When Aunt Fang heard what Xie Wanying said, she covered her mouth and laughed: "I really think this little girl is very high and mighty. Just by looking at the way this little girl and her mother are dressed and sitting in a hard seat, you can tell that their family is not well off. With these conditions, you may not be able to curry favor with the sleeper berth. Isn't it funny that you want the other party to curry favor with you in return?"
Since her daughter said no, Sun Rongfang decided not to go. She turned around and asked Aunt Fang, "Are you going alone?"
"No, my husband went to the dining car to buy me something to eat."
Train passengers are divided into different levels, which can be determined by their spending power. For people like Xie Wanying and her daughter, it is impossible to buy food on the train, because everyone knows that food on the train is extremely expensive.
People like Aunt Fang and her husband have some spending power but cannot afford to buy a sleeper berth.
The train soon reached dinner time, and most passengers stood up to make instant noodles that they had brought with them. Aunt Fang's husband, Uncle Fang, came back from the dining car and brought dining car lunch boxes for himself and his wife, one for each of them. They were ridiculously expensive, costing twenty yuan each.
Xie Wanying took the instant noodles she had bought for herself and her mother and went to the water tank to fill it with water. There were many passengers who wanted instant noodles, and they formed a long queue. After the noodles were ready, Xie Wanying walked back to her seat with both hands and heard Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang talking.
"You have no idea how funny those two mother and daughter who just sat opposite us are."
"How funny?"
...
...
"Her daughter actually said that those who sleep in sleeper berths should come and curry favor with those who sit in hard seats." Aunt Fang, who said this, laughed so hard that her stomach almost cramped.
Uncle Fang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "This is not funny at all. Who do they think can sleep in the berth? I'm afraid they can't even get into the berth."
"How do you know?"
"The conductor stopped us from entering the sleeper compartment unless we had tickets. They were afraid we would use the berths." Uncle Fang shook his head as he spoke. "I just wanted to see what the beds on the train were like. We had never slept in one before. But someone stood at the door and wouldn't let me in."
"The sleeper berths are over there in the dining car?"
"Yes, it's very close to the dining car. It's not like here where we have to walk a long way to get something from the dining car."
If you have money, the service in the car will definitely be of a higher level, and this is true in all markets.
"They eat instant noodles by themselves." Aunt Fang whispered in her husband's ear.
"You can only eat instant noodles and can't even afford a lunch box, yet you say such things. Don't talk to people like this. I tell you, these two are probably just two shameless people."
After Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang finished speaking, they looked up and suddenly found Xie Wanying standing in front of them. An embarrassed look turned pale on their faces.
When Sun Rongfang came back from the restroom, she saw her daughter put the bowl of instant noodles on the small table and said, "You eat first. I'll go see if the dining car can buy you some more food." As she said that, she was going to the dining car to buy something good to supplement the nutrition for her daughter who was in college.
"Mom, no need. I like instant noodles, but not anything else." Xie Wanying pulled her mother back and said.
When Sun Rongfang was pulled back to her seat by her daughter, she suddenly noticed that Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang opposite her had strange expressions.
Receiving Sun Rongfang's gaze, Aunt Fang complained first, "Is your daughter in college? She came over here without saying a word."
"Auntie, that's just because I'm polite." Xie Wanying was not polite to such people and directly retorted with sarcasm.
