Chen Jianguo wanted to go to the platform to see his wife and children again, but as soon as he came out, before he even reached the window, he saw the train conductor coming over.
Having no other choice, he went to speak to the side. "Chief..."
Before two minutes had passed, the train started moving, and Chen Jianguo could only watch helplessly as the train conductor hurriedly boarded the train, thus missing his last chance to say goodbye to his family.
Finally, looking out the window, I saw a lovely pair of children, gradually disappearing into the distance.
"Mom, that was Dad just now!"
"Yes, I saw it too, and Dad even waved goodbye to me!" The little girl went back into the house and patted her hand.
Upon hearing this, Su Xia looked outside, but there was no one in sight.
"Xiaxia, has the eldest brother not left yet?" Chen's mother was also a little worried.
"It's alright, someone must have tripped him up," Su Xia said, indicating that there was no need to worry.
Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief and lay down. She was getting old and still couldn't handle the strain.
"Mom, go to sleep!"
"Okay, you can rest too. Just lock the door!"
Su Xia nodded, and seeing that Chen's mother had closed her eyes, she gestured for Bao Niu Niu on the upper bunk to be quiet, and then took the twins out.
Shh...
The two little girls knew they couldn't speak, so they went to see Da Bao's father first.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
"I'm taking them to the restroom. How's it going on your end?"
Da Bao shook his head. "It's nothing, Grandpa's already asleep!"
Su Xia nodded, and as soon as she came in, she heard snoring.
"You should go to sleep too, and remember to lock the door!"
"I know, Mom, you should rest for a while too!"
Su Xia, carrying the twins who had covered their mouths, went down the corridor to the restroom first.
"Mom, I'm not sleepy yet!" Xiao Bao wanted to play.
But how could Su Xia let him do as he pleased?
"If you're not sleepy, lie down. Don't talk or make a sound."
Xiao Bao pouted and looked at Su Xia again. Realizing that there was no way to change the situation, he chose to obey.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Little Niu Niu asked.
"To Beijing!"
"Is it fun over there?"
"It's fun! There are lots of fun places to visit, and delicious food too!"
"Really?" The little girl's eyes widened.
Su Xia nodded emphatically, and the twins immediately leaned over, "Mom, can you take us with you?"
"Yes...Mom, I've never been!"
"There's more delicious food, Mom, will you buy it for us?"
"Please... Mother, I love you the most...!"
The two little ones, wanting fun and delicious food, clung to Su Xia's legs and acted like spoiled children.
Su Xia chuckled, "What if you were obedient..."
"Mother, we'll definitely be good!"
"Yes, Mom, I'm going to sleep now!"
"Brother, wait for me, I'm going to sleep too!"
Su Xia raised an eyebrow. Two little brats, still can't handle it? They've lived two lifetimes in vain.
Back in the sleeper car, Su Xia handed the little girl to Niu Niu and let the two sisters sleep together.
I handed Xiaobao over to Gubao. The two of them aren't very tall, so they fit perfectly on one bed.
"Shh..." The little girl shushed her older sister, then closed her eyes to indicate that she was going to sleep.
Niu Niu blinked and looked across at the other side, and the same thing happened to Ge Bao.
The siblings finally realized that it must have been something their mother said that made their younger siblings so obedient.
I slept for a full two and a half hours, and when I woke up, the carriage was already dark.
"What time is it? It feels like I slept for ages," Chen's mother asked, puzzled.
"Grandma, it's already 6:30!"
"Hey, you've been sleeping for so long, aren't you hungry?" Chen's mother immediately got up.
Niu Niu and Bao Bao exchanged a glance; they were indeed a little hungry.
"Mom, we eat here: steamed buns, dumplings, eggs, and pickled vegetables."
After looking at it, Su Xia took the money and tickets and handed them to Da Bao, saying, "Go to the restaurant and buy some hot food!"
Mr. and Mrs. Chen remained silent throughout the entire process. They had agreed beforehand that they would listen to their eldest daughter-in-law's every word and do whatever she asked.
Eat whatever you're told!
They only had one request: they wanted to go to Anmen Square and take photos.
Su Xia agreed without hesitation, even if they didn't go, the children still had to go.
"sister in law...."
Unexpectedly, when the flight attendant turned around, Da Bao behind him shrugged; he had run into Da Bao on the way.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry. There are few people on this train right now, so it's very safe!"
"Excuse me, Xiao Liu!"
"It's okay, this is my job!" Xiao Liu chuckled.
Seeing this, Chen's mother casually picked up two dumplings and two eggs and stuffed them into his hands, saying, "Young man, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, let's eat together."
Xiao Liu was shocked and tried to push her away, but Chen's mother was stronger than him, and Xiao Liu was on the verge of tears.
Su Xia saw this and came to the rescue, saying, "Take it, it's hot, it'll spoil if you don't eat it soon!"
"Yes, young comrade, take it back and eat it!"
"Uncle, take these, we have plenty!"
"Yes, Uncle, we can't finish it all!"
...
In the end, Xiao Liu had no choice but to take two dumplings and two eggs back with him. His colleague's eyes lit up when he saw this.
"Where does 놅 come from?"
Xiao Liu said helplessly, "It's from the bureau chief's family!"
Several colleagues were shocked, then looked at him with sympathy, asking, "How's the bureau chief's wife?"
Xiao Liu put his things down, thought for a moment, and then decided to put away his own lunchbox and eat it later.
"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is a very nice person. I just ran into her eldest son, who happened to be buying food, and I helped deliver it back. The eggs were given to me by the bureau chief's wife!"
Upon hearing this, everyone else immediately gathered around, asking in unison, "Is the bureau chief's wife pretty?"
"Yes, I heard that 눃깊 has five children. Are they old and dark-skinned?"
"Where's the child? I heard the bureau chief's daughter graduated from high school?"
"The bureau chief's parents are from the village, aren't they very rude?"
...
Surrounded by others, Xiao Liu's lips twitched. Where did these people hear this from?
The bureau chief's wife looks much younger and prettier than his wife, okay? His wife is only 26 years old, has three children, and her figure is already...
Thinking of the director's wife's waistline and fair complexion, Xiao Liu sighed...
No wonder the bureau chief is so preoccupied with his family; he never brings his wife to work either. If he were in his position, he would hide her away too.
Unaware of the discussion about her that was taking place among the group, Su Xia was having dinner. Da Bao had bought a boxed lunch: rice, green beans, stir-fried with meat, and stir-fried eggplant.
Buy three portions. Su Xia gave one portion to Chen's parents, and the remaining two portions were for the twins. Whoever wanted to eat that portion could eat it.
"Mom, it's not as good as yours!" Gu Bao took a bite of the dish and said it wasn't tasty.
“Indeed, the food made in our hometown is still the best!” This was the first time Mr. Chen had mentioned it.
"Mom, I'd rather have dumplings!" Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu Niu took a bite of their boxed lunch and indicated that they would eat dumplings instead.
Su Xia sighed. It was all her fault for spoiling her. But here, all she could do was look at the kids. There was no interest in studying food.
Pour a little hot water into the dumplings, and they'll heat up in no time. There are two boxes in total, and Su Xia gives two small dumplings first.
Finally, place it in the middle. "It's hot, dumplings and rice dumplings, try to eat them all!"
"Hmm, I didn't expect it to be so hot on the train!" Mr. Chen said, his forehead covered in sweat from wearing a T-shirt.
"Bear with it, there's a draft if you open the window, what if you catch a cold!" Chen's mother was also hot, but if she opened the window, the old and the young would all get sick.
So everyone quickly finished their meal and immediately ran to the corridor to wait.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen decided to do some activities, as it was their first time taking a train and they wanted to explore the area.
"Grandpa, I'll stay with you!" Da Bao followed over, and Mr. and Mrs. Chen happily responded.
"Mommy, let's play here, okay?" Gu Bao pointed to the corridor, indicating that they would play in this carriage.
Su Xia nodded, then came out and sat on the bench in the corridor, watching the twins.
Although the sleeper car was safe, Su Xia still didn't let go, because at this time, human traffickers had no bottom line.
As for Da Bao, Su Xia's lips twitched. He had already grown to 182 cm tall, even taller than Chen Jianguo. Who would have thought that such a tall person was only in the first year of high school?
Niu Niu—Su Xia glanced at her and decided to keep her by her side.
