"Didn't you say you bought the lower berth? Why are there so many people occupying it?"
The young man who knocked on the door was fair and clean, with hair oiled and neatly combed into a 3:7 split. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He was tall and thin, and wore a black woolen coat. Even in the winter, his sleeves were rolled up, revealing a silver watch on his wrist.
Next to the young man stood a cute girl, with dark eyebrows and willow eyes, wearing a well-tailored woolen coat, and a shiny Chairman badge on her collar. Compared with the current girls who generally wear plain makeup, this girl is obviously more fashionable, with eyebrows drawn and blush applied, and a very complexion-enhancing orange lipstick on her lips. Her long hair was scattered behind her, with bangs at the eyebrows, and a black lace headband, and she looked energetic and fashionable.
Nowadays, those who dare to go out dressed like this are not children from ordinary families, Jiang Yiluo sighed in his heart.
It was just that the contempt and arrogance in the pretty girl's eyes ruined her pure and pretty face, making her look a little cunning.
The tickets the Jiang family just bought were a series of tickets, from box 03 to box 06 in box 7. Apparently, boxes 01 and 02 were bought by the two young men who had just walked in.
"Oh, sorry little girl, it's still early, and it's too much trouble to climb to the upper bunk, so I'll take your seat for a while."
The old lady said cheerfully, and moved to the side, holding her grandson and Ruan Ruan on her lap. Jiang Yilu was smart this time and hid next to Jiang Dahai.
Nowadays, many people travel by train with their families. To save money, some people buy a sleeper ticket for their whole family, and the rest buy sitting or standing tickets, so that the whole family can squeeze into a small bed. However, people cannot stay in the upper berth all day long, so the lower berth becomes a public seat by default.
Those with a little sense of public morality will greet the owner of the bed and try to be careful not to mess up the bed when sitting on it. Those with poor manners will take off their shoes and socks as soon as they sit on it, pick their feet and eat sunflower seeds, and do whatever they want to make themselves comfortable, as if they are the owner of the bed.
Therefore, when traveling, some people who are particular about money don't like to buy the lower berth, and the upper berth is too high, so the middle berth is particularly popular. Of course, it is a different story for those who have children at home or are too timid to climb the middle or upper berth.
"Little girl, come and sit down!" Seeing that the young couple didn't come over, the old lady patted the empty seat next to her and said, "Come, come, have an apple, it's so sweet."
The old lady thought that she couldn't just sit in someone else's shop for free, so she looked at the bag of apples that had already been taken out and handed it to the two of them enthusiastically.
"Why are you sitting here? It's so dirty."
The little girl said in a delicate voice, looking at the messy bedsheets from the previous passengers, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. "I don't care, you ask the flight attendant to change the bedsheets for me, a bunch of dirty kids, I don't know if they have any fleas on them."
The fashionable girl bossed the young man beside her and her condescending tone made the young man's eyes flash with hidden disgust.
"Hey, little girl, how can you talk like that? We are all clean, where do the fleas come from?" Old Mrs. Weng became a little dissatisfied after hearing her words. The little girl was quite pretty, so why did she have such a sharp tongue?
The old lady was so angry that she took back the hand that was handing over the apple. She would not give her good apples to such a person.
"Qianqian, don't be so willful. It's only one night. Why don't you sleep in the middle bunk and leave the lower bunk for me." The tall and thin man pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and persuaded the girl named Qianqian in a kind voice.
"Why?" The girl raised her eyebrows and angrily pushed the young man in front of her away. The man was caught off guard and fell backwards.
"Ah——" the little girl screamed and reached out to help the man who was falling backwards, but she was obviously a step too slow and could only watch the man's head about to hit the top corner of the middle bunk.
"Be careful." Huo Wu took a step forward and supported the man swiftly.
"Thank you." The man thanked Huo Wu while still in shock.
The little girl who had just lost her grip couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the man being supported. She pouted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't mean it.
"I don't care. I want to move to the lower bunk. I'm telling you, Pei Qing, my parents are very unhappy that I'm with you. They're already very unhappy that I accompanied you to this country place during the Chinese New Year. Look at your family, what kind of people you are."
Fang Qianqian was a young lady who was raised in an ivory tower and could never tolerate any grievance. However, when she and her crush went to his hometown and saw their small, shabby house and a bunch of dirty brothers and sisters, all the preparations she had made for herself before coming to J Province were shattered. In particular, the coarse words and deeds of the other party's mother made Fang Qianqian regret that she did not listen to her parents.
"I don't care. Anyway, when I come back, I want to see a clean lower bunk. Otherwise, it's over for both of us."
Fang Qianqian left with a harsh remark, and turned away angrily. Her pair of exquisite high-heeled leather shoes made a crisp clicking sound as they stepped on the iron floor of the train.
When she left, the remaining people in the carriage suddenly felt a little awkward.
"Young man, what's going on here——"
Weng Hong held her little grandson and Ruan Ruan in her arms and stood up: "We won't sit here anymore, go and call them back." The old lady sighed: "This girl has a really bad temper-"
"Auntie, please sit here. Dahai and I will go ask the flight attendant if they can bring some stools over." Huo Wu and Jiang Dahai stood up, gave their seats to Weng Hong, opened the door of the carriage and walked towards the carriage at the back.
They also wanted to find out how the three meals a day on the train were provided. They brought their own dry food, but in the middle of winter, they needed a place to heat up.
Old Mrs. Weng didn't bother to be polite with them. She sat down next to Ruan Yuanjiang, holding her two babies, and smiled at him.
"I'm sorry, Auntie." Pei Qing apologized to Weng Hong embarrassedly. Fortunately, he met a reasonable old lady. If it were someone else, there would be no way to understand what happened today.
"Young man, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I think you are such a handsome guy, how come you found such a bad-tempered girl?"
The old lady actually had a bit of a face control in her subconscious, and had a mysterious liking for these clean-looking young men and women. At this moment, she saw that Pei Qing was good-looking and polite, and couldn't help but want to persuade him.
What a nice guy, how could he fall for such a little girl?
The old lady twisted her mouth. The little girl just now said that her baby Chouchou had fleas. That was nonsense. She had just given Chouchou a bath last night.
"Qianqian actually has a good temper on weekdays. It's just that this is her first time in our J Province and she isn't used to it." Pei Qing spoke for the little girl while making the bed.
The smiling face turned cold and indifferent the moment he turned around. What he wanted was only what Fang Qianqian could give him, otherwise, how could he tolerate such a woman.
Seeing that the child was defending the little girl, Weng Hong shook her head and said nothing. Life is a matter of life, maybe they are destined to be a couple. As an old lady, she should stop talking too much to avoid being annoying.
Pei Qing made the bed, picked up the small suitcase he had just brought, nodded to a few people and walked out of the carriage, apparently to look for the girl named Qianqian.
"Luckily, our Xiuxiu is quiet and well-behaved. If my son also fell in love with such a daughter-in-law, I would be sick to death."
When the old lady saw the people leaving, she patted her chest exaggeratedly, as if she was about to faint from anger. Chouchou, who was sitting on her lap, was obviously very accustomed to her grandmother's performance. He giggled and clapped his hands, keeping the rhythm for her grandmother.
Seeing her exaggerated performance with a beaming face, Jiang Yilu couldn't help laughing out loud. The old lady was really funny.
Ruan Yuanjiang, who was sitting next to her, was obviously not as happy as Jiang Yilu, and he carefully dodged the old lady's dancing. He smiled bitterly in his heart, he had never seen such a "lively" old lady.
"The equipment in this train is really complete. There is also a place to get hot water. The attendant girl is quite nice. Knowing that we have several children with us, she gave me a water bottle. I just got a pot of hot water."
Jiang Dahai came in carrying a brown iron kettle with two rich peonies printed on the outer shell, which was very contemporary.
Huo Wu, who was walking behind him, was holding two small wooden chairs. Because they were to be placed in the aisle of the box, the two chairs were very small. They were fine for children to sit on, but would be a bit difficult for adults to sit on.
“This is not open.”
The old lady looked at the small wooden chairs the two men brought, stopped smiling, frowned and said helplessly.
This small chair, two of them put together, is not enough for her to sit on. Although she often says that she is slim, she really doesn't know her own physique. If she sits down, the chair will collapse.
"It's okay, just give it to the little ones. Dahai and I will lie down on the upper bunk and come down after dinner. It will only take a day, so just take a break and sleep all day."
Huo Wu said with a smile, stopping the old lady from wanting to stand up.
The lower bunk was originally intended for Old Mrs. Weng. At her age, with such a small child, it was obviously not realistic to ask her to climb up and down.
"Brother Ruan, you are so lucky to have two good sons."
The old lady gave Ruan Yuanjiang a thumbs up and said, "Of course, my son is also very filial. Next time I go back to Yuchuan, I will definitely let Dandan thank you."
Jiang Yilu has become numb to the couple that the old lady always talks about. No matter what they talk about, the old lady can always turn it back to her son and daughter-in-law. In the old lady's eyes, there is nothing bad about her family.
But what kind of a name is this Dandan? Is he going to form a stinky egg with his son? He wanted to see the expression of a grown man when he was called Dandan.
In an instant, Jiang Yilu's evil taste came back again.
