Chapter 71: Mutual Understanding



"Don't bother. It's inconvenient for you to hold the child. Just sit down. I'll sleep over there!" Qin Man saw that she had a lot of things, so she stopped her.

He put his things in the bunk opposite, Jiang Cong stuffed the things under the bed, Qin Man carried her bag and spread out the quilt to cover her feet.

There was steam on the window, and there was a big temperature difference between inside and outside. Qin Man was lying on the bed, and Jiang Cong was sitting at the other end watching over her.

"Take off your shoes and put your feet in to warm them up!" Qin Man was afraid that his feet would get cold, so she reminded him warmly.

Jiang Cong was still wearing the pair of leather shoes that Qin Man bought for him, which cost twenty yuan.

To be honest, due to family conditions, there are few laborers in the family and many people are educated, so their family conditions have always been worse than others.

But fortunately, my hometown is in the south, surrounded by mountains and rivers, so I can at least have enough food to survive.

Therefore, Jiang Cong was never very good at treating himself since he was a child. He had never worn any expensive clothes or shoes until he had Qin Man, and then he wore the first pair of decent leather shoes in his life.

He cherishes his shoes very much and will carefully wipe off any dust on them.

But he still listened to Qin Man very much. Qin Man asked him to take off his shoes, so he took off his shoes and put his feet into the quilt. His feet were indeed very cold, but the quilt was very warm.

Qin Man gradually fell asleep until midnight, when the child in the bed opposite her suddenly burst into tears.

A few months old baby will just cry loudly if he feels uncomfortable, hungry or wet.

The mother coaxed the child for a long time, but it was of no avail. She had to feed the child and change diapers. At first, the people in the carriage could still tolerate it, but as the child made noises for a long time, some people started to get annoyed.

"Can you please stop your child from crying? How can anyone sleep at night?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who slept on the second floor, and his tone was full of impatience.

The mother was accused and could not hide her shame on her face. She could only apologize cautiously:

"I'm done teasing you. Sorry to bother you!"

"You can't even take care of a child. I don't know why your man married you!"

The man on the upper floor was even more aggressive.

Qin Man got angry when she heard this, and she couldn't help but refute it.

"I really don't know why you men are so petty. You attack people personally over such trivial matters!"

"Hey, who are you talking about?" The man immediately stuck his head out and looked at Qin Man in the lower shop and asked.

He narrowed his eyes and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

Before Qin Man could say anything else, Jiang Cong spoke first.

"Everyone has difficulties when they are away from home. We just need to tolerate and understand each other. There is no need to be so gloomy and talk about a mother who is traveling alone with her child!

A few months old baby doesn't understand reason and only cries when he feels uncomfortable. You have a child at home, right? Why can't you be more considerate of others?"

The man on the upper shop was speechless after hearing what Jiang Cong said. They were both men, but their values ​​were so different.

The woman with the child also looked at Qin Man and Jiang Cong with gratitude.

"Is the child feeling unwell?"

The girl who had taken the initiative to change the bed asked.

When the child's mother heard this, her eyes turned red and her voice became nasal.

"It seems to be a little hot, it must be frozen!"

"Don't worry, go ask the crew if there are any fever-reducing medicines for children in the carriage. It's freezing cold, and children's immunity is relatively low, so it's inevitable that they will get sick!

Ah Cong, please help find the flight attendant!"

Qin Man comforted her mother while speaking to Jiang Cong.

Jiang Cong was about to get up when he heard another woman's voice from next door.

The carriage is not completely enclosed. There is a corridor outside, and the loudest conversations in the adjacent private rooms can be heard.

"No need to look for it. I have some children's fever-reducing medicine here. Give it to the child!"

It turned out that there was also a woman with a child next door, but she was a family of three, and the child happened to be feeling unwell before getting on the bus, so she prepared cold and fever-reducing medicine in advance.

The woman's husband took the medicine, mixed it with hot water and fed it to the child.

The solution was sweet and the child didn't struggle much. He cried for a while and then gradually calmed down.

The child stopped making noise and the carriage became quiet. Everyone fell asleep one after another in the middle of the night. Only Jiang Cong did not sleep very soundly and kept watching over Qin Man.

Qin Man was heartless. When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

"Manman, are you hungry? I'll go to the dining car and buy you a box lunch!" As soon as Jiang Cong saw her wake up, he hurried to feed her, fearing that she was hungry.

Qin Man shook her head. As usual, she thought the food on the train was expensive and tasteless, so she didn't want to eat it.

"Let's eat after we get off the bus! I don't have much appetite right now!"

The train arrived at the station at ten o'clock, and everyone got off one after another carrying their things. The woman with the child had not arrived at the station yet. When Qin Man left, she specially thanked her.

"Thank you for last night, girl!"

She was referring to Qin Man's righteous words. Qin Man smiled and shook her head as she explained:

"We are both women! And I have children, so I can understand you. I'm leaving. I wish you a happy new year in advance!"

"Happy New Year and safe journey!" The mother also replied with a smile.

When they got out of the carriage, the cold wind blew. Jiang Cong took off his scarf and put it on her, then took her hand and walked out of the station.

After having a full meal at a nearby restaurant, I called Man Man You and went to the long-distance bus station to take a bus back to the county. A few hours later, I arrived at the county and caught the last bus back to the village.

On the way, it started snowing, and she did what she promised to Xiaoyu and Xiaoli.

After entering the village, there was a lot of mud on the road. After walking a few steps, my shoes were covered with mud. My eldest brother Jiang Cheng came to pick us up on time.

"Acong, sister-in-law!" He was waving from a distance.

It turned out that Jiang's mother was worried about him and the last bus had arrived, so she asked him to try his luck at the village entrance to see if the person had returned.

If he hadn't come back yet, he would probably come back tomorrow.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I guessed you were about to arrive, so I came to pick you up!" Jiang Cheng smiled and took most of the things.

"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard along the way. The children at home miss you!" Jiang Cheng did not forget to greet Qin Man.

"It's not hard. When I think about going home, it's not hard at all!"

"Let's go, the children are waiting for you at home!"

Sure enough, Xiaoyu and Xiaoli stood at the door eagerly for the whole day, but there was no sound from their parents.

"Brother, Mom said she and Dad would be back after it snowed, but it's already snowing, why haven't they come back yet?" Xiaoyu asked while covering her mouth.

Jiang Lian couldn't help laughing after listening to it.

These two kids are so cute!
