Song Weizheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He skillfully reached out to take the child and held him in his arms, and asked, "I was just going to be away for a while, how come you have an extra child?"
Jiang Sui Sui also wanted to cry but had no tears: "It's the child of that older sister just now. She went to the toilet and asked me to help watch her for a while. She hasn't come back yet."
Jiang Suisui patted the seat that was squeezed out beside him and said, "Don't stand there, come and sit down. By the way, what did you do just now? Your seat has been occupied by someone for a long time, shall we go and take it back?"
Song Weizheng shook his head, then whispered in Jiang Suisui's ear, "I went to the front sleeper compartment and changed two beds. I'll take the luggage and we'll go over there later."
"!!" Jiang Sui Sui couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in surprise, "Really?"
At this moment, the elder sister who had just left to go to the restroom came back. Seeing that the seat she had originally occupied was occupied by someone else, she smiled without any embarrassment and said, "Young man, the baby in your arms is my son. Can I sit here for a while? You are young and strong, but I am old and holding a child. I cannot stand!"
Song Wei Zheng didn't say anything. He just stood up and handed the child back. Then he took Jiang Sui Sui's hand and said, "We won't sit here anymore. You sit here."
Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly. The elder sister was still a little stunned. During this time, Song Weizhen and Jiang Suisui had already quickly left the carriage and headed to the front.
After crossing several carriages, we finally arrived at the sleeper carriage, which was much more spacious than the hard seat carriage. Jiang Suishun finally felt that he could take a breath.
Song Wei Zheng brought Jiang Suinsui to an empty berth in the lower bunk room and sat them down. Then he brought their luggage over and put them on the shelf, closed the door of the room, and then sat down peacefully.
Seeing that he was busy for a long time and his forehead was sweaty, Jiang Suisui raised her hand to wipe it for him: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Song Weizheng chuckled and pulled her hand down to hold it, jokingly saying, "It's not hard, not as hard as you just holding the baby."
Jiang Suishun was speechless, and wanted to laugh a little when she thought of that scene: "It was my first time holding a child. He was so small and soft. I didn't dare to use force, and I was afraid that I would drop him. It was too difficult!"
Jiang Suisui looked at him and said, "You are quite skilled at hugging. You look very good."
"Yeah." Song Weizheng said calmly, "I practiced it when I was holding Xiaoxue."
Jiang Sui Sui couldn't help but fantasize: "It will be much easier to take care of my own children in the future, and you will be the boss!"
Song Wei Zheng smiled and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "But you have to give me a baby first."
Jiang Suishun's ears immediately felt hot and her face flushed. She pushed him away and said, "What are you talking about? You're just imagining things!"
"By the way!" Jiang Suunsui began to change the subject, "How did you get this sleeper ticket?"
When they bought the tickets before, only standing tickets were left. Even the seated tickets just now were bought by Song Weizheng through someone else. It is said that sleeper berths are even harder to buy, and usually you need connections to buy them.
Song Weizheng said calmly: "If you want to exchange with others, you just need money. There will always be people willing to stand a little longer in exchange for some money."
Jiang Suinsui sighed: "It is indeed more convenient to carry some money with you. It is useful wherever you go."
She lay down with her head tilted back and said comfortably, "Fortunately you changed seats so we can lie down for a while at night. Otherwise, our bodies will become stiff after sitting all night."
"We'll still have a lot of trouble after we get off the bus, so try to get some rest first." Song Weizheng stood up, took out a water cup from his bag, and said, "I'll go get some hot water first. Take out the food and don't let it get spoiled."
After Song Wei Zheng came back with the water, the two of them used the hot water to finish half of the steamed buns and eggs prepared by Grandma Jiang.
Jiang Suisui urged while eating: "Eat more. Grandma prepared too much. I'm afraid it won't be fresh if there's anything left tomorrow."
Song Weizheng: "It's okay, just eat one more meal tomorrow and it will be gone."
After the two of them finished eating, Jiang Suinsui got up to open the door to let some air out the smell. As soon as her hand touched the doorknob, before she could exert any force, the door was opened with a swish.
Jiang Suinsui was stunned for a moment, and saw that the people who opened the door in front of her were also two young people, a man and a woman. The woman walked in front, dressed in a fashionable way, with curlers, which made her particularly eye-catching in this gray era. She was the one who opened the door just now. The man was ordinary, with a short flat head, and was carrying two bags behind.
Jiang Suinsui smiled politely and went back to sitting.
After the two men came in, for some reason they didn't put their luggage away properly and just placed it in the middle of the aisle, almost pressing on Jiang Suinsui's feet.
Jiang Suishun looked up with a confused look on her face. She saw that the other person was already sitting beside the bed, talking and laughing. It was obvious that she had no intention of putting down her luggage.
Song Weizheng, who was standing by, picked up the luggage at Jiang Suisui's feet and said to the guy with the flat head, "It's not convenient to put the luggage here. There's room on the shelf in front. I'll take you there to put it."
The two people opposite were stunned for a moment, then the short-haired guy smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. I just got on the car and saw that the shelves outside were full, so I thought there was no room left."
Then Song Wei Zheng led him out, leaving Jiang Suishun and the curly-haired girl opposite them looking at each other in bewilderment.
The curly-haired girl glanced in the direction they left, then looked Jiang Suunshun up and down with a scrutinizing look, which made Jiang Suunshun feel uncomfortable and almost wanted to blurt out "What are you looking at?"
Curly-haired girl: "Hey, was that your brother just now?"
Jiang Suinsui shook his head and said, "She's my boyfriend."
The curly-haired girl smiled with a hint of disdain and said, "I thought he was your brother. They don't look like a couple..."
"..." Jiang Suinsui looked down at herself and began to wonder, do she and Song Weizheng seem incompatible?
The curly-haired girl flipped her hair and said with a smile, "Sister, you look too young. Are you an adult?"
Jiang Suishun was speechless: "I am an adult now, but I am only two years younger than my partner..."
The curly-haired girl shook her head and said, "Too naive, so boring."
Before Jiang Suinshun could figure out what this meant, Song Weizheng and the others came back.
Seeing that Jiang Suishun looked unhappy, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Suinsui shook her head: "Nothing, let's go out for a walk and take a look at the scenery on the other side of the corridor."
Song Weizheng nodded and took her out of the room. After closing the door, he asked again, "What did you say to that person just now? When I came back, I saw that you looked unhappy."
Jiang Sui Sui retorted, "I'm not unhappy. It's just... that person just asked if you were my brother, saying that we don't look like a good match, and that I looked too young and too immature. What does that mean?"
Song Weizheng pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Why do you care what she means? She is an irrelevant person anyway."
When Jiang Suishun was unhappy, her cheeks would swell up unconsciously, a habit she herself hadn't even noticed. So when she was unhappy, Song Weizheng could tell immediately and couldn't help itching to pinch them.
Jiang Suishun snorted and said, "Forget it, just think of it as her complimenting me, even though her eyes are always weird..."
Song Wei Zheng touched her head and soothed her, "If you don't like it, let's just sit outside for a while and go back when it's time to go to bed. We can get there tomorrow after a good night's sleep."
Jiang Suinsui nodded, sat down in the aisle seat, looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, and sighed, "I'm getting farther and farther away from home..."
It was afternoon when Jiang Suinsui got on the bus. Now it was almost evening and the sky was dark.
She and Song Wei Zheng talked while looking at the scenery. Before they knew it, it was getting dark. The lights in the train came on and attendants started walking back and forth, reminding people that the dining car was about to close and those who needed to have dinner should hurry.
Maybe it was because of the fatigue from the journey. As soon as it got dark, Jiang Suinshun yawned several times. She couldn't sit still anymore and began to lean on Song Weizheng, looking listless.
Song Wei Zheng rubbed her hair and asked, "Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to sleep."
Jiang Suinsui rubbed her eyes, nodded, stretched, and stood up.
Song Wei Zheng turned around and opened the door of the private room, then paused. Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Sui Sui leaned over to look over.
Jiang Suisui: “…”
In the private room, the floor was littered with melon seed shells and peanut shells. The two men were leaning on the bed, eating and vomiting at the same time. What upset Jiang Suisui the most was that they took off their shoes and kicked their feet on her bed. While they were talking, laughing, and playing, their feet kept kicking around, making the bed a mess.
Jiang Suisui: …Ahhhhhh I want to go crazy!
Song Wei Zheng did not let her in, and turned around and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go call someone over."
After a while, Song Weizheng came back with the flight attendant, who was holding a broom. He exclaimed, "Hey, don't spit the melon seeds and peanut shells on the ground. There are crumbs everywhere. It's getting late. If you haven't eaten yet, go to the dining car in front. Dinner is still being served. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up."
When the two men saw the flight attendant coming, they felt a little disappointed. They clapped their hands, put away the remaining melon seeds and peanuts, and finally stopped eating them.
After the flight attendant finished cleaning and left, Song Wei Zheng took out two sets of sheets from home from his bag, lifted the top sheet and put it on again, put the other sheet under the quilt, and took out a pillowcase and put it on the pillow.
After they were done, he pulled Jiang Suunsui in, pointed up there and said, "You can sleep up there at night. There's a fence, but be careful not to fall down."
Jiang Suinsui felt a lot more at ease when she looked at the made bed.
Even though the two people just now were stepping on the lower floor, it was so disgusting that she almost didn't want to come in.
Jiang Suinsui looked at the lower bed and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do? Can I make the bed for you too?"
Song Weizheng touched her head and said, "You go upstairs and sleep first. I'll do it myself."
Jiang Suinsui nodded, took off her shoes, climbed up, and looked down at Song Weizheng who had prepared the lower floor. Only then did she relax.
She lay on the head of the bed, her head lowered to look at him.
Song Weizheng touched her drooping braid and asked, "Is the quilt enough? Will you be cold?"
Jiang Suinsui shook her head, and her braid swayed along with it: "It's not cold."
The curly-haired girl opposite watched silently for a long time, and finally couldn't help but nudge the short-haired guy with her elbow, saying sourly: "You should learn from them too!"
