Liu Jun and An Hui ate sparingly. They only ate the jars of meat sauce, scrambled eggs, and steamed buns for a day.
From the next day's lunch, the two of them bought food on the train.
"Liu Jun, we can just buy that 50 cents rice. Why do we have to buy 1.20 yuan? This money can feed our entire family for three days.”
"It's okay. Just eat it. That fifty-cent one doesn't have any oily smell at all. Look at ours. Come, I'll give you some fatty meat."
Liu Jun picked out the big fat meat from the vegetables and put it into An Hui's rice bowl.
An Hui picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed on the fat meat happily, but she still said,"There is meat, but the price difference is more than double. You can buy a pound of meat for 70 cents.”
"We have enough money, but who can afford so many meat coupons? Even if you have money, you can't buy meat.”
Liu Jun lowered his voice and said," Unless we go to the black market. But the lean meat in the black market is 1.5 yuan, and the fat is 1.8 yuan."”
" Ah, you've been to the black market?"
"Sigh, I've been there. I went to sell meat coupons. My family couldn't bear to eat meat, so they sold the meat coupons on the black market.”
"Oh, my big brother seems to have been there too. He went to the black market to exchange cloth tickets.”
"Liu Jun, are you really not eating? This fatty meat is delicious.”
"Ugh…I really don't want to eat it."
What was so good about this fatty meat? Liu Jun didn't believe it and tried a piece just now. He almost died of boredom.
Fortunately, there was a lot of lean meat in the dishes, so he could still dig it out and eat it.
The meat at this time was much more delicious than the meat in the future. Pigs were basically fed with pig grass and grain, and they basically took more than a year to grow. Some even grew for two years.
There was no variety of pig feed and no hormones to fatten the pigs.
"Then I'll eat them all. You really don't know how to enjoy them. What's so good about lean meat? Fat meat is the most delicious.”
"You eat, you eat, I'll give it to you. Don't just eat meat. Eat some vegetables too. Look at your yellow hair.”
An Hui's hair was very yellow, as if it had been dyed. Moreover, her hair was split and looked dry.
This was all caused by malnutrition.
At this time, to distinguish whether a family's living conditions were good or not, you didn't have to look at their clothes. You just had to look at their hair. As long as their hair was smooth and shiny, the food at home would definitely not be bad.
Ordinary people were basically dry and had sharp forks.
However, it was rare to see someone as exaggerated as An Hui.
One could imagine what kind of "immortal" life An Hui was living at home.
"We're done eating. We'll save the rest for the next meal. There's no need to buy vegetables for the next meal.”
An Hui closed the lunch box and put it aside.
She then put away the lunchboxes that the two of them had eaten and took them to the bathroom to wash them.
It was very boring on the train. Liu Jun and An Hui could still chat enthusiastically on the first day.
The next day, they couldn't. They had already talked about everything they could.
It was not convenient for An Hui to know about the rest of Liu Jun. The two of them could only sit there and stare at each other.
They were not like the youths in the 1960s who didn't know what it meant to go to the countryside. They still had some expectations for their future life, and they still had the ambition to change the countryside.
However, it had been ten years since the large number of people went to the countryside. Everyone already knew what was going on.
He no longer had any good expectations for going to the countryside.
It was as if they were rushing to the execution ground. The excitement of the entire carriage being able to sing and recite the selection of Mao had long disappeared.
Just like now, Liu Jun and the others were in the entire carriage, which was filled with people who were going to cut the queue in Guang Province.
However, no one was in the mood to get to know others. They were either in a daze or reading the books they had brought.
Or playing chess or poker.
It was impossible for the entire carriage to recognize each other in half an hour.
What was the use of knowing each other? Everyone knew where they would be allocated.
Everyone would only get to know the people who were assigned to the same group so that they could take care of each other in the future and not be bullied by others.
The youths already knew what the situation in the countryside was like. And the villagers already knew what kind of character Zhi Qing was. They hated each other.
"An Hui, let me teach you how to play Gomoku.”
"How do we play? You even brought travel chess?”
"No need. Gomoku only needs a book. I'll draw the chessboard on the book. Later, you draw the squares and I draw the zeros.”
………………
"Do you know how to play?"
Liu Jun asked after demonstrating the rules of Gomoku to An Hui.
"Yes, this is simple."
With Gomoku, their journey would not seem so boring.
The thirty-six-hour journey was finally over.
"An Hui, wake up. The train has arrived. We're getting off.”
"Hmm?" An Hui rubbed her eyes and said sleepily,"We're here, Bao 'an?"
"How is that possible? When we arrive in Guang City, we still have to report to the Zhiqing Office and then take the bus to Bao 'an.”
"Oh!"
"Which one is your luggage? I'll help you get it.”
"This net and the quilt over there are mine.”
