Chapter 12 12. Arrival meat buns
Chapter 12 12. Arrival, meat buns
Lin Qingxi slept until dawn the next day. When she woke up, she was very hungry. She had not eaten for nearly fifteen hours, so she went to wash up when she woke up.
After washing up, I returned to the bed, took out the steamed buns that had already woken up, kept the hot water in the military kettle, and started eating.
Soon, Lin Yizheng and the four of them came over to eat together after washing up. Looking at Lin Qingxi who was in high spirits, Lin Qingxi and the others felt much more at ease. Yesterday really scared them.
"Auntie, are you okay? What's going on? Why are you so tired? You didn't even get up for dinner," Lin Yizheng asked curiously.
"I went to check on the people in Car No. 19 yesterday. Did you have a good rest on the car? I'm a little tired. Be careful and keep an eye on yourself," Lin Qingxi whispered to the four children.
"I understand, aunt, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters," Lin Yizheng patted his chest like an adult and said firmly.
"Okay, you have to know that although we will settle in Zhoujiatun, our lives will still not change at all. The five of us will still depend on each other, instead of living under the roof of your great-grandma's house all the time. But we will live in Zhou's house for a while, and wait until we find someone else.
If you find a suitable house, you can move out. During the time you live in the Zhou family, everyone will be more conscious, you know?"
Lin Qingxi said earnestly that she never thought she would live in Lin Yizheng's Zhou family forever, but she would live in the Zhou family for a while.
"I know, sister-in-law," Lin Yizheng and the four of them were very happy when they heard Lin Qingxi said that they would not live in the Zhou family forever. Although the whole family is home, if they could, none of them wanted to live under someone else's roof.
Today, it is best to have a home of your own.
Lin Qingxi nodded and chatted about other topics. Lin Qingxi didn't come to call her again from Car No. 16. Obviously, both adults and children were fine.
Soon it was noon. After eating the last ten steamed buns, the big baggage was much empty. I packed my things and waited for the next stop to stop and get off.
At about two o'clock, the train stopped at Qinghe City Station. There were many people getting off the train. After Lin Qingxi and the others waited for all the troops to leave, the five of them slowly got off the train with their luggage.
"Girl Xi, here..." Lin Qingxi and the other two had just gotten out of the car when they heard someone calling their names. They looked up following the voice and found out that it was their uncle Zhou Guijiang and his youngest son who borrowed the money from the village.
The bullock cart came to pick them up.
"Uncle, fifth cousin, long time no see." Looking at Zhou Guijiang and his son, Lin Qingxi called directly, and then introduced Lin Yizheng and the others, "Yizheng, please call uncle and fifth uncle."
"Hello, uncle, hello, uncle five," Lin Yizheng and the other five shouted in unison.
"Okay, okay, you guys too," Zhou Guijiang touched his head awkwardly, trying to take something out of his pocket, but found that he only had a few cents given by his wife when he went out in the morning, and nothing else.
No.
"Uncle, fifth cousin, how did you get here? How did you know we would arrive today?" Lin Qingxi asked curiously.
"We don't know either. We just came to the city a few days ago to inquire about the number of trains. Knowing that there would be one today, we borrowed a bullock cart and happened to see you on the train today," Zhou Mingyi said.
Curse your lips, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence.
"Come on, let's park the oxcart over there. Have you eaten? If not, go to the state-owned restaurant next door and buy some meat buns?" Zhou Guijiang took the large suitcase and the meat buns that Lin Qingxi was carrying.
It was a big baggage, so he asked his younger son to pick up the luggage Lin Yizheng was carrying.
Lin Qingxi secretly looked at Zhou Guijiang and his son, guessing that they hadn't had lunch and didn't know how long they had been waiting here.
"Uncle, I can just buy it myself. You can just take care of your luggage here," Lin Qingxi shook her head and trotted towards the state-owned hotel next to her.
Wherever there are food stamps for rural people, if they are asked to buy them, they will only buy one meat bun for each of them. They will definitely not buy for the two of them. It is better to buy them by themselves. Anyway, she is not short of money and tickets.
It's better to buy a few more and bring them to the rest of the Zhou family to eat.
Zhou Guijiang looked at Lin Qingxi's back hesitantly, wanting to call her out so that she wouldn't have to buy his own, but seeing the longing on his youngest son's face, he couldn't.
Lin Qingxi jogged all the way to the state-owned hotel and looked at the menu on the blackboard. Fortunately, there were beef buns and meat buns today.
"Comrade, I want 20 meat buns and 10 beef buns, how much do they cost?" Lin Qingxi took out the national food stamps and a handful of change and asked the female comrade who was less than 20 years old at the window.
"There are two kilograms of food stamps and three yuan in total. Beef buns are more expensive," the female comrade said without raising her head. She took out a cloth bag and packed twenty meat buns and ten beef buns and handed them to Lin Qingxi.
"Okay," Lin Qingxi took out three yuan and two kilograms of national food stamps and handed them over, took the bag containing the buns, and turned around to leave.
Lin Qingxi returned to Zhou Guijiang with the cloth bag, took out two beef buns and meat buns and handed them to Zhou Guijiang and his son, saying: "Uncle, fifth cousin, eat quickly! In order to pick us up, you must not have eaten at noon.
I will definitely be hungry."
"You girl, food is so expensive now. I'm not hungry, so you can eat it yourself!" Zhou Guijiang couldn't bear to let his youngest son go hungry, so he only pushed back his share. But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt hungry.
It rang.
"Pfft!" Lin Qingxi couldn't help laughing, and said while holding back her smile: "Uncle, don't be polite to me. Your mouth is not hungry, but your stomach is. Eat quickly! There is not enough left in the bag.
Yes, just leave a few back for grandpa and grandma to eat."
After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she took out a beef bun for each of Lin Yizheng and the other four, and then she also took out a beef bun and gnawed it.
Although she had just had lunch not long ago, Lin Qingxi could not help but salivate when she smelled such fragrant beef buns and ate the meat buns with relish.
Zhou Guijiang devoutly ate the meat buns in his hand, chewed them for several mouthfuls, and then swallowed them reluctantly. Looking at the eager eyes around him, Zhou Guijiang couldn't bear to let go, and quickly finished the two meat buns in his hands, and then shouted
Lin Qingxi and the others got on the bullock cart and drove towards Zhoujiatun.
Zhoujiatun is a little far away from Qinghe City. It takes three hours by bullock cart and six or seven hours on foot. When Lin Qingxi and her group returned to Zhou's house, it was already dark.
Fortunately, the Zhou family remembered Lin Qingxi and his party and waited for them before having dinner.
