My grandma and her fourth uncle and aunt had traveled far away, so they knew how to use the toilets and sinks on the train. She was not surprised to see the red carpet in the soft sleeper compartment.

But grandpa and his children were different. The farthest place they had ever been was the county seat, and everything they saw felt strange.

In order to ensure safety, Gu Chao and Yuan Ni bought ten sleeper berth tickets at once, and six of them happened to occupy one block.

After getting on the train, everyone did not dare to make any mistakes. They arranged their luggage first, stuffed it under the bed, and then followed the flight attendant's instructions to exchange tickets.

After exchanging the tickets, grandma sat cross-legged on the bed and said, "I'll just sit here."

She wanted to help Nier look at things, even if the sky fell, she would not leave.

Grandpa smiled and said, "You have seen the world. If you want to sit down, sit down for a while. I have to go and see."

Grandpa said, and couldn't wait to drag his fourth uncle away. There was a high-end toilet on the train. The fourth uncle had boasted about it several times, and grandpa also wanted to experience it.

The flight attendant came over with a trolley full of snacks, drinks, and tea eggs.

I saw someone buying an orange-yellow soda in a plastic tube and drinking it with gusto, making both cats and dogs salivate.

Yuanni smiled and stopped the cart, "How much is the soda?"

"Forty cents a piece."

There is no difference in taste between soda in plastic tubes and soda sold in the county. The only difference is the packaging.

The ones sold in the county are in glass bottles, priced at [-] cents a bottle. After you finish drinking, you can get a [-] cent refund for the bottle.

What is sold on the train is simply packaged, and the price is more expensive after calculation.

But when children go out for the first time, they can’t be left watching.

Yuanni smiled and said, "Buy ten."

The flight attendant was very happy. He accepted a five-yuan ticket and brought ten soda drinks to Yuan Ni. He was not in a hurry to change the money, but enthusiastically introduced her.

"Use scissors to cut open the mouth, and you can drink. Be careful when cutting, don't scatter them. We also have fish skin peanuts here, two cents a pack, do you want them?"

Yuanni asked for a few more bags of fish skin peanuts.

The flight attendant quickly found the money and diligently helped the guy cut open the soda bottle.

The flight attendant who sells things is different from the regular flight attendant. He is a contract worker, so he has a very good attitude.

Mao Dan and Gou Dan immediately put their mouths together and took a deep sip, with exaggerated expressions, "It's so sweet."

"It's still a little numb."

The fourth aunt took a sip and gave her bottle to Mao Dan, "You two drink it separately. Isn't it the same flavor as ours? Ni'er, don't buy these things for them. It's such a waste."

Yuan Ni smiled and said, "If you want to drink, just buy it. I don't take the train every day. I don't know when I will go out next time."

The fourth uncle pulled the fourth aunt and said, "Don't talk about Ni'er. She has good intentions and wants the children to gain knowledge."

The fourth aunt smiled heartily, "Aren't I used to it?"

People are poor but have short ambitions, horses are thin and hairy, and they have little income in the countryside. Even if they work hard to serve the crops, it depends on whether God will reward them.

After a year of exhaustion, the calculated work points are just enough to fill my stomach. I don't dare to have any other extravagant expectations. People are so poor that they only know how to save money, save money, and save money again.

Growing up in such a poor environment, my fourth aunt was already considered a very promising person.

While everyone was chatting and joking, my grandpa had finished visiting the toilets. He felt refreshed and said, "The toilets on the train are easy to use and don't have any smell."

The two passengers next to me were trying their best to hold back their laughter, their faces almost twitching. Isn’t this smell bad?

People who have never taken a train only think that riding a train is endless fun. You can eat, drink, and drink everything on the train. The carriages run forward with a bang, which is very exciting. Even the smell of stinky feet is unique.

A few days of journey passed by in a blink of an eye.

When they got off the train, other passengers were dizzy and lacked food, but the Chen family was well fed and full of energy.

Mao Dan and Gou Dan also carried their small luggage, and then grabbed their fourth uncle's clothes and got off the train.

When leaving the station, a group of people from the Red Flag Brigade who had never seen the world were once again shocked by the flow of people.

Fortunately, Yuan Ni had already made arrangements and told the children to drag them one by one, so they were not scattered by the crowd.

Geng Chunlai and his men were waiting at the exit of the station. When he saw Yuan Ni, he waved fiercely, "This way, this way."

Considering that the Gu family's situation is relatively complicated, Yuan Ni discussed with Gu Chao before coming to Beijing not to disturb the Gu family first, and then visit the Gu family after the housework has been taken care of.

Gu Chao also agreed. His mother-in-law was Mo Ruozi. First of all, Mother Gu was very difficult to deal with.

Geng Chunlai brought a few tricycles, and everyone got on them separately and went straight to the Wu family yard where Yuanni bought it.

Walking along the bustling Chang'an Street, the Chen family's eyesight is exhausted. After settling in, they can also watch the national flag being raised and climb the Great Wall.

Geng Chunlai took a car with Yuanni and introduced the situation to her loudly.

After Yuan Ni left last time, Mrs. Geng added some furniture to the house and bought brand new pots and pans.

"She didn't expect so many people to come here. There are not enough beds prepared. You can make do with it first. If not, you can stay at my house." Geng Chunlai said.

"No, we have all brought our bedding. Let's make the floor first." Compared with the Geng family, Yuanni is closer to the Chen family.

Geng Chunlai didn't force it, "That's okay. Anyway, it's hot now. Many people can't sleep in the house, so they all sleep on the roof."

Air conditioners and fans are luxuries among luxuries and are simply not something that money can buy.

Ordinary people can only rely on cattail fans to survive the hot summer. Let alone on the roofs, people are often lying on the roadside.

Soon, the tricycle entered the alley, which connected the southeast and northwest. The Chen family quickly turned around. Everyone had only one feeling: the capital city is really big.

Old Mrs. Geng was waiting for Yuan Ni at the door.

When she left the capital last time, Yuan Ni handed the key to Mrs. Geng. Her original intention was to ask the old lady to help take care of the flowers and plants. Unexpectedly, the old lady also helped her buy furniture.

When the tricycle stopped, Geng Chunlai jumped out of the car neatly and went to help his grandfather, "This car is too uncomfortable. Your legs are numb, right? Come down and walk for a while."

Mrs. Geng quickly walked a few steps to help her grandma, "We meet again."

Geng Chunlai knew the importance, so after sending the tricycle away, he helped carry the luggage first.

Old Mrs. Geng instructed everyone to put their things, "This sandwich wall is empty. It is probably where the owner of the house hid his things. You have just arrived and are not familiar with the place. Put your things here first for safety."

They were all just messing around with old stuff. Old Mrs. Geng knew that with Yuanni’s eyesight, she must have something good in her hands, so she directly told her the location of the wall.

After placing their luggage, everyone fetched water from the well and went to wash it off before sitting down to talk.

"I've prepared all the meals, which are cold noodles mixed with shredded cucumbers. The old man knew you were coming and went to buy roast duck.

You have to eat that stuff while it's hot. When he comes back, we'll start dinner. "Old Mrs. Geng arranged everything perfectly.

Gu Chao looked at his watch, "You guys sit down for now, I'll call home."

When Gu Chao was about to leave, Mrs. Geng's face changed several times. There were some things she didn't want to say but she had to say, "Xiao Gu, wait a minute. To tell you the truth, something happened at home..."
