Chapter 8 Taking the Train
The green train was extremely crowded, with luggage and poultry piled in the aisle. People who bought station tickets had no place to sit and had to stand in the aisle.
Zhou Wenfang covered her nose and said, "It's too crowded. Fortunately, we bought a sleeper berth."
The four people's tickets were originally not together, only Shen Xunbao and Su Qingyue were next to each other.
Zhou Wenfang rolled her eyes and said, "Qianqian, let's find someone to switch seats together so that we can take care of each other."
Su Qianqian secretly glanced at Shen Xunbao and nodded shyly.
The two of them looked for someone to change seats.
Su Qingyue looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, her head nodding down like a chicken pecking at rice.
Shen Xunbao's voice was gentle, "If you feel sleepy, just lie down and sleep. I'm fine at the moment."
Su Qingyue yawned, "Then I'll replace you later."
Su Qingyue lay down with her back closed and her eyes closed. Outsiders said that Shen Xunbao held her in his hands and cherished her, but only Su Qingyue knew that he actually didn't love her at all.
Gentleman Shen Xunbao is polite, gentle and handsome, and is the dream object of many girls.
Su Qingyue thought this way once upon a time, but she always felt that there was a veil on Shen Xunbao that she couldn't see or touch. As soon as she approached, Shen Xunbao would push him away irritably.
After a few times, Su Qingyue realized that this man didn't like her, and she was going to make it clear to Shen Xunbao that since there was no relationship between the two, it was better to call off the marriage.
That time she was waiting for someone in Shen Xunbao's study and accidentally saw a letter.
Su Qingyue's pupils widened and she froze for a moment, unable to say a word for a long time.
It wasn't until there were footsteps outside that she adjusted her breathing and pretended to be her normal smiling self.
After that, she realized that Shen Xunbao was using her as a cover.
He needs this marriage and an obedient wife.
But what Su Qingyue wants is a pure and true love, and she must not sacrifice her marriage for the benefit of others.
So she will never marry Shen Xunbao.
At that time, Su Qianqian returned to the city, and Su Qingyue said that she was willing to break off the engagement and let Su Qianqian marry into the Shen family.
"I have discussed with your father that if Shen Xunbao likes you, don't mention it. It will be difficult to explain to the Shen family." Song Qingyan refused at the time.
Su Qingyue thought it would be better to find a chance to talk to Shen Xunbao when going to the countryside
She drifted off to sleep thinking about it.
Su Qianqian went to other carriages to change seats. The carriage was too crowded, and she asked five or six people in a row who were unwilling to change seats.
Su Qianqian became even more depressed when she thought of the scene where Shen Xunbao and Su Qingyue were alone and talking happily.
At this time, she happened to be stepped on by a girl standing in the aisle, and her pent-up anger exploded instantly. She shouted in a high voice: "Hey! Why are you stepping on me?"
The girl wearing glasses looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, comrade, I was just pulled by someone's pigtails. I looked back and accidentally stepped on you."
Su Qianqian scolded angrily, "You are so ugly, who would pull your pigtails!"
"Also, I'm sorry and forget it? These shoes cost sixty yuan! Can you afford to pay for them?"
Dai Xiaohong was stunned and her face turned the color of pig liver. She had never seen what sixty yuan looked like. He muttered, "Are your shoes broken?"
The onlookers looked at Su Qianqian's feet. They were a pair of small dark red leather shoes, shiny with oil, and there was indeed a footprint on the instep.
"The shoes are not broken, but you will lose money if you step on them?"
"Besides, I've already apologized, but I'm still so arrogant."
Yuan Guang and Pei Huaiye carried out a secret mission yesterday. Pei Huaiye blocked a knife for him. The old and new injuries combined with the others now have a low fever.
He was going to get hot water and medicine for Pei Huaiye, and happened to meet this incident.
Yuan Guang couldn't see it, so he said something to the girl wearing glasses, "Comrade, please calm down, the train is crowded, there is nothing you can do, let's understand each other."
Su Qianqian was even more angry when several people spoke to her at the same time, with a sharp and mean tone, "Are you having an affair with her, that's why you are helping me to talk!" Yuan Guang angrily rushed up, "Comrade, you can eat whatever you want. Don’t talk nonsense!
Most of the people on this train are educated youths going to the countryside. You must be the same, right?
Judging from your dress, you must have a good family background and must have received education. Why are the words coming out of your mouth so ugly?
May I have your name? Which commune are you going to? ”
Everyone gathered around Su Qianqian to accuse her. She blushed, ashamed and angry, and said, "My name is Su Qingyue, and I want to go to Xichuan Shuangqiao Commune!" and ran away in a hurry.
Dai Xiaohong thanked everyone and Yuan Guang, and Yuan Guang waved his hand.
He took the water and returned to the carriage, lowering his voice and angrily telling Pei Huaiye the scene.
Pei Huaiye threw the medicine into his mouth, raised his head and drank water, "Isn't Shuangqiao Commune our village?"
"I'm just angry. How could such a domineering and powerless educated youth like Su Qingyue be assigned to our village? It's really unlucky!"
Pei Huaiye smiled mischievously, "Go and speak to the village chief and arrange the heaviest work for her."
Yuan Guang chuckled, "As expected of Brother Pei."
Su Qingyue herself, who was four or five carriages away from them, sneezed twice at this moment.
As dusk falls, the train clangs and clangs as it moves forward.
It was just dinner time, and everyone took out dry food from their bags. Most of them ate corn and steamed buns, and if possible, they also took out non-staple food such as steamed buns, chicken cakes, and biscuits.
Zhou Wenfang and Su Qianqian finally spent money to change the sleeper berth to one opposite Su Qingyue and Shen Xunbao.
Shen Qianqian sat up and took out the White Rabbit toffees and pastries to share with Zhou Wenfang.
Shen Xunbao had just returned from receiving the hot water, and Zhou Wenfang boldly asked, "Shen Xunbao, do you want to eat chicken cake?"
Shen Xunbao shook his head, "I brought food, you can eat."
Zhou Wenfang and Su Qianqian were both talking quietly to each other, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at the lower bunk opposite.
Su Qingyue woke up early in the upper bunk. The sweet smell of bread and candies made her a little hungry.
As soon as he sat up, Shen Xunbao handed over the brewed malted milk and a piece of bread, "Drink it, and eat the bread to cushion your stomach."
Su Qingyue took the thing and smiled, "Thank you, have you eaten?"
"I just ate it."
Shen Xunbao waited for Su Qingyue to finish eating and then went to wash the cup.
Zhou Wenfang said in a strange tone, "Su Qingyue, Shen Xunbao is so kind to you."
Su Qianqian rolled her eyes, "That's Su Qingyue's fiancé, who will be nice to her?"
Su Qingyue was loosening her braids, and her black hair spread out like seaweed, making her tofu-like skin even whiter and more tender.
She raised her eyes and said in an innocent and naive tone, "Yes, I am so lucky to meet such a good man like Shen Xunbao."
Zhou Wenfang choked, and Su Qianqian became even more furious. They both stopped answering and turned over to sleep.
Su Qingyue, who was out of sight of them, curved her mouth, with a trace of mischief hidden in her clear eyes.
Shen Xunbao filled a cup of hot water, turned around and collided head-on with a man wearing a hat. When he saw the man's face clearly, his face instantly darkened.
Shen Xunbao growled, "Why are you here?!"
Qiao Wang smiled sarcastically, "Why else? Your mother is afraid that Young Master Shen is not used to the countryside, so she asked me to work as a cow and a horse for you."
"I'm warning you."
Qiao Wang carelessly pulled the collar out of Shen Xunbao's hands, "Are you angry now? This is not the only thing I have done for Master Shen."
"I don't want to come either, but you look so gentle, can you hoe weeds or cut wheat? Do you really lie down all day without working? If Commander Shen finds out about you, can you still be Master Shen in the future?"
A series of questions left Shen Xunbao speechless, and he was immediately discouraged, "Then don't mess around."
Qiao Wang pushed the brim of his hat down, "I'll find you after I get settled."
