Chapter 228: The Way Home

"There's something going on at home, how are you doing?" Lu Zhan Guo poured Liu Hongbing a glass of water before he spoke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's good, there seems to be a big adjustment in the military region this year, have you received the letter?" Liu Hongbing asked in a low voice.

Lu Zhan Guo nodded: "There is some news." ”

"Will you have a transfer?"

"Not necessarily, I guess there will be." Lu Zhan Guo frowned.

"I heard the grapevine, this time, maybe we can get together again." Liu Hongbing said a little excitedly.

Liu Hongbing ordered a pot of finger meat and ordered a few side dishes. Because I had to take the train at night, I didn't drink alcohol.

Chatting and eating slowly, Liu Hongbing was a little frightened about Gu Xiaobei's appetite. He and Lu Zhan Guo were talking, but they saw Gu Xiaobei keeping his head down and eating.

Jiang Jiahua and his friends finished eating, came out of the private room, and couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaobei and their table again.

I saw Gu Xiaobei holding a cup, sitting quietly beside Lu Zhanguo, looking at Lu Zhan Guo's eyes from time to time, full of love and happiness.

Jiang Jiahua couldn't say what he felt in his heart, sighed lightly, and came out of the hotel with his friends.

After eating, Lu Zhan Guo really asked for another piece of finger meat, and bought two aluminum lunch boxes to pack.

Liu Hongbing proposed to buy some baked cakes from the nearby farmers' market: "His baked cakes are more famous, and they won't be hard if they are left for two days, so you can buy some and take them to eat on the road." ”

Lu Zhan Guo thought about it, so he bought a few baked cakes and brought them, and when he saw that there were apples for sale, he bought a few more apples.

The train to the capital is not the starting train, but it comes from X province in the west, stops at the provincial station, and when the train arrives at the provincial station, the car is already crowded.

Fortunately, Lu Zhan Guo got two sleeper tickets. Lu Zhan Guo dragged Gu Xiaobei, squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty, and got into the car.

The aisle of the hard sleeper car is also full of people, and the conductor comes to catch up, but it is not easy to make it.

The two finally arrived in front of their bunks, but found that on their bunks, a young woman holding a child was sitting on one side, and an elderly woman was sitting on the other side.

Seeing Lu Zhan Guo and Gu Xiaobei standing in front of the bunk, the older woman got up a little embarrassed: "This is your bunk, let's sit for a while." ”

The young woman was about to get up with the child in her arms, Lu Zhan Guo looked at the people in the aisle, and said in a deep voice, "You sit down." ”

After speaking, he pulled Gu Xiaobei to sit down on the side bunk, Gu Xiaobei squeezed over all the way, sweated profusely, and untied his scarf, but he didn't dare to take it off immediately, for fear of catching a cold again.

Lu Zhan Guo put his luggage on the shelf, put the food on the small table, and then took off his military coat and sat down.

The older woman was already sitting across from her, looked the two of them up and down, and couldn't help asking, "You're a soldier, right?" ”

Lu Zhan Guo nodded and did not speak.

"The treatment of being a soldier is really good, and I sit in a sleeper when I go out." The older woman pouted.

Gu Xiaobei hated this woman a little, although he bought the ticket from a relationship, he also paid for it. Besides, when Lu Warring States was protecting everyone with their lives, why didn't anyone say anything.

"How much do you get a month now?" The older woman asked again.

"Sengoku, I want to eat apples, you go and wash an apple for me." Gu Xiaobei branched out to the land and the Warring States, so as not to be asked this and that by this woman.

After Lu Zhan Guo left with the apple, the older woman's attention was focused on Gu Xiaobei again: "The girl doesn't look very old, huh?" ”

The older woman's name was Sun Erhui, and she took her daughter-in-law to the capital to visit relatives. Sun Erhui is a typical person who hates people and laughs at people, seeing that Gu Xiaobei and his family are dressed well, and they bought sleeper tickets, and they have pink eye again.

Gu Xiaobei was silent, she knew such people too well, there were all kinds of people in the workplace, but they all hid their emotions very well, like Sun Erhui, her face was naked with jealousy and hatred. It's too easy for people to see through.

Sun Er was silent when he saw Gu Xiaobei, and then said, "I see, your man is much older than you." It can't be a second marriage, right? ”

Gu Xiaobei was a little angry, and said without any expression on his face: "Auntie, we don't know each other." ”

Sun Erhui choked for a moment and stopped talking. Lu Zhan Guo came back after washing the apples, took a clean handkerchief and wiped off the water droplets on the apples, and then handed it to Gu Xiaobei.

Sun Er met him, pouted, and was even more sure that this Lu Warring States must be a second marriage, and he finally found a little daughter-in-law, can he not coax it.

The conductor came to check the ticket again and drove people away, and Sun Er would play the scoundrel: "Comrade, it's not that we can't get a hard seat, but if you look over there, people don't even have a place to put their feet, we, the old and the young, holding the child, must not be squeezed to death." ”

The conductor was also helpless, there were indeed many people in the hard-seat carriage, even in the toilet and on the wash-washing table, not to mention the serials. Some people simply sleep under their seats. Not to mention walking, even if you want to lift your feet, you have to think about it, and when you land again, there will be no land.

Gu Xiaobei knew that this Sun Er would rely on them for a bunk.

The conductor finally insisted on driving away some of the young and strong ones to the hard-seat cars, leaving some of the older ones with children in their arms, and then locked the doors leading to the dining car and the hard-seat cars.

"There are a lot of people in the carriage, and when everyone sleeps, they are all optimistic about their luggage." The conductor told him over and over again before returning to the duty room.

Sun Erhui was proud of this, feeling that she had won this bunk by herself, and said to her daughter-in-law Jia Xiu: "Okay, we can live in this bunk for three days, all the way to your aunt's house in the capital." ”

If Gu Xiaobei hadn't seen that they were still holding a child, he would have rushed them up immediately, he was too ignorant.

Lu Zhan Guo patted Gu Xiaobei's hand comfortingly: "You lie down and sleep first." ”

"What about you?"

"I'll just lean on it, it'll be fine. Go to sleep. Lu Zhan Guo set up the pillow, asked Gu Xiaobei to lie down, and covered the quilt.

Gu Xiaobei disliked that the pillow quilt had been used by many people, so he spread the towel on the pillow, and the quilt only covered his chest, and then covered his upper body with his cotton clothes.

Sun Er would lie down on his own, and let Jia Xiu sit at the head of the bed with his month-old child in his arms.

Gu Xiaobei was disdainful in his heart, and curled up his legs sideways, so that Lu Zhan Guo could sit more spaciously.

The heating on the train was not very good, and in the second half of the night, a layer of ice flakes formed on the windows.

Lu Zhan Guo took care of Xiaobei and shrank in a ball all the time, took off his military coat, and covered her.

Jia Xiu looked at her with some jealousy, since she gave birth to her daughter, her mother-in-law and husband didn't want to see her, and her mother-in-law didn't even look at the child.

This time, he said that he was going to the cousin's house of his mother-in-law in the capital to visit relatives, but in fact, he wanted his cousin to find someone to give the child away. When the time comes to return to the village, he will say that the child is gone, and then he can have another one.

When he got up in the morning, after a simple wash, Gu Xiaobei took out the baked cakes, and the pickles in canned and bottled vegetables, and ate a little with Lu Zhanguo.

Sun Erhui, who was opposite, looked at his drool, and glared at his daughter-in-law Jia Xiu: "Put the child on the bed and fetch me a pot of hot water." (To be continued.) )
