On the endless plain, the train drags its long body and strives to drive towards the end of the track that blends into the sky, making regular "bang" and "bang" sounds.
In the carriage, Li Wanyi was chatting with the little girl. After hearing her answer, she felt a little confused and turned to look at Li Miaoyu. Li Miaoyu obviously didn't know this place either, so she turned to look at Wei Qingfan.
Wei Qingfan felt supported, coughed, and asked the little girl: "Where is Baishui?"
The old man behind said: "Baishui County, WN City."
Wei Qingfan thought for a moment and confirmed that he had never heard of this place before, so he had to show a polite but slightly embarrassed smile.
The old man rarely took the initiative to speak and continued: "In the Yongfeng Campaign in 1948, the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army was with us."
The two girls didn't know how to answer the conversation. Wei Qingfan thought for a moment and said, "Is it the southern part of Hu Zong's attack during the Huaihai Campaign?"
"right!"
The old man seemed a little excited, but he controlled his emotions and tried not to show off, "I even helped deliver food..."
Wei Qingfan silently calculated. 1948 was 57 years ago. This old man looked to be in his sixties. He was probably still a child back then, right?
Li Wanyi glanced at him, and then curiously asked the old man: "How old were you at that time?"
The old man obviously did not expect that they would ask further questions. He hesitated before saying: "Almost ten years old..."
The old woman next to me 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 must have been a temperament developed in daily life. She pointed at the little girl and said, "Her father fell down at the construction site and was hospitalized..."
Li Wanyi was startled for a moment and said "Oh".
Li Wanyi pursed her lips slightly and looked at Wei Qingfan again.
Wei Qingfan asked softly: "Is it serious?"
"have no idea……"
The old woman shook her head and looked out the car window again, not knowing what she was looking at.
The old man said in a sigh-like tone: "It's no big deal... my boss will pay for the medical expenses..."
"I met a good person."
The old woman seemed to be talking to herself, her tone sounded like she was feeling grateful, and she seemed to be helping others spread her glorious deeds, "The ticket will be reimbursed, otherwise we wouldn't dare to come... It's 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 slightly puzzled look.
Wei Qingfan shook his head very slightly, with an obvious intention to stop him 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 said nothing.
She seemed to be in a trance. After a while, she lowered her head again and asked the little girl who was excited about listening to the song: "Are your grades good?"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and turned to look at her grandma.
For the first time, the old woman's old face showed a sincere smile, as if even the wrinkles had been smoothed, and said: "It's very good. I used to be the first in our village primary school, and now I am also the best in the class in the town's junior high school.
Several former……"
"That's very good."
Wei Qingfan answered with a smile. Seeing the little girl looking up, he smiled and asked, "Which subject do you have the best grades in?"
The little girl thought for a moment, seemed embarrassed to say it, and said hesitantly: "Mathematics."
Li Miaoyu also asked: "Which subject do you like best?"
"Mathematics." The little girl didn't hesitate this time.
Li Wanyi asked again: "What about the worst one?"
Wei Qingfan smiled and added: "That's probably the one I dislike the most."
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 rough. She was not beautiful. She only had a pair of bright, dark eyes, but she looked innocent and pure.
The childish look is still cute.
"English."
After thinking for three or four seconds, she finally selected the subject she disliked the most.
Li Miaoyu asked softly: "Why?"
The little girl's cheeks bulged slightly, as if she was a little aggrieved and annoyed, "I can't learn."
"The more you read and memorize, the more vocabulary you accumulate, and your English scores won't be bad."
Li Miaoyu told her in a low voice, as if he was imparting some secret book.
The little girl blinked innocently, nodded, then shook her head and said, "I'm too stupid to learn."
"It's not that I'm stupid, it's that I haven't found a good way..."
Li Miaoyu smiled and said, "Can we talk in English?"
The little girl blinked her eyes, as if hesitating or confused.
Li Miaoyu then started chatting with her in English, and Li Wanyi occasionally followed suit, while Wei Qingfan watched from the side.
It's not that his English is not good, it's just... well, it's just that he's not very good... Anyway, there's no need to leave a shadow on the little girl's mind, right...
He was bored and admiring the abundant and precious kindness of the two girls. After a while, he looked at the time and said to Li Miaoyu: "Do you want something to eat?"
Li Miaoyu glanced at him, her clear and pure eyes were filled with light, shy and happy, she pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
Wei Qingfan then stood up and took down her schoolbag from the luggage rack above. Li Miaoyu opened her schoolbag and took out a carton of milk and a bag of bread.
Then he glanced at Wei Qingfan, took out a carton of milk and a bag of bread, and handed one of them to the little girl who was staring eagerly.
"No, no, no, we have it, we brought it..."
The two old men quickly declined, and Li Miaoyu smiled and said: "It's okay, I won't finish the meal alone, they all took it."
The little girl had 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 timidly at her grandparents, and then opened her mouth and wrapped the straw.
However, she quickly spit 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 smiled and said: "It's okay. You can taste it more and feel the aroma. This is delicious. You are used to it... Well, try it again. If you don't like it, give it to me."
She opened the bread and handed it to the little girl, letting her eat a piece.
Wei Qingfan said helplessly: "I'm just a little kid, not a baby. Just eat what you have."
Li Miaoyu rolled her eyes at him and began to drink her own milk. Then she took out a few pieces of chocolate from her bag and distributed them to the little girl and the two old men.
After the two old men refused, she did not insist and gave Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi a piece each.
After a while, she took out several generations of jelly from her bag.
After eating, he took out a small bag of walnut kernels, then jelly, beef jerky, candies...
"Isn't your bag full of snacks?" Li Wanyi couldn't help but ask after being fed again.
"No, just a small bag."
Li Miaoyu was a little embarrassed. He turned his schoolbag towards her and showed it to her, indicating that this was the only compartment in his bag that contained snacks.
After eating, she put away her schoolbag, and then she seemed to think of something. She reached into the mezzanine and groped for a while, took out a learning machine, and said to the little girl: "Fortunately, I brought it with me. I will teach you to listen to English."
She and the little girl still wore one earphone each, and began to listen to the English words and listening skills inside, and then began to teach the little girl how to operate and use the functions inside.
During this period, we made several stops, not far from the provincial capital. After a certain flight attendant passed by and someone asked that the next stop was 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, my sister will give it to you, okay?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and stopped playing. She put it back on Li Miaoyu's lap and leaned towards Wei Qingfan, but her eyes still couldn't help but stare at the very delicate-looking study piece.
Watch on machine.
The two old men seemed to have misunderstood and were worried that their granddaughter would damage their things. The old woman hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Li Miaoyu said: "I bought this when I was in junior high school. I don't need it now, so I gave it to her."
The two old men seemed to be frightened, and they hurriedly declined. Li Miaoyu explained again, but the two old men still refused, so she had to look at Wei Qingfan.
Wei Qingfan said: "That's for junior high school. We're all going to take the college entrance examination. She won't need it if she keeps it. She'll just keep it. Maybe she'll have to throw it away later. Don't waste it."
After he finished speaking with a smile, he put the learning machine into the little girl's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, the money you spent to buy this thing has already been spent and used up. If you use it again and study hard, it will be equivalent to spending money once."
Twice, this is how you make money, do you 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 fallacy, but she liked it, so after hesitating for a while, she didn't push it back to Li Miaoyu.
"Put it away."
Li Miaoyu handed the charger to her, and the little girl put it into her slightly worn and childish schoolbag unhappily, and then took out an exercise book from it.
She squatted on the ground, opened her homework from the back, put it on Li Miaoyu's lap, raised her head and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"
Li Miaoyu smiled and took the ballpoint pen and wrote his name on it.
The little girl looked at Li Wanyi again, "Where are you, sister?"
Li Wanyi also wrote her name a little funny.
The little girl looked at it again, then turned to look at Wei Qingfan: "Uncle, where are you?"
The smile that had been on Wei Qingfan's face froze.
