Chapter 4
Jiang Yule walked over to his seat
There are already two men and one woman sitting in the six-seater seat, chatting happily.
As Jiang Yule approached, the voices of the three people gradually faded away, and their eyes were fixed on Jiang Yule, full of amazement.
But Jiang Yule didn’t care. He tiptoed to put the suitcase on the luggage rack. There were only a few clothes in the suitcase, so it didn’t feel very heavy.
After settling everything, Jiang Yule looked at the girl who was sitting alone and dressed very simply.
“Excuse me, comrade, could you please move aside? My seat is inside.”
After Jiang Yule finished speaking, the girl still looked at her eagerly. After a long time without any response, she raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
“Comrade?”
The girl was staring at Jiang Yule in a trance. “Oh my God, is this really a girl in the world? She has a beautiful and delicate appearance, a unique temperament, and even her fingers are white and pink.”
“Oh, that’s not right.” The girl suddenly came to her senses. The fairy girl seemed to be talking to me.
“Ah? What? Ah! Seat! Sorry, sorry!” The girl stood up in a panic, and the handkerchief on her lap fell to the ground without even bothering to pick it up.
Jiang Yule smiled slightly when he saw this, bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground, sat down in his seat, and then returned the handkerchief to the girl.
“Hello, my name is Jiang Yule,” Jiang Yule introduced as he handed back the handkerchief.
“Thank you, hello, my name is Li Fengxian.” Li Fengxian took the handkerchief and introduced herself hurriedly.
“Comrade Jiang Yule, is that person waving at you?” Li Fengxian said, suddenly looking behind Jiang Yule and asking
Following her line of sight, Jiang Yule looked back and saw Zhou Jiashu standing in the crowd waving at her.
Jiang Yule waved to him and shouted from the window, “Goodbye, Brother Jiashu. I’ll call you when I get there.”
“Okay, be careful,” Zhou Jiashu responded.
The train whistle sounded at the right time, carrying the educated youth who were building the motherland to all corners of the motherland.
“Brother Chuan, is that the soldier from the Zhou family? He looks familiar.” A dark-skinned man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked out the window and gossiped to the man next to him.
The man who was originally looking around looked away and looked at Zhou Jiashu outside the car. His thin lips parted slightly, and a deep and pleasant voice came out from his lips, “It’s him.”
“Yeah, I was saying he looked familiar, but wasn’t he on leave to take care of his brother? Why is he here to give someone away? And Brother Jiashu, could it be his girlfriend?”
The dark-skinned man guessed, but he didn’t notice that the man glanced at him with his cold eyes, and then returned to his usual indifference.
“Brother Chuan, what do you think?” Qi Bai asked again without getting a response.
The man frowned slightly and did not speak for a long time. His eyes stayed on Qi Bai’s face with a hint of disdain. After a long time, he said, “With Zhou Jiashu’s family background, would she let her lover go to the countryside? Why would she go to the countryside when she can solve the problem by getting married?”
“Then…what else could that be? It can’t be a girl, right? I heard Zhou Jiashu only has a cowardly brother.”
“If you have nothing to do, take a nap.” Mu Chuan was already annoyed by his own affairs. He really didn’t have the energy to think about these things. Although the girl… was really beautiful
But so what? It was just a shell, it couldn’t change anything. Thinking of the woman who had framed him, Mu Chuan’s eyes, like a cold pond, deepened and his gaze was as piercing as ice.
Seeing this, Qi Bai dared not say anything. He pulled his hat down, crossed his arms, and thought it was safer to sleep.
“Huh~” Thinking of his current situation, Mu Chuan took a long breath, forcibly suppressed the violent factor rushing out of his heart, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested, wondering what he was thinking.
The train is running on the track, and the wheels make a regular and repetitive sound that makes people drowsy.
But Jiang Yule’s side became hot again after the initial silence.
“Hello Comrade Jiang Yule, my name is Feng Yuanming”
“Hello, Comrade Jiang. My name is Lu Zhixing. Are you also one of the educated youths who went to the countryside this time?”
“Yes, the Qingshan Production Brigade under the Hongqi Commune”
“Wow, so we are together!” Li Fengxian said in surprise.
“Really? That’s good. I’ll have someone to take care of me in the future,” Jiang Yule said politely. As for surprises? Jiang Yule said there were none at all! With the experience gained on the operating table in his previous life, he had already become accustomed to facing everything calmly. Besides, there was nothing surprising about what was happening right now…
Compared to Jiang Yule’s calmness, Li Fengxian is much more active.
They kept talking about this and that, and Lu Zhixing and Feng Yuanming occasionally echoed a few words. On the contrary, Jiang Yule was looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
The weather in the capital was not good, and it was not as good as the blue sky and white clouds after the governance. Now the train was leaving the city, and the endless fields were all around. Jiang Yule’s heart also became more open.
In her previous life, she was busy running between academic forums and operating rooms all day long. She made a lot of money, but never had time to go out. Now that she thinks about it, it’s a pity. But she doesn’t regret it. Thinking about the lives she saved in her previous life, it’s all worth it.
As for this life….she still wants to be a doctor. As an excellent surgeon, she has mastered so much advanced medical knowledge. She has the responsibility and obligation to do her best to promote all that she has learned.
But everything is done to protect one’s own safety…
“Comrade Jiang, I see your family is well off, why did you go to the countryside?”
When Jiang Yule was lost in thought while gazing at the scenery outside the window, she heard Li Fengxian’s curious question. In fact, she had wanted to ask this question since she knew that Jiang Yule was also an educated youth who went to the countryside. However, it would be a bit rude to ask so directly since it was their first meeting. Now she really couldn’t hold it back any longer.
“Me? I have to go for some reason,” Jiang Yule said with a faint smile. She was not the original owner. Although she disliked the so-called eldest aunt’s family, she did not hate them so much. So she just publicized their selfishness and evil, but did nothing else.
“Is that so? But girls like you have to be careful about your safety when you go to the countryside. My neighbor’s sister came back to visit her family during the Spring Festival and said that there are old bachelors in the village who can’t find a wife and use some shameful means to bully the female educated youth.” Li Fengxian didn’t forget to look at the people around her while speaking to Jiang Yule in a low voice.
“Indeed, I have heard these rumors a lot. It is like this everywhere. If there are good people, there must be bad people. We are all in the same production team. If you need us in the future, just let us know.” Feng Yuanming listened to Li Fengxian’s words and said, with a look of disdain on his face for those things that were not worthy of being mentioned in public.
Lu Zhixing lowered his head, thinking about something.
As for these two gay men… Jiang Yule was also looking at them while chatting. Feng Yuanming had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a very likable and upright person in this era, while Lu Zhixing… was not good enough, not because of his appearance, but because he was too thoughtful…
From the moment she appeared until now, Lu Zhixing kept looking at her. His eyes mainly lingered on her watch, necklace, handbag, and small leather shoes….
You can tell what he is thinking from the look in his eyes, so when he was talking, Jiang Yule didn’t really want to pay attention to him.
The train traveled towards its destination for the whole morning. The smell of food wafted from the carriage. The summer weather was hot and stuffy, and it was a confined space. Jiang Yule was not very comfortable with the smell, so he said to Li Fengxian beside him, “Comrade Li, I’m going to the dining car to have a meal. Can you please keep an eye on my suitcase for me? I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll eat slowly, no rush.” Li Fengxian glanced at the suitcase above her head. The suitcase looked newly bought, and even if no one was watching, there would probably be no thieves who would steal it. After all, the target was too big.
“Thank you,” Jiang Yule thanked him and followed the carriage sign to find the dining car. The dining car was much cleaner and tidier than Jiang Yule had imagined. Each table was covered with a white tablecloth, and there was even a small bunch of artificial flowers on the table as decoration. The air was filled with the aroma of food.
This clean and tidy environment made Jiang Yule feel much better.
Walking inside, Jiang Yule looked at the sign hanging in the window and raised his eyebrows. No wonder there were so few people in the dining car. He bought a lot of things in the state-owned department store yesterday, so he had some understanding of the prices in this era.
The food on this dining car was not cheap in this era of food and clothing shortage, especially for the working people who could afford a steamed bun for a meal.
But Jiang Yule was not short of money. Looking at the sign that said the lunch box cost one dollar, Jiang Yule said to the waiter at the window, “Hello, comrade. I want a lunch box for one dollar.”
There were not many people in the dining car, and the waiter was drowsy. When she heard about the one-dollar lunch box, she thought that she was worried about not meeting today’s target and was hallucinating. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether it was reality or a dream.
When she subconsciously raised her head to look at the person who was speaking, her sleepy brain became even more confused.
This must be a dream. How could such a pretty girl exist in real life? Tsk tsk, my brain is really good. I can even imagine such a perfect girl…
While the waiter was thinking about all sorts of things, Jiang Yule spoke again, and while speaking he did not forget to push the money and food coupons forward.
“Comrade, please help me get a lunch box for one dollar.”
This call brought the waiter back to his trance.
“Ah, what, a real person! Then what… Comrade, give me your lunch box, I’ll get it.” The waiter was in a panic. The man who used to be arrogant now had red cheeks and didn’t know what he was saying.
Jiang Yule half guessed and half thought from those few words, and it was not difficult to guess that she must have been distracted just now. He smiled friendly and said in a soft tone, “Excuse me, do you have disposable ones? Or a new lunch box, I want to buy one.”
“You didn’t bring it?” The waiter forced himself to calm down and looked at Jiang Yule’s empty hands and asked
“Yes, it’s my first time traveling far away, and I didn’t know I had to bring my own lunch box. I’m really sorry,” Jiang Yule said apologetically. Auntie An said she would bring her some food, but the weather was hot, and Jiang Yule felt that it would be stale after carrying it for a day, so she didn’t let Auntie An prepare it.
As for the lunch box… Jiang Yule is used to the convenience of the later generations, she really ignores these things.
“Are you eating here?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yule nodded.
“Okay, I’ll get you one from the kitchen, you can use it first, and give it to me when you’re done.”
“Thank you, sister,” Jiang Yule said sweetly.
The waitress blushed when she was called “sister”. “Okay, okay, sit wherever you want. I’ll bring your lunch box to you when it’s ready.”
“Okay, thank you sister,” Jiang Yule said with a sweet smile, and under the waiter’s eager gaze, he found a seat and sat down.
Soon, the waiter came over with a tray and placed it on the table. There were two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. The amount of food was impressive! She felt that three of them were enough for her…
“Our chef here is very good at cooking, please eat more.”
“Okay, thank you,” Jiang Yule said, and then he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
“Little girl, this lunch box is for you. It’s new. It’s been lying in the kitchen and nobody has used it. I guess you can’t eat much, so put the rest in the lunch box. Come over in the evening and I’ll heat it up for you. It’s just right. I’ve already washed the lunch box, so you can use it without worry.”
“This… How can this be good?” Jiang Yule looked up at the waitress, who was smiling gently and exuding a friendly atmosphere.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, just take it quickly, I won’t be able to explain it to the leader when he comes later.” The elder sister said, pushing the lunch box towards Jiang Yule’s bag, and did not forget to look around to see if anyone came.
“Thank you, sister. My name is Jiang Yule. You can just call me Yule.”
“Okay, Yule, just call me Sister Mei.” Sister Mei smiled gently at this time, as if she was looking at her own junior.
“Sister Mei,” Jiang Yule called out sweetly.
“Okay, then you eat. Call me if you need anything.” Sister Mei saw that she seemed to be disturbing Jiang Yule’s meal by standing here, so she said a few words and left.
After Sister Mei left, Jiang Yule ate his meal in small bites, chewing it slowly and carefully, which was very pleasing to the eye.
This scene fell into the eyes of the two men who had just entered, and they couldn’t look away for a moment.
The people who came were Mu Chuan and Qi Bai
Compared to Qi Bai’s simple appreciation of beauty, Mu Chuan’s thoughts are much more complicated…
That moment of absent-mindedness should not have happened to him…
“Brother Chuan, please sit down. I’ll go buy some food.”
“Hmm.” Mu Chuan’s dark eyes moved away from Jiang Yule, and he found a seat nearby and sat down, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
“Comrade, two lunch boxes for one dollar each.” Qi Bai’s loud voice reached Jiang Yule’s ears. He continued to eat, ignoring the deafening sound.
Although the lunch box is also one dollar, Mei Jie’s attitude towards Qi Bai is not good, but it is also a normal attitude for this era and this iron rice bowl…
“Here, take the ticket. Come and get it yourself when I call you later.” Sister Mei took the money and food coupons and handed them two handwritten receipts.
“Sister, please send me off later. I want to talk to my brother about something.” Qi Bai smiled enthusiastically, but Sister Mei didn’t buy it.
