CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 619 BUYING TICKETS

Bai Yiyi organized her things and took out the loose change from her piggy bank.

These were given to her by Jiang Xiaoxiao and his family every year.

Jiang Xiaoxiao never cares about these New Year’s money.

She secretly blamed herself.

This matter should obviously be told to her sister, but she knew if her sister found out, she would definitely accompany her back. Her sister is now pregnant, and with twins.

If, because of her own matters, her sister gets exhausted and something goes wrong, what would they do?

What if it harms the children!

She was already eight years old, she knew what to do.

She was very smart, some people are just born smart, and Bai Yiyi was one of them.

Second Uncle’s letter said that mom was out of prison.

Mom had been out for a long time, according to the timeline, a year after she arrived in the Capital City, mom would have been released.

But mom still hadn’t come to find her, and Bai Yiyi always thought about this and wondered why mom hadn’t come to find her.

She thought her mom had a hard time after getting out, especially since after her grandparents passed away and her father wasn’t home, the house was reportedly sold.

Moreover, there were no other family assets, and after her release, mom had nowhere to live and no livelihood, so she surely had to settle herself first before considering coming to get her. Although she lived well here with Jiang Xiaoxiao.

She ate well and lived well, enjoying the best living conditions, but a child misses her parents, that’s inherent.

No one would despise their own parents.

She once felt troubled, wondering when her mom really came to get her, what she should do?

Should she follow her mom, or choose to stay?

If she left, would she hurt Jiang Xiaoxiao’s feelings?

If she didn’t go, that would hurt her mom’s feelings.

But things didn’t even get to the point of troubling her because her mom hadn’t come to find her at all.

Sometimes when she wrote letters, she intentionally or unintentionally revealed that she wanted to know about her mom’s whereabouts, but Second Uncle always told her that after leaving prison, her mom never contacted them.

However, this time Second Uncle suddenly wrote that her mom was back.

This had filled her with joy for finally being able to see her mom, but to her shock, Second Uncle said her mom wanted to divorce her dad and was planning to remarry.

Although her father was out of touch, he was still her father in her heart.

Now her mom suddenly wanted to remarry.

Bai Yiyi couldn’t stand it.

But what made her even more intolerable was that her mom now had a one-year-old little girl with her.

They said that the girl was mom’s daughter.

When mentioning her, mom never even said she wanted to bring her back.

Bai Yiyi was heartbroken.

She decided, no matter what, to go back.

She wouldn’t let anyone know about this.

Bai Yiyi packed her money into her schoolbag, along with some simple items.

She had ridden the train several times with Jiang Xiaoxiao, so of course, she knew how to take the train.

At her age, there was no way she could buy a train ticket, no place would sell her one.

But she knew Uncle Wei, brother-in-law knew the ticket seller, as long as she handled it well, it wouldn’t be hard to buy that train ticket.

Bai Yiyi went to find Jiang Yue after school.

Jiang Yue wasn’t home today, and Qin Ming picked up the two kids from the nursery after work.

Indeed!

Their home now had two kids, a son, and a daughter, besides Nuonuo, they now also had a Da Niu.

The little chubby one was now two years old.

He was born after they returned to the city.

The son was named Qin Jianli, the daughter was named Qin Jianqiu.

Nuonuo was now over four, behaving exactly like a big sister, with the little follower Da Niu trailing behind her every day!

Jiang Xin’s school curriculum was quite busy, so she could only come home two days a week, most of the time it was Qin Ming alone with the two kids.

Luckily, their residence was close to the mother-in-law’s house.

Often Fan Xiuying would take the two kids over, and they frequently went to the mother-in-law’s for meals.

Whenever Qin Ming had to work overtime, the kids would be sent to Fan Xiuying’s place.

Qin Ming was especially grateful to his mother-in-law. After he and his wife returned to the city, a lot of things were handled by the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Even when it came to his job, it was quite unlikely for him to be working in the Capital City if not for the little sister-in-law and brother-in-law’s help.

His job was smoothly transferred over, and not only transferred but because he had always performed excellently at work, he became a deputy director after just a year here.

If he gained more experience, it was possible he could become the official director in a couple of years.

Qin Ming hadn’t been idle all these years, even though his education wasn’t high, he attended night school in the evenings and self-studied for an adult degree.

In the power plant, he was known as an expert in research and was relied upon in his field, he became a deputy director through his own abilities.

He saw a little person standing at their doorstep.

Qin Ming got off his bicycle.

"Yiyi, how come you’re here alone?"

Qin Ming looked around, usually Bai Yiyi would come over with Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others. This was the first time she ran over here alone.

Bai Yiyi smiled and held Nuonuo and Da Niu’s hands.

"Brother-in-law, I’m heading to grandma’s today, and I’m helping Xiao Xiaojie bring a message. Xiao Xiaojie wants a ticket back to West City for a classmate. You know how sister’s been pregnant with twins lately and isn’t feeling well. She didn’t head to grandma’s today, so asked me to bring a message to you. Buy the ticket, and I’ll take it back to her."

Bai Yiyi lied without changing her expression.

Qin Ming, upon hearing that his little sister-in-law had asked him to do something, of course, he’d promptly handle it, as it wasn’t a big deal.

"Alright then, take Nuonuo and Da Niu to your grandma’s. I’ll buy the ticket soon and bring it over to you."

"Hey, brother-in-law, here’s the money."

Bai Yiyi stuffed 50 yuan into Qin Ming’s hand.

Qin Ming laughed, "You can pay me back later, what’s the rush."

Bai Yiyi had already run off with Nuonuo and Da Niu, the three kids disappearing into the distance.

Without further ado, Qin Ming got on his bicycle and went straight to the train station.

Chief Wei’s brother-in-law was now a director at the train station, making it even easier to buy tickets.

He just swung by and got the train ticket, buying the best seat available.

Since it’s a long journey home, a sleeper seat was definitely needed.

Qin Ming returned to his in-laws’ house, where Nuonuo and Da Niu were already eating; he took off his coat, and his mother-in-law called him to hurry up and join them at the table.

Fan Xiuying was busy with several grandchildren around, and Jiang Xiaoxiao would often bring her kid over.

Aside from worrying that her son was still unmarried, the house was lively and festive like it was New Year’s every day.

After eating, Bai Yiyi took the opportunity, while Fan Xiuying was busy in the kitchen, to ask Qin Ming for the train ticket, carefully tucking it away in her own pocket.

Now that the train ticket was purchased, everything was ready.
