"We can help you carry your things so you can have an easier time." Another person came up. Most of these porters looked after each other, and sometimes they would form a team when there were a lot of goods to carry.
It is impossible for any industry to form an independent group, and the same is true for the porter industry.
Fang Guozhong said, "Really, no need. We can lift it. There are quite a few people behind us. Go and see if they need help."
"Okay, call me next time you need help!" The porters dispersed.
The purpose of leaving this sentence is to attract customers and develop potential customers.
The crowd dispersed, and the Yan family headed out of the train station. Yan Rushan had previously been stationed in Province C, and he'd been to the provincial capital regularly, so he was quite familiar with it. After exiting the station, with Yan Rushan's guidance, they found a relatively good hotel.
"Boss, do you have any single, double or triple rooms available?" During holidays, many people come out to travel, and there is a possibility that there are not enough rooms wherever they go.
The shop owner was a middle-aged woman, plump and with a greasy face. When she looked up, she saw a group of people dressed in good looks, handsome men and pretty women, and she stared at them with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there are three double rooms and two triple rooms. How many do you want?" The proprietress responded with a smile.
There is no shortage of strict control in this world. Zhong Yuxiu smiled when she saw this. "Two double rooms, one triple room, and one single room. Thank you, boss."
"Okay, okay. I'm so happy that you can stay here. Please sit over here for a while. One of you can register for accommodation and show your ID. If you don't have an ID, a household registration will do." No matter how much the boss liked these people's looks, he still had to follow the rules.
"I'll go, daughter-in-law, you take the child and sit over there with grandpa for a while." Yan Rushan spoke and handed the child to her.
Zhong Yuxiu took it and kissed her son on his chubby cheek. Suddenly, she smelled a sour smell, which was caused by not taking a bath for a long time. Then she remembered something she had overlooked before: they had not taken a bath for many days.
It's a hot day, and I'm squeezed in the train, and I haven't had time to shower yet; my body either smells faintly sour or sweaty, which is not a good smell anyway.
"Grandpa, come sit over here for a while. After we've registered and arranged a room, we'll go upstairs to take a shower and have a good sleep." Putting aside the embarrassment and shyness in her heart, Zhong Yuxiu pretended to speak frankly to the old man.
Yan Guofeng didn't seem to smell these strange smells, or perhaps he was so used to them that he took them for granted.
Come to think of it, the old man came from a military background, and the hardships he had endured and the scenes he had experienced along the way were beyond description in words.
"Sit down, don't stand. There are mountains here for you to rest when you need to."
"Let's go together." The old man smiled helplessly, but more of a happy smile, "You kid, why are you so particular? Sit down, sit down."
The two of them sat down on a bench in the corner of the hotel lobby. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi stayed where they were with their luggage; Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong followed them. Their mission was to protect Zhong Yuxiu. Whenever she went out, they would follow her.
Li Ji, Li Zhen and Li Ming arrived at a new place again. Their eyes were shining and they were too busy to take in everything. They were not picky about who was holding them. Their three pairs of big eyes were lively and smart, full of curiosity, confusion and innocence. The chubby little babies were especially adorable.
Yan Rushan pulled out the household registrations of the entire family from the bags carried by Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong, including those of the three children. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong's were identity documents, which weren't really identity documents, but work permits. As for Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi, they also had household registrations.
After collecting everyone's household registration and work permits, Yan Rushan went to the counter to apply for two double rooms, one triple room, and one single room. After getting the keys, the group went upstairs to settle down. The single room was for the old man, who could sleep with one of the children or alone.
The triple room was for Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong and Feng Zheng. Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu were worried about Feng Zheng living alone when they were away from home. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong had been working together since they came to protect Zhong Yuxiu. In order to make it convenient for the two of them and keep an eye on Feng Zheng, they opened a triple room for them.
There are two double rooms, one for Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu, and one for Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi; as for who the child will sleep with, we need to discuss it further.
After everyone settled down and packed their luggage, they took a shower, washed their hair and cleaned their whole bodies. Then they gathered in the single room where the old man lived. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi spoke first.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, Comrade Zhong, they are used to taking care of Liji, so let Liji sleep with us." People who are not used to taking care of children will not be able to sleep well all night.
The two of them have been taking care of children all year round, and they have taken care of at least eight children, if not ten; with these three now, the number exceeds ten. It is precisely because they know how hard it is to take care of children, and over time, in order to survive and live, they have developed strong self-regulation abilities.
Strong adaptability is a must for those in this line of work; if they can’t adapt, it will be difficult to do this job and they will find it painful.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at them with a smile and said, "We've been busy in the past, and you've worked hard. Starting today, let the children sleep with me and Yan Rushan. As parents, we can't really just walk away and ignore them. We should always spend more time with them when we have free time."
Is that what she thinks?
Yan Rushan stared at her, and saw the seriousness and determination on her pretty face, and his inner reluctance to collide with her wishes; when facing her, he always stepped back and compromised involuntarily, not wanting to see unhappy emotions on her face, and he didn't want to frown either.
Wang Daya was sensitive to Yan Rushan's abnormality, and then she saw that Zhong Yuxiu seemed unaware of it. For a moment, she didn't know whether to continue insisting or to go along with what Zhong Yuxiu said.
Gong Zhaodi was even less suited to socializing than Wang Daya, so she didn't know what to do.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong smiled and pulled Feng Zhengdao, "Master Yan, let's go back to our room and rest first."
"Go ahead, you've worked hard along the way." High concentration and excessive exertion can also be tiring.
"You're being too kind. This is what we should do. Well, you guys continue chatting while we go back to our rooms. Comrade Zhong, if he goes out, remember to call us. The last words are for Zhong Yuxiu."
Yan Guofeng nodded, "Yes, you can rest assured."
"See you later."
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong took Feng Zheng away, leaving the Yan family members and Wang Daya and the other person in the house.
Yan Guofeng also noticed Yan Rushan's abnormality, and precisely because he saw it, he couldn't say anything; it was right for his granddaughter-in-law to want to cultivate a relationship with his great-grandson, and it was also right for his eldest grandson not to want his great-grandson to interfere in the relationship between them.
There is not only right and wrong in this world.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were in a dilemma, but Yan Rushan finally gave in. "It's okay to let them sleep with us, but they don't cry or get up at night. They are still young and have to get up several times at night. You can't get a bad rest if they don't."
