His predecessor failed

The next day, Su Zhuzhu also took the morning off. He's mother and Lin Wu had a noon train, so they had to leave for the county at 11 a.m. to catch the 3 p.m. train. So Su Zhuzhu quietly got up before dawn and braised the pig's trotters first. In addition, Ping An sent some eels, crayfish and lotus roots early in the morning. These all had to be processed and time had to be made good use of.

Su Zhuzhu trotted to Uncle Li's house and brought back two large boxes, panting. She put the prepared insulation covers into them, took out all the lunch boxes that had been packed and frozen in the freezer last night, and placed them neatly in the wooden boxes.

Fortunately, it was made big enough, otherwise it would not fit in, and Lin Wu would have to trouble himself to carry it all the way back.

When the frozen box was full, Su Zhuzhu simply nailed the lid shut to seal it up so that no one would know that there was frozen food inside.

After finishing all this, I started to prepare food for He's mother and Lin Wu on the way, a large portion of spicy crayfish, a large portion of spicy rabbit cubes, two large bags of braised pig's trotters, a box of pepper and salt eel slices, a box of hot braised pork intestines, a box of honey glutinous rice lotus root, a salt-baked chicken, a small box of stir-fried snail meat, and ten fried egg pancakes and ten meat-filled pancakes as the staple food. The staple food was probably not enough, so it would be nice to buy a few steamed buns on the train to go with these dishes.

Everything was hot when it was made. Su Zhuzhu put one into the second box after making it, trying to keep it warm for as long as possible. Finally, when she was done, she stuffed ten apples bought by He's mother into the box. It would be almost three days' journey, so eating some apples would help supplement some vitamins.

Su Zhuzhu did not use any nails for this box. Instead, Grandpa Li made a simple lock for it. It only needs to be fastened with a rope, making it convenient for Su Zhuzhu to take food with her on the road.

We had to set off at 11 o'clock, and had brunch together. We had braised fish fillets, fish head and vegetable soup, stir-fried pork with peppers, stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of braised pig's trotters.

Except for the lunch left for Liu Yuanyuan, all the rest were eaten, and He's mother and Lin Wu were very full.

When He's mother and Lin Wu came, they brought four large bags, and when they left, they brought two large boxes. They were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They said they came to visit Su Zhuzhu, but the two large boxes were no less than the four bags they brought.

After all the things were loaded into the car, Su Zhuzhu and He's mother said goodbye to each other reluctantly. They lingered for a long time, tears coming out. However, Lin Wu could not bear it anymore and separated the two. He said hello to Su Zhuzhu and drove away.

He's mother was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Xiao Wu, you feel bad, but you can come over here after the New Year. But she is in a bad situation, she doesn't know when she will see Zhuzhu next time!"

Su Zhuzhu walked back to the Youth League Institute after she could no longer see the jeep. She cleaned up the small kitchen first and planned to go back to her room to tidy up and take a nap as she had to go back to the clinic to work in the afternoon.

While cleaning up, Su Zhuzhu found a thick envelope under He's mother's pillow. She took it out and counted it. There were two thousand yuan and a lot of general tickets, including food tickets, meat tickets, industrial tickets and so on. There were quite a lot of them.

Su Zhuzhu touched the envelope for a long time and said, "Okay, just take it as it's given by our sister Ran. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll make more delicious food and send it to the He family. There's still a long time to go, and I'll repay the He family's kindness in the future."

At Qingfeng County Railway Station, Lin Wu can park his car in the square and just forget about it, as someone will come to pick it up.

He's mother carried a water bottle and a small bag, while Lin Wu carried a backpack and a large wooden box in one hand. Fortunately, the wooden box was tall and narrow, otherwise it would have been difficult for Lin Wu to carry it with his physique.

The people and luggage were boarded smoothly, and the delicious smell along the way made the passengers in the carriage drool.

It's okay to say that everyone just eats some dry food. After all, there is no harm without comparison. During the two or three days' journey, everyone either eats pancakes or steamed buns. Those who are better off bring some meat sauce or something, or buy a box lunch on the train to get by.

I've never seen He's mother and Lin Wu riding a train like this. According to everyone's observation, the two wooden boxes must be full of delicious food. One of them has never been opened, and the other has been opened. The fragrance is so overbearing. And the delicious food that Lin Wu took out was all steaming.

Some familiar people came over to take a look and found that the wooden box was filled with thermal insulation cotton. No wonder, this family was willing to spend money and effort to get such a box just to bring some food for the journey. The delicious food they took out was not simple either. Some of them had never been seen before. For example, the chicken was bright yellow in color. If Lin Wu hadn't asked, he wouldn't have known that this thing was called salt-baked chicken.

Supplies were scarce in those days, and everyone was self-aware. They were just interested in this large insulated wooden box. After looking at it for a while, they dispersed. What else could they do? They could just eat steamed buns while enjoying the aroma. It was also a taste.

It is said that He's mother and Lin Wu were having a happy meal on the train. They first ate hot dishes such as spicy snail meat, crayfish, pork intestines, and diced rabbit meat, and saved pig's trotters and salt-baked chicken for last. They were not afraid of eating them a little cold. After eating, they ate an apple to relieve the spiciness and a piece of honey-glazed lotus root to sweeten their mouths. Lin Wu felt that if he had these delicious foods, he would be willing to take the train every day!
