Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

Long Lifan was unaware of Liu Pandi's little scheme. At the moment, she was engrossed in the system's goods. "If I can't afford it, can't I at least look at it?"

In particular, Long Lifan had discovered a bug in the system and was currently happily browsing through various books in her mind. The system lodged a strong protest about this, but Long Lifan brushed it off with the excuse that she needed to review the information before buying anything!

Long Lifan is currently engrossed in reading books about this era. After all, she will be living here in the future, so it's always good to know more!

It must be said that after taking that reagent, Long Lifan's memory improved a lot. Although she was good at studying in her previous life, it was because she was very diligent.

Long Lifan was engrossed in reading when she suddenly felt a little hungry. She sat up to get something to eat, but when she saw the lower bunk, she was stunned!

At this moment, the lower bunk was already full of people. Apart from Liu Pandi, the other two educated youths who were traveling with them had already moved to the upper bunk, because they felt that they had too much luggage and therefore did not move!

Several middle-aged women and their children occupied all the seats below, and even one of them sat next to Liu Pandi's bed, making her feel quite miserable!

Looking at all this, Long Lifan immediately understood. These people were probably from the aisle, and they had all rushed over when they saw there was a spot! To her, it didn't matter, since there was no one else around!

"Grandma, I'm hungry!" said a little boy, about five or six years old, snuggling up to a middle-aged woman.

"Ah, okay!" The auntie responded quickly when she heard her grandson's question at noon, and then said to Liu Pandi, "Girl, do you have anything to eat? My grandson is hungry."

"Oh...ah." Liu Pandi paused for a moment, then looked at the little boy. Perhaps it was because his tone was exactly the same as her mother's, but she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

She tiptoed to her bag and pulled out a cornbread bun, her rations for the next few days! In her mother's words, "Why should a girl eat so well? It's a waste of money. It's better to save some for her younger brother!"

So, besides the ten or so yuan she had saved herself, she also carried cornbread prepared by her family for the journey to the countryside. Despite her large amount of luggage, most of it consisted of old clothes; she knew it was very cold in the north, so she had to bring plenty of old clothes with her!

"I don't want cornbread!"

But the little boy glanced at the cornbread, then slapped it to the ground and started crying and demanding something else!

"This..." The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected it to be cornbread. She had already inquired and found out that this carriage was full of educated youth sent to the countryside. Logically speaking, shouldn't their families prepare some good food for them when they first arrived in the countryside?

Even if we don't talk about meat dishes, it should at least be meat buns or eggs!

Looking at the discarded cornbread, Liu Pan felt a pang of sadness. She then got up, picked it up, and dusted it off.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Liu Pandi and realized he was indeed a poor wretch, so she didn't say anything more. Since the other two educated youths had already left the carriage, the middle-aged woman turned her attention to Long Lifan.

"Young lady, my grandson is hungry, could you...!"

"cannot!"

Before she could finish speaking, Long Lifan retorted, "This is your eldest grandson. What does he have to do with me? I'm not his parents."

"How dare you talk like that, girl? I just asked you for some food, is it really that big of a deal?" The middle-aged woman looked somewhat embarrassed when she heard Long Lifan's direct refusal.

"Let me tell you, my eldest grandson is the root of our Chen family. If he gets sick from starvation, can you take responsibility for it?"

"Whether it's your Chen family or the Liu family, what does it have to do with me? I'll say it again, if you want food, go find his parents." Hearing the aunt's words, Long Lifan almost laughed in anger, and then retorted angrily!

If it weren't for Liu Pandi's cornbread, Long Lifan might have actually given it to them. But after seeing it, she, Long Lifan, would rather feed the dog with grain than let these two, grandfather and grandson, get away with it!

Without looking up, she took out two eggs and steamed buns from her spatial storage and began to eat slowly. Her mother had gotten up early that morning to make them for her, and it must be said that the Dragon Mother's cooking skills were truly exceptional!

The grandfather and grandson below, smelling the meat buns and hearing the chewing sounds, felt even more uncomfortable.

"Grandma, I want to eat steamed buns!" The little boy tugged at his grandmother, crying and shouting.

"Eat, eat, eat! What are you eating for?!" The aunt glared at Long Lifan and said, "Who knew some people were so heartless, eating alone without sharing? They deserve to be sent to the countryside!"

The woman muttered a few curses, then her eyes darted around and she whispered something in the little boy's ear! The little boy started spinning around in the carriage, making a thumping sound!

Long Lifan had just finished eating and was about to rest when she heard this sound and felt inexplicably irritated. Not only her, but everyone else felt the same way. When someone tried to persuade her, she said that the child hadn't eaten and was making a fuss, so she couldn't control him.

"hehe…"

Hearing the aunt's words, Long Lifan's lips curled into a cold smile. So, she's trying a different method since she can't get food.

"Auntie, could you please ask your child to stop?"

"Oh!" The auntie smiled smugly, then said, "As long as you give the children an egg and meat bun, oh, the two children will stop eating once they're full!"

"Hehe, auntie, you must be joking with me!" Long Lifan laughed and said, "What child has the energy to jump around on an empty stomach!"

"That's just how my child is, there's nothing I can do!" The auntie had a "if you don't give me food, I'll keep throwing a tantrum" look on her face, as if she had Long Lifan completely under her thumb.

"Then I'll have to call the train police!"

"Go ahead and yell if you dare! I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid!" The auntie acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, but deep down she was still a little guilty!

Long Lifan didn't say much, got up from the bed, and went straight to find the train police officer!

The woman thought Long Lifan was just joking, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually find the train police!

"What's going on here?" The train police officer glanced at the crowd and then spoke seriously.

“Comrade soldier, it’s this girl who looks down on us country folk just because she’s from the city! My child just walked a few extra steps, and she reacted like this… Comrade soldier, you have to stand up for us ordinary people!”

Listening to the aunt's distorted facts, Long Lifan didn't get angry but laughed, silently waiting for her to finish speaking!

"Miss, is this how it happened?" The train police officer listened to the older woman's words and looked at the frail-looking woman in front of him, feeling that things couldn't be that simple!

"of course not!"

Long Lifan recounted the whole story truthfully, including the incident of the little boy throwing away the cornbread. You have to understand that in this era, wasting food would definitely be criticized!

After listening, the train police officer did not make a decision immediately, but instead inquired about the situation from those around him. The result he obtained was similar to what Long Lifan had said.

"Auntie, I've looked into this matter, and it's definitely your fault. You shouldn't stay here anymore; go back to your own carriages!"

Normally, the train police would turn a blind eye to people like them who take up space, but now they are clearly no longer suitable!

"By the way, she also threw away the female educated youth's rations. Shouldn't she make some compensation?" Long Lifan felt that simply letting her leave was a waste of her appearance fee! When dealing with this kind of person, nothing is more direct or leaves a deeper impression than making her pay money!

"What? We have to pay compensation?!" The woman's voice rose several octaves upon hearing this! "What's a cornbread worth? Besides, she didn't just pick it up, did she?"
