Chapter 14



Gao Chong simply couldn't believe what he saw.

He turned to look at Yin Xiaoman and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't our battalion commander say in the telegram that everything is ready?"

Yin Xiaoman pursed her lips and said, "If I don't take the things home, they will get spoiled."

But there can’t be so much. How can I take it? !

Gao Chong felt a headache.

He was trying to say something else, but the young man driving the mule cart touched his arm and said, "There are many relics left by my sister-in-law, parents and parents."

This sentence made Gao Chong completely speechless and look extremely embarrassed.

He cast an apologetic glance at Yin Xiaoman, and without saying a word, he and the young man carried the luggage one by one to the platform.

Yin Xiaoman followed them with her child, feeling a little surprised.

The one who brought them here today was the branch secretary's grandson. She had not had much contact with him and only knew that his name was Erwazi.

The young man was only about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was not a talkative person and hardly opened his mouth during the whole journey.

Yin Xiaoman didn't expect that he would help her explain at this time.

Although she didn't think it was necessary.

Erwazi and Gao Chong took several trips to move the luggage to the platform, and by then the train had already arrived.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yin Xiaoman.

Yin Xiaoman took out an oil-paper bag from the bag slung across her body, then took out a cornmeal ball that was still slightly steaming from it and stuffed it into Erwazi's hand.

"I steamed it this morning. It's still hot. I'll eat it to fill my stomach."

Erwazi's face flushed red, and he hurriedly refused: "No, sister-in-law, I came here after breakfast!"

Although people won’t starve to death these days, no one has much food. I just moved some luggage, how can I have the nerve to take over someone else's nest?

"You've eaten and you've taken it! Why, your sister-in-law hasn't left yet, so you don't listen to her instructions?"

Yin Xiaoman imitated the women in the village and spoke in a reproachful tone.

She didn't know if it was appropriate to say this, but she had no experience dealing with such a big boy.

I was even more unwilling to argue with him over a nest in public.

The second child was a little surprised.

He also knew Yin Xiaoman before, but his impression of her was that of a female student studying in the city.

Aloof and proud, with his eyes high.

I didn't expect that when I really got to know her, I found that she was not what I thought she was.

It actually made him feel a little familiar.

He was silent for a moment, then reached out to take the Wo Wo, and then smiled shyly at Yin Xiaoman: "Sister-in-law, when you and brother come back to visit, bring a message in advance, and I will come to pick you up!"

These words clearly showed some sincerity.

After getting on the train, Gao Chong took them to the soft sleeper compartment.

There are four berths in the box, upper and lower berths, with two berths on each side.

At this time, there were already two men sitting inside.

One of them was probably in his sixties, with gray hair and wearing glasses. He looked like a respected elder.

The other middle-aged man in his early thirties should be his follower.

Seeing them with their children and bags, the old man quickly sat inside and waved to Gao Chong: "Young man, there is space under our bed. You have a lot of luggage, so put some of it here."

Gao Chong thanked him gratefully and did not refuse. With the help of the middle-aged man, he finally put away the pile of large and small bags that he had brought up.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out an enamel pot from his schoolbag, picked up the thermos in the box, and said to Yin Xiaoman: "Sister-in-law, these two beds are ours. You clean up first, I'll go get some hot water."

After saying that, he walked out of the box.

Yin Xiaoman nodded.

In fact, I felt a bit devastated.

Before coming, Gao Chong had already told her about the situation on the train.

He even went out of his way to show off to her, saying how capable Shen Qingyun was to be able to get a soft sleeper ticket.

You should know that not everyone can buy a soft sleeper ticket, as there are level restrictions.

Speaking of this, Gao Chong's eyes were full of admiration and respect.

In his words, if it weren't for the blessing of him and his two daughters, he might never have the chance to ride in a soft sleeper in his life.

But when she got on the bus and entered the compartment, she realized that she would have to stay in this cramped and closed environment with a few completely unfamiliar men for two days and two nights, and even have to sleep in the same room...

Yin Xiaoman felt filled with despair.

This was something she had never thought of before.

But no matter how crazy her heart was, it didn't show on her face.

At least in the eyes of Ning Haocheng and Liu Chuang, she was just a quiet and introverted young rural wife.

Yin Xiaoman made the bed, helped Dabao and Erniu take off their shoes, and let them go to bed and play.

She took out the unfinished needlework, leaned against the corner of the bed, and began to sew quietly.

He didn't talk to the two people opposite him and treated them as nothing.

When these people came in just now, Liu Chuang originally thought they were family members of some important leader.

After all, those who can buy soft sleeper tickets are not ordinary people.

But after looking at it for a while, especially seeing the patched bag they brought in, Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

He glanced at the peasant woman who was busy working, and then looked at the two children who were obviously inexperienced and were jumping up and down excitedly. He felt that he must have been wrong before.

Thinking about having to stay with such a group of people for several days and possibly having to endure the noise of the little ones, he couldn't help but frown and decided to give them a warning first.

"Can you guys be quiet for a bit? You're making so much noise. Can't you see that someone is still reading here?"

He shouted impatiently at Dabao and the others.

The box suddenly became quiet.

Yin Xiaoman raised his head, and the two children who had just climbed onto the upper bunk fell silent at the same time.

Erniu shuddered with fear, leaned half of her body downward, pursed her lips in grievance, and shouted, "Mom."

Ning Haocheng, who was reading a book, obviously did not expect Liu Chuang to shout like this, and was also startled by him.

He glanced at them unhappily, then quickly put down the book in his hand and waved to the people opposite him: "It's okay, it's okay, it won't get in the way."

After saying that, he reached out and tried to hug Erniu: "Little girl, aren't you afraid? Grandpa will carry you down?"

"Need not."

Yin Xiaoman stood up and carried Erniu down from the upper bunk, and looked at Dabao at the same time: "Come down and do the questions first."

"oh."

Dabao took out the small notebook that his mother had sewn for him and his sister from his small bag, and then climbed down from the upper bunk.

He handed Erniu's notebook to her, spread out his own, sat down at the table that Yin Xiaoman had vacated for him, and started writing honestly.

Erniu also picked up the pencil obediently, sat next to her brother, and began to draw seriously on her notebook.

The box became quiet again.

Looking at the two kids opposite who were lying there writing and drawing so obediently because of their mother's words, Ning Haocheng leaned over curiously.

Then he saw that there were a lot of math problems listed in the boy's notebook, some of which even involved mixed operations of the four basic arithmetic operations.

But this little guy wrote fluently and didn't look stumped at all.

He was suddenly extremely surprised.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the young woman who was pushed into the corner.

He called her a young woman because he heard with his own ears the two children calling her mother, but one could not tell from her appearance.

According to Ning Haocheng, this woman might be even younger than his granddaughter.

How did she raise two such children?

He looked at the little girl's notebook again, and suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud.

The little kid, who was no more than three or two years old, was coloring a little duck drawn on a notebook with a red and blue pencil.

She painted the duck with red feathers and blue paws, making it look simple and full of childlike fun.

"Little girl, what are you drawing? Have you ever seen a red duck?" he asked with a smile.

After hearing what he said, Erniu stopped writing and stared at her painting. She obviously felt that what the grandfather said was right.

But she only had this one red and blue pencil, which her mother had specially asked Uncle Gao Chong to buy for her.

She couldn't help but pout: "Mom said, just like what you like."

"Yes, yes, as long as you like it!" Ning Haocheng was amused by her and laughed.

While laughing, he took out a box of twelve-color colored pencils from the briefcase next to the pillow and placed it next to Erniu.

"Little girl, use this to apply it, you will like it more when you apply it."

"Engineer Ning!"

When Liu Chuang saw Ning Haocheng taking out the box of colored pencils that he had gotten with great effort through asking someone to use his connections and giving it to a little girl who knew nothing about work so easily, he cried out in panic.

He reached out to take it, but was stopped by Ning Haocheng.

"I'm using it for the little girl, don't worry about it."

"But……"

Before they could continue arguing, Dabao, who was sitting next to them, reached out and pushed the pencil case to Ning Haocheng's hand.

"No." He answered quickly.

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Yin Xiaoman sideways, and after a long pause, he added, "Thank you."

After hearing what her brother said, Erniu's eyes lingered on the pencil case for a moment, but she still nodded heavily: "Well, Erniu, no need, thank you."

Looking at the interaction between the mother and her two children, Ning Haocheng said nothing, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He didn't touch the pencil case, but changed the subject.

He pointed at the notebook in front of Dabao and asked, "Who gave you this question? Do you know how to do it?"

When he heard him ask this, Dabao immediately puffed out his chest high, his eyes full of pride.

Erniu answered for him in perfect harmony: "My mother paid for everything. My brother knows how to do it. He can do it right!"

Someone in the box hissed, and Ning Haocheng and Liu Chuang couldn't help but look towards Yin Xiaoman.

It seemed as if he couldn't believe that this woman, who was dressed ordinary and had been silent since she came in, actually had such ability?

Yin Xiaoman frowned.

I didn't expect that the topic would eventually fall on me.

She clearly had no desire to talk to these two people.
