Everyone around was amused by Old Liu. A middle-aged man in plain clothes and a hat asked cheerfully, "So what do you think of the design?"
Old Liu felt a little embarrassed by being laughed at, so he took off his hat and rubbed his head vigorously: "I am not well educated, but I just feel that sitting upright like this is too uncomfortable.
If this chair could be adjusted back a bit, and leaned back a bit, it would at least be much more comfortable.”
His words resonated with many people: "Just like a reclining chair, if you tilt it a little, it won't be as uncomfortable as sitting on a piece of wood."
Many people in the carriage were expressing their opinions, and no one noticed that the middle-aged man was writing and drawing on paper and pen.
Old Liu did notice it. He was afraid that what he said might inadvertently cause trouble, so he quickly shut his mouth.
When it was time for dinner, Old Liu was very generous and bought three box lunches on the train.
He smiled and said to Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe: "You eat, you eat!"
As he spoke, he took out several eggs from his cloth bag.
Listening to the crackling sound in his backpack, Wen Sihe asked jokingly, "Uncle, how many eggs do you have in this bag?"
Old Liu tied up the package carefully and said, "I brought all the chicken and duck eggs from home and boiled a dozen of them for us to eat on the road.
Take the rest with you to nourish the two babies.
By the way, I have a lot here, I will share some with you when the time comes."
In this poor and backward era, meat and eggs were considered the only things that could supplement nutrition.
Old Liu also felt a little embarrassed that the train tickets were bought by someone else, so he bought food and eggs for the two people.
Lu Zhiye pointed at the bottom of Wen Sihe's feet and said, "Uncle, put the bag down here.
There is also a package to cushion it, so it won't get rotten. Otherwise, how uncomfortable would it be to carry it all the way?"
Old Liu was afraid that his eggs would be stolen, so he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I can hold them myself!"
As he spoke, he raised the egg in his hand and motioned for the two of them to eat.
Lu Zhiye didn't say anything else and just ate the lunch box in his hand.
When Old Liu sleeps at night, he always keeps his eyes half open.
Whenever someone got off the bus, he would vigilantly look at their luggage.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound. When getting off the car, Old Liu felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
A few people followed the crowd out of the station and saw their old wife standing there, waving at them.
Niu Liye was also standing next to the mole lady. When he saw a few people coming out, he walked over quickly.
He took the package from Old Liu and said happily, "Uncle, we have been looking forward to your coming for a long time. Auntie was so excited that she didn't sleep all night last night.
Look, Guihua is cooking at home after buying vegetables from the market early in the morning.
Later, Xiao Wen and Comrade Lu will come to our house for dinner."
Lu Zhiye raised the thing in his hand and said, "I'm afraid this can't be done. Let's get together again when we are free another day."
Aunt Mole quickly tried to smooth things over: "It's been a long time since Xiaoye and his wife saw their child, they must miss him very much.
Thank you so much for bringing me back this time. When you are free, bring the baby here and I will show you my skills."
Wen Sihe and the others agreed happily.
The two families went in different directions and parted ways at the train station.
When they returned home, listening to the laughter and joy coming from inside, both of them felt relieved of their fatigue.
"I heard a door opening outside. Are He He and the others back?"
Meng Yuqing hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two people unloading packages downstairs.
There were also many that Lu Zhiye had just taken out from the space.
Meng Yuqing quickly stepped forward to help, and the two little ones also ran out.
"Dad, Dad, Mom, you're back!
Aunt Nian Nian came today, and we were just talking about you guys!"
Meng Yuqing smiled happily at the side: "The girl from the Ji family is here. I knew you were coming today, so I asked her to stay."
Lu Zhiye winked at Wen Sihe, and Wen Sihe no longer cared about the package in front of her and quickly walked into the house.
Inside the room, Jin Yi was cutting paper flowers with Xiao Bao. When he saw Wen Si He come in, he put on a gentle smile and said, "You're finally back. How are you?
Are the folks in Dahe Village all right? How many educated youth were admitted to university this time?"
Wen Sihe picked up her daughter and kissed her, then replied slowly, "Only three educated youth passed the exam this time, including Lu Zhiye, four!"
Ji Nian's eyes widened in surprise: "Comrade Lu really passed the exam???"
Wen Sihe pursed her lips and smiled: "He is very smart, it's not surprising that he passed the exam."
Although he said that, Wen Sihe's brows were full of pride.
Memorial: It seems like I was accidentally sprinkled with dog food again...
"By the way, have you resolved your family issues? That stepsister......"
When talking about this incident, Jinian was very excited: "She can't make any waves now. I hid the admission letter and didn't let others know.
She thought I didn't pass the exam and was proud of herself every day for passing it.
It was quite a sensation. When the first day of school came, she turned green when she saw me dressed neatly for school. "
Jinian’s stepsister is also quite capable. Like Li Guihua, she was admitted to a normal university.
The only difference is that Li Guihua only reviewed for a few months, but she stayed in school the whole time.
The person who was most surprised to learn that Ji Nian was admitted to university was probably Ji's father.
He knew everything about the bet between the two sisters.
Now, he was not going to favor anyone, and while eating, he made his decision in front of the whole family: "You made such a big fuss at the beginning, and even involved others, now, of course, you have to fulfill the bet.
Give the money to Nian Nian, and from today on, I will not give you any help during your college years."
Ji's father had a cold look on his face, which was a bit scary. Ji Qing was about to speak coquettishly, but when she met her stepfather's cold eyes, she swallowed the words back.
Ji's mother laughed dryly: "It's just the two kids quarreling, it's all a joke."
Jinian's brother leaned back on his chair with his arms folded: "If I remember correctly, your daughter has belittled Nian Nian more than once during this period.
Why didn't you stand up and speak out at this time?
Now they say it's a joke, which is ridiculous."
His words made Ji's father a little dissatisfied. He frowned and sneered: "How do you talk to your aunt?"
When he got angry, the aura of a superior was fully revealed, making the entire living room silent.
