Chapter 74: Old uncle picks you up at the station (please vote for me)
Gu Chen looked at the person sitting opposite and asked, "Why are you in a daze all the time?"
Ever since he got in the car, the man never came back to his senses.
It looks so silly and cute, I really like it.
Shen Man looked at him and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just feel a little emotional. Last time I came here by train, there were many educated youths on the train. There were so many people."
There were so few people today, and she returned to the city.
Although he is not returning to the capital, he doesn't have to farm anymore. In fact, Shen Man doesn't care where he is, whether he is farming or working, the methods of survival are all different.
I have never been pretentious about farming before, and it is the same now.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "I will only visit relatives when I come back. Let's eat steamed buns first. The journey is quite long and it will take the afternoon to get there."
Hearing this, Shen Man nodded, then took the bun and started eating it.
I have to say that these days' steamed buns are really filling. You can eat the meat filling in one bite, and the taste of beef and scallions fills your mouth.
It's a bit smelly, but acceptable.
Whose beef does not have the smell of mutton? So this proves that the ingredients they use are authentic.
"Eat!" Gu Chen swallowed the bun and took a sip of hot water.
There is a supply of hot water on the train, and Shen Man also has hot water, and someone helped him get it.
Seeing him hand over the steamed bun again, Shen Man quickly waved his hand, "I don't want it anymore, I'm full."
A big bun is too substantial to eat. Besides, I drank a large glass of milk when I woke up in the morning, and now I am not hungry at all.
Gu Chen saw that she was not pretending, so he ate by himself. He ate eight meat buns in one go before stopping, and drank two glasses of hot water.
Seeing that he could eat so well, Shen Man couldn't help but feel a little envious. It was so delicious.
Today's trains are not very fast, and they stop at all stations, so Shen Man feels that time passes very slowly.
Fortunately, there are two of us, so we can talk about anything, otherwise it would be really boring to be alone.
The two of them still had steamed buns for lunch, but Gu Chen went to the restaurant in the car and bought a rice bowl and brought it back.
The shredded pork and pepper rice bowl looked very good, so I immediately pushed the rice in front of Shen Man.
"Eat, I think you won't be able to eat much from the steamed buns, so just eat rice." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he took out six steamed buns that the restaurant had helped heat.
He wants to give the best to Shen Man. This is not just about words, it must be done.
Shen Man watched him eating steamed buns and started to eat himself. While eating, he said, "I can eat anything. I'm really full in the morning."
In fact, she also knew that this was all Gu Chen's way of caring about her.
But at the end of the meal, she still didn't finish it. There were really too many vegetables and rice in this big lunch box.
I ate less than half of it without eating anything. I probably ate less than three taels of rice and some vegetables.
You can imagine how much food there is in this box, it is enough for her to eat for a whole day.
"Why do you only eat this much?" Gu Chen was really shocked by her appetite.
At home, Gu Nan has to eat four taels of rice and a large plate of vegetables for one meal.
I thought everyone was the same, but who knew Shen Man had such a small appetite.
Now it seems that Gu Nan's appetite is really big.
Shen Man replied helplessly: "I also want to eat more, but I can't eat. Look at me. I eat three meals a day without doing anything. It's good if I can eat more. I want to eat more."
Basically, if you don’t work, there will be no place to digest, and if you eat too much, you will accumulate food.
Gu Chen ate the rest of the food without changing the tableware.
This operation made Shen Man on the opposite side blush. After all, this was the first person to eat her leftovers.
I originally thought about leaving it at night and finding a place to heat it up before eating, but now it seems that there is no need to eat leftovers...
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the train slowly pulled into the station.
The train station in Jicheng is obviously larger than that in Hongqi Township, and there are also many people at the station.
Gu Chen got off the bus with Shen Man and followed the crowd to the exit.
Not long after he came out, Shen Man heard the person next to him shout: "Uncle! I'm here!"
Uncle?
Shen Man didn't hear that anyone would come to pick him up. He looked towards Gu Chen with confusion and saw a man in his forties waving.
The man is very elegant, tall and thin, a little shorter than Gu Chen.
"Uncle, why didn't you say you were coming to pick you up? If I hadn't seen you with sharp eyes, I would have passed by." Gu Chen greeted with a smile.
Then he remembered something and quickly pulled Shen Man behind him and said, "This is my partner, Shen Man, and this is my uncle."
Shen Man greeted politely: "Hello, uncle."
It was quite tense since we had never met before.
Li Jinyuan smiled and nodded, and said: "This is the person you are thinking about. She is indeed beautiful enough to make you miss her so much."
He didn't hesitate to speak, and led the two of them outside. As he walked, he said: "I didn't plan to come to pick you up before, so I didn't tell you. Aren't you free today? I came directly."
Li Jinyuan still valued his nephew very much. Compared to Gu Yuan, Gu Chen was more sophisticated and reliable in speaking and doing things.
That's why he was able to support her, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the trouble to transfer to the city and take care of his partner's affairs.
The three of them came out of the train station and took the shuttle bus.
Shen Man didn't know where he was going along the way. Seeing that they were chatting in full swing, he didn't ask.
Do you always feel like you are being sold?
Looking at the lively scene outside, she really felt like she was entering the city.
Although it is not as developed as it was in later generations, there is still a big difference between urban and rural areas.
There are a lot of cyclists on the road, and besides the cars with public brands going back and forth, there are also shuttle buses.
There are no private cars now, so people basically ride bicycles or walk.
After riding for half an hour, the three of them finally got off.
The road is very wide, and there are state-owned shops such as restaurants on the roadside.
There are also bathhouses and the like. There are many people coming in and out, and it looks very lively.
It has the feel of an old city from later generations, with too many people and dilapidated buildings.
"Xiao Man, we'll be here soon. Are you tired?" Li Jinyuan looked at the people behind him and wanted to take care of them.
Hearing this, Shen Man waved his hand and said, "I'm not tired. Gu Chen was carrying everything. I got off the car and got in the car."
I was really not tired. After riding the train for a whole day, I got off and went to the shuttle bus without even walking a few steps.
If possible, she would like to find a place to lie down for a while.
Gu Chen secretly held her little hand, but he still couldn't go too far on the street. At this time, a woman couldn't hold her waist while riding a man's bicycle.
Feeling the friction from the big hand, Shen Man pursed his lips and smiled, then quickly shook him off.
It's really naughty. There are so many people on the street and I don't know where to pay attention.
On the contrary, Gu Chen didn't realize it at all and continued to talk to Li Jinyuan. The two of them basically talked about everyday things.
Shen Man had a guess. They probably saw that he was there, so they didn't say much else.
It might be something at work, or it might be something else.
But she wasn't curious, and she didn't want to ask if she didn't tell anyone. She didn't have a secret anymore.
