Chapter 382 Another World

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask you again in the next chapter. It would be best if you could share it on Facebook for me]

At 2:15 pm, we arrived at the terminal.

There is no high-speed rail from Yanjing to the Porcelain Capital, so we can only transfer through Yuzhang, the capital of Pozhou, and after another two and a half hours of travel, we finally arrived at the Porcelain Capital.

This trip took eight or nine hours on the train, which almost made people sick.

"Sister, brother-in-law, this way..."

Yang Jianbang waved his hands vigorously.

The family heard the shouting and ran over.

Seeing her younger brother, Yang Lina instantly remembered her deceased father. She was so sad that she couldn't stop crying.

Xu Dong quickly hugged his wife into his arms.

The children looked at their mother nervously, especially the three brothers Dabao, whose faces were full of worry. It was the first time for the little guys to see their mother cry like this.

"Sister, it's all over..." Yang Jianbang whispered to comfort her.

"Why did you hide it from me?"

Yang Jianbang's face was full of bitterness: "We were worried about you. The epidemic was so serious at that time. We were afraid that you would cry and hurt yourself. Besides, this was our mother's idea. I dare not disobey her."

"Mom, don't cry!"

Dabao gently pulled the hem of his mother's clothes, and the three brothers seemed to be crying with him.

Yang Lina finally calmed down, and then pulled her younger brother to introduce: "This is your uncle, say hello to your uncle."

"Hello, uncle!"

"Good, good, we are all good children."

Yang Jianbang's face was full of smiles.

However, throughout the whole process, Xu Dong, the brother-in-law, kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word. At most, he just nodded to his brother-in-law.

Yang Jianbang's previous guess was correct.

Xu Dong did have a lot of opinions about him, even more than Yang's father and mother.

Then, the group left the station.

Compared to three months ago, the Porcelain City seems to be more dilapidated. There are many more homeless people on the streets, including the elderly, children, and even young people.

"Uncle and aunt, please be kind?"

"Give me something to eat! Aunt, I'm hungry!"

"Do you want a guide? Twenty yuan a day..."

A large group of people came up.

The passengers covered their noses and hid. Xu Dong and his wife immediately picked up Erbao and Xiaobao, and Yang Jianbang helped to pick up Dabao.

The sisters Keke were very scared and held their parents' hands tightly.

Fortunately, the security guards arrived in time, and the group of people fled.

Yang Lina said with lingering fear: "Why is it so chaotic here?"

"Sister, don't worry, they just want some money at most, and they definitely don't dare to do anything illegal."

"I didn't see so many beggars last time I came here, what happened?"

"Alas, in the past two months, everyone's life has become more and more difficult, and many families can't make ends meet.

Before, begging was not allowed in public places such as stations, but now it is turned a blind eye. We have to leave a way out for the poor people!"

Yang Jianbang sighed.

Yang Lina shook her head and skipped the topic directly.

"Can we get a taxi here?"

Xu Dong and his wife brought a lot of luggage this time, half of which was for sending people, and half of which was their daily necessities.

Dabao even wanted to bring the "excavator".

"This place is close to the city, you can get a taxi, wait for me, I'll call a taxi."

Yang Jianbang put Dabao down and left.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a dilapidated van drove over.

"Sister, brother-in-law, we can't find another car, so we have to make do with this."

Yang Lina waved her hand: "It's okay, just take this car, it's not far anyway."

The van arrived in less than 20 minutes.

Along the way, Xu Dong found that this place seemed to have become another world.

Although there were many pedestrians on the street, they were basically listless, everyone had a bitter face, the city buildings were getting more and more dilapidated, and there was almost no construction site.

In Yanjing, whether in the city or in the suburbs, there were towering cranes everywhere, reconstructions everywhere, and large and small construction sites were spread all over the capital.

The conditions were just as difficult, but full of vitality.

……

"We're home."

Yang Jianbang opened the car door and carried the children out of the car one by one, while Xu Dong and his wife were busy moving the luggage.

The fare was 300 yuan, which was quite expensive.

"Dong Dong Dong... Mom, we're back."

Hearing the knock on the door, Yang's mother straightened her clothes and opened the door impatiently.

As their mother instructed, the children rushed up to hug their grandmother as soon as they saw Yang's mother.

"Hello, grandma!"

"Grandma, I miss you."

Yang's mother's mouth was almost cracked with laughter. She touched her twin granddaughters and then her triplets. She really loved them.

At Yang Lina's suggestion, Xu Dong called out reluctantly:

"Mom!"

The old lady couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard this "Mom". The old man's death was not without any effect. At least it eased the relationship between the two families.

"Come in quickly, are you hungry? Grandma will make noodles for you."

The noodles were exchanged for milk powder. Yang's father passed away early and didn't even finish a bucket of milk powder. Yang's mother usually couldn't bear to drink it.

In order to avoid waste, they simply exchanged all the food.

Five barrels of milk powder were exchanged for a full 300 kilograms of food, more than half of which were refined grains. Overall, this deal was not a loss.

Yang Lina grabbed her mother and said, "Mom, no need. Keke and the others ate a lot of snacks on the train. They are not hungry now. Let's eat together in the evening!"

"Dabao, are you hungry?"

Yang's mother was a little worried and asked the children.

"Grandma, we are not hungry." Dabao patted his belly and replied.

"Okay, grandma will make you delicious food in the evening."

In order to welcome their daughter's family, Yang's mother and Chai Han spent a lot of effort. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spent more than 30 kilograms of corn flour and bought a rattlesnake from the black market.

This rattlesnake was caught by scavengers. The snake meat weighs about five or six kilograms. If you eat it sparingly, it will be no problem to eat two or three meals.

"Thank you, grandma." Lele's little mouth is very sweet.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Yang Lina opened the suitcase and began to distribute gifts.

The most important thing is two barrels of cooking oil.

The cooking oil stored at home is about to expire, and it can be used as a gift. After all, there are many children in the family, and eating expired food is risky.

Chai Han was simply stunned.

These two barrels of cooking oil are enough for their family for two years. If they are put on the black market, they can be sold for at least 100,000 yuan.

Of course, although their family lacks money to buy a house, they do not lack this 100,000 yuan. Only a fool would sell oil.

Yang's mother quickly glanced at her son-in-law.

"Nana, didn't Mom tell you last time not to bring anything here anymore? There is no shortage of food at home."

"Mom, these two barrels of cooking oil are about to expire. It's a waste if we can't finish it. Don't refuse it."

Xu Dong rarely advised: "Mom, Nana is right, you can rest assured to accept it. Not only do you have it here, but my brother and sister also have it."

At the beginning, he stockpiled 100 barrels of cooking oil in one go. In the past few years, he has consumed more than 60 barrels, and now there are only the last 30 barrels left.

Unfortunately, it will expire in September.

So I don't feel bad about giving it away.
