After breakfast, Yu Lian braided her daughter's hair into a small braid.

After giving the children some snacks after their meal and letting them rest, I dressed everyone properly to make sure they wouldn't catch a cold when we went to the back of the car later.

The children were all exquisitely beautiful, with eyes like stars, and they were all wrapped up like little dumplings by their mothers.

Their walk from here to the back of the carriage attracted the attention of many adults.

Everyone is praising the child for being cute and good-looking.

The children were also very polite, saying thank you politely and greeting people when they heard someone praise them.

I met many enthusiastic older women, and since it's almost Chinese New Year, the bus was basically full of people heading home for the holiday. Everyone had big bags and lots of food.

As they walked out of the last passenger compartment, the children's bags were stuffed full of food.

Yu Lian walked to the back of the car, where there were quite a few men standing and bragging.

Her appearance with her child attracted some attention.

"dad?"

"I'm here."

Yu Jinbu bought a train ticket, but he gave his seat to an elderly woman who couldn't buy a ticket and had difficulty moving around, so he ended up in the back.

Knowing that his grandson was coming, he quickly tidied up a small place for the child to sit and used his cleanest sheepskin coat from his bag as a cushion for the child.

"Call him Grandpa."

The children all called out to their grandfather in unison, and then sat obediently in the "seats" that their grandfather had prepared.

Yu Jinbu suddenly felt nervous, a feeling he hadn't had when facing his daughter the night before.

Now that I've seen my grandchildren, I don't know what to say for a moment.

"Go, let Grandpa give you a hug."

Yu Lian pushed her youngest daughter toward her father.

Manman was a little afraid of strangers, and glanced back at her mother, "Mom..."

"Go away, Grandpa, don't be afraid, you're a good grandpa."

She walked over carefully and then rushed into her grandfather's arms.

"Hello, East Coast..."

"Why--"

Yu Jinbu's hands trembled with excitement. Afraid of scaring the child, she only dared to reach out and encircle her little granddaughter to help her stand up, but dared not hug her, afraid that she was too strong and would hurt her little, soft granddaughter.

"Oh dear, Daddy, hold the baby. Look, Manman is already reaching out her arms. Why aren't you holding her? Let me tell you, she can be quite temperamental. If she's not happy, she'll never talk to you again."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinbu immediately picked up his granddaughter and said, "My dear granddaughter, I am your grandfather."

Manman felt her grandfather rub her cheek, and she pushed his face away uncomfortably, saying, "It tickles, Grandpa's beard is hitting me..."

Hearing his granddaughter's innocent words, Yu Jinbu burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, my granddaughter is amazing, she can talk at such a young age."

These words made the men standing and chatting nearby laugh.

An older man of similar age joked, "No wonder they say grandparents love their grandchildren more. You really know how to praise kids. Such a pretty child, and instead of praising her looks, you say she's good at talking. Won't she be able to talk when she grows up?"

This remark made everyone laugh again.

Yu Jinbu didn't take it to heart, "Hahaha, what my brother meant was that this is the first time I've met my little granddaughter, and I'm just excited."

After memorizing each of their names and chatting with each of their grandchildren for a while to help them get to know him, Yu Jinbu urged them to go back.

"The carriage is cold, you should take the child and go back quickly."

"Dad, come with us to the front."

"No, it won't be good for you if someone sees us. I can't go back now."

Yu Lian didn't think it was a big deal; it was just an identity, and she explained it off casually.

They encouraged the children to pull their grandfather back to the carriage.

Yu Jinbu couldn't bear to refuse her grandson. "Here's what we'll do: you take the child back first. I have some things to pack here. I'll come over when I'm done."

"Okay, let's go back first."

Seeing that her father had relented, Yu Lian took the child back to the sleeper car.

To their surprise, they found that their seats were occupied as soon as they entered, with one person sitting in each of the two lower bunks.

An elderly woman and a woman with a large pregnant belly.

"Excuse me, this is our seat."

The old lady stood up and looked the woman standing at the door, who looked like a vixen, up and down.

Recalling what that young comrade had just said, he cast a disdainful glance at Yu Lian across from him without any attempt to hide it.

"Hmph, can't you see I'm an old man? Can't you see my daughter-in-law is pregnant? Comrade Jiang has already switched places with us; you can sleep on the top bunk with the child."

Yu Lian squinted. "Really? But you changed Comrade Jiang's seats, not mine and the child's. If you don't get up, I'll call the train police."

To everyone's surprise, the old lady was not afraid at all, and even sat down on it.

"Go ahead and yell! This old woman has a heart condition. If anyone dares to make me unhappy, I'll die right here and see who's responsible!"

"And my daughter-in-law is very far along in her pregnancy now. If anyone dares to hurt her, we'll never forgive them!"

The children were terrified by the old woman's fierce appearance and all hid behind their mother.

Faced with this situation, even though she knew calling the train conductor wouldn't be of much use, Yu Lian still managed to get someone to come.

After failing to reach an agreement with the train attendant, who noticed an elderly woman and a pregnant woman, the train conductor was called in.

The train station is used to this kind of thing. If it were an ordinary person, they would just take them away. But the tricky part is that there is a pregnant woman.

They really didn't dare to take the risk, even without tickets.

"How about this, comrade, we can get you and your child some softer seats, or you and the rest of you can sleep in the upper bunks, is that alright?"

Yu Liancai didn't want to share a room with this kind of person; she was afraid that her child would be bullied by this old woman.

"No need, just give us a different one..."

"Change what?!"

A rough voice came from behind, and just by listening to it, you knew it was not to be trifled with.

The group turned around, and the man's head was almost touching the roof of the carriage; he looked menacing just by looking at him.

Then the train conductor remembered what happened last night. Wasn't this the father of the woman with the child? Now things were really bad; neither side was easy to deal with.

If anything goes wrong, all the crew members on this trip will be in trouble.

Upon seeing her grandfather, Manman rushed over and burst into tears.

Yu Jinbu's heart pounded, and he even scared his granddaughter to tears.

Yu Jinbu, leaving everyone else behind, stood at the door of the private room.

"Will you walk by yourselves, or shall I help you?"

His imposing figure completely blocked the narrow doorway of the private room, obstructing the view of everyone inside and outside.

The old lady felt a sudden darkness above her head and shrank back in fright.

Just the sight of him standing there without saying a word was frightening.

"Mom, let's go..."

The old lady swallowed hard, then stood up shakily, leaning against the wall, and walked out with the help of her daughter-in-law.

Yu Jinbu stepped aside, watching them walk away, and scolded, "Stop! Apologize! You should be glad my daughter didn't hold it against you, and that my grandson is here, otherwise..."

His rough voice did indeed have a great deterrent effect, and the two men turned around and bowed in apology.

Then he ran away as fast as he could.

Yu Jinbu snorted coldly, turned around, and put on a nicer expression: "I'm sorry, comrades, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The train conductor waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "I should be thanking you."

After everyone left, the group returned to their seats.

Who would have thought that Yu Jinbu's few words had suddenly made him seem so much more impressive in the eyes of the children?

They weren't as resistant as before, and were happy to sit with him.
