Zhou Zhengan sat on his seat and saw Xiao Wu sitting next to him who had just finished peeling an egg.

Zhou Zhengan couldn't help but smile and grabbed it.

"Eat it for me, and peel another one!"

Popped it into my mouth in one bite.

He wanted to try the taste of eggs.

"Lao Zhou, you are not being honest. It's not like you don't have eggs yourself. You even have to grab an egg. You can't taste it."

After saying this, I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing.

He smiled awkwardly in a hurry, and several people nearby also hurriedly interrupted.

"Lao Zhou, what else do you want to eat? I also have pancakes and pickles here.

This pickle is mixed with chili sauce and is sour and spicy..."

After saying this, it was quiet again, mainly because everyone realized that no matter which topic was discussed, it was poking at Lao Zhou's sore spots.

Zhou Zhengan's face darkened.

He chewed hard.

wrong!

Why is this egg tasteless again? How is it possible?

He had just eaten the wheaten flavor of the steamed buns, so why did the egg turn into chewy wax in his mouth?

He picked up the steamed bun in the lunch box that he had taken two bites of.

He picked up the teapot and poured down half the teapot's water, and took another bite of the steamed bun.

Zhou Zhengan's expression was a little unpredictable.

When the people around him looked at his face, which turned green and red, they couldn't figure out what was happening to Zhou Zhengan.

I thought they had not noticed what they were saying just now and had hurt Zhou Zhengan.

But usually Lao Zhou is not such a narrow-minded person.

Who knew that Zhou Zhengan put the steamed bun into his mouth and chewed it again and again, frowning.

He could definitely taste the steamed buns.

Strong wheat aroma, light sweet aroma.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at the food in other people's hands.

what happened?

"Brother Li, let me break a piece of cake."

Brother Li was holding a pancake roll with green onions in his hand, and he handed it over with a smile when he heard this.

"I haven't eaten yet. If you want, I'll give it all to you."

Zhou Zhengan took the pancake and took a big bite. It had no taste, it really had no taste.

Zhou Zhengan thought about everything that had just happened. Why could he taste the steamed buns but couldn't taste anything else?

Can you only taste the steamed buns taken from the dining car?

Zhou Zhengan put down the pancakes again and looked back at the hands of other comrades.

Finally I saw the steamed buns that were brought out with him.

He rushed over and picked up the steamed bun, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

There was disappointment in his eyes, but there was still no taste. This steamed bun had completely different feelings from the steamed bun he had just eaten.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yifan, who had the best relationship with him, patted his shoulder worriedly. Lao Zhou had been going crazy since he came back from smoking a cigarette just now.

"Xiao Jiang, I can't explain clearly, and I don't know what to say either. Just ask me to be quiet."

Zhou Zhengan pushed Jiang Yifan away and walked back to the carriage door.

He hammered the box with his hand a little irritably.

how so?

Everything was correct, the only thing that happened was that the girl named Xia Zhi broke off half of his buns.

Could it be related to the summer solstice?

Zhou Zhengan stared at the scenery passing by outside the window and shook his head, his face full of disbelief.

This is impossible!

But how to explain this? The steamed buns he ate just now suddenly changed qualitatively.

Zhou Zhengan stood here alone for several hours.

One of the passengers kept getting off the train, and some conductors drove him away. Zhou Zhengan felt as if he was trapped in a mystery.

But the feeling of being able to taste it is really addictive.

No one could bear to let him go back to that tasteless life.

Zhou Zhengan stayed until late at night before he recovered.

He has made up his mind.

There was a determined look in his eyes.

He must try, is it related to that girl? Is it because of the girl, or is he having an illusion?

If he remembered correctly, the girl said her name was Xia Zhi, and she should have come from the car next to her.

And the girl said that she was going to support border construction, which meant that it was the terminal station of this train.

He will definitely find this girl tomorrow.

I forced myself to return to my seat and squinted for a while until it got light.

He couldn't sleep.

They have special treatment. They have three meals a day and can go to the dining car to receive their own fixed quota of food.

Zhou Zhengan rushed to the dining car early in the morning with his lunch box.

The breakfast looked good. There was millet porridge, two steamed buns per person, an egg and a plate of pickles.

Compared with the meals they usually eat in the reclamation area, this place is like a fairyland.

Zhou Zhengan hesitated for a moment. It was not appropriate to use his own lunch box to deliver food to a girl. He asked the comrade in the dining car and bought a big tea vat.

The five characters "Serve the People" are written on the white teapot.

In order to prove that he was not under any illusion, he first broke off a piece of steamed bun and took a bite.

It’s not easy to break an egg, and it’s not easy to break it and give it to a girl.

But that mouthful of steamed buns was unmistakable to him. Sure enough, it no longer tasted the same as the steamed buns he ate yesterday.

One hand is holding the lunch box, and the other is holding the teapot.

Zhou Zhengan walked into the carriage nervously, looking through the crowd one by one, trying to find the face in his memory yesterday.

Xia Zhi sat on her seat and pressed her belly with her hand.

Half a piece of steamed bun was indeed of no use. Now she was hungry again, but she couldn't buy anything.

What's more important is that she hasn't drank water for a day and a night, and now her lips are so dry that they are starting to peel.

She didn't notice that the educated youths sitting opposite her seat were looking at her more and more wrongly.

Xia Zhi didn't care, but she was indeed short of water, and no one would agree to borrow someone else's teapot right now.

Liu Qianjin, who was sitting next to her, didn't have a teapot either, but had a broken porcelain bowl in his hand.

There were already several openings on the side of the bowl.

Xia Zhi thought about it, if he asked Liu Qianjin to borrow a bowl, Liu Qianjin would definitely not refuse.

But she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to pass this test in her heart.

If she remembered correctly, Liu Quanjin had told her before that his broken bowl was of commemorative significance, as their rhubarb grew up with him.

This is the bowl Rhubarb uses to eat and drink.

Later, when Rhubarb died, Liu Qianjin took this bowl to commemorate Rhubarb and changed the bowl for his own use.

Xia Zhi couldn't get over this hurdle just thinking about it.

When I was hesitating and tangled here, I suddenly heard a voice coming from my ear.

"Xia Zhi, I finally found you."

Xia Zhi raised her head and met a pair of surprised eyes.

How to describe it?

Those eyes were shining like stars in the sky.

The eyes are secondary, the main thing is the light in the eyes.

Finding yourself is like finding the most precious treasure in the world.
