With a companion, the time on the train is no longer long.
We occupied a carriage by ourselves, and we all knew each other, so the trip was very comfortable and there was no need to feel constrained.
After playing for a night, we were tired and the train arrived at some unknown city. Someone knocked on the door of the carriage and tried to sell something.
Qi Sisi originally wanted to see the excitement, but Sister Xu stopped her.
"We know everything about noodles is clean. We brought our own food. Sisi, you can eat it with the noodles."
Captain Zhou smiled and took out a large bag with several rusty steel lunch boxes in it.
"My wife made this in a hurry this afternoon. It's a bit crude, but it tastes good."
"Sister Xu is so amazing!"
Qi Sisi was truly moved.
She was so busy packing her luggage that she completely forgot to bring her own dry food.
"That's nothing. It takes us two days to get here by train from our hometown. We should prepare more!"
Sister Xu took it seriously and skillfully took things out.
"Hey, this is corn tortillas. You've eaten them before. They taste absolutely delicious with some roasted pork!"
Then hurriedly, he took out a small basin, took out a thermos, poured hot water into it, and then put the lunch box in to soak.
A few minutes later.
Lunch box opened.
The warm braised pork has a crystal clear skin and a light sweet fragrance.
“Looks delicious!”
Qi Sisi clasped her hands together, looking expectant.
Sister Xu smiled knowingly: "It tastes good too. My kids love it the most."
Corn cakes with braised pork are sweet and fragrant, fat and greasy, and absolutely delicious.
The two grown men ate rolls, ordinary soft-wheat rolls that were almost as big as the basin.
Wrapped in braised pork and topped with stir-fried cabbage, the taste doesn't look bad at all.
"Sister Xu's cooking skills are amazing!"
Zhao Xingyu also praised it.
Compared to Qi Sisi's love of making delicate side dishes, although Sister Xu's cooking looks a bit rough, the taste is not bad at all.
"Hey, after all these years of cooking, this is the only advantage I have." Sister Xu said with a smile, flirting with Captain Zhou with her eyes.
"My husband is tired of eating and always likes to go to the cafeteria."
“It’s unfair!”
Captain Zhou never expected that the fire would suddenly burn himself, just when he was fine.
"I just don't want you to work hard. We are just two people. It's appropriate for you to do more, but it's too much trouble if you do less."
Sister Xu also knew what was going on, so she smiled and stopped bullying him.
"The cafeteria is pretty cheap!"
Qi Sisi, the permanent staff member of the cafeteria, said something fair.
She also likes to eat in the cafeteria.
"You'll know the same thing when you have a child." Sister Xu looked at her with a smile.
Qi Sisi almost broke out in a cold sweat.
She still couldn't imagine herself and Zhao Xingyu having a child...
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about the next arrangements, shall we?"
"When we get to the capital, we'll stay in a guesthouse. Our advanced training class will be over in the afternoon, so I can accompany you to go around and see the capital." Captain Zhou said.
If it were just him and his wife, he would have too many thoughts, and his wife would probably not even want to be with him.
This is because we have Xiao Zhao and Xiao Qi. It’s nice to have extra companions, so you can feel more at ease when doing anything.
Zhao Xingyu glanced at the two of them, then looked at his wife.
"I have to go home and take Sisi with me."
It would be appropriate for me to visit my father when I come to the capital.
Moreover, after the marriage, his father gave him so many gifts. He should bring Sisi home to meet her. She is his wife, and everyone should know about it.
"Brother Zhao, you are from Beijing?"
Captain Zhou was greatly surprised. He only knew that Zhao Xingyu had no parents by his side, but he did not know that he was from Beijing. "Then why did he run so far..."
Zhao Xingyu was not angry, and said calmly: "My mother is from the south."
After his divorce, he wanted to live with his mother, but his parents were the same and neither of them had time to take care of him, so he ended up living in Qi's house.
Although both husband and wife have jobs and are very busy, they always have some time for their children. It is a normal family atmosphere.
Qi Sisi glanced at him.
The ugly daughter-in-law is going to meet her parents-in-law?
I heard that Zhao Xingyu's father is a commander, one level higher than my father's. Would he be very majestic and intimidating?
When my old man gets angry occasionally, his face looks so ugly that it scares the children to tears.
I suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Xingyu patted her hands without saying goodbye. With just one move, he comforted Qi Sisi.
"Is Sisi nervous?"
Sister Xu teased, "Don't worry, you are such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and you are also capable. Your in-laws will definitely like you."
"Sisi lives with me, and it's enough that I like her." Zhao Xingyu added lightly.
Sister Xu was stunned, her mouth opened wide, and then she laughed.
"Look at Brother Zhao, he's already protecting her, and he's really good at talking. Old Zhou, you have to learn from him!" When she first went to her husband's house, Old Zhou never said such words to her.
"What's there to learn? My parents treat you better than me. If anyone is to be annoyed, it's me..." When he went to his wife's house, he was very nervous. He picked the fresh and tender pakchoy and got a good beating.
Sister Xu laughed and stopped talking about school matters.
After dinner, we chatted and laughed until the night was quite late.
Qi Sisi leaned against the head of the bed and looked out the window at the scenery.
Occasionally you'll see some trees, sometimes a deserted village, and run-down thatched houses...
Sometimes there are vast expanses of lakes and seas, and you can also see stars in the sky.
The picture is beautiful.
The curtain was half drawn, and she leaned on her man's shoulder, admiring in silence.
Until I realized that my eyelids were getting heavy.
The head slowly hit the man's shoulder and then moved.
Zhao Xingyu turned his head and saw that the person had fallen asleep.
Without alarming her, he simply grabbed her, held her in his arms, moved down, and then laid her flat to let her sleep.
Sister Xu and Captain Zhou on the opposite side were also quiet, probably falling asleep.
Zhao Xingyu pulled the curtains and went to sleep.
To buy a sleeper berth ticket, you must be an official with a military ID. No idle person dares to enter here.
And the carriage door was locked, so if a thief tried to break in, he would definitely wake up.
Therefore, no one mentioned the night watch, and everyone slept peacefully.
When I woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Qi Sisi opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment. She was a little stunned and for a moment forgot where she was.
It wasn't until I heard the man at the end of the bed and Captain Zhou talking that my memory slowly returned.
As soon as she moved, Zhao Xingyu noticed it.
"Awake? Did you sleep well?"
Qi Sisi nodded slowly, still a little dazed: "Very good." But with him by her side, she slept very soundly and slept until eight in the morning.
"That's good."
A smile flashed in Zhao Xingyu's eyes.
"The train restaurant sells food this morning. I bought two boxes and left them warm. Do you want to go get them together?"
Qi Sisi nodded quickly.
She has never seen a current train. She seldom took one before, but later she took the high-speed train or drove herself.
This time it was a rare opportunity, Qi Si thought about seeing the outside world.
"Then follow me closely."
