Chapter 28 On the train
Not to mention that Mao Qianjin, who was always smiling, became angry with a stern face. Just the two thick eyebrows full of joy and frowning together were very bluffing.
As he roared out, not to mention the three adults and one child in this carriage who did not dare to breathe loudly, even the people in the next few carriages leaned out one after another, with fear and concern in their eyes. I can't help but want to watch the excitement.
"I'm sorry, comrade, my baby was so naughty and soiled your bed. How about I change with you?"
The couple brought a seven or eight-year-old child with them. The child and the husband appear to be gentle and polite.
My wife has the most fashionable curly hair in Shanghai, and wears bright red lipstick on her mouth. She habitually squints her eyes when looking at people, full of a sense of superiority.
"What are you making all the fuss about? There are no children who are not naughty and mischievous. I didn't take this thing from you, so why don't you put it away properly? It seems rare..."
"Original Hongmei!"
"Why did I say something wrong? How many adults have to argue with a child!"
Looking at the parents huddled behind, they also made faces at the three of them from time to time. The child was still provoking "yueyueyue", and Mao Qianjin's fist made a crunching sound.
Zhang Ze, who was also sullen, replied coldly: "No." Thinking of the incident many years ago, he couldn't help but raise his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him silently.
Taking a deep breath, Mao Qianjin walked forward without saying a word, and sat down without paying attention to the footprints on the sheet.
With the bright footprints on it, he couldn't tell it was a child from that size. It was because of this knowledge that I couldn't control the anger that suddenly rose in my heart.
He twitched his lips in self-mockery. Sure enough, he still couldn't let it go or forget it.
So he has no plans to start a family and have children, because he no longer has any tolerance for children... he is not worthy.
"Brother Zhang?"
Seeing the vague look in his eyes as he handed him over, he shook his head silently. Suning nodded in understanding and asked no more questions.
"Ningning, you sleep on the lower bunk, and I will sleep on the middle bunk above."
"Okay."
Zhang Ze was not in a hurry to get up, it was a noon train It was extremely hot inside with a large steamer, and there were all kinds of unspeakable smells, so I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to.
He walked next to Mao Qianjin and swung his butt, forcing him to squeeze to the edge, while he sat carelessly in the spacious seat in the middle.
At this time, the wise man had already asked his wife and children to climb onto his bunk. When it was his turn, he reached for the iron railing shelf next to him and apologized profusely to the two sitting people.
As for the wife who muttered and scolded Sang Huai from time to time, she was very experienced and just ignored her.
Having just experienced separation and encountered such an unpleasant incident, Suning rubbed the corners of her eyes that were swollen from crying and sat down on the bed opposite the two of them.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao, give me the opened small bag."
It is said that it is a small bag only compared to their other luggage, but in fact it is not close to small at all.
Li Hehua was afraid that the food on the train would not be to her liking, so she prepared a lot of food, fearing that all the stock in the kitchen at home would be used up.
Fortunately, before leaving, she secretly left a lot of grains and vegetables, and even fruits, two or three that were common in season, weighing ten kilograms each.
In order to have a reasonable excuse, I ran out several times in front of them. When I came back, I took either several large snakeskin bags or a large suitcase with me. I just said it was this trip. Necessities for traveling far away.
When she actually left, she had already replaced her clothes with clothes and quilts that had been prepared in the space to hide people’s eyes.
——Grandpa Fu and the others will probably be shocked when they see it when they get home, right?
Suning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he thought of the two of them chatting in Yingying's small pavilion.
Inside the opened bag were several boxes of aluminum lunch boxes. Just smelling it had a strong smell of chives and pork. When I opened it, I saw that it was full of dumplings.
In addition to the dumplings in the lunch box, there are also a dozen scallion pancakes wrapped in oil paper and about twenty tea eggs.
“Gudong~”
I don’t know who started swallowing hard again and again. "Mom dumplings, dumplings, I want to eat dumplings!"
"Ugh, it's so damn delicious. Are these pork-flavored dumplings? Oh my, this smell makes me want to die. Ah! ”
“It’s so shameless to take a train and show off, isn’t it just a pork dumpling? It looks like no one has ever eaten it before!”
“… …”
Immediately, everyone who smelled this fragrance couldn't help it, and there were not a few who were so envious that their eyes turned red.
There were also those who were smarter and responded quickly. They immediately took out their dry food rations and gnawed them hard. They closed their eyes tightly and had an indescribable satisfaction on their faces.
“Sister-in-law’s craftsmanship is still so good!”
Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin also swept away their inexplicable low moods and looked at the pot of white and fat dumplings with flooded eyes.
"Ningning, let's eat this now? Don't save it for dinner?"
"Eat it while it's still warm. Auntie also made mushroom hot sauce. I'll pick it up from the dining car in the evening. It’s good to eat it as a meal.”
“Sure, listen to Ningning!”
Pull out three tea eggs and put them in the lunch box in his hand. Suning gave them to each of them. I was handed a box of dumplings and a tea egg.
If it hadn't been for the previous one, the three of them would have been a little embarrassed, and they would have definitely shared some with the people in the same carriage.
Now... I just focus on eating.
No one pretended to have heard the jumping and crying child in the upper bunk, as well as the woman's yelling and yelling.
Mao Qianjin was even more ill-intentioned. He was extremely childish and praised him in various intoxicating ways while eating, which made his superiors cry even louder.
It can be seen that he really hates this naughty kid.
Su Ning and Zhang Ze looked at each other, dumbfounded, and at the same time chose to close their upper eyes, mouth and ears protectively.
"That...comrade."
Lying on the other upper bunk above Suning's head was a young man in his twenties.
A white short-sleeved shirt is worn over a military green vest. He has a neat crew cut and regular facial features, which is the most popular Chinese character face nowadays.
“Can I exchange you for a few dumplings or a tea egg?”
Wu Ming made the request cautiously. Although he was a little embarrassed, he couldn’t help it anymore. One bite will make you scratch your head and lungs all night long!
Li Hehua stuffed a box of thirty or forty dumplings, which Suning could not finish even if he was hungry for two meals.
Rather than saving it for another meal or even the next meal, it’s better to kill two birds with one stone.
So after hearing what he said, Suning hesitated for less than a minute and nodded happily.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Hearing her promise, Wu Ming was so happy that he thanked her repeatedly and immediately turned over quickly holding his army green crossbody bag.
Not only did he give me enough food stamps, he also enthusiastically gave me some biscuits and pastries I brought with me.
After lunch, the people who met by chance became obviously familiar with each other. Not only did they briefly exchange their names, but they also chatted about where they were going.
Especially when I learned that he had just gone to the cemetery to sweep the tomb, and this time he was preparing to return to his hometown in southern Hunan to work.
Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin, who still have deep feelings for the army, have a growing affection for him because of his status as LS family members.
