Chapter 276 70 The Educated Youth Heroine's Excellent Sister-in-law 61
It was not until we reached the town that the road became flatter, and then we walked southwest for about twenty minutes before we got on an asphalt road. This was built by the enemy during the War of Resistance Against Japan, as were the county's train station and railway. At that time, many villages had conscripted men.
After getting on the road, the car was basically not bumpy. However, Chen Lei was still a novice and did not dare to drive too fast. It took him nearly an hour to reach the county town.
He sent them directly to the train station and helped unload their belongings. Li Xingzhi gave him two yuan, which was for gas money. It was all agreed upon in advance. After all, it was the public property of the village and it was not good to use it for free.
Because of their status, they could not buy sleeper berths and could only buy hard seats.
Fortunately, not many people travel long distances by train at this time, so you don’t have to buy tickets in advance, you can buy them when you arrive at the station.
The hard seats on trains at that time were not like those in later generations, where the seats were soft. At that time, they were really hard. They were just wooden benches covered with leather or cloth, and they would hurt your buttocks after sitting for a while.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun had foresight and brought two thick quilts for Xiao Hanfei. Grandma Xiao said at the time that it was summer and it was getting hotter and hotter as they went south, so there was no need for cotton quilts. But now they came in handy.
Xiao Yun put a pad on one of the two seats facing each other and let the grandparents sit down. Then he also sat down with the child in his arms. Well, it was much more comfortable.
After putting down his luggage, Li Xingzhi lowered his head, smiled, gave her a thumbs up, and sat next to her.
At first, little Hanfei was quite excited. He twisted his big head here and there, looked around, and laughed from time to time.
Not only were the family members surprised to see this, but people in other seats were also surprised to see such a white and chubby boy.
Although the weather has been good in recent years and people have not been hungry, there are not many people who are really fat. In addition, due to the poor hygiene habits in the north, even children in the city are dark.
Don't think that children in the city are kept at home like those in later generations. They also run outside like crazy, crawling and rolling around outside, and look like little black coal balls. Even those who are still in the arms of children are dark and red because they are often taken out to bask in the sun.
It's rare to see someone as fair and rosy as Hanfei, who looks like a doll in a New Year picture. Everyone who sees him wants to tease him.
From time to time, he could hear compliments coming from the side or behind. As long as Xiao Hanfei looked over, someone would click their tongue to tease him. Xiao Hanfei would also give face and grin at anyone who teased him, even though he only had two tiny teeth.
The more he behaved like this, the more people praised him. The child seemed to understand and became more and more excited. He would laugh at anyone who praised him and even laugh out loud.
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao greeted everyone with pride, and soon they started chatting with the people around them.
It is said that people nowadays are much more honest and simple. Xiao Yun listened to several people talking about their family assets. If he met a liar, he would definitely be cheated.
Fortunately, her influence on my grandparents over the years has been very successful, especially my grandfather. He is very cautious when he is outside and only speaks half of what he wants to say to others. He is the only one who gets to ask questions of others.
Grandma Xiao is the same. She asks more questions to others, but all she says are words of praise for the children.
Xiao Yun felt the gazes from the side and looked towards Li Xingzhi. Seeing that this guy was smiling at her meaningfully, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him.
Li Xingzhi chuckled softly and reached out to take his fat son. His wife had been holding him all the way, so he could hold him in the car.
As a result, little Hanfei refused to cooperate at all. He struggled like a big fish and clung to his mother's clothes and refused to let go.
The boy was so strong that he almost tore Xiao Yun's clothes. She quickly hugged the child and said to Li Xingzhi: "Let me hold the child. You are hot and the child doesn't want to be close to you."
Even though little Han Fei sticks to his father when he is at home, that’s because it’s cool at home. It’s not like that on the train. There are many people and the space is small, so it’s very hot.
Xiao Yun was carrying a magic cooling device, otherwise he would be sweating all over. This little guy of his was very shrewd and knew who he felt comfortable around.
"It's not time for you to stick to me, little bastard."
Li Xingzhi let go and gently slapped his fat son's fat butt.
Little Hanfei glanced at him, turned around and buried his big head in Xiao Yun's arms, and even pretended to cry twice, which made everyone laugh.
"Your child doesn't look like he's only a few months old. He's so smart that people would believe him if he said he was born on his birthday."
Said a middle-aged man who was sitting in the same row as them, across the aisle.
This person is quite tall. When he sits, he is half a head taller than others. He has to keep his legs tilted, otherwise he would stretch them to the seat opposite.
When Xiao Hanfei heard someone talking about him, he immediately raised his head and looked at the person with his big round eyes, making the other person laugh.
Judging from the way he sat up straight and his bearing was extraordinary, he should be a retired soldier or an active-duty officer. I don't know why he didn't take the sleeper car.
"Hey, he understood what I said about him. This kid is incredible. We need to train him well in the future."
"My great-grandson is really smart. He already had eyesight when he was only one month old..." Grandpa Xiao loved to hear people praising his great-grandson, and he immediately started chatting with them.
The child really understood, because Xiao Yun had arranged for him to take pills as soon as he was born. No matter whether it was a body-building pill or an intelligence-enhancing pill, he took it immediately.
Of course, your own children must be smarter than others, and their physique and brain must be well-rounded. Even if they are not geniuses, they must be all-rounders in both literature and martial arts.
……
Although they became familiar with the people around them during the rest of the journey, they did not let their guard down. The four adults took turns sleeping, and there would always be one person left awake to keep an eye out, after all, there were still thieves and human traffickers.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, except for the increasingly overpowering smell in the car.
It was okay at first, just a slight smell of sweat, but it was summer after all, so that was normal.
But the smell became more and more mixed as we went on, especially with the living things we brought, such as chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and even piglets!
At night, some people took off their shoes. The smell of stinky feet, combined with the smell of feces and urine of those living creatures, was really terrible. By the next day, no one wanted to talk. It felt like the smell could enter your mouth as soon as you opened your mouth.
Xiao Yun regretted not getting a few masks in advance. She could block her sense of smell, but that couldn't happen to her grandparents, the child, and Li Xingzhi. In the end, little Hanfei's face was buried in her arms. She happened to have made a cloak for feeding with thin cotton cloth, and he hid in it afterwards.
Fortunately, the journey was not very long and we arrived in twenty hours.
It was around six in the morning when they arrived in Beijing. As soon as they got off the train, the four adults and one child couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although the smell wasn't much better, they were finally alive.
Xiao Yun almost laughed out loud when he saw his fat son's expressions were in sync with theirs.
