Zhao Yazhi glanced at Lingchuan who was sitting on the folding stool in the corridor, turned to Yun Mo and said, "Would you like to bring your partner some food?"
"He is my husband."
"Are you already married?"
Yun Mo smiled, took a jelly and a piece of chocolate, stood up and gave them to Lingchuan.
Lingchuan took the things and said thank you to Zhao Yazhi.
Zhao Yazhi waved her hands repeatedly, "You're welcome, there's still more here after you finish eating."
Lingchuan nodded, said no more, turned around and continued to look out the car window.
When Yun Mo returned to the lower bunk, Zhao Yazhi pulled her and whispered, "Is your husband unhappy that I took his seat? He didn't even smile."
Yun Mo explained amusingly, "He is like this, he doesn't like to laugh, and he doesn't like to talk much."
"That's good, I thought he was angry."
As he said that, Zhao Yazhi looked at her face seriously, "Yunmo, how old are you? You're actually married."
"18 years old."
"Then you got married quite young. How did you meet your husband? I think he should be much older than you, right?"
Yun Mo subconsciously glanced in the direction of Lingchuan.
Lingchuan was wearing the heather gray woolen coat she bought, with a high-collar black woolen sweater underneath, dark trousers, and mid-top lace-up leather shoes.
This outfit makes Lingchuan look mature and steady, quite like a social business person.
"He is a few years older than me. He was introduced by his family."
"Are you also from Anshi?"
"I am from Anshi and he is from Jiangshi."
After chatting for a while, the son of the couple opposite came back. When he saw the snacks on the small table, he suddenly looked greedy.
The little boy's mother took out the jelly that Zhao Yazhi had given her before, and the little boy immediately ate it happily.
The little boy finished the three jelly pieces in a few seconds. After eating, he stared eagerly at the snacks on the small table.
Zhao Yazhi was a generous master. Seeing that the little boy was so greedy, he asked him to help himself.
The little boy reached out to take it, but his mother stopped him.
"He has tooth decay, so don't let him eat too many sweets."
Listening to the young mother's explanation, Zhao Yazhi smiled and said nothing.
The little boy's mother took out the food they had brought with them, including tea eggs, twists, and a large bag of braised chicken legs, duck wings, pig's trotters and other meat dishes. As soon as she opened the bag, a strong braised aroma suddenly wafted into the air.
, it smells very tempting.
After giving a tea egg to the little boy, the little boy's mother reciprocated by treating Yun Mo and Zhao Yazhi to eat braised vegetables.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Yun Mo took a tea egg, while Zhao Yazhi took a duck wing.
"This braised food is delicious. Did you buy it from outside?"
Hearing Zhao Yazhi's compliment, the little boy's mother smiled sheepishly, "We made it ourselves. We opened a stewed vegetable restaurant in Da County."
Da County is a county under the jurisdiction of the provincial capital.
"Then your business must be very good. It tastes so good. You can tell it's delicious just by smelling it."
"It's okay. We've been doing this for quite a while. Before getting married, my husband worked as a chef in a hotel in the provincial capital, and then he came out to do this on his own."
While chatting along the way, the sky outside the window gradually darkened.
The conductor pushed a dining cart to sell lunch boxes. Yunmo ate snacks and was not hungry at all, so she only bought one lunch box for Lingchuan.
As the last ray of light sank into the horizon, the sky turned completely dark.
At this time, the train was driving through the barren mountains and ridges, with the shadowy peaks and tree shadows constantly receding, giving it a different kind of mystery and tranquility.
After chatting all afternoon, Zhao Yazhi was also tired. He lay down on the bunk and made no sound. He probably fell asleep.
The mother opposite was also holding her little boy and lying on the lower bunk, humming an unknown tune to coax the little boy to sleep.
Yun Mo yawned and her eyelids became a little heavy.
Lingchuan squeezed her hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, if you feel sleepy, please take a nap."
"Um."
Yun Mo put a scarf on the pillow and began to take off her down jacket.
Lingchuan took out a blanket from his back on the luggage rack.
After Yun Mo lay down, Lingchuan covered her with a blanket, and then covered her with the jacket she took off on top of the blanket, fearing that it was not warm enough, so he pressed his sleeves under her body.
Yunmo closed her eyes comfortably and began to sleep.
After lying down for a while, Yun Mo opened her eyes and found the man staring at her constantly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her eyes open, Lingchuan asked quickly.
"I can not sleep."
"Is it too noisy?"
"Kind of."
Not only was it noisy, but the car was also swaying, making it feel like we were on a boat.
Lingchuan stretched out his hands to cover both sides of her cheeks, "I'll cover your ears, and you can go to sleep."
Seeing the man's serious expression, Yun Mo subconsciously closed her eyes.
She didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or the man's tight covering, but Yun Mo really felt that the noise in the carriage was not that noisy anymore. Gradually, she felt sleepy and her consciousness fell into darkness.
Yunmo woke up from the cold.
There was no air conditioning on trains in this era, so it was cold in winter and hot in summer, so we had to endure it.
I don't know what time it is, but the lights at the top of the carriage have been turned off. Only a few lights are still on in the corridor. The light is very dim, but it is enough to see clearly.
Lingchuan was sitting on the edge of her bed, his eyelids were drowsy, and because he lowered his head, his chin was slightly raised, looking a little childish.
But even when she fell asleep, his hands still covered her ears.
"Lingchuan."
Lingchuan opened his eyes and looked at her with a hint of sleepiness in his dark eyes, "Daughter-in-law, are you awake?"
"Well, it's a bit cold."
When he heard her cry out, Lingchuan immediately stood up.
"I'll get you some thicker clothes."
Yun Mo took the man's hand and stopped him from getting up, "If you warm me up, I won't feel cold anymore."
Perhaps because he didn't understand, Lingchuan looked at her blankly and said nothing.
Yun Mo moved her body inwards, leaving a small space on the outside of the berth, but enough for a man to lie down sideways.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous, Yun Mo could feel her heart pounding.
But she was very sure in her heart that Lingchuan would not reject her.
Having been together day and night for so long, she still has this understanding and confidence.
Lingchuan is not a fool. His wife has made it so obvious. If he doesn't understand, he is really a fool.
He bent down and took off his shoes, lying sideways on the space left for him by his wife, shrinking his body as much as possible to avoid squeezing her.
An action of just a few seconds felt like a century to him, and his heartbeat was so fast that it seemed it was not his own.
This was the first time that he and his wife slept together on such a narrow bed.
Before I could think of what to do next, my body suddenly felt warm, and then, a soft and exquisite body squeezed into my arms.
"It will warm you up after a squeeze."
He heard his wife whispering against his chest.
Being so close, he could feel his wife's soft body vibrating slightly when she spoke, and a pleasant fragrance penetrated directly into his nose.
