The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 159

　　Mu Yongxue went south and didn't want to take his child with him, but it was cold in Beijing, and his youngest son was weak and couldn't stand the cold. The doctor said it was better to stay in a warmer place.

　　Although he thought it was troublesome to take the child with him, he still loved the child, so he took his youngest son Mu Changcai with him, and his daughter Mu Changyue wanted to go, so she did the same.

　　The two children on the left and right are still young, so even if they miss a few days of school, it is okay.

　　Of course, the second son, Mu Changming, did not take him with him. He was asked to stay in Beijing to study and be taken care of by his uncle.

　　Mu Yongxue's family took the train from Beijing and arrived in Tianjin first.

　　It took six hours for this journey. Mu Changyue and Mu Changcai, who were interested in the journey at the beginning, were already listless at this time.

　　However, when they first arrived in Tianjin, they got off the train to eat something and take a rest, and then they had to board the train again, this time they had to sit for two days and two nights.

　　After the two children got on the train, they were unhappy and became emotional.

　　Their family is in Beijing and employs several servants. The servants usually take care of the daily life of the two children. Lu Qitong is only responsible for instructing the servants to let them do this and that.

　　Therefore, when going to Shanghai this time, Lu Qitong originally wanted to bring the servants with her to take care of the children, but the train tickets were too expensive.

　　From Beijing to Shanghai, excluding other intermediate expenses, the train ticket alone costs forty to fifty yuan for a single trip.

　　They are a family of four, with two children living in a sleeping berth at half the price. It costs 300 yuan to buy train tickets for two trips. Even though their family is rich now, at such a price, it is impossible to bring a servant on the road.

　　After all, a few yuan is enough to hire someone after arriving in Shanghai.

　　But without a servant, Lu Qitong was required to coax the children.

　　The two children need to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom... Although they bought a sleeper ticket, which is much more comfortable than a hard seat, Lu Qitong can't bear the torment.

　　She doesn't have a helper -- Mu Yongxue has always ignored these things and doesn't understand them. When the two children quarreled, he would go out with a book and talk to others.

　　The only thing he did along the way was to buy some local specialties from the hawkers who flocked up to sell things to coax the children every time he arrived at a station, such as buying some dates in Shandong, and the roast chicken sold at the station Tea eggs and the like are also very popular among children, and they can save money on meals. He even buys them every time. The food on the train is not bad, even steak, but the price is really not cheap.

　　Speaking of it, it was precisely because taking the train was not cheap that when Zhu Wanwan, Mu Qiong and others were driven back to Suzhou, they would take a boat and a carriage.

　　At this time, the train could not cross the Yangtze River. When they got to Pukou by car, they had to take a boat, and after taking a rest by boat, they had to take a train again...

　　It was relatively slow to drag their families along the road. In order to take care of their two children, they stayed in a hotel on the way. When they finally arrived in Shanghai, five days had passed since their departure.
