Chapter 151
The conductor at the railing subconsciously stopped her and said, "No."
"Comrade, the train has already left. You can't get in now. You can only wait for the next train."
The woman burst into tears. "I'm looking for someone. I really am. I'm going to see him. I'll be right back."
"Comrade, please."
The conductor was also embarrassed. "Comrade, it's not that I won't let you in. It's just that the rules say you can't go in after the train leaves."
"If you want to get in, buy a ticket, buy the fastest one, and go find the other person."
The woman refused to listen and continued crying. She tried to rush inside, but the conductor sternly rebuked her, saying, "If you go any further, I'll call security to arrest you."
"You are trespassing!"
The woman was startled when he said this and took several steps back. She looked at the locked door and the departing train, tears streaming down her face. "I'm going to the capital."
"I'm going to find someone."
"I'll get the tickets."
The salesperson looked at her, his brow furrowed so tightly that it looked like it could pinch a mosquito to death, and said, "Turn left and go in to buy your ticket."
"We are at the entrance to the station. Please don't stand here."
The woman cried as she watched the train disappear. Then she went to the ticket office to buy a ticket. She murmured, "Son, wait for me. Mom will definitely find you."

On the train, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun brought so many things that they almost filled up the entire berth they were staying in.
After finally stuffing it in, Jiang Meishu leaned back to rest, while Liang Qiurun went to get some hot water. The train ride from Harbin to the capital was a two-day and one-night journey, and she had such a large amount of savings certificates on her. As long as Liang Qiurun was not around, she almost didn't dare to close her eyes the entire time.
Because of fear.
Fortunately, Liang Qiurun was pretty good. When Jiang Meishu was resting, he kept an eye on the surroundings. When Jiang Meishu woke up, he took a nap.
In this way, we finally arrived at the Capital Railway Station.
Because it was almost the end of the year, the entire train station was packed. When Jiang Meishu came out, she simply couldn't put her feet down.
The place was completely packed, making it difficult for her to move forward. Fortunately, Liang Qiurun was in front, clearing a path for her. However, she was a little worried about Liang Qiurun's aversion to social interaction. She wondered what was happening to him.
Sure enough, after squeezing out of the crowd and finally reaching the outside of the station, she hurriedly took Liang Qiurun's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Liang Qiurun's face turned pale, and his Adam's apple rolled. "It's okay, I'm wearing something warm."
Everyone was dressed warmly in the winter, and he was no exception. However, when he was carrying his luggage, occasional contact was inevitable, but fortunately it was only for a moment.
Liang Qiurun took a deep breath and cheered himself up, "Let's move forward."
"Secretary Chen is meeting us outside."
Jiang Meishu nodded. She was not idle either. She was carrying two small luggages. It was because she bought so many things herself that she chose to finish the shopping even if she had to kneel down.
Fortunately, Secretary Chen was not far from them. As soon as they came out, Secretary Chen was waiting at the door, "Leader, Comrade Jiang."
He strode over very tactfully, first took the luggage from Jiang Meishushan, and then took a large piece of luggage from Liang Qiurun.
"Leader, the car is just ahead."
With his joining, Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief. It was not until they got in the car that they finally calmed down.
"Secretary Chen, it's a good thing you're here." Jiang Meishu sighed, "Lao Liang and I have been carrying and hugging each other all the way here."
Neither of them had a free hand.
Secretary Chen smiled and looked over in the rearview mirror. "So I should have come earlier."
Otherwise, how could he get to this position? He is really Liang Qiurun's eloquence.
He flattered several people with just one sentence.
After arriving at the Liang family, Secretary Chen came down to help move things. It was winter vacation and the end of the year, so Liang Rui and Liang Feng were also at home. When they heard the noise outside, they immediately ran out.
"Dad." Liang Rui's eyes lit up when he saw the car parked at the door. "You guys are back?"
His father was not at home before, and he was used to it, but this time Jiang Meishu left with his father, and Liang Rui felt that the house was empty.
Liang Qiurun hummed and said, "Come over and move the things."
"Your mother bought you a present."
After all, he was a teenager. Liang Rui jumped out like a monkey. Liang Feng stood there at a loss. This was the time for his uncle's family to reunite.
Liang Qiurun noticed it and looked over. "Liang Feng, why are you still standing there? Your aunt also bought you a gift. Come and get it."
Liang Feng's original inferiority complex disappeared instantly, and he smiled. "I'll be right there."
Liang's mother, who was inside the house, also heard the noise and came out. "I heard the magpie calling this morning. It turns out you are coming back."
After her divorce, she lived alone with her youngest son. She looked much better recently and didn't look as listless as before.
Jiang Meishu looked at her expression and felt relieved for a moment. She smiled and said, "Mom, come here quickly. I also bought you a gift. You will definitely like it."
Who doesn’t like gifts?
Liang's mother is no exception. Only the person involved knows how it feels to be remembered by others.
She walked down the steps and looked at the trunk that was almost full of things. Liang's mother's eyes smiled, but more of it was distressed. "Going such a long way, and carrying so many things, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk all the way."
This is what a mother is like. Although she is happy that her child is thinking of her, at the same time, she also feels sorry for the child because it is not easy for him to carry so many things on the road.
She didn't know why, but when Jiang Meishu heard this, her heart softened. She didn't understand why Liang's father didn't cherish such a good mother.
However, this was a fleeting thought, and she quickly put it behind her. "Although it's hard to get it on the road, I'm happy in my heart."
Jiang Meishu whispered, "Thinking of how happy you and Liang Rui were when they saw the gifts, I felt that all the hard work was worth it."
This is the truth.
From the moment she started preparing the gift, she could imagine the current result.
Liang Rui, who is usually very aloof, jumped out like a monkey with joy when he heard about the gift.
After all, no matter whether you are male or female, young or old, you will always be happy when you receive a gift.
After hearing this, Liang's mother raised her hand and touched Jiang Meishu's arm, "You are a thoughtful child."
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, "Get something."
There were five or six suitcases, each of which was stuffed to the brim with nothing to spare. The faces of the people carrying the things were all beaming with smiles.
After they all went in, Liang Qiurun was the last one to invite Secretary Chen to go in and rest for a while. But Secretary Chen shook his head and said, "Leader, your family is reunited, so I won't go."
Liang Qiurun thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a moment."
He went in and took out a hardcover notebook, also red, and handed it to him. "New Year, New Atmosphere."
Secretary Chen looked at the red hardcover notebook. He was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable feeling came over him. "Thank you."
It's like drinking hot water in the middle of winter.
Liang Qiurun waved his hand and said, "I'll have to trouble you to pick me up tomorrow. I have to go to work overtime in the morning."
This guy is really an overtime maniac. It's almost the end of the year, and he still wants to work overtime. Secretary Chen also understands his temper and nodded. "No problem."
After watching Secretary Chen leave, Liang Qiurun entered the house.
The main room was filled with things, and Liang Rui and Liang Feng were happily unpacking them. As they unpacked one item, Jiang Meishu introduced one, "Harbin red sausage, this is said to be a local specialty. I'll fry some tonight and try it."
"This is Harbin beer. Your dad didn't let me buy it originally, but I thought you and Liang Feng are almost adults now, so you might as well try the beer so you don't end up being clueless when asked about it at the dinner table in the future."
Liang Rui held the beer in his arms, feeling as if he had met a confidant. "Thank you, little mom."
The call of "stepmother" was so straightforward.
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "Also, don't be too happy too soon."
She rummaged through another bag. "This is a notebook for you and Liang Feng. It's in a red hardcover. I hope you get into a good high school next year."
It is a style unique to Harbin and is extremely fashionable, and would not be out of place even in the capital.
Liang Rui liked it at first sight and couldn't help nodding, "It looks good."
Liang Feng was in the same boat. He held onto the notebook tightly and said, "I asked at the department store before, and this kind of notebook costs three yuan. Auntie, how much did you pay for it?"
He thought it was too expensive at the time and was reluctant to buy it, but he didn't expect that after going around in circles, the notebook would return to his hands.
This gave Liang Feng a very strange feeling.
Jiang Meishu smiled, her brows softening. "It's a gift for you. You don't care how much it costs, as long as you can use it."
"I bought three, one each for you, Liang Rui, and Nan Fang."
Liang Qiurun also bought it, but they bought it separately.
Liang Feng hummed happily.
"Okay, your things have been divided up, and the rest are for the elders. Go and play." She waved her hand, but Liang Rui and Liang Feng refused to leave. They felt a sense of surprise as if they were opening gifts. Even if the things were not for them, it would be good to open their eyes.
Seeing that they were not leaving, Jiang Meishu did not chase them away. She opened another bag, which was for Liang's mother, and took out two bottles of skin care products, "Mom, this is yours."
"It is said that it is imported from Russia. It is very oily and suitable for us to use in winter. It is also antifreeze."
Mother Liang pinched the skin care products and was a little touched. "You are so thoughtful, child. You bought something like this from such a long distance."
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "Since we are going out, we must not go empty-handed."
"And one for my second sister-in-law."
"What are you giving me?" Shen Mingying heard Jiang Meishu and the others coming back from next door, so she came over to join in the fun. Jiang Meishu took the opportunity to hand over her skincare products, "This is a gift I brought you from Harbin."
Shen Mingying was a little surprised. "You too, you brought things with you after traveling so far."
Jiang Meishu interrupted her, "Do you like it?"
When Shen Mingying asked this question, she looked at the packaging and nodded subconsciously, "I like it."
"That's enough. It's worth buying."
Jiang Meishu said simply and clearly.
She sorted the remaining things into categories and packed them up. There was still a bunch of sausages left. She asked Shen Mingying, "Second sister-in-law, are you taking these sausages back home? Or are you coming here for dinner tonight?"
Shen Mingying glanced at the sausage and said, "I'm staying here for dinner tonight. If I take the sausage back, my sister-in-law will argue with me again. That's boring."
It’s better not to bring it.
Jiang Meishu, "Come over tonight. Call my second brother and the two children over. We'll have dinner together."
Shen Mingying naturally did not agree.
While they were watching TV, Jiang Meishu packed up the things she was going to take back to her parents' home, including a scarf for her sister, a woolen hat for her niece, and skin care products for her mother.
I don't have time today, I can only come to your house tomorrow.
In addition, there was a deposit slip, which was also the most precious thing in their family. She hid it alone at the bottom of the box and locked it.
As for the household expenses, there are only a few dozen dollars left, and Jiang Meishu doesn't plan to touch even a small amount of savings.
When she finished her work and came out, Comrade Wang also came over to cook. Jiang Meishu even asked Liang Qiurun to pick up Uncle Lin.
In the evening, the whole family gathered together and had dinner. Liang Qiurun wanted to send Uncle Lin home, but Jiang Meishu had her own ideas.
"Let Uncle Lin live at home."
"It's just the New Year coming up, and Uncle Lin's place is so quiet. Why not move in here and live with him? It'll be more lively. Besides..." She lowered her voice, "Mom lives here, and it would be nice if Uncle Lin could come and keep her company, right?"
Liang Qiurun frowned, "You mean?"
Jiang Meishu nodded, "I have this idea, but it depends on the elders whether they agree or not."
"Lao Liang, I think Mom's marriage to Dad is a mess. It's not an exaggeration to say that her marriage was miserable. If she could be with Uncle Lin, I think it would be great. Don't people say that it's rare to have a companion in old age?"
"It just so happens that Uncle Lin is a gentle man who can take care of others. More importantly, Uncle Lin cares about his mother."
Jiang Meishu sighed, "Since that's the case, Mom is divorced too, so give them a chance. If it doesn't work out, then forget it. But if it does, it's a good thing too."
All we can say is that she created this opportunity, but whether it succeeds or not depends on the elders.
Maybe gay men and lesbians have different ideas, which is something Liang Qiurun has never considered.
He considered it for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."
"Uncle Lin is leaving soon, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Meishu rolled her eyes at him. "Even if you don't want to think about this relationship anymore, you should still invite Uncle Lin to come home for the New Year."
Without waiting for Liang Qiurun's consent, Jiang Meishu took the initiative and called Uncle Lin, "Uncle Lin, you can rest at home tonight."
"I'll go to the tailor shop tomorrow during the day. It happens to be the Chinese New Year, so I might as well take a break."
When Uncle Lin heard this, he hesitated for a moment. He subconsciously looked at Liang's mother and saw that she did not refuse.
Didn't agree either.
He thought about it and shook his head. "Forget it. It's almost the end of the year and the tailor shop still has a lot of clothes to make. I'll go back to the tailor shop and work overtime."
He was satisfied just to be able to come to the Liang family from time to time.
"My mom's clothes haven't been made yet, and neither have mine, Lao Liang's, or Liang Rui's clothes, Uncle Lin." Jiang Meishu smiled gently, a bit coquettishly, "How about you stay at home for the next two days and make clothes for us?"
Appeal to their emotions and move them with reason.
Uncle Lin indeed hesitated.
"It's settled." Jiang Meishu made the decision immediately. "I'll ask Comrade Wang to clean up the room you were staying in before. If you're free tomorrow, we can go play mahjong together."
There was no room for Uncle Lin to refuse.
He took the initiative and got things settled.
Uncle Lin had been watching Mother Liang's expression. Seeing that she had neither objection nor rejection, he agreed and said, "Thank you for bothering me."
"Family members don't say disturbing words."
Jiang Meishu waved her hand nonchalantly, saying this to Liang's mother, who clapped her hands and said, "You're the only one who's obedient."
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm going to wash up. I have to go back to my mother's place tomorrow to do some work."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left.
This made Liang Qiurun and others laugh and cry. She was the one who took the job, and she was also the one who ran away.
The next day.
Jiang Meishu prepared everything early in the morning. Liang Qiurun knew she was going back to her parents' home, so she said, "I'm going to work too. I'll ask Secretary Chen to take you there."
Jiang Meishu sighed, "Then please help me carry that pot of beer." They bought a large pot of beer, and after returning, they divided it into small pots. This pot was the one they took back to her mother's house.
Liang Qiurun nodded and loaded a box of things into the car.
When they came out, Secretary Chen was already waiting outside. Because they were working overtime and Liang Qiurun wanted to send Jiang Meishu back to her parents' home, they changed the schedule. It was already past eight o'clock when they left.
This is very different from his previous workaholic image.
After arriving at Qudeng Hutong, Liang Qiurun carried the things and escorted Jiang Meishu into the Jiang family, which scared Wang Limei.
"You're back from Harbin? When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Jiang Meishu said cunningly, "Isn't this a greeting?"
Wang Limei slapped her, wanting to say that the house was a mess and that her son-in-law had seen it, but Jiang Meishu waved her hand nonchalantly, "Okay, okay, Lao Liang just sent me back, he still has to work overtime."
Without waiting for Wang Limei to speak, she waved her hand at Liang Qiurun and said, "Go to work now. You don't need to take care of this place anymore."
Liang Qiurun hummed and said goodbye to Wang Limei. Even after he was gone, Wang Limei was still a little dazed. "You are the same, kid. How can a son-in-law leave without even a sip of water?"
Jiang Meishu didn't care, "He's in a hurry to go to work."
"Where's my dad, and where's the South?"
Wang Limei's attention was diverted. "Your father hasn't finished his night shift yet. He'll be off soon. Nanfang went to the bathroom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Nanfang came in wearing a half-worn cotton jacket, holding a book in his hand. He read as he walked, not even looking at the road under his feet.
Jiang Meishu ran up to him, raised her hand and patted his shoulder, scaring him, "Still looking, you fell into the pit."
Jiang Nanfang raised his head, his eyes still unfocused, but when he saw Jiang Meishu, his eyes immediately lit up, "Sister, when did you come back?"
Jiang Meishu said, "Yesterday afternoon." She raised her hand and gestured at Jiang Nanfang's head. "You've grown taller, and your cotton-padded jacket has become too short."
Wang Limei immediately said, "Just add a sleeve and it will be wearable. Don't try to get him any more cloth coupons. If Director Liang finds out, he'll accuse you of giving money to your parents every day."
Jiang Meishu said subconsciously, "He won't say anything."
After thinking about it, he added, "Even if I make new clothes, he won't tell anyone."
"You are naive, but you really take it for granted. How many men would like their wives to support their parents every day?" Wang Limei began to lecture again.
Jiang Meishu didn't want to listen and covered her ears. "Look at the gift I brought you."
"Mom, this is your skin care product. This is red sausage. You can fry it and let the family taste it. This is beer. Dad and Nan Fang can try it."
She hesitated for a moment, took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to her mother, "New Year's money." In fact, compared with what she earned, it was not much, but there was nothing she could do. Her family was like that, and giving them a moderate amount of money was the most appropriate.
This amount of money is just over one month's salary for her father.
Wang Limei frowned, "I haven't used up the money you gave me before you went out last time."
She didn't want it and pushed the money back, "You keep it for yourself."
Jiang Meishu whispered, "I made a lot of money this time in Harbin. This is not a lot of money, please accept it."
"Just consider it an improvement in life." It's impossible for her to live a good life while her relatives on her mother's side are still eating coarse food.
Wang Limei wanted to ask how much he earned, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. However, after this incident, she did not refuse.
If a girl marries well, her family will also benefit.
That's it.
Their family was always in a state of flux, being looked after by the younger daughter, both financially and in daily life. Compared to the younger daughter's comfortable life, the older daughter's life was much more difficult.
Thinking of this, Wang Limei couldn't help but sigh and asked her in a low voice, "Have you gone to see your sister?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head.
"You can go and have a look. She seemed to have had a quarrel with Zhan Lie a few days ago."
Jiang Meishu stood up suddenly, "Did you say why?"
Wang Limei shook her head. "I asked her several times, but couldn't find out. Go ask her what the quarrel was about."
Jiang Meishu couldn't sit still after hearing this. She immediately took her scarf, woolen hat, and a string of sausages and turned to go to Shen's house.
Before I even reached the door, I heard an argument inside.
"Shen Zhanlie, get out of here!"
As she reached the door, an enamel pot was thrown at her and almost hit Jiang Meishu in the face. She dodged and looked inside the house.
Shen Zhanlie didn't expect Jiang Meishu to come. He was walking out when he bumped into Jiang Meishu.
He hesitated and called out, "Sister."
After this shout, the room became quiet.
Jiang Meishu glanced at him, asked nothing, and turned to go straight into the house. Jiang Meilan was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the child and crying, "What are you doing here?"
However, when Jiang Meilan saw that it was Jiang Meishu, she was stunned for a moment. She wiped her tears and was a little flustered. "Why are you here?"
Seems to want to hide.
Jiang Meishu sighed and looked towards the door. Shen Zhanlie had already left. She then strode over and lowered her voice, "Sister, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
