Qin Lei was very touched by their words, thinking that he should treat his wife better in the future.
Qin Yu waited for a while, seeing that his parents were still talking, he had to muster his courage and interrupt them.
“Mom and Dad, it’s getting late, we should enter the station, otherwise it might get crowded later.” Just as Qin Yu finished speaking, an announcement for the passengers heading to S Province to check their tickets came from the large loudspeaker.
“Child’s father, go home, we’re entering the station.” Nangong Shulan picked up the luggage from the ground and said to Qin Lei.
“Shulan, be careful, watch out for safety, keep an eye on your belongings so they don’t get stolen,
and also, Xiao Yu, don’t sleep too soundly, keep a close eye on your mom, okay?” With an air of worry, Qin Lei issued his reminders to Nangong Shulan, and then to Qin Yu.
“We understand, Dad, you should leave as soon as possible. Be careful on the road. We’re entering the station now.” The announcement sounded again, forcing Qin Yu to say this to his father.
“Alright, I understand, so you guys should go inside.
Don’t worry about home, I’ll look after it along with your grandparents, I’ll also take good care of Jiale.” Qin Lei reassured his wife, seeing the worried expression on her face, and reiterated that everything at home will be fine.
Perhaps this worry about leaving home is inevitable for everyone who ventures far from home,
“Ok, we understand. Take a car ride home, don’t walk.” After hurriedly saying this, Nangong Shulan was pulled into the station by Qin Yu, otherwise they would miss the departing train.
After checking their tickets and guiding his mother in, Qin Yu was shocked to see how packed the seating area was on the train. It was so crowded that he doubted whether there was room to set foot.
The sleeper berths, on the other hand, were relatively better, at least they weren’t crowded, and he was glad he didn’t decide to save money by buying seat tickets or standing tickets, otherwise it would have been truly dreadful. It is no wonder that there is such a stark difference between the two. At this time, there are more poor people who can’t afford food and clothing.
If there are no officials in the family, and if no one in the family goes to work in the south, life would be very difficult.
So most people are reluctant to spend extra money on sleeper tickets, which explains why Qin Yu could get a sleeper ticket.
“Mom, I’ll hold these, you go ahead, climb up slowly.” Qin Yu took the luggage from his mother and reminded her.
“Xiao Yu, let me help carry some, it’s alright, I can.” Nangong Shulan looked at her son’s heavy bags, heartache for him.
“No need, Mom, be careful.” Qin Yu did not let his mother carry any luggage, he hurriedly walked ahead with the luggage to avoid his mother trying to take over.
“This child.” Nangong Shulan shook her head and sighed as she watched her son who had walked on ahead.
When Qin Yu found their seats and was ready to go find his mother, he realized that his mother was already standing behind him.
“Mom, our seats are here, you sleep on the lower berth, I’ll sleep above.” Qin Yu thought about his aging mother, who would have a difficult time climbing up and down, and being young and agile, he didn’t mind.
“Alright, I understand, it is indeed very crowded, especially that carriage over there, filled to the brim.
Luckily we got the sleeper tickets, otherwise I wouldn’t even know how to get on.” Even though Nangong Shulan had lived in the countryside for two decades.
But some inherent qualities engraved in her bones couldn’t be easily changed.
Her demeanor prevented her from doing anything too audacious.
The most daring thing she had ever done in her life was getting pregnant before marriage, but she was fortunate to have a good husband and in-laws.
Otherwise, she may not have been able to survive.
After all, the restrictions twenty years ago were very strict and harsh, especially for women.
Thanks to the generosity of her husband and in-laws, no nasty rumors about her have ever circulated in the village until now.
Others might have their doubts, but as long as her husband and in-laws treated her with the same kindness as before, there wasn’t much the doubters could say..
