After retiring, she went to the countryside and was doted on by rough men

Chapter 5 Wheat Fragrance

The train takes three days and three nights.

But when it was time to eat, Xia Zhi felt a little embarrassed.

Others have to carry dry biscuits or steamed buns in their pockets.

There are good living conditions, and even eggs, biscuits and so on.

There was nothing in her pocket.

There is no tea mug even if you want to drink hot water.

I didn't see that the eyes of those around her were gradually showing disdain.

They have seen poor people, but they have never seen such poor people.

Showing off your wealth these days will kill you, but being too poor will also make you lose your head.

There was no time to prepare for the summer solstice last night, the time was too tight.

When it got dark, Xia Zhi decided to avoid it when someone started to take out pancakes and green onions again.

In another two hours, it is estimated that I will reach a big station. I hope that when I arrive at the station, I can meet some brave small businessmen who can buy me some food.

Today, these stations are all small stations where there is not enough time to stop, and there are not many people who get on the bus to sell things.

The summer solstice was hungry for a whole day.

I didn't eat enough last night, and now I'm really dizzy.

Xia Zhi wanted to drink some water to fill his stomach, and there was no tea mug.

I blame myself a bit, this time I acted too hastily and didn't prepare well enough.

Mainly due to time constraints.

It's lucky to be able to run out, and it's a big deal for someone who is not careful to be spotted by the Gu family.

Xia Zhi hid at the door of the train.

Because this place has to get off the train back and forth, basically no one sits here, even if they sit here, they will be driven away by the conductor.

As soon as Xia Zhi came to the front, he found that there were already people in this place.

But it seemed a little impolite to turn around and leave after he had already walked in.

Especially when the opponent is a man in uniform.

Clothes with this kind of quality can be seen as belonging to a special unit.

Definitely not a bad guy.

This person should also be hiding here to smoke.

Realizing that Xia Zhi appeared, he hurriedly threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and crushed it with his feet.

Gu Nian stood aside and stared at the increasingly dark roadside scenery outside the window, although she tried her best to keep her gaze out of the car window.

But his eyes still involuntarily fell to his side, on the aluminum lunch box that this man was holding in his hand.

The lid of the lunch box has been opened, and there are two fat and white steamed buns inside.

Although it is simple, even without any side dishes, Xia Zhi can smell the flour flavor of pure wheat-flavored steamed buns.

I have been hungry all day, and now I see steamed buns, and they are big white steamed buns.

Zhou Zhengan looked at the girl next to him, with his head facing the car window.

Seen from the back, the girl is looking at the scenery outside the car window seriously, but he is not blind.

The girl on the window glass stared straight at the steamed buns in the lunch box in her hand through the window glass.

Suspicious liquid flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at the steamed buns and smiled wryly, since he was born, eating everything was tasteless.

He has no sense of taste.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty are all the same taste in his mouth, so he never had any expectations or longings for food.

Even if this steamed bun is eaten into my stomach, it only supplies all the nutritional functions of my body, in fact, one is enough.

Let this steamed bun help those who can.

Zhou Zhengan handed over the lunch box.

"Are you hungry, girl? Let's eat a steamed bun. Don't worry, I'm a good person."

Xia Zhi suddenly turned his head, his eyes sparkled, as if a hungry wolf saw the fat.

There is no way, there are good people these days, but not many are kind enough to give up their big white steamed buns to others.

Xia Zhi felt that his expression was a little wretched and awkward.

After swallowing, he realized that the corners of his mouth were drooling.

A little concealed, she wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, it's really not that she doesn't like to be clean, she couldn't find a handkerchief all over her body.

"Thank you, comrade, I'm not hungry."

"Gulu, Gulu, Gululu!"

The thunderous stomach screams exposed Xia Zhi's lie.

Xia Zhi's face suddenly looked like a red cloth.

Pressing his stomach with his hands, he almost didn't cry out, almost catching up with the scene of the society's death.

Zhou Zhengan showed a playful smile, and passed the lunch box forward.

"Comrade knows you are hungry, eat, it's okay."

Seeing Xia Zhi still hesitated, he stuffed the lunch box directly into Xia Zhi's hand.

"Eat, don't be shy, serving the people is what you should do."

The corner of Xia Zhi's mouth twitched, not to mention, people who wear uniforms these days have such a lofty belief.

She really couldn't eat other people's food for free, so she hesitated for a while, but she thought that she hadn't eaten for a whole day, so she couldn't really starve to death and go to the frontier.

"My name is Xia Zhi, comrade, what's your name?"

Zhou Zhengan looked at the big and generous person in front of him, because he seemed a little embarrassed and inferior in the embarrassing scene just now.

"My name is Zhou Zhengan."

"I went to the frontier to support the construction. I ate your steamed buns today, and I will definitely return them to you in the future."

Xia Zhi took a steamed bun and broke it in half, then stuffed the lunch box back into Zhou Zhengan's arms.

Grain is a precious thing these days, and others are reluctant to give others a bite of steamed buns, let alone Zhou Zhengan, who is white flour steamed buns.

A big man's meal ration is only two steamed buns, so he can't be so indifferent and just eat one steamed bun from someone else, that would be inappropriate.

"Thank you, I'm in that compartment. Don't worry, I will return it to you when I get there. I know your name."

"you are very welcome."

Zhou Zhengan waved his hand, and seeing the back of the girl turning away, he couldn't help but smile.

Although I tasted it tasteless, the girl must have tasted it delicious.

Summer solstice! ?
The name is really nice.

Thinking of the girl drooling, Zhou Zhengan finally felt his own hunger in his stomach.

He picked up the girl's remaining half of the steamed bun, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Zhou Zhengan suddenly frowned.

what happened?
He lost his sense of taste from the moment he was born, and no matter what he ate, he had no taste, and it was the same.

But today, he actually tasted the white flour steamed bun.

A strong fragrance, indescribably delicious in the mouth.

At first he thought he was hallucinating.

He stuffed all the steamed buns into his mouth with a big gulp.

The more he chewed, the more he felt that the fragrance was not an illusion. Really, he tasted a sweet and soft feeling.

The strong aroma of wheat, this should be the aroma of wheat mentioned by comrades-in-arms, after fermentation and evaporation, a special aroma is produced.

There is actually a faint fragrance in the mouth.

Zhou Zhengan suddenly burst into tears. Could it be that he recovered from his illness?
Impatiently, he swallowed half of the steamed bun, then grabbed another steamed bun and put it in his mouth to eat.

That's right, his sense of taste came back!

Zhou Zhengan desperately ran back to the carriage.

I couldn't hold back my excitement.
