The two little ones were already obediently sitting on the lower bunk, munching on snacks.
"Xiaoxiao, come down and eat."
She wanted to go to the restroom.
"I’m going to the washroom."
But there was a queue for the toilet, so she had no choice but to line up. After entering, the smell made her nauseous, but she couldn’t hold it forever.
When she came out, it took her a while to recover.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Yun Xiaoxiao waved her hands, "I’m fine."
Instead, Zhao Tianlei suddenly thought of something. The toilet was very stinky.
He remembered that after his wife married him, the first time she used the toilet at the old house, she washed her hands for a long time afterward.
"Have some instant milk powder."
"I don’t want it, I’ll have a piece of candy."
Zhao Tianlei immediately found some candy and handed a piece to his wife.
He also caught the eye of a teenager sitting opposite.
The two little ones thought Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t feeling well and crowded around, expressing their concern.
It was just a lack of rest, coupled with the nausea, that made her feel a bit unwell.
For lunch, Zhao Tianlei bought food on the train, but Yun Xiaoxiao still didn’t have much of an appetite. She ate half of a box of food and gave the rest to Zhao Tianlei.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao ate a meal together and also drank some prepared milk powder.
In the mid-afternoon, when they reached a major station, a grandmother and grandson pair took the lower bunk opposite them. The little one was about the same age as Xiao Bao.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao open a can of fruit for Da Bao and Xiao Bao, the little one clamored for his grandma to get him some too, insisting on it.
"Comrade, my grandson wants to eat canned fruit, could we trade for a bit?"
Your grandson wants to eat canned fruit, why are you asking me?
Trade, why don’t you take something out to trade then?
Trying to get something for nothing?
"My kids want to eat it, how about, I give your grandson a piece of candy?" Yun Xiaoxiao took out a lollipop and offered it to them, recognizing the serendipity of their meeting and the commonality of having children.
"I want..." The little boy saw the lollipop and stared at it without blinking.
"Hurry up and thank this auntie..."
The little boy, though slightly mischievous, was pleased at the prospect of candy and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
One lollipop quickly made the child come over and play with Da Bao and Xiao Bao. Even though they all spoke with different regional accents, the children seemed to communicate with no problems at all.
On the other side, as soon as Second Brother Yun finished work, he hurried over to the Yun Family’s house.
And there, he actually saw Eldest Sister-in-law Yun.
"Oh, Eldest Sister-in-law, are you visiting the parents empty-handed?"
Second Brother Yun purposely flaunted the food container he was carrying in a net bag.
This younger brother-in-law had been sarcastic towards her ever since they divided the household.
"Eldest Sister-in-law wouldn’t be coming over just to take advantage of us, right? After all, my elder brother is extremely filial."
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun dared not say her husband was unfilial.
Otherwise, if it reached her husband’s superiors, there’d be no chance for him when it came time for promotions.
"I just came to see how Mom and Dad are. Now that you’re here, I’ll head back." Eldest Sister-in-law Yun had actually come to inquire about Cloth Tickets from Mother Yun, but her mother-in-law had not given any.
As for bringing things, she certainly came empty-handed.
Why bring gifts when visiting one’s in-laws?
"Why are you leaving so soon? Won’t you visit Mom and Dad a bit more? Are you worried they will give me something instead?"
Second Brother Yun was deliberately making sarcastic remarks.
But his words infuriated Eldest Sister-in-law Yun, yet she couldn’t show her anger.
