Chapter 344 Lin Gong and Song Ying are back
Before Song Ying left for Fujian Province, she left a key to her house with Huang Ling. "Sister Ling, if anything happens at home, please take care of things. Keep this key for easy access."
Huang Ling took the keys and held Song Ying's hand. "Don't worry, I'll take care of things at home. By the way, there are a lot of pickpockets on the train. Did you wear the two new zippered underwear I gave you?"
Song Ying thought Sister Ling was going to say something, so she chuckled and lowered her voice. "They've all transmigrated, and Wu Feng has transmigrated too."
Nine days have passed since Song Ying left.
Three days ago, Huang Ling received a call from them in Fujian Province. Song Ying's voice came through the phone. "Sister Ling, we'll arrive at Suzhou Railway Station at noon on August 3rd. Don't come to pick us up. Wu Feng and I will just take a tricycle back." Huang Ling quickly agreed and hung up the phone, then started thinking about picking them up.
On August 3rd, Tu Nan rode Uncle Lin's motorcycle early in the morning.
Zhuang Chaoying followed behind Tu Nan on her motorcycle.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Suzhou Railway Station and locked their motorcycle next to a large tree in the station square.
Tu Nan glanced at his watch. "Dad, it's 12:30. The train should be arriving soon."
Zhuang Chaoying wiped the sweat from her forehead, walked over to the woman selling popsicles next to the train station, bought two red bean popsicles, and handed one to Tu Nan. "Almost there, we'll arrive at 12:40. Have a popsicle to cool off."
The two of them were eating popsicles.
Just then, an announcement came over the train station's loudspeaker: "Dear passengers, train 684, which originates from Fujian Province and terminates at Shanghai Station, has now arrived at the station. Passengers going to Shanghai, please proceed to gate number seven to have your tickets checked and enter the station."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of aunties, older women, and old men carrying boards came over.
"Young man, looking for a room? Our inn is great value for money, only two yuan a night. We have a TV, a lamp, a public bath, and a canteen in the room."
These women started surrounding people as soon as they came out, and they were mostly asking single men. Their enthusiasm was so overwhelming that many of them couldn't handle it.
Zhuang Chaoying craned her neck, peering into the crowd.
Soon, he saw Lin Wufeng and Dong Zhe each carrying two bags, with Song Ying following behind, carrying one bag. "Engineer Lin, Xiao Song! Dong Zhe, over here!" Zhuang Chaoying called out, shoving the people around her towards them as she walked quickly, waving her hands incessantly.
The exit was crowded with people, but luckily the Lin family are all quite tall, otherwise all we could see were the backs of their heads.
"Mom and Dad, it's Uncle Zhuang and Brother Tu Nan."
Lin Dongzhe shouted excitedly, then looked back and saw that he didn't see Xiaoting. He felt a little disappointed, but the thought that he would see Xiaoting soon made him feel better.
Lin Gong immediately spotted Teacher Zhuang's signature glasses. "Song Ying, Dong Zhe, Teacher Zhuang is here to pick us up, stay close." These days, there are many pickpockets at the train station, and they are rampant. Even if half the people are pickpockets, their numbers are definitely not small.
Moreover, these people were incredibly arrogant; they would simply use razor blades to cut open pockets and bags, and by the time you noticed, they were long gone. Lin Wufeng looked back at Song Ying, who was following behind him, and only after confirming her safety did he continue walking forward.
"Teacher Zhuang, we're here."
They soon met up, and they smiled at each other, overjoyed at their long-awaited reunion.
Tu Nan and Zhuang Chaoying quickly stepped forward to help carry the luggage.
Song Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief when they finally walked from the train station to the motorcycle.
"This train is so crowded, it's practically crushing us. Tu Nan, didn't you call a few days ago and say you didn't need to pick me and your Uncle Lin up?" As she spoke, she raised her hand to tidy her slightly messy hair.
With a smile on his face, Tu Nan took the bag from Aunt Song and placed it on the motorcycle skid plate.
“We don’t have much to do at home, so we’re just sitting around doing nothing. My dad said he was worried you wouldn’t be able to get a taxi in Suzhou, especially with all this luggage in this hot weather.”
Song Ying nodded happily, then took a deep breath of Suzhou air, finding a long-lost sense of belonging in this familiar atmosphere.
"Wu Feng, Suzhou is still the best! Tu Nan, Teacher Zhuang, you don't know, the mosquitoes in Wu Feng's hometown are twice the size of those in Suzhou. They buzz around your ears at night, and each bite leaves a big welt. It's so annoying."
Zhuang Chaoying couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Little Song, the mosquitoes in Suzhou aren't as big as those from Lin Gong's place, but they're really venomous. The black spots from the bites won't go away even after a month. I was relaxing in the yard a few days ago and got bitten several times; the marks are still there." He rolled up his trouser leg and pointed to the small black spots on his leg for everyone to see.
Lin Wufeng laughed along. "Alright, let's talk when we get home. Standing under this sun is practically melting us."
As he spoke, he began packing his luggage, preparing to head home.
Zhuang Chaoying rode his motorcycle, carrying two young men. Due to the large number of passengers, the motorcycle was a little strained, but he still kept a steady grip on the steering wheel.
Lin Gong then rode his bicycle with Song Ying on the back. Both of them put on their safety helmets and rode home.
Lin Wufeng stopped the motorcycle when it reached the alleyway.
He pulled a net bag out of his luggage, which contained two pineapples and some mangoes.
At this moment, Grandpa Li was sitting in the shade by the door, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, slowly fanning himself.
He saw Lin Wufeng coming over carrying a net bag. "Wufeng, Xiao Song, you're back from your hometown? You must have had a long journey."
Song Ying smiled and nodded. "Grandpa Li, is Yiming home? This is fruit from Wu Feng's hometown. It's hard to buy here, so I brought some back for Yiming and you. Try it, it's very sweet."
After saying that, he stuffed the net into Grandpa Li's hand.
Grandpa Li looked at the two of them. "You took a train for two days and carried so much stuff, it must be quite heavy. Yiming went to Shanghai to buy goods, so I'll thank you on his behalf."
As he spoke, Grandpa Li took the net bag and turned to get them popsicles. "It's so hot today, Xiao Song, Wu Feng, have some popsicles before you go. It's so hot, have a popsicle to cool down."
Lin Wufeng quickly stopped Grandpa Li, who was about to go inside. "No, Grandpa Li, Yiming has helped us a lot before. Bringing some fruit is nothing. We're in a hurry to get home and pack up."
Grandpa Li stopped in his tracks.
"You must be tired after sitting on the train for three days. Go back and rest. When Yiming comes back, I'll have him go over there."
Lin Wufeng nodded, said goodbye to Grandpa Li, and got back on his motorcycle.
Zhuang Chaoying was carrying two people and wasn't riding that fast. When he came over, he saw Lin Gong get back on the motorcycle. Song Ying turned around and waved to them, signaling them to follow.
