"Please come in and sit down. We'll have lunch here later."
"Okay, Grandma, Grandpa, come and try on the clothes. I bought a coat in Beijing and brought some snacks for you."
"Okay, sure."
Zhang Xiaoya rushed to He Hua's house and saw He Ye at the door. "He Ye, has your sister come back?"
"Sister Xiaoya, no, did my sister say she was coming back?"
"No, it's nothing, you can go now."
Strange, Su Tian is back, but why aren't He Hua and Chen Gang back?
When He Ye entered the house, she immediately asked her mother, "Mom, did my sister say she's coming back?"
"You mean He Hua? Isn't she in the countryside? Why would she come back?"
"I don't know either. Sister Xiaoya just asked me."
"Could that wretched girl be coming back? That's impossible, the journey is too long."
"In my first year in the countryside, which village was so kind as to let the educated youth who had been sent there come back?"
Thinking of this, Mrs. He felt relieved.
By this time, Chen Gang and He Hua had boarded a crowded bus filled with various smells, a mixture of sour and foot odors that made people nauseous.
He Hua gripped Chen Gang's arm tightly, her brows furrowed. Chen Gang was very annoyed; he regretted not going back.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bus finally arrived at the station, and He Hua and Chen Gang hurriedly got off.
The two of them took deep breaths of fresh air, and He Hua finally couldn't help but vomit.
Chen Gang complained, "This journey was truly agonizing. I'll never take a bus at a time like this again."
After He Hua finished vomiting, she said softly, "It's always like this when I take the bus, no matter when."
"Let's hurry and buy train tickets, see if there are any left?"
"good."
The two ran quickly to the ticket window and managed to buy tickets in time.
When it was time to board the bus, He Hua couldn't help but shout, "Who pushed me? Don't push me, don't step on me!"
"Hurry up and squeeze on." Chen Gang grabbed He Hua's hand and pulled her up with all his might.
They finally managed to board the train, found their seats, and quickly sat down to catch their breath.
He Hua gasped for breath while touching her stomach. Thankfully, the baby hadn't been squeezed out.
It's not Chinese New Year, so why are so many people taking the train?
"Brother Chen Gang, I need to go to the restroom first."
"Go."
At this moment, an elderly woman standing by the aisle, carrying a snakeskin bag, saw a seat next to Chen Gang and immediately rushed over to sit down.
Chen Gang was stunned by the old lady's strange behavior and had to say, "Ma'am, this seat is taken."
"Young man, there's no one here. If there were someone, why am I sitting here?"
Young people, you should be honest. It's wrong for someone so young to lie to older people.
"No, ma'am, this seat is already taken. She went to the restroom. Aren't you just blatantly trying to take it?"
"Where did I hogging the seat? I only sat in one seat, what hogging the seat is that? Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young? You're supposed to be educated."
The old woman pretended to be dead, ignored Chen Gang, and closed her eyes to rest.
"you……"
Chen Gang was cursing in his heart, but he was too clumsy to argue back.
When He Hua returned, she found that her seat had been taken.
He immediately called out, "Hey, ma'am, this seat is mine, could you move it?"
"The old lady remained silent and pretended to be asleep the whole time."
He Hua shouted angrily, "You old bastard, this seat is mine, get up!"
As soon as He Hua finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the old woman's hand, trying to pull her up.
The old woman forcefully shook off He Hua's hand and slapped her own thigh.
She cried loudly, "They're bullying me! These two are specifically targeting old people! They're trying to take my seat!"
"You... you old hag, don't twist the truth. You're the one who took my seat."
Oh dear, everyone, please be the judge! This old man stole the pregnant woman's seat.
I'm one month pregnant, is it easy for me to take a bus? They even fight over seats reserved for pregnant women.
As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, Chen Gang's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Alright, He Hua, sit here with me and stop arguing with her."
"And you, where will you sit?"
"I can just stand."
"Hmph, you old codger, you're something else."
He Hua sat angrily in Chen Gang's seat, glaring fiercely at the old lady.
The old lady didn't care about any of that; once she sat down, no one could kick her out.
And so, the three of them remained in this state, ignoring each other.
Chen Gang and He Hua took turns sitting. When the old lady went to the toilet, she would put her snakeskin bag on the seat, and then sit back down after she finished.
On the third day at noon, the train finally arrived at the Guangzhou Railway Station.
"Brother Chen Gang, we've arrived, we've finally arrived."
He Hua looked at Chen Gang excitedly and shouted, "It's been half a year, and I'm finally back!"
"Okay, let's get off now."
Chen Gang was also very excited. He carried his luggage, pulled He Hua off the train, and followed the crowd out of the train station.
"Then how do we get back?"
"Let's take the bus, let's go wait for the bus."
"good."
"Brother Chen Gang, should I go back to your house or my own?"
"You go back to my place first, and I'll visit your home later."
An hour later, they got out of the car and walked together to Chen Gang's house.
"Hey, is no one home? Where did everyone go?"
"It's only three o'clock now, you must be at work. Let's go in first."
Chen Gang pushed open the door and went inside, just as his older brother Chen Jin came out of the house.
"Third brother, you're back too?"
"Yes, big brother."
"Isn't this your classmate? Why is she back at our house?"
"Oh, I married her, so I brought her along."
"What? You actually got married without telling Mom and Dad? What about Su Tian? Weren't you with Su Tian? How come you're with her now?"
"Oh, Su Tian and I broke up a long time ago, it has nothing to do with her."
Chen Jin felt like he had swallowed shit, choking on it and unable to get it out.
He was hoping that his third son could persuade Su Tian to ask her parents to find them another job.
But this time all hope was dashed. "Hmph, third brother, what good will marrying this thing do you?"
She was all dark-skinned and couldn't compare to Su Tian at all.
Hearing Chen Jin's words, He Hua's anger gradually rose.
However, she has no choice but to endure it now that she is under someone else's roof.
"Brother, stop talking. Anyway, He Hua and I are already married."
Besides, He Hua is pregnant, so please stop saying things that would upset her.
"What? She's pregnant?"
Chen Gang felt annoyed by his older brother's overreaction and quickly changed the subject, "Where's my second brother? Hasn't he come home from work yet? What time do Mom and Dad get off work?"
"Second brother, just like you, he's been sent to the countryside. Dad went to deliver manure, and Mom went to sweep the streets and hasn't come back yet."
"What? Delivering manure and sweeping the streets?"
