Chapter 017 You won’t be a burden, right?

After listening to their conversation for a few sentences, Gu Xiaoxi realized that Xiao Ye's eldest brother was also a soldier, and like Lu Jiansen, he was a battalion commander.

Xiao Ye, her brother, and Ding Lanyi's destination were all military areas because Ding Lanyi's sister had just given birth to a child, and Xiao Ye and Ding Lanyi were sent by their mother to take care of Ding Lanjing and the child.

And Xiao Lin, of course, is the companion.

In order to prevent Gu Xiaoxi and Ding Lanyi from developing a friendship, Xiao Ye kept chattering with Ding Lanyi, showing great enthusiasm.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't care. She had dinner with Lu Jiansen, and occasionally chatted with Grandpa Qi and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Late at night, Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and emptied the trash can twice, obtaining two new rolls of toilet paper and two merit points.

After returning to the shop, Gu Xiaoxi discovered that new skills had appeared in the skill mall.

Primary Skills Mall: Optional Skill 1: Garbage Decomposition. (Requires 2 points of merit)

Skill 2: Garbage Incineration. (Requires 2 points of merit)

Gu Xiaoxi only thought for two seconds before choosing the garbage decomposition skill.

Just as she was mastering the skill of garbage decomposition, the train suddenly stopped.

No one paid attention to it at first, but when the train stopped for an hour without moving, people began to walk around in the carriage.

Soon, the train conductor brought a message saying that due to heavy rain, the road ahead had collapsed and it was necessary to stop temporarily.

At this moment, the passengers who had just wanted to sleep no longer wanted to sleep and started talking about various things.

Lu Jiansen was also a little worried, so he sat down next to the little girl and whispered, "I'll go take a look ahead. Don't wander around. If you want to sleep, you can go."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay."

After Lu Jiansen left, Gu Xiaoxi did not go to sleep, but sat on the bed and ate dried sweet potatoes.

The dried sweet potatoes dried by farmers are delicious, chewy, not too hard, and a little soft, which suits her taste very well.

About twenty minutes later, Lu Jiansen came back.

"The landslide ahead is quite serious, and there is more than one landslide. The train will probably be unable to move for a while."

After hearing this, Mr. Qi sighed and said, "I hope no one was hurt!"

In this situation, we are afraid that someone might get injured and not get treatment in time.

Natural disasters are uncontrollable, and Gu Xiaoxi was unable to express her opinion, so she quietly stuffed a handful of dried sweet potatoes into Lu Jiansen's hand.

Lu Jiansen glanced at the little girl beside him, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and ate with her.

After eating a handful of dried sweet potatoes, Gu Xiaoxi yawned, wiped his hands, and went to sleep.

She thought that when she woke up, the road ahead would definitely be clear.

She slept soundly that night.

Outside, it rained all night.

The next day, when Gu Xiaoxi woke up, the train was still there, and the sky was gloomy. The temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and the originally stuffy carriage now exuded a damp and cold feeling.

Seeing that she had woken up, Lu Jiansen said softly, "It's a bit cold today, you'd better put on more clothes."

"Yeah!" Gu Xiaoxi rummaged through her bag, then took out a thin goose yellow sweater and put it on inside her coat.

Xiao Ye, who was wearing a dress, also felt cold. Seeing Gu Xiaoxi putting on more clothes, she also got out of bed and put on a coat.

Now that she was downstairs, she didn't want to go back to the upper floor, so she sat down on Gu Xiaoxi's bed.

For no other reason than that her bed looked the cleanest and tidiest.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her, then simply folded the quilt, turned around and sat next to Lu Jiansen.

Lu Jiansen asked softly, "Would you like to eat steamed buns or porridge in the morning?"

Gu Xiaoxi thought for two seconds and said, "How about some porridge?"

"Okay, I'll go buy it!" Lu Jiansen stood up, took his lunch box and went to the dining car to get some porridge.

Gu Xiaoxi took this time to wash up, and when he was walking back, he heard the passengers talking about a second landslide and some injuries.

When she returned to her stall, she found that Mr. Qi was gone and Xiao Lin had opened the car window and was looking out.

The rain was still falling outside, crackling, and the wind blew the raindrops into the car. Xiao Ye sneezed and couldn't help blaming his brother.

"Brother, close the window. Do you want to freeze me to death?"

Xiao Lin closed the window awkwardly. "I just wanted to see what was happening outside. I don't know when the train will leave."

Ding Lanyi sighed, "If there is a second landslide, I don't think we will be able to pass through it so quickly."

"Everything goes wrong on this train!" Xiao Ye was depressed.

When she saw Gu Xiaoxi coming back, she glared at her.

Gu Xiaoxi found it quite strange. It was unlucky to sit in the same carriage with this woman.

At this time, a male train attendant suddenly came to them. He handed a breakfast to Gu Xiaoxi and explained, "Comrade Gu, this is what Comrade Lu asked me to bring to you. Someone was injured in the front and needed help. Comrade Lu went to help and will be back later. Let me tell you."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Are there many injured?"

The conductor nodded and said, "It is estimated that more than a dozen people were injured!"

Gu Xiaoxi was surprised again, "Is there anything we can do to help?"

The conductor smiled gently, "Not at the moment. It's still raining outside, and it's safer for ordinary passengers to stay inside the train."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced out the window and continued to eat breakfast in silence.

After breakfast, the heavy rain outside turned into a drizzle, and an hour later, the rain stopped.

However, Lu Jiansen has not returned yet.

Gu Xiaoxi was a little worried, so he couldn't help but walk towards the front carriage.

However, the carriage was very crowded at this moment, and some people were sitting in the aisle, so it was quite strenuous for her to walk through each carriage.

Every time she passed by a trash can, she couldn't help but take a look.

If there is someone around, she will just walk away. When no one is paying attention, she will take the opportunity to clean up the dirty and messy trash can.

After walking around like this, she didn't see Lu Jiansen, but she earned three merit points and three rolls of toilet paper.

She consumed two merit points, activated the garbage incineration skill, and then sat on the bed and ate dried sweet potatoes boredly.

Ding Lanyi was also quite bored, so she took out a small bag of melon seeds and gave some to Xiao Ye and Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi did not refuse and shared some dried sweet potatoes with Ding Lanyi.

The two of them had just chatted for a few words when Xiao Ye couldn't help but interrupt again.

"Comrade Gu, being a military wife is not easy. You need someone to take care of you all the time and you can't even cook for yourself. When Comrade Lu goes on a mission, you won't be a burden, right?"

Anyway, she just couldn't get used to seeing Gu Xiaoxi being pampered by such an outstanding soldier and not having to do anything.

She didn't want to admit that she was just jealous of Gu Xiaoxi. She was jealous that she was prettier than she was, and she was also jealous that she could marry a handsome, promising, and young military officer.

What a good life!
