Sweet 80s

Wang Shuping looked up.

Surrounded by three children, the fair-skinned boy had rosy cheeks.

Looking shy and timid.

The children also helped carry several luggage bags of various sizes.

After entering the carriage, the boy politely thanked Wang Shuping and told her about his experience.

The boy's name is Li Ruzheng.

I took a bus back to my hometown to visit my grandparents.

Since it was my first trip, I was not familiar with the carriage number and the number on the ticket, so I went into the wrong carriage.

On the slowly moving green train.

Various odors such as food and sweat filled the entire carriage.

Passengers who could not buy seat tickets had to sit on the floor, resulting in insufficient space for movement.

The environment is even dirtier and messier, and everyone is trying to reduce the number of activities as much as possible.

Li Ruzheng was in a daze. He walked through several carriages with his ticket but couldn't find his seat.

Until I met Dabao and others.

Dabao saw that the other party was in embarrassment, so he went up to ask and learned the whole story.

The most coincidental thing was that after seeing the other party’s ticket, Yan Shengnan exclaimed.

It turned out that Li Ruzheng was the last passenger on the upper bunk in their four-person carriage.

So, under the leadership of these three people, Li Ruzheng finally found his position.

"Everything is just a coincidence." Yang Huiying sighed with a smile and quickly asked the other party to sit down and rest for a while.

Just as Li Ruzheng was about to step over the packages on the floor and walk towards the bed, his raised foot accidentally kicked Yang Huiying's luggage.

It was nothing at first, but who knew that this kick would cause such a huge blow.

The stench from the package immediately rose up.

Several people in the carriage looked in agony and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.

The smell was so strong that even the owner of the luggage, Yang Huiying, could smell it.

She recalled for a moment, slapped her thigh and hurriedly explained: "It's broken, the stinky tofu I brought might have leaked..."

She squatted down and opened the luggage bag with a swish.

After unpacking two or three plastic bags in succession, an even stronger stench instantly enveloped the entire car like a dome.

Even the passengers passing by were disgusted, fanning the air in front of them or covering their noses and running away quickly.

This made life difficult for the people in the carriage.

The children were retching from the smoke. Dabao tried to open the window as wide as possible with his quick hands and feet, but he didn't have enough strength.

Yan Shengnan, who was standing by, saw this and stepped forward to help.

After all the windows were opened, the odor was gradually dissipating as the air flowed.

Yang Huiying pulled out the plastic bag and took a look.

Li Ruzheng's kick was not serious, but the mouth of the bottle of stinky tofu opened, and the green sticky soup inside had all flowed out.

The culprit for the stench has been found.

Yang Huiying was explaining to everyone awkwardly while preparing the stinky tofu.

"My son has loved it since he was young. Since he went to the south to work and start a family, the fermented bean curd he bought has never tasted as good as the one I make. I wanted to bring a bottle with me, but it leaked..."

When Yang Huiying mentioned her son, a look of regret appeared on her face.

Wang Shuping could understand this expression.

What the other party regretted was not a can of worthless fermented bean curd, but the hometown taste that his son longed for.

Thinking of this, she squatted down and helped clean up, enduring the stench.

With a twist, the bottle cap suddenly opens again after being tightened.

"It's smooth and silky, and the soup is gone, but the fermented bean curd inside is still edible." After saying that, she wrapped the innermost plastic bag around the bottle cap to increase resistance.

Tried again, the bottle cap and bottle mouth did not separate.

She turned the sealed bottle upside down, and there was no leakage.

"It should be fine..." Wang Shuping said, looking towards the table and pointing.

"How about this, you put the bottle on the table and take it away when you get off the bus to avoid any further problems."

The problem was solved, and Yang Huiying agreed with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, but I have to go to the water pipe to rinse it off. The smell is really strong..."

After Yang Huiying went out, Wang Shuping started chatting with Li Ruzheng.

"how old are you?"

It can be seen that Li Ruzheng is an honest and not good at speaking. He always moves his eyes around before speaking, and is a beat slower than other quick-talking children of the same age.

"I'm 17."

"Are you still in school?"

Li Ruzheng nodded: "I will be in the third grade of high school when school starts again, at Nanhe City No. 3 Middle School."

When she heard the name of the school, Wang Shuping immediately felt that the boy in front of her was a little more friendly.

Because the twin daughters of Lin Xiangguo, the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Xiping and Lin Xian, are attending high school in this school.

Before she could speak, Yan Shengnan looked a little surprised and asked, "Ah? Are you from No. 3 Middle School?"

Li Ruzheng nodded again.

Yan Shengnan turned to Wang Shuping and smiled silently: "Sisters Xiping and Xian are also from No. 3 Middle School."

"Yes, but they are in the second year of high school and probably don't know each other. But it's hard to say..." Wang Shuping explained.

"My uncle's older sister also went to No. 3 Middle School. They are twins."

When the word twins was mentioned, Li Ruzheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I, I, I, I know them."

Yan Shengnan seemed quite excited when he met someone he knew.

She first complained to Wang Shuping, then turned to ask Li Ruzheng all sorts of questions.

"It's a pity that my sisters didn't come to the dinner for Shoumai and my third uncle's engagement. I wanted to play with them. By the way, big brother, are you familiar with them?"

Li Ruzheng decisively said: "We have hosted a show together, but we are not too familiar with the rest."

"Then can you tell which one is which between the two of them?"

Li Ruzheng laughed foolishly and scratched his head.

"It's not possible at first, but you can tell them apart after seeing them more often. Lin Xiping is the older sister, but she is half a head shorter than Lin Xian. You can tell them apart if you remember them backwards."

After Yan Shengnan laughed a few times, he asked a question that left the other party stunned.

"What if they were separated and didn't appear at the same time, would you still be able to tell who was who?"

Li Ruzheng seemed to have never thought about this. He opened his mouth and blinked, stunned for a long time.

"Let me tell you, my sister Xiping has a mole right behind her neck, and my sister Xian has one on her collarbone. That's how I tell them apart..."

Wang Shuping seldom meets Lin Xiangguo's family on weekdays.

Since the second year of junior high school, Pan Dayun has paid special attention to their homework.

They were forbidden to participate in any family activities and devoted all their time to studying.

After entering high school, I dared not slack off.

So Wang Shuping was hearing Yan Shengnan’s words for the first time and she found them very fresh.

She asked curiously: "Nannan, what you just said, was it your uncle who taught you?"

"No, I discovered it myself. Otherwise I would always get them wrong, which would be embarrassing."

At this time, Dabao from the upper bunk leaned out to answer the question.

"I've never been able to tell them apart. They look so much alike, even their voices are exactly the same. I always call them the wrong ones, and I'm afraid to talk to them when I see them..."

At this time, Erbao also leaned forward and said, "Mom, I want to drink some water."

Wang Shuping held the cup of water to Erbao's mouth and fed him water.

Perhaps because she hadn't seen her two sisters for a long time, Yan Shengnan asked Li Ruzheng again out of curiosity.

"Big brother, then tell me, who is better at studying, Xiping or Xian?"

Li Ruzheng looked over with a smile on his face, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Uh...it should be Lin Xiping."

"I heard that No. 3 Middle School always ranks students after every exam. What's their ranking in the class?"

Li Ruzheng didn't say anything, his eyes flickered, as if he had some unspeakable nervousness.

Yan Shengnan instantly understood the other person's expression and did not continue to ask questions.

As Wang Shuping was feeding her two sons water with her back to them, she did not hear the other party's answer, so she spoke again out of curiosity.

"That's right, how are their grades?"

"I... am not sure..." Wang Shuping understood everything from Li Ruzheng's hesitant attitude.

Following my memory, I suddenly remembered that the conflict between Pan Dayun and Lin Xiangjun was caused by the twins.

A few years ago, sisters Lin Xiping and Lin Xian'an had poor academic performance.

Based on the scores from several mock exams, there is basically no hope of getting into a key high school.

Pan Dayun is a strong-willed person who wants to be better than others in every aspect.

Especially when she learned that her two daughters could not bring honor to her, she put aside her pride and went with Lin Xiangguo to ask for help from Lin Xiangjun, who had extensive connections.

As she wants.

His two daughters were the talk of the Lin family and even the entire village.

Giving birth to twins is a low-probability event in any era, especially in rural areas under feudal ideas.

If it weren't for the good deeds of my ancestors, the Lin family wouldn't have been able to produce a pair of twins for several generations. The fact that I can give birth to one shows how important two children are to the Lin family.

However, these thoughts were limited to herself.

The rest of the Lin family were just happy on the surface and didn't think there was any special meaning.

When Pan Dayun determined that Lin Xiangjun, as her uncle, would definitely help but was rejected, she completely collapsed.

This not only rejected her face, but also affected the future of her daughters.

Lin Xiangjun explained that because his grades were so far behind, even if he used money and connections to get into the key high school in the city, the result would be the same.

There is no school without a first place winner, and no key school without a lagging student.

The teaching staff and teaching environment cannot be the only criteria for judging quality.

Thinking about it now, Wang Shuping was inexplicably impressed by Lin Xiangjun's long-term vision.

Seeing that the conversation about grades was futile, Yan Shengnan had to find a way to kill the boring time.

So a new question was asked again.

"The two sisters are very beautiful, and they are twins. Is there anyone in school... chasing them?"

After saying that, Yan Shengnan raised his eyebrows and gave him a lecherous look.
