After checking into the room, the two felt bored, so they went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city and brought some local specialties for their godfather and godmother.
Xiyuan is a mountainous area with a lot of sandy land, and many areas are used to grow fruits and peanuts. Therefore, there are several canneries here, as well as peanut-related food products.
Things like peanut oil, fried peanuts, boiled peanuts, etc. are in sufficient supply here, and the prices are not expensive, and many of them don't even require a ticket.
Of course, you still need a ticket to buy peanut oil.
Lin Yizhen had oil coupons in her hand, as she had been abroad for so long. Luo Xiao had kept all the tickets he should have given her and exchanged them for current year tickets to prevent any of the commonly used tickets from expiring.
Lin Yizhen took some of each type of ticket, and gave the extra ones or those she didn't need to Luo Xiao, asking him to deal with them.
Luo Xiao knew that Lin Yizhen never had enough bills to spend, and he had helped her deal with this situation many times before. So he didn't say anything and shared the money with his comrades.
Then, a lot of dry goods and local specialties were sent to Lin Yizhen.
Thinking that she might not come back often in the future, Lin Yizhen used up all the local bills she had and only kept a few national bills.
It was almost dark when Lin Yizhen and Zhuang Weixing came out of the supply and marketing cooperative with their bags. They went to a nearby state-owned restaurant for dinner before returning to the guesthouse.
The next day, the two got up early, packed their luggage, went downstairs to check out of the hotel, and then went to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast.
After breakfast, the two bought six meat buns to take with them on the train.
Because they woke up early, they arrived at the train station just after eight o'clock. Their train was not due until ten o'clock, which was still over an hour away, so they found a corner and sat down.
After sitting down, Lin Yizhen took out two red books from her bag, holding one for herself and handing the other to Zhuang Weixing.
Zhuang Weixing glanced at Lin Yizhen, then smiled and took the book and said, "When did you put it in? Why didn't I see it?"
"I checked again after you packed your things the night before yesterday. I thought the ride might be boring, so I brought two books to pass the time." After saying that, Lin Yizhen opened the book and started reading.
Zhuang Weixing looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious, so he lowered his head and opened the book.
However, although he opened the book, his mind was not entirely on it.
After all, they were at a train station.
There are people coming and going here, who knows if there are people with ulterior motives here? What if someone does something bad to my wife?
Lin Yizhen, however, had no such worries. She had already told Xiaoyu when she got the book, asking her to help keep an eye on the people around her to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to do something bad.
I don't know if they were lucky or because they saw through Zhuang Weixing's identity?
In short, they didn't encounter any accidents while waiting for the bus.
At 9:50, the train was about to arrive. After hearing the ticket checking sound from the loudspeaker, the two of them started to pick up their luggage and line up for ticket checking.
Because of Lin Yizhen's special status, she always buys sleeper tickets whenever she travels, and this time is no exception.
The hard-seat carriage was too big and crowded. Lin Yizhen would not compromise herself if she could buy a sleeper berth.
After getting on the train, the two quickly found their own carriage.
There were already two people in the carriage at this time, a man and a woman, probably in their thirties. They had chosen bunks on the same side, and perhaps because there were so many passengers, neither of them slept, but sat on their bunks and talked.
Seeing the two people come in, they both stopped and looked at Lin Yizhen and the others together.
Zhuang Weixing just glanced at them, then took his luggage and went to the empty bunk on the other side.
After putting away the luggage, Zhuang Weixing asked Lin Yizhen to choose a berth. After she chose one, he chose one and lay down next to Lin Yizhen's berth.
Lin Yizhen, lying on the berth, turned her head and glanced at the two people opposite her. Apart from feeling that they knew each other, she didn't find anything wrong.
Maybe because she had been reading a book before, Lin Yizhen felt a little tired in her eyes, so she closed her eyes to rest.
Zhuang Weixing, who slept in the bunk below her, saw that there had been no movement in the upper bunk, so he got up to take a look. Finding that she had her eyes closed, he said nothing more and took out the book he had been reading before and continued reading.
The train started moving quickly, and Lin Yizhen fell asleep amid the clanging sounds.
The two people on the other side saw that Lin Yizhen had fallen asleep, so they didn't say anything. They each took out a newspaper from under their pillow and started reading.
It was very boring on the train. All I did was read books and newspapers and sleep.
Zhuang Weixing was not a person who liked reading. Not long after he started reading, his eyelids started to droop. Then he just put the book on his face and went to sleep.
However, they didn't sleep for long. Both of them had martial arts experience, and they were in an unfamiliar place, so the slightest noise would wake them up.
Just like now, meals are provided on the train at noon, and those who have money can go to the restaurant to buy meals.
The restaurant was in the car in front of their soft sleeper, so the noise was naturally louder when there were more people. Lin Yizhen and the other two were woken up by the noise outside.
However, the man and woman opposite them were the opposite of them.
They had just fallen asleep and the noise was not enough to wake them up.
Zhuang Weixing saw Lin Yizhen on the upper bunk wake up. He looked at his watch and asked quietly, "You woke me up, didn't you? It's dinner time now. I'll go get you some food."
"No, I don't want to eat yet. You watch the luggage here, I'm going to the bathroom first." Lin Yizhen glanced at the two people opposite and replied in a low voice.
Zhuang Weixing thought about it and it made sense. The toilet and the restaurant were in two different directions, so he would still have time to go to the restaurant after his wife came back.
He knew the restaurant on the train. Although the supply was limited due to the large number of people, it didn't sell out so quickly. People were still very frugal at that time, and most people preferred to eat the dry food they brought with them.
After a while, Zhuang Weixing saw his wife coming back from outside, so he took out two lunch boxes from the outermost bag of his luggage and went to the restaurant to get food.
He was lucky because when it was his turn to get food, there were only two servings of braised pork left.
The people behind him wanted to buy more, but there was no more left. This annoyed the big man behind him. Just when he was about to discuss with the brother in front of him to see if he could get a share, he saw the man leaving with the packed lunch box.
Zhuang Weixing didn't care what others thought, nor did he know what the person behind him was thinking. After he got his meal, he took the lunch box back to his own compartment.
He handed one of the juicy lunch boxes to Lin Yizhen and said, "We have braised pork today. I got the last two portions back. There's a lot of gravy in there! You can use it with rice later."
Lin Yizhen glanced at him without saying anything. Braised pork was delicious, but she didn't like the rice with braised sauce; it was too oily.
She is not like other people who have no food in their stomachs. She has so much food in her space that she can eat as much as she wants.
If you can eat light food, then eat light food. After all, eating too heavy food is bad for your health.
