Chapter 332 The Grandfather and Grandson Met on the Train
After Grandma Li's incident was over, Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng packed up and prepared to take the children to Beijing to see their grandparents.
Because there were only two of them traveling this time, when Ruanruan was packing, she first packed the things the children needed, and then packed two sets of their own clothes. Each of them held a child and carried a bag.
On the day the two of them went out, Fu Mingyi drove to pick them up, and with him was Huo Yue. It was a busy time in the fields, and Li Huan was a little worried about being alone at home, so she asked Huo Yue to come back to keep her company and help her cook.
Seeing them carrying the child into the train, the old lady followed behind them and repeatedly warned them to pay attention to the child and be extremely careful on the train. Even though the train ride was short, they should not be careless. She also said that if anything happened between the child and Ruanruan, she would break Huo Haocheng's legs.
Huo Haocheng was already immune to the fact that the old man and the old lady were so obsessed with breaking his legs.
Just like before he came back, Fu Mingyi also sent them on the train before returning.
It only takes one day to travel from Shenyang to Beijing by train, so Huo Haocheng bought a ticket for 6 p.m. and had lunch at home before leaving.
They brought their children and bought sleeper tickets, all of which were lower berths. Not long after they boarded the train, two men, one old and one young, got on. The old man was wearing a washed-out Zhongshan suit, and the young man's clothes were patched. They were both thin and looked a little malnourished.
When they came in, they were also stunned to see Huo Haocheng and Ruanruan, and they were a little embarrassed. Seeing their appearance, Ruanruan held the child and sat on the bed next to Huo Haocheng. "Grandpa, you are also in this compartment, right? Come in and sit down. The train will leave soon."
"Oh, okay, thank you, little comrade." After hearing Ruanruan's words, the old man thanked him and patted the hand of his grandson who was holding his arm. Then the two of them walked into the carriage and sat on the bed where Ruanruan had sat before.
When they came in, Huo Haocheng also looked at them. After seeing his wife's actions, he didn't say anything and started packing his things.
"Wife, you look after the children. I'll go get some hot water." Huo Haocheng said as he went out with the bottle of water.
Seeing him leave, the young man relaxed a little.
Ruanruan just watched their actions but didn't say anything.
When the old man saw Huo Haocheng leave, he thought about how his family had finally used their connections to buy two sleeper tickets for them this time, both of which were upper berths. Now that they were used as the young comrade's bed, he felt a little embarrassed. "Young comrade, we were in a hurry to get out this time, so we could only buy the upper berth tickets. Now you can give me the lower berth. Calculate how much money is missing and I'll make it up to you."
Ruanruan didn't expect the old man to say that. She had encountered such situations before. The other party always looked as if it was a matter of course. Those who could buy tickets to travel were those who could afford those few dollars. Ruanruan felt that such people were too uncultured, but she had never commented on such people. But now looking at the old man in front of her, although he lived a tight life, he did not rely on his old age. It was only right for Ruanruan to give up his bed to him.
"Grandpa, that's not necessary. When you are away from home, you are bound to need help." It was just one night. It didn't matter whether it was the upper bunk or the lower bunk. It was still quite dangerous for the old man to climb up and down.
"It is because of the help of young comrades like you that we old men dare to come out and take a look. Otherwise, we would never dare to go out until we die."
The old man thought about how he had fled with his parents when he was a child, and had wandered around a lot. After settling down, he had never left the house again. Now he is old, and his children are filial. They know that his lifelong wish is to visit Tiananmen Square. With the help of the educated youth in the village, he finally bought two sleeper tickets. Now he is on the train, and he met a young comrade who gave up his bed for him. The stability of the motherland is more important than anything else!!!
"Grandpa, where are you going?" Hearing the old man's words, Ruanruan thought of her grandparents. When they came back this time, the villagers would gather around her and tell them about what was happening outside whenever they had time.
In fact, she had no time to take her grandmother and mother around Yuncheng in the past year. They just moved their hometown affairs to Yuncheng. However, after seeing her grandmother telling them about her life in Yuncheng with a proud look on her face, Ruanruan thought that when she returned to Yuncheng this time, she must find a chance to take her grandmother and mother around.
"I just want to see what Tiananmen Square looks like before I die!" The old man said it calmly, but the young man next to him didn't think so.
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense about life and death. If my parents find out, I will be beaten again." Over the past year, the old man often said such words in their ears. Sometimes he would hold his hand and say that his grandmother was coming to pick him up, and told them not to be sad after he left, because he was just going to find his old wife.
Ruanruan also expressed her understanding of the old man's words. Some people can sense that their end is approaching, so they tell their families in advance to let them get used to it. When that day really comes, they don't have to be so sad.
"Kid, I can't explain it clearly to you. Just remember what I told you and do it." The old man couldn't bear to see his grandson, a grown man, crying all day long.
Just when the grandfather and grandson were about to have an argument, Huo Haocheng came back with a load of water. Seeing that time was almost up, he went out to buy some food.
Seeing that they were about to eat, the grandfather and grandson didn't want to watch them, so the old man found an excuse, asked the young man to help him go to the toilet, and hid outside.
In response to the old man's actions, Huo Haocheng just looked at their backs and said, "Let's eat."
If the old man and the others stayed, Huo Haocheng would not mind sharing the food with them, but the old man went out by himself, which surprised Huo Haocheng.
"Don't think too much, just eat quickly. The children will wake up soon and you will have a lot to do." Ruanruan knew what Huo Haocheng was thinking. There were so many people who liked to take advantage, especially when traveling. Now seeing the old man's behavior, she was just not used to it for a while.
But Ruanruan thought that a child raised by such an old man would definitely not be a bad person. However, seeing how timid the young man was and from his words just now, she could also infer that the character of the young man's mother was not a cowardly one.
I don’t know which girl will marry into his family. Ruanruan wonders whether his daughter-in-law will marry him or his mother. I think life will be easier if she marries his mother.
Thinking this way, they finished their meal and fed the children, and did not come back until Huo Haocheng took the children's changed diapers to wash. There was no need to think, the young man must be afraid of Huo Haocheng, and waited outside for Huo Haocheng to go out before coming back.
But no matter which one it is, Ruanruan feels that it doesn’t matter. After all, it was just a chance meeting, and after getting off the bus, there would probably be no chance of meeting again.
