Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Goudan'er and his family also staged a "warm" farewell in the dim light of dawn.

"Goudan, you must take good care of Meimei and the others when you go out!" Although Tang Shaowen's grandmother had white hair, she was full of energy and did not forget to instruct her grandson before leaving.

After hearing this, Tang Shaowen pretended to be jealous and grumbled, "Grandma, in your heart, I am not important at all. Am I your grandson?"

Grandma Tang hit him lightly: "You little bastard, you don't know how to be grateful at all."

Tang Shaowen circled around his grandmother, dodging the beatings and begging for mercy: "I was wrong, grandma, I was wrong."

"Okay, Goudan, don't tire your grandma out!" Wang Fengqun took a step forward and grabbed Tang Shaowen.

Grandma Tang was a little tired of beating her grandson, and when she saw that her grandson didn't hide anymore, she sat on the doorstep and panted. Tang Shaowen knew that his grandmother didn't really want to hit him, so he squatted down and stretched his arms in front of his grandmother: "Grandma, if you are still angry, just keep beating me, as long as you don't get angry."

Grandma Tang panted and said earnestly, "Goudan, our family had a hard time before, but the Tang family helped us a lot. You are so good at studying, thanks to the teaching of Tang Mei and Wang Zhiqing. In the future, when you are outside, you must protect those girls, understand?"

Tang Shaowen nodded vigorously and patted his chest to assure. "I know, grandma! Don't worry, I'll listen to you. I was just joking with you just now, I know what I'm doing!"

"That's right, Mom! Goudan is so hardworking that he was admitted to a technical secondary school. He is much smarter than other children. He knows what he is doing. Don't worry too much!" Wang Fengqun comforted her mother-in-law softly. Over the years, all the big and small things in the family depended on her mother-in-law. Sometimes she was not thoughtful enough, but it was her mother-in-law who reminded her in time that made her realize the problem.

Grandma Tang glanced at her daughter-in-law out of the corner of her eye and secretly thanked her luck that her daughter-in-law didn't spoil the child.

When Wang Fengqun was looked at like this by her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and her hand unconsciously patted Tang Shaowen heavily on the back.

When Grandma Tang saw this, she smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly to show her approval. The whole family also laughed.

At this moment, Gao Xiang drove the team's tractor and slowly stopped at the door of Tang Mei's house. Tang Yongli was sitting at the back of the tractor. He had just returned from the team and saw everyone at the door, so he quickly and nimbly jumped off the tractor.

"Everyone, put your luggage in the back of the car and try to put it in as neatly as possible." Tang Yongli said as he took the small package from Grandma Tang's hand.

"Hahaha, auntie, your dog is really amazing!"

Grandma Tang smiled and patted Tang Yongli's hand and said, "It's all thanks to the third brother, otherwise my dog ​​wouldn't have achieved what he has today!"

Tang Yongli disagreed and said, "This has nothing to do with me. It was Goudan who studied hard and was able to pass the exam."

No matter which parents they are, they all like to hear others praise their children, and grandma and Wang Fengqun are no exception. When they heard Tang Yongli's praise, they immediately showed happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.

After a while, the luggage was quickly loaded into the truck bed. Then, Tang Mei, Tang Li, Wang Jiaojiao, Tang Shaowen, Tang Jianguo and others climbed onto the truck bed.

"My girls! Jiaojiao, Lili and Goudan, you must take good care of yourselves!" Liu Lin shouted loudly, her voice full of affection and a little choked.

At this time, Tang Kevin was forcibly pulled up from the bed by his mother. He was also affected by the atmosphere of parting: "Sister, remember to come back to see me early!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Lin tapped him lightly on the head.

"Don't talk nonsense. Your sisters are going to school. How can they come back to see you casually? They have to wait until the school is on winter and summer vacations before they can go home." Liu Lin corrected softly.

Tang Mei watched all this, and her eyes, which had originally seemed a little sad, suddenly brightened up.

"Goudan, take good care of yourself!" Wang Fengqun's loud voice came from afar.

"Lili, you must take care of yourself. And Meimei, take care of yourself too!" Yao Feng also waved goodbye reluctantly.

"You guys should go back quickly. It's dark now. Be careful not to bump into anything." Tang Mei shouted loudly.

The people behind the tractor kept waving their hands and jogging along with the tractor. The tractor was moving very fast, and once it turned a corner, the people behind it could no longer be seen.

These children have never left Jinshan Town alone, and they really don’t want to leave.

Wang Jiaojiao leaned on Tang Mei like a puddle of mud, sighing and saying, "It will be hard for me to eat the food cooked by my aunt in the future, but fortunately I have you guys, and we are still in the same school."

Tang Mei nodded: "It's okay, we will be back sooner or later."

Children's emotions change very quickly. Soon they were attracted by the new things they had never seen before. Everyone in the car began to imagine what the school would be like, the majors they would study, and the delicious food... There were more and more topics, and they became more and more exciting, all about future campus life.

Gao Xiang watched them get on the bus to the town bus station, then turned around and went back to the village.

Tang Mei and her group, carrying large and small bags of luggage, finally took a bus from the town to the county town, rested for a while in the county guesthouse, and spent the night. The next morning, just after dawn, they hurriedly caught the early bus to the provincial capital.

Whether it was the bus to the provincial capital or the bus we had taken before in the county, the situation was similar. Yesterday everyone was still full of novelty and excitement, but today, faced with the smell of live poultry and livestock brought by people in the car, the smell of burning coal, and the occasional vomiting, all kinds of unpleasant smells mixed together, these people were a little carsick.

Fortunately, Tang Mei had consulted Grandpa Zhang in the village before and learned that she could bring some dried orange peels to relieve motion sickness, so she bought some from him. Now they came in handy. She distributed the orange peels to everyone and asked everyone to put them in a military marching water bottle and soak them in water to drink.

After drinking the orange peel water, everyone felt a little better. Slowly, they also adapted to the state of being squeezed in the swaying carriage, and fell asleep one by one.

"Squeak!" As the harsh brake sound rang out, everyone in the car seemed to be pushed forward by an invisible big hand, and they all crashed into the hard wooden seat backs in front of them.

"Ouch! What's going on? Do you know how to drive?" A hot-tempered middle-aged man was the first to attack, standing up angrily and yelling. The other passengers also became agitated and started to blame the driver.

Facing the public's rebuke, the driver explained innocently: "It's not my fault! Someone suddenly rushed in front of the car, I couldn't just run over him!"

Although he felt somewhat unhappy, the conductor quickly opened the door.

At this time, a mother and daughter who looked incompatible walked up from the car. The older woman was the lady with smirking eyes that Tang Mei had met in the town last time; the younger girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a pink floral dress, carrying a large backpack on her shoulders, with a pretty and graceful face, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Tang Mei stared at the woman and felt like she looked familiar to her.

Wang Jiaojiao followed her gaze and saw the woman she had met in the town before. She turned her head and whispered to Tang Mei beside her: "Meimei, look, isn't that the woman we saw in the town a few days ago? Could this little girl be her daughter? But she doesn't look like her at all."

"Well, who knows? Besides, you look younger than her. How dare you call her a little girl? And don't keep staring at her endlessly." Tang Mei reminded.

As luck would have it, the seemingly unrelated mother and daughter happened to sit in the front seat of Tang Mei and Wang Jiaojiao. The journey to the provincial capital was long and far, and people got on and off the bus one after another, but fortunately the seat in front of Tang Mei was not vacant for too long.

After hearing what Tang Mei said, Wang Jiaojiao lowered her head and pretended to take a nap.

At this moment, the woman didn't even glance at the other passengers in the car. She just kept chattering and whispering to the girl next to her.

Occasionally, a few words drifted into Tang Mei's ears - "What's the point of a girl reading so many books? You might as well come with me." "Our place is so prosperous. Have you heard about the large oil field that was recently discovered near our hometown? It's so rich!" "Good girl, be obedient."

The girl kept shaking her head firmly to express her refusal.

Not long after, the car arrived at the provincial capital station.

Tang Mei didn't pay much attention to the two men, but helped her father and cousin move piles of heavy luggage out of the car.

"Wow! This is the provincial capital, and the train station is so big!" Tang Jianguo exclaimed in amazement, staring at the vehicles coming and going.

"It's really beautiful." Goudan, who was standing next to them, was also dazzled. All around were three or four-story buildings painted white, looking clean and tidy; and rows of vehicles were neatly parked in the spacious dam where they had just gotten off.

"Hurry up!" Tang Yongli had been to the provincial capital many times when he was young. Although there were some changes, he didn't think it was anything new. At this moment, his biggest concern was how to get the children to school with their luggage as soon as possible.

"Here we come!" A group of energetic young people carrying their luggage hurriedly chased after Tang Yongli.

Not long after leaving the station, they ran into the unrelated duo again. At this time, the two were fighting under a tree by the roadside.

At this moment, Tang Mei suddenly felt something was wrong. She carefully moved to Tang Yongli's ear and whispered, "Dad, I think that woman looks like a human trafficker."

Tang Yongli exclaimed in surprise, then realized that his voice was too loud. He quickly covered his mouth and whispered to his daughter, "Did you see it wrong? What if they are really mother and daughter?"

Tang Mei was not affected by her father's question, and continued in a thin voice: "A month and a half ago, that woman appeared in our town. She asked Jiaojiao and me how to get there. But now she is with a young girl who is alone. If you say there is no problem, I don't believe it."

Tang Yongli saw his daughter say this and knew that she must have an idea, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Dad, you and Goudan can take Sister Li and Jiaojiao to school safely, and help us register. After you have finished registering, come find us. Brother Jianguo and I will go after them." Tang Mei calmly stated her plan.
