"Not yet, I was thinking of coming over to eat with you." He still prefers rice, but most of the food at home is steamed buns, so they can't just cook rice for him. The main reason is that the family has a limited amount of rice, and he can't bear to give it all away.
Come and have dinner with Comrade Erdan, and you'll get to eat rice.
"Wait a moment, let me warm up the stove. Shouldn't the soup be heated up?"
"You can clean up. I'll make the hot soup. I want to eat rice."
Qian rolled her eyes, knowing this person was after her rice: "You're not incapable, can't you cook some rice for yourself?"
"I don't like cooking for one person. You have some rice, right? I'll give you all the rice I grow. How about you cook for me?"
"You're beautiful." She verbally refused, but her actions contradicted her words.
Qian Xiao found some pickled vegetables made by her mother and ate them with meat bone soup with Sun Kaicheng until they were stuffed. Qian Xiao felt that she had gained a lot of weight since she started eating freely at school.
As the train pulled away, Sun's mother reluctantly looked away. She also wanted to go with her son Chengcheng to see his parents, but unfortunately, she didn't have the time.
Mr. Sun patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "Alright, the car's already gone, let's go back now. We'll see if we can get a holiday next year, then we'll go visit your parents."
"Hmm, you've already arranged with someone to take care of the two kids, right?"
"Don't worry, it's all agreed that if those two kids run into bad guys, who knows who will be the unlucky one."
Their father-in-law was going so far from home, how could they feel at ease if they didn't investigate thoroughly? Before their father-in-law and his family went, they had already learned quite a bit about the people in Qianjiatun, especially the Qian Jiefang family.
Despite growing up in a farming family, Qian Xiao is no less capable than his youngest son, both in terms of intelligence and skill. Otherwise, would he have been so at ease letting the two children carry so much stuff on their own?
"No matter how good they are at fighting, they are still children. It's better to keep a closer eye on them."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, everything has been taken care of." That's his own son, how could he really not care?
Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng also boarded a sleeper train this time, but there were significantly more people on the train than when Qian Xiao came, probably because it was almost Chinese New Year.
The two put all their luggage away. These were all things that were visible; they couldn't just leave empty-handed. If they suddenly found themselves with a lot of extra stuff when they arrived at their destination, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
After settling down to rest, Sun Kaicheng and Qian Xiao exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes. It seemed the journey back would be quite exciting.
A man suddenly left the corridor, but with so many people doing all sorts of things, no one really noticed this scene. However, Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng did notice that someone was staring at them.
"Why don't you go find that person your uncle mentioned and say hello?"
"No need, we don't know what that person's purpose is yet, let's wait and see. Do you want something to eat?" They arrived early and haven't had lunch yet.
"Wait a little longer. I ate a lot this morning and I'm not hungry yet. Are you hungry?"
Sun Kaicheng shook his head: "Let's wait a while. It's relatively safe during the day." The two of them look too young, so it's normal for them to be targeted.
The two ate well and looked quite young, so many people were watching them. Fortunately, they were sitting in sleeper berths, so at least no one tried to beg for food because of their age.
The car ride was boring. Sun Kaicheng kept reading, while Qian Xiao was so bored that he closed his eyes and chatted with Shuangdan.
"Host, have you noticed someone is watching you?"
"We found quite a few. I wonder what they do?"
"Guess what I discovered?"
He put it quite mysteriously: "I won't guess, you can tell me if you want."
Double eggs...
Sun Kaicheng almost burst out laughing. Ever since he and Qian Xiao truly shared the space, he could hear Qian Xiao and the little system talking in the space. When he felt tired, he loved to listen to the two of them chatting, which always made him instantly happy.
"Why are you like this? What's wrong with just guessing?" Shuangdan immediately got impatient. Can't we just have a normal chat?
"Then why are you like this? What's wrong with just saying it directly?" Qian Xiao rolled her eyes inwardly. Why does a system have to be so dramatic?
Double Egg... Why does it feel like its host is becoming more and more shameless?
"Hey, that short guy who was staring at you guys at the beginning, you don't remember him at all?"
Qian Xiao frowned. She could only sense that someone was staring at them, and that gaze seemed to want to burn them. She glanced at him but didn't really see what he looked like. She just knew he was a short and rather thin man.
"I didn't look closely either. What? Could it be someone you know?"
"Hey, people always say that those who cultivate their mental power have exceptionally good memories, so why can't you remember things at all?"
"Can we stop with all this nonsense? Just tell me what will happen, will you lose a piece of meat?"
"Fine, fine, I'll talk, okay? Why do you get so angry after just a few words? You can't have this kind of temper. Do you really want to be an old maid for the rest of your life?"
I learned this from Qian Xiao's grandma, and Shuangdan felt that it made a lot of sense.
"Shut up! What business is it of yours whether I'm an old maid or not? I'm still a kid in my teens. Whether I'm an old maid or not, I know you'll be a bachelor for life."
"Why are you attacking me personally? I don't even have a gender, so how could I possibly think about finding a partner? I've never heard of a system that can find partners!"
"No, you've confused me. Let's get back to the man from earlier."
"Do you remember the human trafficker you arrested when we first came to Longcheng?"
"How could I not remember? Have you forgotten? Not long after, the police station gave me a bonus. My new tea mug was even a prize. What? This person is connected to those people?"
"Yes, this person is one of the people who were watching the commotion back then. Didn't you discover several accomplices? Those people were cowards and tried to run away, which is why you found them."
"This guy acted like nothing was wrong back then, and we never suspected him. But his appearance today exposed him. Do you think he might be a remnant of those human traffickers?"
You really know how to use words. "Remnants"? Why don't you just say he's a rebel?
"You mean, among those human traffickers arrested following the leads, there are still some who escaped? This could very well be the missing one?"
"Yes, that's what I think too. Otherwise, what a coincidence! I noticed that this person started staring at you in the waiting room, especially the way he looked at you, like he wanted to devour you."
