Chapter 49 Finally, almost there.
In other words, Gu Jianing didn't hear his thoughts. If she had, she would definitely have thought to herself: I won't let the food run out. As long as I have points, I can exchange them in the system's exchange shop. The items related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation there are very affordable.

After waking up, Guoguo was in much better spirits, but she still clung to Gu Jianing and would sometimes ask for her mother.

However, after Gu Jianing comforted her, Guoguo's mood improved considerably.

Then, Gu Jianing became enthusiastic about feeding Guoguo. As long as she had something with her, she would feed Guoguo if she wanted to eat it, without any hesitation.

Seeing this, the mother and son who had asked Gu Jianing for braised pork earlier were filled with jealousy.

They're both strangers, so why can they give food to a little girl but not to her Jinbao?

Her baby is a boy.

The little boy Jinbao felt the same way, his resentful gaze falling on Guoguo, thinking that a good-for-nothing like her didn't deserve to eat these things.

If he hadn't been scared away by Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing earlier, and if his parents hadn't held him back, Jinbao might have rushed over and snatched the food that Gu Jianing was feeding Guoguo.

Another night passed, and Gu Jianing gazed at the heavy snow outside the car window, feeling a sense of melancholy.

Finally, we're almost at our destination.

If she doesn't arrive soon, she'll either get moldy or become pickled vegetables.

Yuanshan Railway Station is the last stop and also the closest to the Northwest Military Region.

By now, the train, which was originally bustling with people, had shrunk considerably, with many having gotten off at previous stations.

There were fewer people on the bus, and the air was a bit better. But with fewer people and the temperature dropping, it suddenly got cold.

Gu Jianing added one layer of clothing after another for herself and Guoguo.

The couple who shared a bed with Shen Huaiyuan and Bai Juan also got off at the previous stop.

"We're almost at the station, you need to dress warmly." Sheng Zexi wrapped Gu Jianing up carefully in his military overcoat.

His military overcoat was so big that it completely covered Gu Jianing, who was over 1.6 meters tall, making her look like a child wearing an adult's clothes.

However, neither Gu Jianing nor Sheng Zexi cared.

Gu Jianing: This is the warmest military coat of this era. Although you look like a ball when you wrap yourself in it, it's really warm.

Although Gu Jianing loves beauty, she is not the kind of person who prioritizes style over warmth.

She firmly believes that beautiful people, even if they are wrapped in burlap sacks, are more attractive and have more class than those who are not good-looking but wear fine clothes.

Wearing a military overcoat and a red scarf that covered half of her face, only her bright and beautiful eyes were visible.

Then he put on a hat, covering his head and ears as well.

Guoguo was wrapped up tightly in Gu Jianing's cotton-padded coat and padded jacket.

"When we get off the bus, hold Guoguo's hand with one hand and grip my clothes with the other, and follow behind me. No matter what, you can't let go, understand?"

Sheng Zexi gave detailed instructions, but because he needed to get something, he still couldn't hold Gu Jianing's hand.

"When we get off the bus, a military vehicle will come to pick us up."

“Okay, I know,” Gu Jianing replied obediently.

Not long after Sheng Zexi finished packing his luggage, the train announcement came over the loudspeaker that they were about to arrive at Yuanshan Station.

As the train slowly came to a stop, Sheng Zexi carried or shouldered a lot of luggage, while Gu Jianing held Guoguo's hand with one hand and tightly gripped Sheng Zexi's sleeve with the other, and slowly got off the train.

Meanwhile, at the Yuanshan Railway Station.

Many people are waiting.

Among them were Lin Xing and his wife Zhang Shuwan.

Lin Xing took leave to pick up Zhang Shuwan. Zhang Shuwan's train arrived at the station earlier, so Lin Xing had been waiting for her for some time. After picking her up, the two did not leave.

Because Lin Xing found out that the train Sheng Zexi was on was the next train to arrive soon, the couple decided to wait. They could only feel at ease when they saw that Guo Guo was safe and sound.

"We've arrived at the station. Some people are getting off. Ah Xing, have you seen your comrade and Guo Guo?" As soon as the train stopped, Zhang Shuwan couldn't help but look around.

Her eyes were still red and swollen, and the swelling hadn't completely subsided.

"Don't rush, let me see." Lin Xing looked up and examined her.

He thought that Sheng Zexi was relatively tall, so he should be more easily noticed.

Just as he was thinking this, he spotted a figure carrying a lot of luggage, almost completely engulfing him.

If it weren't for that olive green uniform, that tall stature, and that familiar, arrogant face, Battalion Commander Lin would almost not have recognized him.

Is this still Sheng Zexi?
Although he didn't have much contact with Sheng Zexi, he knew that Sheng Zexi always disliked trouble and burdens.

Even when he needs to carry things, he always carries the lightest and most convenient items.

For example, Sheng Zexi would rather freeze to death than bring extra heavy bedding.

But now, if he wasn't mistaken, what Sheng Zexi was carrying on his shoulder should be a blanket.

Sure enough, a married man is different from when he was single.

After Sheng Zexi got married, he actually changed his personality. It seems that he really likes his wife.

"Battalion Commander Sheng!" Lin Xing waved.

Sheng Zexi was walking forward while keeping an eye on his wife behind him when suddenly he heard someone calling his name.

He looked up and saw Lin Xing, and then a woman beside him, who must be Battalion Commander Lin's lover.

"Ningning, Guoguo's parents are here."

Gu Jianing blinked. So fast.

As Sheng Zexi led Gu Jianing and Guoguo forward, Lin Xing came forward and took some of Sheng Zexi's luggage.

"Commander Sheng, I just happened to be coming here, so I thought I'd pick you up and we could go back together. I didn't send the soldier you ordered," Lin Xing explained.

Sheng Zexi nodded, "I see. Then I'll have to trouble Battalion Commander Lin."

"The car is parked not far away, let's go get it now." Lin Xing's gaze also swept over the military green figure behind Sheng Zexi, and suddenly, a lot of snow fell on her clothes.

The "ball" was completely wrapped up, with only its eyes showing, but those eyes were very lively.

Just by looking at her eyes, you can tell she's a beautiful and intelligent girl.

She must be Battalion Commander Sheng's wife, the one who first discovered the human traffickers.

However, Lin Xing did not linger her gaze on her for long, only glancing at her before looking away.

He had many words of gratitude to say to the Sheng Zexi couple, but he thought that since there were many people here, it would be better to put the luggage in the car first.

His gaze fell down to the small figure being held tightly in his wife's arms, and the weight on his heart lifted.

"Guoguo, my Guoguo..."

The moment Zhang Shuwan saw Guoguo, she rushed over, squatted down, and hugged her tightly, as if she were holding a lost treasure that had been found again. Tears streamed down her face.

Guoguo nestled in Zhang Shuwan's arms, wailing and crying, repeatedly calling out, "Mommy, Mommy..."

Zhang Shuwan comforted Guoguo while checking on her condition.
