Chapter Twenty-Seven: Backwardness
"The car to the city is leaving, and those who don't get on the bus get on the bus quickly."
A shout broke the warm atmosphere of the family's chatter.
Lei Ce turned his head and glanced at the car driver who was hanging on the window, holding a military duffel bag in one hand and pulling her to say goodbye to the Song family of three with the other, "Uncle, aunt, Jiahui, we should go, you guys go back too!" If there is something at home in the future, write to us, and we will try to rush back. ”
"Got it, hurry up and get on the bus, there will be no seats for a while; When you arrive at the army, remember to write back and tell me. Wu Cuihua tearfully pushed them into the car.
Chu Tianyi's nose was sour, and he stood by the car door and waved at them, "We know, we will definitely write back; Jiahui, take care of your aunt and uncle. ”
"Okay." Jiahui shouted, watching his cousin protect his cousin and sister-in-law, and was squeezed into the car under the crowd, and his eyes suddenly became wet.
The car turned around and slowly pulled out of the dam.
Chu Tianyi looked at the three members of the Song family who were getting farther and farther away from them, and the hazy tears in his eyes couldn't stop falling anymore; Reborn back to the present, he has changed the trajectory of his fate, and he has a few more worries.
Reitzer rested his right hand on her shoulder, staring out the window with eagle eyes, silently comforting her.
Chu Tianyi leaned into his arms and was silent with each other.
When she arrived in the city, it was already noon, and Lei Zer took her hand and found a small booth nearby to sit down.
The middle-aged boss put down the bowl he was cleaning up and walked over with a smile, "What are you two eating?" Our bean curd rice here is very authentic, and people who have eaten it will come to eat it again when they pass by here, do you want to try it? ”
Hearing this sentence reminded her of the advertising slogans of later generations; Chu Tianyi glanced at it, the stall was very small, and it was better to be clean, so he smiled, "Then let's have two!" ”
"Okay." The boss smiled and served them two servings of bean curd rice, and also added an extra spoonful of rice to Lei Ze's rice bowl very understandingly, "You eat slowly, just say what you need." ”
"Okay, thank you, boss." Lei Ce thanked her and gave her the chopsticks, "Eat quickly, eat and rush to Province C, and you can have a good rest when you get on the train." ”
Chu Tianyi nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and gave him more than half of the rice in the bowl, "Brother, you eat more and eat more." ”
"Can you eat like that?" Reitzer frowned and looked at her middle bowl, which still had a bottom in it.
"After a morning in the car, my stomach was a little upset, and I couldn't eat so much; Don't waste it after eating, you can help me eat it! Chu Tianyi nodded, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, chewed and ate slowly.
Lei Ce saw that she really had no appetite, his brows locked, and he finished eating silently, "Daughter-in-law, you wait for me here, I'll go and make it convenient." "Get up and walk in the other direction of the station.
Chu Tianyi frowned slightly, although it was the first time she came to the city, she still knew that there was absolutely no toilet in that direction.
The boss shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, girl, your husband is buying food for you, there is a shop selling cakes in that alley, and it tastes good." ”
Liu Mei raised lightly, "Boss, check out." ”
"Does the girl have food stamps, and the food stamps are five cents; If you pay directly, it will cost you five cents. ”
"Pay." Chu Tianyi took out five cents and five cents and handed it to the boss, carried a military duffel bag, and followed.
Walking into the dark alley, looking at the slightly embarrassed, but determined tall figure in front of the stall, Chu Tianyi smiled warmly.
"Daughter-in-law, why are you here? Didn't you tell you to wait for me where you were? Under her smiling gaze, Lei Ze walked up to her awkwardly and handed her the bread wrapped in oiled paper, "Try to see if you have an appetite, I ate here once last time I went back; The taste is OK and the portion is sufficient. ”
Chu Tianyi put down the military duffel bag and took the cake wrapped in oiled paper; I opened the package, took a bite, and took a mouthful of oily star bubbles, "It's so delicious!" The beautiful eyebrows locked together.
"Is it unpalatable?" Lei Zer lowered his head and asked for a bite, chewing, "It's okay!" ”
Chu Tianyi looked down at the two tooth marks next to each other on the cake, his pretty face was slightly red, and he lost his mind for a moment, "Brother, do you have a lot of oil star bubbles eating?" ”
"Yes! What's wrong? ”
Chu Tianyi picked up the duffel bag and stuffed it for him, and pulled him out, "Eating oil star bubbles means that the oil he uses is not good; This is the oil that has been used for many days, and it is taken out to sell the cakes, so I eat a mouthful of oil bubbles. Not to mention that eating such oil is not good for the body, it will not solve the craving. ”
The nutrients of the oil are used up repeatedly, and eating it in the stomach is equivalent to a waste product.
Lei Zer nodded solemnly and said, "So that's the case, then I won't buy it here next time." ”
"Okay." Chu Tianyi shook her head and smiled, she didn't have to show disgust; Instead, the dark disease in Lei Ze's body is just right, and some foods that increase the burden on the body, if you can avoid it, it is better for him to avoid it as much as possible.
In her usual life, she also tries not to eat leftovers; Because there is no nutritional value in it, there is also a miniature toxin that will increase the pressure on the body's internal organs.
The two stepped on the bus to Province C, and there were only about a dozen people in the car; After the car departed, I picked up a lot of people along the road.
In this way, the speed of progress was reduced, and by the time they arrived at the bus station in Province C, it was already half past four in the afternoon; It was only twenty minutes before the train departed, and Lei Ce didn't dare to stop longer, so he took her to the train station, bought a ticket and went directly into the carriage.
The current carriages are iron cars, and the speed and conditions of the trains cannot be compared with those of later generations; However, in this era, transportation was not developed, and if you went far, you could only choose a train with poor conditions, noisy and slow speed.
"Follow me every day." Reitzer let go of her hand, took out the ticket, and found the place of the two; Unfortunately, the location is a bit far away, one is in the third in the first column entering the carriage, and one is in the fifth in the second column.
Lei Ze frowned and pulled her to sit in the third seat of the first column, "I'll exchange tickets with the person sitting in this position in a while, and we can sit together." ”
Chu Tianyi nodded, "Okay, put the duffel bag in the place!" "The location is safe.
"Hmm." Lei Ze did as he was told, and after putting away her luggage, he pulled her to sit down.
When the train starts, there is no one or a megaphone to notify, which is a test of time for passengers who have not boarded the train.
"Sir, this is my place, please give way." A woman's voice came, and Lei Zer got up and said, "This sister-in-law, I want to exchange tickets with you, is it okay?" ”
The woman frowned, looked at him, and shook her head, "No." ”
Lei Ze's sword frowned, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Chu Tianyi got up and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, this is my lover, it's me who is a little dizzy; My lover wants to take care of me nearby, can I exchange a ticket? ”
The woman looked at them again, and although she was reluctant, she was not unreasonable; He nodded, "Okay! Take your ticket out and we'll exchange it. ”
After changing the ticket, the woman went to the fifth position in the second column, and the husband and wife were relieved.
The train slowly moved away from the platform, and before it left Province C, darkness fell.
Chu Tianyi looked at the dim lights of thousands of homes outside the car window, fading away the sadness of her relatives' parting, and her heart was overflowing with joy.
"Every day, it's time to eat." At some point, Lei Ze went to the front of the train and came back with two small lunch boxes.
Chu Tianyi smiled, picked up the lunch box and opened it to see that the rice and vegetables were already yellowed, and there was still a rancid smell, "Brother, don't eat it, it's all rancid; You go and throw away the rice and fetch two glasses of water. ”
"Every day, it's just a little bit of flavor, and I can eat it."
Chu Tianyi frowned, glared at him angrily, picked up two lunch boxes, and threw them out of the car window; Stooping down and taking out two cups from the duffel bag under the seat, "Look at the salute." ”
Lei Zer watched dumbfounded as the little woman walked through the aisle, walked to the edge of the carriage and came back with two glasses of boiling water, "Every day, those things are really edible." "They are all children from the countryside, who has never eaten glutinous rice and vegetables? How did he marry a squeamish daughter-in-law?
"Nonsense, who said you can't eat it?" Chu Tianyi was annoyed, put the water cup on the table, and pulled him to sit down; Lowered his voice and scolded unhappily, "But, after eating a bad stomach, when do you think I gave you the leftovers from the next meal?" The leftovers from the next meal are more or less toxins, which is not good for the body and will increase the pressure on the internal organs. ”
Lei Ze pursed his lips and glanced at the two big men looking at them opposite, unable to say anything he wanted to say.
Chu Tianyi bent down and took out four eggs from his duffel bag and threw them into a cup, and took out a large package wrapped in oiled paper; When he opened the package, there were more than a dozen sheets of dough in it, exuding a strong aroma of oil and mint, and he was tired of giving him a piece of dough, "Just eat it with hot water!" ”
One day, the two of them had a decent meal at noon, and Lei Ze was hungry at this time; I didn't have the heart to argue with her about whether the rancid rice and vegetables could be eaten, so I drank a sip of hot water and finished the cake in three or two clicks, "Tiantian, you're not a dough cake, right?" ”
"It is made with wild yam and meat from the mountain, and the wild yam itself is sticky, so the meat can be tightly connected to the yam and the minced meat will not fall off." Chu Tianyi picked up the water he had drunk and drank it, "Wild yam is warm, and eating it has a certain conditioning effect on the waist, legs, bones and joints, and internal organs, you can eat more." ”
"Hmm." Lei Ze picked up another piece and nibbled on it, it did smell meaty.
The two people sitting opposite each other swallowed their saliva, Chu Tianyi smiled, took out a piece of yam meatloaf from his bag and handed it to Lei Ce, and glanced at him.
Lei Ce nodded and handed them the yam patty, "If you two don't dislike it, you can also try the cake made by my daughter-in-law, everyone will eat it deliciously." ”
"No, no, you eat, you eat." The two waved their hands again and again, and they were useless, which is also the characteristic of people in this era.
