Chapter 17: Not being active in eating means there is something wrong with your brain
"I live next door to you. If you have any problem, just call me, Comrade Xiao Ning." Comrade Ji looked at Ning Xiyue and said seriously, "It's best not to go out for no reason. As for meals, I must take you there. Please understand for your safety."
After this trip, Ning Xiyue realized that those three people were definitely not ordinary thieves, otherwise they would not have mobilized such a large force. They didn't even say a word to her even after she beat them unconscious, and even asked Comrade Ji to protect her.
But these are none of her business. She just needs to take care of her life and be obedient and not go out. She has saved this life with great luck.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Comrade Ji." Ning Xiyue nodded in response.
Comrade Ji was a tall and strong man who looked very safe and convincing, which made her feel at ease.
"You're welcome. My name is Ji Yanming. You can call my name anytime if you have any problem. I can hear you. Don't be afraid of trouble." Comrade Ji looked at Ning Xiyue seriously and said.
"Um."
Comrade Ji is quite conscientious and responsible, and is worthy of being a good comrade of the people.
It was also at this time that Ning Xiyue discovered that Comrade Ji was actually quite handsome, with a three-dimensional outline, attractive facial features, and especially tall. Her height of 185 cm only barely reached his shoulders, and she didn't know if he was actually 1.9 meters tall.
It's just that his face is too tanned, and he always has a serious face, which makes people completely ignore his appearance. He also speaks in a frighteningly cold way, making people feel that he is difficult to approach.
Judging from these aspects alone, he really does look like a cold-blooded and merciless dark king of hell.
However, Ning Xiyue thought that based on what Comrade Ji said just now, he must be a very warm-hearted person.
Ji Yanming didn't know what Ning Xiyue thought of him. He looked at the time and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go to the dining car to eat first."
"OK."
Just as Ji Yanming finished speaking, the radio on the train began broadcasting the lunch reminder. The dining car was in carriage No. 9 between the sleeper berths and hard seats, and was very close.
Ning Xiyue heard the broadcast and immediately ran ahead, turning back to urge, "Let's go faster, there will be too many people later, and there will be no seats or good food."
Perhaps it was because she grew up in an orphanage, Ning Xiyue was the most proactive when it came to eating. When she was in school, she was always the first one to rush to get food, far ahead of the others, and her running speed left the students behind her far behind.
She has always agreed with the saying that if you are not active when eating, there is something wrong with your brain.
Ji Yanming followed closely behind, looking at Ning Xiyue who was actively running towards the dining car in front, with a barely perceptible faint smile on the corner of his lips.
When she arrived at the dining car, Ning Xiyue found that she was indeed one of the first people to arrive. Perhaps most people brought their own dry food, so not many people came to the dining car to eat.
Although there were not many types of food on the dining car, there were several dishes, and you could see a few pieces of meat in the dishes. They looked good and the taste should be okay. What made Ning Xiyue happy was that she saw big meat dishes, grilled fish and big chicken legs.
What made Ning Xiyue happiest was that one did not need food coupons or meat coupons to eat here. One only had to buy meal coupons and pay for the dishes, which greatly facilitated people like her who did not have abundant coupons.
She looked at the prices. An aluminum box lunch cost 30 cents, a cabbage stewed with vermicelli cost 30 cents, a grilled fish fillet cost 50 cents, and a grilled pork cost 50 cents. Although the prices were a bit expensive, she still had some money in her pocket, so she didn't need to put herself in a difficult position.
She wanted to eat all these dishes, but the portions were too large for one person to finish.
Thinking of the person standing behind her, Ning Xiyue's eyes turned, and she turned around and asked, "Comrade Ji, why don't we order food together, and divide it equally into our lunch boxes when the food arrives. This way, we can eat different kinds of food and save some money. So, what kind of food do you like?"
"Okay, I'm not picky, order whatever you want."
Ning Xiyue was very happy with Ji Yanming's concise answer.
"clear."
As long as she is not picky, she can order the dishes she likes. Ning Xiyue pointed at the staff who was serving the food and said:
"Master, give me two boxed lunches, one is Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli, one is grilled fish fillet, and one is the braised pork over there."
While Ning Xiyue was taking out the money, Ji Yanming had already handed two meal tickets and the money for the dishes to the chef.
The chef received the money and replied with a smile: "Okay, please take a seat and I will bring it over right away."
Ning Xiyue quickly took out two eggs from her small cloth bag and asked, "Master Chef, can you help me heat up the eggs? They are already cooked, just warm them up."
"Serving the people, of course." The chef took the egg and responded readily.
"Thank you, Master."
The two of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Ning Xiyue handed her share of the meal money to Ji Yanming.
Ji Yanming glanced at the fair and slender hand stretched out in front of him and quickly looked away. He calmly took the 95 cents handed over, and pinched the only one-cent coin under the table with his fingers, but the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red.
The food came very quickly. In about two minutes, the staff of the dining car came over with a tray. On it was the food she ordered and two eggs that she handed to the chef to heat up.
Ning Xiyue helped to take the dishes out of the tray and put them on the table, then nodded to the staff and said in thanks: "Thank you, comrade."
He gave one of the eggs to Ji Yanming: "Comrade Ji, please don't despise these eggs that I cooked at home."
"Thanks."
Ning Xiyue was in a very good mood as she looked at the aluminum boxes in front of her that were filled with food. She used clean chopsticks to divide the food for both of them equally into two boxes and handed over the portion belonging to Comrade Ji.
"It smells so good, let's eat."
Ning Xiyue was concentrating on eating the meal seriously throughout the whole process. She had to say that the food tasted really good and the portion was big.
Especially the grilled fish fillets, the whole box is filled with spicy and delicious fish fillets, unlike those restaurants in later generations that only have a thin layer of fish meat on the surface and the rest are all side dishes or chili peppers.
Ning Xiyue ate happily and contentedly during this meal. The two of them finished up their respective portions of food without leaving even a single bit.
"Take a break. I ate too much." Ning Xiyue touched her round belly and burped.
Ji Yanming silently cleaned up the empty lunch boxes on the table, stacked them up, and put them in a special place for lunch boxes.
Ning Xiyue wanted to help but was rejected, so she simply sat down and took a rest, thinking that she must write a long thank-you letter to Comrade Ji when she arrived at her destination.
"Xiyue, you come here to eat too."
Ning Xiyue looked towards the voice and saw Liu Yao, whom she had met on the train, running towards her in surprise, followed by Yu Zhiyu and the man who had exchanged seats with her.
Seeing Ning Xiyue looking over, they all nodded in greeting.
