Chapter 319: On the Train
Chapter 319 On the train
There are not many people on the train from south to north. Yicheng Station is not far from the departure station, and not many sleepers are sold.
Xiang's father bought the same sleeper ticket as them, but it was not in the same carriage.
Yu Qing asked him to stay in the same carriage with them for the time being, and when they got off the train in the provincial capital, he would go back to his bed.
There happened to be only two of them in the carriage where Yu Qing and the others were staying, so it was easier for them to take care of one more Xiangfu.
On the way to the provincial capital, because we just got up in the morning, no one was sleepy as soon as we got in the car.
Yu Qing sat and chatted with Xiang's father. From the chat, she gained a deeper understanding of the Xiang family in the capital.
In fact, Xiang Yisen's family is quite complicated. His parents divorced and reorganized the family. Both parents gave birth to their own children.
He is considered a drag in any family. No wonder he hasn't gone back all these years.
However, for the sake of educational resources for her children in the future, she thinks she will consider whether to go to the capital, but she has no plans at the moment.
Unknowingly, time passes.
Xiang Yisen handed Yu Qing a glass of water and said distressedly: "After talking so much, are you tired? Come on, drink some water!"
Father Xiang picked up his enamel jar and moved it forward, staring at his son, "You bastard, you married a wife and forgot about your father. You only cared about your wife. Didn't you see that my cup was empty?"
Yu Qing suppressed her laughter and poked the man sitting next to her, "Dad is thirsty too, please get him a drink."
Xiang Yisen didn't refute, just hummed, picked up his enamel jar and poured half a cup of water into Father Xiang's cup.
Father Xiang's eyes widened, "You let me drink your saliva?"
"Would you like to drink it?" Xiang Yisen provocatively picked up his teapot and took a sip.
Xiang Fuqian stared, as if he was angry, picked up the cup and took a big sip. After finishing it, he did not forget to mutter: "Forget it, you drank my saliva when I was a child, and now I drink yours when I am old, we are even."
Already."
"Pfft!"
Yu Qing couldn't help it anymore. Even when I was a child, I drank your saliva, but do you need to say it?
Xiang Yisen had a straight face, but he couldn't do anything to the old man, so he stretched out his hand to grab his cup. Xiang's father also reacted quickly, dodged his attack, and drained all the water in the cup with a tilt of his head.
He wiped his mouth and said, "We're even!"
Yu Qing, who was caught in the middle, was in a dilemma. The father and son were fighting each other. How could she ease the situation?
She raised her wrist to look at the time and said quickly: "Ah! It's noon so soon, no wonder I feel hungry. Dad, Comrade Xiang, let's have lunch."
When Xiang Yisen heard his wife complaining that she was hungry, he still didn't remember exchanging glares with the old man. He looked away calmly and said, "If we are hungry, we will eat. Do you want to eat the buns in the box or go to the dining car?"
The buns in the lunch box were bought at a state-owned restaurant in the morning and were already cold, but it was already May, so it didn't matter if it was cold, we could handle it.
But she only had steamed bun porridge in the morning, and Yu Qing didn't want to eat steamed buns again at noon.
"Let's go to the dining car to eat. We'll save these buns for dinner."
"Okay, let's go to the dining car to eat."
At this time, Father Xiang said, "You go ahead. I'll stay and look after the luggage. When you come back, remember to fetch me a glass of boiled water."
"Dad, don't eat the buns. We'll come back later and bring you a meal." Yu Qing picked up a lunch box and asked, "What kind of food do you want to eat?"
"Any meat dishes are fine, I'm not particular about it." Xiang's father was very satisfied that his daughter-in-law was always thinking about taking care of him.
After chatting for several hours in the morning, Yu Qing felt a little unable to open her eyes after lunch, and Xiang's father was also a little tired, so they took a rest.
When I woke up again, it was already sunset.
The afterglow shines on the fast-moving train, light and shadow flow, and the interior of the carriage flickers.
"woke up?"
Yu Qing turned her head and saw Xiang Yisen sitting in front of the window with a book in his hand, looking at her tenderly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"I've been sleeping for so long, where have I been?"
"There are still two hours. After we finish dinner and rest for a while, we will almost be there." Xiang Yisen said: "Do you want to get up and move around now?"
Yu Qing sat up and looked at the bed opposite, which was already empty.
"The old man went outside to stretch his muscles in the corridor."
"Oh." Yu Qing stood up and folded the quilt, "You keep your luggage here while I go outside and wash my face."
"Well, go ahead and be careful." Xiang Yisen put the books in his bag and started to clear the table.
Yu Qing walked out of the carriage. Except for one or two people standing by the window smoking in the aisle, she did not see Xiang's father. She went to the bathroom to take care of herself. When she returned to the carriage, Xiang's father had not come back yet.
"Dad hasn't come back yet. I didn't see him outside just now."
"It's okay, I can't throw it away. Do you want to eat cold buns or go to the dining car to eat?"
Yu Qing put the toiletries back into her luggage bag, stood up and sat back at the small table, "It's better to eat some steamed buns to cushion your stomach. Grandma and grandma will definitely be waiting for us to have dinner together. I want to go home and eat with them. You
Are you hungry?"
Xiang Yisen shook his head, "I'm not hungry. It's okay to go back and eat. It just so happens that the food on the train tastes bad."
There is boiling water on the table that has been boiled in advance. Now it has cooled down and is only a little warm, just right for eating.
The two of them drank a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of warm water. One person finished two steamed buns and stopped eating.
Father Xiang slowly walked back from outside an hour later.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Have you eaten the steamed buns?"
"Well, we ate two buns." Yu Qing noticed his shiny lips and asked, "Dad, did you just go to the dining car to eat?"
Father Xiang walked to his bed and sat down on his bed, holding his hands behind his back. He picked up his cup and took a sip of water before saying: "While you are still here, help me look after my luggage. I'll go eat first. I don't know if there will be anything on the road behind."
It’s so convenient.”
"Dad, if you want to have a meal in the dining car tomorrow, just bring your valuables with you. You should be fine leaving the other luggage in the car." Hearing what he said, Yu Qing was really a little worried about him taking the car alone.
Father Xiang pointed to the oil drum under the bed and smiled helplessly, "I have to carry it with me when I go to dinner tomorrow. This is a good thing. No one will look at it in the carriage. I'm afraid someone will take advantage of it."
Yu Qing thought it was really possible, "It's not that serious."
Xiang Yisen raised his hand and pinched her cheek, and chuckled: "Qingqing, do you know that this barrel of oil is a year's supply for ordinary workers?"
"I know." Yu Qing pouted and swatted his mischievous hand away, looking at Xiang's father, "Dad, please be alert all the way."
The three of them talked and laughed, the train slowly pulled into the provincial capital station, and Xiang Yisen settled Xiang's father into his original bed.
He then turned back and picked up his luggage with Yu Qing, and walked towards the car door.
