Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

After a lot of hardships, everyone finally arrived at the train station. After showing their tickets, the conductor allowed them to board the train early.

This time Li Tianyi bought a hard sleeper ticket, not because he didn't want to buy a soft sleeper. With Li Tianyi's level, he was qualified to sit in a soft sleeper. However, they bought the ticket late and there were no soft sleeper tickets left, so they could only buy a compartment ticket. Three adults plus two children just filled up the entire compartment.

After putting the luggage away, Li Tianyi asked Xiao Zhou and Xiao Xue to look after the luggage and the children, while he got out of the car to see his father off.

On the platform, Li Tianyi looked at his father. He had aged a lot over the years, and his head was covered with white hair. His father was already in his fifties, almost sixty. "Dad, when you and mom retire, come to Northeast China to find me."

"Okay, I get it. You guys should be careful on the road, especially the two children. You must keep an eye on them. There are many human traffickers on the road, so be careful."

Li Tianyi nodded slightly, and Li's father did not delay any longer. He had to go to work soon, so he patted Li Tianyi on the shoulder and turned to walk out.

Li Tianyi returned to the box only after Li's father came out of the station. At this time, An An and Dou Dou were still sleeping. Although the adults got up early to travel, the two little guys had not woken up yet. They were now lying on the bed, snoring and sleeping soundly.

When Xiaoxue saw Li Tianyi coming back, she took out a vegetable pancake from her pocket. The weather was not hot yet, and the food could be kept for a day or two, so Li's mother cooked all day yesterday just to ensure that Li Tianyi and the others had food to eat in the car.

Li Tianyi finished the vegetable pancake in his hand in just a few bites, drank a few sips of water, and sat on the lower bunk opposite to read a book.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou suggested going around the carriage. Li Tianyi thought that the train had not started yet and there were not many people on the carriage, so he agreed to Xiao Zhou's suggestion and told him not to rush back.

After Xiao Zhou went out, Li Tianyi asked Xiaoxue to sleep on the upper bunk for a while and he would stay here to look after the child. Xiaoxue did not refuse. She was a little sleepy after getting up so early.

The only sounds in the carriage were Li Tianyi and Sasha turning pages and the breathing of the child and Xiaoxue.

More than an hour later, people started to enter the carriage and Xiao Zhou also came back at this time. Li Tianyi asked him to lock the door to prevent anyone from coming in, and then asked Xiao Zhou to rest before taking his turn.

Xiao Zhou disagreed at first. He wanted Li Tianyi to rest first, but Li Tianyi was not sleepy yet. Xiao Zhou had no choice but to go to the upper bunk to rest.

Not long after, the train started slowly and the scenery on the roadside began to slowly recede. The sound of the train woke up An An and Dou Dou. The two children opened their eyes. An An sat up first and rubbed his eyes. Seeing that he was not at home, An An looked to the side and saw Dou Dou looking up at him with a confused face. Then Dou Dou's eyes began to fill with tears and he opened his mouth wide and wanted to cry.

Li Tianyi appeared in front of them in time. When An An and Dou Dou saw their father, they immediately threw themselves into Li Tianyi's arms and sobbed softly. Li Tianyi explained to them in a low voice that they were going on a long journey and were now on the train, and their mother was also sleeping on it.

An An and Dou Dou saw that their mother was there, so they turned their attention to Li Tianyi's words and looked out the window curiously. The trees outside the window were rapidly receding, and various scenes appeared outside the window.

An An and Dou Dou had never been out of the city, so they were very curious about the rural scenery outside the window. The two of them lay by the window, chattering about something. Li Tianyi was just paying attention to prevent them from falling, and didn't pay attention to what they said.

Two hours passed like this. An An pulled Li Tianyi's sleeve. Li Tianyi looked down at him. An An said, "Dad, my brother and I are hungry."

Li Tianyi then remembered that the two children had not had breakfast yet. He quickly put down the book in his hand and searched for something in his bag.

After a while, Li Tianyi took out a dozen eggs from his briefcase. Li Tianyi peeled two eggs and gave one to each child. Doudou was still young, so one egg and some milk powder was enough for him. But for An An, that was not enough. So Li Tianyi took out half a steamed bun made of 200 grams of flour and handed it to An An. An An and Doudou ate it with great relish.

At this time, Xiaoxue also woke up from her sleep. Seeing that Li Tianyi was too busy, she hurriedly got out of bed to help. Li Tianyi asked Xiaoxue to watch them while he went outside to get hot water.

Xiao Zhou was also awakened by the noise in the carriage. After he got up, he also wanted to follow Li Tianyi out, but Li Tianyi was worried about the child, so he asked Xiao Zhou to stay.

After a while, Li Tianyi came in with a kettle. Xiaoxue took the kettle and made milk powder for Doudou. When the water ran out, Xiaozhou hurried to get some water.

The time on the train was boring. At first, the two children were interested in the scenery outside the window, but after looking for a long time, there was nothing much to see.

Within two days, the two children began to become listless. Li Tianyi had no choice but to take the two children for a walk around the carriage with Xiao Zhou.

Adults were fine and could tolerate being a little tired, but it was different for children. For the next three days, the two children said they would not go out no matter what and just stuck to Xiaoxue, refusing to go anywhere.

Xiaoxue had no choice but to leave all matters to Li Tianyi and Xiao Zhou. Except for going to the toilet, Xiaoxue could not leave the box.

Fortunately, we will arrive in H City today. Although it is the middle of the night, at least I can have a good rest.

After getting off the train, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then Xiao Zhou and Li Tianyi held the children and carried the luggage, while Xiao Xue also carried some of the luggage, and they walked out of the station in the crowd.

After leaving the station, Li Tianyi and his friends stayed in a nearby guesthouse. After a simple wash, they went their separate ways to rest.

The next morning, Li Tianyi woke up from his sleep and looked at his wife and children. They were still sleeping. Li Tianyi went to Xiao Zhou's room and knocked on the door. Xiao Zhou quickly opened the door and said, "Commander, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Xiao Zhou, go buy some food later and ask how to get to the military area."

"Okay, Chief, I'll be there in a minute."

After giving the instructions, Li Tianyi returned to the room, woke up Xiaoxue, and asked him to wash up first, as Xiao Zhou would be over soon. Xiaoxue knew that they still had things to do today, so she didn't stay in bed, but went to the bathroom to get some water and started washing up.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room. Li Tianyi opened the door and let Xiao Zhou in. Xiao Zhou was holding a few steamed buns and steamed buns in his hand, and of course eggs.

Xiao Zhou put the things on the table, and then told Li Tianyi the information he had heard, that to get to the military area from here, one had to take a bus and then walk three miles to arrive.

Li Tianyi asked Xiao Zhou and Xiao Xue to eat first, while he woke up his two sons.

After breakfast, everyone carried their luggage and headed for the bus station. By the time they got on the bus, two hours had passed. Although the weather was not hot, they were already sweating profusely.
