"As dinner time approaches, passengers who need to eat, please go to carriage number five to collect your meal."
This train is providing a free dinner for incoming university students. Those who wish to receive a dinner can simply show their admission notice to our train attendants.
Thank you for listening. Have a pleasant journey.
As soon as the announcement ended, a flight attendant pushed a food cart over to sell meals: "Would you like a set meal? Five yuan a set, five yuan a set."
Passengers requiring a complimentary meal should present their admission notice.
"Five yuan a serving? Go rob someone, it's so expensive." Fu Xiaomei muttered unhappily after hearing the first part of the flight attendant's sentence.
Upon hearing that college students could receive a free meal, she immediately stood up proudly and waved to the flight attendant: "Here, my son is a college student, give me a free meal."
As Fu Xiaomei spoke, she gestured for her son to bring out the admission notice. The young man sitting next to her stood up embarrassedly, took the luggage off the shelf, and began rummaging through it.
The woman's words instantly drew everyone's attention in the carriage, and people began to discuss them.
"College students, they're really amazing."
"Look, other people's children are so successful, unlike ours."
"sharp!"
"What university does this child attend?"
The entire carriage looked at her with envy, whether they envied her for having a college student son or for being able to get a free meal, which saved her a real five yuan.
Fu Xiaomei is like a proud peacock.
The young man finally found his admission notice among the many pieces of luggage and handed it to the flight attendant with a flushed face.
The flight attendant accepted it with a smile.
"Teachers' College in Tianzhou City? Young man, that's great. Here's your meal." The flight attendant handed the tray to the young man.
When everyone heard that it was a teachers' college in Tianzhou City, they looked at the family of three with even more envy.
These days, no matter what university it is, getting into it is considered impressive.
Fu Xiaomei felt extremely satisfied and sat down happily. She took out the steamed buns she had bought before boarding the train from her luggage bag, intending to use the free meal to eat with the steamed buns and solve the dinner problem for her family of three.
Lin Guihua glanced at the rice dishes on the small table and discovered that the set meal included boiled fish chunks, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, pig's trotter soup, and rice.
No wonder such a lavish meal costs five yuan.
Remembering that her son also had an acceptance letter, she quickly stood up: "We need another free meal here too!"
For a moment, the people in the carriage began to whisper among themselves.
"Is this woman trying to dine and dash?"
"Haha, did she think it was free?"
Fu Xiaomei, sitting at the opposite table, gave a disdainful smile.
I thought to myself, these poor bastards probably think that anyone can eat this free meal!
"Ma'am, are you deaf? This meal plan is free for college students, not for helping the poor!"
Fu Xiaomei's son nudged her: "Mom, stop talking."
The flight attendant looked over, equally bewildered.
Lin Guihua realized that this woman was subtly implying that she was poor and that poor people like her didn't deserve to go to university.
"You're so snobbish! Son, show me your acceptance letter. I'm going to eat this free meal today and see what it tastes like!"
Liu Yihang cooperated by taking out his admission notice from his bag and handing it over along with ten yuan.
"Comrade, please give me a free meal, and two more meals at the regular price. Here's ten yuan."
Before the train attendant could open the admission notice for a closer look, a middle-aged man in the carriage suddenly stood up: "Young man, is this... an admission notice from Tianzhou University?"
Liu Yihang nodded calmly.
The man exclaimed excitedly, "Good lad, impressive! Really impressive!"
The carriage erupted in chaos.
Tianzhou University? This is a university that I've only seen reported on on TV. Many people are seeing Tianzhou University students for the first time!
I never expected this seemingly unremarkable young man to be so capable. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. When you're out in the world, you should never look down on others. This is a perfect example.
The train attendant opened the beautifully crafted notice and exclaimed, "I never expected there to be so many talented people on this train!" This statement indirectly confirmed Liu Yihang's identity.
After saying that, she returned the notice and quickly served three meals, the portions were generous, and the spoons didn't shake at all; the plates were full.
When Lin Guihua saw that her son had ordered two more meals, she naturally knew that they were for the couple. Although she was very happy that her son was filial, she still felt a little sorry for him and said, "Hanghang, your dad and I still have some steamed buns and dumplings from lunch. One serving is enough for you."
"How can I eat if you don't eat? If you're going to eat, then eat together. If you're not going to eat, then nobody eats!" Liu Yihang earnestly advised.
"What a filial child! You're so lucky, ma'am," the middle-aged woman next door said with a smile.
She doesn't envy other people's sons for getting into Tianzhou University, but she envies those who not only have the ability to get into Tianzhou University, but also have a rare filial piety.
Everyone exclaimed in admiration, "Sister, you are so lucky to have such a wonderful child. He is a person of noble character!"
When it comes to character, everyone looked at Fu Xiaomei and her family of three.
This woman just mocked someone for being poor, but it turns out that the other person's child got into a school a hundred times better than her child's, and the child is also filial. It's so satisfying!
Lin Guihua smiled and gestured to the people next door. She knew her son's stubborn temper and couldn't bear to refuse his kindness. When she saw the full meal the flight attendant had given her, which was almost twice as much as Fu Xiaomei's, her face lit up with a smile.
They quickly took the trays from the flight attendant and placed them on the table. Fu Xiaomei's tray was placed in the middle, taking up most of the space, while Lin Guihua pushed her tray over, taking up half of each side.
Fu Xiaomei couldn't even utter a word of accusation; she felt it was more humiliating and embarrassing than being slapped hard across the face.
She should have been the one in the limelight, but this poor bastard stole the spotlight and ruined everything. She could almost hear the mockery coming from all directions, saying that she was overestimating herself and making a fool of herself.
She never imagined that the child raised by this poor family would be able to get into Tianzhou University. The child even paid for his parents' meals. Looking at the son sitting next to her, she found him utterly displeasing.
When the young man saw his mother looking over, he offered her the steamed bun in a flattering manner: "Mom, would you like some?"
Fu Xiaomei shoved his hand away: "What are you eating? You've made me so angry, you're just embarrassing me."
The young man looked at the steamed buns that had been overturned on the ground, tears welling in his eyes, and remained silent.
A woman next door to Fu Xiaomei mocked, "Why are you taking your shameful behavior out on the child!"
"Exactly, it's inexplicable!"
Fu Xiaomei received glares from everyone in the carriage, which made her so angry that she got up and hid in the toilet, too afraid to come out.
The system's voice rang in Liu Yihang's ears: "The task of slapping Fu Xiaomei in the face has been completed, and the task reward has been issued."
