Chapter 9
The money totaled 250 yuan and [-] cents, and there were several food stamps and other vouchers.

Xu Min said that this was the salary that Xu Zhihui and Li Xiaoling had just paid, and that Xu Zhihui's rank was relatively high, so the salary was also high.

There is also a small note clipped here, "Sister, remember to write to me when you arrive and send it to the school." There is also an address at the back.

Susie pinched the note, and a faint warmth surged in her heart.

She carefully put away the note, took some change and food stamps and put them in her trouser pocket, put all the rest of the money into the outer pocket of her underwear, and buttoned it up.

After coming out of the toilet, Susie sat back on her seat and whispered in Tian Xiaohui's ear: "Be careful with your money, don't let anyone steal it."

Tian Xiaohui nodded, and whispered: "I put it in your pocket, it will be fine."

At around [-] o'clock at noon, the announcement sounded in the carriage: "This train has prepared a sumptuous lunch for comrade passengers. Passengers who need to eat please go to the dining car. The dining car is located in the No. [-] car in the middle of the train."

The broadcast repeated several times. Su Qian first discussed with Tian Xiaohui in a low voice, and then said to Yuan Gang: "Let's go to the dining car for dinner." Today, their luggage was all thanks to Yuan Gang for moving up and down, and she wanted to express her gratitude.

Yuan Gang waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "I won't go. I heard that there are box lunches on the train. I'll eat box lunch later."

Susie stood up, "Let's go together, we are all friends, a meal is nothing."

She felt that Yuan Gang was easy-going and willing to help, this kind of friend should be made well.

Eating and drinking is the easiest way to establish revolutionary friendship.

Tian Xiaohui had already pulled Yuan Gang up, Su Qian glanced at the boy, and asked casually, "Shall we have dinner together?"

The boy glanced at Susie, "Thank you, no."

Su Qian didn't care, and walked forward with Tian Xiaohui.

Tian Xiaohui took two steps, turned her head to the boy and said, "Well, comrade, let's go to eat, can I trouble you to look at the luggage and seats?"

The boy nodded, "Yes."

Yuan Gang was half pushed away by Tian Xiaohui, and Su Qian followed behind them. They passed through several carriages and finally arrived at the dining car.

There were still vacancies in the dining car, and a few people walked to the service counter, and Susie asked them to order.

Yuan Gang refused to order, Tian Xiaohui ordered a dry fried bream, and Su Qian ordered three more dishes and one soup.

One Kung Pao chicken, one shredded pork with Beijing sauce, one braised eggplant, one vegetable soup, and half a catty of rice,

Yuan Gang was startled, and swallowed while saying: "This, this dish is too much, how much does it cost!"

Tian Xiaohui lowered her voice: "Qiqian, I know your family's conditions are good, but you can't spend money like this. There will be more places to spend money in the countryside in the future."

Susie smiled, "It's okay, you just eat."

The salesperson made some calculations, "Four yuan and ten cents, two catties of food stamps."

Tian Xiaohui and Yuan Gang said in unison, "So expensive?"

If you eat in a restaurant, the meal is probably more than two yuan, and the price on the train is almost doubled!
Su Xi only thought it was cheap, she turned her back and rummaged through her pockets, and took out a stack of food stamps, Tian Xiaohui whispered beside her: "Use the food stamps in the capital, but they won't work when you go to Guangxi province, you can't use them if you go to Guangxi province." Keep all the national food stamps here.”

Susie gave a two-jin Beijing food stamp.

Several people handed the tickets to the window and found seats to sit down.

The seats are covered with white cloth covers, and the dining table is covered with snow-white chain-lace cloth, with a glass platen on top of the chain-lace cloth, which is clean and beautiful.

The food was served quickly, but the portions were a bit small. The three of them quickly cleaned up the four dishes and one soup. When they went out, Susie bought a few more bottles of soda, and they returned to the carriage.

Their seats were already taken by someone at this time, the boy was eating a boxed lunch, when he saw them coming back, he signaled to those who occupied the seats, "They're back, please make way."

The few people were honest, they all got up and gave up their seats when they heard the boy's words.

Susie sat down, put the soda in her hand on the table and pushed it over, and said to the boy, "This is for you, it's hot, drink some to quench your thirst."

The boy looked at the bottle of soda in everyone's hand, took a sip of the soda without any excuses.

After the boy finished his meal, he cleaned up the table, put the soda bottle and the lunch box together, then picked up an army green water bottle, got up and walked out.

Tian Xiaohui smiled at him enthusiastically: "You are going to fetch water, don't worry, we will take care of your luggage and seats for you."

The boy nodded towards Tian Xiaohui and left.

Tian Xiaohui watched the boy walk away and asked Yuan Gang, "Do you recognize him?"

Yuan Gang shook his head, "I don't know him, he should not be from our school." If such an outstanding person were in their school, he must have heard of him.

The boy left for almost half an hour before returning. Tian Xiaohui enthusiastically handed over a pear, which she bought when the train just stopped.

The young man waved his hand and refused, Tian Xiaohui didn't take it seriously, and asked curiously, "By the way, we don't know your name yet."

The boy lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, "My name is Qiao Mu."

Tian Xiaohui asked, "Is it Qiao Mu's tree?"

Susie was amused by her weird question, but Qiao Mu on the opposite side understood what Tian Xiaohui meant, "Well, yes."

Arita Xiaohui talked a lot, Qiao Mu was forced to join the group chat, and the four of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At night, Tian Xiaohui looked at the small table worriedly, "How can I sleep here, at most one person can lie on this table."

Susie patted herself on the shoulder, "You sleep next to me."

Tian Xiaohui hugged her arm, "Qi Qian, you are so kind."

Su Xi smiled. For her, Tian Xiaohui and Yuan Gang could see through at a glance. They were both very simple boys and girls, especially Tian Xiaohui was chattering like a little sparrow. Seeing her complicated heart, it was very difficult Cherish and like this simplicity very much.

She glanced at the opposite side calmly, only this Qiao Mu, although she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, seemed a little deep in her mind, and she, an old Jianghu, couldn't see it through.

The sky outside the window is getting darker.

Su Xi and Tian Xiaohui got up in turn to wash their face and brush their teeth, and when they came back, they yawned and fell asleep next to each other.

Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang leaned against the backrests and closed their eyes.

The carriage also gradually changed from noisy to quiet.

Susie woke up suddenly in the middle of the night.

The pears Tian Xiaohui bought were full of water, and she was always looking for a toilet in her dreams.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Susie saw a thin young man bending over, fumbling in Tian Xiaohui's trouser pocket.
