He Xiaotong expected that she would stay outside for fifteen days before returning to Bingang, while He Jianmin would wait until he returned to the capital to return to work.

Xu Changqing was a little surprised, but considering that the other party had been traveling to get married when they held their wedding a few years ago, it didn't seem strange that they waited until now to travel.

"...Xiao San'er told you that there is a place in Haishi called Huaiguojiu. There are many things there that you can buy without a ticket, right?"

Xu Changqing was looking at the paper in his hand, or the list was more correct. After hearing this, she nodded first, "Has he heard of it? Have you been there?"

"Of course. I'm already familiar with that place, even more so than the capital city. I even made a trip there the year before last, so I don't need my third aunt to lead the way, so I'll take you there to play."

"Okay." I have to say that the list made by He Sanyi and the others was very detailed, and the entrustments and money of each family were recorded on it, making it easy for everyone to understand at a glance.

However, it can also be seen from this list that the things that are entrusted to be purchased are quite diverse. Some want leather shoes, some want gauze scarves, and some want colorful quilts.

There are actually some people who want underwear among them, and there are quite a few of them. Hehe, the female relatives of the old He family are so fashionable! Seeing this, Xu Changqing didn't want to take a closer look.

After all, the aisle between the two small beds in the carriage is not wide. Shen Weimin and He Jianmin are sitting on the small bed on the lower bunk opposite. Who wants to stretch out their hands?

That would be embarrassing. Xu Changqing quickly folded the list and handed it back to He Xiaotong. He motioned for her to put it away and then replied, "I was just thinking about the unfamiliar place in my life."

"So when Xiao San'er asked me if I wanted to go together, I immediately pulled your brother-in-law out. If not for time, I would have called Sister Xiao Hui."

The little sister He Xiaotong was talking about was Shen Hui, Shen Weimin's biological eldest sister. Xu Changqing knew very well what she meant by her words. He could do it in a mess for his daughter.

"Among the sisters in our family, I get along the best with Sister Xiaohui. Unfortunately, after she got married, she went south to have children, and she didn't come back for several years.

She was originally going home at the end of last year, but unfortunately she couldn't leave for a while and didn't come back just like the year before. If you know her, you must, hey, that's not right..."

Shen Weimin, who was sitting on the small bed on the lower bunk opposite, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Did you react? My sister forgot that I grew up with Chang Qing."

He Xiaotong couldn't help but laugh too, "Don't tell me, I didn't realize it for a moment. You guys grew up together, so you are very familiar with Sister Xiaohui.

He was very disobedient at that time." He Xiaotong pointed at Shen Weimin and explained to her husband He Jianmin, "The older the child is, the more likely he is to run away from home.

How old was he? He had to go back to his hometown to go to school anyway, and no one at home could do anything about him. My aunt was busy at the time, so Sister Xiaohui had to go back and take care of him."

"That's nonsense, don't listen to her nonsense." Shen Weimin immediately defended himself, "The real situation at that time was that my grandfather fell and injured his leg.

At that time, my father had not yet changed his career, and my mother was busy with work, so I was the only one with no time at home, so my mother sent me back to my hometown to be with my grandparents, and I have stayed in my hometown ever since."

He Xiaotong touched Xu Changqing next to him with his elbow, "Do you believe it?"

"You're right."

He Xiaotong happily said, "Good sisters!"

"Brother-in-law, you should take care of your wife."

He Jianmin joked: "You should be a role model first."

Guyan

"It's over, I'm one against three, I'm going to lose."

While chatting and laughing, the light in the carriage gradually dimmed before he knew it. Xu Changqing rubbed the back of his neck and looked outside to realize that it was almost dark.

Yes, it was already late to get on the bus. Seeing that it was already dinner time, Xu Changqing suggested to have dinner first while the talkative trio's topic came to an end.

To be honest, she got up very early today, transferred from the mining area to the provincial capital and got on the train. She came down non-stop all the way, and she was a little tired.

She had eaten dinner early so she could go to bed early. Otherwise, if He Jianmin was sitting across from her, it would be hard for her to sit too casually and it would not be much better than sitting on a hard seat.

Speaking of having dinner, I was lucky this time. Unlike the last time I took the train, the entrance was crowded with people, and even the aisles between the carriages were crowded with passengers.

At that time, I saw on the train that the dining car had been difficult to push in. By the time the conductor finally pushed the dining car over, people were already rushing to grab a bite of the food inside.

Maybe this time I was riding in a hard-sleeper car. Unlike the hard-seat car where there were still passengers with standing tickets, the aisle was empty, and it didn’t take long for the conductor to push the dining car over.

A conductor in a white coat was pushing the dining car and shouting as he walked, and his voice was very loud, with a drawn-out tone, and the shouting was quite charming.

All of a sudden, the entire hard-sleeper carriage seemed to become lively, and everyone rushed to get in, as if they were not short of money, despite their hesitant expressions.

Xu Changqing found that at least 80% of the passengers in the entire carriage came out and stood in the aisle to buy lunch boxes, which made the four of them inconspicuous.

Also, not to mention that you don’t need food stamps, meat stamps and other coupons to buy box lunches on the train. You can buy them with cash. It is not easy to have a decent meal at this time.

Furthermore, it is estimated that most of the passengers who are willing to spend money to buy hard sleeper tickets, except for her and Shen Weimin, have work subsidies and are relatively willing to spend the money.

Just like He Xiaotong and his wife, they each have high wages and currently have no family burdens. Since they go out, they naturally have no worries about spending money.

Xu Changqing gossiped in his heart, and ordered a portion of greasy pork, roasted potatoes, and steaming white rice in an aluminum lunch box.

It’s just as I remembered. In the past two years, the lunch boxes on the train are not only cheap, but also very generous. Such a large lunch box only costs 30 cents.

It seems that the prices will start to increase after next year. Box lunches with pork or braised pork ribs are free of charge, but will cost 50 cents a piece.

She once ate a 50-cent box lunch once, and what happened next? It was too painful to look back on, so she didn’t want to mention it. Things have gone up in value, conditions have improved, and people’s hearts have also become bad.

Although each person is limited to one purchase, Xu Changqing would definitely not be able to finish such a large lunch box, and she did not shy away from it this time just because He Jianmin was present.

After returning to the carriage and sitting down, she directly picked out most of the food in her lunch box and put it into the aluminum lunch box she brought with her.

Then she neatly stuffed the lunch box into Shen Weimin, otherwise the weather would be too hot and she wouldn't be able to finish the rest. She couldn't just stuff it into Evergreen Garden, it would be a waste.

Shen Weimin knew that she had a small appetite, so he took the lunch box without surprise. After taking the chopsticks, he subconsciously picked the lean meat from the lunch box he had opened in front of him.

"I have it here, you can eat it yourself."
