Su Jin frowned! He couldn't say for a long time whether he liked her or not, but Long Xiangling's appearance seemed to be imprinted in his mind and could never be shaken off! He had to admit that he had some thoughts about that girl.
"Guo'er, give me some time to think it over."
"Okay!" Lan Guoer saw that her elder brother was still interested in Long Xiangling, so she said nothing more.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. As for what to do with Xiangling, I'll ask you to take good care of her, big brother! She's all alone, so you have to help me pay more attention to her, brother."
Su Jin nodded in agreement.
After entrusting Long Xiangling to her elder brother's care, Lan Guoer no longer has anything to worry about!
She left a lot of medicine for Tang Zhan and Su Jin, and repeatedly reminded them to always carry the glass bottle with them! Only then did she and Su Yan set off on their journey home.
Lan Guoer sat by the car window, staring at Xiaoqing on her wrist in a daze.
Before leaving, Long Xiangling gave Xiaoqing to her as a farewell gift. The little girl seemed to feel the separation and looked outside with reluctance, tilting her head back.
......As the train heads north, the autumn air becomes more and more intense. Now is what people often call the golden October!
At this moment, Lan Guoer couldn't help but think, that important news that shocked everyone and changed the fate of countless people should be announced soon, right?
Counting the days, they have been out for more than ten days!
How's things going at home? Daddy must have told everyone that Tang Zhan is still alive, right? Are the children all right? Are they being well behaved? Are they crying for their mother again?
...The more she thought about it, the more she longed to return home! She couldn't wait to get back to her children.
But the return journey was not as quiet as the way there. With Su Jin's status, he could not buy a soft sleeper seat during this period.
At this time, she and Su Yan were sitting in a hard sleeper car, and the environment was much noisier than in a soft sleeper car.
She slept on the middle bunk and Su Yan slept on the lower bunk.
The person on the upper bunk was a middle-aged man. Since he got on the bus, he had been eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and the journey was relatively quiet.
It’s very lively on the other side!
An old lady and a woman in her thirties or forties, with three children under ten years old. Two of the girls were a little older, about eight or nine years old, and the boy was only five or six years old.
As soon as they got on the bus, the old ladies set their eyes on Su Yan's lower bunk, and repeatedly said that it was inconvenient for them, the elderly, women and children, to go out with their children, and they wanted to exchange their upper bunks for his lower bunk.
Su Yan had been on a lot of business trips since he started working, so it wasn't like he hadn't encountered something like this before! He had already figured out what the old lady was thinking!
"Excuse me, ma'am, it's not impossible for me to exchange with you! But the price of my lower berth ticket is much higher than the upper berth! How about this, you pay me the difference and I'll give you the exchange."
The old lady was stunned when she heard this! She had never expected that this young man, who was so young and well-dressed, would be so shameless as to argue with an old woman like her about this piece of money.
"Forget it!"
The old lady glared at Su Yan fiercely with the whites of her eyes!
What a joke! If she was willing to spend that much money, she would have just bought the lower berth when she bought the ticket. Why would she have to give others a discount after getting on the bus?
Although she had made a wrong calculation, the old lady did not think she was wrong! She turned around angrily and opened her voice to herself.
"Young people nowadays may look decent, but in reality...tsk tsk tsk tsk! They're really disgusting!"
Although the old lady didn't mention anyone by name, Lan Guoer and Su Yan were not stupid, so they naturally knew who she was scolding!
Seeing someone in the nearby carriage sticking their head out to eavesdrop, Lan Guoer deliberately asked loudly,
"Brother! When we bought our tickets yesterday, didn't the ticket office staff tell us that this is our departure station, there are plenty of tickets, and we can choose either the upper or lower berth?"
Su Yan immediately understood what Lan Guo'er meant and raised his voice, "That's right! I see there are still quite a few lower bunks vacant up front! It seems that many people have chosen the upper bunks to save money!"
"Adults who try to save money are called good people!" Lan Guoer nodded in response, "However, it's hard to understand why some people let their children suffer just to save a few dollars!
You said that those who can sit in the sleeper berth are of some status. No one would have planned it in advance and use the child as an excuse to take advantage of the lower berth, right?
"How could this be possible! This is a new society. How could a decent person do such a disgusting thing?"
As Su Yan spoke, he glanced vaguely towards the old lady.
The old lady was very experienced, so how could she not see what kind of double act they were performing? It was obvious that they were hinting at cursing her rotten asshole!
The people on both sides who leaned out to watch the excitement naturally understood the meaning of Lan Guoer and the others' words. They glanced at the old lady and the children intentionally or unintentionally, with contempt in their eyes.
The old lady was so angry that her face turned red! But she couldn't get angry!
But Lan Guoer and the others were well-reasoned and made her thoughts clear to her! If she continued to argue on this topic, it would only make her lose face!
The old lady had no choice but to swallow her anger. She glared at Lan Guoer and Su Jin fiercely, without saying another word, and suppressed the matter deep in her heart.
But this does not mean that the old lady will just keep quiet and not cause trouble elsewhere!
The team is different from home. Before getting on the train, Tang Zhan and Su Jin agreed that it would be better to let Lan Guoer and the others buy food directly on the train than to let them take it on the train from the cafeteria. At least they can eat something hot.
At lunch, Su Yan went to the dining car and bought a braised pork rice bowl. He also added a chicken drumstick to each of the two boxes of rice. It was red and greasy, and looked very appetizing.
The old ladies of this era have experienced war and survived three difficult years. They are all good at making a living, and the old lady opposite is no exception!
The old lady brought a lot of food with her, including fried cakes, pickles, eggs, mixed flour buns... She filled a big bag with it, but there was not much oil or water, let alone meat.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
The five or six-year-old boy couldn't take his eyes off the chicken legs and meat in Lan Guo'er and Su Yan's lunch boxes! He threw away the fried dough sticks in his hand and shook the old lady's arm, clamoring for meat.
The old lady frowned, picked up the oil cake on the ground, and glared at Lan Guoer and the others.
"He's already grown up, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself. He can even eat alone in front of his children! I really don't know how the elders in the family raised him!"
"Old lady, since you are saying this to me, don't blame me for refuting you!" Lan Guoer spent her own money and ate her own food, and she really didn't think she had done anything wrong!
"This food truck is open to the public. Anyone is eligible to buy and eat. How can I be considered the only one eating alone?"
