Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Call from the Capital City

The light in the train compartment was quite good during the day, so Luo Qiao took out a medical book and began reading. The uncle in the middle bunk was packing up his things to get off the train and even smiled as he greeted Luo Qiao and the older sister in the opposite lower bunk.

The few people above had now come down to eat, and Luo Qiao cleared the space for them. The young boy politely said, "Thank you, sister."

The girl named Sister Qiqiao disdainfully said after seeing the food that was brought back, "Sister-in-law, can’t we eat something better?"

The woman replied, "When you’re away from home, this breakfast is already very good. Here, have this egg."

While saying this, the woman handed an egg to Sister Qiqiao, passed another one to the man, and then peeled one herself and handed it to her son, "Eat up."

Just as the little boy was about to eat the egg, he saw his mother picking up the bowl of porridge to drink and asked, "Mom, what about your egg?"

The woman laughed, "Mom doesn’t like eating that."

The man took a glance and muttered softly, "It’s as if someone is abusing you."

The woman said, "We didn’t bring much money with us to begin with. We took hard seats when we came, but you two insisted on buying sleeping berths for the return trip, which is definitely over budget."

Hearing this, the man fell silent. The little boy directly split his egg in half and handed it to his mother, "Mom, you eat too."

Luo Qiao, looking at the resolve in the little boy’s eyes, thought the older sister’s husband wasn’t very impressive, but the son was good. As long as he’s raised well, he certainly won’t turn out bad.

The older sister in the opposite lower bunk couldn’t stand it and spoke up, "A wife is someone you’re supposed to spend your life with, don’t be confused about that."

Having said that, she also shook her head.

The man seemed to realize something too and split his egg in half and passed it over, "You eat too, I was wrong, I’ve let you suffer."

After hearing this, the woman’s eyes turned red, "It’s okay, it’s only right that we look after Sister Qiqiao. Uncle and aunt are pretty good to us on normal days, and we can’t let the young lady suffer while traveling."

The girl named Sister Qiqiao’s face changed upon hearing this and said, "However much money you’ve spent on me, I will have my parents pay you back."

By the time it was nearing noon, a young man came down from the middle bunk, seemingly unwilling to spend the daytime up there. He merely left his luggage on the bed and stood in the aisle instead.

As the train had left the station for quite a distance, the man took out a book and began reading while seated, and the compartment quieted down.

In Ji City, Lu Yichen was frowning as he continued on a phone call.

On the other end, someone said, "Yichen, does that mean you’re not coming back for the New Year either?"

Lu Yichen replied, "Yes, I’m on duty during the New Year. I’ll come to visit you when I have time later."

"Yichen, your uncle has found an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and grandfather hopes you could come back for a visit."

Lu Yichen fell silent, then after a while, he said, "Grandfather, how is Yiting doing?"

Hearing his grandson’s question, he knew the young man wanted to avoid the topic. He sighed, "She’s doing fine, don’t worry about her. Take good care of yourself and don’t make grandfather worry."

Lu Yichen’s family was a blended one. He had an elder brother, Lu Yixuan, a younger sister, Lu Yiting, a stepmother, Geng Mingli, a stepbrother, Cui Jianhua, and a stepsister, Cui Yueyue.

Because of past events, he hadn’t been in touch with his family for a long time. Thinking of the person who had harmed him, his father’s words, and the information he had investigated...

He finally said, "Grandfather, I’ll find time to come back after the New Year."

He knew he couldn’t disrupt his previous plans, believing that those people would make a move again, and was confident a fox would eventually show its tail.

Before hanging up the phone, Lu Yichen said, "Grandfather, please take good care of Yiting for me."

On the train, everyone gradually began to have lunch. Luo Qiao went to the dining car and got a serving of egg soup and steamed buns, spreading her homemade mushroom sauce on the buns before starting to eat.

As the delicious smell spread, everyone looked over, intrigued. The young man who got on the train earlier stared at the mushroom sauce Luo Qiao had in a canning jar with shining eyes before finally speaking up, "Miss, what is that you’re eating?"

Luo Qiao smiled lightly, "It’s homemade mushroom sauce I made."

Trying his luck, the young man asked, "Could I trade something I’m eating for some of yours?"
