At the beginning, the people in the carriage were all quite obedient, occupying their own territory and ignoring each other.
But after a while, some people couldn't sit still anymore.
A young couple gathered in the direction of Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo, and then sat on the lower bunk opposite Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo.
They first asked where Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo were going and what they were doing.
Without waiting for Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo to answer, the couple introduced themselves, "We are on a business trip, and the factory has an important task assigned to us!" said the female comrade of the young couple.
"At this time, most people who go out are on business trips, right? Are you one of them too?" the man asked with a smile.
Li Jinfeng: "We are in Shanghai to visit relatives!"
When it comes to things like traveling, it's enough to know it in your heart; there's no need to talk about it openly.
"Visiting relatives? If you go now, it has to be an elder with whom you have a very good relationship, right?" The man said, his eyes casually glancing at the shoulder bag Li Jinfeng was carrying.
Although he quickly looked away, that look made Li Jinfeng very uncomfortable.
After that, the female comrade kept asking Li Jinfeng about family matters.
Sometimes he asked Li Jinfeng where she was from, and sometimes he asked Li Jinfeng what she did.
Because of the look in the man's eyes, Li Jinfeng didn't say anything and just made up whatever she could.
She replied, “I am from the south, from the same province as the leader. My family has been farmers for generations, making a living from farming.
This is my husband. To be honest with you, brother and sister-in-law, we are not going to seek refuge with relatives, we are going to borrow money."
"Borrow money? Borrow what money?" the man couldn't help but ask.
Li Jinfeng sighed, "Alas, there are too many children at home. I can't afford to raise ten of them. I just want to see if my relatives can share some food rations with me so that I can feed my ten children."
Lu Jianguo on the side: "..."
"Ah? Your life is so hard?" The woman looked confused.
She looked at Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo, and saw that they were obviously dressed quite well.
The scarf Li Jinfeng is wearing is made of coarse wool and costs several yuan per pound in the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Hmm!" Li Jinfeng looked embarrassed and tugged at the scarf around her neck. "This is a scarf I borrowed from the person in charge of our cafeteria. My family is so poor that we don't even have a cotton-padded jacket for the winter."
The woman glanced at the man, as if asking what he meant.
Li Jinfeng increasingly felt that there was something wrong between the couple.
Just then, Lu Jianguo shook his shoulders, and Li Jinfeng immediately said, "His father, be gentle. We still have to return your clothes to Sister Chen's husband. I promised to wash her clothes for three years before she agreed to lend us clothes for a few days."
The corner of Lu Jianguo's mouth twitched, "..."
The couple saw the heartache in Li Jinfeng's eyes, which didn't seem fake.
He suddenly felt bored and stopped paying attention to Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo.
After a while, the woman said she had to pee urgently and asked the man to take her away, but in the blink of an eye, they went to chat up other people.
Li Jinfeng approached Lu Jianguo and whispered in his ear, "Do you see what's going on? I've always felt like these two aren't good people."
Lu Jianguo replied softly: "Thief!"
"Ah? Really?"
In her previous life, Li Jinfeng had seen many thieves, but in this era, she was completely convinced of the public security and enthusiastic comrades of this era.
I never thought that I would encounter a thief who looked like a human being in broad daylight.
