Old Mrs. Liu wiped her tears and said, "Weifang! Don't come home too often in the future. I have people to take care of me, and your elder sister and Xiangxiang visit me often. Don't go back and forth all the time. Long Chao is in poor health, and he's very tired from working and helping you take care of the children and do housework.
This train is not for humans. You can't get on or off without some strength. If you miss me, I'll come. My old bones are stronger than a dragon. When you get a big house, I'll come and live with you permanently.
Jiang Weifang nodded with tears in her eyes. "Okay, we're working hard to transfer to Beijing. Once I get there and settle down completely, I'll pick you up and take you to see Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall."
"Okay, Mom will wait. Mom can live to be over 90 years old. Mom can wait until then."
Zhou Xiang arrived at the train station and bought a standing ticket for a little after nine o'clock. There was still an hour left, but it was too cold outside, so he waited in the waiting room.
The wooden bench under my butt was cold, so I had to get up and walk around.
The day before yesterday, there were crowds of people at Zhucheng Railway Station, but it was deserted here.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is already the 25th day of the 12th lunar month. Nowadays, people basically try to rush home before the 24th. The 24th to the 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the time period for celebrating the New Year.
After walking back and forth for a long time, I finally heard the call for ticket checking.
There were only five of us on this train, so we didn't have to squeeze and could easily walk to the platform.
The train clanked into the station, and there were still many people in the ticket carriage.
After asking the conductor about the carriage for purchasing a new ticket, Zhou Xiang went to the carriage to purchase a sleeper ticket.
The small counter at one end of the dining car is where you can buy tickets, and there are already several people queuing there.
Zhou Xiang was standing at the back of the line, listening to the conductor who was acting as a ticket collector in front of him explaining that there were no sleeper berths available and that he had to wait until the passengers at the next stop got off the train.
Zhou Xiang didn't know when he could get a ticket, so he just went into the dining car and sat down.
The dining car waiter came over and said, "Little girl, you can't sit here."
"I eat, order."
"Breakfast is gone at this time, and lunch hasn't started yet."
"Then I'll wait here."
The waiter couldn't help it. He couldn't just kick people out, could he? They said they wanted to order, but the dining car wasn't serving them at the moment.
Other passengers also wanted to come over, but were stopped by the waiter.
"Huh? You're being unreasonable! How could that little girl go and sit there?"
"She's waiting to be ordered. The kitchen is preparing it and the food will be ready soon. Please wait until the girl actually serves the food before you order!"
The passenger thought it made sense, so I went to see if the girl was eating.
At half past ten, the dining car opened for business and the waiter handed Zhou Xiang the menu.
Zhou Xiang took it and saw the six dishes: braised radish with meat, braised potatoes with meat, sliced meat with cabbage, stir-fried radish strips, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and stir-fried cabbage slices, and he burst out laughing.
"Waiter, give me some braised potatoes with meat, rice, and seaweed soup."
"Okay!"
The waiter took the money, wrote the menu and handed it to the kitchen, and soon a dish and a soup were brought up.
Seeing this, the passenger stopped arguing and said, "I brought my own food! No need to waste money. Three yuan for a dish and soup. What a rip-off."
Zhou Xiang thought the food tasted okay, perhaps because it had just been made in the kitchen and was served to him, unlike the boxed lunch which had been kept for a long time.
After eating slowly for an hour, Zhou wanted to ask the waitress, "Sister, when does dinner start?"
The waiter was amused. "It's half past four. Are you planning to wait here for dinner?"
"Yes! Can't I?"
In terms of the thickness of her skin, even the corner of the city wall is not as thick as hers.
"Of course you can, unless you order ten dollars for dinner."
"That's no problem, as long as you can have fresh ones and don't bother with potatoes, radishes and cabbages."
"These are the only dishes we can eat in this weather!"
“There’s always kelp, right?”
"I'll ask the kitchen."
After a while, the waiter came back and asked, "Yes, what dishes do you want?"
"I want pork ribs stewed with kelp knots, or pork stewed with kelp knots. Is that okay?"
"Let me ask the kitchen staff if they can make it?"
The waiter came back and said, "The kitchen staff said they can make it. They'll make you a big bowl of pork ribs stewed with kelp knots. It's 15 yuan."
"Okay, this is the dish. I'll wait."
After saying that, he leaned back in the dining chair and squinted his eyes.
The waiter shook his head and laughed. The girl was really smart. She was spending money to get good food and sleep!
The people waiting in line for sleeper berths next to them all understood it, but not only did they not have thick enough skin, but their wallets were also not thick enough!
Amid the clanging sounds, Zhou Xiang fell into a daze and was suddenly awakened by a person sitting opposite him.
A young man dressed casually but with a low-key luxury, about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a smile on his face, elegant and handsome, it is obvious that he grew up in a happy environment.
Zhou Xiang narrowed his eyes. He looked very familiar, but he had definitely never seen him before in his life. No one he had ever met in his life would forget him, let alone such a special young man.
Although I was ignorant in my previous life, it was impossible for me to know such a wealthy person. Yes, this person not only exudes an aura of happiness and prosperity, but also exudes nobility. It is not the clothes on his body, but the nobility that emanates from his bones.
"Little girl, I felt very close to you when I saw you, so I came here uninvited and sat down. Do you mind?"
Close? Zhou Xiang suddenly felt irritated. No matter how handsome or noble the person in front of him was, it had nothing to do with him.
"What if I say I mind?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then relieved, "It's okay, if you mind, I'll sit at another table."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "Whatever."
The man saw that she closed her eyes again, but he didn't move away and stared at her face.
Zhou Xiang didn't want to pay attention to him. He didn't know whose young master he was. How could he see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain?
The man did not feel embarrassed when Zhou Xiang ignored him. Instead, he looked at her with interest. His childish face showed an expression of maturity, which was contradictory yet harmonious.
"Have you seen enough?" Zhou Xiang frowned and opened his eyes.
"No, don't worry about me, just continue sleeping, I'll keep watch over you."
"There's something wrong with your brain. You should see a doctor."
The man smiled and said, "I know whether I am sick or not, don't worry."
"Who's worried about you?" Zhou Xiangxiang raised his foot.
“You!”
"roll!"
"I don't know how, show me how!"
Zhou Xiang laughed out of anger. Everyone said that he had a sharp tongue, but this man who seemed to have grown up in a honey pot had an even sharper tongue.
"Okay, tell me your purpose!"
"You're going to the capital, right?"
Zhou Xiang nodded.
"Then why don't you follow me to my house?"
Zhou Xiang stood up, walked to his side, kicked him several times, leaving small footprints on his pants, and then gave him a label.
"Psycho!"
Unfortunately, I still have to wait for dinner and can’t leave immediately.
