After the man with glasses moved to sit next to Ruan Mianmian, he didn't say anything, just like the other passengers, without any other unnecessary movements.
Ruan Mianmian observed for a while and then stopped paying attention.
Because she had already exchanged her points for a miniature alarm in the system mall.
The alarm is in her pocket, and it will alert her as long as someone does something that is beyond the normal range towards her.
After finishing all these, Ruan Mianmian leaned against the car window and slowly fell asleep.
Ruan Mianmian's first night on the train passed quickly. When it was still dawn, she woke up completely.
Ruan Mianmian leaned on it for the whole night and now her back and waist are really sore.
No wonder people nowadays don’t like to travel far. One reason is that they don’t have money, and the other is that it’s painful to take a bus.
And it often takes days and nights. There is basically no scope for movement, and it is all supported by willpower.
"You are awake."
The sudden sound startled Ruan Mianmian.
Turning around, I saw it was the gay man wearing glasses.
Ruan Mianmian did not answer him, but stood up and walked directly to the toilet in the car with her travel bag.
While most people are still asleep, go wash up and get some water.
When she finished and came back, everyone in their position was awake.
Moreover, the mother and son seemed to be getting along quite well with the man wearing glasses.
She didn't want to meddle in other people's business. After returning to her seat, Ruan Mianmian took out bread to eat this time.
The packaging bag was torn when it was in the space. The sweet smell made the little boy look at it again, wanting to possess it for himself.
Ruan Mianmian was on guard this time, and the little boy was right in front of her, with a small table between them that he couldn't reach.
The little boy's mother took out a few biscuits from her luggage and stuffed them into her son's hands. This was the dry food they brought with them. It was obvious that the biscuits were hard because they were cold.
The little boy didn't want to eat it and was about to cry when the man with glasses spoke up, "This pancake is cold and hard. It's not good for children to eat it. Let me take this pancake with me to the dining car and ask the railway staff to find a way to heat up the pancake for you."
As he said this, he took out an egg from his pocket and said, "Let the child eat this first to fill his stomach. I am an adult, so I won't eat it. Give it to the child."
This time, not only Ruan Mianmian saw it, but another female comrade sitting in their position was also stunned.
In this day and age, is it still possible to give away something as good as eggs? And the person being given the gift is someone you just met by chance?
The woman took the eggs and for the first time thanked the man who had been helping her since yesterday.
"Thank you, brother. You are such a nice person. Unlike some people, you are petty and calculating." As he said this, he glanced at Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian ignored her altogether and pretended she saw nothing, just eating her own food.
The man with glasses took the biscuits for the mother and son and left.
Ruan Mianmian also finished eating the bread.
I had nothing to do, so I took out a math textbook from my bag and started reading.
She has been busy lately and hasn't studied seriously for a long time. She has nothing to do on the train, so she might as well take out her books and do a few more questions.
This way I can kill some time.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian start to read and study, the woman curled her lips and murmured, "Pretending."
The man with glasses was gone for quite a long time. Ruan Mianmian had already finished two pages of questions when he came back with the hot pancakes.
The woman who took the cake said thank you again and quickly shared the cake with her son.
With this help, the mother and son became noticeably more friendly with the man with glasses, and they were no longer defensive and silent like they were yesterday.
Instead, I deliberately started chatting with him loudly.
Another female comrade sitting next to the woman was so annoyed that she told her several times, but the woman ignored her. She had no choice but to stand up frequently and walk to the connecting part of the carriage to get some fresh air. Every time she walked away, the woman would let her son sit in her seat and wait for her to come back before moving away.
Ruan Mianmian was so annoyed that she couldn't concentrate on reading.
There is an essential difference between noisy ambient sound and someone deliberately speaking loudly in your ear.
The former can be overcome and ignored, but the latter cannot be helped.
Ruan Mianmian took a deep breath and then put away her textbooks, paper and pen.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian put away her things, the woman felt as if she had won and a smug look appeared on her face.
Then continue chatting loudly with people.
Ruan Mianmian had no choice but to listen to her telling her whole story.
It turned out that the woman's name was Hong Xia and her son's name was Xiao Tian. They were going to look for her husband. Her husband was a soldier before, but he was injured and retired after only two years. Now he is a miner and is not at home all year round. Only her parents and her son were at home.
The mine had a heavy production task this year and she couldn't go home, so her mother-in-law asked her to take the child to see him and take care of him for a while.
The man with glasses also revealed his situation through the conversation. He said his name was Zhang Cheng, and he was also a soldier before, but later he was demobilized and returned to the local area. This trip was to visit a former comrade-in-arms.
Ruan Mianmian just listened without saying a word. She didn't want to participate in such a private conversation.
And she always felt that this man named Zhang Cheng was a little strange.
At noon, because they were having a great conversation, Zhang Cheng took the initiative to buy two more lunch boxes for Hong Xia and her son.
This made Hongxia very happy. She and her son had always eaten pancakes, and now they had boxed lunches, which felt like a bargain.
"Brother Zhang Cheng, you are such a nice person. This is Xiaotian's first time to have a box lunch." In fact, this was also Hong Xia's first time to have a box lunch. But she was embarrassed to say it, so she used her son's name.
"Mrs. Hong, you are too polite. Your husband was a soldier before, and so was I. This is fate. People who have served in the military serve the people no matter where they go. It is not easy for you as family members. I will treat you to two boxes of food, which is nothing."
"Yes, yes, it was hard to be a soldier before, and it is even harder to work in the mine now." When Hong Xia mentioned this, she changed her previous attitude and seemed to really care about her man.
