Chapter 59 [059] Your Name

"how old are you?"

"……Thirteen."

"What grade?"

"First grade."

"Where is your home?"

"...white water."

On the endless plain, the train dragged its long body and struggled towards the end of the track that blended into the sky, making regular "boom" and "boom" sounds.

Inside the carriage, Li Wanyi was chatting with the little girl. After hearing her answer, she was a little confused. She turned to look at Li Miaoyu. Li Miaoyu obviously didn't know this place, so she turned to look at Wei Qingfan.

Wei Qingfan felt depended on, coughed, and asked the little girl, "Where is Baishui?"

The old man behind said: "WN City Baishui County."

Wei Qingfan thought for a while and confirmed that he had never heard of this place before, so he showed a polite but slightly embarrassed smile.

It was rare for the old man to take the initiative to speak, and continued: "In the Battle of Yongfeng in 48, the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army was with us."

The two girls didn't know how to answer the conversation at all, Wei Qingfan thought for a while and said, "Did you fight Hu Zongnan during the Huaihai Campaign?"

"Correct!"

The old man seemed a little excited, but he restrained his emotions and tried not to show off, "I also helped deliver food..."

Wei Qingfan calculated silently, 1948 years ago in 57, the old man looked to be in his 60s, so he was probably a child back then, right?
Li Wanyi glanced at him, then curiously asked the old man: "How old were you then?"

The old man obviously didn't think that they would continue to ask, he hesitated for a while before saying: "Almost ten years old..."

The old woman next to him said: "I went with the adults, the whole family went, and the children also followed..."

Wei Qingfan looked at the patches on the clothes of the two old men again, but said nothing.

Li Wanyi asked, "Where are you going?"

"Jinhua."

The old woman still seemed to speak relatively fast, which should be the temper she developed in her daily life. She pointed to the little girl and said, "Her father fell down at the construction site and was hospitalized..."

Li Wanyi was taken aback for a moment, and said "Oh".

Li Wanyi pursed her lips lightly, then looked at Wei Qingfan again.

Wei Qingfan asked softly, "Is it serious?"

"do not know……"

The old woman shook her head, and looked out of the car window again, not knowing what she was looking at.

The old man said in a sigh-like tone: "It's nothing serious...the medical expenses are paid by the boss..."

"Meet a good man."

The old woman seemed to be talking to herself, with a tone of emotion and rejoicing, and also as if she was helping others to spread the glorious deeds, "The bus ticket can be reimbursed, otherwise we wouldn't dare to come... thousands of miles away..."

Li Miaoyu hesitated for a while, opened her mouth, and was about to speak when Wei Qingfan bumped her with his elbow.

She turned her head and looked at Wei Qingfan with a little puzzled eyes.

Wei Qingfan shook his head very slightly, and there was an obvious intention to stop in his eyes.

The girl was obviously puzzled, but in the end she chose to trust him and said nothing.

Li Wanyi noticed the interaction between the two, and after looking at Wei Qingfan for two seconds, she didn't say anything.

She seemed to be in a trance, and after a while, she lowered her head again and asked the little girl who was excited by listening to the song: "Are your grades good?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but turned to look at grandma without saying a word.

For the first time, the old woman showed a sincere smile on her old face, as if even the wrinkles had been smoothed away, and said: "It's good, I used to be number one in our village primary school, and now I'm also in the class of the junior high school in the town. Several former……"

"That's very good."

Wei Qingfan answered the conversation with a smile, and seeing the little girl looking up, he asked with a smile, "Which subject do you have the best grades in?"

The little girl thought for a while, and seemed embarrassed to say, hesitatingly said: "Mathematics."

Li Miaoyu also asked, "Then which subject do you like the most?"

"Mathematics." The little girl didn't hesitate this time.

Li Wanyi asked again: "What about the worst?"

Wei Qingfan added with a smile: "That's probably the least favorite."

The little girl put a finger on her cheek, as if she was thinking about it. She looked thinner, and her wheat-colored skin was rougher. She was not beautiful. She only had a pair of dark eyes, but she was innocent and naive. Still looks cute.

"English."

After thinking about it for three or four seconds, she finally picked out her least favorite subject.

Li Miaoyu asked softly, "Why?"

The little girl's cheeks bulged slightly, as if she was aggrieved and annoyed, "I can't learn."

"If you read more and memorize more, the vocabulary will accumulate, and your English performance will not be bad."

Li Miaoyu told her in a low voice, as if teaching some secret manual.

The little girl blinked innocently, nodded, then shook her head and said, "I'm too stupid to learn."

"It's not stupid, it's because I didn't find a good way..."

Li Miaoyu smiled and said, "Can we speak in English?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, as if hesitating, but also as if she was ignorant.

Li Miaoyu began to chat with her in English, and Li Wanyi occasionally followed up, while Wei Qingfan was watching.

It's not that he's not good at English, it's just that... uh, it's really not that good... Anyway, there's no need to cast a shadow on the little girl's heart, right...

He was boredly admiring the overflowing and precious kindness of the two girls. After a while, he looked at the time and said to Li Miao, "Do you want something to eat?"

Li Miaoyu took a look at him, his clear and pure eyes shimmered, shy and joyful, pursed the corners of his mouth, and nodded his head lightly.

Wei Qingfan stood up and took her schoolbag from the upper luggage rack. Li Miaoyu opened the schoolbag and took out a carton of milk and a bag of bread.

Then he glanced at Wei Qingfan, took out another box of milk and a bag of bread, and handed one of them to the little girl who was staring at him eagerly.

"No, no, we have, brought..."

The two old people hurriedly gave way, Li Miaoyu said with a smile: "It's okay, I won't finish eating alone, they brought everything."

The little girl has obviously become close to the two beautiful sisters. Li Miaoyu inserted the straw into the milk and handed it to her. She took it first, then looked at her grandparents timidly, and then opened her mouth to wrap the straw.

However, she quickly spat out the straw again, and then blinked at Li Miaoyu.

Li Miaoyu smiled and said, "Aren't you used to drinking?"

The little girl nodded.

Li Miaoyu said with a smile: "It's okay, you can taste it more, feel the aroma, this is delicious, you are used to it... Well, you can try it again, if you don't like it, give it to me."

She unwrapped the bread and handed it to the little girl, letting her eat a piece.

Wei Qingfan said helplessly: "He's just a baby, not a baby, you can just eat yours."

Li Miaoyu gave him a blank look, started to drink his own milk, and then took out a few pieces of chocolate from the bag, and distributed them to the little girl and the two old people.

After the two old people refused, she didn't insist, and gave Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi each a piece.

After a while, she took out several bags of jelly from her bag.

After eating, I took out a small bag of walnuts, then almonds, beef jerky, candy...

"You don't have snacks in your bag, right?" Li Wanyi couldn't help asking after being fed again.

"No, just a small bag."

Li Miaoyu was a little embarrassed, turned her schoolbag towards her, and showed her, indicating that there was only one compartment in her bag with snacks.

After eating, she put away her schoolbag, then she seemed to think of something, reached into the mezzanine and groped for a while, took out a learning machine, and said to the little girl, "It's okay to bring it, I will teach you to listen to English."

She and the little girl still wore an earphone, and began to listen to the English words and listening in it, and then began to teach the little girl how to operate and use the functions inside.

During the period, several stops were made, and it was not far from the provincial capital. After a certain flight attendant passed by and someone inquired that the next stop would be the provincial capital, Li Miaoyu whispered to the little girl who was swinging the learning machine, "Do you like it?"

The little girl raised her head and looked at her with dark eyes.

Li Miaoyu whispered: "If you like it, sister will give it to you, okay?"

The little girl froze for a moment, then shook her head quickly, stopped playing, put it back on Li Miaoyu's lap, and leaned towards Wei Qingfan at the same time, but her eyes were still uncontrollably looking at the very delicate study machine to see.

The two old people seemed to have misunderstood. They were worried that their granddaughter would break something else, so the old woman hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Miao said: "I bought this when I was in junior high school, and I don't need it now, so I gave it to her."

The two old people seemed to be frightened, and they refused quickly. Li Miaoyu explained again, but the two old people still refused, so she had to look at Wei Qingfan.

Wei Qingfan said: "It's for junior high school. We're all about to take the college entrance examination. She won't need it anymore. She keeps it. She might have to throw it away later. Don't waste it."

He finished speaking with a smile, put the learning machine into the little girl's hands, and said with a smile: "My sister has already spent the money for this thing, and it is also used up. You can use it again and study hard, which is equivalent to spending money once." Twice, you will make money this way, understand? Of course, the premise is that you have to study hard, otherwise you will not make money..."

The little girl didn't know if she understood his nonsense, but she liked it at first, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't push it back to Li Miaoyu.

"Put it up."

Li Miaoyu handed her the charger together, and the little girl put it into her slightly worn and childish schoolbag unhappily, and then took out a homework book from it.

She squatted on the ground, opened the homework book from the back, put the homework book on Li Miaoyu's lap, raised her head and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"

Li Miaoyu took the ballpoint pen with a smile and wrote her name on it.

The little girl looked at Li Wanyi again, "How about you, sister?"

Li Wanyi was a little funny and also wrote her name on it.

The little girl looked again, then turned to look at Wei Qingfan: "How about you, Uncle?"

The smile on Wei Qingfan's face froze.
