Chen Jiao didn't know what Tong Xiaolan was thinking.
After lunch, she took her two children to the bunk.
When the two children packed their own things, they put all the books she had found for them into their schoolbags.
At this time, Chen Jiao was holding a comic book and reading a story to the two little ones.
The two little guys felt a little sleepy after eating. Soon, they started to nod their heads and became drowsy.
Shen Jiao lowered her voice and let the two little ones sleep.
After the two little ones fell asleep, she moved them inside the bed and prepared to sleep on the outside herself to prevent the children from rolling off the bed if they were restless after falling asleep.
But before she fell asleep, Lu Zhengxu lowered his bass voice and said, "Wife, go and have a rest. I'll stay with the child."
The berths on the train are narrow.
Two children and one adult sleep on one bed, and the adult can only lie on his side on the edge of the bed, making it impossible for him to get a good rest.
Chen Jiao thought that the man was full of energy, so she didn't act pretentiously with him.
She yawned and went to the bed next to her to rest.
Lu Zhengxu didn't sleep. He accompanied the two children and took a high school Chinese textbook from the pile of books that Chen Jiao brought to read.
Chen Jiao got these textbooks from Yang Jue.
At the beginning, Chen Jiao used eggs and grain to rent books from Yang Jue to study.
In fact, she had never thought about buying the book. It was when she was renting a book once that Yang Jue took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to buy one.
She was quite surprised at the time. Yang Jue was a book lover, so how could he sell books?
At that time, Yang Jue only said that he had read all these books thoroughly and there was no point in keeping them.
Later, she heard from Su Ling and Tang Yue that something seemed to have happened in Yang Jue's family.
But neither of them knew what exactly happened.
However, she gave Yang Jue a very fair price for buying these books.
When she bought the book, she also specifically reminded Yang Jue not to give up reading, as knowledge would be of great use one day.
She was implicitly pointing out a way for Yang Jue, but she didn't know whether Yang Jue could take her words to heart.
Lu Zhengxu was reading a book, but Tong Xiaolan was looking at him.
Tong Xiaolan couldn't take her eyes off Lu Zhengxu's cold and serious face when he was reading.
She just felt like there was a little deer locked in her heart, jumping around in circles.
Lu Zhengxu naturally felt Tong Xiaolan's gaze, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The carriage became quiet and Tong Xiaolan could only hear her own heartbeat. When Lu Zhengxu turned another page of the book, she finally couldn't hold back and walked towards Lu Zhengxu.
She showed an innocent look, blinked at Lu Zhengxu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zhengxu, are you reading high school textbooks? Are you preparing to go to military school? I also went to high school, we can learn from each other!"
Lu Zhengxu had a cold expression. He simply closed the book and put it aside, saying, "Thank you, but that's okay."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and rested.
Tong Xiaolan felt so coldly received and bit her lip in embarrassment.
But she still didn't give up and said, "Brother Zhengxu, do you have a math book? When I was in high school, my math grades were not very good, and I don't understand many questions in the book. Can I ask you for help?"
Lu Zhengxu politely opened his eyes, but his face still had that cold expression that kept people at a distance. "I didn't go to high school, so I don't know high school math. These books belong to my wife, and she's a very good student. If you really want to ask her questions, you can wait until she wakes up and ask her."
After Lu Zhengxu finished speaking, he said directly: "Comrade Tong Xiaolan, I plan to take a rest now, please do as you please."
Tong Xiaolan looked at Lu Zhengxu's eyes which closed again, and once again she looked so embarrassed that she almost bit her lips until they bled.
When she thought of how gentle and doting Lu Zhengxu was when facing Chen Jiao, she couldn't help feeling jealous.
Chen Jiao was so tired last night that she slept soundly today in such a noisy environment on the train.
When she woke up, it was already mid-afternoon.
The two children were following Lu Zhengxu and reciting the Three Character Classic in a low voice.
The two children have always had a high enthusiasm for learning, and Chen Jiao is very pleased about this.
She took out the pastries prepared by the old lady and cooled some of the hot water in the thermos, preparing a snack for the two little ones who were studying hard.
The old lady prepared many kinds and quantities of snacks, such as lotus cakes, plum cheese cakes, kumquat cakes, and green tea crystal cakes.
After all, the old lady was once a female official in the imperial kitchen. The pastries she made are so delicious that they make people’s mouths water just by their appearance and aroma, regardless of how they taste.
Chen Jiao found that as soon as she took out the pastry, it immediately attracted everyone's attention again.
The two young men who were out on business glanced at the cakes and couldn't help swallowing.
Feng Suyun's eyes were almost fixed on the pastries.
Tong Xiaolan looked angry and whispered, "Eating something in such a fancy way is clearly formalism and capitalist hedonism. This kind of woman will definitely bring trouble to Brother Zhengxu in the future."
Feng Suyun was shocked when she heard her daughter say this.
She pinched Tong Xiaolan and said, "My girl, I know what you are thinking. But put all your thoughts aside now. Captain Lu is your brother's leader. If you offend his wife and implicate your brother, I will not help you when your brother punishes you!"
Tong Xiaolan shut up awkwardly.
Feng Suyun and Tong Xiaolan were whispering about something, but Chen Jiao didn't care.
