Chapter 40 40. Encounter on the train

Qiao Zhenzhen and her three companions bought sleeper berths to return to Beijing. Looking at the sky outside the window gradually changing from yellow sand to green mountains and clear waters, she was still deeply moved. She leaned against Song Jin and listened to him talk about his plans after returning to Beijing.

Song Xiaobao asked, "Dad, are we going to open another factory? How many factories do we have? How can I inherit them in the future? Can't you let me relax a little?"

Song Dabao also frowned and said, "Yes, Dad, I'm so busy every day. Not only do I have to do papers and memorize texts, but I also have to go running and exercise. I only have a little time to play."

Song Jin and the others laughed when they heard the children say this: "Who told you that this factory will be inherited by you two in the future? And how old are you? How busy can you be?"

"It was Teacher Liu at the base who said that, and my classmate's mother, they all said that our factory will belong to me and my brother in the future." Song Xiaobao answered seriously.

Qiao Zhenzhen gave him a slap on the head and said, "You're dreaming. These belong to me and your father. When you grow up, you can earn money to support your family. If we don't want these factories anymore, we'll donate them to the country. Don't even think about getting something for nothing."

"Song Xiaobao, no wonder your grades have dropped this semester. Are you thinking about inheriting our factory? Don't you work hard? I tell you, if you don't study well, I won't care if you go out to beg for food in the future."

"Song Dabao, your grades are still good, but you still have to work hard. It will cost a lot of money to get married in the future. If you two don't work hard, you may not even get married."

Song Dabao has no idea about this, and his grandmother said that his father didn't spend much money when he married his mother, so Song Dabao is still not worried. He doesn't know that the future betrothal gift money will be hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Song Xiaobao was horrified: "Mom, you won't save money for me to get married?"

"Your father also saved money to get married, why do you want me to save money for you, Song Xiaobao, your idea is not good, you must correct your attitude."

Seeing Song Xiaobao put on a bitter face, Qiao Zhenzhen laughed heartlessly beside him, Song Jin was also led astray by Qiao Zhenzhen, and felt that this scene was a bit funny, and the corners of his mouth were raised more and more.

Song Xiaobao had to lean on his elder brother to keep each other warm and comfort each other. At lunch, Song Xiaobao ate more than half a bowl of rice, as if he was worried that he would not be able to eat such delicious food when he went to the street to beg in the future.

The family laughed and made a lot of noise, which also diluted the sadness of parting.

In the afternoon, the conductor asked in the carriage if there was anyone who knew English translation, as the sleeper car needed a temporary translator.

Seeing that the conductor looked anxious, Qiao Zhenzhen stood up and said that her English was not bad, and she had received a foreign guest team from the city for inspection before.

The conductor thought Qiao Zhenzhen was very suitable, and Qiao Zhenzhen's behavior and dress were also like a well-educated person, so he wanted to ask Qiao Zhenzhen to go with him to the sleeper car.

But at this time, Song Jin went to the bathroom, and she couldn't leave the two children behind, so the conductor called another female conductor and asked her to stay and help look after the children.
