Chen Jiao didn't care whether Tong Xiaolan thanked her or not. She smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, Auntie. You guys eat first. I'm going back to take care of the two children."
After she finished speaking, she was about to walk towards their bunk when she heard a slightly trembling old voice behind her, "Young comrade, wait a minute."
Chen Jiao turned around and looked at the old man who called her in confusion.
The old man's eyes were slightly red, and there were even tears in his eyes.
"Little comrade, can I try some of your other pastries?"
Chen Jiao unequivocally picked up a piece of each cake and handed it to the old man, "Here, try it."
The old man took the cake from Shen Jiao with trembling hands.
At the same time, the two young officials in the carriage, Feng Suyun, and Tong Xiaolan all focused their eyes on the old man.
Specifically, the focus was on the snacks in the hands of the elderly.
At first they thought that Chen Jiao's snack might just be prettier in appearance, but after eating it, they realized that it was definitely the most delicious thing they had ever eaten in their lives.
It is fragrant and sweet, melts in your mouth, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your teeth and cheeks after eating, leaving an endless aftertaste in your mouth.
Tong Xiaolan, who was arrogant and wanted to refuse at first, after tasting the pastry, couldn't wait to swallow it whole, just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit.
At this time, they watched eagerly as Chen Jiao gave the old man several more pieces, and wanted to ask Chen Jiao for some more.
But food is precious now, and no one has the nerve to ask for it.
Tong Xiaolan poked her mother. Feng Suyun patted Tong Xiaolan's hand and scolded her in a low voice: "You greedy girl, weren't you stubborn just now and said you didn't want it? Now that you know it's delicious, you still want it? Wait!"
Feng Suyun stood up and walked towards Chen Jiao, smiling shyly, "Captain Lu, where did you buy this cake? It's really delicious!
The old lady has never eaten such delicious food in her life. I saw you brought quite a lot just now. Can you share some with us? When we get to the army, I will ask Xiaolan's brother to return them to you. ”
Chen Jiao looked at Feng Suyun's smiling face, and she also had a smile on her face.
Nowadays, there are many cases where the grain loaned out, especially in small quantities, is treated like a bunch of trash.
What's more, Feng Suyun just wanted a few pieces of cakes. His son is Lu Zhengxu's subordinate. If he really gave them to her, who would have the nerve to ask her to pay her back?
What's more, this thing was made by the old lady herself. I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who can make it except the old lady, and Feng Suyun can't make it either.
Besides, she was not happy to share the old lady's cakes with the woman who coveted her man.
I gave the food to the mother and daughter out of courtesy just now, but now that they have finished eating and are asking for more, that would be impolite of them.
Chen Jiao smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, we don't have many cakes left. It will take two days to get to North City by truck, so we really don't have any to share with you."
Feng Suyun just brought up her son because she was certain that since her son and Lu Zhengxu were colleagues, Chen Jiao would definitely not reject her.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jiao smiled and directly refused.
When she was in the village, as long as she mentioned her promising son who was a deputy battalion commander in the army, or if she took some small things from other people's homes, no one dared to say anything.
But Chen Jiao didn't give her face.
Feng Suyun was very unhappy.
Her already long face was instantly pulled into a donkey's face. She moved her lips and wanted to curse, but in the end, considering that Lu Zhengxu was her son's leader, she endured it and didn't say anything.
At this time, the old man's slightly trembling voice once again reached Shen Jiao's ears, "Little comrade, can I ask where you bought this cake?"
Shen Jiao turned her head and realized that the old man's eyes were completely red.
Just now, when she saw the old man’s eyes were red and tearful, Shen Jiao didn’t find it strange.
Because good food can evoke emotions buried deep in people's hearts, some people laugh while eating, while some people cry uncontrollably while eating, this is all normal.
But the old man asked about the origin of the pastry. Could it be that he tasted a familiar taste?
Could it be that this old man has some connection with the old lady?
Chen Jiao was thinking about it, but she couldn't show anything on her face. She just smiled and said, "It was made by the old man at home. Old man, have you tasted this flavor before?"
The old man choked up and nodded gently, turned around and wiped his tears, then smiled with relief and said, "It's been a long time since I last tasted this flavor. I thought I would never be able to eat it in this lifetime, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I could eat it again. Thank you so much, young comrade."
When Chen Jiao heard this, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could it be that the old lady was a sea queen when she was young, and she was promiscuous everywhere?
There is also some romantic story with this old man.
Chen Jiao has already imagined a big drama in her mind. The old man follows her clue to find the old lady, and discovers that the old lady is already together with his former rival in love.
The three of them started a passionate twilight love triangle.
Wow, it’s so exciting just thinking about it!
While Chen Jiao was still immersed in the drama in her mind, the old man had already taken out a pocket watch from his arms, put it in her hand, and said, "Little comrade, I have a favor to ask of you. Please help me pass this watch to your elders."
Chen Jiao looked at the pocket watch the old man stuffed into her hand, not knowing whether to take it or not.
She was really afraid that after the old man found the old lady and discovered her master, he would fight with her master!
She was struggling with the dilemma when the train broadcast began to announce the arrival of new stations.
The old man quickly tore off a piece of paper, wrote down an address and gave it to Chen Jiao, saying, "Little comrade, this is my contact information. If your elder is willing to contact me, give it to her. If not..."
The old man seemed unwilling to face this result. Before he finished speaking, he picked up the suitcase and said, "I'm getting off the bus first."
The old man was quite nimble and quick, and he walked out of the car as soon as he finished speaking and joined the crowd of people getting off the train.
Now Shen Jiao didn’t have to worry about it. She had to accept the pocket watch and contact information even if she didn’t want to.
