When Qian Yunshuang and Hu Yuelan heard that they could buy food on the train, they were eager to try it, so they asked their mother-in-law.

"Mom, how much more expensive is it?"

Shi Meiling laughed.

"Let me tell you, I actually know this. I heard it from Zhimeng."

Meals on the train cost a few cents a serving, but what's served varies from day to day; sometimes they even have fish pieces! That affects the price.

Qian Yunshuang and Hu Yuelan were relieved and found it acceptable. Since they rarely took the train, they had to try the food on the train at least once.

Just as Qian Yunshuang and Hu Yuelan were about to leave their mother-in-law's room together, Shi Meiling reminded them.

"You all need to carefully calculate your own food supplies, as you'll have to carry them to the capital, otherwise you'll have to borrow money from your own brothers!"

Qian Yunshuang and Hu Yuelan both expressed their opinions.

"Yes, Mother!"

"Mother, I understand now!"

An Baogen took advantage of the fact that they hadn't left the brigade yet and specifically sought out Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai.

"Qingbai, Zhuang Zhiqing, when you go to Beijing, could you buy some books that are useful to our brigade so that we can study them?"

I've been thinking about starting a side business, but I really don't know which kind would be suitable for our brigade. Could you two help us think of one?

Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai exchanged a glance and nodded.

“Okay, Uncle Baogen, we’ll go and check on our brigade when we have time. If we find any suitable books, we’ll buy them. As for side jobs, we’ll try our best to help the brigade figure them out.”

"Uncle Baogen, we'll go see it whenever we have time."

"Okay, I trust you guys to get things done. I'm looking forward to your good news!"

"Okay, Uncle Baogen, we remember that!"

An Baogen waved his hand, smiled, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai exchanged a smile.

"Well, it seems we have quite a few missions to undertake in Beijing!"

"It's because we're both so capable! They all trust us."

"Brother Qingbai, that's a bit arrogant of you!"

"It's alright, I wasn't wrong!"

"Yes, yes, you're right. Let's continue packing and get ready to leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow."

Qin Jiandang drove a large truck over that day.
