Chapter 293 The Naughty Kid on the Train
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the tall and thin figure outside the door through the car window and waved at her desperately.
"Mom, go back quickly!"
I don’t know if it was because the noise of the car was too loud, but Liu Cuilan didn’t hear it. She just stood there until the car turned a corner and she could no longer be seen.
The train ticket she bought was for 7:30, and the bus arrived at almost 7:00. Fortunately, the train station was not very far away.
Su Xiaoxiao carried her bag and found a secluded place. She put all her things into the space first, and then hurried to the train station.
The two cities are not far apart and can be reached by train in a few hours.
In order to save money, Su Xiaoxiao bought a hard seat, focusing on saving where possible and spending where possible.
She got up too early in the morning and couldn't help yawning as soon as she sat down.
Sitting opposite her was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her early forties. Ever since she sat down, her eyes had been looking at her bag intentionally or unintentionally.
There was a young man sitting next to the middle-aged woman. The man was tall and thin, with too much white in his eyes, and his eyes looked a little fierce when he looked at people.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. These two people didn't give her the impression that they were good people.
Thinking that it was only a few hours' drive, she decided to endure it and not sleep.
Yawning, she took an enamel pot to the front of the carriage and filled it with a cup of hot water, then took out a bag of coffee and put it in the water.
For a moment, the rich fragrance spread throughout the carriage.
She blew on it and took a big sip. The rich taste spread in her mouth, and she immediately felt more energetic.
Drinking coffee without coffee always felt a bit lacking, so she took out some beef jerky from her bag and ate and drank it at the same time, feeling very comfortable.
Outside the car window, rows of low houses and trees flew by quickly, and the green mountains and beautiful waters made the scenery pleasing to the eyes.
It seems nice to eat while enjoying the beautiful view.
She was looking at the scenery when she suddenly heard crying beside her.
"Mom, I want to eat too. I want to eat too."
There were many people on the bus, so it was normal for children to cry. Su Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously and continued to do her own thing.
But not long after, I felt someone tugging at my sleeve.
Turning around, she saw a little boy of five or six years old tugging at the sleeve of her cotton-padded jacket, staring at her eagerly: "Sister, I want to eat the delicious food you eat, can you give me some?"
The child has a fat head and a big face, and his cotton-padded jacket is also brand new. It is obvious that his family is well-off.
The little boy's mother was sitting next to him and had no intention of stopping him from asking for things.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. It wasn't that she felt bad about the food, but she couldn't take the responsibility if such a young child got something stuck in his throat or had an allergy or something.
Without a second thought, she refused: "Little boy, if you want to eat, ask your mother to buy it for you. I don't even have enough for myself."
Unexpectedly, the little boy insisted: "No, I want to eat it, sister, you give it to me, I want to eat it."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little boy's mother with a headache: "Hello, big sister, please take care of your child."
Unexpectedly, the woman looked at her with displeasure upon hearing this: "Why are you so stingy? A child asks you for food, and he can't eat much. What's wrong with giving him some? At worst, I can trade you some dried sweet potatoes."
As he spoke, he reached into his bag and pulled out a piece of dried sweet potato and handed it to me: "Is this okay? You're so stingy."
Su Xiaoxiao laughed out of anger. He exchanged a piece of dried sweet potato with her for beef jerky. This guy was really shameless.
"Sorry, big sister, I don't eat dried sweet potatoes. I won't change."
She put the remaining beef cubes into her bag, drank the coffee in the enamel pot in one gulp, and was about to get up to clean the enamel pot, but she didn't expect that the little boy would hold her legs tightly and refuse to let go.
"I don't care, I want to eat, and you won't leave unless I give it to you!"
This naughty kid!
Only now did Su Xiaoxiao realize how adorable her fourth and fifth children were compared to this naughty kid.
The child's mother not only did not help, but gloated over the misfortune: "Bah, I told you to be stingy!"
Okay, since the parents won’t discipline their child, then let her help teach this naughty kid how to behave.
She grabbed the little boy's collar and pulled it down: "Let go, or I'll beat you up!"
Just as he finished speaking, before he could do anything, he was suddenly pushed by someone.
"You damn girl, how can you be so shameless? Bullying a little kid!"
The one who pushed the person was the child's mother who had just been gloating over the misfortune.
"You dare to touch my son again?"
The young woman pinched the waist aggressively, and when she saw the thin and weak girl in front of her, who looked weak and could not take a beating, she became even more arrogant.
"Didn't the child just ask you for something to eat? I even offered you some dried sweet potatoes in exchange. What else do you want?"
The little boy who was hugging her thighs immediately started crying: "I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was speechless: "Okay, I have some dried sweet potatoes here. I'll give you two pieces and exchange them for two taels of meat, okay?"
"Are you crazy? You want me to trade meat for your dried sweet potatoes? That's a nice thought, but why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"
The woman cursed and looked at Su Xiaoxiao as if she was a psycho.
The old lady who had been watching the fun nearby chimed in, "Little girl, you're going a bit too far. Meat is so precious these days. Even if it's a joke, you can't ask someone to trade meat for your dried sweet potatoes."
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a handful of beef cubes from her pocket and peeled them. The little boy who was hugging her legs immediately got up and tried to grab them.
She was tall, so no one could snatch her away.
"Then why should I trade my beef jerky for her sweet potato jerky? It's not like I'm crazy."
Just now everyone thought that the colorful thing in her hand was candy, but now they saw that it was actually dried meat, and those who were about to join in the discussion immediately stopped.
Who would be so stupid as to trade beef jerky for sweet potato jerky? They wouldn't be happy with it.
I can't bear to eat it myself, so how can I exchange it with others?
Every household can afford dried sweet potatoes, but beef jerky is a precious commodity.
The little boy, however, kept pulling at Su Xiaoxiao's pants and kept asking, "I want to eat. I want to eat beef jerky. Give it to me, give it to me."
The young woman's expression changed. Seeing the child crying like this, she fumbled in her bag and took out a sorghum steamed bun: "I'll trade it with you, okay?"
"No, thank you. Please get your child away, or I won't be polite."
This kind of thing will happen again if it happens the first time. What's more, the child is still young, and if there is a problem with the food, she will be blamed.
Seeing that she was unmoved, the woman could only angrily drag the little boy up from the ground and said, "Come on, stop crying. I'll buy you some when we get off the bus. It's just beef jerky. It's not like we can't afford it."
The little boy wanted to cry, but she picked him up by the waist and pressed him to the innermost seat.
The farce finally ended.
Su Xiaoxiao took the teacup to wash, and when she came back she found that there was an extra person sitting outside her row. This person was none other than the middle-aged woman who had just sat opposite her.
