Chapter 1472: Hurry Up

Chapter 1472: Chapter 1473: Hurry Up

The big silly girl actually isn’t silly at all, she’s just straightforward and pretty simple.

Most importantly, she’s a genuine foodie.

“Political Commissar Liang’s niece, her name is Fan Cuiling.” On the bus, Mo Hongying leaned over to whisper to Gu Lingling, “Her mom died a few years ago, her dad found her a stepmother who abused her, so this girl ran away to the army to look for Political Commissar Liang.”

It was quite a sensation at the time, mainly because of how she got here—she begged all the way along the route.

It took her a whole year to make it here.

If she didn’t usually dress like a tomboy, something might really have happened to her.

When she showed up at the gate back then, she scared the guard half to death. She was filthy, and so skinny she was just skin and bones.

Political Commissar Liang only managed to become a soldier thanks to his older sister, who is Fan Cuiling’s mother. All these years he’s always been grateful to this sister, yet he never imagined that after she died, his niece would be bullied to this extent.

You have to know, he’d been sending his allowance back every month.

Political Commissar Liang, furious, took Fan Cuiling to see her dad and that stepmother of hers. He didn’t hit anyone, but he did have Fan Cuiling’s household registration moved under his own name and decided to raise her as his own daughter from then on.

And after Political Commissar Liang’s wife fell ill and passed away last year, many people tried to set him up with someone, but he turned them all down.

He said he’d wait until his niece got married before thinking about it.

He’s afraid that if he marries again, the new wife might treat his niece badly.

Gu Lingling nodded when she heard this.

Looked at this way, that Political Commissar Liang is actually a pretty good guy.

“She’s a real foodie,” Mo Hongying added.

Maybe it’s because of that period of begging, she especially loves fussing over food, and of course she loves eating.

“A lot has happened in the camp these past two years that you don’t know about. I’ll tell you when I get the chance,” Mo Hongying said, taking a bite of orange. “This orange is really delicious.”

She finished speaking and broke off half to give to Gu Lingling. “Try it.”

“Yeah, it’s so good.” Before Gu Lingling could answer her, Fan Cuiling suddenly ran back to them. “Can you sell me two more of your oranges?”

Just now she hadn’t been able to hold back and ate too fast, and finished both.

That really worried her.

She’d been planning to save two for her uncle.

But they’d only gotten through not even half the trip yet.

“Here, you eat them.” Gu Lingling handed her two. “No need to pay.”

“Ah? That’s not very polite.” Fan Cuiling twisted a strand of hair around her finger, thought for a second, then went back to her seat with the oranges. But soon she came back again, holding something out to Gu Lingling. “I bought this. Try it.”

Gu Lingling had seen it at the market earlier, but she didn’t know what it was, so she hadn’t bought any.

“This is dried tofu, it’s really tasty.” Fan Cuiling said, a bit pained as she handed it to Gu Lingling. “Go on, try it.”

With that, she shoved a whole packet into her hand, then quickly went back to her own seat.

“A whole packet… that’s a lot.” Gu Lingling said.

She’d only given her a few oranges.

“You keep it and eat.” Fan Cuiling said without even turning her head.

Gu Lingling, “…She’s really an interesting person.”

Very kind.

But sitting in the very front row, Liu Xiaoqin and Liu Qiao Lian were feeling awful.

They were carsick.

That feeling… was just unbearable.

“You… go buy me some oranges.” Liu Xiaoqin covered her mouth and handed money to Liu Qiao Lian. “Hurry.”

Right now, every time she said a sentence she couldn’t help wanting to throw up.

“I… okay.” Liu Qiao Lian said. “But you have to give me one.”

“Fine, just hurry up.” Liu Xiaoqin said.
