"Wanwan, what are you hesitating about? If you don't come over soon, the braised pork will get cold." Meng's mother called out.
As soon as she sat down, she saw layers of meat piled on the bowl of rice in front of her, and even the vegetable soup was served by Meng Mu and placed within her reach.
Wanwan didn't say anything, but she ate a little faster. She secretly made up her mind that she must be nice to them, she must.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Wanwan to go to the countryside.
During these two or three days, Meng's mother and father collected and prepared a lot of supplies for Wanwan.
There are two quilts weighing 8 kilograms each. Because Wanwan is going to Northeast China, where it is said to be very cold in winter, the couple has been going door to door in the staff quarters to exchange cotton tickets for the past two days.
Fortunately, they were working in the family compound and their work units were exchanged, so their colleagues all knew that their daughter was going to Northeast China and were willing to make things easier for them. If they didn't know, they wouldn't know what they were doing.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Wanwan’s adopted brother also wrote back. He originally wanted to send Wanwan to the countryside, but the organization had a temporary task, so he had to send Wanwan some supplies from their army.
They are close to the sea, so they sent back a lot of seafood, such as dried fish, dried kelp, etc. They did send quite a lot.
So this morning, Wanwan looked at the three large and four small pieces of luggage in front of her and felt that it was a sweet burden.
Mencius's father and mother may have felt that they had prepared too much for their daughter and that she might not be able to handle it.
They all felt that they had made a mistake. Wanwan saw them smile awkwardly, and one of them had already started to take the lead in carrying the luggage out.
I could only smile helplessly and shake my head. Alas, they are my parents, so I can only spoil them.
But the raised corners of her mouth at this moment somewhat revealed her mood at the moment.
After arriving at the train station, Meng's father took Wanwan to find his former comrade-in-arms.
His old comrade was the person in charge of the train station, but since the educated youth who went to the countryside had a designated compartment, he couldn't help with this. However, he could still help Wanwan eat better on the train.
These days, train conductors have pretty good benefits. They often travel around and get a lot of good things. Also, since train conductors don't have many holidays each year, they get subsidized.
Staff meals on the train are a great benefit.
Although Meng's mother did prepare a lot of food for Wanwan, no matter how good it was, it would get cold after a long time. It would be better to eat something hot.
"Yaotang, this is my daughter."
"Wanwan, call me uncle."
Father Meng said excitedly after seeing a middle-aged man in uniform with a neat appearance and a military spirit.
"Oh, this is my eldest niece, she has grown so big now."
"Yes, seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. Oh, thinking back to those days..."
Listening to Father Meng reminiscing about their glorious days, Wanwan looked at her watch.
Time was indeed running out, and Wanwan had no choice but to pull Meng's father's sleeve to indicate that time was almost up.
Only then did Father Meng stop reminiscing and talk to his old comrade about the real matter he had asked him for help with this time.
"That's too formal. We are just close friends. My eldest niece is coming to the area I am responsible for this time. I will definitely take good care of her." The comrade-in-arms uncle said generously.
As he was saying this, he asked a young man who looked like a secretary to go to the office to get meal coupons for the employees on the train.
He asked Wanwan to follow the boy for a while, saying that he would first help Wanwan learn the route and get familiar with the place.
There were many people from the surrounding area who came to send educated youth to the countryside, so the train station seemed crowded and lively.
By the time the young man brought the meal voucher, the train was about to depart.
Mr. and Mrs. Meng each took two pieces of luggage. Of the remaining three, the young man took two and left only the smallest one for Wanwan, which contained a small package of food and valuables.
After watching the young man put the big package on his back, the luggage pulled his neck, his face turned red in an instant, and he even felt like he couldn't breathe.
Wanwan hurried forward to catch the young man. It would be his fault if he injured him.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Wanwan of this era has been very strong since he was a child. When he first came, Wanwan couldn't control his strength, causing Meng Mu to damage a lot of furniture.
Honored by Meng Mu as a "prodigal son"
When Wanwan first learned the fact, she seemed unable to accept it. Anyone would feel devastated if they were transformed from a delicate girl into a strong Barbie doll.
But then Wanwan thought that this strength might be a good camouflage in the countryside, so she happily accepted it.
Seeing the embarrassed look on the man's face, Bei Wan quickly comforted him, "It's okay. My mom packed quite a lot for me. It's normal that you can't lift it all."
As Wanwan spoke, she lifted the luggage and placed it on her shoulder. She wanted to continue comforting the young man, but when she turned around, her face looked even more gloomy.
Seeing that the figures of Meng's father and mother were almost out of sight, Wanwan hurried to catch up with them.
When I got on the train, I was lucky enough to find a window seat.
You know, when Wanwan first came up, she was almost suffocated by the smell. There were all kinds of smells like stinky feet, food, and oily hair, all squeezed together. Well, I won’t say more. It will only make me cry.
After Meng's father and mother put the luggage in place, it was almost time, so Meng's mother hurriedly reminded Wanwan to send a telegram after arriving in the countryside, and to take all the luggage with her when getting off the car.
Something like that.
As she spoke, Meng Mu's voice began to choke up. This was the first time that his daughter had left him and traveled far away.
Alas, after this separation, I really don’t know when we will meet again.
Wanwan also felt bad, although they had only been there for a few days, but Meng's mother and father were just like modern parents, they really cared about him at the top of their hearts, and the feelings were mutual. After spending these few days together, he had put them in the same position as modern parents and grandfather.
All good things must come to an end. No matter how slowly time passes, it will eventually reach its end.
The train was about to depart, so Mr. and Mrs. Meng had to get off the train reluctantly.
Looking at the gradually shrinking figures of Meng's father and mother, he recalled the blessing brought by the change in Meng's mother's lips just now, "Be fine, you must be fine."
Wanwan felt that his eyes were indeed a little sore.
I closed my eyes and calmed down for a while.
Looking at the scenery gradually disappearing outside the window and listening to the noisy sounds around her ears, Wanwan felt that her mood had finally calmed down.
Soon, Wanwan felt that this kind of time was really boring. She felt sleepy and fell asleep.
