Chapter 279 Blizzard, the train will be delayed
The smell of rice porridge was exuding in the carriage. Lingxi’s eyes lit up, and she looked in the direction and saw a little girl she found somewhere in the middle of the carriage. The stove has a steamer on it.
If the estimate is correct, it should be the buns they made yesterday morning.
Pei Yu explained when he saw her eyes falling on the stove.
“When the flight attendant came to deliver hot water early in the morning, the train conductor came with him. He was quite talkative and talked about things that you had seen when you went back to the capital.
The conductor and I replaced the stove and used two kilograms of dried noodles.
After the New Year, it will be the 60th year, which is the most difficult time. Even the train conductor lacks fine food.
Pei Yu brought two kilograms of noodles and only needed one stove and one basket of coal. What a simple thing.
Lingxi thought for a while.
“It should be the one we took when we went to the capital last time, and we also took the train at this time.
They took good care of us last time and said hello, so I guess they might do the same this time. "
"No wonder..."
Pei Yu and Uncle Pei had almost guessed it before. Pei Yanning knew that they were coming and would definitely report the application to the superiors. Someone would arrange the train in advance, about Just get the news in advance , maybe someone who has a good relationship with Pei Yanning.
And this train conductor must have been warned.
As for recognizing Lingxi, he probably looked at the passengers. The information is probably something else.
Not bad at all.
At the same time, Uncle Pei and the old man were standing on the other side of the car window looking out, their faces a little solemn. When they saw Lingxi coming down, their expressions softened.
Moving the rectangular table, preparing to set the meal, and at the same time dismantling Minghui's small bed to use as a chair.
Lingxi quickly finished cleaning up.
For breakfast, we had white porridge, steamed buns, pickles, and a few small ones with Lingxi, and one of us also heated up an egg.
Without Lingxi and the others talking, children Minghui helped peel off the egg shells one by one, very thoughtfully.
The three little ones were very well-behaved. Each one of them thanked the big brother, and Minghui's little body straightened up more and more each time.
Ling Xi and Pei Yu, who were laughing after a meal, had stiff expressions on their faces.
The old man has always looked cold and expressionless, but Uncle Pei is very calm.
Why is Uncle Pei so calm?
In the past, several boys in the family took care of Lingxi like this, especially Pei Xuan. Pei Xuan was one year older than Lingxi and had been doing this since she was a child. Uncle Pei had laughed a long time ago and was already very calm. .
After dinner——
Minghui had a great time playing with the three little ones by himself. Pei Yu, who had some free time, found a newspaper somewhere and started flipping through it. Uncle Pei stood by the window again and looked at the snow.
Lingxi drank the goat milk slowly and played with it. She told Gu Si and Pei Yanning about the matter and laughed again.
I never thought that when I turned around, I saw the eldest girl painting the steam on the window with her little fingers. I didn’t know whether the painting was of flowers or trees.
Lingxi was so funny that she went over to hug him and gave him a kiss.
“Are you dirty, huh?”
Baby Han Han was excited, but she didn’t expect to hear such words from her own mother. She pursed her lips and turned away. Look at her second uncle.
Pei Yu couldn’t laugh or cry.
“It’s okay, just keep playing.”
As soon as Pei Yu finished speaking, Minghan's little baby immediately showed a big smile, and Pei Yu's heart almost melted. Then he looked at Lingxi and said, "Let her play and wash her off later. We will do it tomorrow." Han is clean and never puts anything in his mouth!"
Lingxi: "..."
As soon as she lowered her head, she saw a little pride on baby Han Han's face! expression.
Lingxi: "..."
! ! ! Is she showing off that her second uncle favors her?
Ling Xi glared at Pei Yu and turned around to recruit foreign aid. She saw that the old man had sat back on the sofa and was flipping through a chess book, while Uncle Pei was still staring out the window.
Lingxi is really curious.
"Second uncle, what are you watching?
You didn't sleep much last night, so you have nothing to do now to get some sleep."
Lingxi remembered that Uncle Pei should have been keeping vigil last night.
Secret Uncle Pei smiled gently, walked back to the stove and sat down.
"Second uncle is fine, it's just that the snow is too heavy."
He was worried that something would happen on the road. If the snow was so heavy that it buried the rails, or something else, That's going to happen.
But this is just a guess with no basis. There is no need to say it now to make them worry.
Pei Yu didn't feel it at first and stood up at this time, and frowned: "Not only is the snow heavy, but the wind is also strong."
There are some things that I just can't help but talk about. The train stopped near noon.
Lingxi thought she had arrived at another station and would stop for a few minutes before leaving.
However——
No!
They stopped in a deserted mountain with no village or shop.
Not long after, the conductor informed each carriage that the snow was too heavy and the tracks were buried in the snow, and the branch roads were frozen. The train could not turn and had to stop, and it had to go down to artificially melt the snow.
Pei Yu sat there for a while, but after thinking about it, he stood up: "Old man, dad, Ling Xi'er, let me go out and see if you need any help."
Pei Yu Yu is not a good person. He has a stove and noodles deal with the train conductor. Now that he has gone there, he is a troublemaker. Next time he takes this train, others will naturally give him some respect.
He has been traveling like this all these years. He comes from all over the world and can make friends wherever he goes.
Uncle Pei waved his hand and let him go.
"You don't have to worry about it here." He and the old man are still here.
With such heavy snow now, the train has to slow down when traveling. If the road freezes when it encounters a fork in the road, the train will have to stop to artificially melt the snow...
It is really troublesome. of!
Second Uncle Pei had a headache. Ling Xi was curious and told her what was going on here. This was the first time he encountered freezing conditions. If he walked further back, he didn’t know how many more times he would encounter him. Know how long the delay will be.
Lingxi was stunned for a moment, understanding what Uncle Pei meant, and her expression became serious.
You must know that there are a lot of supplies on the train.
If it really continues to be delayed like this, it would be nice to be able to stop in the city to resupply on the way. If it is always in the wilderness, then——
This is what Uncle Pei is worried about. They also That's it. Some people are only willing to take a few wavotou with them on some roads, and life is really difficult.
However, I don’t know when the cold outside will melt. Then even if the train starts to move, it will definitely slow down. The train will definitely be late. I guess it is not even a little bit late.
But it didn't matter whether they were worried or not. Lingxi stayed for a while, then stood up and explained her whereabouts to Uncle Pei and the old man.
"I'm going to the bathroom!"
Second Uncle Pei nodded: "Be careful, don't go too far, if you encounter anything, just shout, Second Uncle can hear you."
The bathroom is outside and is shared by the two private rooms.
The private room is just such a big place. If the door is not closed, people can still be seen.
Lingxi nodded.
Know!
