Chapter 90: We share the same suffering and are both disgusted
"Are you not used to it? You southerners all eat rice," Jiao Xinhua asked.
"No, I have an upset stomach."
Luo Xinxin refused to admit that she was just being spoiled if she couldn't get used to the food, and she couldn't let anyone hold her against her.
Jiao Xinhua didn't ask any more questions. He poured her noodles into his own bowl, scraped off even the soup, and then began to eat with big mouthfuls. The family could only eat such solid noodles once a month, so he was going to eat to his heart's content today.
Looking at his greedy eating habits, Luo Xinxin thought of the thumb of the woman beating noodles, and hurried outside to find a secluded place to cook for herself.
There was no one behind the cafeteria, but she still cautiously reached into her bag and took out a beef pie and a cucumber. But just as she took a bite, she heard Li Rong's faint voice in her ears.
"Give me half."
"Why are you stealing my cookies when you're not eating noodles inside?"
Luo Xinxin retorted, but still took out a beef patty from her bag and gave it to him. She didn't give him the cucumber, as the guy already had two in his hand.
Li Rong squatted down with him to eat. He was really hungry and finished a beef patty in just a few bites. Luo Xinxin had no choice but to give him two more.
"How much is left in your bag?"
Li Rong took out food coupons and money from his pocket, without counting, and stuffed them all at once into her pocket. The three beef patties were only enough to fill her teeth.
"I bought ten this morning. I'm giving them all to you."
Luo Xinxin took two for herself and gave the rest to him.
"Why don't you eat noodles?" Li Rong asked curiously.
"Don't ask, just let me finish it."
The black thumb popped up in Luo Xinxin's mind again, and she couldn't swallow the remaining half of the beef patty.
Seeing her constipated expression, Li Rong asked cheerfully, "Would you like to eat this half piece?"
Even though Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes at him, he didn't get angry. He took half a piece of cake from her hand and ate it in two bites.
Luo Xinxin was so angry that she took a big bite of the cucumber. The crisp and juicy cucumber alleviated her nausea a little.
But seeing Li Rong eating with gusto, she felt unbalanced again and maliciously told him the reason why she didn't eat noodles.
"The nails were black. I don't know if they washed their hands after going to the toilet. They all went into the noodle soup. I would only eat Tang Sanzang's flesh if it was his."
However, Li Rong was not affected at all and continued to eat with relish.
He finished his last pancake and then nibbled on the cucumber before slowly saying, "I don't know if your lady washed her hands, but the man who made my noodles definitely didn't wash his hands before he went to the toilet. He only had one piece of toilet paper, and after he did that, he went to make the noodles, and he stuck his thumb in the noodle soup."
"How do you know he only had one piece of toilet paper after going to the toilet and hasn't washed his hands yet?"
Luo Xinxin felt strange. How could this guy know so much?
"Because, I was in the pit next to him, and he didn't bring any toilet paper, so he asked me for some."
Li Rong looked helpless. He was not someone who was afraid of hardship, but when conditions permitted, he still paid great attention to hygiene.
The uncle in the cafeteria is so bad when it comes to hygiene.
Next time he comes to the Armed Forces Department, he will definitely not eat in the cafeteria.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Luo Xinxin laughed out loud.
Li Rong curled up the corners of his mouth, took half a cucumber from her hand, and ate it up with a crunch.
Luo Xinxin wiped away the tears from her laughter, took out another cucumber from her bag, broke off half of it and gave it to him, and they shared it.
"I once read a book about life in the northwest. There was a scene where a restaurant owner made a bowl of mutton soup and had some unwiped feces on his fingers. A customer saw it and he wiped it off and said it was chili sauce... I was disgusted at the time and thought the author was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be realistic."
Luo Xinxin patted her chest. She hadn't finished reading the book because the descriptions of sex and hygiene were too much for her to accept.
"Can this book be seen now?" Li Rong asked.
"No, but you might see it later."
Luo Xinxin shook her head. It would take at least 20 or 30 years.
The author of this book is also very interesting. Both father and daughter like to write about shit, piss and fart, but the father's writing is more advanced, while the daughter's writing is more simple.
"Will children in the future be able to read a lot of books?" Li Rong is very interested in life in the future.
"In the future, the channels for obtaining information will not only be books, but more importantly, the Internet. I can't explain this in the short term, but you will definitely see it in the future."
Luo Xinxin didn't know how to explain it so that Li Rong could understand the Internet.
"The children in the future will be very happy."
Li Rong became even more excited about the future, especially the Internet, which sounded very interesting.
He must keep in good health and strive to live to see the prosperous times.
"Not necessarily. Although material wealth is high, spiritual poverty is increasing. Many young people and children will commit suicide."
Luo Xinxin told him about the suicide rate in later generations, which was mostly among young people and children.
Li Rong frowned. His descendants were so fragile that they would commit suicide after being criticized by their parents and teachers?
"It's difficult for the weak in the animal kingdom to survive to adulthood."
What Li Rong said was a bit cruel, but it was the truth.
The human world, like the animal world, is governed by the law of survival of the fittest; the fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated.
"That's right, only those with strong vitality can climb to the top of the mountain."
Luo Xinxin agreed very much.
Although she has been threatening the system with death, she will not actively seek death. Even if life is hard, she will try her best to live.
The two of them had a great conversation and talked a lot without realizing it, until the leader of the armed forces department came over.
"Comrade Li, you are here. The military district called and asked you to return immediately."
"knew."
Li Rong stood up and whispered to Luo Xinxin, "This commendation will not be made public. It will be announced only after the remaining enemy spies are captured. Please wait a little longer."
"Okay, hold on tight!"
Luo Xinxin urged.
Li Rong smiled and walked away.
After dinner, Director Lei allowed them to go to the county town and return to the farm at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Xinxin went to the supply and marketing cooperative. When she came out, her backpack was full. Most of the things were bought in the mall, such as Dacron cloth, fruit candies, egg cakes, white and brown sugar, soap, etc.
She now has more than 1,200 points, and the mall has opened up many daily necessities, which is enough for her to live a good life.
"Xiao Luo, you didn't spend all your bonus, did you?"
Director Mine was shocked when he saw her full basket.
Luo Xinxin smiled and did not deny it.
"You're being too extravagant. You can't spend money like that. You need to be more frugal."
Director Lei couldn't help but teach him that fifty yuan was enough for his family's living expenses for two months.
"These are all necessities of life, Director. Aren't you going to give me a ten-dollar bonus?"
Luo Xinxin asked with a smile.
"I'll send it when I get back. Did the armed forces leader look for you today?" Director Lei asked with concern.
"I did, but after knowing that I was a walker, he said he would look for me later."
Luo Xinxin did not hide it.
"There is still a chance, just wait a little longer."
Director Lei comforted her and felt sorry for her.
If it weren't for this damn hat, Xiao Luo would definitely have joined the army.
"It's okay. Even if I don't join the army, I can still contribute to the country."
Luo Xinxin expressed her loyalty loudly.
Director Lei smiled with satisfaction. Xiao Luo was really a good comrade. It was time to take off her hat. He would apply to his superiors after some time.
