1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit
Chapter 108 Rejection
Chapter 108 Rejection
“I feel like after this experience, I don’t want to take the train anymore.”
Unless the train has developed to the same level as in later generations, otherwise, she really doesn’t want to ride in this train at all. This train is too uncomfortable to ride. Not only is the speed slow, but it is also painful. Fortunately, there are not so many people in the sleeper car, otherwise, Gu Qingwu really feels that she will be so angry that she will jump to her feet.
“In the future, we shouldn’t take such a long train ride unless it’s necessary.”
Qin Haonan looked at Gu Qingwu slumped on the middle bunk with amusement. He didn’t feel anything, but Gu Qingwu seemed different. She seemed to be really resistant to taking the train.
In his opinion, they were lucky enough on this trip as they had sleeper berths. In the past, when he took the train, he mostly had hard seats.
Gu Qingwu rolled her eyes. Is it okay if she doesn’t like it?
Thinking of Qin Haonan’s words, she felt that what Qin Haonan said was right. Maybe in the future, unless it was necessary, they would not have to take such a long train ride, and they would not have to go back to their hometown. It seemed that there was really no need to take such a long train ride.
“You really don’t plan to go back?”
Gu Qingwu asked curiously, although Qin Haonan didn’t have much affection for his biological father, he would go back after his biological father died, right?
“It’s not necessary. He has a pair of good children. There’s no need for an ungrateful person like me to go back and attend his funeral.”
Qin Haonan lowered his eyes, hiding the cold light in his eyes, and said that even if Qin Tieshan died, he would not shed a single tear. He cried so many times when he was a child, and Qin Tieshan felt sorry for him. Now he would not shed tears, he had learned to let go.
Just like Uncle Gu said, not all parents love their children, so isn’t it normal for children not to love their parents?
How can you ask for something in return without paying anything?
When Gu Qingwu saw Qin Haonan lower his eyes, she knew what Qin Haonan meant.
“If you don’t want to go back, then don’t go back. I don’t want to go back anyway.”
Gu Qingwu said with a smile. She stretched out her hand and patted Qin Haonan’s head. Fortunately, this was in the middle bunk, otherwise, she might not be able to pat Qin Haonan’s head.
Qin Haonan noticed that Gu Qingwu was trying to comfort him, and he rubbed his head against Gu Qingwu’s palm.
“I am fine.”
He has already been sad and disappointed. After he gave up on Qin Tieshan, he will not be sad for such a person again. He has a wife now, and he will have their own children in the future. He will learn to be a good father and will not be like Qin Tieshan. In fact, he is a little worried in his heart.
He was worried that he would not be a good father. His life since childhood had made him not know how to be a father. Even with Uncle Gu around, he was still worried. He was worried that he would be as cold-blooded as that man.
“It’s okay.”
Gu Qingwu didn’t know what Qin Haonan was thinking just now, but seeing that Qin Haonan didn’t seem to want to say it, she didn’t ask. Time will slowly heal everything.
The warm atmosphere between the two people made the man and woman who had just come in look at each other. They did not disturb Gu Qingwu and Qin Haonan, but slowly packed up their things.
After Qin Haonan packed up everything, he took the teacup and left.
Gu Qingwu didn’t know whether Qin Haonan had gone to fetch water or do something else. She lay on the middle bunk and closed her eyes, intending to rest.
When Qin Haonan was leaving, he first went to the restaurant carriage and found that there was still food in the restaurant, so he bought some steamed buns, millet porridge and tea eggs.
As for side dishes, Qingqing from his family brought a lot.
Although they ate a lot in the past few days, there is still some.
Back in the carriage, Gu Qingwu heard Qin Haonan’s footsteps and opened her eyes.
“Qingqing, come down and have dinner.”
Qin Haonan said softly. Gu Qingwu got down from the middle bunk and sat at the small table on the lower bunk. As for the two new people, they were sitting on the other side, whispering something. Qin Haonan and Gu Qingwu were not in the mood to care about outsiders. They were eating breakfast together.
“Oh, it’s so tiring to travel this long.” Gu Qingwu ate two buns and a tea egg and stopped eating. She put down her chopsticks and said, Qin Haonan handed the millet porridge in the teacup to Gu Qingwu.
“Have some millet porridge.”
Qin Haonan said softly, and Gu Qingwu did not refuse. She took the teacup, drank some millet porridge, and handed the teacup to Qin Haonan.
“You drink some too.”
The journey was so tiring, and Qin Haonan still had to take care of her. Gu Qingwu said that she couldn’t be a heartless person, so she didn’t finish the millet porridge in the teacup and left some for Qin Haonan.
“Drink more if you like. I can drink water later.”
Qin Haonan said with a smile, and Gu Qingwu shook her head.
“No.”
Gu Qingwu shook her head, and Qin Haonan didn’t insist. If she didn’t want to drink, then don’t drink. At most, he would fetch some water and keep it cold, and when it was drinkable, he would let Gu Qingwu drink some.
“After we get off the train, do we need to take a coach and then a boat?”
When Gu Qingwu thought about the road ahead, she suddenly felt a little worried. Alas, it would take more than seventy or eighty days just to go from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. This speed was too slow.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingwu sighed again.
“Don’t worry, we’ll just take the ferry.”
There was no need to take a bus after getting off the bus. Qin Haonan had found out everything. After getting off the bus, they could take the ferry to get there.
However, the ferry takes quite some time.
“After we get off the bus, let’s go buy some seasickness medicine.”
Qin Haonan was worried that Gu Qingwu would get seasick, but Gu Qingwu rolled her eyes.
“I have a lot of pills.”
As soon as Gu Qingwu said this, Qin Haonan burst out laughing. He had forgotten that his wife was a good doctor and was very skilled in making pills.
“Daughter-in-law, I was wrong.”
Qin Haonan admitted his mistake directly, and Gu Qingwu rolled her eyes at him.
“Okay, I didn’t say anything.”
She has pills for seasickness and pills for motion sickness, and the ingredients in the pills are the same.
She didn’t say this. Gu Qingwu felt that she should let Qin Haonan know more about her medical skills in the future.
The young couple was whispering to each other. Another couple seemed to be a couple as well. They heard the conversation between Gu Qingwu and Qin Haonan. The man in the couple looked at Qin Haonan.
“Brother, can you please give us some of my sister-in-law’s seasickness pills?”
The man asked awkwardly. He was a little embarrassed to speak. It would be fine if they just eavesdropped on the couple’s conversation, but now they had to change the pills.
“Well, my wife made the pills herself. It’s not convenient to change my wife’s pills.”
Qin Haonan shook his head and refused without thinking. Are you kidding? They didn’t know these two people. Besides, his wife didn’t even have a medical license. If there was any problem with the pills, his wife would be in trouble.
