The three of them cook seafood after their children go to school and their men go to the army.
The prepared seafood is temporarily placed in the side room.
In the past, Zheng Baozhu cooked seafood with tools in the space and was very efficient.
Now there are two more people, and with three people relying solely on manual labor, the speed is not slow.
Since I live alone at night, it is much more convenient to enter the space.
The chickens, ducks and geese I bought years ago have increased many times in number after so much time, as they laid eggs and hatched.
Even the piece of land specially enclosed by Zheng Baozhu seemed crowded.
Isn’t it difficult to deal with too many of these things? Arrange roast chicken, salted duck, and salted goose.
Once cooked, it will be vacuum-packed. As Zheng Baozhu has cooked so much seafood recently, she has to go back to Beijing again.
…
When he heard that Zheng Baozhu was going back again, Song Zhiting asked, "Still three days?"
Zheng Baozhu hummed.
"I'll take you to the station."
"No, you have things to do too. Don't waste your time on me. I will bring chicken feet when I come back this time."
Ever since Zheng Baozhu came back from Beijing last time, she hasn't talked much to Song Zhiting.
Even Song Sicheng noticed that something was wrong and advised Song Zhiting to coax Zheng Baozhu.
"I didn't make her angry, why should I coax her!"
"But mom doesn't talk to you."
"Who said we didn't talk? She called me to eat every day."
"Besides calling for dinner, do you have any other communication?"
Song Zhiting was speechless.
No.
Zheng Baozhu didn't want to say a word to him unless it was necessary.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the time when Zheng Baozhu first came to the island.
At that time, he felt that Zheng Baozhu was a very good person and would not cause trouble for him.
Since when did his eyes always follow her, hoping that he could do something for her.
I learned from Ding Peizhi that the three of them cooked seafood together every day. Zheng Baozhu was so capable that I became dispensable to her.
Watching Zheng Baozhu leave the island alone, Song Zhiting felt a little lost for no reason.
…
On the train.
Zheng Baozhu leaned on the berth and read a book.
The old lady on the bed opposite was peeling eggs and handed them to Zheng Baozhu.
"Girl, I see you haven't eaten since you got on the train. Here are some hot eggs my daughter just cooked for me. Have one."
Zheng Baozhu waved her hand: "Thank you, I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
The old lady asked, "Are you carsick? That's why you can't eat. I have some motion sickness medicine."
As she spoke, the old lady took out the medicine from the bag on the bedside and handed it to Zheng Baozhu.
"I may be a little dizzy, but I don't need any medicine."
"Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. You should eat at least a little, otherwise your stomach will not be able to bear it."
Faced with the enthusiastic old lady, Zheng Baozhu could not refuse her kindness, so she took the eggs and said thank you.
…
The conductor on the train came in and asked the old lady to go to bed early.
The old lady introduced: "This is my daughter."
Zheng Baozhu nodded at her.
The conductor looked at Zheng Baozhu and said, "I think I've seen you before. Do you take the train often?"
Zheng Baozhu smiled and said, "You have a really good memory. I sit here often."
The conductor said: "It's not that I have a good memory, it's that you are so beautiful that it's hard to forget you after seeing you once."
There were only three of them in the compartment. The conductor sat down and chatted with my mother for a while. During the conversation, they got to know each other's names.
The old lady's surname is Kong, and the train attendant is Yan Meihua. They live in Beijing. This time they took their mother to the hospital in Beijing for a physical examination.
As they were chatting, Mrs. Kong suddenly covered her chest with her hands, frowned, and a painful expression appeared on her face.
Yan Meihua quickly touched her mother's chest to help her mother calm down.
Seeing that Mrs. Kong's breathing became rapid, Zheng Baozhu immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from the space, poured out a few small black pills, and asked her to take them.
Yan Meihua hesitated for a moment, brought some water, and fed the pills to her mother.
Soon, Mrs. Kong’s expression was no longer so painful.
Yan Meihua observed her mother and only felt relieved when she saw her mother slowly relax.
Ask Zheng Baozhu what medicine she just gave her mother.
Zheng Baozhu said it was a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
Yan Meihua asked how much the medicine cost and whether he could sell it to her.
Zheng Baozhu gave her the porcelain bottle. Yan Meihua wanted to give her money, but Zheng Baozhu refused: "Auntie Kong also gave me eggs to eat just now."
Mrs. Kong said, "Eggs are not as valuable as your medicine. You must charge me. Is that too little?"
"If you really want to give it to me, you can treat me to two more eggs tomorrow morning."
Yan Meihua was extremely grateful to Zheng Baozhu for owing her such a big favor, and asked her why she went to Beijing so often.
When he heard that Zheng Baozhu was delivering something to her family, he asked how much goods there were and said that he could help her and there was no need for Zheng Baozhu to run back and forth.
"2 tons, once every two weeks."
After hearing so much, Yan Meihua thought for a while and said, "Sister, if you trust me, you can deliver the goods to me in the future. You don't need to run back and forth every time."
Zheng Baozhu didn't trust the person she just met, but she still said thank you.
Yan Meihua gave Zheng Baozhu a phone number and left the box.
…
At dawn, the train arrived at the station. Yan Meihua came to pick up her mother and said to Zheng Baozhu, "I'll find someone to ship your goods back for you. The freight will be lower than others."
The goods were in the space and there were people coming and going at the station, so it was inconvenient for Zheng Baozhu to take them out, so she said she had contacted her family.
"Next time, don't ask your family to come. Just use the people who are pulling goods from the station to deliver them to your doorstep."
