"You knew your mother was leaving? Why did you become such a crybaby?" Song Zhi wiped the tears from his face and gently scratched his nose.
"I'll take him back with me. It's not a good thing for him to keep crying."
"I'll go back with you. I'm worried about you taking him on the train alone." Song's mother's voice sounded beside them.
"No need, Mom. When I send them over later, I'll ask the management on the train to take care of them." Gu Huaijin also wanted Song's mother to have a rest. She had been busy since the birth of the child. If you count carefully, she didn't even have a day to rest. Sometimes she didn't let Song's mother work, and she did it secretly. In short, she was always busy. It was just right for her to take this time to have a good rest.
"How can that be? He'll also need me to take care of him after he passes away." Mother Song said anxiously after hearing this. She also didn't want to leave her grandson.
"It's okay. After we get to Kyoto, let my parents pick him up and let them take care of the child for a few days. Besides, Panpan hasn't been home for such a long time, they will definitely be happy to take care of the child."
What Gu Huaijin said made sense, and Song Zhi agreed, saying, "Yes, his grandparents haven't seen Panpan for such a long time. Let them take care of him when we go back this time. Mom, you can just stay home and rest assured! I'll be back soon after the exam."
Song's mother's expression was conflicted for a moment, but in the end, although she was worried, she still accepted the matter. "Be careful when you take the train. Keep your money on you, and your belongings are not a big deal. The most important thing is to take good care of Panpan." Song's mother began to nag and instruct about what to do after getting on the train.
Song Zhi smiled and nodded, listening patiently.
Panpan finally got into her mother's arms, and then sat in the stroller with her parents, excitedly calling out, "Mommy, Mommy."
"You are such a clever little thing! How did you know that mommy is going on a long trip today?" Song Zhi teased Panpan with a smile, but his expression was very gentle.
Gu Huaijin was concentrating on driving when he heard laughter coming from the opposite side. He turned his head and took a quick look, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
When they arrived at the train station, Song Zhi held Panpan in his arms while Gu Huaijin carried her luggage. She didn't have much luggage to begin with, and now she only had a small package in her hands.
Song Zhi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something important, "Oh no, I forgot to take Panpan's clothes."
Gu Huaijin's face froze, as if no one had thought of it at the time. Unlike Song Zhi's panic, Gu Huaijin arranged: "Get in the car first. When we get to Kyoto, go buy two changes of clothes. It's too late to go back now."
Song Zhi nodded. This was the only way now.
"I'm holding Panpan." Gu Huaijin saw that she was struggling to hold Panpan. Although Panpan was not very heavy now, she couldn't bear running around in her arms all the time.
Gu Huaijin took the child, holding Panpan in one hand and carrying the luggage in the other, looking very relaxed.
Song Zhi followed closely behind him. It was a small peak time at the station, and there were many people coming and going, so it was still very crowded.
After finding the bed, Song Zhixian cleaned it and covered it with the sheets he had brought.
"Put him up! It's nothing here, you should go back quickly!" Song Zhi looked at the time and saw that it was getting late. Gu Huaijin had something to do in the morning, so he urged him.
Gu Huaijin glanced at the surroundings, walked out, and about two minutes later came back with a conductor.
"This is my wife. She and the child are going to Kyoto for the exam. I'm worried about her taking the child alone. I hope you can take good care of them on the way."
Because he was an officer, the conductor paid special attention to the families of soldiers. After listening to his words, he followed him to Song Zhi and confirmed the location of the family members.
"Don't worry, we will definitely protect the safety of your family."
The two men saluted each other, and after the conductor left, Gu Huaijin filled the military kettle with water. He left only after everything was ready.
Panpan watched his father leave, waving his hands and shouting, "Ah...ah."
Seeing him so happy, Song Zhi asked with a smile: "Dad is not with us, he has to go to work to earn money for Panpan to spend."
The train was rumbling, and Panpan's eyelids closed quickly because he might have woken up too early in the morning and was too energetic.
Seeing that his breathing was gradually becoming steady, Song Zhi took out the clothes he had brought with him and covered him with them.
Although Song Zhi had never ridden a train alone, she had seen many videos of women and children being abducted in modern times. Such incidents were particularly prone to happening in crowded places like train stations and trains, especially since there were no surveillance cameras. If something happened, the chances of finding the perpetrators were slim. So, after Gu Huaijin left, her heart was like a taut string, not daring to relax.
Song Zhi thought that she would not be so unlucky. Although she had this lucky thought, she did not relax at all.
Then, in the middle of the night, a cry suddenly rang out in the carriage, "My child, my child!"
Then a young woman in her early 20s stumbled onto the sidewalk and checked the beds one by one, with a panic and helplessness on her face.
Song Zhi looked for a moment, then took her child to the train attendant's resting place. She didn't dare to take any risks at this time. Besides, the criminals were very brave. Even if they were discovered and hurt someone, it would be very dangerous for her, a woman with a child, to be in such a place.
After Song Zhi found the conductor, he first logically recounted what had just happened in their carriage, and then kindly reminded the conductor: "If the child cannot be found, the passengers will definitely not be able to get off the train at the stop. The criminal may follow the crowd to get off the train. In order to prevent the passengers from rebelling, we still need to deal with this matter as soon as possible and ensure that they can get off at their stop. So we need to quickly check each car as soon as possible, especially the restrooms."
