Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

No wonder Mrs. Lin fell in love with Du Wanqing. It was because she was so innocent and cute that people couldn't help but feel pity for her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you, Mistu. Don't worry, I will try my best to stay at my relative's house."

After nightfall, the ticket inspectors began to come and check the tickets, and along with them came a staff member selling sleeper berths.

He said patiently to Miss Tu and Mrs. Lin, "Would you two ladies like to purchase a sleeper ticket?"

"There are still a few berths left in the second-class carriage. If you want to reserve one, you'd better hurry up."

"If someone else books it soon, you'll have no choice but to sit here all night."

Miss Du lowered her head and said nothing. Mrs. Lin asked politely, "How much?"

Staff: "Three dollars per person per night."

Mrs. Lin was a little surprised, "So expensive?"

Staff: "The facilities there are good. There are not only beds but also quilts. It's so cold in winter. You will easily catch a cold if you sit here all night."

Perhaps it was the last sentence that touched Mrs. Lin. She hesitated for only a few seconds, then nodded, bought two sleeper tickets, and followed the man.

Before leaving, he gave the leftover snacks to Ai Shutong.

Ai Shutong pretended to be delighted and accepted it.

The staff member who looked down on others glanced at her with contempt, turned around and strode away.

……

Why are you so arrogant? If you have the guts, why don't you try to show off to the people in the first-class carriage? !

Normally, the train staff would not treat the passengers in the second-class carriage badly.

The reason why this person has such a bad attitude.

Another part of the reason is that Ai Shutong's outfit this time was a bit too exaggerated.

People who can afford to pay twice the price of a third-class carriage for a second-class carriage would not be dressed so poorly.

But for the sake of safety, she not only wore it, but also painted her face dark, looking very much like the poor people who had to do heavy labor outside all year round.

This leads to discrimination against staff with low qualifications.

Ai Shutong is very careful when she goes out alone, and she has her own theory.

I think dressing like this will not attract much trouble.

She even followed this principle when eating.

You won’t die if you eat less of one or two good meals. The key is not to attract other people’s attention and avoid trouble.

She picked up the snacks given by Mrs. Lin and ate them happily.

After a while, the tea vendors started coming to the carriage to sell food.

There are meat buns, pancakes, fried fruits...

These are all sold privately. There are special dining cars on the train, but they only serve Western food, which is not only expensive, but the menus are all in English. Therefore, even passengers in the second-class car rarely go to the dining car to eat.

Not long after the tea worker walked away, a man in a gray cotton jacket came up from behind with his hands in his pockets. He walked forward while looking left and right.

Ai Shutong patted the snack crumbs on her hands, and under his glare, she folded the paper that wrapped the snack and threw it on the table.

He continued to walk forward silently.

He stopped beside a lady with a child and just looked at her without leaving.

The child took the meat bun with two bites taken out of it and crawled under the old lady's armpit.

The old lady rubbed the child's head twice and said, "Huluhuhu head, you won't be scared!"

Then he picked up the paper bag on the table and handed it to the big brother without raising his head.

The elder brother picked it up and continued walking forward.

He walked up to a thin man and stopped moving again.

The thin man handed him the half-eaten pancake in his hand. He took it and ate it without any disgust.

……

Ai Shutong sat crookedly in her seat all night. When she woke up in the morning, she felt pain in her waist and back, and felt uncomfortable all over!

I looked enviously at the guy who was occupying two seats opposite me. He was sleeping lying down, so he must be much more comfortable than me.

She was almost dying of thirst, so she looked at the sky outside. At this hour, everyone was still sleeping. If she went there and came back quickly, she wouldn't lose the seat she was sitting on.

Having made up her mind, she tiptoed quickly and quietly through the passengers who were staggering in the carriage and came to the dining car.

The environment of the dining car is very good. The rectangular table is covered with white cloth, which is very Western style.

After taking a quick look, she quickly came to the drinks area, pointed at a bottle of soda and asked, "How much is this?"

The tea worker yawned lazily before he said, "One dime."

When Ai Shutong took the bottle in her hand, she realized that the soda water bottle was made of glass. Looking at the empty bottles in the box next to it, she immediately realized that the bottle had to be recycled.

She walked slowly to a dining table with a soda and sat down.

It was still early and she was the only one in the dining car.

While drinking, she looked around and saw several menus stuck in a window.

She stood up slowly, walked over, picked it up and looked at it.

It says salmon, sardines, steak, curry chicken, tomato chicken shreds...

The prices are very attractive, even the cheapest shredded tomato chicken costs one dollar.

But if I go back to the carriage to buy food sold privately, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it.

She reached into her coat pocket, pretending to take out money, but in fact she took out a dollar from the space.

"I'd like some shredded chicken with tomatoes."

She handed the dollar through the window.

The master at the window said nothing, took the money and disappeared.

Ai Shutong waited for about a quarter of an hour, and a plate of steaming tomato chicken rice was handed to her.

Ai Shutong felt cheated when she got it. It was supposed to be shredded tomato and chicken, but how come it turned into shredded tomato and chicken with rice?

The rice took up most of the plate, so how much room was left for my shredded tomato chicken?!

She gritted her teeth secretly and took two deep breaths.

After calming down, he walked back to the dining table silently and started eating.

Don't tell me, it tastes pretty good.

Forget it, when you are alone outside, safety is the most important thing.

If you want to argue, your strength won't allow it!

After another night of hard work, on the morning of the third day, Ai Shutong finally got off the train in Nanjing.

As soon as she walked out of the station, she was surrounded by a group of people.

"Does the girl live in the hotel?"

"Where are you going girl? I'll take you there?"

"Girl, try this plum blossom cake. It's fresh out of the pan and smells really good."

Ai Shutong shook her head and ran for her life.

He walked two miles without looking back, then heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to stop an empty rickshaw, "Do you know the largest hotel in Nanjing?"

The driver with yellow teeth looked at Ai Shutong and said, "I know her. The Yangtze Hotel is not far from here. I heard that the cheapest bungalow costs three dollars a night! The apartment is even more expensive!"

Ai Shutong: "Let's go to Yangzi Hotel!"

Driver: “Are you sure?”

Ai Shutong nodded.

The driver said: "Five cents, please pay first."

Ai Shutong was puzzled. Why did so many people discriminate against her outside Beijing?

Who do you look down on? !
