Chapter 156. Arrived in Beijing, new home new starting point
The old-fashioned green train cars were narrow, and the seats were tight as well. It stopped at every station, no matter how small. Second Aunt joked that taking the train was great, but stopping even at melon sheds was unbearable.
Fortunately, the multifunctional baby carriage crafted by Third Brother Su, Su Yanshou, was quite reliable. Once converted into a bed, it was just over forty centimeters wide, fitting snugly beside the seat without hindering passenger movement.
This way, Little Lian’en could sleep or play comfortably inside, sparing the adults from taking turns holding him all the way to Beijing.
Just this alone made Shuzhen infinitely grateful.
She decided that when she had the chance to write home, she must include a few ’trendy new styles’ from Beijing for Third Brother Su. This would not only help them secure their position in the furniture factory but was also a form of public service and convenience.
You could see on the journey that all the passengers were ogling at their baby carriage as if it were a spectacle, murmuring that it would be nice to have one for their own child!
After two days and nights of jolting, the announcer’s voice, "Hello, dear passengers, Beijing South Railway Station has arrived. Please prepare to alight," was heavenly music to Shuzhen’s ears.
A spontaneous exclamation of "Oh my goodness!" drew the attention of half the carriage. Shuzhen quickly swallowed the vulgar second half of the sentence she almost blurted out, "Finally here! The backache and leg agony have tormented me to death." Instead, she brightened her face with a sunny smile: "Oh my goodness, we finally made it! Just the thought of being under the same sky and living in the same city as the great leader makes me incredibly excited.
Haha, when we return home, I can boast about having lived in the same place as the great leader!"
Willing to make a big joke out of herself, she meant for everyone’s gazes not to focus on her. Unexpectedly, her words sparked a strong resonance throughout the carriage?
