Chapter 20: On the way to the countryside (Part 2)
It was already noon when Lu Xiaoxiao woke up. She saw many people eating. Some were eating white flour steamed buns, some were eating pancakes, some were eating meals bought on the train, and she also saw people eating cornmeal and black flour steamed buns.
She felt a little hungry watching so many people eating, so she took out the bag her aunt gave her and saw that in addition to ten white flour and vegetable buns that she had eaten in the morning, there were also ten boiled eggs.
She thought about it and used the bag to cover the buns and replaced all the buns with the cornmeal buns sold in the supermarket. They looked no different from the current buns, but the taste was very different.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a steamed bun and a boiled egg and started eating. This kind of food was considered average among the people around here and did not seem out of place, which was just what she wanted.
But she had only taken a few bites when someone else started to make a presence known. The girl in the plaid skirt opposite her took out a lunch box from her bag, opened it and found a box full of braised pork. Then she took out a steamed bun from her bag and ate it while saying, "Oh, how come this meat is so delicious! It's so greasy and fragrant, and it's so delicious when eaten with the bun. I wonder if anyone has ever eaten it?" She gave her a subtle look as she spoke.
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned by her behavior. Could this person be stupid? Did she think before she said this? Not only did the people around her change their expressions when they heard her words, but even the man and woman who had been chatting with her before changed their expressions. Those two people were eating white flour buns with pickles. Although the food was considered good, after she said this, those two people would definitely feel that the food was inferior.
Looking at her clueless and complacent look, Lu Xiaoxiao really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, no one noticed that she was targeting her and they all thought she was showing off.
When Lu Xiaoxiao thought of this, she felt better. She even held a moment of silence in her heart for the girl in the plaid skirt.
She had just finished eating the cornmeal buns and boiled eggs when she saw an old lady in patched clothes saying to the girl in the plaid skirt opposite her: "Girl, my grandson has never eaten meat since he was born. Can you let him have some?"
After hearing what the old lady said, the girl in the plaid skirt closed the lunch box with a snap and put it into her bag, all in one go.
After the girl in the plaid skirt finished doing all this, she raised her proud chin and said, "Who are you? Why should you give meat to your grandson? If you want to eat it, you can't buy it. If you can't afford it, don't eat it. It seems that you will never be able to afford meat in your lifetime."
The people around all showed angry expressions after hearing what the girl in the plaid skirt said. Although it had nothing to do with them, they just found the words so unpleasant to hear, so they kept condemning the girl in the plaid skirt.
The old lady was not a vegetarian either. When she heard what the girl in the plaid skirt said, she immediately replied, "You, a money-loser, can eat meat, so why can't my golden grandson eat meat? Hurry up and take out your meat. My sweet grandson is waiting to eat meat."
As the plot develops to this point, everyone around is silent. I guess they are also speechless about these two people. They are both rare and top-notch!
Maybe the noise was too loud, the lady in charge came over. After learning what happened, she was speechless about the two people. So she took the girl in the plaid skirt and the lady to a corner with few people to mediate.
After a while, the girl in the plaid skirt came back. Seeing her angry face, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that she had probably ceded land and paid compensation.
People, if they don't do anything, they won't die. She didn't do anything to provoke her, so why did he keep staring at her?
