Clang! Clang!

"I said, inside, giving birth? I'm about to shit my pants. Hurry up and come out.”

"Urge, hurry my ass.”

The people outside must be anxious.

Liu Jun washed his hands and opened the door. A tall, burly teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old stood at the door. He had a fierce face and narrowed his eyes.

The young man glared at Liu Jun. Perhaps because he was too anxious, he did not say anything. The two of them parted ways.

"Liu Jun, why did you take so long?”

"I had a little diarrhea. I squatted for a long time, so my legs are a little numb.”

"Oh, hurry up and sit."

The girl who spoke was called An Hui. She was also an unlucky person who had been impersonated by her family and went to the countryside with Liu Jun.

The only difference was that An Hui was named after her brother.

Liu Jun picked up the big bag beside An Hui and placed it on the luggage rack. He then sat beside her.

At this time, there was no need to pay attention to standing and sitting tickets.

If no one was watching the seat, it would be taken by someone else at any time. If you met someone who was thin-skinned, you could still negotiate and ask them to give up the seat.

However, if you met someone thick-skinned, then you could only admit that you were unlucky.

It was a thirty-six-hour journey from Beijing to Guang City. It would be strange if his legs didn't swell.

"Liu Jun, are you hungry? I have steamed buns and scrambled eggs here.”

"Take a whiff. Is this scrambled egg fragrant? This time, my mom put two spoonfuls of oil in it. Look at the egg.”

Liu Jun was very clear about An Hui's family situation. The two of them were junior high school classmates. However, after An Hui studied for a year, her family stopped letting her study and arranged for her to pick up crushed coal at the coal station.

Picking up crushed coal was not an official job. It was not even considered a temporary job. They just handed the crushed coal they picked up back to the coal station. For every ten catties of coal, they could get eight cents.

You could also secretly take some of the coal you picked up home, but you couldn't take too much. If it wasn't much, the coal station could turn a blind eye to it.

"It's alright, but I put too much salt in it. Your mother is really calculative. She's planning to let you eat a few more meals.”

Liu Jun picked up a piece of egg and put it in his mouth. His throat was dry.

"There are ten eggs here. Eat them sparingly. You don't even need to get food on the train.”

"Are you stupid? What kind of weather is it now? These eggs will go bad if you don't finish them after two meals.”"How much money and tickets did your mom give you?" Liu Jun asked.”

"My mom said that Zhiqing gets a monthly allowance and food. They don't need to spend much money. They only gave five yuan, three industrial coupons, and food coupons…nothing.”

"There's no cloth ticket?" Liu Jun frowned.”

"No…no, my family is already nervous.”

Liu Jun took a closer look at the clothes An Hui was wearing. It was obvious that the clothes had been made smaller, and there were patches on them. However, the craftsmanship was good, so the patches could not be seen.

At this time, it was fine to wear old clothes. Throughout the year, other than a small number of cadre families, ordinary people rarely had new clothes to wear.

However, this time, they were going on a long trip, so they had to have a passable outfit to support their appearance.

Take Liu Jun for example. Although he was not loved by his parents, he had a lot of money and all kinds of bills on this trip. He even bought two new clothes.

An Hui's mother was really a little too much.

With just a bowl of scrambled eggs and a few buns, it was enough for one day. What about the remaining three days?

The five yuan was not enough to spend on the train.

No matter what era it was, the things on the train were more expensive than those sold outside.

A meal on the train would cost at least 50 cents.

However, the goods sold on the train didn't need a receipt. They only needed to pay.

"We'll destroy your scrambled eggs today. From now on, you can eat with me.”

"Okay, here you go."

Liu Jun took the bun and broke it open with his hands. The surface of the bun was black. One look and he knew that it was made of flour. This kind of bun was a little throat cutting, so he had to swallow it slowly.

Liu Jun only ate one bun and stopped eating. His throat was already hurting from the cut.

Liu Jun was a southerner. He didn't like to eat noodles, let alone this kind of steamed bun that cut his throat.

"Liu Jun, why aren't you eating?"

An Hui had already eaten two buns.

To her, this steamed bun was a good thing. It was usually hard to eat at home.

What she ate the most was sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes paired with a bowl of rice soup with only a few grains of rice was a rare delicacy for her.

Usually, it was either a sweet potato or a bowl of rice soup.

They only had to spend the first half of the month on their family's expenses. They had to plan for the second half of the month.

Moreover, An Hui had three older brothers. As a daughter who was not doted on, she could forget about eating anything good.

"You eat. I'm not too hungry. I'll eat when I'm hungry.”Liu Jun waved his hand." Look at my brain. I forgot that my mom made me a jar of meat sauce."”

Liu Jun took out a can from his green bag hanging at the side. The bottle was filled with meat sauce.

"Eat it. This is perfect for the steamed bun.”

Liu Jun opened the can, and a strong smell of meat spread out.

This fragrance made many people in the carriage swallow their saliva.
