Chapter 140 On the way (2)
Although the price of 15 is really expensive, my sister wants to eat it, so it's not a bad idea to give it a try.
Hua Lichu quickly shook her head: "I was just curious."
Hua Antao carefully examined Hua Lichu's expression and, seeing that she truly did not want to, gave up.
Speaking of food, Hua Lichu is very generous; if she wants to eat something, she will eat it, and she would never lie.
Since the family's life improved, Hua Lichu has repeatedly increased the food expenses.
While we don't have fish and meat at every meal, we make sure to have at least one meat dish every day.
In addition, Huali is afraid that she will not get enough nutrition when she is born, so she will not grow tall.
I ordered three servings of milk, one for each person.
Hua Yuansheng refused: "I won't drink! You two drink more! I'm already old, one leg is buried in the ground, why would I drink milk? Isn't that a waste? I'm not a child anymore."
Hua Lichu had anticipated his reaction and rattled off a whole bunch of things.
Older people often have osteoporosis and brittle bones, making them more susceptible to stroke from falls. Therefore, they need to supplement their calcium intake in a timely manner.
The main point is that older people also need nutrition.
Finally, Hua Lichu used her trump card.
She clung pitifully to Hua Yuansheng's arm and swayed back and forth, pleading, "Don't you want to live a long and healthy life and spend more time with us?"
Needless to say, Huayuansheng certainly wants to!
He hasn't even seen his two granddaughters grow up yet, how could he be willing to grow old?
"Is drinking milk really good for my health? Can it make me live a few more years?"
"Sure!"
Hua Lichu gave a firm answer, but inwardly she was thinking to herself.
Milk isn't a magic pill, so how could it possibly extend lifespan?
God help me, she was just telling a white lie.
But believe it or not, with a glass of milk, two eggs, and fish every day, the three generations of the family showed significant changes in just over half a year.
It's no surprise that her complexion has improved.
Most importantly, Hua Lichu discovered that she had grown 3cm taller, while Hua Antao had grown 2cm taller.
However, perhaps due to the high level of exercise and study intensity, neither of them gained weight.
Among these, Huayuansheng's changes are the most obvious.
The cheekbones that used to be so thin and prominent have become fleshy.
My kneecaps, which used to ache from drafts on rainy days, don't hurt as much anymore.
My body, which used to take a whole night to warm up, now gets hot very quickly.
I no longer suffer from insomnia night after night like before; I can finally get a warm and peaceful night's sleep.
Hua Yuansheng secretly wondered if his granddaughter had really not lied to him, and he might actually live a few more years to see his two granddaughters have children!
Actually, his demands weren't high; he just wanted to live to see his two children graduate from university and have stable jobs.
But now, he has become greedy.
His gradually strengthening body made him dream of living until the day his two granddaughters got married.
In order to live a few more years, Hua Yuansheng no longer skimped on food and drink.
She was even more attentive to drinking milk than Hua Lichu.
As Hua Yuansheng was eating an egg, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't drunk his milk yet, so he quickly opened the package and took out three bottles of milk.
Hua Lichu was shocked.
The milk we order at home is fresh milk from a nearby dairy farm, ordered together with the milk from the milk tea shop. It has to be boiled before drinking and has a very short shelf life.
But what Huayuansheng distributed to them was clearly not the correct one!
Hua Yuansheng chuckled: "Milk is a good thing, we can't stop! I was just strolling around the other day when I saw bottled milk at a nearby supermarket, so I bought a carton. That's why I brought it with me."
Hua Lichu gave Hua Yuansheng a thumbs up: "You've got foresight!"
Hua Yuansheng took a sip of milk with reverence and tasted it carefully: "It doesn't have the same milk flavor as the milk we drink every morning."
But when you're traveling, this is pretty good too.
Since it was mealtime, the three members of the family, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, all came to Hua Lichu's bed, so the curtains were not drawn.
Not only them, but all the passengers in the carriage were having lunch.
In an instant, the entire carriage was filled with the aroma of all kinds of food.
The woman on the opposite bed was no exception.
But as soon as she took out the food, she noticed the child in the old woman's arms staring at her longingly.
To be precise, he was staring longingly at the food in her hand.
But she didn't prepare much; just enough for herself to eat until she got off the bus.
Seeing the clear drool at the corner of the child's mouth, the woman still shared some food with the child.
The child took the food, gave most of it to the old lady, and then wolfed it down.
After she finished eating, she stared longingly at the woman's food.
The woman was a little annoyed when she saw the old woman eat the food the child had given her in just a few bites.
So when the child looks at you again, just turn away and avoid seeing or hearing it.
I must never be soft-hearted again.
She made a decision silently in her heart.
The child stared silently for several minutes, perhaps realizing that the woman really wouldn't give her any more food, then turned around and looked at Hua Lichu and the other two opposite her.
Hua Yuansheng and Hua Antao finished their food in a few bites, then quickly pulled the curtain shut and returned to their beds.
Upon seeing this, the old woman curled her lip and said, "You stingy little thing!"
But it doesn't matter, there are plenty of people in the carriage.
She lowered her head and whispered a few words of advice to the child.
The child started staring longingly at others again.
And you know what? Quite a few "kind people" would share their food with her.
Among them are generous men, soft-hearted and thin-skinned women, and elderly people who can't bear to see their children suffer.
The child received the food but did not eat it himself first.
Instead, he would tear off a large half and give it to the old lady, and then eat the rest himself, bite by bite.
After finishing eating, I went to the next bed.
Some people couldn't stand it and wanted to scold the old lady.
But if the child is willing, who can stop them?
The old lady was proud of her ability to ride the train and eat and drink well without spending a penny.
Little did they know, this had already aroused public outrage.
The afternoon passed quickly, and it was time for dinner.
The old woman put the child on the ground, hoping she would go out begging for food, just like at noon.
But everyone saw through her plan.
This time, no one offered a helping hand for any reason.
A flash of anger crossed the old woman's eyes as she yelled at the child, "You useless thing! You can't do anything right..."
He got so worked up that he even wanted to hit the child.
The carriage was filled with the heart-wrenching cries of children.
The others were a little reluctant, but they were also afraid of being taken advantage of by the old lady, so they could only avoid seeing her and not wanting to get involved.
The old woman's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she reluctantly took out her food and started eating.
As she looked down, Hua Lichu caught a glimpse of the calculating look on the other person's face.
She winked at her grandfather and sister.
While the old lady went out to fetch water, she whispered to the grandfather and sister, "Put all your valuables here with me, and don't sleep too soundly at night."
