Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Eat meat~eat meat~"

The little girl's muffled voice came out from between his arms. Lu Jin felt his heart inexplicably softened and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Then I'll get you some food. You can lie down for a while and then get up and move around."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Chuanzong~"

Shi Yan turned her head and faced Lu Jin, revealing a standard smile with eight teeth. When she saw Lu Jin's ears blushing, she finally found the feeling of being in Fujia Village and felt much more at ease.

Because Lu Jin was a new transfer student and had been delayed in the classroom for quite a while, he had to go to the school cafeteria alone with his lunch box.

He also studied in the Municipal High School in his previous life, so he was very familiar with the cafeteria of the Municipal High School. The people responsible for cooking and serving meals in the cafeteria were basically the parents of the students in the school, and they were always quite enthusiastic towards the students who came to get meals.

Lu Jin looked around and prepared to get the meat and vegetables that Shi Jiao ordered first. After all, the meat and vegetables supplied in the cafeteria every day were limited. If he didn't get them now, they would be gone later.

Fortunately, he brought a multi-layered aluminum lunch box. He could use the lower layer to serve rice to Shi Jiao, and he used the upper layer and the lunch box lid to eat his own rice.

"Comrade Lu! Comrade Lu! Comrade Lu! Comrade Lu Jin!"

A clear female voice came from a display window in the corner of the cafeteria. Lu Jin looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a young female comrade who looked familiar. When she saw Lu Jin's gaze turned away, she hurriedly shook her hands.

Lu Jin didn't want to humiliate the female comrade in public, and he saw the words "Today's Menu: Lion's Head" written on the window.

This coincided with his destination, so he headed there.

"Mom, this is a new student in our class. He may have just arrived today and is not familiar with the structure of the cafeteria. Mom, don't you know how to save some leftovers? Please serve some to classmate Lu."

Although the middle-aged woman in the window looked a little haggard and had obviously experienced hardships, seeing that she was dressed neatly and had her hair pinned behind her head, Lu Jin made a mental note of the food hygiene at this window.

The little girl likes cleanliness and won’t eat anything that is unclean or has been touched by someone she’s not familiar with.

"You are Yueyue's classmate, bring your lunch box here. Although the complete lion heads are sold out, there are some leftover edges from the making process. Don't worry, they are all clean. You have worked hard in your senior year of high school, so eat some meat to replenish your body."

As the woman spoke, she brought up an enamel basin with a lid from under the windowsill. She opened the lid and saw meatballs of different sizes and shapes covered in a thick sauce that was still steaming.

The meat and vegetables in the enamel basin looked quite good. Lu Jin handed over the lunch box in his hand and asked someone to scoop him a spoonful.

"Auntie, here's the ticket."

The canteen of the municipal high school has special canteen meat tickets, vegetable money tickets, and meal tickets.

Lu Jin bought it in advance before he came to register in the morning. He weighed the lunch box in his hand, took out the meat ticket of the same amount and handed it to the window.

But before the auntie serving food at the window could reach out to take the meat ticket, a simple little hand suddenly reached out, snatched the meat ticket away, and stuffed it back into Lu Jin's hand.

"Comrade Lu, you don't need to give us a ticket. These are just extra leftovers, a benefit given by the cafeteria to employees. Why would we ask for your meat ticket?"

Su Yue deliberately lowered her voice and leaned closer to Lu Jin, acting as if she was very familiar with Lu Jin.

Her posture made Lu Jin feel uncomfortable and he stepped back. He reached out and handed the meat ticket directly into the window, then turned around and left this corner of the cafeteria.

Lu Jin then quickly packed several more materials, and tried to put as much as possible on the bottom and top layers of the lunch box, as well as on the lid. He didn't want to eat in the cafeteria anymore, so he carefully carried the food back to the classroom.

As soon as he arrived at the classroom door, Lu Jin met the eyes of the little girl who was staring at the classroom door.

"Brother Chuanzong, you're back. I'll get it for you. I'll get it for you."

Shi Yan had actually been hungry for a long time. When she saw Lu Jin coming back with a serious face, she quickly ran over and took the lid of the lunch box with four big white steamed buns on it in a flattering manner.

"I only brought a lunch box today. It was hard to get rice, so I only took steamed buns as the staple food. Is it enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. I'm full after eating one steamed bun."

Shi Yan reached into the drawer and took out the lunch box. Then she took down the chopsticks beside her, picked up a big white steamed bun, and started eating it with the meatballs.

"Delicious, this little meatball is pretty good, you should eat it too!"

"Yeah." Lu Cheng responded in a low voice and picked up the steamed bun to eat.

So when Su Yue returned to the classroom after eating in the cafeteria, what she saw was Shi Yan and Lu Jin sharing a lunch box.

What made her even more angry was that what Shi Yan was picking up with chopsticks was the leftovers of the lion's head soup that she had asked her mother to scoop for Lu Jin.

"You said that the new comrade Lu and comrade Shi are dating from time to time? They seem to know each other well."

"Yes, yes, and they transferred to our class together. Did they agree to repeat the year together?"

Listening to the whispers of two female classmates in the aisle near the door, Su Yue felt very uncomfortable.

As soon as Shi Jiao came to the class, all the boys in the class were distracted. They finally had feelings for someone, but she went off to flirt with him. What on earth does she think this place is!

Su Yue was very angry, but not to the point of mindless rage. However, she was definitely complaining in her heart.

The day's classes were finally over, and Shi Yan was going back to high school. The only thing she was thankful for was that there was no evening self-study or make-up classes in high schools of this era, so just after five o'clock, she was already at the school gate with her schoolbag on her back.

"It's not convenient to introduce you to my parents in the principal's office today. My home is in the staff quarters of the Red Star Machinery Factory. Is your home far away? If not, you can come to my house when you have time. My parents really want to thank you for taking care of me in Fujia Village."

Hearing the familiar name of Red Star Machinery Factory, wasn't it the factory where he worked as a temporary worker in his previous life? In this way, whether in the previous life or this life, the two of them were extremely predestined.

"It's not far. I'll definitely visit you if I get a chance. Speaking of thanks, I also want to thank you for healing my leg and taking care of me for half a month."

Thinking of the little girl feeding him food one mouthful at a time and demonstrating to others, pretending to regard her husband as her god, Lu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, no matter who helps whom, we all survived the disaster, so there will definitely be good fortune in the future."

"When you are coming, remember to tell me so that I can ask my parents to prepare some delicious dishes for you."

The two talked as they walked, and finally parted at the gate of the Red Star Machinery Factory.
