On the train, Shen Xiu'e and Zhao Huili bought hard seats. It was the first time for both of them to travel far away, and they were very excited.
Sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside and chatting.
As they chatted, Zhao Huili clearly noticed that Shen Xiu'e's face looked a little strange.
"Xiu'e, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Xiu'e didn't know what was wrong with her. She just felt her stomach was churning and she wanted to vomit but couldn't.
My head hurts a bit.
She had indeed never been on a train before, but she had been on a car!
She doesn’t get carsick when riding in a car?
I have never experienced motion sickness, but I don’t know what’s wrong this time?
Why is riding a train so uncomfortable?
But fearing that Zhao Huili would worry, she waved her hand.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little sick in my stomach!"
Zhao Huili immediately thought that she might be carsick.
There were many people on the train, and the smell of sweat and feet was everywhere. Some people were eating to fill their stomachs on the way, and the smell was like fermented leek buns!
Although she thought it smelled bad, she could still bear it. But what kind of family conditions did the Zhou family have? Shen Xiu'e had never suffered much hardship in her life.
Naturally, my body can’t take it!
But the train had only been running for half an hour, and there was no village or shop nearby, so I couldn't even buy some fruit to help her pay for it.
After thinking about it, I realized that it was a good thing that I brought a water bottle with me!
He opened the lid of the kettle and handed it to her: "Xiu'e, how about you drink some first and see if it makes you feel better?"
Shen Xiu'e's face turned pale, she nodded, took the kettle and took a quick sip.
I did feel better, but that churning feeling in my stomach still didn't go away.
Zhao Huili was a little anxious: "Xiu'e, please bear with it for a while. Wait until we get to the next platform and I'll see if there's any fruit for sale downstairs. I'll buy you some!"
Shen Xiu'e originally wanted to say no, but she didn't dare to open her mouth. She felt that if she opened her mouth, she would have an uncontrollable urge to vomit.
Just then, two oranges were suddenly handed to them from the opposite side.
"Auntie, are you carsick? I brought some oranges with me. Eat some and put the orange peel under your nose and smell it. It might make you feel better!"
Zhao Huili looked up and saw a young wife holding a child across from her.
She was quite pretty, but it was obvious that she came from the countryside. She had a healthy wheat-colored skin, a big pigtail, and wore a washed-out blue shirt with white flowers, with the sleeves rolled up to the cuffs.
The baby in my arms was only a little over one year old and could not speak much. He could only babble something and occasionally called out "Mom!" "Eat!" "Juju!"
The little guy is very cute, with a chubby head and big eyes. When he smiles, two small front teeth are exposed in his mouth.
At this time, he was smiling at Zhao Huili and Shen Xiu'e.
The two of them felt their hearts soften at the same time, and instantly thought of the baby in Weiwei's belly, wondering if the baby would be as cute when it was born.
Or is he more likable than this child?
Zhao Huili took the oranges from her hand with a smile and thanked her gratefully: "Thank you, young lady. How much are these two oranges? How about I give you the money?"
Lian Fengxia quickly waved her hand: "Auntie, you are too polite. These oranges are grown on our own tree. They are free. I think the auntie is not feeling well and seems to be carsick. Maybe she will feel better if she eats some!"
Seeing how honest this little girl was, not to mention Zhao Huili, even Shen Xiu'e, who had never dared to say anything, thought that this little girl was pretty good.
While Shen Xiu'e was eating oranges, Zhao Huili started chatting with others.
After chatting with her, I found out that she was also going to Qilian Island to join the army.
We're all on the way!
But Zhao Huili looked at the baby in her arms and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Girl, you brought the baby out alone?"
Lian Fengxia nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, my parents-in-law are old, and I have many brothers and sisters on my mother's side. Life is not easy. I just want to join the army to relieve some of the pressure on my family!"
In fact, the most important thing is that she was forced to do so!
Their home was in a remote rural area more than 40 miles away from Beijing. The family was very poor and the work points they earned could only provide them with half a full meal throughout the year.
There are many brothers and sisters in her family. Her husband was a soldier and was at risk of sacrifice at any time. He lives so far away that he can only come back once a year.
Many girls are unwilling to get married because getting married is no different from being a widow.
But the Wang family offered a high bride price, so her mother was tempted and decided to marry her off.
Although she was unwilling at first and cried several times because of it, her three brothers were still bachelors and had no money to marry!
Her mother said that if she married him, she could use the betrothal money given by the Wang family to find a wife for her eldest brother!
She doesn't want to see her three brothers remain single, right?
When her sister got married, she brought a lot of money and good things to the family, which helped them get through the winter.
Otherwise, someone in their family would probably starve to death!
Now it's her turn to contribute to the family.
My parents said that the purpose of having a daughter is to work for the family and earn money for the bride price!
Because girls are a waste of money, sooner or later they will get married and become someone else's family.
Only sons are the roots, and they can give birth to descendants for their Lian family!
Lian Fengxia has a good personality and has been very capable since she was a child. While her parents and brother went to the fields to earn work points, she would cook and wash clothes at home when she was very young, and keep the house in order.
She also thought about her own future, but when her parents made the matter of "selling their daughter" public, she finally couldn't help crying with sadness.
But born in such a family, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
Fortunately, before getting married, she hurriedly met her future man. The man was tall, with extraordinary temperament, his back was always straight, and he looked good too.
She was actually satisfied in her heart. Later, she heard from her mother that his name was Wang Chuanling and he was a soldier in a garrison on the coast.
The Wang family's situation is pretty good in their opinion.
Thinking about the future, as long as she leaves this family and goes to the Wang family, she should be able to live a good life. What does it matter whether the man comes back or not?
Isn’t this how women live their lives?
So, after getting married, even though she could only see Wang Chuanling once a year, she still managed the Wang family in order and took good care of Wang Chuanling's parents and younger brothers and sisters!
I heard that Wang Chuanling was promoted in the army and became a cadre. His life seems to be getting better and better.
But her parents often came to ask for money. Her mother would cry poor to her all day long, saying that the family had no money and asked her to help out.
He even brought his eldest brother and everyone else's children to come over to eat and drink.
Her mother-in-law and father-in-law were old and soft-tempered, so even though they were furious, they were too embarrassed to kick the person out.
This time, her mother brought several children home to eat and drink, and even took away a bag of rice and flour, which made her father-in-law so angry that he fell ill.
