Chapter 106.2

The two brothers didn’t encounter any trouble along the way. They secretly followed Su Zhenhua and Zhang Chunying at a distance, all the way to the county.

The small county town wasn’t big, just a few streets. The train station and hospital weren’t far apart, and prominent buildings visible once inside the county boundary were easy to find.
The brothers smoothly arrived at the bustling train station. Xiao Bao wanted to enter directly, but the staff stopped them, saying they needed tickets to enter. Xiao Bao clearly remembered that Grandma only bought one ticket to bring him in.

Xiao Bao had no choice but to pull Da Bao to queue up at the ticket window. Although the people around were a bit curious, they all thought that their parents were nearby and asked them to queue up first, so they didn’t ask much.

Quickly, these two little ones were engulfed in the long queue.

Da Bao was timid, and as he watched the dense flow of people, he felt sweaty in his palms. He always felt like there were bad people everywhere. “Xiao Bao, how about we go back?”

Xiao Bao looked left and right, excited, as he watched the ticket window get closer and closer. He shook his head and said, “Big Brother, let’s get on the train and sleep overnight. We’ll be there. Trust me.”

After waiting in line for who knows how long, it was finally their turn.

“Auntie, please give us two tickets to Qingfeng Town in Zoucheng by train,” Xiao Bao said.

He could read characters early, and he was particularly curious about train tickets. He carefully looked at the stations on his grandma’s train ticket and even asked Grandma what kind of place Qingfeng Town was. Grandma said it was Qingfeng Town in Zoucheng, adjacent to our city area, and Xiao Bao remembered it immediately.

The ticket counter was quite high, and the ticket seller was not immediately visible. They peeked out and saw two little ones who couldn’t reach the counter. Surprised, the seller asked, “Why are you buying tickets? Where are your parents?”

Xiao Bao held his head high and said sincerely, “My father and mother have gone to the hospital. Can you sell us the tickets first? We are going to Qingfeng Town to see our aunt, and we have money with us.”

Xiao Bao handed all the New Year’s money in his small backpack to the ticket seller’s aunt in one go.

Seeing that the two children were polite and articulate, the ticket seller didn’t doubt them. Assuming that the adults might have gone to the hospital temporarily due to some discomfort and left the two kids to buy tickets, she asked Xiao Bao. “Where is your introduction letter? Have you brought it? “

Xiao Bao was suddenly at a loss. He glanced at Da Bao, as Grandma hadn’t mentioned the introduction letter to him. Xiao Bao tried hard to remember if Grandma had mentioned giving the introduction letter to the ticket seller’s auntie.

Xiao Bao could only say, “We forgot to bring it. Can you sell us the tickets first?”

These days, ticket sellers’ attitudes weren’t usually very good, but upon seeing these two clever and adorable kids, she unusually explained, “I can’t do that. You need an introduction letter from a group or organization to that place to buy tickets. Wait for the adults to bring the letter, then buy. You don’t need to queue again, just come directly here.”

The ticket seller withdrew her head and said, “Next, please.”

The people behind Xiao Bao and Da Bao said, “Kids, step aside. Go find your parents and come back to buy later.”

Xiao Bao felt especially disheartened, dragging Da Bao to the side. “Da Bao, I didn’t remember we needed an introduction letter. Grandma didn’t say anything about it.”

Da Bao actually breathed a sigh of relief and said, “There are too many people here. Why don’t we go back before our parents notice?”

Xiao Bao is unwilling and has already walked to the train station. As long as he gets on the train, he can go to his aunt’s house. He didn’t want to go back.

Xiaobao tried to recall for a moment and said, “Didn’t the ticket seller’s aunt just say that the introduction letter from the brigade would suffice?”

Da Bao nodded. “That’s what she said.”

Xiaobao’s eyes lit up. “Then there’s a way.”

Da Bao looked at him cautiously and said, “What do you want to do?”

As Xiao Bao spoke, he pulled Da Bao out and said, “Have you forgotten that our grandfather is the head of the production team? He must have issued introduction letters to many people. Let’s go back and look for one, see what it looks like, and get one before coming back, right?”

Dabao tightened his grip on Xiaobao’s hand. “Do you still want to go? Can’t we just not go?”

Xiao Bao shook his head. “No, grandma lied first. She promised to take us to Aunt’s house together. If she doesn’t take us, we’ll figure it out ourselves.”

Two little guys left the train station, unaware that there was a man and a woman following them behind.

The two followed Dabao and Xiaobao to a less crowded area. The woman approached them and said, “Kids, do you want to buy train tickets? Give the money to Aunty, and Aunty will help you buy them, okay?”

Dabao and Xiaobao held hands, the other hand clutching their small backpack tightly, and Xiaobao asked, “Do you have an introduction letter?”

The woman said, “Of course, I have it. I have all sorts of introduction letters. Give me the money, and I’ll help you buy them.”

Xiao Bao knew immediately that she was lying because the ticket seller’s aunt had said they needed an introduction letter to that specific place. She hadn’t even asked where they were going, so claiming to have an introduction letter meant she was a fraud.

The man behind them said, “Why talk so much nonsense? Hurry up.”

Before the man could finish speaking, Xiao Bao had already grabbed Da Bao and ran away, shouting loudly, “Uncle Red Guard, there are bad guys here who deceive children. Come and catch the bad guys!”

When Xiaobao shouted, whether Uncle Red Guard came or not was unclear, but everyone around turned to look. The man and woman, sensing the situation wasn’t in their favor, quickly ran away.

Su Zhenzhong and Zhang Chunying, who had just come out of the hospital, happened to see this scene. They glanced at each other, and Su Zhenzhong hurried over to stop the two running children. “Da Bao, Xiao Bao, what are you doing here?

As soon as Dabao and Xiaobao heard the voice, they knew they were in trouble like they got caught red-handed! “
