It was inconvenient to talk on the train, especially since Gu Changsong, who was sitting opposite them, was very tactless and kept interrupting them from time to time. They both tacitly kept silent.
There was no other sound in the carriage except the passengers' snoring. Bai Ruozhen rested his head on Gu Changqing's legs and slowly fell asleep amid the rattling sound of the train.
When she woke up, it was still dark outside. She got up and looked at her watch in the dim light of the carriage. It was already past five o'clock. The train would arrive at half past six. Bai Ruozhen saw that Gu Changqing was still sleeping on the table, so she didn't wake him up. When she looked up, she saw that Wang Jun opposite her had also woken up.
The two smiled at each other without saying anything. Zhao Lai Di and the others had also woken up and were looking at the carriage with a confused look on their faces.
It was almost six o'clock when Gu Changqing and Gu Changsong woke up. They checked their luggage first, and then took turns washing their faces, brushing their teeth and going to the toilet. After everything was packed, the train slowly pulled into the station. The carriage was bustling with people. Gu Changqing was carrying luggage in both hands and couldn't hold Bai Ruozhen, so he told her to follow closely.
Zhao Lai Di smiled and said, "Gu Changqing, we are all here behind you. We can lose anyone but your wife. And don't forget, your wife is from the provincial capital."
"You're the only one who talks too much." Gu Changqing rolled his eyes at her. What would he do if his wife really got lost because she didn't know the way? Where could he find such a good wife?
The train stopped and people in the carriage filed out. Gu Changqing looked for Bai Ruozhen as soon as he got off the train. Bai Ruozhen had her eyes on Gu Changqing, and when she saw him looking for her, she ran over.
After Gu Changsong and others came over, the group walked out. The exit of the provincial capital's railway station was on the underground floor. Everyone went down the stairs and saw that the hall was crowded with people.
After walking a few steps with the crowd, Bai Ruozhen heard someone calling her, "Bai Ruozhen, here."
Bai Ruozhen looked up and looked around, then saw Li Qiulan and Bai Liqiang in the crowd.
"Mom, big brother." Bai Ruozhen grinned and pointed at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing was very happy. The fact that Li Qiulan came to pick them up with her son showed that the Bai family still valued Bai Ruozhen very much. Although he didn't want anything from the Bai family, it was good for his girlfriend if the Bai family was kind to him.
A group of people followed the crowd to the front. Bai Liqiang quickly helped to take the things from Gu Changqing's hand and said sweetly with a big white tooth grin, "Brother-in-law."
"Li Qiang has grown taller again." Gu Changqing praised casually and then called Li Qiulan "Auntie".
"Get out first, it's too crowded in here." Li Qiulan said, looking at Gu Changsong behind Gu Changqing, "Is this your third brother? Your children are so well-proportioned."
Gu Changsong and Wang Jun also quickly called her aunt.
Seeing that Wang Jun didn't look for his parents, Gu Changsong asked, "Are your parents and brothers not coming?"
Wang Jun's expression was somewhat gloomy. "They knew we were coming back the first time we came, but they didn't come to pick us up. They certainly won't come now." Outside, Wang Jun took a breath and said with a wry smile, "If you hadn't brought so much in betrothal gifts and so many other things, my parents would have been lucky to have treated you well."
Speaking of this, Gu Changsong recalled the first time he came to the Wang family. There were many children in the Wang family, with a total of seven brothers and sisters. In order to prevent the eldest son from going to the countryside, Wang Jun's father gave the seat to his eldest son, and Wang Jun's mother gave the seat to Wang Jun's second brother. Wang Jun was the third child and had no choice but to go to the countryside. Moreover, Wang Jun's fourth and fifth sisters also went to the countryside, and unfortunately, the places they were assigned to were poor and remote. They would call Wang Jun's parents from time to time to ask for money. Wang Jun's parents had lost their jobs, and the money was asked for by their two sons, and they had no extra money to give. Over time, the Wang family disappeared without a trace of the daughters who went to the countryside, and they even said don't come back.
If they hadn't had to meet their parents before getting married, Wang Jun probably wouldn't have come back.
"Sister Wang Jun, why don't you go to my house for a meal before going back?" Bai Ruozhen suggested this because she knew the situation of Wang Jun's family. Although their family conditions were not good, she at least had a salary now and could give some subsidies to her parents. She couldn't let Wang Jun and Gu Changsong go to Wang's house to eat leftovers.
Wang Jun hesitated for a moment, and Gu Changqing said, "Let's go. Let's go together and have dinner before going back."
"That's right, my home is nearby, let's eat first." Li Qiulan also said this, and then invited Zhao Lai Di and others.
Feng Qiujuan, Zhu Guixia, and Zhao Laidi all waved their hands, "No, we'll go back first."
After that, the three of them walked towards the bus stop. Wang Jun looked at Li Qiulan apologetically and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Li Qiulan waved her hand and smiled, "We're all family from now on, so why be polite? My daughter Zhenzhen doesn't know how to work, so I'd be happy if you could help me out more."
"Mom." Bai Ruozhen refused to give in. "I'm really awesome now."
Li Qiulan smiled and said, "Yes, you are really amazing now."
This made Wang Jun laugh as well, "Don't worry, Auntie, Zhenzhen is just like my sister."
"Let's go home first." Although Li Qiulan didn't know the situation of the Wang family, she knew that it must make sense for her daughter to invite them. Besides, the family was better off now than before. There were only five people to eat and the things Bai Ruozhen had brought with them. Life was much better this year.
The group took the bus back home. Li Jiansheng had also taken a special leave to come back home. He was wearing an apron and boiling water in the kitchen. Li Qiulan saw that he was about to start cooking and quickly sent him out, "Go have a drink and chat with your son-in-law and the others."
Bai Jiansheng took off his apron and went to pour water. Gu Changqing quickly grabbed it and said, "Uncle, please sit down. I'll pour the water."
Bai Jiansheng stopped him, "You are a guest, how can you let a guest do this?"
"Soon he won't be a guest anymore." Gu Changqing said shamelessly, "We have to let the new son-in-law show off."
