At this time, there was a knock on the door. Meng Tao opened the door and saw that it was Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing who came to take her to the train station.

Meng Zhehan borrowed a jeep and parked it downstairs. Seeing the two travel bags that Meng Tao had packed, he and Zhang Guoqing each picked up one and called Meng Tao downstairs.

Meng Tao went to the service desk to hand in the key. She stayed there for free and did not have to go through any other formalities. She only had to sign her name on a form. The waiter then called the factory office, and the person on the other end gave Meng Tao the phone. It was the union chairman, who gave Meng Tao some instructions. Meng Tao expressed her gratitude again on the phone.

After leaving the guesthouse and getting into the back seat of the jeep, Meng Tao saw two bags and a net bag of pears and apples on the side of the seat and asked who they belonged to. Zhang Guoqing coughed and replied:

"Please take the blue bag back to Cuiling for me. You can eat the pears and apples in the net bag on the way."

Meng Zhehan was driving the car: "There is a brown paper bag in the dark green bag. That was bought by Shen Yu. The others are what I prepared for you. They are all snacks. There are no other good things."

Snacks are not good things? Meng Tao said: "I must take back the things that Guoqing gave to Cuiling, but I don't want the fruits and snacks. Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I can't carry so many bags."

Meng Zhehan said: "How about I arrange for you to have your luggage checked in?"

"No, there's no point in shipping this little stuff."

"That's it. It's just a little bit. You can carry it."

Meng Tao: “…”

You're lying to me and contradicting yourself like this, is that fun? She rummaged through a few bags: "But it's really hard to carry them. They're so heavy and there's so many of them. I'm afraid I'll lose one on the way."

Zhang Guoqing immediately said, "Don't throw away mine. There are things I bought for Cuiling and a letter I wrote in it."

"I know." Meng Tao found it funny. This was a man from the Ba family.

Meng Zhehan said, "It won't be lost. You don't have to change trains along the way. Guoqing said that his fiancée will meet you at the end of the station. You just need to be careful when you get off the train. If you are really worried, Guoqing will help you tie it up with a small rope when you get on the train."

"But, that snack..."

"It's just a little gift from my brother, don't refuse it."

"It's too much. If you buy it, Brother Shen will buy it too. It will cost money."

"It's okay. He should do it. I sent away many of his cousins ​​for him in the past. I finally got a chance to ask him to pay it back."

"...Brother, you are so good to me, but I have nothing to give in return. I am sorry."

"Just write to me often and send me some delicious food from home."

Meng Tao: “…”

Well, since they are sincere, it would be disrespectful to refuse, so this is the only way for now.

At the train station, Zhang Guoqing queued up to buy a ticket. Meng Tao offered him money, but Zhang Guoqing refused, saying, "Teacher Meng has already given me money."

Meng Tao was upset: I was the one who wanted to take the bus, not you, Teacher Meng. Why did I refuse the money, but Teacher Meng accepted it? Did Zhang Guoqing believe in this "brother-sister relationship from 500 years ago" more than she did? Meng Tao had to make another note: she owed Brother Meng another train ticket.

Meng Zhehan asked Meng Tao to sit down on a long bench and talk. He asked her what her future plans were and whether she wanted to go to school. Meng Tao shook her head and said, "From now on, I will be the only one supporting the family. I have to work and earn work points. It is impossible for me to go to school."

"Brother can support you."

"Thank you. If I were a few years younger, I would be happy to accept your help, but I am an adult now and can rely on myself. Why should I rely on others? This is a bad habit."

"But it's a pity that you don't go to school. You have a very smart brain, don't you know that? You should learn more cultural knowledge while you are young. It will always be useful."

"Okay then. If you have any questions, you can write to me."

"OK."

Meng Tao looked at Meng Zhehan a little embarrassedly: "I have to apologize to you. I thought you would support Xian Fangfang and Tian Zhigao together with Shen Yu, because Xian Fangfang calls Shen Yu brother, they are children of the same factory, grew up together, and have a good relationship as childhood sweethearts."

Meng Zhehan laughed: "It would be funny if Shen Yu heard this. Shen Yu is a womanizer, so how could he have a childhood sweetheart? Xian Fangfang calls him brother just out of politeness, but he doesn't like to agree."

"Gynophobia? Does that mean he likes men?"

"Hahaha... you're talking nonsense again. That's not happening."

Meng Zhehan smiled as he looked at Meng Tao's big blinking eyes and gossip-filled face. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke that furry little head. She was really worthy of being the sister he adopted, so quirky and funny.

Zhang Guoqing bought the ticket and came back and gave it to Meng Tao to keep. There was still plenty of time, so Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing took the luggage to the custody, then took Meng Tao out of the waiting room and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant. They ordered braised pork, steamed fish, scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, and vegetable soup. They also added a braised chicken leg for Meng Tao, saying that she had a long journey by car and must eat well. They then ordered three bowls of rice and had lunch early.

After dinner, they walked and talked all the way back to the waiting room, and heard the broadcast that the train Meng Tao was going to take was about to arrive at the station, and it was time to line up for ticket checking.

Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing went to the baggage storage office to pick up their luggage. Meng Tao was waiting in line. When it was almost her turn to check her ticket, Tian Zhigao suddenly arrived in a hurry.

Tian Zhigao was also carrying a bulging travel bag and a net bag, in which were two canned fruits, two bags of colorful candies, and a few apples and pears. He strode up to Meng Tao and first blamed her for not telling him that she was going home. If he hadn't gone to the guesthouse to check in the morning, he wouldn't have known that she was coming to take the bus. He was in a hurry and couldn't get ready. Then he handed the bag and net bag to Meng Tao:

"Please take this travel bag back to my parents. The canned food, candies, and fruits in the net bag are for you to eat on the way."

Meng Tao refused to take it and pointed at Zhang Guoqing and Meng Zhehan's hands: "Look, I have so much luggage that I can't even carry it all. How can I help you carry your things? You can go to the post office and mail it."

"The post office is too slow. It's faster for you to take the bus."

"This train won't go all the way to Linshui Village. I have to change buses and take a horse-drawn carriage. I only have two hands and can't carry it."

Tian Zhigao frowned: "Peach Blossom, it's just a bag."

"I'm sorry Comrade Tian, ​​I can't do it!"

Meng Zhehan used his travel bag to block Tian Zhigao away and protected Meng Tao as they walked forward: "Please don't block the way. It's time to check your tickets and enter the station."

He turned back and called out, "Zhang Guoqing, follow me."

Zhang Guoqing agreed: "Okay, let's go, don't dawdle!"

After squeezing a little harder, Tian Zhigao was pushed to the side. Tian Zhigao: “…”

Seeing Meng Tao was about to walk in, Tian Zhi shouted, "Taohua, tell my parents that the wedding is cancelled and tell them not to come."

When the people in the queue heard the word "the wedding is cancelled", they all looked at Meng Tao, and Meng Tao cursed in her heart, saying that she was crazy.

He simply turned around and said to Tian Zhigao, "I forgot to tell you: your father had a stroke and is in the hospital, your sister has a head injury and is also in the hospital, your brother and your sister are getting married... You should buy a ticket and go home to see it yourself!"
