Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 135 Good Luck

Tang Qiyue pushed Zhan Zeye away and asked him to be serious, as there was an older sister opposite who was staring at them with a pair of teasing eyes.

Although they have a marriage certificate and their relationship is legal, and they can be close to each other in public, today's society is still very conservative, and people have limited acceptance of two sexes being close to each other.

Zhan Zeye also stopped teasing Tang Qiyue. It was a rare sight to see her blushing.

"I'm going to get some food. Wake up. What do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zeye helped Tang Qiyue put the water cup away, then he became serious and regained his cold expression, so that the eldest sister on the opposite side who wanted to tease them did not dare to speak.

His aura is too strong, and even my elder sister, who is not someone who has never seen the world, can hardly handle it.

Tang Qiyue hummed: "Let's have tomato and egg noodles!"

The food you can buy on the train is limited, and you can imagine how it tastes, but the chances of making a mistake with noodles with gravy are not very high.

Zhan Zeye hummed, took out his lunch box and went to the dining car to get his meal.

At this time, the eldest sister could finally speak.

"Big sister, you are so lucky. Your partner has been looking after you since you fell asleep!"

Tang Qiyue smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "He is indeed very good at taking care of people!"

This statement seemed a bit against my will, but I was just following what my elder sister said.

The eldest sister sighed: "I am not as lucky as you. My husband is an engineer. He just reads tattered books all day long and can't even wash the dishes!"

Tang Qiyue: ...

This seems to be a characteristic of men of this era, they are very bad at housework.

The eldest sister seemed to just want to open up the topic and did not expect Tang Qiyue to respond too much. In addition, she was stimulated by Zhan Zeye's thoughtfulness, and the more she talked about her man, the more excited she became.

Tang Qiyue was afraid that her elder sister would make her angry, so she took advantage of her pause to ask, "Elder sister, are you on a business trip or visiting relatives?"

When this matter was mentioned, the elder sister finally gave up complaining about her inconsiderate engineer husband and scratched her head: "I am the purchaser of our company. Isn't it the time for autumn grain to come in soon? I have to go to the site in advance to ensure that this year's procurement task can be completed!"

Purchasing is a lucrative job. Although Tang Qiyue doesn’t know much about it, she thinks that since her elder sister, a woman, can do purchasing, she must have some real skills.

No wonder my eldest sister is so talkative, she needs to travel everywhere for her feelings.

At this time, the purchasers cannot buy grain just by paying money. You have to know that the grain production is low now, and half of it has to be paid as public grain. Each production team can only provide a limited amount of grain. If these purchasers do not have their own connections, it will be really difficult to obtain the required amount of grain.

So even though the purchasing lady is sitting in the berth and dressed decently, she is also under a lot of pressure.

Tang Qiyue couldn't help her in any way. You know, there was a shortage of food on the island. Zhan Zeye and his men had the dowry donated by Tang Qiyue, but they still relied mainly on food allocated by their superiors every time they purchased supplies.

Everyone is having a hard time.

"Comrade, haven't you heard? The Russians broke up with us this year, and all the grain in the national treasury was used to pay off debts. The people have even less food, and they have to pay more public grain!"

The comrade on the next bed heard their conversation, came over and leaned against the shelf on the other side of the aisle to interrupt.

The eldest sister was even more depressed: "That's right, our unit's requirements are low this year, as long as we can have enough food to eat, otherwise this year will be miserable!"

The man next door also sighed: "Yes, everyone is having a hard time this year. I heard that many places are in chaos. Students in schools are not attending classes and are talking about going to the countryside. I don't know what's going on!"

Tang Qiyue really didn't want to get involved in these things. She knew too well how sensitive these topics were. She just listened as more and more passengers came to talk. The passengers in the sleeper berths were all of some status, so they were more informed. In addition, they came from all corners of the world, so exchanging information was also a kind of resource sharing.

Sometimes even the conductor would come over to gossip.

However, they all know their limits and did not touch on sensitive topics. I guess they all know that there are some things that cannot be said casually.

When Zhan Zeye came back with his lunch box, he saw that the bed where he was was full of people.

He thought something had happened, so he pushed through the crowd and walked in. He saw Tang Qiyue sitting cross-legged on the bed, with two middle-aged women sitting next to her, and they were having a heated discussion.

When they saw Zhan Zeye coming in, they were shocked by the aura he exuded and made way for him.

Zhan Zeye sat in front of Tang Qiyue and put the lunch box on the small table beside the bed.

Hearing the topics of discussion around him, he raised his eyebrows. Although he knew there was nothing wrong with this kind of chat, Tang Qiyue would probably feel embarrassed to eat with everyone gathered around.

"Comrades, it's time for dinner. The food is ready on the dining car. No food coupons are needed. Everyone, hurry up and get your food. If you're late, it will be gone!"

After Zhan Zeye's reminder, everyone reacted and realized that they were all aware of the voice-over and knew that Zhan Zeye was chasing people away.

They also expressed their intention to go to the dining car to get their meals.

The two middle-aged women on the bed also left. Even the older sister opposite asked Tang Qiyue to help look after the luggage while she went to get some food.

The suddenly more spacious space allowed Tang Qiyue to breathe a sigh of relief. She was really not used to being surrounded and talked by so many people.

"Have you eaten?"

Tang Qiyue looked at the two lunch boxes, one contained braised pork and the other contained tomato and egg noodles. It didn't look like the portions were for two people.

"You eat first, I'll go to the dining car to eat later!"

Zhan Zeye handed the chopsticks to Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue was indeed hungry, so she tried the braised pork. Although the taste was average, it was meat, and the ingredients were solid and edible.

She wasn't that hungry to begin with, so she pushed the lunch box in front of Zhan Zeye after eating half of the noodles.

Zhan Zeye saw that Tang Qiyue really didn't want to eat anymore, so he handed the dried fish he had just taken out of the box to Tang Qiyue. He then took the chopsticks handed to him by Tang Qiyue and finished the noodles and braised pork in no time.

The dried fish were baked by the one-eyed uncle, originally intended for them to eat as snacks on the road.

It is crispy and burnt, with the unique flavor of sea salt, and very chewy, making it a great food for grinding your teeth.

Zhan Zeye was still not full after eating, so he went to the dining car to get another portion.

Not long after Zhan Zeye left, a comrade passing by saw Tang Qiyue eating dried fish and asked, "Comrade, are you selling this dried fish?"

Tang Qiyue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't do speculation."

Are you kidding? Private transactions are prohibited now.

The comrade didn't expect Tang Qiyue to say that, but he quickly reacted and smiled awkwardly: "Comrade, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. I took a child with me on the bus, and the child couldn't sit still. I saw that the dried fish you were eating was very delicious, so I wanted to change something for the child!"

Tang Qiyue: ...You misunderstood me!
