Yu Yao raised her wrist and glanced at her watch; it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
I'm not going to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Hearing a noise from the upper bunk, Ge Jinhua looked up and greeted her with a smile, "Yu Yao, you're awake! Come down and eat some grapes. These are from grapevines your uncle brought from his hometown; they're very sweet."
Yu Yao nodded and climbed down the ladder.
Wu Huaiqing was putting things on the luggage rack when he turned around and almost bumped into Yu Yao, which startled him so much that he lowered his head and apologized repeatedly.
"Comrade, I'm so sorry!"
Yu Yao said softly, "It's okay, I'm fine."
The sound was clear and pleasant, as melodious as a lark's.
The people in the surrounding sleeper berths couldn't help but cast their gazes, and when they saw Yu Yao's appearance, they were all somewhat stunned.
The woman had fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of expressive eyes that made her instantly likable.
Although her polyester shirt was a common style found in department stores, for some reason, it looked better on her than on others. Her beautiful hair was styled in thick, voluminous braids, unlike the flat, close-fitting braids of others, which made her look charming and youthful.
The moment Wu Huaiqing looked up and saw Yu Yao clearly, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
It's her, the woman I saw at the train station just now.
That woman who looked a lot like my aunt when she was little.
Wu Huaiqing was filled with excitement. Looking at Yu Yao's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, his nose felt a little sore.
My aunt said that my younger sister was only a month old when she was taken away.
This woman looks remarkably like my aunt when she was young; she could very well be my sister.
Wu Huaiqing wanted to confirm with Yu Yao, but he was afraid of being too hasty and abrupt.
He could only suppress his excitement and decided to find an opportunity to get to know Yu Yao first.
Just then, an untimely voice rang out from the side: "You vixen, shameless."
The person speaking was none other than the noisy kid who had been making a racket ever since he came up.
The brat was spitting in Yu Yao's direction as he spoke.
"What are you doing, kid? Stop right now!" Ge Jinhua was not happy and reached out to grab the naughty child.
The mischievous child hid in the old woman's arms and made a face at Yu Yao, "I won't! My grandma said that pretty girls are vixens, and vixens like to seduce other people's men. They're shameless."
That old woman must be his grandmother.
Not only did they not stop him, but they also stood by smugly, saying, "Jiabao is so smart. He remembered it after Grandma only said it once."
Hearing the old woman's words, Ge Jinhua laughed in anger, "Is this how you raise your children? Like father, like son. Apologize to me right now!"
"Apologize my ass," the old woman said sarcastically, giving Yu Yao a sarcastic look. "Did my grandson name anyone? You're just making things up yourself. What does this have to do with my grandson!"
"You..." Ge Jinhua couldn't argue with her, and in her anger, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to fight the old woman.
Just as Yu Yao was about to join in, she saw Hu Lingyu leading Tianya toward them.
Fearing it might be inappropriate for the children to see, he tugged at Ge Jinhua: "Aunt Jinhua, if a dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back. Don't stoop to the level of an animal. Let it go."
The old woman was displeased, glaring with her triangular eyes: "Who are you calling a little beast?"
Yu Yao said, "Whoever yells is a little beast."
"Who said I was yelling? You're the one yelling."
Yu Yao looked at her and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? We didn't name names. Or do you think you and your grandson are animals?"
"Why don't you call out a couple of times and let the others hear you?"
The people around had long disliked the old woman and her grandson, and now that they heard Yu Yao's words, they all agreed.
"This woman is right. Make a sound, and we'll listen. It might actually be true!"
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
The old woman's curses caught in her throat. She wanted to retort, but was afraid of being seen as an animal, so she remained silent, her face turning bright red.
You haven't come out for ages.
Seeing the old woman get the short end of the stick, everyone secretly gave Yu Yao a thumbs up, saying, "Well done!"
Seeing that everyone was on Yu Yao's side, and fearing that the commotion would attract the attention of the train conductor, the old woman angrily sat back down.
Hu Lingyu brought Tianya over.
Sweetie happily jumped into Yu Yao's arms, looked up at her, and said, "Auntie, I want to eat the mung bean cake you make."
Yesterday, Yu Yao made some mung bean cakes using the rented stove and shared some with everyone.
The little girl loved it and insisted on eating it on the train, so she came looking for it now.
Yu Yao gave Tianya some mung bean cakes and a military water bottle.
"Eat slowly, take a sip of water after each bite of mung bean cake, don't choke." Mung bean cake is dry, so it's best to eat it with water, otherwise it's easy to choke.
Sweetie nodded obediently.
The mung bean cake is light green in color and has a rich aroma of beans and sweetness.
Yu Yao specially made it in the shape of a plum blossom, which looks very unique and is different from the mung bean cakes sold elsewhere.
Seeing Tianya eating so heartily, the mischievous Zhao Jiabao couldn't help but swallow hard. "Grandma, I want to eat mung bean cake too."
Zhang Cuie glanced at the other side and slapped Zhao Jiabao on the back. "Eat, eat, eat! Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? All you do is eat all day long. When you see your stepmother, tell her to buy you some. You don't have any money for milk."
Zhao Jiabao, having not received any food, began to throw a tantrum, shouting, "I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Zhang Cuie, having no other choice, gave him the remaining dried sweet potato to eat.
Yu Yao and the others saw this but ignored it and continued eating grapes.
