Chapter 116

Even in the later world, taking an overnight train is not a particularly pleasant experience. That was the era of disposable travel bedding.

Qiao Wei led Yan Xiang, and Yan Lei sent them to the train.

Fortunately, because it was a sleeper car, the sanitary conditions were really much better. Even the attitude of the attendants was much better.

Especially seeing that they were military dependents.

Yan Lei received the bedding with the bedding ticket, and the three of them found the compartment together.

As soon as the door was opened, Yan Xiang saw it and said: "Wow~"

Children always exclaim with such joy and satisfaction for new and strange things they have never seen before.

Even adults will feel as if the world they are used to and tired of has suddenly become beautiful.

Qiao Wei first let Xiangxiang sit on the bed on the other side, and waited for Yan Lei to make their beds and bedding, then she took off Yan Xiang's shoes and put him on their bed.

Yan Xiang rolled over: "Dad, Dad! The berth is so fun!"

The attendant came to check the tickets.

Yan Lei stood up, holding the upper frame of the compartment door with his hand. Because it was too high, he had to lower his head and asked: "Comrade, are there many people in the berth?"

The tall and handsome officer asked, and the attendant's service attitude was particularly good: "Not many, only a few compartments are occupied today, and they are all empty."

It was not a festival, so there were not so many people taking the train.

Moreover, if some cadres on business trips have reached the level that allows them to buy sleeper berth tickets but only buy hard seats, the company will still reimburse them according to the sleeper berth standard. The difference in price will be borne by them.

Therefore, many cadres will buy hard seats on business trips.

This is the way of the times. Compared with their own comfort, it is more cost-effective to save some money for family use. Even cadres are like this.

After all, every family has a lot of children to support, and the characteristic of the times is that if one person in a large family is prosperous, he or she must support the whole family and cannot just take care of his or her own small family.

Yan Lei stared at the young girl and gently asked: "My wife and children are going on a long journey alone. If there are more people coming, please don't arrange them together. Try to let them have their own room, okay?"

Such a handsome man loves his wife and children so much, the girl's heart melted, and she agreed immediately: "Don't worry, we will take care of female comrades and children."

Yan Lei made another gentle request: "I want to give the child a sleeper ticket and a set of bedding."

The flight attendant girl said: "Sleeper berths cannot be added. I will give you a set of bedding." Only

cadres above the department level and military officers above the regiment level can buy sleeper berth tickets. But because there is no restriction on passengers, you can use other people's ID to buy it. The sleeper berth ticket that Captain Li bought for Lu Manman home was Yan Lei's ID. Sleeper berth tickets cannot be replenished casually.

But the conductor said that giving them a set of bedding would mean that they would occupy a berth for free without spending the money for the berth.

Yan Lei smiled very gently and praised her: "Comrade, you are really beautiful and kind-hearted. The railway units should have more young comrades like you who are energetic and responsible."

The girl blushed at the compliment: "You are flattered. This is what we should do, to serve the people."

The girl took him to replenish the bedding.

Yan Lei glanced at Qiao Wei and followed him.

Qiao Wei: "..."

Qiao Wei opened her eyes.

So there is no such thing as handsome men who don't know it and beautiful women who don't know it in the world!

Her old cadres usually don't even look at young girls. It's not that they don't have physiological instincts, but that they are highly self-disciplined!

Normally, he never flirts with girls, not because he doesn't have the skills, but because he doesn't need to do such "shameless" things.

Now, for the sake of his wife and son, what does face mean? It's just a matter of smiling and saying a few nice words to the girl. There is

nothing that Captain Yan can't do!

At this time, the train stopped for a long time, which was enough for Captain Yan to make a bed for the child.

Yan Xiang was so happy: "I have a bed too!"

Yan Lei gave Qiao Wei a lot of instructions and precautions before getting off the train.

He was still on the platform, staring at the inside from the window, like a stone statue waiting for his wife.

Qiao Wei had never seen Captain Yan like this before. She was so amused that she tried to hold back her laughter and said sternly, "I know. Don't worry. Go back, go back."

Yan Lei, of course, refused to leave. Before the train started, his last words to Qiao Wei were, "Remember, no one in the family can make you angry. Not even my mother."

Yan Lei grew up in the countryside after all, and had seen many mothers-in-law tormenting their daughters-in-law.

She was obviously a kind-hearted old lady who was nice to everyone. She was obviously the kindest person, a good person who couldn't bear to see others suffer a little, but she was as nasty as a ghost to her own daughter-in-law.

As a man, Yan Lei couldn't understand it, but he acknowledged the fact.

Qiao Wei went back this time to fulfill her filial duty for him.

No mother could make his daughter-in-law angry!

Captain Yan has gone through a lot of hardships to get to where he is today. He has never been a person who allows others to bully him, nor is he a wimp without a mind.

He leaned on the window and said to her, "You are not a coward who allows others to bully you. If you have something to argue about, just go ahead. It's all about right and wrong, not status."

Qiao Wei held his hand and could feel his strength.

"I'm not going to the execution ground, I'm going to your home." She smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid of fighting clubs. Don't worry."

Yan Lei held her hand again and again, and he let go of her hand when the car started, watching the green train go away.

"Mom, don't be afraid." Yan Xiang solemnly declared to Qiao Wei, "I will protect you when Dad is not around."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Okay."

The train accelerated rapidly.

It was time to eat, and Qiao Wei said, "Let's go to the dining car to eat."

Sister Yang's idea was to bring your own food when going out, which was similar to the idea of ​​bringing instant noodles when traveling in later generations. But Qiao Wei was a person who knew how to enjoy life. It was Yan Xiang's first time riding a train, so he should go and see the dining car.

Qiao Wei decided to save the pancakes that Sister Yang made for her for a midnight snack, and eat the main meal in the dining car first.

There was actually a special carriage on the train called a dining car. Yan Xiang: "Wow~"

The dining car on the train was almost like a state-owned hotel.

Qiao Wei and Yan Xiang had a delicious meal. As Qiao Wei thought, it was hard for children to fall asleep in this environment. The two kept talking, and they felt hungry again. They ate the meat cakes that Sister Yang had baked for them, and fell asleep after they were full.

The next day, Qiao Wei got up, packed herself and Yan Xiang, and the train arrived. After

a night's sleep, they got off the train in high spirits, standing out from the crowd of tired passengers who had been sitting on hard seats all night.

Secretary Yan Zhuang nudged the eldest brother of the Yan family with his elbow: "Is it her? Is it her?"

The secretary remembered that he had seen Lei Zi's wife before, and he felt that he was not so old that he could not remember her appearance, but he just couldn't confirm whether the female comrade with the child was Lei Zi's wife.

Yan Lei's eldest brother was called Yan Zhu.

Yan Zhu was as confused as the secretary.

Is this female comrade in a white shirt and green military pants, with bright eyes and spotless cleanliness, Lei Zi's wife who always had a gloomy face? I

always feel that she is a bit like her... but

she is not like her at all...

But everyone is astigmatized, and there is no other female comrade with a child alone.

At this moment, the female comrade suddenly saw them and actually walked straight towards them.

"Brother?" She greeted Yan Zhu with a smile, and then turned to the village secretary, "Second uncle, right? Do you remember me? I met you a few years ago. I am Yan Lei's lover Qiao Wei."

She extended her hand to the village secretary, nodded and smiled.

Her aura was like a leader who came to inspect the village.
