young now, and it is time for them to struggle. A loving mother often spoils her children. If they work hard now, they will suffer in the future."
Seeing that the old couple was about to quarrel, Wen Yan quickly hugged her grandmother's arm and acted coquettishly, "Oh, grandma, you don't know how smart your granddaughter is. As long as it requires thinking, it won't be tiring for your granddaughter. Don't worry about it. Don't you go out every day at home?"
"How could that be? You don't know, your grandfather has joined some Tai Chi team now. It's full of old men from various neighborhoods nearby. I met a few sisters there. I didn't go out today because you wanted to come back. They originally asked me to play mahjong today.
There's a square just past the intersection in the evening, and we'll do square dancing together late at night. It's so much fun." The old lady became even more excited when she talked about this, happily sharing with her granddaughter.
She felt relieved to see that the two of them had things they liked to do. She had been worried that they wouldn't be able to stay in the city because they didn't know as many people as they did in the countryside, but it seemed she had been worrying too much.
After sitting with the old woman for a while, she was ready to go back to her room to sleep. She had gotten up too early in the morning and was exhausted from the journey. When she got upstairs, Aunt Ren was cleaning the stairs. Seeing her coming up, she took the initiative to smile and say hello. "Miss"
"Hello, Aunt Ren. By the way, let me tell you, and you and the other two aunts, that the elderly are getting old, so you need to pay more attention to them at home. For example, my grandfather just fell asleep in the yard. You should pay more attention to him in the future and cover him with a blanket."
Aunt Ren nodded. This was their fault to begin with. She said solemnly, "Don't worry, Miss. I'll talk to them later. They should pay more attention to the elderly. It's our fault for not doing our job well."
Wen Yan was very satisfied with the aunt at home. After all, she had been carefully selected before. She nodded and said, "It's okay. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that the elderly need to be more careful as they get older. It's okay. Auntie, you can continue with your work. I'll go upstairs and take a nap."
When she woke up again, she was awakened by the loud knocks on the door and the loud voice of that brat Wen Yi outside the door. "Sister! Sister! Are you awake?"
This awful brother!
"Come in, I'm awake."
As soon as Wen Yi came in, he jumped onto Wen Yan's bed, rolled around twice, and then pressed his whole body onto the quilt on top of her. "Sister, did you come back just to see me? Are you concerned about my high school entrance exam?"
She gave him a look of disdain and pushed him hard. He was so heavy, did he think he was still as light as he was two years ago? "You think too much. I haven't seen my parents for too long and I miss them. You just happened to be there."
Wen Yi grew up with his sister. When the adults at home were busy, it was Wen Yan who took care of him, and the two of them had a very deep bond. Wen Yi habitually ignored her disapproval and said, "I'm telling you, I feel like my brain might have really blossomed this semester. Maybe I, your brother, can get the top scorer in the high school entrance exam this year."
The people in her family are not stupid, and with the good things she gave him, if he doesn't become smarter, she would suspect that his original accessories are too low.
