A snicker came from the back seat, and beside him Shu Jiao also gave him a disapproving look. Ruan Jianguo immediately felt he had lost face, but one can't snap at the wife, though the son is fair game.
He lectured Ruan Jie at length, luckily Ruan Jie was used to it, or else he would indeed start questioning his life choices.
The group continued on their way to Changling, chatting and laughing merrily.
The winter roads were tough for driving. The train was scheduled for just after five in the evening, and the Ruan family had set off at nine in the morning. A journey that normally took three to four hours had today taken them five or six.
Fortunately, the train was scheduled for later, otherwise, they wouldn't have made it at all.
When they arrived in Changling, it was a little past three in the afternoon. Everyone was tired after sitting in the car for so long, and Ruan Jiaojiao was especially drowsy, so once they got off the car, Ruan Jie carried her on his back.
