Chapter 124 On the train, everything is arranged!

Lingxi's attention was attracted by Gu Si.

Foie gras, stir-fry it!
I want to eat braised ones too.

This was the fried food that Pei Yanning had brought back for Lingxi when she went out before. Seeing that Lingxi liked it, Gu Si thought of asking Pei Yu to help bring it back.

Gu Si found it funny that Lingxi had made him greedy, so he did whatever he wanted.

Do something else.

"There's still half a pig left in the ice cellar, and some cleaned offal. Let's see what else we have at home to braise and bring some with us when the time comes."

Second uncle and the others were definitely worried about Gu Si and Ling Xi going alone. If there was another person at home, they would not be able to use the space for eating.

While Lingxi and Gu Si were discussing, Pei Xuan walked to the door of the room. He wiped his face, and then walked in after removing the anxious look in his eyes.

Pei Xuan glanced at Lingxi first, and seeing that she looked very happy, he then looked at Gu Si with a smile, his expression somewhat teasing.

“You don’t have to go to the fields anymore.

Dad and my eldest brother have gone to ask for leave and get a letter of introduction for you. I think they will be back soon."

That expression was almost like asking him directly whether he was happy that he didn't have to carry manure anymore.

Lingxi suppressed the smile in her eyes and said amusedly: "Third brother, are you going with us?"

Huh?
Pei Xuan was surprised: "How did you guess that?"

"We wanted to go to Shanghai before, and my father and second brother said it would be more convenient to ask our family members to go with us.

Minghui has been very close to his elder brother since the Chinese New Year, and his elder brother can't leave him."

Of course, the most important thing is that they are going out to play. Can my eldest cousin's wife let my eldest brother delay earning work points so that he can go out to play with them? !

Lingxi continued: "My second brother only has two or three days off, and we will be on the road for at least two days, so he won't be able to make it in time!

Second uncle...

I don’t know!

But the village is busy, so Uncle probably can't leave!"

Pei Xuan: “…”

“Really…

I am the one who follows you.”

In fact, his father really wanted to go, but because he had to hide it from Lingxi, he just made the excuse that he was going to the capital to get away from the crowd. Then, as the head of the family, it would be more appropriate for Second Uncle Pei to go than for Pei Xuan, the younger son who was not that old.

Gu Si smiled and changed the subject to prevent Lingxi from thinking too much: "That's perfect, we plan to bring some braised meat, as well as some of the sausages and smoked bacon we made a while ago. It may be a lot to bring.

If you come along, you can help me share the luggage."

“We discussed it.

It's not convenient for you to carry things while protecting Ling Xier. If we follow you, there will be one more person to take turns to watch over you at night."

You can never be too careful.

It's still very unsafe to travel on trains these days.

Pei Yu borrowed a car and when he came back, the whole yard was filled with the smell of meat.

Minghui's face was covered in oil as he gnawed on a chicken leg, while Pei Xuan was frying slices of steamed bread.

Gu Si was cutting the braised meat and placing it neatly in an aluminum lunch box, with another covered stack of meat next to it.

This is for eating on the train.

As for the other luggage——

There were two large jars of braised food in Lingxi's bracelet, including two braised pig heads.

The only things left outside were a pig's head, less than ten pounds of braised pork belly, and braised chicken and duck, which were put into a tin bucket, sealed on top, and frozen in an ice cellar.

Then, the iron barrel was wrapped with a layer of blanket and put into the backpack together. The total weight was less than 50 kilograms.

Pei Xuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has solid basic skills, so lifting two or three hundred pounds is easy for him.

With this weight on his shoulders, it was like a piece of cake for him.

He added another package for his own things without much extra effort.

Lingxi and Gu Si had space. On the surface, Lingxi was carrying a crossbody bag, but in fact, there was nothing in it, it was just for her to take things out as a cover.

Gu Si was only carrying a package containing their own things and a net bag containing food for the train.

Nothing else.
-
Pei Yu had a car, so they set off after dinner. When they arrived at the county town, it was just after ten o'clock, and there were still at least four hours before the train arrived.

In those days, it was common for trains to be delayed. Pei Yu knew everyone there, so he took them directly to a guesthouse near the train station.

Let them take a nap first, and then wait for the train when the time is almost up.

However, just as Lingxi and his companions arrived at the train station and Pei Yu had not yet found his acquaintance, a man claiming to be the deputy stationmaster came over and asked if they were Comrade Pei Lingxi and his family, and said that a sleeper car had been arranged for them.

Gu Si Lingxi: "..."

Pei Yu Pei Xuan: "..."

Several people looked at each other.

The man even personally escorted them to the train.

The sleeping room arranged by the other party was not spacious, but because the place was not large, only two bunk beds were placed side by side, with a small square table in the middle.

Seeing Pei Yu's shocked expression, Gu Si knew that this was not the one he had found before. He pulled Pei Yu and gave him a wink, then he escorted the somewhat confused Lingxi to a lower bunk and placed her there.

Pei Yu came back to his senses and quickly shook hands with the other person.

“Thank you so much.

To be honest, we really didn't expect your sudden appearance.

We were just wondering how to get there. My sister is feeling uncomfortable riding in a car. Can you help us solve this problem?"

It was obvious that someone had greeted me.

But Pei Yu should still thank him.

They are also very polite.

The county town station was a passing station and the train only stopped for three minutes, so they couldn't stay longer.

Pei Yu gave Gu Si and Pei Xuan some instructions before getting off the train.

I was thinking about sending out the two braised chickens that were still in the car later.

Isn't that how relationships develop?

It will be easier to buy tickets next time.

As for the one he had found before, just tell him later and then treat him to a meal at the state-owned restaurant tomorrow.

Pei Yu has always been very thoughtful about matters like this.

After Gu Si and Pei Xuan had arranged their luggage, the conductor came over specially and asked them if they needed anything. He also assured them that no one else would live in this sleeper room.

While he was speaking, he glanced at the sleepy Lingxi several times without showing any emotion.

It's obvious who this is directed at. It's obvious.

Lingxi was in a daze. Pei Xuan got a signal from Gu Si, took a bag of dried meat and stuffed it into the steward's arms, smiling: "There are homemade food in it. You all have worked hard, share it. We still have more than a day to go. I'm sorry to bother you all along the way."

Gu Si also said, "Take it."

The conductor then took it and felt relieved.

However, until I left the berth, I was still a little puzzled. I didn't understand where the pressure I just felt when facing my superiors and leaders came from.

When the train whistle sounded, Lingxi, who was still in a daze, was awakened a little and asked slowly, "Did Dad arrange this?
When did you call him?"

They were going to the capital to find Pei Yanning, and there was obviously someone arranged in the car at this moment. Lingxi subconsciously thought it was Pei Yanning.

Gu Si and Pei Xuan held their breath for a moment and looked at each other secretly.

Lingxi turned over and asked in confusion: "Did Second Brother take a taxi when he borrowed the car?"

It seems that only my second brother left the village.

She mumbled something and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Pei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and looked at Gu Si, and cold sweat broke out.
