"I hope my sister can use this to make food for me in the future..."
So when Ning Hai came back after finishing everything, he was speechless when he saw the pan covered with dust and oil stains, carefully wrapped deep in bedding and clothes.
"...Sister, I've packed everything."
"Hmm...very well done." Ning Hai gave up. It must be stained now. It's better to take it out and wash it when we get there. "Thank you for your hard work Ping Hai. Hmm...Er Bao has worked hard too~"
Pinghai obediently accepted the reward of patting her head, and Erbao also received a hug from Dabao. The relationship between the two pairs of sisters was as good as ever.
"I booked a ticket for around 1 ., well... because it's cheaper, we can go straight to bed and save a meal. We'll leave early later to say goodbye to our grandparents."
Pinghai had no objection and said she would listen to her sister. So the two sisters said goodbye to the old people, went to the station late at night, and boarded the green train to their new life.
The train was very quiet and everyone seemed to be asleep. Only a little light was on in the aisle, allowing passengers to see things barely.
We booked sleeper berths for Ninghai and Pinghai. After all, the journey is more than a day, and it is not very convenient to stand all the time. It is the off-season for tourism anyway, and the tickets are not expensive. It is better to sleep than to stand for a whole day.
It was very boring in the car. There was no free Wi-Fi and no one they knew, so the two sisters had to try their best to sleep to reduce unnecessary physical exertion.
But she was really hungry. Ninghai was okay, as she had been hungry a lot when taking care of her sister. Pinghai was different. Even if there was not much food stored at home, her sister would make sure she had enough to eat. Today, she was so hungry that she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
惯。
The two of them slept until noon the next day. After going to the bathroom to wash up, Pinghai looked at the lunch cart that passed by every ten minutes or so and swallowed.
She smelled the smell of chicken steak, fried potatoes, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It was very fragrant and something she couldn't usually eat.
But Pinghai knew that the two of them needed to save some money. After all, they didn't know how to find anyone when they got there, and they still needed to find a place to live first, so renting expenses would be inevitable.
But even though he had prepared himself mentally, Pinghai's eyes would still unconsciously follow the passing carts, and he would become perked up when he heard the hawking sounds.
Ning Hai felt sad and amused when he saw his sister's expression. He stretched out his hand and pinched Ping Hai's cheek. After thinking for a while, he decided, "Shall we buy one later? Sister is also hungry and can't help herself."
"Hmm...really?" After hearing what Ning Hai said, Ping Hai thought that he was not the only one who was suffering, so he didn't feel so tormented.
Ning Hai looked at the innocent Ping Hai lovingly and smiled, "Really? But you have to wait another half an hour. When she is about to run out of money, she will lower the price."
"Well, Pinghai listens to your sister."
So the two sisters waited and waited for nearly an hour, and finally bought a slightly cold lunch at one-third of the original price.
Ninghai, you took a bite of egg and I took a bite of tomato, and we ate very happily and contentedly.
Chapter 246 I Changed My Mind
Ninghai and Pinghai took the train for nearly two days and only had two proper meals, both of which were discounted boxed lunches. Although they still weren't full, it was much better than going hungry.
Ning Hai didn't dare ask for too much when he borrowed the money. He only took the money for the train ticket, plus the deposit returned by the basement landlord. It's not that he couldn't afford a few boxed meals, but Ning Hai just didn't think it was necessary.
After they arrive, they will have to find an opportunity to inquire about Yixian's location and contact information. In case no one knows, the price level in big cities will be enough to make them suffer a lot, so it is better to save some emergency money.
Pinghai was very well behaved throughout the journey. He didn't run around or bark. He ate whatever he was fed. He was so easy to feed. This made Ninghai, who was eating tomatoes and rice, very proud, so he ate even more happily.
After more than a day's train journey, the two were reluctant to get off the train. After all, fried chicken was the only meat they had eaten during this period.
The big city is indeed different from their small place. There are tall buildings everywhere, and you can't see the top unless you crane your neck. There are all kinds of brightly decorated shops, and people coming and going in a hurry. These bring the sisters a lot of joy.
A strong sense of oppression.
"Sister... Pinghai doesn't like it here..."
"We can't help it. Once we have accumulated some resources and made some money, we will go back." Ning Hai gently comforted his sister who was not used to it. "After we have resources, we can do more things and we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
Ping Hai nodded, "Yes! Sister is right."
The most important thing right now is that they have to find where Yixian is. The video was shot in a snack street, but Ning Hai feels that if she uses this as a clue, she may not get any results even until next year.
Another video posted by netizens showed something that happened a year ago. Yixian was not in the video, and the girl who Ning Hai thought was a martial arts genius was the protagonist of the story.
However, I heard that the other party graduated from [Calling Tide] last year, and he probably wouldn't live in the school now. After thinking about it, Ning Hai decided to go to the gendarmerie first to inquire about the situation.
As his cell phone had no data, Ning Hai could only ask for directions while walking from the train station towards the gendarmerie. It was not until he walked into a travel agency and the other party handed Ning Hai a city tourist map that Ning Hai felt relieved.
It was afternoon and the weather was very hot. The journey from the train station to the gendarmerie took about twenty minutes, and walking was even slower. Every step outside was a torture.
Ning Hai was very glad that he was poor and had to share stockings with his sister, so he could show one leg and not feel so hot. But then he thought that if they were rich, they would just take a taxi. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to use air conditioning? So his mood changed again.
Feeling depressed.
Pinghai didn't care much about this. In fact, she was more interested in the various restaurants and shops on the street. Although they had eaten before getting off the bus at noon, the appetite of a ship girl is not as big as that of a human being, so it is normal for her to be hungry at this time.
"Sister... I'm sorry, Pinghai is hungry again..."
"Eh? What's there to be sorry about? Um... let's go get some steamed buns, shall we? Pinghai must love this the most."
Pinghai held his sister's hand tightly and nodded obediently, "Yes, I love it."
Ning Hai was very happy that her sister relied on her so much. Even though the palms of their hands were slightly sweaty, the two sisters had no intention of letting go.
The buns in big cities look more delicate than those in small places. Of course, they are also more expensive. Ning Hai felt that she was eating buns with material stuffing and couldn't taste much. She felt very sorry. Ping Hai was eating happily with puffy cheeks.
Puffy, like a little hamster.
After a simple meal to fill their stomachs, the two set out again. After enduring the ravages of sunlight, they finally arrived at the gate of the gendarmerie.
Ning Hai breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped Ping Hai's sweaty face, then helped him tidy up his bangs, and then he started to take care of his appearance.
After everything was sorted out, Ning Hai took Ping Hai into the gendarmerie to look for the relative he was not very familiar with.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Ning Hai paused, looked at the receptionist who was asking him a question, thought for a moment and said the truth, "Hello, may I ask if you have the contact information for Sister Yixian?"
"Ms. Yixian? She's been here a few times, but unfortunately, we don't have her contact information."
"What about her commander?" Ning Hai was a little anxious. She didn't expect that after coming to the scene, the answer would still be the same. "Sorry, we really have something to talk to her about..."
"Hello, this is personal privacy. According to regulations, the gendarmerie has no right to disclose other people's information. I'm very sorry."
"Ah, this..." Ning Hai suddenly didn't know what to do. Did he really have to rent a house first, and then slowly look for it like looking for a needle in a haystack?
But to be honest, she doubted whether she would have a heart attack and faint the moment she saw the rent amount.
Officer Eugen, who didn't want to miss any opportunity to slack off, came out and saw two sisters in cheongsam standing there in the hall, looking at a loss, so he walked up to them.
"What happened?"
"Ah... hello, we are here to... visit relatives and want to find where Sister Yixian is."
"Yixian?" Eugen looked at the two sisters from Donghuang thoughtfully. "Well... we captured a prisoner today. She followed her commander to the bureau to make a statement, and she has gone back now."
"Really? She's been here..." Ning Hai was very excited. "Where do they live? I really need to see them, or I might die! (referring to starvation)"
"Oh, that sounds serious." Eugen pretended to think for a while, "How about I drive you to find her? It saves you from having to go there again in this hot weather."
"Really? Thank you so much, officer!"
"It doesn't matter." Eugen waved her hand, looked at the receptionist who strictly abided by the rules and didn't agree with her decision, and sighed slightly, "Then shall we go now?"
Ning Hai nodded quickly and followed Eugen out. He took Ning Hai into the air-conditioned police car for free. The comfortable and cool air made her relax a lot. As a result, Eugen took away all the family assets without her knowing.
"So you came here to join Yixian's commander?"
"I wouldn't go to her for help." Ning Hai waved his hand. "Although she has a strong sense of justice and is a good person, and her kung fu seems to be pretty good, she is obviously still a child. It's not certain whether she can support us. I can't do this.
How sloppy. "
"I see...So you're not going there to seek refuge?"
"We just want to borrow some money and resources, we don't have any other ideas."
Eugen nodded, drove the two to Su Xin's house, knocked on the door, and it opened soon.
Pinghai, who was standing at the door a little listlessly, raised his head and sniffed with his small nose, "Sister... smells so good..."
The one who opened the door was the young commander who knew Kung Fu. Someone seemed to be eating inside. There was a large table full of dishes, and various pastries and snacks were placed on the ground next to it. The white-haired ship girl sitting in the middle was accepting the invitation with a happy look on her face.
Feeding.
"Hmm? Eugen? What's the matter? Ah... Ninghai and Pinghai?" The young commander was quite surprised to see the Donghuang sisters. He couldn't figure out why they appeared in front of his house.
Eugen didn't answer, but just looked at the dining table in the room and asked her: "Are you eating?"
The young conductor, who had learned a little about the ways of the world, answered politely, "Yes, why don't you come in and eat with us?"
Ning Hai was silent for a while after hearing this, then he held Ping Hai's hand and whispered to himself: "...I changed my mind."
"So you came from XX Town, XX County?"
Su Xin looked at the two people who were concentrating on eating and gave up the idea of continuing to ask questions. She just pushed the dishes in front of her some more to make it easier for the two hungry ship girls to pick up the food.
Pinghai took the time to say thank you obediently, then picked up another piece of pork chop for his sister Ninghai, and then continued to eat.
Ning Hai was so moved that she cried. She didn't know how long it had been since she had enjoyed such treatment, nor did she remember how long it had been since they had eaten these dishes.
There were only two sisters in the basement home. As the older sister, she naturally had to take care of her younger sister more, but her financial resources were limited, so all she could do was to let Pinghai eat as many vegetables or fruits as possible.
There was a time when she almost vomited after eating the tasteless clear soup noodles. Pinghai wanted to give her some side dishes but she refused. Now that she could eat for free without worrying about the cost, she could finally accept the kindness from her sister.
After everyone had finished their meal, they watched Ning Hai and Ping Hai eat. Their stomachs were like bottomless pits that could never be filled. Seeing that the food on the table was almost eaten up, Yixian stood up and thought about making some more.
"Sister Yi... Sister Yixian, no need, no need... I've already eaten a lot."
Yixian looked at Ning Hai, who was now a little embarrassed, and smiled gently, "Then tell me the truth, are you full?"
"Um... no... no..."
"Then I'll make some more. You don't have to be so polite. The commander won't mind." Yixian looked at Su Xin and winked at her. "Right? Commander?"
Facing Ning Hai's admiring eyes, the young commander couldn't bear it and shrank back silently, "Yes... yes, and you haven't drunk oil for a long time, you will need to replenish energy, it is normal to eat a lot."
The little commander thought for a moment and added, "Ah... but I haven't eaten enough for so long. Wouldn't it be bad for my stomach if I eat too much staple food all at once... How about cooking some porridge?"
"No, no, anything is fine." Ning Hai blushed a little and was too embarrassed to say it directly. They had been hungry for too long, and only staple food could bring a strong sense of fullness and satisfaction. Drinking porridge? How could it be compared with dry rice?
Get comfortable.
Yixian smiled and went to prepare. The others stopped staring at the two of them, which really made Ning Hai feel relieved and his appetite improved.
After eating, Eugen leaned back on the sofa to rest, holding a square pillow in his arms, letting his soft body rest on it to share the pressure on his shoulders.
Commander Su, who didn't want to see what he was lacking, turned his eyes away and continued to feed his two children with desserts and cakes.
Little Zeppelin was eating happily and smiling so happily that it was hard to imagine that she was feeling frustrated more than an hour ago because she couldn't go home for the time being.
Rutsuki ate a little and saved a little. She would go to school to play with Yuudachi tomorrow, so she planned to share the delicious food with her good friend.
Su Xin was feeding the babies, a piece here and a piece there. As she was doing so, she noticed that Ping Hai, who was sitting opposite her, had stopped at some point and was just staring at the cake in her hand without saying a word.
The little commander thought about it, and changed the direction of the hand holding the small cake. He found that Pinghai on the opposite side seemed to be attracted by a magnet and turned his head. With Erbao doing the same action above his head, he looked very cute.
Su Xin didn't tease her. She stood up and took two steps, thinking of handing the cake over. Unexpectedly, Ping Hai looked at her for a while, then sat upright on the chair and opened his mouth towards her.
"what…"
Ning Hai looked up from her bowl and was also surprised. Wasn't this the same expression Ping Hai would show when she occasionally fed him fruit? How fast did they become close to each other?!
Su Xin was also surprised for a moment, but after all she was experienced in feeding, she pushed the cake into Pinghai's mouth skillfully, and then turned around and sat on the sofa under the other's sparkling gaze.
Eugen hugged the pillow and complained: "I didn't realize you were quite good at it. Why don't you act like this when you're with me?"
"You're not a child, do you still need me to feed you?" Su Xin put on a completely different serious expression and began to seriously avoid risks. "You've finished eating, right? Aren't you going back to work?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Are you sending me away now? I brought them here to you, okay?"
The little conductor sighed, "Well, thank you, Eugen, but is it really okay that you've been out for so long?"
"Hmm? I'm helping a homeless light cruiser find relatives." Eugen slumped down on the sofa again, looking matter-of-fact. "Before the result is confirmed, of course I have to follow up responsibly..."
"...What?" Eugen stood up and hugged the pillow tightly, showing a very seductive expression, "You can't stand seeing me like this?"
The little commander turned away without answering. After Yixian brought another meal and Ninghai finished it all and burped a little, she asked, "So, do you have anything to do with Sister Yixian?"
"Actually... we saw that video online and found out that Sister Yixian was here, so we came..."
When Su Xin heard Ning Hai say this, she got a headache.
Originally, no one knew her. She went wherever she wanted and shopped however she wanted. It was all because of that Fenti. Now, most people who go online have an impression of her.
On the way back from taking the statement today, I met a lot of people who approached me, asking for photos, autographs, contact information, and even asking for relationships.
Su Xin could still barely accept taking photos, even though her little face was as tense as a marble slab.
Signature and contact information are not enough. She doesn't think she is a celebrity, and Su Xin really can't give her these things, let alone dating her.
Yixian looked at the bitter-faced commander and Ning Hai, who was frightened by his expression, and smiled, "Ning Hai, what do you want to talk to me about?"
