Jujubes are a good thing nowadays. They can replenish qi and blood. She also needs them when making desserts and so on.

Lu Huaijin thought his wife's little brain was quite magical:

"You grew a tree from a core. Maybe we'll all move to another place to live. If you want to plant it, I'll see if I can get you a ready-made tree when the time comes."

Xu Niannian murmured:

"But my dates are delicious."

Suddenly she thought of the grafting technology of later generations. After Lu Huaijin brought the jujube tree back to her, she could also use the branches she planted to graft it on. At worst, she could just cut a branch from the space.

After filling his stomach with a few dates, he handed the lunch box to Lu Huaijin:

"You eat it."

I took out the rabbit head from the bag again. After eating the fruit, I wanted to eat some spicy meat to satisfy my craving. This was made earlier and put in the space.

The recipe used was from Bashu, and the rabbit head was the leftover from making rabbit meat cubes for them.

There is a layer of red oil on top, and the whole bone is stewed until it is crispy and soft, and it falls off when you pull it.

At this time, someone had already come up to the bed next door. A woman was pulling two girls and a boy.

Just opposite them, by the time the woman stuffed her luggage under the bed, the boy had been staring at the dates in Lu Huaijin's hand for a long time.

They live in a rural area near the capital and don't often eat red dates.

The car started and drove out of the station. The rolling hills in the distance gradually disappeared from sight.

We slowly started driving to a more remote area and wheat fields began to appear outside.

When the little boy smelled the red dates, he couldn't help staring at them. The boy stuffed his fingers in his mouth and his saliva flowed down his fingers and all over his hands.

The woman glanced across and realized that her son was greedy again, so she pinched the girl next to her:

"Daya, I'm busy, don't you know how to take care of your brother? Can't you see that your hands are drooling? You have no eyesight at all. What's the point of raising you to this age?"

Daya didn't make any sound after being twisted like that, as if she was used to it, and took out a towel specially for her brother from her bag.

She reached out and wiped the saliva off his hands.

The boy started crying at this time:

"Mom, I want to eat dates. I want to eat big dates."

The woman glanced over there again and saw that it was a righteous man holding the dates, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.

When Lu Huaijin heard this, he turned to look at Xu Niannian. This was not something he bought, so he could not make a decision.

Xu Niannian also had a frown on his face. Giving her a few dates was really nothing, but the little boy's crying made her head buzz.

She wiped her hands, took out three dates from her lunch box, and looked at the little boy:

"If I gave you dates, would you still cry?"

The woman also pinched the little boy, telling him to stop while he was ahead so as not to make others dislike him. The dates were so big that they looked very attractive.

The little boy sobbed and said:

"Don't cry. If you give it to me, I will stop crying."

Xu Niannian extended her hand to the girl who was just called Daya:

"One for each of you three kids."

Daya lowered her head and said:

"Thank you, sister."

Then he hesitated and gave one to his younger brother.

The second sister also heard the elder sister say that she also had a share, so she quickly snatched hers, put it directly into her mouth and took a bite. It tasted so sweet.

She quickly elbowed her elder sister:

"Eat it quickly, it's delicious, or Tiedan will ask you for more later."

Daya glanced at her mother, but her mother's eyes fell on the two people on the bed opposite, so she secretly took a bite and Zao suffered an injury.

But she can also make delicious food.

The younger brother had already finished eating, but he was still eager to eat more, so he snatched it directly from his elder sister.

Anyway, at home, the delicious food is always given to him first.

Xu Niannian saw it and frowned, but the boy would wake up without crying and would not bother her.

The woman started talking to the girl opposite:

"Big sister, where are you going? I'm going to the army to find my man."

Xu Niannian didn't expect that the girl opposite was a military wife:

“I’m going to the army, too.”

When this was mentioned, the women's eyes lit up:

"You are also a military wife, you look really young. My name is Wang Xiuping, this is your husband, I really love you and you came to pick me up. It's the first time for me and my children to go out so far. Where are you getting off?"

Xu Niannian glanced at Lu Huaijin and asked, "Can you tell me where my work is?"

Lu Huaijin said directly:

"We are going to North City."

Most of the adjacent tickets have the same destination, which makes management easier.

Sure enough, the woman slapped her thigh:

"I'm going to North City too. Young man, do you know my man, Wang Qianjin?"

Lu Huaijin searched his mind:

"Is it Vice Captain Wang?"

The woman stood up:

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect to meet my comrades here. I feel much more at ease now."

When I first got on this train, I was a little nervous, fearing that I would miss my stop or get off at the wrong stop.

Lu Huaijin nodded:

"I'll call you when I get off the bus."

"Okay, I feel relieved now."

Waiters started to come with carts and sell their wares:

"It's time for boxed lunches. Boxed lunches cost 1.5 yuan or 2.5 yuan a box. Freshly made boxed lunches."

The lunch box was covered with a quilt to keep it warm. One dollar and fifty cents was not cheap in that era, but it was a sleeper car after all, so several people wanted to eat it.

Lu Huaijin glanced at Xu Niannian:

"Do you want to eat?"

Xu Niannian had just eaten two rabbit heads and a few dates, and now she was no longer hungry:

"You buy a box, I'll eat a few of yours, I'm not very hungry."

When the waiter came to them, he asked:

"What's the difference between two dollars and a dollar and a half?"

"For 2.5 yuan, you get braised pork, shredded potatoes, and stir-fried pork. For 1.5 yuan, you get stewed meat with potatoes, scrambled eggs with hot peppers, and stir-fried beans."

"Then give me one of each."

He reached out and paid.

Pass the braised pork to Xu Niannian:

"You eat first and give me the rest."

"Ah? Then do you want me to serve it out first and you can eat what I leave?"

"No, just give me the food you are full of."

My lips are sore from kissing, so what’s the point of eating some leftovers?

Xu Niannian tightened her grip on the chopsticks. To be honest, if she were asked to eat Lu Huaijin's leftovers, she would definitely be disgusted.

When I opened the lunch box, the aroma of meat hit my nose. Although the food on the train is expensive these days, it is authentic, with six or seven pieces of braised pork.

She reached out and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted very good, with just the right amount of fat and lean meat, and was stewed until soft.

The boy opposite smelled the smell and swallowed, but he didn't dare to shout. He also knew that at two dollars and fifty cents, there was no way his mother would be willing to buy him a box.

Sure enough, his mother took out the pancake she had made the day before from her pocket and handed it to him:

"Eat, Tiedan. We'll go have a good meal when we see your dad."
