"Hey, son of a high-ranking official! It's an honor to ride in the same compartment with someone like you. I wonder which leader your uncle is. I can brag to him about it when I go out in my life."
The uncle who was drinking tea spoke flatteringly while holding the teacup, which made Jiang Cha look confused. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
"My uncle is from the artillery academy. You are sensible, unlike some people, humph!"
The girl on the opposite bed glanced at Jiang Cha arrogantly, implying clearly that she was someone.
"Xiao Ju, when we came out, Dad told us to be low-key. As the children of cadres, we should set an example." A man's voice came from the bunk below Jiang Cha.
"Yeah, I always listen to Brother Shan. Brother Shan is smart."
"Young couple, oh my, what a perfect match!"
The uncle is really good at praising people, and he never says the same thing twice. Xiaoju opposite him was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear.
"How do you know we just got married? We just got the marriage certificate, had the wedding, went to visit my aunt in the capital, and then went back to my brother's house in the mountain to visit my parents-in-law."
"Congratulations, your in-laws are also from the capital?"
"Of course, Shan Ge is an educated youth who supports rural development. He is determined to take root in the countryside, and my parents-in-law are also very supportive."
The little girl Xiaoju looked down with admiration, her watery eyes fixed on her brother Shan.
"Supporting rural development is the decision of the Chairman himself. There is a vast world and much to be done! I will strive for this goal my whole life."
Jiang Cha was not surprised at all when she heard the man's resounding answer. Everyone can say nice things.
"You two are really my role models. You are indeed the children of cadres, and your awareness is high. My little brother's family is not ordinary people, right? Don't fool me, I have sharp eyes!"
"Shan Ge's family lives in a government compound, so they're certainly not ordinary people."
"You two are a perfect match. I'm so envious!"
The three of them were chatting animatedly, while Jiang Cha clasped her hands in boredom. The attendant knocked on the door to announce that it was time for dinner, so she went downstairs to put on her shoes and head to the dining car. She glanced at the man in the lower bunk; he looked quite handsome.
'Girl, are you going to eat?'
The uncle also took his bag and greeted Jiang Cha.
I nodded at him, pushed the door and went out. There were fewer people in the dining car on the soft sleeper side, and there were a lot of empty seats.
Jiang Cha found a random table and sat down. She looked at the blackboard and ordered salt-fried pork and bean soup rice. This trip to Sichuan, she had fallen in love with bean soup rice. The dense peas had a particularly delicious texture. To eat them often, she had specially stored a large amount of peas in her space.
Not to mention the salt-fried pork, the meat in this era is especially delicious no matter how you eat it, and paired with Sichuan's bean paste and garlic sprouts, it's so delicious!
"Brother Shan, let's order some fried meat with salt to nourish you. You've been exhausted from harvesting wheat lately."
"I see there's braised pork. Let's have that. I know you like it."
"Brother Shan, you've been so kind to me. When we get to my uncle's house, I'll definitely find you a job in the capital. Life in the countryside is too hard, and I can't bear to leave."
"Xiao Ju, thank you. When I find a job, I will definitely take you over so that you can also be a citizen of the capital."
These two people kept chattering behind Jiang Cha's back. It turned out that they wanted to go back to the city. Their slogans were so inconsistent with their hearts.
After finishing their meal quickly, they returned to the carriage. The uncle was the only one left, leaning on the bed reading a newspaper.
"Are you back? Girl, what are you doing here? You don't look like you're here to visit relatives. I see there are soldiers escorting you to the car. Is there anyone in your family who is an official?"
"Uncle, you're so nosy. What do you do? I don't think you're on a business trip."
Jiang Cha initially thought this uncle was a nice person, but as they chatted on the road, he was so calm and flattering that the other two were almost emptying their family fortunes.
Now he is trying to talk to her again. This guy is quite interesting!
"Look at what you're saying. What's the point of just chatting? The girl is quite cautious."
'My mom says don't talk to strangers when you're out and about.'
The uncle choked on his ginger tea, the newspaper in his hand rustling loudly. He climbed onto the bed and opened the novel in his hand to kill time.
"Uncle, you didn't go to eat. This soft sleeper dining car is different. If we hadn't gone to see my uncle this time, we wouldn't even have sleeper tickets..."
"Xiaoju, would you like some water? I'll pour you some hot water."
"Brother Shan, you're so kind! You know Cuicui is jealous of me for marrying a good man like you. That's why she spread rumors that you're a gigolo. You keep a low profile and don't reveal your identity, so those snobs in the Youth Hostel only know how to bully you. Humph!"
"Xiao Ju, stop talking. It's okay if you just understand some things. It doesn't matter if I get a little wronged. As long as you know that I'm sincere to you, that's enough."
Male Bailian and male Green Tea are quite rare. 'I can tell from the fact that your brother Shan is the son of a high-ranking official. Look at those high-ranking officials, their children are all so low-key. Miss Xiaoju, your in-laws must be from a very powerful family.'
Wow, this commercial bragging is really intense. I fell asleep after reading a few pages of the book. The car gradually became quiet and everyone fell asleep. No one noticed that the rain was getting heavier outside.
"Ka-ka-" The car body shook violently, almost throwing Jiang Cha off, and the girl in the opposite shop hit her head, and was crying loudly at the moment.
The hallway was filled with the sounds of crying, cursing, and footsteps. The uncle pushed the door open and Jiang Cha opened the car window to look out. It had been raining heavily since someone had seen it, and the vision was quite blurry.
"It's a mess outside. The conductor is shouting with a loudspeaker. There's a landslide due to the heavy rain outside. The road ahead has collapsed. I don't know when it will be open to traffic."
The uncle heard some bad news outside, no wonder he braked suddenly just now, it seems like he is in trouble.
