Yang Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly. Yang Baiyi was afraid that his sister would get too hot, so he kept fanning her with a newspaper.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, you are so kind to your sister. When I was little, my brother was also very kind to me.
Later he joined the border defense army and didn't go home for several years."
Looking at Yang Xiaoxiao who was sleeping soundly, Lin Wanru felt as if she saw herself as a child.
"Then your brother must be your pride, right? The conditions at the border are difficult and the climate is harsh.
Every soldier who guards the border is a national hero, possessing an incomparably strong will and the most steadfast faith."
Whether in the past life or this life, the soldiers stationed on the border are the people Yang Baiyi admires the most.
"Yes! My brother will always be my pride."
Lin Wanru said in a firm tone.
At dinner, Yang Baiyi’s meal was still the most sumptuous.
There were steamed dumplings with hot noodles and refreshing cold dishes. Yang Baiyi also went to the water room and brewed two cups of egg tea in a teacup.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, you brought raw eggs on the train? I'm really impressed. You're not afraid of crushing them."
Yang Baiyi's meals left the three people sitting opposite him dumbfounded.
"I put it in the iron lunch box. My sister is still young and growing up, so she can't just eat it."
Yang Baiyi used newspaper to cool the egg tea and placed it in front of Yang Xiaoxiao.
"Brother is the best."
The little girl's big eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons when she smiled.
Those who are loved are the happiest.
"A crazy sister-loving demon!"
The three people opposite sighed and continued to gnaw on the cold and hard buns in their hands.
After dinner, everyone chatted with each other.
We talked about our family and friends. When it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, that’s when we miss home the most.
We talked about the unknown life in the countryside and hoped to be assigned to a relatively prosperous production team.
Taking root in the most difficult places is just a slogan after all. After all, there are only a few people who are willing to suffer.
As the night deepened, the temperature in the carriage became much cooler. Everyone either leaned on the backrest or lay on the table, slowly falling asleep.
Yang Baiyi put his arms around his sister, let the little girl rest her head on his legs, and covered her with a small blanket.
As for Yang Baiyi himself, he also closed his eyes and rested.
After experiencing the end of the world full of crises, Yang Baiyi can enter a deep sleep in any environment, and can also go without sleep for several days and nights and still be full of energy.
This is an essential skill for survival in the apocalypse. After the cruel apocalypse, only the elites remain.
On the second day, the atmosphere in the carriage was obviously not as lively as the first day. Everyone was mostly rubbing their swollen legs and moving their sore arms.
Sleeping in a cramped seat is not as comfortable as sleeping in bed.
Every time the train arrives at a station, everyone gets off to stretch their bodies and breathe some fresh air.
"Want one?"
Cui Jinfa handed over a cigarette.
"Thank you, I don't smoke."
In his previous life, Yang Baiyi was also a heavy smoker, and cigarettes helped him relieve mental stress.
After traveling to Blue Star, although there was a large amount of stock in the space, Yang Baiyi had never drawn any.
"I didn't smoke before, but when I was about to graduate and had trouble finding a job, I was under increasing stress and started smoking."
Cui Jinfa lit a cigarette and looked at the smoke rising. Cui Jinfa smiled bitterly. Perhaps he was still a little reluctant to go to the countryside to join the team!
At noon, Yang Baiyi brought out a lot of pancakes and cumin lamb to share with a few people.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, thank you for your kindness. I'll just have some steamed buns."
"I don't like lamb. It tastes too strong."
Everyone was tactful and rejected Yang Baiyi's kindness.
In this era of material scarcity, we couldn’t often eat meat, let alone on the train or even at home.
Others may just give in casually, but you should not be so careless as to know your limits.
“I brought a lot, and it’s so hot, if I don’t finish it, it will go bad quickly.
It would be such a waste if it went bad, so please help me share the burden."
Yang Baiyi has never been a hypocritical person. His strong strength is his confidence, which allows him to not have to please anyone.
"Brothers and sisters, please try it. It's really delicious."
Yang Xiaoxiao has always firmly believed that the food her brother cooks is the most delicious in the world.
The little girl ate two days of terrible food in the first two days after her parents passed away, and she completely forgot about it.
"Here, take it."
Yang Baiyi rolled the pancakes skillfully and stuffed them into their hands one by one.
"Thank you, Comrade Yang Baiyi."
Knowing that Yang Baiyi was not giving in for nothing, they no longer refused insincerely.
“This taste is absolutely amazing.”
Dong Yiming took a bite and praised it highly.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, how do you keep these pancakes? My steamed buns are hard, but yours are still soft."
Fan Jin looked at his steamed bun, his face full of confusion.
"I put it in a plastic bag, which is tightly sealed and keeps it fresh.
The soft pancakes, the sizzling cumin lamb, the refreshing and crisp lettuce leaves, the mixture of several ingredients brought the ultimate enjoyment to the few people.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, did you make this cumin lamb yourself? You should work in a state-owned restaurant. Going to the countryside to work in the fields is a waste of talent."
It’s not that Cui Jinfa is being ungrateful, he really thinks it’s delicious.
As far as he could remember, he had never eaten anything so delicious.
"Yo! Cumin lamb burrito? Let me try it and see how it tastes."
The male educated youth sitting across the aisle reached out to take the pancake on the table.
When Fan Jian saw Yang Baiyi and his sister eating yesterday, he was so greedy.
But he and Yang Baiyi didn't know each other, so even if he wanted to eat it, he was too embarrassed to ask for it.
This afternoon, when he saw Yang Baiyi actually take it out and share it with everyone, Fan Jian couldn't help it any longer.
If you are thick-skinned, you can’t eat enough; if you are thin-skinned, you can’t eat anything.
He and Yang Baiyi were not familiar with each other, so it was impossible to expect someone to give it to him on their own initiative.
But he went to take it with a smug look on his face. Since they were all young people, Yang Baiyi probably wouldn't be embarrassed to say anything.
"I'm sorry, I didn't bring much, just enough for the few of us."
Yang Baiyi was quick-witted and stretched out his hand to block the table.
"There are still plenty left. Let me try one to see how it tastes."
Since he had already shamelessly asked for it, Fan Jian would not give up until he could have it. He hid his embarrassment with a playful smile, walked around Yang Baiyi's hand, and continued to take the pancakes on the table.
"Hasn't what I said been clear enough? What are you doing? Robbery?"
Yang Baiyi didn't tolerate him at all and slapped Fan Jian's hand away.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, isn't it just a bite of food? Why are you so stingy?
Do you have any opinion about me giving them food but not giving it to me?"
Fan Jian covered his right hand, which was slapped red, with his left hand and asked with a look of shame and anger.
