Reborn in the 1970s, the cold soldier is a bit sweet

Chapter 397 Regret

"Xiao Chu, it's really you." Zhong Shengguo excitedly threw down the book in his hand and got out of bed and came to Chu Xingchen's bed.

Chu Xingchen stood up and greeted him: "Uncle Zhong, sit down."

Zhong Shengguo sat on his bed and patted the empty seat next to him: "Xiao Chu, sit down too."

Chu Xingchen sat down as he was told.

Zhong Shengguo looked at him and sighed: "I didn't expect to meet you on the train."

Chu Xingchen didn't expect to meet him: "Uncle Zhong, why are you here."

"I passed by here at work and stopped for a day to go around your village." Zhong Shengguo looked nostalgic. Although the two years of decentralization were very difficult, they were indeed a very important experience in his life.

"By the way, Xiao Chu, I also went to your house. Your father said that you left two days ago. I regretted not being able to meet you. I didn't expect that we bumped into you. This is fate."

Chu Xingchen nodded.

Zhong Shengguo continued: "Xiao Chu, where are you going?"

Chu Xingchen replied: "Lanshi."

"Yes, you joined the army over there." Zhong Shengguo patted his head: "Look at my memory, I forgot."

"We haven't seen each other for ten years..."

Zhong Shengguo asked about Chu Xingchen's current situation, and then talked about the past. Most of the time, he was talking and Chu Xingchen was listening.

Wang Xiaoxiao quickly understood the identity of the man from the conversation between the two, Zhong Tingting's father!

Listening to the two chatting, she actually felt sleepy, and soon fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was already evening, and the chat between the two people opposite was still going on.

Wang Xiaoxiao secretly sighed that this reminiscing about the past was really powerful. She moved her body, got up, put on her shoes and walked out.

Chu Xingchen asked her: "Xiaoxiao, where are you going?"

Wang Xiaoxiao stopped for a moment: "Go to the bathroom."

Chu Xingchen turned to Zhong Shengguo and said, "Uncle Zhong, I'll excuse you for now."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards Wang Xiaoxiao: "I'll go with you."

Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself."

Chu Xingchen ignored her words: "Let's go."

Wang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to let him go.

Zhong Shengguo stared blankly at the backs of the two of them. He didn't expect that Chu Xingchen was bringing a little girl with him, let alone their relationship...it looked unusual.

He thought of something and suddenly felt a headache.

Soon, Wang Xiaoxiao and Chu Xingchen came back.

Zhong Shengguo secretly looked at Wang Xiaoxiao, as if comparing something, and he joked with Chu Xingchen: "Xiao Chu, why don't you introduce me to Uncle Zhong?"

Chu Xingchen looked at Wang Xiaoxiao with tenderness in his eyes: "Uncle Zhong, this is my wife Wang Xiaoxiao."

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled politely and greeted Zhong Shengguo: "Hello, Uncle Zhong."

Zhong Shengguo nodded and praised: "The little girl looks good."

He turned to look at Chu Xingchen: "Xiao Chu, you are blessed."

Chu Xingchen and Wang Xiaoxiao both smiled.

Zhong Shengguo was no longer in the mood to reminisce about the past. He and Chu Xingchen exchanged a few words before going back to his bed to read.

Wang Xiaoxiao held her chin in boredom, staring at the setting sun outside the car window. The bed was too hard, and she felt sore and backache while sleeping, feeling weak and unable to lift her spirits.

Alas, she missed the big, comfortable and soft bed, but there were so many people on the train that she didn’t dare mess around.

Chu Xingchen heard her sigh and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head listlessly: "It's okay."

Chu Xingchen touched her head: "What do you want to have for dinner?"

"I can do that. I ate a lot at lunch and I'm not hungry yet."

"We'll go check out the dining car later."

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Chu Xingchen, how long will it take to get to Lanshi?"

"Three days and two nights."

Wang Xiaoxiao is numb, but he is still far away, so he should take his time.

At around six o'clock, the flight attendant came to check the tickets and brought the news that there was food in the dining car. Passengers who wanted to eat could bring their meal tickets to eat.

There are very few meal tickets unique to trains, so passengers basically had no reaction after hearing this.

Wang Xiaoxiao touched her pocket. Meal tickets were few to other people, but to her, they were a lot. Who told her that she had a sister-in-law who worked for the Railway Bureau? Her sister-in-law’s natal family was a municipal railway company. The head of the bureau.

Chu Xingchen also saved a few meal tickets due to work reasons. After the flight attendant checked the tickets, he took Wang Xiaoxiao to prepare for dinner. Before leaving, he invited Zhong Shengguo: "Uncle Zhong, we are going to the dining car, will you go?"

Zhong Shengguo shook his head: "Xiao Chu, you go ahead, I won't go."

He had been out for a long time this time and all the meal tickets he had brought with him had been used up.

Wang Xiaoxiao saw his difficulty, remembered what Chu Xingchen said, hesitated and said: "Uncle Zhong, let's go eat together. I still have some meal tickets. It's hard to make a train trip at ordinary times. They will expire if you don't use them." .”

Zhong Shengguo was already hungry. Hearing her say that the meal ticket was about to expire, he thought it would be a waste if he didn't use it, so he got up and went to the dining car with them.

The dining car is located between the ordinary carriage and the sleeper car. The environment inside is quite good, spacious and clean. The dining tables and chairs are arranged in an orderly manner and covered with tablecloths. There are only a few people dining at this time.

It's just that today's dishes don't match the environment, but there's nothing we can do about it. The food on the train is always relatively simple.

The staff saw them coming and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Chu Xingchen and Zhong Shengguo both mentioned the names of the dishes. Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the names of the dishes on the menu and felt confused. Shredded potatoes, cabbage vermicelli, shredded radish, and fried pork with celery. None of them were her favorite. After struggling for two seconds, she asked the work The staff replied: "One cabbage vermicelli and one steamed bun."

As for why we want steamed buns, the reason is simple. It’s convenient to take away if you can’t finish it.

After naming the dishes, Wang Xiaoxiao asked the staff: "Comrade, how much does it cost for the three of us together?"

She said and took out her wallet.

The staff quickly calculated: "A total of one yuan and eight."

Wow, it’s so cheap. It’s much cheaper than the 50 or 60 yuan for fast food on the high-speed rail in later generations. Both Wang Xiaoxiao and Chu Xingchen took out the money, but Zhong Shengguo had already taken the lead and handed over the money to the work. personnel.

He turned to the two of them and said, "Xiao Chu, Xiao Wang, I will pay the money. You have already paid for the meal, so don't compete with me."

Inside the window, the staff had already collected the money and started serving food to them.

Chu Xingchen and Wang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take their money back.

The meals are packed in aluminum lunch boxes and are quite generous.

Just as Wang Xiaoxiao was about to reach out to pick it up, Chu Xingchen stopped her: "I'll do it."

He said as he picked up his and her food.

Zhong Shengguo served the remaining portion, and he teased Chu Xingchen with a smile: "I didn't expect that you still love your wife."

At the beginning, he knew that Chu Xingchen was a good person, but this child was too dull at a young age, so when his daughter... Well, now that he saw this situation, he regretted those past events, but it was too late.

The three of them randomly found an empty seat and sat down to eat.

Chu Xingchen gave Wang Xiaoxiao the few pieces of meat in his fried pork with celery: "Eat more."

The little woman likes to eat meat, but she hates celery.

In front of outsiders, Wang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. She tugged on his sleeve secretly, originally wanting him to pay attention, but unexpectedly her hand was held by the man: "What's wrong?"

"..." Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It's okay."

Chu Xingchen whispered: "Why are your hands so cold?"

The dining car is colder than the sleeping car: "Why don't you take it back to eat."

Wang Xiaoxiao whispered: "No, just eat quickly."

Zhong Shengguo, who was sitting opposite, felt more regretful and guilty the more he looked at Chu Xingchen, so he simply buried his head in eating.
