Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 164 Lively
The woman with the child also carried many bags and bundles; Shi Xia even saw the pot handles, indicating that she had brought all the cooking utensils.

"Hello, hello, my name is Zhou Meilan. I'm sorry I'll probably cause you a lot of trouble along the way."

Zhou Meilan immediately apologized.

"It's okay, everyone has a child at some point. It's normal for little kids to cry and fuss when they go out. Don't worry about it!"

"Let me tell you, my son used to cry when we went out as a child. The more a child cries, the smarter they are. My son is now working in Beijing!"

"Thank you, ma'am."

Zhou Meilan expressed her gratitude, and Shi Xia expressed her admiration.

The old lady has a knack for always managing to steer the conversation back no matter what you say.

"It's alright, he's just a kid."

Shi Xia also spoke up. She didn't want to make things difficult for a mother who was out with her baby. If it weren't for a last resort, who would go out alone with their child?

"Yes, yes, it's okay, please come in quickly."

Zhou Meilan smiled gratefully, carried the child in, and her luggage clattered against the two beds.

“You’re on the top bunk—it’s inconvenient for you to bring your child up and down, so you can stay here with me.”

Accountant Xu and Zhou Meilan switched places, and Zhou Meilan thanked them again.

"Thank you. I wanted to buy the lower bunk, but I couldn't. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to leave... Thank you, thank you."

She kept thanking him, and Accountant Xu said it was nothing, and prepared to tidy up and go lie down on the upper bunk.

"Come, come, sit here with me. It's too much trouble to go upstairs. If you lie down too much during the day, you won't be able to sleep at night. Let's chat."

"You look to be in your thirties or forties, right? Is this your eldest daughter? She's so beautiful. And let me tell you, my son is good-looking too..."

Accountant Xu was caught by the gossipy old lady and forced to sit on the lower bunk, where she was forced to chat with her.

As for Shi Xia, she had already gone upstairs because there was too much luggage and too many people downstairs, and there wasn't enough room to stand.

It's actually not bad to take a comfortable trip and ignore the noise around you.

“Your clothes are very nice. My son has one too.”

"Whoa whoa-"

"Okay, okay, Mommy is changing your diaper. Don't cry. Look what this is."

The lower bunk was bustling with activity. Accountant Xu was utterly dejected, while Shi Xia pretended to be blind and deaf.

Amidst the chaos, the train started moving.

Not long after the train started moving, a conductor from the soft sleeper berth came to check tickets.

The flight attendants carried thermos flasks and were ready to refill everyone's water whenever needed.

When they inspected their carriage, Accountant Xu was sweating profusely.

This old lady is so talkative!
"These are our train tickets."

Accountant Xu quickly got up, took out the train ticket, and also asked for some hot water.

"Shi Xia, shall I make you some oil tea noodles?"

"Row."

Shi Xia sat up, leaned against the pillow, and was about to throw away the orange peel in her hand when Accountant Xu simply raised his hand and naturally took it.

"Give me."

"Oh my, your dad really spoils you! I've never seen anyone pamper their child like that."

The old lady spoke up, and Accountant Xu didn't explain, saying, "It's my daughter, so be it."

If Shi Xia were his daughter, the Xu family's ancestral graves would be emitting auspicious smoke.

Shi Xia didn't explain; there was no need.

"Baby's drinking milk, slow down, are you hungry?"

Below, Zhou Meilan is feeding her baby with formula prepared in a bottle.

The old lady looked at the baby bottle curiously and asked, "What is this? I've never seen it before."

"It's a baby bottle. My husband bought it from a foreign exchange store. I don't have enough breast milk, so I'm feeding the baby some formula." "Oh my, this is the first time I've ever seen one like this. I'm going to help my daughter-in-law during her postpartum period. I don't know if I'll have enough breast milk, or if this thing is expensive?"

Zhou Meilan replied vaguely, "It's alright. Your son is influential in Beijing; he can definitely buy it if he wants."

With just one sentence, the old lady's wrinkles all melted into a smile.

"That's right, that's right, we'll see when the time comes."

The old lady actually felt that Zhou Meilan raised her child too extravagantly. The handkerchief she used to wipe the child's mouth was made of pure cotton, and even the diaper ring was made of good fabric. It was obvious that she was not a person who knew how to manage money.

She definitely couldn't agree to her daughter-in-law doing that.

However, although she is a chatterbox, she knows that there are some things she shouldn't say.

Accountant Xu, who was focused on making oil tea noodles for Shi Xia, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wasn't chatting with him anymore.

After preparing everything Shi Xia needed, Accountant Xu excused herself by saying she was tired and quickly climbed up to the top bunk and lay down.

However, he didn't sleep; he just closed his eyes and dozed off, mainly because he didn't want to talk.

The train continued on its way, and Shi Xia and Accountant Xu remained quiet.

The baby in the lower bunk fell asleep after eating, and the old lady stopped talking. If the child woke up, everyone would suffer, and the whole private room became quiet.

In the evening, Accountant Xu called Shi Xia down to the dining car for dinner.

The old lady glanced at it, pursed her lips, and thought, "Why spoil a girl like this?"

Zhou Meilan smiled but didn't say anything, focusing wholeheartedly on taking care of the child, being especially careful and attentive, her eyes full of maternal love.

Shi Xia and Accountant Xu stayed at the restaurant a little longer, took a break to use the restroom, and washed their faces before going back.

Before we even reached the entrance to the private room, we saw a large group of people gathered together.

Accountant Xu stood directly in front of Shi Xia.

"I'm in front."

Shi Xia nodded, and the two went over.

"Baby, look at Mommy."

"Don't sleep, please! Don't sleep!"

Zhou Meilan was crying, holding her child and crying.

The child's face was flushed, and his expression showed that he was in great pain. Zhou Meilan had opened his clothes and was pressing on the baby's heart with one hand.

The posture is correct.

Although the people around were gossipy, they were also very helpful. One of the flight attendants stayed behind while the other went into the carriage to call out and see if there was a doctor.

"Wah-ah—"

With a cry, Zhou Meilan shed huge tears, her hand trembling as she held her baby, finally daring to breathe again.

The gossipy old lady next to him finally dared to speak up.

"Get up quickly, you were fine just now, how did this happen?"

The old lady helped Zhou Meilan up, and Zhou Meilan held the child tightly, gently pacifying the child.

“He was born with a heart condition, and I took him to Beijing for treatment this time.”

In short, everyone around was concerned and worried about the child, saying that the child would get better and praising the doctors in Beijing.

Zhou Meilan nodded, and the flight attendants dispersed the crowd to allow the air to circulate again.

Another flight attendant who went to find a doctor also returned, shaking her head to indicate that she had not.

Zhou Meilan regained some composure and thanked the two flight attendants.

"Thank you. I am a nurse myself, and I can handle some first aid myself. Thank you."

The flight attendants said it was nothing serious and that we should call them anytime if there were any problems.

Zhou Meilan thanked them again. Everyone in the private room left, and Shi Xia and Accountant Xu came in.

The baby, who had just been struggling to breathe and turned red in the face, now peacefully closed his eyes again. Zhou Meilan, with her back to everyone, wiped away her tears and silently cleaned up the things she had knocked over in the chaos.
