Chapter 115: Isn't taking the train just killing time?
Jiang Hao and Shi Luo were eating melon seeds while watching the people coming and going outside the platform.
As the whistle sounded, the train slowly began to move.
Except for Shi Luo and the other two, the four people who came before got off at the previous platform.
Jiang Hao handed the kettle to Shi Luo and said, "Drink more water. Eating too many melon seeds will cause internal heat."
Shi Luo took the kettle, drank the water and said, "We still have to take the train for two days. It's so slow."
Jiang Hao tightened the screw on the kettle. "It can't be helped. Traveling long distances nowadays is just a waste of time. This train doesn't require changing trains, but it passes through a lot of places along the way, and it stops at every station, so it's even slower."
Jiang Hao had just put the kettle away when two girls came into the cubicle. One had the most common big pigtails, and the other had short hair.
The two girls who had just found a seat came in and saw the wooden box on the table filled with nut shells such as peanuts and melon seeds.
When the two looked at Shi Luo and Jiang Hao, they knew at a glance that they both came from well-off families. The clothes they wore were not patched at all, and the watches on their wrists looked like imported goods worth around two hundred yuan, not plum blossom watches worth seventy or eighty yuan.
Shi Luo glanced at the two girls who had just come in, then he lay down on the small table, supporting his head with his hands, "Brother Hao, I'm hungry again."
Jiang Hao looked around and saw that the two girls were sitting on the small stools opposite the cubicle and hadn't noticed him. He quickly approached Shi Luo and whispered softly, "Baby, you just ate a lot of snacks. How can your stomach still hold more food? If I didn't know you were a boy, I would have thought you were pregnant with this amount of food."
When Shi Luo heard this, he glared at Jiang Hao and said, "How old am I this year? I'm in the growth stage. Isn't it normal to eat a little sometimes? Besides, can snacks be the same as meals? I have two different stomachs for snacks and meals."
It is said that a young boy can eat his father out of money. Although I am not his father but his husband, I am not afraid of Shi Luo's appetite. But Shi Luo is already 19 years old this year, and it is not possible for him to have such a big appetite suddenly. The main thing is that if he gets hurt on the train, it will be difficult to find a doctor.
Seeing Jiang Hao looking at him hesitantly, Shi Luo pulled him up and sighed, "Look at me, haven't I grown taller? I'm almost as tall as your neck now. Your height was measured at 1.88 meters this spring. Although I'm much shorter than you, I must be 1.78 meters tall now, so isn't it normal for you to eat a little?"
Jiang Hao looked at the height difference between the two and was still a little worried. "You've grown taller in the past two years, but your appetite has suddenly increased today."
Shi Luo sat on his bunk and felt helpless. "I know. Maybe it's because I'm just starting to grow taller. After all, I'm already nineteen this year. It's a bit late now. If I don't grow taller, I probably won't grow any taller."
After finishing his words, Shi Luo nodded, feeling that his words made a lot of sense, and continued, "It must be because he wants to grow taller that his appetite has increased. Maybe I can grow to 1.88 meters before I stop growing."
Jiang Hao was somewhat convinced and took out some sugar-roasted chestnuts and handed them to Shi Luo. "It's still half an hour before we sell food. Why don't you have some snacks to fill your stomach? Have some chestnuts. I'll peel them for you."
Shi Luo didn't eat much, he stopped after eating about ten, "Don't peel them anymore, let's eat later, I want to have a proper meal."
Jiang Hao nodded, handed the freshly peeled chestnuts to Shi Luo, and put the remaining chestnuts into his bag.
The two girls who were watching Shi Luo and the other man interacting were also whispering about them.
The short-haired girl said, "Are these two brothers? If so, the older brother is really nice to the younger brother. He even helps him peel chestnuts. If he were my brother, I'd be lucky if he didn't steal my food."
The girl with pigtails said, "That's right, that's right. These two people must come from wealthy families. You can tell by the way they dress. Do you think we have a chance?"
Before the girl with pigtails could finish her words, the girl with short hair interrupted her, "Don't even think about it. We're not from the same place. What chance do we have on this train for so long? Besides, there's no guarantee that he'll be interested in us."
Pigtail was not willing to accept it. "That tall guy is really good, considerate, good-looking, and has good conditions. If I marry him, it will definitely be a good choice.
Besides, what's the difference between us? We're not that far apart, and distance isn't a problem. We can write letters in the early stages, and when I really marry him, we can be together."
The short-haired girl glanced at Jiang Hao and shook her head. "Don't even think about it. You want to marry him when you don't even know him. What if he's from the countryside? Do you really want to marry someone from the countryside?"
The girl with pigtails curled her lips and said, "No way, that watch is not something a rural person can afford. How could he be from the countryside?"
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but what Shi Luo said at this time really proved that he was from the countryside.
"We really don't have to rush back before the autumn harvest, Godfather, is that really okay?"
Jiang Hao shook his head indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I have already given my father a vaccination. The autumn harvest does not need the two of us. If we work at the same speed, one more or one less will not make any difference. We are really not that important.
Besides, when the grain is finally settled, we can use money to make up for the work points we lack, and the team won't say anything. Just think of it as generating income for the team. Let's play for a while longer this time.
If I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't be able to return before winter, I would have asked my father to give me a letter of introduction to Shanghai."
Shi Luo said, "Don't think about it. You mustn't think about it. You're really thinking too much. Even if you have enough time, your godfather won't give you a license. Even if you really throw a tantrum, he won't give you a license. If you really bring it up, he might even regret dividing the family business in the first place, because he's afraid that the little money you get from the division will be squandered this year and you'll starve to death in the future."
Jiang Hao laughed and teased, "Well, you're still here. You can't just watch me starve to death. But seriously, maybe next year your family visit leave will take you to Shanghai, and then you can go and see it."
Shi Luo shrugged and said jokingly, "I'm just an ordinary educated youth. How much money can I have? You have to pay for dinner tonight."
When Shi Luo went out, he didn't really put much money in his pocket. At least he had more than 20 yuan and a few national tickets.
