For breakfast, the four of them went to a state-run restaurant and ordered quite a few dishes.
Su Ying looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table and really couldn't eat them.
She really had no appetite for such greasy food so early in the morning.
Gu Sinian served food to the two children, and seeing them enjoying their meal made him happy too.
He moved his chopsticks to serve his wife some food, but seeing that she had no appetite, he leaned closer and asked her in a low voice.
Why aren't you eating?
"I have no appetite."
"The food doesn't suit your taste?"
Su Ying nodded, looking at him with a resentful expression, "Who eats something so greasy first thing in the morning? I can't eat it."
“My fault. My fault. The two children wanted to eat these, and I completely forgot.”
Su Ying glared at him fiercely, "Now that you have a child, you don't want a big one, right?"
"I'm innocent! I'll order you a bowl of beef noodles, whichever you like."
"No need, there's no time."
"Then pack it up. My wife absolutely cannot go hungry."
The two little ones nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Daddy is right. We can't let Mommy go hungry."
Xiao Bao echoed in agreement, "Yes. We can't let our big baby go hungry. Next time, we'll definitely give Mommy some of her favorite food."
Su Ying looked at the table full of meat but had no appetite. She didn't believe that the father and his two sons could finish all the food.
"You've ordered so much. Let's see how you finish it. Wasting food is shameful."
Gu Sinian looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table with a bit of helplessness.
Looks like I'll have to pack it up. If I can't finish it, I'll just put it in my storage space and use it for lunch.
The four of them stood at the door, with Gu Sinian carrying two packed dishes in his hand.
He made a decision in his heart: he would never let the two children order food again next time. It was too greasy, and eating such greasy food in the morning made his stomach really uncomfortable.
Holding the net bag in his hand, he tugged at Su Ying's sleeve, "Let's put the beef noodles in the space, otherwise they'll get soggy and won't taste good."
Su Ying didn't give Gu Sinian any face at all and directly exposed him, "You want me to put leftovers in your food, right?"
Helpless, the man raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong. I won't let those two little brats make the decisions next time. They ordered all the fancy dishes, which were too greasy."
Although Su Ying was a little angry, she still took the things from Gu Sinian's hands and put them into her spatial storage under the man's cover.
"Let's go. It's almost time to get on the bus."
The couple each held one child's hand. Gu Sinian didn't have much luggage in his hands, which was more than enough to hold one child's hand.
Su Ying led Xiao Bao ahead, and the family of four turned into the train station waiting hall.
Inside the waiting room, people waited to have their tickets checked and board the train.
Su Ying raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch; there was still an hour before they had to get on the bus.
Why……
In those days, you had to queue up in advance before boarding the train, which took too much time.
Fortunately, after sitting in it many times, I gradually got used to it.
A family of four stood there listlessly waiting. The train station was bustling with people, and the waiting room was packed.
There was nowhere to sit, and I was hungry. I thought I could get on the bus and eat beef noodles right away.
Now there's no chance. The father and his two sons have eaten their fill, while she's the only one going hungry. That won't do.
He took a hard-boiled egg out of his crossbody bag, peeled it, and ate it with relish.
Xiao Bao and Gu Lichen smelled the aroma and looked up to see their mother eating eggs.
The little boy asked in his childish voice, "Mommy, what are you eating?"
Su Ying didn't intend to hide it; she directly exposed the half-eaten egg to the father and his two sons.
"I'll eat eggs."
Is there anything else?
Su Ying put the remaining half of the egg into her mouth and chewed it. With her hands free, she pinched Xiao Bao's fair and tender cheeks.
"Are you still eating?"
Xiao Bao nodded his little head, "I want to eat more."
Su Ying squatted down and touched Xiao Bao's hard belly. "Be careful not to tear your belly. You just had a big meal, so you can't eat eggs anymore. You can eat them next time, or at lunchtime. Mommy can give you one."
Xiao Bao nodded obediently, "Okay."
Gu Sinian looked at his precious daughter with a helpless expression. She was hungry again after just finishing her meal, but the little girl digested quickly.
"Yes. Listen to your mother, eating too much will make your stomach uncomfortable."
"All right."
Gu Lichen grew up alongside Gu Sinian and Su Ying, and he knows their temperaments very well.
How could you possibly give me eggs right after I've finished eating? My sister is being too naive.
After standing for about ten minutes, we were finally able to queue up to enter the station...
Su Ying held Xiao Bao's hand tightly, and Gu Sinian also held his son's hand tightly, just in case they were out and about.
They have been living in pain for more than three years since losing their daughter, and they know what it feels like to lose a child.
The couple were always extra cautious when going out.
Thirty minutes later, they finally arrived at the sleeper car.
A family of four occupied the entire carriage, which had two bunk beds. The two children knew exactly where to sleep.
The two children sat quietly in the carriage, and Su Ying took out some snacks from her bag for them.
"Have some snacks, behave and don't make a fuss, okay? Mommy's going to eat now."
The two little ones nodded vigorously, "Okay."
Su Ying had waited so long, and finally she could eat delicious beef noodles.
The beef noodles bought from the state-run restaurant were placed on the table, and the aroma of beef made the three men, who had already eaten breakfast, swallow hard.
Gu Sinian, shameless as ever, sidled up to him and asked for a few bites.
Xiao Bao and Gu Lichen also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to offer a few bites, but Su Ying refused.
"No. Children shouldn't eat too much, or their stomachs will feel uncomfortable later."
The two little ones pouted and went back to their seats to eat snacks, their soft, sweet conversation reaching Su Ying's ears.
"If we had known the beef noodles were so delicious, we would have just ordered the beef noodles."
"Next time, when we eat at a state-run restaurant, we'll just order beef noodles. They look better than the other dishes."
"Mmm. I'll do whatever you say, brother."
The couple looked at the two little ones with a hint of annoyance; what they couldn't have was always the most delicious.
This is fine too. Eating beef noodles is good, it's not wasteful, and it's cheap.
Su Ying is a little short on money lately. Although she has a lot of treasures in her spatial storage, she doesn't need them.
Once we arrive at the East Market, we need to sell a batch of live fish immediately, otherwise how will we get the money to buy 500 catties of dried yellow peaches?
Bartering is a good thing. In the short term, she may have lost out, but in the long term, she has gained.
In the future, those old items will fetch astronomical prices at auctions. Money is valuable now, so using money to exchange for old items is the most sensible choice.
If we just endure a few more years, we'll be able to get through the reform and opening up, then we'll be able to register as individual business owners and start our own businesses. Why would we be afraid of not having enough money?
Lost in her sweet dreams, Su Ying ate more than half of the beef noodles before finally giving them to Gu Sinian when she could no longer finish.
The two little ones watched Gu Sinian eat the rest of his beef noodles and swallowed hard.
The train glided slowly and arrived in Dongshi three days later.
