Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 2 Food is too precious

In later generations, Luo Cheng’s popularity with women was not good. He had acne in high school, was not as tall as he is now, and his grades were average.

Later, I went to a technical school, and my major was related to driving and repairing. Not to mention his class, there was not a single girl in this industry in the entire school. Therefore, Luo Cheng has always been eager to communicate with the opposite sex. Now, although the two girls look very average, Luo Cheng is still more enthusiastic.

The older one is called Qin Xiaoli, and the little girl is her cousin, named Qin Lan. Qin Lan’s family lives in a village near Longyang Town, so Qin Xiaoli hopes that Luo Cheng can help escort Qin Lan home. But she didn’t follow him back. She lived in the city and was married from the village before.

To be honest, Qin Xiaoli’s request made Luo Cheng a little embarrassed. The main reason was that there was no transportation these days, so he had to walk on two legs to give someone away. But men always have that damn self-esteem. Under Qin Xiaoli’s eager request, he still agreed.

The car was not full, and after waiting for a long time beyond the departure time, the car started to move. Luo Cheng didn’t know the situation and didn’t understand what exactly 1961 meant. This means driving from the city to counties and towns. If you come back, there will be fewer people taking the bus.

The fare of a few cents is something that not everyone can afford in this day and age, especially those in rural areas. That’s enough money to buy several kilograms of stick noodles.

When the car set off, Qin Xiaoli told Qin Lan a lot, the most important thing was the small backpack she was wearing. Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked her to pay attention, which also aroused Luo Cheng’s curiosity.

“Comrade Qin Lan, what is in your bag? It’s so mysterious.”

In the car, Luo Cheng was really bored. Seeing Qin Lan holding her backpack tightly in the car, he couldn’t help but ask. Of course, the special terms of this era were also added, and they were all followed by the title. The word comrade.

The question made Qin Lan instantly nervous. If Luo Cheng wasn’t wearing a military uniform and didn’t look like a bad guy, she would have taken precautions. Qin Xiaoli asked Luo Cheng for help because Luo Cheng was wearing a retired military uniform, otherwise how could such an escort be easily handed over to a stranger.

Qin Lan looked at the people in the car and saw that no one was paying attention, so she felt a little relieved about Luo Cheng. The other party is a soldier. If he wants to have evil thoughts about what he has on him, then no one can protect him. So he quietly leaned against Luo Cheng and opened a hole in his backpack.

“It’s stick noodles. My cousin helped my family.”

Stick noodles, Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up when he heard this, he reached out and took a little bit from Qin Lan’s bag and watched it in his hand. This is the legendary Bangzi Noodles. Although there were Bangzi Noodles in later generations, the Bangzi Noodles can be said to be completely different with the times.

It is very rough, with large particles, and there are many impurities in it. The color is not as thin and yellow as the stick noodles of later generations. The stick noodles of later generations were high-grade cereals, and sold more expensively than flour.

“This thing is delicious.”

Luo Cheng asked. He had never eaten this before and was very curious. Qin Lan naturally nodded seriously. This is life-saving food. How could the food not be delicious?

It’s a two-hour drive. In later generations, this distance would only take about an hour at most. But in this era, the car itself is one thing, and the road is difficult to walk on, too.

The car stopped at an intersection on a dirt road. Luo Cheng and four or five other passengers got out of the car. This intersection actually leads to several places. Except for Luo Cheng and Qin Lan, there is no one else going to Longyang Town.

There was no mobile phone or watch to tell the time, but Luo Cheng was hungry. When he got off the train, it was actually almost ten o’clock in the morning. There was a wall clock at the train station. Calculating the time, it must have been past twelve o’clock.

Fortunately, the season has also changed. Originally, the season at the time of Luo Cheng in later generations was late May, which was the school graduation time. But now it has changed directly to autumn, and it has become November, the retirement season. This is very good for Luo Cheng. If it were the previous season, he would be carrying something under the quilt at noon. It would be summer and people would be extremely hot.

But in November, it is also relatively hot at noon. He was hot and hungry. Not long after he got off the car, Luo Cheng couldn’t stand it anymore. New sign-ins can only be obtained at 12 o’clock in the evening, and there is no food in the system at all. There is no shortage of drink, and there is still water in his kettle.

I’m hungry, so I can’t eat melon seeds. A packet of peanuts is good, I hope they are spiced. Or the salty, creamy and sweet Luo Cheng is not used to it. The other thing is instant noodles. There is no hot water. If you eat them dry, I haven’t eaten like this in many years.

But no matter what, eating dry instant noodles is better than eating a bit hard steamed buns.

“Comrade Qin Lan, are you hungry? Do you have something to eat?”

Luo Cheng stopped, took a sip of water from the water bottle and asked.

The question made Qin Lan very embarrassed. There was no one who wasn’t hungry these days. She didn’t know how long it had been since she had eaten. Besides the stick noodles in her backpack, she had nothing else to eat. I had made up my mind on the way here, and at most I would not eat anything for lunch, and when I got home in the evening, I would have some stick batter.

But she agreed to escort her home, and it was okay if the other party didn’t say anything. When she did, Qin Lan really didn’t have anything for Luo Cheng to eat.

She shook her head helplessly, and Qin Lan was still looking at Luo Cheng’s kettle, so she couldn’t help but speak.

“Comrade Luo Cheng, I~I don’t have anything to eat. Can you give me a sip of your water?”

Looking carefully, Qin Lan is just very thin, a little skinny, and her skin is sallow, but she is not ugly. Luo Cheng drank from the kettle with his mouth. Luo Cheng felt a little embarrassed if he gave her another drink.

“Come on, I have a bottle of water here for you, and I have a box of noodles here. Let’s take half of it each. Eat something before we go on the road.”

Luo Cheng reached into his backpack and took out the mineral water without any label, and then took out the instant noodles. As for the steamed buns, they were too cheesy to serve to people.

Noodles, those are fine grains, right? Qin Lan shook her head hurriedly after hearing this. This unexpected encounter, letting the other party send me back to the village is already a huge kindness. How could I eat the other party’s food, and it is also fine food such as noodles.

And this water comes in a plastic bottle. This bottle is so beautiful, I’ve never seen it before. So Qin Lan didn’t even dare to drink water.

“Here, your mouth is dry. Let me turn on the water for you.”

When Luo Cheng saw Qin Lan not picking up the water, he thought she was being polite, so he took the initiative to open the water. Then the instant noodles came in buckets. After all, it was a train set meal, and the bagged ones had to have a bowl to soak them in.

The barreled noodles are still 3-5 shaped products with no date of origin or shelf life. Luo Cheng directly tore off a layer of paper cover on the noodles to package them, then took out the noodles inside and pulled them in half with his hands. There were a lot of crumbs in the halves. The noodles fell into the box, and a little bit fell onto the ground accidentally.

Qin Lan was so distressed when she saw the tiny noodle particles falling on the ground that she felt it was a little difficult to breathe. How could she be so careless? That was food, grain, and refined grain.

“I’ll eat it out of a box for you, my man, just take it with your hands.”

“No~ no need, really no need, I’m not hungry~~.”

Qin Lan was a little scared. This was fine food and she really didn’t dare to take it. Although he said he wasn’t hungry, his body felt food and his stomach made a growling sound.

In the end, Luo Cheng smiled and forced it to her. Then he drank water and chewed the instant noodles in his hand.

“You can eat this noodles like this without cooking it?”

Qin Lan took the noodles and didn’t eat them immediately. She had eaten noodles before and they were delicious, but she had never eaten noodles like this.

Please save it. If you don’t want to watch it now, in case you want to watch it later.
