The next morning, driver Xiao Wang arrived, still driving the same seven-seater car.
The station is quite far from here and it took us nearly an hour and a half to get there.
After thanking him, several people entered the station.
Xia Ye came back after a while, carrying two large bags and a camouflage bag on his back. He was wearing a black down jacket. Maybe he was in a hurry on the way here, his hair was curled up.
After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "I'm not late, am I?"
"No, the car will arrive in a while." Lin Lu asked him to put down his luggage first and sit down to rest for a while.
Lin Jingbei patted his back and said slowly.
"That's good. I thought I woke up late. I was too excited last night and couldn't fall asleep. I only dozed off for two hours in the second half of the night and almost didn't hear the alarm."
Li Xianglian rubbed his hair and said, "Let him sleep in the car for a while. Poor kid, his eyes are all black."
Xia Ye smiled warmly and cheerfully, with stars in his eyes: "I'm so excited to think about going home and seeing grandma. I haven't told her yet. I'll give her a surprise when we're almost home."
Li Xianglian: "Old people don't like surprises. Tell her earlier, she can be happy for a few more days."
Xia Ye felt that what Grandma Li said made sense. "Okay, I'll call her when I get on the bus."
The weather is still as cold today. It snowed for several hours last night, and the snow piled up quite high on the roads and roofs.
The cold wind was even more sharp and biting, constantly blowing into the neck and trouser legs. Even indoors, one could not escape the attack of the cold air.
Hearing coughs one after another in the station, Song Chen asked everyone to be careful and cover their mouths and noses to avoid catching a cold.
Then he went to get some hot water for a few people to cover their hands.
The train whistle sounded and black smoke came out from the front of the train. After waiting for more than half an hour, the train finally arrived.
When buying the ticket, I specifically told the ticket agent that I wanted a ticket for staying together because I have elderly people and children to take care of.
Li Xianglian and Lin Changchun were in their sixties and were considered old people, while Lin Jingbei and Xia Ye were only in their teens and could be considered children, so they gave it to him.
It was as if the whole family had contracted a small sleeper car to themselves.
After getting in the car and putting down his luggage, Xia Ye called his neighbor's aunt's home.
"Aunt Xu, I'm Xiaoye. I'm on the train back home now. I want to talk to my grandma. Can you call her for me?"
"I'll go take a look."
Four or five minutes later, she came back.
Aunt Xu hesitated for a while before speaking, "Xiao Ye, I was just about to call you. It's great that you can come back to see grandma when you have time. She will definitely be happy to have you back. But she's not home right now. Your cousin came to take her back to live with him. He said he'll be back the day after tomorrow. I'll tell her when she comes back."
Xia Ye: "Okay, wait for her to come back, please call me again, this is my cell phone number, I can answer it anytime."
"Okay, our Xiaoye has made some money and has a cell phone. Don't worry, I'll call you back when she comes back."
After finishing the call, Xia Ye put the phone in his pocket, lowered his head and sighed for no reason, and trimmed the two hairs on his head again, making the child look dazed.
Lin Lu asked, "What happened? Grandma didn't answer the phone?"
Xia Ye grabbed the clothes on his chest: "I always feel uneasy, as if Aunt Xu is hiding something from me. Teacher Lin, do you think something happened to my grandma?"
Thinking of that possibility, Xia Ye felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible string.
Because of his life experiences since childhood, his mind is much more delicate than his peers, and he can notice some small details.
Lin Lu comforted her, "It's okay. If anything were to happen, Aunt Xu would have told you. After all, you're the only relative your grandma has left, right? Relax. She'll definitely be happy to know you're coming home to see her."
Xia Ye was forced to be optimistic: "Okay."
Lin Jingbei took out the laptop his master had given him and waved, "Xia Ye, there are games in my computer. Do you want to play?"
Xia Ye looked at the computer in his hand. He saw someone using it in the company a few days ago. He heard that it was very, very expensive and it was a newly released foreign product.
His grandmother once told him that if he couldn't afford something, he shouldn't borrow it from other people's homes.
Because you can't afford to pay for the damage, you may have to work for several years to pay off this momentary mistake.
Therefore, Xia Ye usually tries to get as far away from other people's valuables as possible when he sees them.
I’m afraid that it will suddenly break down in front of me, and I won’t be able to explain it even if I have a mouth.
Lin Lu noticed his hesitation and said soothingly, "It's okay. Go play with Xiaobei and kill some time. It's still a long time before we get home. You might need to use a computer for work in the future, so it's a good opportunity for Xiaobei to teach you."
Xia Ye pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lin, and thank you, Xiaobei."
Lin Jingbei patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit here."
The two children's beds were all on the upper bunk bed. Song Chen was worried that the two older boys would crush the bed, so he said, "You two can play downstairs first. There's a table downstairs. When you're tired of playing, you can go to bed and sleep."
Then he asked: "Xiao Ye, what do you want to eat later? I will buy you some food."
Xia Ye often lamented that it seemed as if all his good luck in life had been used to meet Lin Jingbei's family.
Lin Lu said, "Let's see what's available later and choose. The child doesn't know what to eat right now."
Song Chen: "If you're hungry later, remember to tell me."
Li Xianglian responded enthusiastically: "Okay."
Since the child has money, she will not do anything to mistreat herself. She should be generous and not embarrass the child in public.
"Xiaobei, you two come over here and play. I want to see how you play. It's so boring."
Lin Jingbei took out a game console from his bag and said, "Grandma, why don't you still want to play this?"
This is the latest model of game console that Gu Yun gave him. It looks very high-tech.
Li Xianglian didn't know how to turn it on, and looked at her eldest grandson blankly: "How do I play this?"
It was dark and silent.
Lin Jingbei gave the computer to Xia Ye and let him explore it for a while, then changed his seat and came over to teach Li Xianglian how to use it.
The child had quick hands and was very agile in operation. Li Xianglian was so busy looking at the little man on the screen that she didn't have time to see how Lin Jingbei's hands moved. When the game console came into her hands, she pressed the button heavily and the little man on the screen moved two steps. The next second, the little man on her side was killed, and the English letters "GAME OVER" appeared on the screen.
"Am I dead?"
The little man's expression was different from when his grandson was playing just now. It looked like he was vomiting blood.
Lin Jingbei: "Yes, dead."
