Whether it was Xiangjiang or Kyoto, they had left too many bad memories for her. Whether she was cowardly or evasive, she was not ready to return home yet.
The man was secretly relieved when he heard her rejection.
But he smiled nonchalantly and said, "The banquet is about to start. It's not a good idea to be late."
He Wenxin nodded, and soon the two of them went out together.
"You really don't need me to accompany you?" Gu Xingdong asked again, watching Chen Lishu folding clothes and packing her luggage.
"The three little ones at home, especially Xiaochengzi and Xiaobai, are very active. Ruirui also needs someone to take them to and from school every day. I'm afraid that my mother and Sister Xiaoyue won't be able to take care of them."
Chen Lishu folded a cashmere sweater and put it in her suitcase: "Besides, I'm not alone. I'm taking Li Qiang with me this time. There are still business matters to be handled in the factory. I feel more at ease with Haitao and Zhao Xingwang in the factory."
"If everything goes well and the matter is finalized, I should be able to come back in about half a month. Ruirui is also going to take the final exam. After he finishes the exam, you can take him over and stay with the old man and the others for a few days. Then we can be together again.
return."
After Chen Lishu made arrangements for her company and home, she and Li Qiang got on the train to Kyoto.
Also traveling with her was Yang Lili.
"Mr. Chen, it's lunch time. Should you go to the dining car to eat or should I buy it for you?" Li Qiang looked at the time, raised his head and asked.
Chen Lishu kept moving her hands: "What time is it?"
Li Qiang: "It's almost twelve o'clock."
Chen Lishu was so engrossed in painting that she didn't expect it was already so late, so she said: "Wait a moment, there is still a little bit left. When I finish painting this point on my hand, let's go to the dining car to eat together. We haven't moved much all morning, so it's time to move around."
After saying that, she quickened the movements of her hands.
After a while, the first draft on hand was almost ready. She put the pencil in the notebook, closed the notebook, put it on the bed, and then got off the top bunk.
"Sister, let's go have dinner together."
Yang Lili shook her head: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't go."
Chen Lishu: "Do you need me to bring it back to you?"
Yang Lili shook her head: "No, I'll drink some hot water and we'll eat together in the evening."
Chen Lishu and Li Qiang went to the dining car together.
As the New Year is approaching, there are more people rushing to catch the bus, especially those who have not bought tickets. In order to get a seat, they would rather spend a little more on meals.
So when Chen Lishu and Li Qiang passed by, there were no empty seats.
Chen Lishu saw some people even eating while leaning against the wall with their lunch boxes.
The smell of the food was mixed with various cigarette smells and some indescribable smells. I was still a little hungry at first, but when the smell washed away my appetite, I suddenly lost my appetite.
Chen Lishu: "Forget it, let's go back and eat."
Li Qiang's eyes fell on the dining car: "Mr. Chen, what do you want to eat?"
"It's lighter, a piece of white rice and a piece of green pepper and dried tofu."
After listening to her words, Li Qiang started to line up.
The smell was so strong that Chen Lishu felt breathless, turned around and went out, standing in the aisle at the door of the carriage.
While waiting for Li Qiang to get his meal, he suddenly heard noise coming from another carriage.
"Cry, cry, cry. It's so annoying to cry. Can you tell those two brats to stop crying? This carriage is not your home. There are so many people here. If you cry again, believe it or not, I will open the window and put them out."
Throw both out?"
The man shook his fist at the woman twice and said viciously.
The woman wore a gray plaid dress with a patch on her elbow.
Seeing the man waving his fist, he shrank his neck in fear, but he did not forget to hold the two children closer to his arms.
"Brother, please calm down. It's the first time for the child to go out. There are many people in the carriage and the child has a fever. I will coax them well." Sensing everyone's gaze, the woman said while coaxing the child softly.
But the man's ferocious look completely frightened the child. The child, who was already crying, cried louder and even turned red in the face.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You brought out the child with a fever? I won't talk nonsense to you. Either you take these two brats and get them out, or I help throw them out."
The woman prayed: "The child's father is a soldier at the border. I have never seen what his father looks like since he was born. This time my man called me to report that he finally had a few days off. I wanted to take the child to see him."
Look, the child was originally very obedient."
When everyone heard that she was a military wife, their originally impatient expressions softened a lot. Some even helped to persuade: "Forget it, it's not easy for everyone. Maybe it's too stuffy in the carriage. The three of us are squeezed into one seat, and the children are still here."
Hey, let’s coax him and give him something to eat and see if he’s okay.”
"Yes, I have two pieces of candy here, take them to the children."
"What a shit, she was moaning and groaning last night, and her mother has been crying all morning today. Let me tell you, no one can persuade her today. If she doesn't get out, I will go to the police. If you have money, I will go
Take a sleeper berth and don’t go out if you don’t have money. All your good mood will be ruined by these three ladies.”
The man had a loud voice, and he had a fierce look on his face with his eyes rolled up.
The two children hiding in the woman's arms were already feeling a little better, but now they burst into tears again.
"Cry, cry, keep crying and see if I don't slap you!"
The man raised his hand irritably, but was suddenly slapped aside.
"You are so courageous, who are you going to slap?" Chen Lishu looked at the man coldly, without any intention of backing down.
When the man saw that the other person was a woman, he looked obviously stunned.
He looked Chen Lishu up and down without any trace, and saw that she had a good temperament, was wearing clothes that looked expensive, and her attitude towards the woman with the child was obviously different.
"This is between me and her, it has nothing to do with you."
"It is indeed her fault that her child is crying, but she has already apologized. As a man, you don't have the tolerance to tolerate others, and it is your fault that you even want to take action. Besides, she has already said that her man is serving as a soldier at the border.
, they are protecting their families and the country on the front line, not just so that their families can be bullied by others."
"You say it's easy, but you didn't hear that those two little bastards were so loud that they were going to split people's heads. Besides, I was just trying to scare them."
At first glance, Chen Lishu was not an ordinary person. The man bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, so he pulled her back again.
Chen Lishu ignored him and turned to look at the woman. Seeing the flushed face of the child in her arms, she asked, "The child has a fever. Has he taken any medicine?"
The woman shook her head in embarrassment: "This is my first time traveling far away. The child's father told me which bus to take and then he would pick me up at the station. I didn't expect that the child would feel uncomfortable."
