Chapter 152 Unintentional Eavesdropping
The journey was still long, and Shen Anan had nothing to do, so she started chatting with the people opposite her. As they chatted, she found out that the couple opposite her were also going to Beijing City, so it was fate.
The box lunches on the train were as affordable as ever. At noon, Shen Yuanjun went to the dining car to buy some food. Today's box lunches were light in texture. Shen Anan thought about it and took out two lunch boxes from her bag.
"Aunt Fu, Uncle Ning, please try this. This is the spicy stew I made." Shen Anan put the dishes she had brought on the road on the middle table.
She had a very pleasant chat with Fu Caiying along the way, and it was not a good idea to eat alone at this time.
Fu Caiying and the other person refused for a long time before picking up a piece of food from the lunch box with chopsticks. Unexpectedly, they were amazed as soon as they put it in their mouth.
Especially Ning Zhensheng, who had not been able to eat for the past two days because of worry. Now this mouthful of spicy stew actually gave him some appetite.
Shen Anan's spicy stew this time not only has seafood, but also some vegetarian dishes, such as edamame, kelp, potatoes, etc., all with red oil and red sauce. Although it is cold, it tastes better.
When Fu Caiying reacted, she found that she and Lao Ning had eaten almost half of the girl's lunch box.
Fu Caiying blushed immediately. She glared at her disappointing husband before she said, "An'an, I'm sorry. It's really because your cooking skills are so good."
"This old Ning is just greedy!"
He wasn't the only one eating this, why are you only talking about him?
Ning Zhensheng was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to refute Fu Caiying's words. He could only mutter a few words in his heart.
Shen Anan laughed and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm so happy that you guys are here to support me."
By the way, the recipe for this spicy stew was something she learned specifically in her previous life. This time in South Island, she was able to get all the seasonings ready because she had established a good relationship with the squad leader of the kitchen squad.
She still has several seasonings in her space, so she can make them when she gets home.
Besides, she was the one who treated them to the meal, so how could she mind?
Even though Shen Anan said this, Fu Caiying and his wife did not reach into the lunch box with their chopsticks again. Even after the meal, Fu Caiying wanted to give Shen Anan money.
"An'an, take this money. We can't just eat your food for free." Fu Caiying took the money and stuffed it into Shen An'an's hand.
Every family is having a hard time now. They gave away most of the food that people had prepared for the journey, which is unacceptable.
"Aunt Fu, there's really no need. Talking about money will make me alienated from you!" After several persuasions, Fu Caiying took the things back, and his impression of Shen Anan also improved dramatically.
When Shen Anan just got in the car, her eyes lit up. This girl really had a hibiscus face and a unique temperament.
Perhaps it is the confidence and leisure between her eyebrows that make her look so different, just like the sun behind the dark clouds, always illuminating others.
She is also very graceful in dealing with people. She is really an excellent girl!
If she didn't have something on her mind, she would have gone to promote her brat a long time ago!
If that guy could find her a daughter-in-law like this, she would probably wake up with a smile in her sleep!
That’s not right. If that day really came, she would probably be so excited that she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
There were no mobile phones in those days, so Shen Anan could only lean against the bed to read a book, but the shaking of the train made her feel a little dizzy, so she had to go to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Shen Anan got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
Hearing the sound from the lower bunk, Shen Yuanjun's eyes suddenly opened. He leaned over the head of the bed to take a look before lying back down.
Although there are conductors patrolling on this train, you still have to stay alert.
When Shen Anan got out of bed, she found that the two people on the bed opposite were not there.
Coming out of the bathroom, Shen Anan was about to go back, but heard a whisper coming from the corner where the carriages were connected.
Shen Anan wanted to walk over directly, but she heard a soft cry coming from the front, and it sounded like Fu Caiying.
If he went there now, it would be too embarrassing, but he couldn't take a detour here, so Shen Anan could only stand aside and wait.
Ning Zhensheng lit the cigarette in his hand with a match that he had struck twice before it lit up. He brought it to his lips and took a deep breath. His posture seemed a little unfamiliar.
"Don't cry, it will be here tomorrow." Ning Zhensheng looked at Fu Caiying with red eyes, with heartache in his eyes, and took out a handkerchief from his arms.
"You can imagine how scared Xiao Huai and Xiao Xin must be right now. It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going to the island to investigate, we would have received the telegram a long time ago!" Fu Caiying's voice choked with sobs.
"No one could have imagined this. Don't cry. You have to believe them. The children of our Ning family are all good."
Although Ning Zhensheng said comforting words, his brows were furrowed, and deep in his heart, fear was spreading.
This time, he and Fu Caiying went to a small island in the blue sea for an investigation, but he did not expect that the old man at home suddenly became critically ill.
No one else could contact them, and by the time they learned the news, it had been nearly half a month since the old man was critically ill.
Although they rushed back as soon as they heard the news, if the message in the telegram was true, it would be too late for them to go back now.
He hasn't slept for several days since he found out about this.
The old man was in good health when they left, so why did he suddenly fall ill this time? He was really afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life because of a mistake.
The cigarette in Ning Zhensheng's hand was almost burnt out, but he still kept his head down. It was not until Fu Caiying noticed it that she took the cigarette butt from his hand.
"Old Ning, don't worry. Dad will be fine. Maybe by the time we go back, he will have been discharged from the hospital." Fu Caiying patted Ning Zhensheng on the back.
Yes, Lao Ning is the one who is most worried now!
"I'm fine, don't worry." Ning Zhensheng turned around and pulled the person in front of him into his arms, hugging him tightly.
He knew that after the old man fell ill, he would be the pillar of the family and he could not fall!
"Okay, go to sleep quickly. Be careful that your son and daughter will laugh at you when they see you looking so dirty." Fu Caiying looked at the red bloodshot in Ning Zhensheng's eyes with heartache.
"Sleep, we need to conserve our energy." Ning Zhensheng took a deep breath and wiped the remaining tears on his wife's face with a handkerchief.
How could she sleep well these days?
No matter what situation they will face tomorrow, they have to hold on.
Shen Anan waited for a while until the footsteps at the corner went away before returning to the box. Fortunately, Fu Caiying and his wife did not stay long.
She didn't expect that she would hear other people's privacy so late at night.
It turned out that something happened at home. No wonder the two people looked so embarrassed.
Shen Anan didn't think too much about it. After returning to bed, she fell asleep soon.
No matter what happens, waking up is a new day!
