Chapter 736 Farewell
Chapter 736 Farewell
Fu Huaiyi: "Isn't it just that you're sick? Hospitals are pretty good these days. Maybe you'll get better after staying in the hospital for a few days."
But Lin Yuyao knew it would be difficult.
But she couldn't say that.
"What if? We have to plan ahead."
"Should wean the child now?"
Only ten months...
She originally planned to raise it until it was one year old.
"Then let's wean her."
There are only about two months left.
Fu Huaiyi: "Why don't you take them with you?"
"That won't do. It's not good to bring such a young child. Besides, everyone will be busy with other things, and we won't be able to take care of the child."
"What did your parents say?"
“They definitely won’t let such a young child go to a funeral. Yan Yan isn’t in good health, and my mother won’t let her go either.”
"Oh? So your sister-in-law isn't going?"
"I'm not going. My sister-in-law will stay and take care of the child. My mother said that a few of us immediate family members can go later."
Fu Huaiyi: "And what about me?"
"You stay home and take care of the child."
Fu Huaiyi looked conflicted. "Is this arrangement correct? Is it appropriate for me not to attend the old man's final journey?"
“If it’s convenient, it would be great if you could deliver it. But it’s inconvenient, you have to go to work and take care of the kids.”
That's what he said, but Fu Huaiyi felt really awkward about it.
If Yuyao leaves, won't he have to stay here with two nannies to take care of the child?
No, he needs to call his mother and ask her to come and save the day.
No, wait a minute.
He's just sick, it's not like he's really beyond help, so what can he say?
I should at least call and tell her so she can be mentally prepared.
After hesitating for a while, Fu Huaiyi finally decided to go to his study to make a phone call back home.
After explaining the situation to Luo Feng, the other party readily agreed.
She felt guilty for not helping with the baby, since her daughter-in-law had some family matters to attend to back home and was only asked to come and help for a few days. Of course, she had to help.
The next day, Lin Yuyao took Ye Lian to the station. It wasn't as crowded as during the Spring Festival travel rush, so Lin Yuyao easily helped Ye Lian get on the train.
She only realized she had bought a standing ticket after she boarded the train.
"Mom, why did you buy a standing ticket? Can you stand for two or three days? Didn't you say you weren't trying to save money?"
"Yes, I'm not trying to save money. I just bought it in a hurry and there were no sleeper berths available."
Lin Yuyao: "..." That's true.
It's really a hassle to get home so quickly.
If I had known, I would have waited another day. I could have driven her home, and then I could have gone home myself.
However, since they're already on the bus, Ye Lian definitely wouldn't want to get in.
Of course, the important thing is that she didn't know her grandmother couldn't hold on this time.
Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and checked the time; there was still a while left.
She went to the flight attendant and said she wanted to buy a sleeper ticket.
The train attendant said, "We'll have to wait until the train starts moving before we can make up the ticket. Right now, I don't know which berth can be filled."
Lin Yuyao: "Do you think it's possible to make up for it?"
"Generally, there are always some people available, but for various reasons, a few people will miss the train on each trip. However, it's not certain whether they can get a replacement, since there are more than one person who wants to get on."
What do I do?
The flight attendants were busy, and Lin Yuyao lowered her head, thinking about how to handle things properly.
At this moment, Ye Lian tugged at Lin Yuyao's clothes and said, "The announcement is coming over the loudspeaker, you should go back quickly."
"Mom, will you be able to finish it yourself later?"
"Yes, you can go back now. I'll go find the flight attendant to buy a ticket myself in a bit."
Lin Yuyao thought about it and still refused, "I'll get off at the next stop, and I'll buy you the ticket later."
"Huh? Where are you going to sit with me?"
"I'll take the train from the North City Station to the South City Station, and then I'll take it back later."
"That's such a waste of money."
"It's not far, and it doesn't cost much." That's the decision.
Lin Yuyao didn't believe Ye Lian could make up the difference in votes.
Ye Lian might try to buy a replacement ticket, but if she can't, she won't try to find another way.
Given her personality, she could probably make do squatting on the ground for a few days.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Ye Lian take a small stool out of the snakeskin bag, place it aside, and sit down.
Lin Yuyao was speechless.
Just say it.
She was prepared.
The car doors were already closed and it was moving. Lin Yuyao said to Ye Lian, "Mom, you sit here and don't wander off. I'll go buy the ticket."
"Okay, if we can fix it, we can. If we can't, it's okay, I brought a stool."
right.
Lin Yuyao asked the train attendant which carriages offered ticket purchase options, and then searched through each carriage.
I unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
"Xiao Fen, what are you doing here?" She was genuinely surprised.
I heard she got a successful divorce and has a stable job, so I thought she wouldn't go back.
“I took leave to go back to my hometown to transfer my household registration. My supervisor said I could transfer it to the company’s collective household registration, which would make it easier for my child to go to school later.”
Oh, I see.
"That's great. It's definitely easier for children to go to school if they have a local household registration."
Tang Xiaofen smiled and nodded, "By the way, are you... going back to your hometown too?"
"No, I'm getting off at the next stop. My mother is going back to her hometown."
Seeing her standing in the aisle, Lin Yuyao asked again, "You didn't get a seat ticket either?"
"I didn't expect these tickets to be so hard to buy normally. I should have asked for leave a few days later."
"There's only one train a day, so it's bound to be packed every day."
Tang Xiaofen sighed, thinking to herself, "That's exactly right."
"Xiaofen, can I ask you for a favor?"
Tang Xiaofen quickly realized, "You mean you want to help look after Auntie?"
"Yes, my mother has never taken a train ride alone for such a long time before. She is getting old, and I am quite worried about her."
"No problem, which carriage is Auntie in?"
"She doesn't have a seat in carriage number twelve either. But I'm planning to help her upgrade to a sleeper berth. I'm not sure if I can get her one, but if I can, I'll pay for one for you too."
"Huh? This... isn't it cheap?"
"It's alright, I'd like to trouble you to look after my mother, this is my way of thanking you."
Tang Xiaofen was still hesitating.
Lin Yuyao added, "There are already so many people standing here, and we might not even be able to get a ticket. I'm just going to try."
Tang Xiaofen looked and realized that was indeed the case; there were so many people standing in the sidewalk, how could they possibly fill the gap?
"Okay, give it a try. If you can't fix it, then forget it." She agreed anyway.
"it is good."
Lin Yuyao told her to wait there while she took the two tickets to buy the rest.
When I arrived, I found a lot of people gathered around the counter, all waiting to buy tickets.
However, no staff members came.
Lin Yuyao knew the procedure; they had to go to the sleeper car first to check for available beds before they knew how many could be added.
She went directly past the crowd to the sleeper car and waited outside.
After waiting for a while, a flight attendant came out, and Lin Yuyao immediately handed over the ticket and explained the reason.
The other person didn't say anything, just took the ticket from her hand and told her to go to the counter to process it.
