Chapter 402: Six days later

Because they had the cheating artifact that was the sub-space, the family of four lived very comfortably in the sleeper berth. Except for the room being a bit cramped and the children not being able to play to their heart's content, everything else was very convenient.

When Shen Man watched TV in the past, she often saw human traffickers kidnapping children on trains, or people drugging women after forcibly abducting them to sell them into the mountains, but so far, she hadn't encountered such a situation.

Aside from the *rumble-rumble* sound of the train running along the tracks, almost no one walked over to their side to try to strike up a conversation or borrow anything.

Occasionally, her husband would carry a thermos and hold the children to go fetch water and get some fresh air.

But every time, they would only go out for a short while before returning, ensuring the safety of her and the children.

Every night, considering the beds were relatively small, they would send the children into the sub-space to let Tangyuan look after them more.

As for them, they would embrace each other and endure as they drifted off to sleep.

Although there were only the two of them in the room, this was, after all, on a train; what if there was an emergency...

The sexually frustrated Jiang Ye pondered that once they reached the Capital, he would check into a guesthouse the moment they landed, and then he would definitely...

Six days later—

The train finally pulled into the Capital station. Having stayed on the train for so many days, let alone the couple, even the two little cubs were wilted.

Aside from the novelty brought by riding the train at the beginning, later on, the two little ones missed their ancestors, missed their sister, then missed their little friends, and others...

In the end, they had lived on the Sea Island since they were born.

They were already familiar with the people, events, and things on the Sea Island.

Suddenly arriving in a brand-new place, and staying in a narrow room without peers to play with them, they would inevitably feel a bit uneasy.

"Alright, alright, babies, we've arrived at our destination. Hold tight to Daddy and Mommy's necks, okay?"

Shen Man had already packed most of their luggage and put it into the sub-space. The couple each held a cub and traveled light, with only one bag on each of their backs.

"Okay, Mommy."

"Got it, Mommy."

The two siblings weren't picky at all; they each wrapped their arms around their father's and mother's necks, their eyes looking everywhere. A strange place, so many strangers.

When the train door opened, the couple lined up.

In a situation that wasn't too crowded, they got off the train one after another.

Outside the train station, it was exceptionally lively; the hawking of vendors and the sounds of carts were endless.

Was this the new economic system that had already begun trial operations?

In the past, whether it was at the station or on the roadside, individual trading was not allowed.

It was very easy to be caught and cracked down on by people like the Red Guards or the neighborhood committee for engaging in speculation and profiteering.

Now, this scene of a flourishing economy truly made her dream back to her university days; the university town night market next to her school had been just as prosperous.

"Mommy, so fragrant, tummy is hungry."

Xiao Mantou rubbed his stomach, acting like a spoiled child.

Both Shen Man and Jiang Ye felt sorry for the children, because although they had the sub-space during these seven days, the meat stored in the sub-space was limited, and they couldn't provide the children with a balanced nutritional supplement every day.

Plus, they had left in a hurry, and Shen Man could only collect some supplies in the limited time she had.

Things like fruits, eggs, and milk powder were not lacking.

But things like chicken, duck, fish, and meat were limited in the sub-space.

And since her sister-in-law was still in the period of confinement, her body needed more nutrition, so she had left most of the meat supplies behind, placing them in the kitchen and asking Amei to handle them well to nourish her sister-in-law.

These days, their family of four would eat some dry rations, and otherwise, they would catch some fish and shrimp from the lotus pond in the sub-space to supplement what their bodies needed.

*Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. *

Just after Xiao Nuomi finished speaking, the sound of her stomach was contagious to Xiao Mantou. The children were hungry and craving meat, so how about...

"There is a state-run restaurant in front; let's go eat out."

Jiang Ye was never a stingy person. Since his wife and children were hungry, there was no need to consider anything else; they would go eat something good and nourish the mother and children.

Shen Man stepped forward to keep up with her husband's pace, then curiously asked:

"Ah Ye, have you been to the Capital before? How come you seem so familiar with it?"

Jiang Ye slowed his pace to let his wife keep up, and he quickly responded to his wife's question:

"No, this is my first time here."

"If this is your first time here, then how do you know there's a state-run restaurant in front?"

After Shen Man finished speaking, she saw a big sign and was instantly speechless, silently saying nothing.

With such a big sign for a state-run restaurant, had she been blind just now?

She hadn't even seen it and had foolishly asked.

"I took a simple look at the map of the Capital before coming. You know, I have a photographic memory. It was marked on the map that there is a restaurant nearby, so that's why I..."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and gave his wife a way to save face.

He couldn't laugh; if he laughed, his wife would be even angrier.

What if she didn't let him into bed tonight? Wouldn't he be at a huge loss?

Having finally endured through these days, the light boat had already passed ten thousand mountains; he couldn't get stuck at the final hurdle...

Shen Man didn't speak; Shen Man just kept walking.

The little ones in the couple's arms weren't paying attention to what their father and mother were saying; they were just staring straight at everything nearby, and suddenly, they all hugged their father and mother tightly in unison.

What kind of place was this?

So many people, and so many strange buildings.

And these people were all busy; it felt very hard.

She saw an old grandmother dressed in rags being pointed at by a little boy dressed neatly, who was cursing, "Get lost, you old thing!"

Then she saw a beautiful aunt walking forward in a daze, with a thin, gaunt man chasing after her.

"Yanzi, I was wrong, don't leave!"

"Get lost!"

The beautiful aunt was very angry, much fiercer than when her aunt-in-law got angry at her uncle.

Shen Man sighed; her daughter seemed to have inherited her own bad habit, being keen on watching the excitement when it came to things like arguing and fighting.

Actually, it wasn't just Xiao Nuomi; even Xiao Mantou, who was sitting on Jiang Ye's back, was watching with great interest.

Jiang Ye was also helpless; the mother and children all loved watching the excitement, so should he stop and let them finish watching?

"Yanzi, please give me a chance. I really love you. I didn't listen to my parents' wishes to marry that woman. Don't throw a tantrum, okay?"

The man grabbed the woman's legs and knelt on the ground, begging for the woman's forgiveness.

Originally, the woman had softened a bit, but the next second she heard a passerby interject—

"Young lady, don't be fooled. What this man is saying is blaming you and trying to distance himself from it."

"Exactly, exactly. What 'I really love you and didn't listen to my parents' instructions, so I really love you'—bah!"

"Young lady, you need to keep your eyes open when picking a man; don't be fooled by a man's sweet talk!"

"The subtext of this man just now was 'don't make a scene,' calling you unreasonable and troublesome!"

666!

Shen Man listened from the side, her eyes shining.

This was a mouthpiece! ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
