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? Watching people gushing non-stop, eagerly expressing their deep love and strong admiration for the great leader. Shuzhen couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat: Alright, in this era, the great leader is practically a sun-like figure adored and idolized by everyone. What she considered her adolescence awkwardness gained quite a legitimate recognition here. She had merely started the topic, and the whole carriage filled in the rest of the book, so to speak? Even Second Aunt, who was illiterate, was full of excitement, constantly mumbling that experiencing such an event in her lifetime was worthwhile. Once they’ve settled down, she insists on visiting the square and monument. She would wear the new clothes Shuzhen made for her and have a photo taken under the statue of the great leader. Seeing Second Aunt, who could squeeze water out of a penny, being this generous, Shuzhen was left speechless. After they arduously unloaded all their luggage from the train, Shuzhen and Lianshan invited their fellow passenger Li Hai to a meal at a nearby restaurant, as a token of gratitude for his care throughout the journey. Li Hai didn’t refuse, only saying that despite coming from the same village, people were distant but the land was kin. He assured Lianshan and his wife, who brought their child to study, that if they needed any help, they should feel free to ask, without being polite. As long as it was within his ability and didn’t violate laws or morals, he would never hesitate. Shuzhen and Lianshan nodded with a smile, acknowledging this generous and righteous veteran friend. After the meal, Li Hai suggested finding an inn to stay for the night, resting before dealing with the school or arranging accommodation. Since Lianshan and his wife had keys in hand, they could move in directly. However, to avoid revealing their close connection with Uncle Wu and Yinghong, they nodded in agreement. They’d rather spend an extra day paying for the inn to reasonably arrange the ’rented’ house. After leaving their luggage, Second Aunt, and Little Lian’en at the inn, the couple dragged their weary selves to sort out the housing issue. Just as Yinghong had said, the location was excellent, very close to the university, less than a ten-minute walk. The courtyard had a small entrance, with a room on each side upon entering. The main house had three rooms, and the small yard had a well. A jujube tree and a grape arbor grew in the yard. Under the vine was a round stone table with five round stone stools. The pathway paved with bluestone was flanked by rose flower walls. Just as Yinghong said, stepping inside filled one with poetic charm. Simply sitting at the stone table under the vines, sipping fragrant tea, holding a book, breathing the rose scent in the air was the best definition of happiness. Unfortunately, due to neglect, the jujube tree and grape vine were alive but with only sparse leaves and scattered vines. It was evident they had been stripped of grapes and jujubes by mischievous children nearby. The rose flower wall, too, was uprooted or pulled, vanishing into the tall weeds. This house, tidying it up posed quite a challenge! For someone else, just the weeds covering the yard were enough to cause despair. Fortunately, there was Shuzhen and her supernatural ability. Although considering the neighbors, she didn’t dare directly cause the excess weeds that ruined the beauty to wither completely. Secretly manipulating their roots, making weeding easier than lifting a cup, was no problem at all. With her ability’s help, in less than ten minutes, Lianshan had cleared the small home they would live in for the next two years of any weeds. Then, opening the door with the key, he watched his wife grab a handful of soil and place seeds in it. Before long, she spurred it into tall mugwort that autonomously whisked, sweeping in and out. The house, which was dusty and dirty, quickly became bright and clean. The speed and efficiency left Lianshan gaping, willing to offer his admiration. After a rough clean-up, the couple returned to the inn to fetch Second Aunt and Little Lian’en, sharing the good news of finding a suitable house in half a day. Hearing this, Second Aunt was overjoyed, exclaiming that since they now had a place to stay, why waste money on the inn? Once settled, they could buy some pots and pans. They could move in tonight, rather than keep spending money on lodging and food. After all the hustle and bustle of moving into the new home, Second Aunt eyed the small piece of empty land joyously: "Hey, this is a nice yard. Sow some vegetable seeds on either side of this path, and it’ll be enough to feed us all. Take good care of the jujube tree and grape vine, and before you know it, Lian En will have fruit to eat. I even brought a jar of earthworm species from home to cultivate a small patch. Raise five, seven, or eight chickens, and we won’t lack eggs..." Hearing the jar, which they insisted on bringing, was finally understood, Lianshan and Shuzhen were both speechless, yet deeply moved. Having someone planning and thinking for them everywhere felt truly nice, especially for those like them who had lost parental care early. The nagging yet considerate Second Aunt reminded them so much of a meticulous mother from their memories, who ensured her children were fed and clothed well, bringing warmth to their hearts.
