Chronicle of the 70s Chapter 89 - 087 Xie Family couple monthly ticket extra 150

At lunchti, Qin Zhen was still drowsy, his chubby face full of sleepiness.

Beside him, Qi Minjun smilingly said, "Mr. Li, these two boys are also your grandchildren, you are truly blessed."

Qin Xi has an outstanding appearance, with arched eyebrows and piercing eyes. Even though he was dressed simply, his entire deanor was not to be underestimated; this youth was truly extraordinary.

And that plump boy, looking naive and sowhat arrogant, but that’s how boys should be, otherwise they might get bullied when they go out.

There’s no need to ntion Xianglu. On the surface, she’s charming and cute, often speaking cleverly, but after interacting with her for a morning, Qi Minjun felt that this girl was very shrewd. She couldn’t figure out the specifics of the child’s ho despite a morning’s conversation, and hadn’t managed to find out so details about her family. She wasn’t upset, however, but very pleased. In this day and age, being cautious is not a bad thing, it would be bad if she started sharing her family matters with everyone she t.

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "No, Qin Xi and Qin Zhen are my friend’s children. I am going to Shanghai to visit an old friend, and these two kids had nothing to do, so they ca along to broaden their horizons."

Today, the cafeteria offered at dishes—pork chunks and stir-fried lamb with scallions—and vegetarian dishes—cabbage noodles stewed with tofu. One could choose between stead bread and rice.

Xianglu brought Baiji Bread, so she ordered a portion of pork chunks, a portion of stir-fried lamb with scallions, cabbage noodles stewed with tofu, and her ho-made kimchi and a large bowl of egg soup from her ho.

The prices of dishes on the train were more than double those outside, but the advantage was that at dishes didn’t require food tickets. Spending thirteen yuan on a whole table of dishes, Aunt Qi insisted on paying. Xianglu didn’t compete but smiled and said, "Then we’ll treat you tomorrow noon!"

Qi Minjun nodded approvingly at the child’s generosity.

Pork chunks are a famous dish from Jinan, made by cutting fatty pork belly into pieces the size of half a palm, then simred in a clay pot with aged soy sauce and so spices for four or five hours to achieve a rich, flavorful at that isn’t greasy and is very satisfying with rice.

Obviously, the train didn’t have ti to stew in a clay pot over low heat, likely they used a large iron pot, which makes it generally taste average, but luckily it was tender and in generous quantity. After enjoying these dishes and a soup, everyone was very happy.

After the al, Qin Zhen and Qin Xi wanted to head back and also told the old man that they would not co tomorrow. It was quite difficult for them even to reach the sleeper carriage today; it was only by Grandpa Li’s much persuasion and strict registration that they made it, which was really inconvenient.

Seeing this, Xianglu packed up another jar of pickles and the remaining Baiji Bread, and also took out a can of pear preserves to put in a cloth bag for Qin Xi to take with him.

Qin Xi smiled at the items in his hand, smiled, and rubbed Xianglu’s head saying, "Behave yourself, rember to lock the door at night."

Xianglu, unhappy, shrugged off the hand on her head and said, "I know."

After the two left, Mr. Li and Aunt Qi were tired and the three of them went to sleep, while Xianglu, fearing she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, didn’t dare to sleep and began reading outside the carriage.

Only in the afternoon did the three of them wake up. Hearing Aunt Qi’s voice in the carriage, Xianglu then pushed the door and entered. Grandpa Li also got up, leaning on the carriage wall, and asked his granddaughter with concern, "Not sleepy? Do you want to sleep a bit?"

Xianglu shook her head, climbed onto Grandpa Li’s bed pressed against the carriage, and smilingly said to Aunt Qi across from her, "Aunt Qi, did you sleep well?"

In Qi Minjun’s life, her biggest regret was not having a daughter. With four sturdy sons and her husband, there were five n in the house, which made her yearning for a daughter even stronger. Seeing the gentle girl asking if she had slept well ward her heart, and she responded with a smile, "I slept well, and you? Not sleepy?"

Upon seeing Xianglu charmingly shaking her head, she turned regretfully to Mr. Li and said, "Oh, Mr. Li, I am so envious of you. Look at your granddaughter, so well-behaved and adorable. Not like my kids at all."

Mr. Li was pleased to hear soone praise his granddaughter, but thinking of yesterday’s incident made him a bit angry. He glared at his granddaughter before addressing the couple from the Xie Family across from him, "You see her good side, but you haven’t seen when she’s naughty. Just yesterday, she even confronted a trafficker. I haven’t disciplined her yet since we’ve been on the road."

Upon hearing her grandfather ntion disciplining her, Xianglu imdiately climbed over and clung to her grandfather’s leg, pleading, "Grandpa, I won’t dare again."

Grandpa Li patted her head before reprimanding, "You won’t dare now, but what other things would you not dare to do?"

Listening to the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter, the couple across were already very curious, and Qi Minjun even more eagerly asked, "Mr. Li, what exactly happened?"

Mr. Li sighed and briefly explained the situation, then continued with anger: "This child, though seeming smart, is actually foolishly bold. In such a situation, she should have first discussed with the family before taking any action. Who knew she would be so courageous as to sche against human traffickers? Are human traffickers that easy to provoke? Those in their group are all desperados!"

Li Xianglu shrank her neck, showing a receptive appearance, but her pouted lips revealed her unhappiness.

Beside her, Qi Minjun listened and exclaid with delight, "That’s the way to do it. Won have a deeper love for children than n. The pain of having a child you carried for ten months being kidnapped is absolutely unbearable for ordinary people."

Xie Feiyang, curious, asked: "Little girl, how did you find out they were human traffickers?"

Li Xianglu’s eyes swirled around, and she said with a grin, "I figured it out. Look, you and Aunt Qi, when you two talk, you look at each other, and during als, Uncle Xie removes the fat from the at before giving it to Aunt Qi, which shows that Aunt Qi doesn’t like fatty at. Those two claid to be a couple, but they didn’t look like it at all."

Seeing the astonished looks of the two opposite her, Li Xianglu continued smiling and said: "Actually, it was also thanks to that child. When he woke up, he kept calling ’Mom’. Aunt Qi is from Guanzhong, and she should know that even city folks in our hotown call their mothers ’Mom’, so that made suspect that those two had kidnapped soone else’s child."

Xie Feiyang smiled, looked at his shocked wife, and shook his head, saying: "Mr. Li, my four sons are not as wise as your granddaughter. With such a granddaughter, you can look forward to a blessed future."

The elder loved hearing this, and imdiately smiled. In fact, Mr. Li only spoke about the general situation and did not ntion that his granddaughter had realized these people were stalling for ti. He was also puzzled as this child’s knowledge and wisdom were not what one would expect from a child who grew up in a remote rural area. However, he only wondered for a mont; the child was genuinely good-hearted towards him, and that was enough.
