Chapter 42

Tang Zhou had just left when Lu Huaijing came back with a few aluminum lunch boxes. His steps were a little hurried.

"Wife, I just heard that someone fainted from heat stroke."

He thought of Tang Wan's weak look when she got on the train and thought that this person was Tang Wan.

He was so scared that he ran away very fast, luckily she was fine.

"Not me."

Tang Wan shook her head in understanding, while Zhang Hongyan opposite her smiled awkwardly.

"I had a heat stroke, luckily the elder sister helped me."

At this time, the conductor came over with a smile, holding an enamel cup and said to Zhang Hongyan:

"You're lucky. There's mung bean soup on the bus."

"Thank you, thank you. How much is it?"

Zhang Hongyan took it with a smile and took out a dollar, but the conductor didn't want that much.

"Just a dime."

He only took ten cents. Most people in that era were very simple and honest.

They are also very enthusiastic and help each other.

Qiu Dazao, who was sitting upstairs, couldn't help but snort, but she didn't dare to offend the train conductor, so she could only turn her head and look out the window.

Lu Huaijing was in no mood to pay attention to her. Tang Zhou just came back from washing his face and distributed aluminum lunch boxes to everyone.

"Pork stewed with vermicelli and Chinese cabbage. Let's eat it while it's hot."

“It smells so good!”

Tang Wan sniffed, and several people sat together and opened their lunch boxes. Immediately, the fragrance filled the carriage.

Qiu Dazao, who was working in the shop opposite, had a rumbling stomach, but no one asked her a question.

Tang Wan took out the eggs prepared by Wang Dani from the cloth bag. Her mother-in-law was really generous to them.

A total of ten boiled eggs were cooked. They had two laying hens at home, which would take several days to save.

She handed one to Lu Huaijing and Tang Zhou, and said, "Add some more."

“It smells so good.”

Tang Zhou ate with big mouthfuls while Wang Shengli sitting opposite him swallowed his saliva. The child lowered his head obediently to hide his embarrassment.

Tang Wan peeled an egg and put it in Wang Shengli's bowl, "Eat it."

"No, no, we can't have that."

Zhang Hongyan saw that it was an egg and they couldn't accept such a valuable thing.

Wang Shengli also shook his head, "Thank you, Auntie, but I don't like eating eggs."

What kid doesn't like eating eggs?

Tang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie saw that you were so well-behaved and sensible, so she rewarded you."

Seeing her insistence, Zhang Hongyan was a little embarrassed to take out the money, "Comrade, it's so embarrassing that you have been helping us all the time."

“No, no.”

Tang Wan waved her hands quickly, "Don't be polite. It's not easy for everyone to be out."

Qiu Dazao, who was sitting in the middle shop, pricked up his ears to listen and couldn't help but hum softly, his eyes salivatingly on the other egg in Tang Wan's bowl.

Tang Wan pretended not to see anything. She peeled the egg bit by bit, took a bite, and it was crunchy and delicious.

"Sister, this dish is delicious too."

Tang Zhou deliberately ate with big mouthfuls, which made Qiu Dazao drool, and made Tang Wan laugh and cry.

Lu Huaijing ate the fastest, eating an egg one bite at a time and shoveling rice into his mouth quickly.

After eating, I quickly took the lunch box to wash it.

Zhang Hongyan felt much better after drinking the mung bean soup and started eating the food that Wang Shengli had not finished.

"Big sister, your lover is a soldier, right?"

That temperament is quite similar to hers.

"yes."

Tang Wan did not deny it, but did not say more, mainly because she did not know either.

"My man is also a soldier."

Zhang Hongyan took the initiative to bring up the topic, "They all eat the same way, very quickly."

"Are you also a military wife?"

Tang Wan felt closer to Zhang Hongyan. The two avoided topics that were not allowed to be discussed and started chatting enthusiastically.

Qiu Dazao in the middle bunk got down from his bed in a somewhat annoyed manner, and went to get his meal with his lunch box in a dejected manner.

Wang Shengli made a face at her back, "Lululu..."

"What are you doing, little brat?"

Zhang Hongyan couldn't help but pat her son on the head. Wang Shengli chuckled and said, "Who made her angry with you?"

Without Qiu Dazao's presence, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Lu Huaijing came back and washed Tang Wan and Tang Zhou's lunch boxes together.

It was already evening after dinner, and Tang Wan and the others took turns going to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as the bathroom door closed, she entered the space.

The temperature in the room was constant and not cold, so she didn't need to boil water and could just wash with warm water.

After washing up, Tang Wan carefully applied skin care products, and only a pink scar remained on the wound on her forehead.

She has been applying medication recently, and I believe it will disappear soon.

After finishing all this, she ran to the Space Mall, which did sell hair dryers.

I don't know if it can be plugged in.

She found a socket and tried it, and it actually worked. Although she didn't know how it worked, Tang Wan was extremely excited.

This space mall has everything; it's like she's carrying a treasure trove on her back.

"Hey, why hasn't the stuff inside come out yet?"

There was a loud clapping sound outside the bathroom. Fortunately, Tang Wan's hair had been blown dry, so she quickly tied her hair into a ponytail and walked out of the room.

"Alright, alright."

Tang Wan opened the door and went out. The lady outside looked confused as she sensed a scent coming from the bathroom.

It's like seeing a ghost!

"It took so long to go to the bathroom."

The old lady went into the bathroom muttering to herself. Tang Wan said softly, and when she returned to the carriage, Tang Zhou had already fallen asleep.

There seemed to be a young man sleeping in the shop opposite.

Seeing her come back, Lu Huaijingchun gave her an enamel cup filled with bright red brown sugar water.

"give."

"Thank you."

Tang Wan felt warm in her heart. This man didn't talk much, but he kept everything in mind.

Not bad.

"Call me anytime you feel uncomfortable."

Lu Huaijing's ears turned red. They sat in the lower bunk, very close to each other. He seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance from her.

Others were sweaty while riding the train, but she seemed a little different.

"Uh-huh."

Tang Wan nodded vigorously and drank the brown sugar water in small sips. It was so sweet that it seemed to reach her heart.

His masculine aura seemed to be all around her, Tang Wan asked him in a low voice.

"You've taken so many days off. You should be busy when you return, right?"

It's better to be busy. She is the only one who takes care of Tang Zhou in the family courtyard. She can find a school for Tang Zhou later and then she can make a fortune and start a career.

“Yes, it will be quite busy.”

Lu Huaijing said to Tang Wan with guilt, "Wife, marrying me will really be unfair to you.

We soldiers must obey orders. If there is a mission, you may not see me for days, months or even years."

It wasn't that he intended not to go home for three years, but he was injured while on a mission last year and he didn't want to worry his mother.

"I knew this before I married you."

Tang Wan had heard about the difficulties that military wives faced. She had always admired soldiers, but she never thought that she would marry a soldier in this life.

Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars. "Lu Huaijing, you can do whatever you want to do. Leave everything at home to me."

These words were like a beam of light shining into Lu Huaijing's chest, carrying a heavy weight that made Lu Huaijing's heart boil.

"good."

"Go to bed early."

Tang Wan finished the brown sugar water in one gulp and just stood up to wash the enamel cup, but Lu Huaijing took it away.

"I'll go wash it."

The moment he took the cup, their fingertips touched and then separated like an electric shock.
