Chapter 36 - Arrival (1)
The green train back in the 90s was very different than the high-speed rail in the future. First of all, the air quality was awful. They had barely just sat down when those on the side started smoking and eating breakfast. Some of them even took their shoes off. The messy hallway was saturated with the smell of body odor, stinky feet, and cigarette smoke along with the smell of food.
Shu Yan got close to a small window and took a breath. Luckily, the windows could be opened. Otherwise, she just might vomit.
Shu Yan had purchased the map of the entire country and studied it before their departure. She had decided that their destination would be City Nan when they departed City Xi.
She was thirty years old in her original life, but she would not consider herself as someone very experienced. She moved back home after graduating college and moved back to the college city after two years. Even the job that she had was not a very challenging one with an income that was just about enough to cover all of her expenses. She had gone through her life aimlessly.
If it was just her, it didn’t matter where she went. But now that she has two kids in tow, she must put them first when she made any decisions.
She had picked the city which she attended college in. Mainly because she was already familiar with that place. Even though where she was now was a parallel universe of where she was from, the history wasn’t really that different. It was still the same earth and the same country. The location names might be different, but the geographical location was the same.
There were many variations when it came to small details, but not much in terms of big directions. For example, City Nan was still a super tier one city. It has the same geographical advantages that it offered; nothing could change that. The details within City Nan might have altered, for example, the subway routes might be different, or some places were to be taken down in her own world, but not in this one.
Of course, these were just Shu Yan’s speculations. It could be that this world wasn’t even that much different than her own. What she knew for certain was that she could just buy a few houses in City Nan randomly and when the wave of force eviction takes place later on, she’d be compensated with ten or twenty of them in return...
The cost of houses in City Nan would become astronomical in the future. If she invested in real estate now, all she needed to do was to stay home and count her money. How exciting would that be?
“Mommy, I want to pee,” said Ye Tianbao softly.
Perhaps because he was still very traumatized from the last time he saw Ye Zhiqiang, he had been behaving very well lately. A noisy child was a headache, but when they are too quiet, one would worry that something was wrong with them. As the saying goes, kids were placed on earth to collect the debt that you owed them. Shu Yan believed that saying deeply now.
Public safety wasn’t very good back in those days. Shu Yan dared not leave Ye Jingjing at the seat by herself. Carrying Ye Tianbao in one arm and holding Ye Jingjing’s hand with her other, they headed toward the bathroom.
“Mom, our bag?” Ye Jingjing wanted to grab their bag.
“No need. It is just a few old clothes inside. Let’s go.” Everything that mattered was in her inner pocket.
