"We're just getting started."
He Ruixue hugged her arm and said, "When your daughter's status is higher, I will buy you a soft sleeper ticket.
There's a separate toilet, curtains on the windows, and a small table lamp by the bed, so it's a very comfortable sleep."
She was very surprised. "Isn't that better than home? A hard sleeper is so expensive, how much does a soft sleeper cost?"
"As long as you and Dad are happy, it's worth it no matter how much money you spend."
He Dagen has been a little nervous since he got on the car. He was afraid that the mud on his shoes would dirty the floor, and that his hands would dirty the sheets.
Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, my daughter has ambition. Your mother and I are waiting to enjoy your blessing."
Zhao Meiya felt that he was really taking advantage of the situation and said dissatisfiedly, "My daughter is still considerate, right? I gave birth to you, so you are also benefiting from my help."
"Yes." He Dagen never argued with her. "I don't know how Qiu Sheng and the others are doing."
"He's been learning to cook recently, so he won't starve to death. He's already grown up, why are you worrying about him?"
It was He Xiaojie's first time riding a train. She was extremely excited and curious, and kept staring at the scenery along the way.
In later generations, it was fashionable to take a train and see scenes of industrialization and modernization, but here it was all thick and endless green.
There were children outside who were probably curious about the environment in the sleeper car. They were running around in groups of three or five, giggling.
Zhao Meiya was impatient and kept waving her hands to drive them out.
At this time, the conductor came to check the tickets and was quite surprised to see the family together. He thought that one of them had bought a seat ticket and came to occupy the berth to sit and chat.
After all, there are many such cases. It was not until I checked each of their tickets that I dispelled my doubts. I told them to put their tickets away and then I would check the next person.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will become boring after seeing it too much. After sitting for a while, a few people felt bored and started doing their own things.
Wang Taozhi was knitting a sweater, He Xiaojie was making flower ropes, and the two old people were chatting about things in the fields and the person they had just met at the station.
He Ruixue was holding a book and reading. When she looked up, Jiang Yanxu was holding the same thing as her, a martial arts novel in his hand.
Their eyes met, they smiled in tacit understanding, and lowered their heads again.
Before I knew it, it was noon and someone on the train passed by pushing a cart loaded with lunch boxes.
Zhao Meiya asked how much a bowl of braised pork with preserved vegetables cost. The flight attendant told her a price. She asked to open the lunch box and took a look. There were only a few pieces of meat inside. She immediately turned her head away in disgust and decided to eat what she brought with her.
The hot water was free, so several people each filled a teacup and placed the steamed buns on the cup lid to keep it warm.
I opened the sour beans and minced meat sauce I brought. It was cold and a little bit of the oil had solidified. It’s okay, just soak the glass jar in hot water to warm it up.
Zhao Meiya distributed boiled eggs, one to each person.
When she handed it to Jiang Yanxu, she couldn't help but mutter, "Come on, Xiao Jiang, take it. You too, the bag is so small, what can it hold? Why didn't you bring some food? Luckily, I made your portion as well."
"Thank you, Auntie. I was actually planning to buy food on the train."
"I looked at the dish just now. There were only two pieces of meat, all lean, with no fat at all. It's really not worth it.
Even if you don't need a ticket, it's still too expensive. You should save money when you go out. Look at how good your sister-in-law is at cooking. She can cook meat for less than 20 cents and still make it delicious."
Jiang Yanxu certainly agreed, "Yes, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are better than those in our company cafeteria."
Wang Taozhi bit off half an egg yolk and spread the sauce on the steamed bun, looking at him teasingly, "Xiao Jiang, you call me sister-in-law, why are you calling me auntie? Are you unhappy that I didn't change the red envelope for you?"
"Ahem, no, I..."
Zhao Meiya glared at her and said, "Okay, don't be so anxious. Let's talk about it when I get back. I don't lack sons and sons-in-law. There's no need to rush into being someone's mother."
Jiang Yanxu looked at He Ruixue with a pleading look. Should he shout or not?
He Ruixue: “…”
Don't ask me, I don't know either.
He put down the eggs, looking melancholy, "You all know that I have been an orphan since I was a child. Auntie took such good care of me just now, I felt like I saw my own mother, but I was afraid that if I acted too eagerly, I would make you angry.
Auntie, if you don’t mind, let me call you mom. From now on, I will also have a mother.”
Well, it’s on again.
He Ruixue crushed the egg on the pancake, scooped a spoonful of sour beans on it, and rolled it up.
Well, it tastes really good this way.
She had already seen through Jiang Yanxu's tricks, but others had not. Hearing him speak so sincerely, even Wang Taozhi felt a little guilty.
"Well, Xiao Jiang, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. We will all be your family from now on."
He Xiaojie nodded, "Yes, uncle, my grandparents are very nice, especially my grandmother. Sometimes she says things that are hard to hear, but she has a soft heart.
Yesterday she kept complaining about you not bringing food, and worried that the clothes you brought weren't warm enough, so she dug out the military coat that my second uncle sent back and asked my grandfather to take it with him, intending to give it to you when the time comes."
Jiang Yanxu was a little surprised and became more devoted to his performance. "Thank you, Mom. Meeting Ruixue is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes. How could I be so worthy to meet a kind-hearted and considerate elder like you?
I used to live alone, with no experience in anything, and could only endure hunger and cold. With your concern, I feel like I have a stove burning in the cold winter, and my life has become much better. "
He Ruixue poked the salted duck egg with chopsticks, and the yellow oil oozed out from the cracks. Homemade salted egg whites are always saltier, so she threw it to He Dagen.
