After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Wen Sihe fed Niu Niu a bowl of millet porridge, then patted her gently, preparing to coax her to sleep.
But Niu Niu slept for a long time in the afternoon and was very energetic now. She stretched out her little hands to go and play with her brothers.
Lu Zhiye said to Jinian, "Ji Zhiqing, go back to the upper bunk and continue to rest. We will watch over you at night."
"How can that be possible? Riding the train is tiring enough, and with the kids making a fuss, no one's body can handle it.
He He, after you coax Niuniu to sleep, climb onto the bed and take a nap. I'll watch over the others."
Wen Sihe patted her hands and said, "We still have one or two days left. You can go up and rest while you are here."
Ji Nian had no choice but to climb up again, but she did not sleep. Instead, she took out a book, lay there, and read quietly.
The lower berth was better, as female comrades like them could at least sit up straight.
The people in the middle and upper bunks can't even straighten their backs, let alone sit there and read.
So Jinian could only lie there. After reading for a while, he felt dizzy. Helplessly, he could only put the book down, continue to wear the eye mask, lie there with his eyes closed and rest.
She didn’t know if it was the sleep-inducing herbs in the eye mask that took effect, but even though she had slept for the entire afternoon, she soon felt sleepy again.
It didn't take long before he fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Zhiye gave up his bed and sat with Wen Sihe, letting the three children play in another place.
At ten o'clock, all the lights on the train were turned off. The kids were completely tired and hardly needed any comfort. The three of them sat in a heap and fell into a deep sleep.
Wen Sihe hugged Niu Niu over and pulled the curtains so that others couldn’t see what was happening inside!
Lu Zhiye took a blindfold and covered the twins, pulled the curtain, turned around, picked up the two little ones, and went into the space.
After settling them both down, he returned to his bunk and said to Wen Sihe, "You go to sleep, I'll keep watch."
Wen Sihe naturally knew what he had just done, and quickly shook her head and said softly: "I put Niuniu in there, and there are packages over there to block it, so nothing will happen. You should also take a rest quickly."
Lu Zhiye was afraid of waking up the people above, so he nodded in agreement.
At about four o'clock in the morning, there was a noisy sound outside.
If Lu Zhiye guessed correctly, this should be a new site.
He quickly brought the two little ones out of the space, settled them down, covered them with quilts, and sat at the head of the bed near the corridor.
The people who came were not the ones occupying the two beds.
But not far away, a man and a woman were chattering non-stop.
This action woke up many people, but everyone still maintained the most basic courtesy.
A man wearing glasses said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, comrades, can you please keep your voice down? Everyone is sleeping at this hour."
The man quickly bowed to everyone apologetically, then turned around and grabbed the woman.
The woman also closed her mouth silently, but the movements of her hands were not so gentle.
The thrashing and knocking of things, and the collision of the table with the bed, were particularly harsh in the silent carriage.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and raised their voices, saying, "If you keep making noise, get out!"
This was quite impolite. The woman became so angry that her face turned red. She poked her head out from the bed, insisting on seeing who it was.
The man with him slapped her angrily, lowered his voice, and warned her: "If you make any more trouble, get off the car and don't follow me to Beijing City."
The woman was frightened when she heard this. Although she was not convinced in her heart, she did not dare to make any big move in the end.
The next morning, just after six o'clock, a conductor came over pushing a cart.
This time, Wen Sihe did not take anything out of the box, but directly bought some food from the conductor.
Although the things on the train are more expensive, at least they don’t require tickets.
The two little ones might have eaten by now, so while Jinian was still asleep, Wen Sihe symbolically bought a few buns and a large bowl of porridge.
The rest were all taken out from the space.
She also brought out some cold pancakes. When Jin Yi got out of bed, she saw such a sumptuous breakfast and a blush flashed across her face. "I've been eating you all the way here. I feel bad about it."
Wen Sihe rolled her eyes at her and said, "Our two sleeper tickets cost almost dozens of dollars, and you didn't ask us for anything, did you?
Come on, sit down and eat. We don't need to say these polite words given our relationship."
Jinian smiled shyly, finished his meal in a hurry, picked up the soup spoon and bowl beside him, and started feeding Niu Niu.
While everyone here was having a great time, the carriage next to them was extremely noisy.
The woman this morning couldn't walk when she saw the food on the food cart.
She pestered the man to buy her some, but the man said irritably, "You have to spend 10 cents to have breakfast on the train. How many eggs can you buy with 10 cents?
Can't you eat the biscuits in your bag?"
The woman curled her lips in an unpleasant expression: "It's all cold now."
"It's cold. There's hot water over there. Soak the pancake in the hot water and eat it. What's wrong?
Look around the whole carriage, everyone is well-known and they are all soaking their pancakes in hot water. How come they can eat it but you can’t?”
The man became angrier as he spoke. He had said in the beginning that he would not take this woman with him, but his mother insisted that he go.
The woman was scolded by the man and said unconvincedly: "Your sister eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks in Beijing, and no meal costs more than 50 cents?
What's the matter? I only spent 20 cents on breakfast, and you don't like it?
When you said you wanted to marry me, what did you promise?"
The woman was crying as she spoke. They both slept on the lower bunk. The people on the upper bunk, instead of being annoyed at being woken up, all quietly tilted their heads and listened to the two people quarreling.
Not only them, but many people from the left to the right side of the entire carriage also stuck their heads out.
People come to watch the fun, regardless of age or status.
Chinese people love to join in the fun...
Only Jinian, who was standing next to Wen Sihe, turned pale...
