As soon as she went out, her second sister praised her again and again for her outfit.
It’s really because my second sister thinks that little girls should wear brighter clothes so that they look energetic. Wearing gray clothes all day long will make a little girl lose the spirit she should have.
She arrived quite early. There were many children picking up coal around the train station. They were all pale, thin and dark-skinned.
There were also many people on the platform waiting for the train to arrive, each with different purposes.
Song Tanglan just glanced at it and stopped looking around. She looked at the time on her watch. It was only 1:45. When she first came, she was too anxious and excited and forgot to eat lunch.
Now that she's dressed like this, she's been noticed. As soon as she leaves the platform, she might be in danger. After all, there are very few passers-by here.
After thinking about it, I decided to continue waiting and buy some buns to fill my stomach after picking up my younger brother.
But he couldn't let his stomach keep growling, so Song Tanglan covered it with his hands and opened a bottle of White Rabbit milk tea and stuffed it into his mouth.
He just stood there waiting, and at 2:30, Cheng Fangyuan walked to the train station with a backpack on his back. As soon as he came in, he saw the little girl leaning against the pillar.
I walked up to her and asked, "Little sister, why are you here so early? Have you had lunch?"
"No, I came here to wait after I finished shopping. I was afraid the train would be early. Brother-in-law, have you eaten? Are you done with your work? If not, you can go do your work and I'll just continue waiting."
"It's done. Luckily, I just bought some buns from the state-owned restaurant. Let's fill our stomachs first. The train should be here soon."
Cheng Fangyuan took out the buns wrapped in oil paper from his backpack and handed them to Song Tanglan, asking her to choose one to eat. He picked up a vegetable bun at random and started eating.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"Just stand here and don't run around. It's safer here with more people around. I'll go see if I can borrow two stools to sit on."
Cheng Fangyuan thought that the little girl had been standing for an hour or two, so she needed something to sit on.
Fortunately, he bought coal every year and had good relationships with the people at the train station. He found those people he knew and needless to say, he quickly borrowed two stools.
So the two of them just sat there waiting.
I sat there for nearly an hour before I heard the sound of a bell from the train station, which reminded people who were still standing on the tracks to leave quickly because the train was about to arrive.
Seeing that there was some chaos at this time, Cheng Fangyuan took two stools in one hand and a backpack in the other, and went to return the stools with the backpack on his back.
As for why he brought Song Tanglan's backpack, the main reason was that he was afraid of encountering a thief who might take advantage of the chaos to steal the backpack, which would be troublesome.
Song Tanglan had no objection to her second brother-in-law carrying the backpack, so she continued to stand there and wait. Twenty minutes after the bell rang, the people standing on the platform heard the rumbling sound of a train, and it seemed that the train was about to arrive at the station.
Because I didn't know which car my younger brother was in, I could only stand not far away and wait. When there were fewer people around, I would go over one by one to look for him.
As soon as the train stopped, many people got off the train. Song Tanglan looked at the people coming and going. Some were from other places for business, some were returning home, and some were visiting relatives and friends.
In this dense crowd, no one stopped on the platform. People in the north are generally tall. Song Tanglan suddenly felt that his clothes had no advantage and were now completely blocked.
She stood on tiptoe but didn't see anyone, so she had no choice but to continue standing there and wait for people to slowly leave.
Fortunately, as the number of people decreased, Cheng Fangyuan came back after returning the stool and took her to the front to look for the little brother. After walking through several carriages, she didn't see anyone. When she was wondering which carriage the little guy was sitting in, she heard a very happy shout.
"Fourth sister."
When Song Tanglan heard the familiar voice, she turned around and saw Song Tangzi. He had just gotten off the same carriage as them. After six months of not seeing him, he had obviously grown taller and was wearing new clothes because he was going out.
But they were surprised that he could run over briskly while carrying a package that was bigger than him.
