After staying in the provincial capital of Nanji for a while, the train set off again and continued north.
Coincidentally, when arriving in Mingjiang Province, there was another train stopping at Mingjiang Station, which was the one Ning Xi had taken when returning to the city.
Speaking of which, after returning to the city, Ning Xi also wrote a letter to Chef Lin, but the other party never replied.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she went to ask Chef Lin.
There was no grudge between the two of them, and according to his thoughts at the time, he hoped that the two of them would continue to be friends.
By the time they had unloaded all their things, all the passengers on Chef Lin's train had already gotten off, and Ning Xi walked straight towards the dining car.
After being on the train for several days, she knew that when the train stopped and it was not at mealtime, the staff would most likely chat in the dining car.
Isn’t the person sitting by the window at this moment the conductor Sister Lin whom she had greeted before?
Ning Xi ran over excitedly and waved.
"Sister Lin~"
Lin Qin finally got some free time while shopping and sat by the window to chat with her colleagues when she saw a beautiful girl waving at them outside.
The two looked at each other and asked, "Looking for you?"
Then they shook their heads at the same time.
I was just focused on seeing how pretty she was and didn't hear what she said.
At this moment, the female comrade called out again, "Sister Lin!"
Lin Qincai pointed at himself in surprise and stuck his head out of the window, "Are you looking for me?"
Although she has to face countless unfamiliar faces every day, she will definitely remember such a good-looking one.
"I'm Ning Xi. I've ridden in this car before. I wanted to ask if Chef Lin is on the car?" Ning Xi skillfully took out some fruit candies from her pocket.
These are orange candies, which Commander Yu’s lover bought for them before they set out. Ning Xi grabbed a handful and put them in her pocket.
Sugar can be used as hard currency, and there is no one who doesn't like sweet candy.
At first, Lin Qin really didn’t remember it.
When she heard the other party mention Chef Lin and heard the familiar gesture of giving fruit candy, she had a vague impression.
But this woman didn't look like this back then, did she? Could it really be that city life is the best way to live?
"He's here! I'll call him for you." Lin Qin accepted the benefit, gave two to his companions, and quickly got up to call for help.
Although she would help call people even if she wasn't given candy, she would be willing to make the trip if she was given candy.
Soon, the chubby Chef Lin got out of the car and came over to talk to Ning Xi.
"Comrade Xiao Ning, you have really changed a lot since you grew up. I didn't even recognize you." Chef Lin was deeply impressed by Ning Xi and was even more shocked by her changes.
"I had some health problems before, but now I'm cured." Ning Xi briefly mentioned it and got straight to the point: "Brother Lin, didn't we agree to get in touch again? Why didn't you reply to my letter?"
She still wants to continue buying Moutai from him!
After all, it’s selling to anyone.
"Letter? What letter? I didn't receive it--" Lin Jili was also puzzled. Comrade Xiao Ning hadn't contacted him for such a long time.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him. Lin Jili slapped his head and thought that it might have been collected by his wife, or even destroyed by her.
Because of the nature of his work, his wife is always worried about him at home and is often concerned that he will have some romantic encounter.
In fact, he stays in the train every day. Except for the time he cooks, he stays in the lounge. Basically, he doesn't even go to other carriages.
He lied casually: "My home is quite remote, maybe the messenger lost it."
You can't tell outsiders that it's probably his wife who ruined it, right? After all, a big reason his wife is like this is because he's not at home.
She didn't have a job, but she still had to take care of the children and serve the two elderly people at home, maintaining his reputation as a filial son.
As a husband, I am the one who is at fault because I cannot be there to be considerate. Even if my wife's behavior is inappropriate, I have no right to blame her.
It seems that I should have a frank talk next time I go home.
"Comrade Xiaoning, this time, would you like to go buy boxes again..."
Ning Xi said regretfully, "How many boxes can I buy at most? The last time there were too few, and if I shared them with my family and friends, they would all be gone."
When Lin Jili heard this, he thought, how could such a valuable item be divided among people? Maybe he secretly took it to the market and sold it?
"Comrade Xiaoning, you have to be careful. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me."
He has elderly parents and young children to take care of.
"What are you thinking? I really did divide it up. I have a large family, more than ten brothers and sisters alone. I 'exchanged' it with them. There's no risk involved."
Lin Jili finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Same as always, I can get you two boxes this time, and I'll move them over there for you later."
He pointed to a corner.
Ning Xi understood and walked over to wait.
Soon Lin Jili reappeared, carrying a basket and a package on his back.
"Comrade Xiaoning, the bottom layer of this basket is filled with fresh longans, and these are figs. You may not have seen them before, right? Take them home and try them."
Ning Xi knew figs, but the original owner didn't. She lifted the blue cloth covering them and said in surprise, "This is the first time I've heard of them. They're so pretty, like little lanterns. How do you eat them?"
"There are so many, I can't accept them all." Ning Xi weighed it and found that the basket weighed nearly ten pounds.
Chef Lin will probably take it to the terminal to sell. The people in the capital are probably richer, so it won't be a problem for them to digest it.
Lin Jili: "Oh, it's not a rare thing, it's just growing in the back of my yard, there are a lot of them, don't be polite to me, your brother Lin."
"Don't think too much about it. I brought these as gifts for my friends," he explained.
Because he had to use his salary to support his family, Lin Jili was actually very cautious and did not dare to take advantage of the opportunity of frequent travel between the north and the south to make a profit.
Just made a lot of friends.
Normally, people would exchange gifts. He would bring fruits and other items that were rare in the north from the south, and his friends in the north would give him some industrial products.
They are all "exchanges" rather than "transactions".
Otherwise, with his convenience, he could probably make a lot of money by taking some rare things and selling them directly to people in the black market.
"Oh, by the way, the weather has been getting cold lately. Do you want some pork?"
Ning Xi nodded vigorously: "Yes! I have a big family and can eat it all."
My eldest brother and sister-in-law have been injured recently, and the whole family has been very busy. It is a time when we need a lot of nourishment.
"Brother Lin, this is the brown sugar I brought from the south. I'm leaving it for you." Ning Xi quietly handed him the money for the wine, including a ten-yuan bribe.
Last time I bought a box of wine, I gave a five-dollar commission. This time, for two boxes, it’s ten dollars.
A lot of sugarcane is grown in the southwest, and a lot of brown sugar is produced.
This is the raw brown sugar squeezed from mountain red sugarcane, wrapped directly in sugarcane leaves. One serving contains two large pieces, as big as a bowl, and one serving weighs one pound.
"Thank you." Lin Jili accepted it happily.
Brown sugar is good. I’ll take it home and make tea for his wife and mother.
