At lunch time, the waiters on the train dining car push carts filled with lunch boxes and sell them from carriage to carriage. If passengers don’t want to eat lunch boxes, they can also pay to order food in the dining car.
Lunchboxes cost 35 cents each, half a box of vegetables and half a box of lunch. They are filling and cheap. They are very popular in hard-seat carriages, while passengers in sleeper and soft-seat carriages are relatively well-off. Many people choose to order in the dining car. eat.
The waiter pushed the dining cart from the sleeper car all the way to the soft-seat car where Yu Changle was sitting. The lunch boxes on the cart stood high like a mountain.
Li Zhi stood up, took a look, and asked:
"What kind of lunch is today?"
"Roasted eggplant with sea rice."
Li Zhi frowned when he heard that there was no serious meat at all:
"Is there any braised pork? Twice-cooked pork is also fine."
The waiter pushed the heavy dining cart alone to handle the entire carriage. There were too many people asking, and he became a little impatient:
"Yes, go to the dining car and order it. They have braised prawns!"
The waiter responded casually, not bothering to persuade him, and pushed the cart forward.
The one hundred and fifty lunch boxes in her dining car were not enough for the passengers in the hard-seat carriage. She had to push at least two more lunch boxes to get enough. She was not worried about not being able to sell them, so she was too lazy to ask Li Zhi for such a request. Too much passenger nonsense.
"Hey--"
Li Zhi was very unconvinced by the rebuke: "Go ahead, whoever likes to eat this tattered lunch box that can't even see meat stars, who can't afford prawns?!"
The waiter just pretended not to hear. He ate wherever he liked, and the money he spent couldn't go into her pocket anyway.
Just as the waiter was about to walk past the row, a hoarse voice came out:
"Get me a box."
Before he could sit down, Li Zhi's face suddenly became a little unnatural, because the person who bought this "broken lunch box" was the thin man who had been sitting opposite and said nothing.
The "skeleton man" stared at Li Zhi expressionlessly, making him feel a little uneasy. He didn't mean to say that the other person couldn't afford prawns and could only eat a broken box lunch.
Who knew that Yu Changle would also ask for a portion right after, and now Li Zhi's face became a little confused.
He sat down and said quietly to Yu Changle: "This lunch box is not good. Come on, I'll invite you to the dining car and let's have some food."
Yu Changle smiled and shook his head to reject his kindness:
"I quite like eating fried eggplant with dried shrimps. This lunch box looks okay. You don't need to be so particular when you go out."
"snort."
A very subtle chuckle came from the opposite side, and Yu Changle looked over keenly. He saw the "skeleton man" still eating his lunch box with the same expressionless expression.
Did she hear it wrong?
Yu Changle didn't have time to think too much because Li Zhi was still shouting in his ears:
"The lunch boxes are all big pot dishes, and they are not as delicious as those cooked to order. Today we have a chance to sit together. Let's go, I invite everyone to go to the dining car to eat some food!"
His generous speech instantly restored his face, and several other passengers sitting next to him immediately responded positively:
"Brother Zhi is awesome!"
"I'm so sorry, it costs Comrade Li a lot of money!"
"The people from Jingxi must be good at it!"
But Yu Changle was still unmoved. She opened the lid of the lunch box and ate directly. While eating, she said:
"You guys go, I bought all the lunch boxes, don't waste food by eating!"
Although living standards have improved these days, people still cherish food and would never say anything about throwing it away.
Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't hold on anymore, so he could only lead a few other people to the dining car.
As soon as they left, Yu Changle felt that the whole world became quiet.
She raised her head and glanced at the intact snakeskin bag, then ate the lunch one bite at a time.
Yu Changle didn't need to think about it to know that the food in the dining car could be as delicious as the food prepared by Hao Hao?
What's more, even the hospitable dishes can't take her away from her snakeskin bag, which contains all her wealth!
Yu Changle quickly glanced at the "skeleton man" sitting opposite. He was concentrating on eating and didn't pay attention to her.
The two of them were talking to each other and just focused on eating. They were much more stable than Yu Changle had imagined. If they could live in such peace and harmony, she suddenly felt that the "skeleton man" was not that scary.
After a while, Li Zhicai and the passengers came back from their meal. It was obvious that they had become quite familiar with each other through this meal.
She didn't know why, but Yu Changle always felt that those people looked at her with more meaning after they came back, but no one said anything, so she just thought she was too sensitive.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during the rest of the journey, and half a day passed by in a flash.
Thinking of arriving at Jinbo tomorrow evening, Yu Changle became even more excited. Whether she should say it or not, she had unconsciously imagined Meng Jiu'an standing at the exit waiting for her several times. She couldn't help but smile at the thought. Curl upward.
Li Zhi looked at the sweet smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Changle, please lie down on the table and sleep for a while. I'll take care of your luggage. When you wake up later, I'll take your place."
Yu Changle nodded gratefully to him. She couldn't help it. It was inconvenient to go out alone. She had met a good person and could take care of each other.
She was a little worried that the "skeleton man" would lie down on the table and sleep, but he fell asleep directly leaning against the side of the car.
Yu Changle lay down on the table happily, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt something resting on him.
She immediately sat up and realized that it was Li Zhi who took off his coat and put it on her back.
This slightly intimate gesture made Yu Changle feel that it was a bit much.
Her face was more serious than before: "No, you take your coat back and put it on."
Li Zhi, who was rejected, looked a little embarrassed and made up for it with a smile:
"I'm worried that it'll be cold at night. You'll catch a cold easily if you sleep on your stomach like this."
Yu Changle's expression turned cold. Her words had been made very clear. No matter how enthusiastic a person is, they should have a sense of proportion. Li Zhi's actions were obviously misleading.
"Then I won't sleep. You put on your clothes."
Li Zhi quickly put on his coat again and said as if coaxing a child:
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll put on my coat and you can go to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore. Don't be angry."
Yu Changle felt that what he said was completely inexplicable. Why should she be angry about such a trivial matter.
But thinking of Li Zhi's care for her along the way, she endured it and didn't say anything more. She just turned her head to the window, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
Little did she know that as soon as she turned her head, Li Zhi made a helpless expression and shrugged at the people next to him.
Those people also had expressions of watching the excitement, smiling silently and winking at him.
Nowadays, these young people just like to mess around. How can they be like people of their generation, who will be committed to this person for the rest of their lives after getting married, and quarrels and bickering are nothing?
This girl can't just rely on her beauty to be coaxed by a big man like this!
According to them, she just needs to be dealt with!
