Cao Dali saw his sister-in-law so nervous and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on them."
There are some things you still can’t take lightly.
It’s not fear of ten thousand, but fear of the unexpected.
It’s better to be vigilant.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao didn’t make a fuss either; both of them even took out books to read to pass the time.
There were still quite a few people in the waiting hall.
But Yun Xiaoxiao and their party still stood out somewhat.
There were elderly people, children, and women.
There was just one male comrade.
In front of them were large and small bags.
Fang Chaoyang and the other two had packed their clothes and some food in fertilizer bags.
As for Cao Dali and his wife, they bought luggage bags, but they also had one fertilizer bag.
As for Zhao Xinxin and Zhao Tianhe, the siblings each carried a luggage bag and also had a fertilizer bag.
Yun Xiaoxiao’s family of four, their clothes were packed in a suitcase, and miscellaneous items were in the luggage bags.
The two children carried their little backpacks.
Yun Xiaoxiao also carried a backpack.
Although there was only one male comrade, Cao Dali, standing there, he was quite sturdy; he looked around alertly, ready to show anyone who dared to come and make trouble a lesson they wouldn’t forget.
There were people eyeing them, eager to try their luck.
Wanting to come over.
But it wasn’t long before they saw several young men heading toward that group.
Near the train station there were food vendors, and the shop owners also thought with the hustle and bustle of people at the station, they might buy some snacks to eat on the train.
"Sister-in-law, Third Brother bought quite a lot of snacks," Cao Dali said.
"He even bought oranges."
When Zhao Tianlei and his companions met up with them, they also looked around, knowing that with a group this vulnerable, they were sure to attract attention.
Now that they had returned, they too wanted to see who would dare to try stealing from them right under their noses.
"Daddy, I want to pee..."
Zhao Tianlei picked up Xiao Bao and headed towards the restroom.
"One by one," Fang Chaoyang, who had also traveled before, saw that there were pickpockets who specifically targeted the elderly and frail as well as women.
Zhao Tianlei quickly returned with Xiao Bao.
Then he took Da Bao to the restroom.
As for the female comrades, naturally, they went to the restroom with the person they were closest to.
"What time is the train?"
It’s only after three now.
Why does time pass so slowly?
"We only managed to get two sleeper tickets, once we’re on the train, I’ll ask the conductor to see what can be done," Zhao Tianlei said.
"That’s all we can do now."
Sitting for days on end, if it were all in hard seats, it would be unbearable.
At five o’clock, Zhao Tianlei left the waiting hall to buy some steamed buns and eggs to bring back.
Once they had eaten, they hurried to the platform to wait.
"Xiao Yang, keep an eye on Grandma Fang, I’ll give you the sleeper tickets," Zhao Tianlei instructed.
Zhao Tianlei then looked at the others, "When we board the train later, you all must closely, okay?"
Er Dan and Fang Meiyun were taking the train for the first time and weren’t aware of these things.
But they were obedient.
As soon as the train stopped, people from the train started to get off.
Zhao Tianlei quickly led them to board the train, as their city had quite a large station.
It was Er Dan’s first time experiencing the crush of boarding a train.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao were already used to it, having caught the train several times before.
The two little ones held tightly onto their mother’s hand and didn’t let go, following her as they squeezed onto the train.
Zhao Tianlei carried a suitcase in one hand and a luggage bag in the other.
