Chapter 336 Train meal
And Su Da Lin’s uncle and aunt were also present.
"His brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Now it comes to this, we won’t say anything. But once Da Lin and Xiao Mei go over, please take care of them. They are both honest and will not forget their roots in the future." Da Lin’s uncle greeted Father Zhou and Mother Zhou and turned to Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He.
"Uncle is being polite. With our relationship with Xiao Mei and Da Lin, it goes went out saying after so many years?" Lin Qing He responded with a smile: "The arrangements have been made over there Once they’re are there and work hard, they won’t do badly. As for the children’s school, I already gave some head-ups. Uncle and Aunt don’t have to worry."
She was going to greet after Zhou Xiao Mei.
"That’s good." Da Lin’s aunt nodded. Then she spoke to Mother Zhou: "These children will have to trouble you once you’re over. Please help them out. I heard that there are many cars over there. You can’t let the children go out and run on the street."
"Our husband and wife have nothing to do once we’re there. We can help mind the children and watch the shop. Rest assured, his aunt. If you have time in the future, you can go there to see the Heavenly Gate. Treat it as a vacation. The place is spacious. There are so many spaces to live." Mother Zhou courteously replied.
"Then, we’ll go and take a look when we have time." Da Lin’s aunt grinned.
After chatting for a while, it was almost time. They went over to wait for the bus. Third Brother Lin was already waiting for them at the station. He also had buns wrapped in oil paper in his arms.
"Sister!" Third Brother Lin greeted.
"Why did you come. I told you to go along with your business and no need to come over." Lin Qing He said at once.
"It’s no big deal. I can still make it when I leave in a bit. Sister, take these buns with you to eat on the way." Third Brother Lin passed the buns over.
Lin Qing He accepted it. Knowing that he was going to the countryside to gather fruits and vegetables, she urged: "Hurry along. We won’t keep you here."
"Alright. Wish you guys a smooth journey." Third Brother Lin was indeed busy, so he rode his bike away after speaking.
Lin Qing He gave the steamed buns to Mother Zhou and said, "Mother, take it. If the kids want to eat it, let them. Same for you. I will return the bicycle first."
The bicycle that was carrying luggage was taken from the space. Naturally, it had to be withdrawn into the space as the bicycle wasn’t allowed on the bus.
Thinking that she borrowed the bicycle from someone else, Mother Zhou didn’t say anything. She just told her to be quick as the bus was coming soon.
Lin Qing He went for a lap and walked back after putting it in the space. The bus arrived after she came back.
Su Da Lin and Zhou Qing Bai picked up the two large luggages.
It was mainly Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei’s belongings. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou didn’t have much, only spare clothes and the transistor radio. It was no problem for Father Zhou to carry one bundle by himself.
Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were truly beggars who have moved with too much luggage.
Everything needs to be brought. Quilts and so on. If not, then were a lot of expense when they reach the capital. Everything needed to be bought.
When one moves away from home, they must save when possible.
Although there were a lot of things, they got Su Da Lin and Zhou Qing Bai. It wasn’t too much for two big men.
Lin Qing He took a small rope and tied the three children to herself. She’ll watch them. As for the youngest baby girl, let Zhou Xiao Mei hold her.
When they finally got on the train, they sighed in relief.
Although they have to spend two days on the train, it was better than being on the bus. Not to mention the bumpy road, the smell of oily smoke was strong.
Lin Qing He was still strong. As for Mother Zhou, she went to lie down straight after getting on the train. She was motion sick on the road. It had tormented the elderly.
"Aunt, I’m already this big. You don’t need to tie a rope around me like this," Su Cheng uttered helplessly.
"I can untie it, but you can’t run around, understood?" Lin Qing He said.
"Understood. I won’t run around." Su Cheng nodded.
Whether traveling by bus or by train, these were both very novel experiences.
So Lin Qing He untied him. She also untied Su Xun and third daughter. After all, there were so many adults present and they don’t have to worry since they were on the train.
"Want some tomatoes?" Lin Qing He took the tomatoes out of her fabric bag.
"Sister-in-law, you also brought tomatoes. Pass me one." Zhou Xiao Mei exclaimed with lit-up eyes. Although she wasn’t accustomed to the ride, she didn’t lie down at once like her mother. Still, it was uncomfortable.
Having a sweet and sour tomato at this time was perfect.
Lin Qing He divided it among everyone. One each.
After eating, it was time to rest.
Lin Qing He looked at Zhou Qing Bai and said, "You lie down too."
"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded when he thought about how he’ll have do a night watch.
Lin Qing He wasn’t stingy. She bought soft sleepers ticket. By lying down, they can sleep better.
Su Da Lin was also tired and fell asleep.
Lin Qing He oversaw Su Cheng and Su Xun as they watch the scenery outside. As for the little girls, they all went to sleep.
"Aunt, are there many fun places in the capital?" Su Cheng asked.
"There are a lot of fun places. But you can’t play now. You still have to focus on studying. When you graduate from college like your eldest cousin brother, you can go play wherever you want then." Lin Qing He responded.
"En. I am second in the class!" Su Cheng said.
"That’s pretty good. Keep up the good work." Lin Qing He nodded.
Su Xun had also graduated from first grade and will be in the second grade this year.
Lin Qing He used Mandarin to communicate with them during the journey. As soon as the two brothers heard that Mandarin was spoken in the capital, they both learned from her. They took it serious.
Children were born with a gift for language learning. They copped on very well.
Once they were tired, she let them go to sleep.
Lin Qing He took out an English book to read. When it was almost time, she went to order food.
Third Brother Lin’s steamed buns were all eaten during the bus ride. The lunch boxes on the train didn’t taste very good, but they were better than nothing.
Lin Qing He’s space had a lot of food, whether it was candies, snacks, or various fruits. That time when she went to the south, she bought a lot of fruits from the south to store in the space. All were reserved for the winter to enjoy slowly with her Qing Bai.
The main like dumplings and buns in the space were also available. There were even several large bowls of braised pork with rice, which she got Zhou Qing Bai to prepare and save before departure.
Because neither of them were used to food on the train.
Actually, Zhou Qing Bai didn’t have so many problems. Lin Qing He did. It naturally went without saying he joined her.
But they were not only the only ones in the carriage. They can’t eat private meals, so they had the train’s meal together.
