《I am the ex-wife of the cannon fodder in the chronology [80s]》Untitled Part 17

Li Yulan really didn't expect Sun Yajing to give her money.
Gu Kang and Sun Yajing, one is a staff member of the government agency and the other is a staff member of the Education Bureau. They both have decent jobs and their incomes are good, but not too high.
Eight hundred dollars is not a small amount.
She froze for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law..." Sun Yajing couldn't help but stuff the envelope into Li Yulan's arms, and said with an angry smile, "You can't be too little
!"
Without seeming reluctance, Li Yulan swallowed her refusal.
It's not that she wants the 800 yuan. The situation of Sun Yajing's family is different from that of Li Yumei. Her refusal at this moment will not only arouse suspicion but also hurt people.
"Then I'll accept it. Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Yulan took the envelope with a smile on her face.
"Gu Kang and Xiao Shen are two brothers who are kissing each other, so they have to help each other, right?" Sun Yajing said in a scene.
No matter if Sun Yajing is true or false, when everyone thinks that her family is in distress, she can lend a helping hand, and they must remember this feeling.
Since they said they went to the toilet, Sun Yajing and Li Yulan actually went to the toilet, and when they came back, it was almost time for the ticket check.
Sure enough, no one from the Li and Gu families came again, and the Gu Kang family sent the Gu Shen family to the platform.
The train ticket was a hard sleeper ticket that Gu Shen got from a friend a few days ago
.
The hard sleeper car is not as crowded as the hard seat side. Li Yulan took Da Bao to the car and found their seats, and Gu Shen followed him with something.
As soon as Dabao arrived at their bunk, he immediately lay down by the window and looked at the platform outside.
After Li Yulan stepped forward to help him open the window, Dabao immediately stood on tiptoe and stuck out half of his head to talk to Gu Yuanyuan outside.
The county where they are located is only a small station, and the train does not stop for too long.
Not long after Gu Shen got up and put his things away, the green leather train started to move forward slowly.
Until the platform outside was no longer visible, the family sat back again.
Dabao was still lying by the window, his mouth wide open looking at the passing scenery outside.
After Li Yulan sat down, she remembered something, took out the envelope that Sun Yajing just gave her from her arms, and said to Gu Shen, "This is what my sister-in-law just gave me."
Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, took over and looked at it. , returned it to her, and said, "Then you can keep it and return it to them later."
Li Yulan thought so too, so she collected the money.
......
The train at this time looks fresh, but it is very uncomfortable if you really sit up and sit for a short time.
It was swaying along the way, and the weather was getting warmer, and there was an unpleasant smell in the car.

Dabao was very excited at first, either looking out the window or exploring around in the hard sleeper carriage. But after a few hours, he began to feel bored
and asked from time to time, "Mom, how long until we get there?" After Li Yulan and Dabao said they had to do it for two or three hours, Dabao's small face immediately collapsed. Seeing that his son was really bored, and he didn't want him running around in the carriage to disturb Li Yulan's rest, he took the initiative to pick him up and said, "I'll take him to the hard seat, it's more lively there, you can rest for a while. ." Li Yulan was indeed tired, so she agreed. Li Yulan squinted for a while, but after waking up, she hadn't seen Gu Shen and his son come back.
She leaned halfway against the iron partition of the seat to refresh herself, and glanced at the time again. If there was no delay, she would be in the provincial capital in about half an hour.
Just thinking about it, at the other end of the carriage, Gu Shen came back with Dabao in his arms.
Dabao ran to Li Yulan as soon as his feet landed, his two small arms wrapped around her waist, his ears were placed on her stomach, and he said, "Mom, I'm back!"
Li Yulan squeezed his face and said with a smile, "In Are you having fun over there?"
Dabao nodded, there were other children with him in the carriage on the hard seat side, he played with them, and Dad was chatting with others, so it wasn't so boring.
The family of three sat in the hard sleeper car for a while.
The train was delayed for almost an hour, and the three finally got off the train at the provincial capital train station at 6 or 7 o'clock in the afternoon.
The provincial railway station is much more stylish than their county town. Dabao looked around in surprise with his black and white eyes, and from time to time asked Gu Shen what it was and what it was.
The train ticket to S City was bought here, and the fastest one could only buy tomorrow's flight, and the family stayed in this provincial capital for one night.
After being bumpy at the train station for a long time, the three of them didn't have any appetite. After having dinner at a random restaurant, they went straight to the guest house to open a room and prepare for a good night's rest.
They had already taken into account the situation along the way, and they had all the things they carried with them. The three of them had a good time taking a bath, which could be considered a refreshing rest.
But Gu Shen didn't rest with Li Yulan and Dabao. After he instructed Li Yulan to close the door, he went out again.
For no other reason, he has to buy a train ticket to S city tomorrow.
At this time, it is not convenient to buy train tickets. You have to go to the train station to line up to buy them, and you can't buy them in different places. You can only buy them at the station of the departure station.

Li Yulan was pregnant, she was very tired and fell asleep early.
I woke up once in the middle, and I didn't check the time, but it was already very late, and Gu Shen hadn't come back yet.
Li Yulan couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
Gu Shen has often run outside in recent years, and has never told her that it is hard. Although Li Yulan knows that earning money is definitely not easy, but after experiencing it, she feels different.
The road from their county town to S City was already very bad, not to mention that they still sat in hard sleepers all the way, and stayed in a guest house for one night in the middle.
If you patronize Shen alone, he will definitely not be so particular about it.
Hard sleeper tickets are hard to buy. He probably took the hard seat directly in order to save trouble and money. When the ticket source is tight, it is possible to have no seat.
There is also a hostel here. If it wasn't for the fact that she was pregnant and had a small child like Dabao, if she patronized Shen alone, he would have been at the train station for one night, like most people today. ......
Li Yulan thought about this and that, and then fell asleep drowsily.
When she woke up the next day, Gu Shen also woke up early, she still didn't know when he came back last night.
Gu Shen bought the afternoon ticket.
It is farther from the provincial capital to S city than from their county to the provincial capital. If you buy early, it will be night when you arrive at the edge. It is better to buy later, and it is more convenient to arrive at the edge during the day.
Since it was an afternoon ticket, it meant that they could stay in the provincial capital for a while in the morning.
Now that they have come, Gu Shen and Li Yulan will not waste their time in the hostel, so their family of three, together with the little guy in Li Yulan's stomach, went to visit the provincial capital together.
Provincial capitals are much more prosperous than their small county towns, with many tall and grand buildings, spacious roads, and even all kinds of shops along the roadside.
Dabao's little head lay on Gu Shen's shoulder and asked curiously, "Dad, is S city as beautiful as the provincial capital?"
He still remembered that they were going to S City.
Gu Shen weighed his little butt up, smiled and said, "Of course, the S city is even more beautiful."
Dabao couldn't help but "wow": "Really?" All
morning , is the most fun for Dabao to play.
He saw a lot of things he had never seen before, and ate a lot of delicious food, not to mention how happy he was.
But in the afternoon, when they came to the provincial railway station again, Dabao's bun face immediately wrinkled, nestled in Li Yulan's arms and reluctantly said: "Mom, do we still want to take the train? This time How long will it take?"
At this moment, Da Bao is no longer as excited as he was about to take the train yesterday.
"Well, I still have to sit, don't be afraid, we'll be there after a sleep." Li Yulan comforted him.
"Just think about going to S city tomorrow when you open your eyes, won't you be happy?" Gu Shen also smiled, and by the way handed each of them one that he had just bought from outside the train station and had been washed with clean water. Fresh yellow peach.
Dabao took a bite of the sweet yellow peach, and thought with a bulging face: Forget it, since Mom and Dad have said this, then he can bear it for a while, isn't it just taking the train? He can!
The yellow peach in Dabao's hand couldn't be eaten without two bites, and Gu Shen didn't dislike it. He took a few bites of the pitted peach he bit and finished it.
After a while, they got into the car with their things again.
I still bought a hard sleeper, and it was not in vain that Gu Shen queued up for so long last night.
The hard sleeper carriage to S City is much more lively than the hard sleeper carriage from the small county town before.
After Dabao got in the car, he didn't have to ask Gu Shen to go to the hard seat car to find someone to play with, as he did yesterday.
There was also a little boy with a big head and a head, about the same age as Dabao, in the carriage.
The little boy and his mother's bunk was not far from Gu Shen and the others, and they also went to S City. The two little boys started talking as soon as they met, and soon went hand in hand to play together.
Seeing that Dabao could find a playmate, Li Yulan didn't stop her, at most let Gu Shen watch it. There are many people on this train, and there are not many people who kidnap and sell children. They must be careful.
But the two children didn't have much time to play, and it soon became dark outside.
Before long, the lights in the sleeper had to be turned off. Li Yulan called Dabao back and told him that it was time to wash up and sleep with her father.
Although Dabao was a little unfulfilled, he obediently followed Gu Shen to wash up.
After washing up, Li Yulan was pregnant again because of the limited space in the sleeper. She was afraid that Dabao would accidentally kick her stomach while sleeping, so Gu Shen took Dabao to sleep together.
It didn't take long for the lights in the sleeper to go out, and the carriage became pitch black, only the moonlight kept jumping through the windows.
There were still people talking in the carriage at first, but gradually the voices became smaller and smaller, until they gradually fell silent, and there was only the sound of the wheels running over the rails.
With this sound, the people in the carriage slowly fell asleep.
The night passed, and when the dim morning light was revealed, the green-skinned train gradually approached its next stop.
S City, a city that has displaced countless people from their homes.

Raul The Reality-Reshaper
Raul Medrano had believed he was a normal human his entire life until the day he turned 21. The night before his 21st birthday he had a strange dream and acquired something dubbed a "system" that swore it would help him adjust to his status as a "higher being" and a "reality reshaper". And so began Raul's life as an immensely powerful adventurer who has and uses a variety of powers to change his world, and the grander omniverse for the better. This story features an overpowered protagonist who meets and faces off against other overpowered entities, but it begins with the protagonist in a small world where he swiftly becomes one of the big dogs so conflict, in the beginning, isn't going to be especially challenging. This story also mixes elements from my own distinct setting, the multiverse in which "A Solitary God" takes place, with elements from the settings created by people over on the NSFW CYOA (Choose your own adventure) subreddit, such as TroyxPage, and specific CYOAs such as "Goddess of Mankind" and "Love Azathoth" into one distinct, wholly original story. When relevant I'll post links to the CYOAs a chapter references in the author's notes section. Image credit: I got the image for the cover from Pixabay. This story was posted originally on ScribbleHub and will continue to be posted both there and elsewhere.

The Swarm
Anthony had been looking forward to playing the hottest new virtual reality game. When he put the VR helmet on he was met with a prompt asking him if he wanted to take a test to become a swarm knight. Thinking that this was one of the classes in the game he accepted. Instead of finding himself in the game, Anthony found that he was transported to a different planet. A planet where he would learn the greater truth of the universe. Everything was based on magic in the universe. Except that magic was based on nanorobots, called the swarm, that had been created through highly advanced technology. Genetics determined the access level and the amount of control that someone could wield over the swarm, and therefore their status in this society. Long ago Earth had been cutoff from the swarm. Now that it had been rediscovered, Earth would be reintegrated into the swarm. Unfortunately when that happened all the current technology on Earth would fail and be replaced with the ability to use magic. In effect, it would be the system apocalypse. As someone able to control the swarm, Anthony found himself in the unique position to influence how Earth was reintegrated into the swarm. Perhaps he could change things enough to save most of the people on Earth. But first he would have to learn how to control the swarm and become one of the leaders in the society he found himself in. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it somewhere between PG-13 and R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, and nudity.
