The train stopped and started frequently. I was so nervous during the two days on the train in early summer that I didn't dare to sleep too deeply at night.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the past two days. Most of the people who can ride in sleeper berths now are rich and well-connected. Relatively speaking, it is safer than hard seats.
Those thieves and kidnappers won't come here.
Except for getting hot water and going to the toilet, Chuxia and An'an stayed on the berth. She also took An'an with her when she came back. They were careful all the way and finally arrived at Ganzhou Railway Station.
Ganzhou Railway Station was the same as Liangzhou Railway Station. There were a lot of people getting off the train, and it was crowded. Chuxia was also squeezing in the crowd with Anan.
When she finally took An An out of the station, she found that her pocket was cut.
Luckily I had put a few dimes in change in it at the beginning of summer, so I didn't feel bad about it being stolen. However, there was a hole in the coat and the cotton in the jacket was turning inside out, so the clothes were ruined.
It was impossible to mend the clothes at the station. Chuxia was carrying the luggage in one hand and holding An An in the other. She couldn't cover the hole, so she could only be careful to make sure the cotton didn't fall out.
There were a lot of people outside the station. Chuxia looked up and saw people everywhere, and couldn't find anyone to pick them up.
She and An An called Cen Zhengnian before getting on the train. Cen Zhengnian told her to take An An out of the station and not to wander around, but to wait where they were, and someone would come to find them.
Chu Xia was watching when she suddenly heard a gentle yet a little excited male voice: "Chu Xia, An An!"
She immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cen Zhengnian walking quickly towards her and An An. Next to him was a woman in her fifties wearing a military uniform, who was looking at the two of them with surprise.
Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body finally relaxed, a smile appeared on her face, she lowered her head to look at An An, and whispered, "An An, the one in the military uniform is grandma."
The original owner had memories of Jiang Shengnan, although they were a little fuzzy because of the long time. But she came to pick them up with Cen Zhengnian, and her age matched, and she was wearing a military uniform, so there was no doubt that she was her mother-in-law.
Cen Huaian glanced at Jiang Shengnan, then quickly looked away, still staring at Cen Zhengnian. There was no expression on his face, but there was nervousness, happiness and a little shyness in his eyes.
As soon as Cen Zhengnian came over, he reached out and picked up Cen Huaian, his heart full of uncontrollable excitement. He touched Cen Huaian's head with his big hand and looked at Chuxia with smiling eyes.
"Did it go smoothly?"
Chu Xia: “It went smoothly.”
Except for the fact that my clothes were cut when I was leaving the station, the whole journey was smooth. I didn't encounter any kidnappers or any extreme passengers.
Cen Huaian lay in Cen Zhengnian's arms, wrapped his arms tightly around his neck, and whispered, "Dad."
In Cen Zhengnian's arms, Cen Huaian showed a small smile. The embrace and smell were still the familiar smell of his father, and his small body was buried in Cen Zhengnian's arms very dependently.
After several months of longing, I finally have a place to express myself.
Cen Zhengnian held An An in his arms, his eyes fixed on Chu Xia's face. He was very glad that he had insisted on taking leave to come to the station so that he could see his wife and children for the first time.
Jiang Shengnan looked at An An, then at Chu Xia, and the excitement in her eyes could not be concealed at all. She really wanted to reach out and hug An An.
