Chapter 17: Embark on a New Journey



Early the next morning, Song Jinxiu went to the train station to buy a ticket.

Nowadays, you can’t buy tickets whenever you want. You have to buy them whenever you want.

The train station is always bustling with people no matter what time of day.

Looking at the crowded train station, Song Jinxiu took a deep breath and rushed forward!

Rushed to the ticket window.

"I want a ticket that goes to Guangdong Province the fastest." Song Jinxiu said to the window.

"Don't squeeze in the back, there's people buying in the front!"

"Goudan, Goudan, where are you? You naughty boy, who told you to run around? Be careful, or you'll be slapped away by Pahuazi."

Then there was the slap of love.

"The fastest train to Guangzhou is at 5pm. Do you want one?" the ticket seller asked, but he simply handed over the ticket.

"Yes! Song Jinxiu handed over the money and exchanged it for a ticket." Then she squeezed out with difficulty holding the freshly-issued ticket.

After bidding farewell to the train station, I went on another shopping spree. My last one. I felt like I hadn't bought enough. I just wanted to take the entire department store with me.

Then we went to the snack street and left feeling satisfied.

I went back to the hotel to pack my things. I was here to buy my dowry, so I bought a bright red enamel basin, enamel cups, and a large Double Happiness thermos.

There is also a large peony quilt cover and bright red fabric. It looks very festive.

Stuffing everything into her big cloth bag.

Say goodbye to here, I’m about to go on a long voyage!

"Are you leaving?" Xiaojuan pulled Song Jinxiu reluctantly.

In just a few days, the two established a deep revolutionary friendship.

"Well! I've been out for many days, and it's time for me to go home." Song Jinxiu said.

"Then you must remember to write to me next time, okay?" Xiaojuan said.

"Okay, I may go to Guangdong Province in the future. I will write to you when I settle down." Song Jinxiu said.

More friends mean more paths, especially when the other party is in a big city like Shanghai.

"Why go so far? I heard it's very remote over there." Xiaojuan said with a frown.

"I haven't been there either. My fiancé is from there!" said Song Jinxiu.

"Oh. Then remember to write to me when you get there!" Xiaojuan said with red eyes.

"Oh. After you said that, I don't want to leave anymore. Little crybaby. Don't cry anymore. When I get there, I will send you some local specialties." Song Jinxiu pinched her nose.

Are people these days so simple? I'm already reluctant to let go after only knowing her for less than two weeks.

The Shanghai market has never been so peaceful, so Xiaojuan was kept at home by her parents. In the past, she was always accompanied by her parents when she went out.

If her family didn't run a hotel, she would have very few opportunities to meet outsiders.

So it's rare to meet someone of the same age who has lived with you for so long and we get along very well.

That's why I'm so reluctant to let go.

"Why are you holding on to me? We're getting ready to go. Let go of me and don't delay me from catching the train." The driver came in and helped Song Jinxiu pick up the luggage on the ground.

It was only later that I learned that the driver and the hotel were related, and Xiaojuan was his daughter.

And a five-year-old son.

After bidding farewell to Xiaojuan reluctantly, Song Jinxiu got on a rickshaw and left.

"I'm sorry, my dear. Xiaojuan has met too few people of her age. It's a bit too much!" said the coachman, Brother Chen.

"No, no, Xiaojuan is a very nice person with a genuine nature. She doesn't look down on me as a foreigner and is willing to be friends with me. Hehe!" Song Jinxiu was telling the truth.

People in Shanghai have a sense of superiority because they have lived in the city since childhood.

If it were Song Jinxiu, she wouldn't care. After all, she used to be half a city dweller. Now the distinction between urban and rural areas is clear. In a few decades, everyone will be proud of being in the countryside.

After entering the train station, Song Jinxiu changed the contents of the cloth bag into lighter items.

I put away all the fragile items myself.

Go and bring your little donkey back. You have to settle it down first.

"You, you, tell me, I've exhausted all my energy just to bring you along. When we get there, you must work hard for me, okay?" Song Jinxiu poked the donkey's forehead and lectured it.

I fed it a meal of wheat and platycodon, and secretly gave it some beans before I went to check it in. It was already 4:30.

Sitting in the lobby holding my luggage waiting for the train.

Yang City, ah, is not only the place where I lived. Maybe there is still a hint of obscure fantasy in my heart.

"My dear girl, could you please hold the baby for me? I want to go to the toilet." A kind-looking elder sister was standing in front of Song Jinxiu and interrupted her thoughts.

"Sorry, I don't know how to hug." Song Jinxiu shook her head and refused.

"Look, he's asleep. Please hold him for me. I'll be back after I go to the toilet." The eldest sister showed the child's face to Song Jinxiu. The little boy, who was three or four years old, was indeed sleeping soundly.

"Sorry, please ask someone else for help." Song Jinxiu still shook her head.

"No, why don't you listen to me, kid? You have no compassion at all. You are always reluctant to help me." The elder sister suddenly raised her voice and said.

When the people nearby heard this, they all glanced at Song Jinxiu subtly.

"No, stop right there. Who are you talking about?" Song Jinxiu grabbed the older sister.

"Everyone, please judge for yourself. Do you think there is such a person? He forced his child on me. He is not afraid that I am a beggar." Song Jinxiu said loudly. He would not let her leave.

"No, let me go. If you don't want to hold me, then don't. Can't I just leave?" The eldest sister probably didn't expect a little girl to shout out loud. She looked at the crowd that gathered around her and wanted to take back her clothes.

"Then just go. Why are you still talking to me in a sarcastic way?" Song Jinxiu said relentlessly.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Please let me go. I still need to go to the toilet." The eldest sister quickly admitted her mistake.

"How come your son can sleep so well? He sleeps so soundly even in this condition?" Song Jinxiu did not let her go, but looked at the child in her arms.

"It's normal for children to sleep a lot and sleep soundly." The elder sister held the boy tightly in her arms.

Song Jinxiu noticed a hint of panic on her face!

"No matter how much the child sleeps, he should wake up after hearing such noise."

"What's the big deal? My kid can't be woken up even by thunder."

"My little grandson wakes up when he hears the sound."

“That’s the one in my house too.”

"Could this woman be a flower girl?"

The crowd immediately started talking.

"What's going on? What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?" Several flight attendants came over.

Song Jinxiu felt the struggle in her hands intensify. The elder sister's clothes were still in Song Jinxiu's hands.

"Comrades, we are discussing the boy in the arms of this elder sister. We have been arguing here for so long. But he doesn't seem to wake up. Is he sick?" Song Jinxiu said, pointing at the little boy.

"No, no, my son is just sleeping soundly, he is not sick." The eldest sister hugged the boy tightly and denied it vehemently.

"Hello, sister, we have a special health worker at the station who can help check you. If you are sick, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. It will be inconvenient once you get on the train." The conductor said politely to the sister.
