"Teacher Zhuang, my family can only go by train, and it should be sitting in the hard seats," Xie Wanying answered.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhuang sighed. It was very tough to travel to the Capital by train, as it was extremely far from here. If her son hadn't bought her a plane ticket, the journey would have been too exhausting, which is also why she didn't come back to Songyuan City before.
In those days, without high-speed trains, it took a full twenty-six hours to travel from Songyuan to the Capital by train, not including the bus ride to the provincial capital to catch the train. Xie Wanying's journey in pursuit of her education was actually very arduous.
The image of the young doctor she had seen at the entrance of the city's Third Hospital the other night flashed through Xie Wanying's mind; people like him could get into a sedan and catch a plane back to the Capital incredibly fast.
