The little guy started to feel sleepy, so Zhao Qingsong hugged the little guy and lay down for a while.
In the evening, it’s time for dinner.
The noise in the carriage gradually became louder, including people chatting, eating, and shouting and selling things.
It was during this noise that Li Rong woke up and opened her eyes. Her mind was in a trance, and it took her a while to regain consciousness.
An An sat next to her and started to laugh when she opened her eyes.
Li Rong returned to consciousness, looking at the little guy's fair and fleshy face, her heart felt soft, and her voice was hoarse as if she had just gotten out of bed: "Baby, where is daddy?"
"Daddy is going to fetch water."
As soon as An An finished speaking, Zhao Qingsong came back.
"Are you awake?" He glanced at Li Rong softly and said, "A lot of people have been waiting in line to get water. Are you hungry? Get up and eat."
Zhao Qingsong made her a cup of malted milk, took out the pastry and steamed buns from the lunch box, and placed them on the small table.
Brown sugar steamed buns are very fragrant and make people drool just by smelling them.
Li Rong ate one, several pieces of mung bean cake, and drank malted milk, which made her stomach full.
The little guy held the steamed bun and gnawed it.
Zhao Qingsong kept watching him for fear that he would choke, and fed him water when necessary.
The family with these three children ate steamed buns with pickles.
The older child ate silently, while the two younger ones kept watching An An swallowing his saliva.
The youngest one looked to be three or four years old. He cried and said to the woman: "Mom, I want to eat steamed buns too, woo woo~"
The woman ignored him, and the child cried louder and even rolled on the ground.
The woman scolded him as a debt collector, and then said, "If you want to eat, go and ask someone for it."
Of course Zhao Qingsong couldn't give it. How much should he give to three children?
He said: "Thirty cents a piece."
The child looked at the woman longingly, but the latter's expression changed and he cursed: "Thirty cents a piece? That's half a pound of pork. Take the money and give it back to me."
She pulled the child back and stuffed a steamed bun into his hand, "Eat it if you like."
The child didn't want it and cried loudly.
Perhaps because she had become a mother, Li Rong couldn't bear to see it and thought about giving him a break, but Zhao Qingsong glared at her and told her to leave it alone.
Li Rong finally calmed down and thought.
Suddenly, a voice came from the upper bunk: "I'll give you thirty cents, give me one."
Li Rong followed the voice and looked over. It was the girl on the upper bunk who had been lying down since she got on the bus.
Zhao Qingsong glanced at Li Rong.
If this was normal, or if there was no family nearby, Li Rongbai would consider it as a sign of good deeds if he gave her one.
But it doesn't work now, they have already said what they said, and there is no telling what the woman will say in a sarcastic way.
Li Rong took a steamed bun, wrapped it in oil paper and handed it over. The girl gave Li Rong the money and said, "Thank you."
The girl looked about the same age as Li Rong. When Li Rong asked her age, she was only one year younger than Li Rong.
"Are you also an educated youth who wants to go back to the city to study?" Li Rong asked.
From the girl's conversation and her clothes, it is not difficult to tell that she is an educated youth.
The girl nodded. The steamed buns given by Li Rong were delicious, fragrant and sweet, and she became more fond of Li Rong.
She said: "I went to the countryside in 1995. I was admitted to university and ready to go back to study. My name is Shu Li. What about you? You were also admitted to university?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhao Qingsong, and she had an intuition that both of them were going to college.
Li Rong nodded: "Yes, my name is Li Rong, that is my husband Zhao Qingsong, and my son An'an. They are accompanying me to study in Chengcheng. Where are you going?"
"I'm at the finish line."
The end point is the capital.
Li Rong's eyes lit up: "Are you also studying in the capital? Which university?"
"Are you too?" The girl's attitude was obviously more enthusiastic, "I'm at Capital University of the Arts, how about you?"
Li Rong smiled: "I'm at Tsingta University."
"It's amazing." The girl's eyes were wide open, full of admiration, and she said with admiration, "I heard that in H province, only two people went to Qingbei. The first went to Peking University, and the second went to Qingdao. You are the one
Second place, right? You’re so awesome, Sister Xueba.”
The mother of the three children before listened to the two college students talking and kept silent, not daring to make any noise.
I probably went to catch up on my sleep in the afternoon. Everyone in the carriage was very energetic at night.
It was so noisy that everyone seemed to be talking loudly.
Shu Li came down from the upper bunk, sat next to Li Rong, and chatted with her.
"I didn't expect you to have a baby when you went to the countryside. He is so cute and plump." She looked at An An excitedly.
The little guy was so shy after being praised by his beautiful sister that he hid in Li Rong's arms and kept smiling.
Shu Li is considered pretty, but she is still not as good as Li Rong.
When Li Rong came through, she admired the appearance of the original owner for a long time.
Shu Li praised Li Rong several times and then asked, "Why is your skin so moist even after you gave birth? I'm in the world all day long, and the weather in H City is dry. My face is dehydrated and my skin is flaky."
"I don't have to go to the ground, I apply cream every day," Li Rong said. After so many years here, Li Rongguo felt like getting along with a little sister for the first time. In the past, there was still a generation gap with He Xing.
So whatever Shu Li asked, she would answer.
Shu Li said: "I also use cream, but it's still dry."
"By the way, the educated youth over there who were admitted to college returned home years ago. After the Chinese New Year, they waited at home and went directly to school. Why are you going back now?"
Shu Li curled her lips and said, "I'm just having a bad temper with my family. I'll go back later and make them care less about me."
Li Rong smiled and said nothing. Shu Li was probably the most pampered child in the family, and you could tell by his temperament.
Li Rong originally thought that Shu Li was quiet and reserved, but she didn't expect that she and Li Rong would chat until late at night.
In the end, it was Zhao Qingsong who interrupted their chat and urged Li Rong to go to bed early while it was quiet now.
Li Rong glanced at her watch, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Shu Li's face turned a little red, thinking that she had disturbed Li Rong's rest, and said to Li Rong, "I'm sorry for chatting with you for so long. Go to bed early. I'm going to bed too."
The little one sleeps with his father in the afternoon and with Li Rong in the evening.
Li Rong pinched his nose and carried him to her bed.
The next day, the noise in the carriage was extremely noisy early in the morning.
Shouting, talking...
Li Rong was also unable to sleep. She frowned and endured it for a long time. Finally, she took a long breath and stopped sleeping.
Although it was spring, the air was stuffy due to the confined space of the carriage.
After Li Rong woke up, she still felt a thin layer of sweat on her body, and the little hair on her forehead was wet with sweat.
Zhao Qingsong wiped the little guy's face with a towel and asked Li Rong if he wanted to wash his face.
Li Rong nodded and took the towel from his hand.
The white-flour steamed buns brought by Shu Li were not as delicious as the brown sugar steamed buns. Today she asked Li Rong if she could also buy a brown sugar steamed bun from her.
Li Rong glanced at the steamed buns in the bag and said, "I can only give you one at the end, and then it will be gone."
"The last one is fine too." Shu Li nodded fiercely.
