Chapter 11: Estes the Miscalculated
"Have you been in this car for a long time?"
It seems that the little girl agrees with this train
"Well~six years~Linda has been in this car for six years~"
"Six years...... How old are you this year? β
"Ten years old~"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Let a four-year-old girl sell newspapers, are those bastards in the railway bureau blind?! No one cares about this train if it's so nonsense?!
"It's ...... It's hard, isn't it? β
A four-year-old child started selling newspapers...... When Estes was four years old, he was still in the kitchen slaughtering chickens and cows. (Four-year-old cattle slaughtered...... OTZοΌ
"Have you had lunch?"
It's only half past eleven now, and the little girl was talking to herself just now, of course, she hasn't eaten
"Nope."
"Really?"
patted the seat next to him and motioned for the little girl to sit down
"Let's eat together, I bought a little too much bread to eat, help my sister eliminate one~"
This lie is to deceive people who have never eaten with Estes, but anyone who has eaten with him knows that the girl is not an ordinary eater, but a foodie who can eat a restaurant.
Two lunches of ham and cheese sandwiched with egg bread are no pressure on Estes.
"Hmm~"
Dad had said you couldn't waste food, so Linda thought it should be okay to do so
Place your satchel and newspaper on the seat opposite Estes.
Walked over to Estes's voice and climbed to the seat that was a little high for Linda, unwrapped the butter from the wrapper, cut Estes' portion and put it on the plate, then cut the soft cheese inside and put it on Estes's plate. The little girl's movements were quick, and it was evident that it wasn't once or twice that she had handled this kind of thing and filled the seasoning in a paper packet.
"You seem to be very skilled in your movements."
After the little girl cut it, Estes began to eat, because there was a little ghost with him today, and he couldn't let people see how much he could eat, and Estes had to eat little by little, and he looked very elegant.
"Well~ because Linda cuts butter and cheese for Baba every day~ every day for lunch~"
After cutting a portion of Estes, little Linda also cut herself, then tied a napkin, took a knife and fork, and started.
"Don't pray before meals?"
Isn't it customary for children of Ishbal to pray to the god Ishbal who gave them food before eating, rather than to the peasant uncle who worked hard to farm the land, because the gifts of the gods were not easy to come by?
"Pray? Why? β
Linda tilted her head, her large, ruby-like eyes puzzled at Estes' pair of sapphires full of question marks
ββ¦β¦ No, it's nothing, let's hurry up and start ~ In a while, the car will enter the station. You're going to be busy, aren't you? β
I remember that little Linda said that she would have lunch with her father, and it seemed that it was after the train arrived at Ishbalsi station at noon every day.
It is estimated that his father should have worked near the platform. There is now a recession, only the soldiers, and the soldiers of Amestories, who have no affection for the Ishbals, and are even hostile.
"Is my sister going to Ishbal to work?"
As she quickly wiped out the lunch bread in front of her, Linda asked
"Well, I have a job, I recently took a vacation, and now the vacation is almost over, it's time to go to work."
Although only four days of vacation had passed, Estes didn't want to return to the army on Monday, and she still had to accompany the gang of subordinates.
"Then why is my sister's luggage ......?"
Large, jewel-colored eyes looked at the luggage rack above the train
"Why are there so many?"
In the empty carriage, the luggage rack was very unscientifically occupied.
Large bags of snacks and food, as well as some parcels, were souvenirs brought back by Estes and begged for by several soldiers from his hometown in Lischenbour.
For four days, Estes not only played with the children at home, but also went to visit the elderly at the homes of several soldiers from his regiment, whose hometown was in Lisengbul.
Then I brought them some things from home.
"Because there are a lot of things that my sister's friends asked my sister to bring~"
"But...... How will my sister get out of the car for a while? You can't take so many things alone, right? β
Even if the number of good things is here
"It's okay~ When the time comes, I'll call my colleague to come and move things~"
Anderson is confident in this
"But today, the train will only stop for three minutes at Ishbalsi Station and will return to make way for the military train, can my sister's colleague come in three minutes?"
In the opinion of Linda, a professional conductor, it is not enough for two people to finish moving these things, and five minutes is not enough
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ When did this come about? Doesn't the general train stop at the terminal station for more than 30 minutes to add water and coal? β
The smile on Estes' face froze
"That's usually true, but today is an exception~ Sister, you don't know, do you?"
Looking at Estes's embarrassed look, of course I don't know.
"The train timetable will be posted at the first station every day, hasn't my sister seen it?"
If Estes wasn't busy with Meng Wenli at that time, how could he have the time to look at the timetable?
She has only two experiences in taking the train or something, one is from the Briguz train to the center, and the other is from Ishbal to Lisenbull, both times are organizational arrangements, where do you use to see the timetable when you take the military train you say?
Caused Estes's little white.
It's miserable, it's miserable!
Estes knew he had miscalculated. A big miscalculation
"Actually, my sister doesn't need to be too nervous, just let the things be unloaded within three minutes~"
Compared with Estes's embarrassment, Linda didn't look in a hurry
"Linda, do you have any ideas?"
For the problems that she can't solve, Estes never drills a tendon, which is also a habit and benefit for her to study everywhere and find teachers.
"Well, please Sister Jessica, the ticket inspector, Uncle Kurko, the chef, and Brother Gade, the train guard, plus Aunt Rubina, who cleans the train, can solve it in two minutes~"
Counting on her fingers, Linda felt that this lineup was definitely enough.
"You're going to wipe out all the people who are out there? ~β
Estes felt that this little girl was a little too naΓ―ve, how could such a young girl ask a group of members who had been on the train for so long......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Thank you Sister Jessica ~ Uncle Kurko ~ Big Brother Gade ~ Big Sister Rubina ~"
Looking at the luggage that was quickly moved down, Estes, who was still full of impossible front feet, felt that he was too much of a failure, and he was really ...... by a ten-year-old girl Saved
