The troops' field training this time lasted for five days and four nights, and before Yang Lei came back, Zhou Qing's spring vacation was coming to an end.

Zhou Qing thought that no matter how chaotic and failed her marriage and housework were, at least she couldn't let it affect her work.

Jiang Xiaolin sent Zhou Qing all the way to the train back to the city, and gave her fifty yuan despite her refusal.

"Take it...... Don't think nonsense when you go back, and work with peace of mind. ”

Zhou Qing had no choice but to accept the money and sighed secretly, she was several years older than Jiang Xiaolin, but this time it was really thanks to her for taking care of her. Immediately, she repeatedly told Jiang Xiaolin to be more careful on the way back, after all, she still had to hold a child.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go out and wait for the car bought by the army to pick me up, and I'll not go anywhere. ”

Zhou Qing hugged Congcong again and kissed her, these days day and night, she is really a little reluctant to this smart and lovely child.

The train was about to start, Jiang Xiaolin stood on the platform with Congcong in her arms, grabbed Congcong's little hand and waved it gently, and said goodbye to Zhou Qing, who was looking at them from the window.

Back in the army, Jiang Xiaolin smiled bitterly at a telegram.

The telegram was sent from the address of his hometown, and the text was only four words: "Family affairs, hope to return." ”

I'm afraid that something really happened at home, Jiang Xiaolin was very worried...... She knew the personalities of the Yu Zhou family, and if it weren't for something very important and urgent, she would definitely not send such a telegram to the couple of them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaolin couldn't sit still for a moment, she knew that even if she waited until Yu Zhenye came back from the field training, she was afraid that she would not have a holiday to return to her hometown, so it was better to go back first, and if there was any urgent matter, she could deal with it first without delaying time.

So, Jiang Xiaolin left a letter on the most eye-catching table at home, and the next day, she took the child on the train back to her hometown.

In one day, eight or nine hours of driving, Jiang Xiaolin was the only one with her son.

After a morning on the train, Cong Cong was still a little fresh, and at first it was quite smooth. Who knew that when it was time for lunch, the people in the carriage got up one after another to get dry food for lunch, and everyone's actions frightened Cong Cong and began to feel inexplicably uneasy. In fact, Congcong has always been a good baby on weekdays, but today he is restless and crying because of the unfamiliar environment and crowd around him.

"Woo...... Wow......"

Congcong closed his eyes, opened his mouth, his face was flushed, bean-sized tears slipped down his fat cheeks, and his little hands pulled his mother's long ponytail, which had already pulled Jiang Xiaolin's hair a little unkempt.

"Good boy...... Don't cry, don't cry...... Don't be noisy now, is it okay to listen to your mother......"

Jiang Xiaolin reluctantly put down the spoon and held her son in her arms and coaxed her gently.

Feeding on the train was inconvenient, but fortunately, six-month-old Congcong was able to eat a little food. Jiang Xiaolin came out this time with the help of the mill on the army to grind millet flour, and it became rice cereal as soon as the hot water was flushed, accompanied by steamed carrot puree and yam puree, which was usually a favorite food for Congcong when he was at home, but who knew that this time he was very faceless, and he refused to eat it after only feeding a few bites.

Seeing her son crying and hiccuping, Jiang Xiaolin was also very distressed, hugged her son upright, and gently patted his little back.

"The child doesn't want to eat, or you should breastfeed." An old lady sitting in the same seat said.

There were crowds all around, Jiang Xiaolin's face was a little hot, she shook her head with a smile, got up and paced back and forth in the middle of the train aisle with her child in her arms.

"Nowadays, young people are very particular, we all carry our children to work in the fields at that time, and when the children are hungry and sit on the ground, they will lift up their clothes and feed them. If you don't work, you won't have anything to eat, so how can you pay attention to these things. Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin didn't listen to the advice, the old lady nagged a few more words.

Sitting opposite was a middle-aged woman, her hair had turned slightly gray, still neatly tucked behind her head, unkempt, wearing a conservative blue cloth dress and glasses, looking like an intellectual.

She listened to the old lady's words, put down the book in her hand, and said lightly: "The train carriage is a public place, everyone should really pay attention to their behavior, and she did the right thing." ”

After speaking, she looked up at Jiang Xiaolin, who was holding the child, and said to her: "The child is afraid that he will be asleep, so he is not busy eating first, you can put the child down and coax him to sleep for a while." ”

Jiang Xiaolin felt that she could give it a try, so she wrapped Congcong in a small quilt, put him in his seat and lay down, squatted on the edge of the seat and patted his son's little body, humming an unknown gentle melody in his mouth.

The old lady was choked by the woman, a little unhappy, and said: "The people nowadays are really, all of them are very expensive...... Where is the ignorant milk doll who doesn't cry, who is going to coax us at that time, so that he will naturally fall asleep when he is tired of crying. ”

After she finished her speech, she found that Jiang Xiaolin was still engrossed in coaxing the child, and the woman opposite picked up the book and continued to read, without the meaning of talking at all, the people around her should eat and watch, and no one paid attention to her words at all.

Her face trembled, she snorted, and turned her head to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't pay attention to her words, and coaxed the child for a while, Congcong gradually quieted down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

She thanked the middle-aged woman happily, and the man also showed a faint smile and whispered, "No thanks, it's not easy for you to take a long-distance train with your children alone...... When I was young, I didn't have an old man around to help watch the children, and this was all an experience that I had explored. ”

As she spoke, a crack appeared on her stern, almost rigid face, and she looked very fragile.

Jiang Xiaolin still thanked her solemnly, and then took out a large handful of various snacks and candies from her backpack, and held them in her hands for the people sitting around to eat at will.

"I'm sorry everyone, my child is still too young and ignorant, just now he was crying and making trouble, disturbing everyone's meal and rest, please don't mind. ”

What she took out were all kinds of snacks produced by the food factory in her hometown, with exquisite packaging, small and exquisite, and they looked very classy.

The food factory has established a long-term relationship with my uncle's orchard, so it has access to many new products from the food factory. These are all brought by her uncle and aunt when they came to see her last time, and they usually don't eat much at home except for sending them away, but this time she brought a pack, which really came in handy.

The passengers around her could also understand the situation of Jiang Xiaolin's mother and son, and they all smiled and said that they didn't mind, and when they saw her take out snacks and invite everyone to eat, they also took one or two to taste.

The old lady who was still pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed just now hurriedly came over and grabbed all the snacks in Jiang Xiaolin's hand.

"Oh, my grandson likes to eat candy or fruit, but unfortunately the family is poor, and he can eat enough, how can he buy him these food, I will take these back to satisfy his hunger, he will be happy." ”
