Chapter 211 Departure



Jiang Baige saw her aunt rummaging in her crotch, and then she took out a red cloth bag with a rope on it.

At that time, there were no wallets and it was not safe to put money in trouser pockets, so people would sew a pocket for themselves if they had money and then hang the money on their waistband.

Jiang Baige didn't expect that her money was in her crotch.

I laughed in my heart. No wonder some people say that money should not be put in your mouth. You don’t even know where they put the money.

My aunt's money was folded very neatly. There were one-cent, one-cent, fifty-cent, and one-yuan notes. They were all neatly arranged and flat. Even when she put them in her pocket, not a single corner was wrinkled.

Jiang Baige watched her count the money. It was three yuan and sixty cents. The aunt counted it twice but still didn't get it right.

When she handed it to Jiang Baige, there was an extra one inside.

Jiang Baige took out a penny and said, "Auntie, you gave me too much. I'll give it back to you."

In fact, a penny is nothing, but she saw that her aunt's money was not a large amount, and she didn't know how much she had saved to save this.

Seeing her return the penny to her, the aunt said happily, "Thank you so much! If it were someone else, they wouldn't give me the money back."

She excitedly took the penny, took out the money pocket from her waistband, and put the penny back safely.

Jiang Baige felt uncomfortable watching her do things too carefully.

She is a casual person who just puts things aside. If I were like her, I would rather die.

She said, "Aunt, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As she was about to leave, her aunt said, "Hey, little comrade, next time if you have eggs or something else, please bring it to me."

Jiang Baige thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Baige was delayed for more than half an hour, so she decided not to go around and went back to the train station.

When we returned to the train station, Grandma Meng was still sitting quietly in her seat. There was an old man and a child next to her, and they were talking.

Jiang Baige came back and called out, "Grandma Meng, I'm back."

Grandma Meng heard her voice and smiled.

"I heard the announcement saying it was ten o'clock. Should we get ready to leave?"

Jiang Baige responded: "Well, let's get ready to enter the station!"

The old lady who had just spoken to Grandma Meng looked at the girl in front of her and asked, "Is this girl your granddaughter?"

Grandma Meng nodded confidently: "Yes."

If you say that the current relationship between the two people is not like that, no one will believe it.

Jiang Baige smiled at the old lady and said, "We'll leave first."

The old lady also smiled at her and praised Grandma Meng next to her.

"Your granddaughter is beautiful and filial. You will enjoy happiness in the future."

Grandma Meng smiled at her and didn't answer her.

Patting her hand, he said, "Old sister, we are leaving now. You grandparents should also go slowly."

After Jiang Baige helped Grandma Meng leave, she looked back at the grandparents.

He asked suspiciously, "Grandma Meng, it seems like you two know each other."

As they walked, Grandma Meng said, "I don't know her. She's just a talkative old woman. She insisted on talking to me. She's been talking for quite a while now, and my mouth is dry."

Grandma Meng used to be very quiet and seldom talked to people, but when she met this old lady, she spoke the most words she had in recent years.

Jiang Baige didn't expect that she had this side of her. When someone told her that she also wanted to save face, she would still answer them.

There were quite a lot of people on this bus. Jiang Baige was carrying a suitcase in one hand and holding Grandma Meng with the other, and was pushed and shoved into the bus.

She wanted to get angry and ask them to stop pushing, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

The sleeper car they arrived in was empty. After Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng went in, they closed the door. It was very noisy outside, but once the door was closed, it became quiet.

Because this is a passing station, some people are taking the same bus, while others are waiting for the next bus.

The quilts in their car were in a mess, and it was obvious that someone had just slept there.

Jiang Baige tidied the bed and then said, "Grandma Meng, lie down for a while. I'll call you when it's time for lunch."

Grandma Meng is in a very good mood now, so happy that she is about to cry. This train is her first time riding, so how can she sleep?

She said, "If you want to sleep, go ahead! I'll sleep later."

Jiang Baige didn't care about her anymore and just told her not to go out and to call her when she needed to go to the toilet.

Then she lay on the bed. She didn't sleep well last night. The train was shaking and her eyes closed in a short while.

She didn't even know when the train started.

When Jiang Baige woke up, it was more than two hours later.

I glanced at the bed opposite and saw that Grandma Meng was still sleeping.

But someone else came into this carriage. On the upper level of Grandma Meng's bed, a man was lying on it, reading a book in his hand.

Jiang Baige also took out a book from her space. There were quite a lot of books in her space, but she had never had time to read them. She couldn't do anything on the train these two days, so reading could help her pass the time.

Fortunately, she didn't get carsick during this train ride, so she didn't react much when reading.

Seeing that Grandma Meng was still asleep, she put the book on the bed and went to boil some water with the thermos.

She didn't want to eat the porridge and steamed buns on the train. There were instant noodles, rice porridge, and hot pot in the space, and there were many brands. She couldn't sell them now, so she consumed them herself.

They were heading to the place where they could get some hot water. While she was taking a nap, the train was full of people, the aisle was full of luggage, and some people were even sitting on the luggage in the aisle.

When they saw someone passing by, they would move aside and not get up.

What she didn't expect was that someone actually put chickens and ducks in chicken cages and put them on the train.

Smelling the stench, Jiang Baige held her breath and quickly went to boil some water. If she could avoid coming to get water next time, she would.

When Jiang Baige came back, Grandma Meng had already woken up and was tidying her long braids.

Grandma Meng is blind, but her braids are very smooth, and apart from some white hair, there is not a single messy hair.

She looked carefully and found that Grandma Meng seemed younger.

After Jiang Baige placed the kettle under the bed, she asked curiously, "Grandma Meng, I see you're in a good mood. You seem a lot younger!"

"Is it because I have a son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, so I'm in a good mood?"

Grandma Meng tied up her two long braids with a silver hairpin, then smiled and said, "That's right! I also want to take care of my granddaughter with full energy. Maybe we'll have grandsons in the future."

Jiang Baige nodded. "You'd better hide your hair from now on. It's best to hold it up with a headscarf. Your little granddaughter's hands are very quick. She can pull out a lot of hair at once. Your hair is too small to withstand her pulling."

Several times when she held the baby, she grabbed the baby's hair and pulled it down.
