Chapter 158 Reluctant to Return to the Village



Although everyone was reluctant to leave, what Gu Changzheng said was indeed true; if they delayed any longer, they would miss the train.

This train only runs once a day, and if you miss today's train, you don't know when you'll be able to get back. Because you might not be able to buy a ticket for tomorrow's train.

Knowing that Lu Huaijiao and her family couldn't afford to waste any more time, Aunt Pang and Aunt Zheng didn't say anything more. They held Lu Huaijiao's hand and told her to be careful when she got to the village.

"Especially now that you have children, you can't jump around like that, or you might hurt the child."

Lu Huaijiao lost her mother at a young age, and her maternal grandmother passed away. Aunt Pang and Aunt Zheng took care of these matters concerning their daughter.

In fact, when Aunt Zheng came to chat with Lu Huaijiao these days, she also secretly said a lot of private things to Lu Huaijiao.

Aunt Zheng repeatedly reminded Lu Huaijiao of things she shouldn't do during pregnancy, fearing that Lu Huaijiao might not be able to refuse Gu Changzheng and that this could lead to a death.

The reason they are giving her more instructions now is because they are worried about Lu Huaijiao.

This concern was genuine, and Lu Huaijiao naturally wouldn't find them nagging.

After exchanging a few more words, they finally got into the car to say goodbye. Lu Huaijiao sat in the car, watching the two aunts outside secretly wiping away tears. Lu Huaijiao's eyes also turned a little red.

However, she held back.

She didn't immediately burst into tears.

The driver started the car, and Lu Huaijiao waved to the people seeing her off outside the window. Aunt Zheng called out to the car, "Jiaojiao, don't worry, your aunt will look after things at home. Come back whenever you have time."

"I promise I'll take good care of the flowers at home."

Aunt Zheng spoke up.

Lu Huaijiao nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She kept looking out the window until she could no longer see them, then she turned her gaze away.

Gu Changzheng folded the handkerchief carefully and gently wiped away her tears, then coaxed her softly, "Don't cry. We'll come back when the child is older, okay?"

Lu Huaijiao snorted, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

Hearing Gu Changzheng's words, she grumbled, "When the child grows up, maybe I can go back to the city at will. When I come back, I won't leave again; I'll stay in Shanghai."

"Okay, okay, I'll earn more money so our baby and child can live in a big house in the city, okay?"

"Isn't this necessary?"

Lu Huaijiao glared at Gu Changzheng, annoyed that he had spouted useless 'nonsense'. Gu Changzheng was amused by Lu Huaijiao's actions and said a few more words, which finally made Lu Huaijiao smile as well.

Shu Aiguo, sitting in the front passenger seat, listened to the conversation between the two young people in the back seat, and a smile appeared on his face.

My old friend's granddaughter married a man who seems very reliable so far, so I'm sure my old friend is relieved now...

The group arrived at the station, but the train hadn't pulled in yet. The driver helped Gu Changzheng take the luggage out of the trunk—three large, round bags that felt like blankets.

Yes, that's right. Inside, there was indeed a thin cotton quilt, and inside the quilt were radios, each one securely tied with rope.

These are all the guys who make money for Gu Changzheng; to him, they're second only to his little ancestor. So he'll definitely pretend to be sturdy.

It won't break even if it gets bumped or knocked.

No one would be able to tell from the appearance that the sack contained electronic products that are now very scarce.

The watches were also carefully wrapped in soft silk, then inside a wad of cotton, and finally placed in burlap sacks. In short, the best possible protection was taken to prevent them from being bumped or damaged in any way.

After all, if something like this gets scratched or damaged, its price might be affected.

Gu Changzheng brought the goods back from such a long distance, so he must have been thinking about maximizing his profits.

Shu Aiguo glanced at the three sacks, then looked away and said to Lu Huaijiao, "It's inconvenient for one person to carry so many things onto the bus. Xiao Zhang and I will help you put them on the bus and then get off."

The train station is crowded, and Shanghai is a very large station, so it is really big and crowded.

With so many people, and one person carrying so much luggage, plus having to take care of Lu Huaijiao, it was indeed quite inconvenient for them to get on and off the train.

Gu Changzheng nodded.

"Thank you for your trouble, Grandpa."

"You are welcome."

Shu Aiguo waved to Gu Changzheng, and then, together with Xiao Zhang, saw Gu Changzheng and the others off to their car.

Nowadays, train stations don't have security checks or anything like that. You can bring anything on the train, chickens, ducks, and all sorts of things. As long as you can bring them on, no one will care.

Now you can also send people directly to the car, find a good spot, and wait until the car is about to leave before getting off.

Gu Changzheng and his companions were in a deluxe sleeper car, the kind of car that even the wealthy couldn't buy without connections. Near the front of the train, the entire car was divided into several deluxe sleeper compartments.

Each compartment can accommodate two people, at most two adults with two children, so there aren't many people getting on the bus here.

It's not too crowded.

Moreover, there were railway police checking tickets at the entrance, which effectively prevented passengers from sneaking into the hard-seat carriages.

Lu Huaijiao handed over their tickets, and after the railway police confirmed that everything was correct, they were allowed to board the train.

"Those dropping off passengers, hurry up and get off."

Railway police officer speaks

Shu Aiguo agreed.

After they escorted her to her seat, Shu Aiguo gave her a final instruction, telling Gu Changzheng to take good care of Lu Huaijiao in the countryside. Then he gave Gu Changzheng a note that he had prepared in advance.
