Chapter 38 Seeking Medical Help via Radio Broadcast
At lunchtime, Su Nuannuan took out an aluminum lunchbox that she had prepared in advance, which contained stewed chicken with potatoes and white rice.

When I opened it, the aluminum lunchbox was still steaming.

The delicious aroma of chicken immediately filled the carriage, and Su Nuannuan could clearly hear the sounds of people around her swallowing.

Su Nuannuan looked up and saw Chu Huaying staring at her lunchbox, swallowing hard.

The child noticed Su Nuannuan looking at him, and his face turned red instantly.

Su Nuannuan found it amusing and pushed the aluminum lunchbox toward him.

"I brought a lot, let's eat together."

After saying that, he took out another aluminum lunchbox, which contained the same stewed chicken with potatoes, with a layer of white rice underneath.

Zhao Yalan was very embarrassed.

"No, Nuannuan, we brought food too. You don't need to worry about us."

After saying that, he took out the large meat buns he had prepared earlier and handed them to Chu Huaying. However, compared to Su Nuannuan's hot meal, they were far inferior. They had also prepared a lot of food when they first boarded the train. However, too much time had passed, and they had all been eaten. Only these few large meat buns remained.

Chu Huaying listened to Zhao Yalan and obediently ate the large meat bun in her hand. Although she had taken the meat bun, her eyes still kept glancing at Su Nuannuan's lunchbox.

Su Nuannuan knew he didn't mean it. Children can't control their desires, especially in this era of food shortages.

Seeing the steamed buns in Chu Huaying's hand that had already gone cold, Su Nuannuan came up with a solution.

"Huaying, I want to eat the steamed bun you have. If you share your bun with me, I'll share my food with you, okay?"

It was clear that the boy was very well-mannered; when he heard that Su Nuannuan wanted to eat his meat buns, he instinctively reached out to hand them to her.

However, upon hearing that Su Nuannuan was going to share her food with him, Chu Huaying froze on the spot.

At six years old, he already understood the value of food. When his older sister wanted to share her food with him, he was at a loss and looked at Zhao Yalan for help.

Zhao Yalan knew that Su Nuannuan genuinely wanted to share the food with her son. She wasn't inflexible, so she accepted Su Nuannuan's kindness.

"Nuan Nuan, thank you. When you get to Beijing, I'll invite you to my home. Hua Ying, thank you, Sister Nuan Nuan."

Chu Huaying was very obedient and handed the half-eaten meat bun in her hand to Su Nuannuan.

"Thank you, Sister Nuannuan."

Faced with the cub's kindness, Su Nuannuan was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to accept it or not, and remained frozen in place.

Zhao Yalan sighed, glancing at the steamed bun her son had gnawed on, then at Su Nuannuan's helpless expression across from her.

"Huaying, you've already eaten this bun, so you can't give it to your sister. Mom will give your sister another bun."

After saying that, Zhao Yalan took out an oil paper package and handed it to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan knew that this was Zhao Yalan's gesture, so she accepted it.

"Sister Yalan, you should eat too."

Zhao Yalan would never agree to that. Her son was young, so it was one thing for him to eat some. But for an adult like her to eat a young girl's food was simply bullying her.

Seeing that Zhao Yalan absolutely refused, Su Nuannuan did not force her.

After getting her mother's permission, Chu Huaying finally got to eat the delicious stewed chicken with potatoes.

Unlike the low-oil and low-sugar dishes of this era, the food Su Nuannuan brought featured soft, tender potatoes and juicy chicken, and the rich flavors made Chu Huaying fall in love with the dish immediately.

After finishing her meal, Su Nuannuan poured Chu Huaying a glass of orange juice.

She had opened the drinks in the room beforehand and poured them into the army green water bottle she carried with her.

Looking at the bright orange juice in the enamel mug, Chu Huaying's face showed a curious expression.

He had never drunk juice before in his life.

Zhao Yalan was the same. Although her family was well-off, she always ate fruit directly.

I've never seen anyone drink only the juice. It's such a waste. Zhao Yalan immediately realized that Su Nuannuan's family must be quite well-off.

Su Nuannuan could tell from Zhao Yalan's expression that the other woman was overthinking things. Considering the many expenses she would incur in Beijing, she didn't offer further explanation.

Just misunderstand.

However, anyone with eyes can see that the Su family's financial situation is quite unpredictable. Especially since there are many intelligent people in Beijing. Once she arrives in Beijing, she still needs to find a way to make money.

Otherwise, even if they have money, they wouldn't dare to spend it recklessly.

Chu Huaying didn't think as much as the other two; his attention was entirely focused on the orange juice in front of him.

Smelling the sweet aroma in the air, Chu Huaying's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to take a sip.

The sweet and sour, rich liquid instantly spread throughout her mouth, and the refreshing fruity aroma brought Chu Huaying instant pleasure.

He squinted his eyes, his mouth moving constantly, and gulped down a large glass of orange juice.

"Mom, it tastes so good."

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan wanted to pour Chu Huaying another cup.

But Zhao Yalan stopped her.

"Look, his belly is all bulging; he can't drink anymore."

There was another reason, which Zhao Yalan didn't mention. Her son ate and drank what Su Nuannuan provided, but she only gave him a cold, hard bun.

Zhao Yalan felt very embarrassed.

He made up his mind that he would treat Su Nuannuan well when he returned to Beijing.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan did not insist.

Chu Huaying looked like she hadn't had enough, licking her lips as if she wanted to eat all the remaining juice.

After eating and drinking her fill, Chu Huaying's fondness for Su Nuannuan grew even stronger. Before, she only thought Nuannuan was pretty. Now, she thought Nuannuan was even prettier, especially when feeding her.

After finishing their meal, Zhao Yalan offered to wash Su Nuannuan's lunchbox.

Su Nuannuan couldn't refuse the other party, so she agreed.

When Zhao Yalan returned, the announcer's anxious voice suddenly rang out on the train.

"Excuse me for taking up a little of your time. Is there a doctor on the train? There's a boy in carriage 13 who's choking on food and is having difficulty breathing. He needs your help. If you're a doctor, please contact us as soon as possible. Thank you!"

All eyes turned to the speakers overhead. The announcer repeated his message twice before stopping.

Everyone thought they had found a doctor, but a moment later the announcer's voice came on again, even more urgent than before.

"The child's face has turned purple and he is having convulsions. Please contact us as soon as possible if you know any treatment methods. Thank you."

As soon as the announcer's voice came out, the once quiet carriage instantly erupted into chaos.

"His face has turned purple, is he about to die?"

"I heard he was a ten-year-old boy. It's such a pity he's gone."

"That's right. It's not easy to raise a child to adulthood, and then they just die like that. What adult could accept that?"

……

The private room was filled with the passengers' sighs of regret.

These days, countless children choke to death, and I've never heard of any of them being saved.

Besides, didn't you hear what the broadcaster said? The child's face had turned purple, and his body had begun to convulse; he was already halfway to the gates of hell.
