MTL - After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pampered

Chapter 6 A bowl with several holes

Zhou Zhengan sat on his seat and saw Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to him, just finished peeling an egg.

 Zhou Zhengan couldn't help but smile and grabbed it.

 “Give it to me, and you peel another one!”

 Put it into your mouth in one bite.

 He wanted to try the taste of eggs.

"Old Zhou, you are not honest. It's not like you don't have any eggs. You even have to grab an egg. You can't taste it."

 After saying this, I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing.

 Hurry and embarrassed, a few people nearby also hurriedly interrupted.

“Old Zhou, what else do you want to eat? I still have pancakes and pickles here.

This pickle is mixed with chili sauce and is sour and spicy..."

After saying this, it was quiet again, mainly because everyone realized that no matter which topic was discussed, it was poking at Lao Zhou's sore spots.

 Zhou Zhengan's face darkened.

 He chewed hard.

 Wrong!

 Why is this egg tasteless again? How is it possible?

He had just tasted the wheaty aroma of the steamed buns, so why did the egg turn into chewy wax when he put it in his mouth?

 He picked up the steamed bun in the lunch box that he had taken two bites of.

Picked up the teapot and poured down half the teapot's water, and took another bite of the steamed bun.

Zhou Zhengan's expression was a little unpredictable.

Several people around him looked at his face, which turned green and red at times, and they couldn't figure out what was happening to Zhou Zhengan.

I thought they had not noticed what they just said and had hurt Zhou Zhengan.

 But usually Lao Zhou is not such a narrow-minded person.

Who knew that Zhou Zhengan put the steamed bun into his mouth and chewed it again and again, frowning.

He could definitely taste the steamed buns.

 Strong wheat aroma and light sweet aroma.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at the food in other people's hands.

what happened?

 “Brother Li, let me break a piece of cake.”

Brother Li was holding pancakes rolled with green onions in his hand, and he handed them over with a smile when he heard this.

 “I haven’t eaten yet, you have to eat and I’ll give it all to you.”

Zhou Zhengan took the pancake and took a big bite. It had no taste. It really had no taste.

Zhou Zhengan thought of everything that had just happened. Why could he taste the steamed buns but not anything else?

  Is it true that the only way to taste the steamed buns is from the dining car?

Zhou Zhengan put down the pancakes again and looked back at the hands of other comrades.

 Finally saw the steamed buns brought out with him.

He rushed over, picked up the steamed bun, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

There was disappointment in his eyes, and there was still no taste. This steamed bun had completely different feelings from the steamed bun I had eaten just now.

 “Lao Zhou, what’s wrong with you?”

Fa Xiao Jiang Yifan, who had the best relationship with him, patted his shoulder with some worry. Lao Zhou had been going crazy since he came back from smoking a cigarette just now.

“Xiao Jiang, I can’t tell you clearly, and I don’t know what to say either. Just ask me to be quiet.”

Zhou Zhengan pushed Jiang Yifan away and walked back to the carriage door.

He hammered the box with his hand a little irritably.

how so?

Everything was correct, the only thing that happened was that the girl named Xia Zhi broke off half of his buns.

 Could it be related to the summer solstice?

Zhou Zhengan stared at the scenery passing by outside the window and shook his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.

This is impossible!

 But how to explain this? The steamed buns he ate just now suddenly changed qualitatively.

 Zhou Zhengan stood here alone for several hours. One of the passengers kept getting off the train, and some conductors drove him away. Zhou Zhengan felt as if he was trapped in a mystery.

 But the feeling of being able to taste it is really addictive.

No one can bear to let him go back to that tasteless life.

Zhou Zhengan stayed there until late at night before he recovered.

 He has made up his mind.

 There was a determined look in his eyes.

He must try to see if it has something to do with that girl, is it because of the girl, or is he delusional?

 If he remembered correctly, the girl said her name was Xia Zhi, and she should have come from the car next to her.

Moreover, the girl said that she was going to support border construction, which meant that it was the terminal station of this train.

 He will definitely be able to find this girl tomorrow.

Forcing myself to return to my seat and squint for a while, I waited until it got light.

 He couldn't sleep.

 They have special treatment. They get three meals a day and can go to the dining car to get their own fixed quota of food.

Zhou Zhengan rushed to the dining car early in the morning with his lunch box.

Breakfast looked good, there was actually millet porridge, and two steamed buns were given to each person. As a luxury, they were given an egg and a plate of pickles.

 Compared with the meals they usually eat in the reclamation area, this place is like a fairyland.

Zhou Zhengan hesitated for a moment. It was not appropriate to use his own lunch box to give meals to other girls. He asked the comrade in the dining car and bought a big tea vat.

 The white teapot has the five characters "Serve the People" written on it.

To prove that he was not mistaken, he first broke off a piece of steamed bun and took a bite.

 Eggs are not easy to break, and they are not easy to give to other girls.

 But that mouthful of steamed buns was unmistakable to him. Sure enough, it no longer tasted the same as the steamed buns he had eaten yesterday.

Hold the lunch box in one hand and the teapot in the other.

Zhou Zhengan walked into the car nervously, looking around the crowd one by one, trying to find the face in his memory yesterday.

 Xia Zhi sat on his seat and pressed his belly with his hand.

Half a piece of steamed bun was indeed of no use. Now she was hungry again, but she couldn't buy anything.

 What's more important is that she hasn't drank water for a day and a night, and now her lips are so dry that they are starting to peel.

She didn’t notice the educated youths sitting across from her seat, and they looked at her more and more wrongly.

Xia Zhi didn’t care, but she was indeed short of water, and no one would agree to borrow someone else’s teapot right now.

Liu Qianjin, who was sitting next to her, didn't have a teapot either. He had a broken porcelain bowl in his hand.

The bowl has several openings on its edge.

Xia Zhi thought about it, if he asked Liu Qianjin to borrow a bowl, Liu Qianjin would definitely not refuse.

 But she was afraid that she would not be able to pass this test in her heart.

 If she remembers correctly, Liu Quanjin told her before that his broken bowl was of commemorative significance, as their rhubarb grew up with him.

 This bowl is used by Rhubarb for eating and drinking.

Later, when Dahuang died, Liu Qianjin took this bowl to commemorate Dahuang and changed the bowl for his own use.

Just thinking about it during the summer solstice makes me unable to overcome this hurdle in my heart.

While I was hesitating and tangled here, I suddenly heard a voice coming from my ear.

“Summer Solstice, I finally found you.”

Xia Zhi raised her head and met a pair of surprised eyes.

How to describe it?

That pair of eyes shines like stars in the sky.

 The eyes are secondary, the main thing is the light in the eyes.

 Finding yourself is like finding the most precious treasure in the world.
