Chapter 262: Two hundred sixty-three instant noodles taste so good?_1

"Yeah, just let Pian Ran go, it’s a big city after all. She can take the kid for a walk around. Let our Tang Tang also get a glimpse of what a big city is like," Shen Cuizhi urged as well.

Having never been to a big city herself, naturally, she wanted her daughter-in-law and grandson to go and broaden their horizons.

At this moment, Ji Pianran was looking at him with pleading eyes, the light in her pupils almost begging.

"Gu He,"

Her voice was soft and sweet.

It made Gu He’s temples throb uncontrollably.

She was cooing to him!

Who could withstand that!

The words ’no way’ that were originally on his lips suddenly became impossible to utter, for he truly didn’t have the heart to see her sad.

Gu He pursed his lips and after a long hesitation said, "Alright, let’s all go together."

Seeing that Gu He had agreed, Ji Pianran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Going by himself, she truly felt uneasy.

Gu Hang sat at the table for a long time, looking at Gu He, his eyes seeming to hold a thousand words.

"When you get to a foreign place, be careful. If something happens, make sure to go to the police. And if someone steals from you, don’t chase after them. Some thieves are desperate for money and don’t care about lives, and they carry knives."

Although he also knew that his youngest son had been clever since childhood, it was a different place after all, and he was naturally worried.

Gu He knew that his father was concerned for him and just smiled.

"Dad, don’t worry, after all, that place is a big city. If it were really that chaotic, how would the people there manage to live?" he replied.

Then he looked toward Gu He, "Second Brother, can you drive?"

Of course, Gu He could drive and he quickly nodded. "Yes!"

"That’s good." After saying that, he handed over the car keys to Gu He. "I’ll have to trouble you to drive us to the train station."

Although there were airplanes these days, the tickets weren’t easy to get from Haicheng, which was two hours away by road. Unlike now, where tickets can be bought online, they had to be purchased at certain small agencies.

If they were to go by plane, they would not be able to leave until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, but if they took the train, they could buy tickets tonight and by tomorrow afternoon, the family of three would already have arrived several hours ago.

Hearing that he’d be driving, Gu He excitedly rubbed his hands together.

"Don’t worry, I guarantee I’ll get you safely to the train station!"

Although he could drive, he usually drove vans and trucks; this type of sedan was a first for him.

Gu He’s car looked so nice, even just looking at it made his hands itch to drive!

Seeing his second brother had nodded, he said goodbye to Shen Cuizhi and Gu Hang.

Ji Pianran went inside to pick up the soundly sleeping Tang Tang and the three of them then left Shen Cuizhi’s house.

As soon as they stepped out the door, Gu He couldn’t wait to sit in the driver’s seat.

To tell the truth, this little car was great, with its leather seats, calling them comfortable was an understatement.

And this steering wheel, that texture, it reeked of money.

On this rare occasion not driving, Gu He sat in the back seat with Ji Pianran.

In no time at all, they had arrived at the train station, where Gu He first got off and bought two tickets for the eleven o’clock train, then came back to the car. The three of them sat and rested for a while.

At eleven o’clock, the family of three finally entered the train station.

Back in those days, train stations didn’t require an ID check like they do in later times, just having a ticket was enough to board.

Gu He had bought two sleeper tickets, after all, it was already midnight and all you needed was a good sleep. By tomorrow morning after breakfast, they would arrive in Huacheng by ten o’clock!

After boarding the train, Ji Pianran followed closely behind Gu He, tightly holding Tang Tang as if afraid that someone would snatch him away.

Luckily, the sleeper compartment wasn’t crowded. The two of them found their seats according to the numbers. They were narrow beds covered with white sheets, facing each other with a small table in between.

Ji Pianran carefully placed Tangtang on the bed.

After tucking her in, Ji Pianran finally sat down and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, no sooner had he sat down for three seconds than his stomach suddenly let out a "gurgle."

At ten o’clock that night, he hadn’t had more than a few bites before Gu Shen’s mother called, and naturally, Ji Pianran had followed Gu Shen out.

Therefore, neither of them had eaten much.

Being hungry at this moment was to be expected.

Hearing his wife’s stomach rumble, Gu Shen looked at her with concern, "Are you hungry?"

Ji Pianran nodded, glancing over at Gu Shen’s face, "You didn’t eat much tonight either, you must be hungry too."

Gu Shen, though, didn’t feel particularly hungry, but since neither of them had eaten much that night, it was understandable.

He thought for a moment, "You wait here, I’ll go buy instant noodles!"

Hearing about instant noodles, Ji Pianran blinked. To tell the truth, she had never eaten instant noodles before.

In her childhood, due to her family’s well-off status, she never had the chance to eat instant noodles. Later on, when they were strapped for cash, a pack of instant noodles cost two yuan, and with two yuan, one could buy four jin of rice.

Seeing her innocent face, Gu Shen was momentarily taken aback.

Curious, he said, "Wife, you’ve never had instant noodles before, have you?"

In his previous life, Gu Shen had eaten his fair share of instant noodles, and he had a love-hate relationship with them. Seeing that Ji Pianran had never had them,

he felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Ji Pianran glanced at him and pouted, "What’s the big deal? That’s perfectly normal, isn’t it?"

With so many things in this world, who could guarantee they have tasted everything?

There’s nothing wrong with having never eaten instant noodles!

Gu Shen found it both helpless and amusing. He scratched his head, "Alright, alright, I’ll go buy instant noodles, you just wait here for me."

With that, he went off to find the train conductor, bought two packs of instant noodles, and even brought back two sticks of sausage.

After buying the instant noodles, he went to the hot water area to prepare them and then returned to his seat, carrying two steaming bowls of instant noodles.

As soon as he sat down, the enticing spicy aroma wafted straight into Ji Pianran’s nose. Already hungry, she found the scent irresistible.

It was truly torture, and she reached out, ready to lift the paper lid off.

Seeing this, Gu Shen hurriedly reached out to stop her, "Wait, it hasn’t soaked properly yet. Eat when it’s ready."

At his words, Ji Pianran sat back down and stared at the pack of instant noodles for a full three minutes before Gu Shen lifted the paper lid and smiled slightly at Ji Pianran, "Now you can eat."

It’s undeniable that instant noodles possess a certain magic, especially the first time one eats them—they really are delicious!

And with a sausage to go with it, it’s simply a delight.

Ji Pianran ate the instant noodles heartily, gobbling them up and even drinking all the soup!

Gu Shen was surprised to see the empty noodle container.

He blinked and after a moment asked, "Do you, want to eat a little more?"

Ji Pianran pursed her lips, with a hint of shyness lingering in her beautiful eyes, and she nodded, "Mhm."

Gu Shen: "!!!!"

Could his wife really eat so much?

Was his cooking not good enough????

He pushed the remaining half of his bowl of instant noodles towards Ji Pianran, "I’m not very hungry, you eat some more."

Hearing this, Ji Pianran picked up the fork again, lowered her head, and started eating the instant noodles bite by bite.
