Chapter 1074 The Heroine’s Vicious Adoptive Mother (13)
Xiao Shichu discussed it with Xiao Jie's team leader teacher and they really decided to go to South City together. After all, the teacher had to take care of three students and he was afraid that he couldn't take care of them all by himself.
It takes a day's train ride to get to the south city, and the train is still very chaotic at this time, with many people, thieves, human traffickers, and scammers. You have to be vigilant at all times to avoid being harmed. The teacher wished he had one more person to help him protect the children.
Once on the train, he was squeezed into a carriage with a large group of people. It was stuffy, hot, and smelled bad. Xiao Shichu regretted choosing to travel by train. Although flying was expensive, it was at least comfortable.
At this time, she missed the high-speed rail that appeared more than ten years later.
But she was the only one who looked listless. The three primary school students, including Teacher Wang, were very energetic after getting on the train. They looked around curiously. Even though they could not see the scenery outside the window, they found it interesting to look at the various people around them.
Xiao Jie was like a curious cat, staring at the attendants walking around in the carriage with his round eyes.
"Xiao Jie, do you want to eat something?" Xiao Shichu thought he was hungry, so he looked at the flight attendant who was pushing a small cart of snacks and asked.
Xiao Jie immediately shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't want to eat..." He paused, and then asked Xiao Shichu curiously, "Auntie, have you ever taken a train before?"
Xiao Shichu nodded: "I've sat here many times."
"That's great. It's my first time taking a train. I heard people say that trains go very fast, as fast as flying on the ground. Is that true?" Xiao Jie looked at Xiao Shichu with sparkling eyes.
"You are on the train now, so do you feel how fast it is?" Xiao Shichu asked him back.
He scratched his head and said, "The train was running so steadily that if I hadn't heard the whistle of the train from time to time, I wouldn't have realized it was running at all."
Although the five of them all bought seat tickets, none of them bought window tickets. The window was occupied by two adults, and Xiao Jie was small, so he couldn't see the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, so he said that.
Xiao Shichu paused and said, "After a few stops, when some people get off the train, I will help you move your seat to the window so that you can look out the window. Then you will know how fast the train is going."
Xiao Jie was immediately very happy: "Thank you Aunt Xiao!"
After waiting for a few stops, the person who had been sitting in the window seat got off as expected. When someone else came in, Xiao Shichu discussed with others and then moved Xiao Jie to the window seat. He was immediately mesmerized by the scenery outside the window. He pressed his head tightly against the window, his eyes glued to the glass, and he was extremely excited.
His other two classmates were also very interested and wanted to take turns sitting by the window with him. They begged him for a long time, but he only agreed to let them sit for ten minutes.
Maybe because it was his first time taking a train, Xiao Jie didn’t feel bored at all and had already arrived at the train terminal in South City.
"We're here so soon?" he said with a reluctant look as he got off the train.
Xiao Shichu held his hand with one hand and carried his luggage with the other, saying, "Don't overthink it. The train station in South City is very chaotic. There are even cases of children being snatched away. You have to hold my hand tightly and don't get lost. Do you understand? If you get lost, you'll never come back."
Only then did Xiao Jie become alert.
The teacher in charge also kept a close eye on the other two students and followed behind Xiao Shichu, not daring to relax at all.
Fortunately, after coming out of the train station, Xiao Shichu took them by taxi to the hotel that they had booked in advance by phone, and the journey was smooth.
"Teacher Wang, the rooms I booked are a family room and a double room. There are two beds in each room. Xiaojie will live in the family room with me, and you and your two classmates will live in the other room. Is that okay?" Xiao Shichu asked the teacher in charge.
"Okay, okay, you've thought of it very carefully. I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaojie." Teacher Wang said gratefully. The budget given by the school for this trip was not much, and he thought he would have to stay in a cheap hotel. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shichu directly covered Xiaojie's accommodation and helped him book a cheap double room. Of course he was grateful.
"You're too polite. I treat Xiao Jie as my nephew, so it's my duty to take care of him. We've been on the train all day today, and we're all tired. Let's go back to the room, wash up, then come out to have dinner and rest early." Xiao Shichu said.
"Okay, okay." Teacher Wang agreed repeatedly.
So Xiao Shichu took Xiao Jie to the family room. The family room was more private than a double room, so she was not worried that there would be anything wrong living with Xiao Jie, who was not related to her by blood.
"Xiao Jie, go take a shower quickly. Do you know how to use the bathroom?" Xiao Shichu asked Xiao Jie.
"I know." He answered obediently, then went in to take a shower.
Xiao Shichu began to pack her luggage. She didn't bring many clothes, but as a woman, skin care products, shoes, and jewelry are indispensable even when traveling on business. Although these things don't take up much space, they are messy and need to be sorted out.
An hour later, the five people left the hotel and found a cheap and good restaurant nearby to have dinner.
The next day, Teacher Wang took three students to participate in the competition, while Xiao Shichu went to the clothing factory he had contacted to select goods.
She was already familiar with the job and quickly selected the goods she liked, discussed the price with the boss, and signed the contract.
In the evening, Teacher Wang came back with three students. The three students who had participated in the competition were still discussing enthusiastically after the exam.
Although Xiao Shichu did not work in the computer industry in this life, she had computer skills from other worlds. These skills were universal. She was not unfamiliar with what the three students said, but she did not participate in the debate. After all, she had never been exposed to computers in this world.
Teacher Wang joined the discussion very excitedly. He was able to be the team leader because he taught computer science and naturally understood the content that the students would be tested on.
The four of them discussed intensely for more than half an hour before they gradually calmed down. As soon as they calmed down, the sound of rumbling stomachs began to sound, and a little classmate covered his stomach with his hands, blushing.
Xiao Shichu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You've taken exams all day today, which are very brain-intensive. You must have consumed a lot of energy. It's normal to be hungry quickly. Let's go out and find something to eat."
Since it was natural, I agreed without hesitation.
Probably because the competition was over, several students relaxed and suddenly became interested in South City. They looked at this bustling and prosperous southern city with curiosity and found everything new to them.
