This train ride lasts a whole day and a night. The seats are literally hard! There's not even any sponge on the seats. Luckily, I was dressed warmly in winter, otherwise my butt would have really hurt.
An energetic boy certainly wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. Sure enough, not long after the train left the station, Zhan Tianqi took out his cards.
He even dragged the educated youth, whose name he had just learned, to join the battle. Yue Feng and Zhang Yuan were not to be outdone. They took out a second deck of cards and opened a second table.
This game is really a great way to kill time and quickly enhance relationships. Soon, even the people in the front and back seats were leaning back on their chairs to pay attention to the battle situation.
Those who were still far away left their seats and stood in the corridor to watch.
Later in the game, they started to rotate players, with the winner taking over and the next one taking over.
It was not until the flight attendants started selling steamed buns and boxed lunches with a cart that the fierce battle in the first half ended.
When the flight attendant pushed the cart away, several people each received a box lunch. Even the newly met male educated youth, Song Ming, who was not short of money, ordered a box lunch of braised hairtail fish.
Nowadays, the boxed lunches on the train are still very generous. Xu Manman ordered a dish of braised pork. Although it was not as delicious as what she cooked herself, it was also at the level of a normal home-cooked meal.
However, the portion was too large, and Xu Manman had already eaten a lot for breakfast, so she couldn't finish the whole box of lunch by herself. She gave one-third of it to her cousin so that he could be full and Xu Manman wouldn't waste anything. Li Xiao and Liu Hua did the same.
The following time was spent watching people playing cards and eating, until dark when the carriage became quiet.
The boys took turns to keep watch. Xu Manman could have slept on the small table, but the seat was too hard, so she slept with her arms as a pillow. Her hands and legs felt numb, and most importantly, she was cold. In the second half of the night, she sat up again and slept on her cousin's shoulder.
I changed several postures throughout the night. When I woke up in the morning, my whole body was sore and my neck felt like it had a stiff neck. It was difficult to even turn it around.
I got up and went to the bathroom, closed the door and slipped into the space. I used the time difference to go to the bathroom and quickly took a shower. I hadn't taken a shower for two days and I felt like I was going to be stinky.
She didn't dry-shampoo her hair, and used fragrance-free shower gel. She changed her inner clothes and wore her original outer clothes. She opened the door and came out looking refreshed. It was only more than three minutes later, which was not too long. At most, someone would suspect that she had had sex.
Sure enough, the person behind covered his nose before entering. Xu Manman twitched her mouth, lowered her head and quickly returned to her seat.
"Manman, I bought you steamed buns. Eat them while they're hot." When she went to the toilet, a cart happened to pass by.
Xu Manman nibbled on the steamed bun. It wasn't as soft as the ones made with pure white flour, but it was more substantial.
He ate the steamed buns bite by bite with the water in the kettle.
After sitting on the train for a whole day and a night, everyone was a little tired and didn't have the energy to continue doing things like yesterday. Fortunately, the train would arrive at the station in the afternoon.
So during the day, everyone stayed in their seats quietly and chatted, occasionally standing up to stretch their muscles.
After eating boxed lunches all day yesterday, Xu Manman wanted to change the taste, so she suggested going to the food truck to have a look, which received unanimous response from everyone.
But someone had to stay behind to look after the luggage, so they went in two groups. Xu Manman and Liu Hua took their boyfriends and cousins with them.
The dining car was a little far from their carriage. After passing through several carriages, they finally arrived at the dining car. Compared with the noisy hard seat carriage, it was obviously much quieter here, and the aroma of food was everywhere.
The four of them ordered braised pork, sauerkraut pork stewed with vermicelli, braised eggplant with sauce, and stir-fried cabbage. The staple food was naturally steamed buns. They were all common dishes, and the taste... Because they were freshly out of the pot, they had a stronger wok aroma than the ones in the lunch box.
Of course, in the end, it was the "Clean Plate" campaign. A few people also refilled their kettles with hot water, returned to the original carriage, and the rest of the people went to eat.
When Xu Manman woke up from another nap, Chen Ming told her that they would soon arrive in Hai City.
The train began to slow down and enter the station. Xu Manman and a few others had already packed their luggage and were standing in the aisle to line up.
As the car slowed down, Xu Manman's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt a little homesick.
The train stopped and Xu Manman followed her cousin closely, got off the train and walked out of the station.
Just after following the system prompts to sign in to the Haishi map, Xu Manman heard someone calling her.
"Manman! Manman!"
Xu Manman looked in the direction of the voice in surprise. A refined and handsome middle-aged man was standing by pushing a car and looking at her happily.
"dad!"
"Uncle!"
