Those who don’t know Lao Wang might think that this guy took advantage of his job to enrich himself, otherwise how could he have allowed himself to become so fat?
Lao Wang rolled his eyes. "Others may not know this, but you do. When I was in the army, I never had a full stomach. Even with only half a full stomach all day, I still gained weight compared to others. My weight gain has nothing to do with food; it just proves that I have a broad mind."
The conductor rolled his eyes and said he was so tolerant, but this guy was the most petty one.
"Don't worry, I've never done anything out of line. Even if someone dislikes me, they can't find any fault with me."
He really never used his position to seek any benefits for himself. Although he took off the military uniform, what he was taught in the army was deeply rooted in his bones, and he never made a wrong step.
The train conductor just gave this reminder in vain. He knew his old friend better than anyone else what kind of person he was. He reminded him to be more alert and not let others take advantage of him.
Lao Wang wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. You said it's so hot even before summer. What will it be like when summer comes?" The weather is quite unfriendly to fat people.
"Tell me, we finally have a good life, why are these people making such a fuss? I think they are just bored."
The train conductor looked at the closed door and shook his head. As long as the enemy was determined to destroy us, things like this would never end. Thinking of the news he had heard, he sighed deeply.
He stood up, put on his hat, opened the door and walked out. Well, he should stop worrying about things that were not his business and just do his job well.
Chen Ye only lasted two days and one night under the seat before he couldn't bear it anymore. He could only reluctantly crawl out from under the seat and walk towards the toilet. It would be great if he could go without eating, drinking, defecating or peeing.
She pinched her nose and quickly went to the toilet, then began looking for her next place to stay. Finally, she found the same place as last time, near where the conductor and others were resting. This was the place with fewer people on the entire train.
She washed her hands as well, and after sitting down, she took out a dry steamed bun and started to eat it. This is now the standard when taking the train. It would be inconvenient for her to spend money to buy a box lunch when she is alone, as that would make her the easiest to be targeted.
It took Chen Ye almost an hour to finish a whole steamed bun. You could tell how hard it was. If it weren't for her good teeth, one bite of the bun might have knocked out all her teeth.
After drinking the last sip of water, Chen Ye hesitated whether to get up and fetch some water to put in the gourd, but seeing so many people in front of her, she hesitated. She was afraid that if she stood up, the good position she had finally found would be gone.
I don’t know why, but there seemed to be more people on this return trip. The whole train was packed. I didn’t see so many people just now!
The door of the lounge was open, but no one dared to go in and sit down. At this time, people seemed to have a sense of awe towards those in uniform.
After seeing Chen Ye, the train conductor kept observing her and felt that this guy was the one who bumped into him last time. There was no way he would be wrong with his eyes.
He really wanted to ask the boy directly whether the last incident had anything to do with him, but looking at the people crowded in front of him, it was not easy to ask directly.
Seeing this kid shaking his small gourd, is he out of water to drink?
You can't tell anything from this kid's facial expression, but his eyes seem to be able to speak. As long as you look closely, you can tell what he is thinking. He is indeed an interesting child.
Don't think he didn't notice that this kid was disguising his face. He definitely looked no older than fifteen and still very immature.
The conductor walked up to Chen Ye, carrying a bowl of cooled tea. Chen Ye had her head down, and when she saw a pair of large feet in leather shoes standing still facing her, she realized that they had just returned.
She looked up along the line of her leather shoes and saw the conductor looking down at her. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face. Did he recognize her?
No way, there are fewer red pimples on her face, and she looks very different from when she came.
Seeing the suspicion and confusion in the boy's eyes, the conductor felt amused and moved the teacup in his hand closer to Chen Ye, indicating that the water was for Chen Ye to drink.
Chen Ye took a look at the water in the teacup. It was tea water with tea leaves. It tasted better than cold water. Of course, she had only drunk it a few times. It tasted bitter at first, but it became sweet at the end.
It’s not that she likes it very much, she just feels it’s a bit fresh. She prefers the sweet and bubbly soda.
It's a pity that the stuff is not cheap and is not sold in the village. It's impossible to drink it for a long time. Every time she is thirsty, she misses the taste.
Chen Ye looked into the conductor's eyes and saw the smile and kindness in his eyes. She didn't hesitate. She still had to sit on the train for several days and she definitely couldn't do without water.
She didn't want to move now, and the best way was to have someone bring her water.
Chen Ye stretched out her hand tentatively, her fingers touching the teacup. She didn't see the person opposite her move the teacup away, so she held the handle of the teacup with confidence. She didn't have the habit of using other people's cups directly.
He opened the mouth of the gourd and poured the tea in the teapot directly into his own gourd. This gourd was quite large and it was filled only after almost all the tea in the big teapot was poured out.
Seeing Chen Ye's tentative behavior and his subsequent impolite actions, the train conductor was extremely amused. Even though this kid made himself dirty, there was no strange smell on his body. He didn't expect that he was still a clean child.
Chen Ye returned the large teacup to the conductor and politely thanked him, "Thank you."
The conductor was a little surprised. This was a very polite child, so why did he make such a mess of himself? His curiosity grew even stronger.
"You're welcome. Would you like to sit in my resting place?" It's a good opportunity to find out about this kid's situation.
Chen Ye quickly shook her head. She didn't want to do that. Who knew whether this person was good or bad? Besides, if she accidentally let the cat out of the bag and this person knew that it was her who reported the matter last time, she would be noticed in the future.
She often goes up the mountain to hunt for money. What if someone finds out what she does and catches her?
Chen Ye forced a smile and said, "No, this place is fine. I don't want to dirty your place if I'm dirty."
After saying this, he lowered his head, as if refusing to communicate. The train conductor laughed secretly, thinking that the last incident must have been related to this guy, otherwise he would never avoid him like this.
Anyone here would be happy to follow him to have a rest if he asked, because sitting on the floor is not as comfortable as sitting on the bed.
