Chapter 546 Is it disgusting?
Cai Quanwu heard this and knew that it was the dead memories attacking him again.
No wonder spies and similar individuals are exposed because of their habits.
Once a habit is formed, it's really not easy to change.
"Okay, then go ahead."
Without any pretense, Cai Quanwu replied, then turned back to sit down by Guan Jiaqi's bedside, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
Just as Cai Quanwu was smoking, Guan Jiaqi's roommate, who had just gone out, pushed open the door and came in.
Where is Guan Jiaqi?
Upon entering, the other party only saw Cai Quanwu and casually asked a question.
"I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face," Cai Quanwu replied with a smile.
"Oh."
The other person said "oh" and didn't say anything more. Then they walked to their bedside, picked up their toiletries, and turned to walk out again.
Seeing the other person leave again, Cai Quanwu threw his almost finished cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
After stubbing out his cigarette, Cai Quanwu walked to Guan Jiaqi's bedside, picked up the thermos, and weighed it in his hand.
They found there was still hot water inside, located Guan Jiaqi's cup, and started preparing the milk powder.
Just as I finished soaking my food, I heard the door open. I turned around and saw Guan Jiaqi come in.
"Really cold."
Guan Jiaqi entered the house and spoke to Cai Quanwu as she walked in.
"What season is it? How can it not be cold?"
"Here, I made you some milk powder, just in time to warm your hands."
When Cai Quanwu heard Guan Jiaqi say she was cold, he pointed to the prepared milk powder on the table and said...
"Uh-huh."
Guan Jiaqi nodded in agreement, then put away the toiletries, quickly picked up the cup, and covered her hands with it.
"You have no idea, when you go to the toilet, the wind blows in from the tunnel and it freezes you to death."
"Sigh, peeing is fine, it only takes a short time, but if I had to poop, my butt would probably freeze off."
Holding her cup, Guan Jiaqi whispered to Cai Quanwu about the cold weather.
However, Cai Quanwu deeply sympathized with Guan Jiaqi's complaints.
Guan Jiaqi complained, not to mention Cai Quanwu.
There are many things that Cai Quanwu finds difficult to get used to in this era.
One of them is going to the toilet.
There were no public toilets back then; they were mostly public restrooms.
It's a public toilet!
The smell was terrible in the summer, and maggots crawled all over the ground.
In winter, the cold wind blows so hard that your butt will freeze off.
Unlike later on, not only in cities, but also in rural areas, many families now have bathrooms.
However, there's not much to say about this situation; nothing will change in the short term. We can only wait for the city to develop and things to change gradually.
In any case, nothing will change in the next few decades.
Knowing the situation, Cai Quanwu didn't want to embarrass himself by discussing it with Guan Jiaqi.
So he changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's eat soon. Talking about this is disgusting."
"What's so disgusting about that? I've seen people eat while using the toilet."
"If you feel nauseous, it's because you've never been hungry."
"When you're starving, who cares about feeling disgusted? You're lucky if you can even get something to eat."
"Haven't you seen it before?"
Guan Jiaqi looked at Cai Quanwu with an expression that said, "You've never seen the world," and began to recount what she had seen before, ending with a question.
Cai Quanwu didn't really know how to answer Guan Jiaqi's question for a while.
Cai had no recollection of whether the original owner of this body had experienced it.
Cai Quanwu seemed to recall such a thing.
However, this is different from what Guan Jiaqi said.
In Cai Quanwu's memory, it was a child with candy in his mouth who needed to go to the toilet but didn't want to spit it out.
I don't recall ever having Cai Quanwu eat while using the toilet.
When Cai had no memories of his previous life, it was almost the 1990s. Although not every household could afford to eat their fill, they weren't starving.
Cai Quanwu had never heard anyone mention that he hid in the toilet to drink.
It wasn't because they weren't getting enough to eat, but because of alcoholism.
"Can not remember."
"Some things, after a long time, who can still remember them?"
Not knowing how to answer, Cai Quanwu simply used the amnesia technique and pretended to be confused.
"real or fake?"
Guan Jiaqi was somewhat skeptical of Cai Quanwu's words.
This kind of thing should be memorable.
"Really, why would I lie to you?" Cai Quanwu said sincerely. To avoid Guan Jiaqi pressing him for details, he immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, hurry up and eat some steamed buns."
As Cai Quanwu spoke, he picked up the oil paper package on the table, opened it, took out a steamed bun, and handed it to Guan Jiaqi.
He refused to believe that food couldn't shut Guan Jiaqi up.
Sure enough, upon smelling the delicious aroma of the steamed buns, Guan Jiaqi smiled and said:
"I didn't realize it until now, but the smell of the steamed buns has actually made me a little hungry."
Seeing the steamed buns handed over by Cai Quanwu, Guan Jiaqi, who was holding the cup with both hands, loosened one hand to take the buns and smelled them.
"Then eat it, it'll get cold soon," Cai Quanwu urged with a smile.
After so much time, the steamed buns are no longer very hot; they're just not completely cold yet.
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Guan Jiaqi nodded, picked up the steamed bun, and put it in her mouth.
Guan Jiaqi took a bite and started eating. After finishing, she praised, "Steamed buns are still the best. The cornbread in the cafeteria is too hard on the throat."
"Eat more if you like it," Cai Quanwu joked with a smile.
"No need, one is enough. There's still milk powder, we can't waste it."
When Guan Jiaqi heard Cai Quanwu tell her to eat more, she immediately shook her head and refused.
"That's up to you."
Cai Quanwu did not continue to persuade him.
People of this generation have the idea of thrift deeply ingrained in their bones.
Cai had no intention of changing their minds.
Seeing that Cai Quanwu didn't continue to persuade her, Guan Jiaqi was about to take her second bite when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I definitely ate it."
"Don't worry about me, just eat."
Cai Quanwu gave an affirmative answer, and then urged him on.
He didn't lie.
His thinking is different from that of people of this era; how could he possibly mistreat himself?
After brushing my teeth and washing my face in the morning, I went into my rented room and ate a bowl of hot beef noodles.
Otherwise, how would he have the strength to ride a bicycle so far?
"If you've eaten, then I'll eat."
Relieved to receive a positive response, Guan Jiaqi then began to eat her steamed buns.
It was unclear whether it was the noise from Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi talking that bothered her, or the aroma of the steamed buns that stirred up her hunger.
Just as Guan Jiaqi was eating her steamed buns, the other girls in the dorm who had been sleeping got up and dressed one after another.
Cai Quanwu only knew them, not the others, so he simply smiled and nodded at them as a greeting.
Guan Jiaqi asked the others while eating, "Are you all up?"
"The steamed buns smell so good, I can't stay in bed!"
"I was hoping to save a meal."
"Sigh, it's all because we don't have a good man."
When Guan Jiaqi asked them a question, one of them joked with the older woman.
Hearing this, Guan Jiaqi felt a little embarrassed.
The facts are indeed as they say.
When they're resting, these women tend to get up late if they're not going home, trying to save on a meal if possible.
Although a meal doesn't cost much, every penny saved counts.
"There are also steamed buns here..."
In a moment of desperation, Guan Jiaqi blurted out.
"Just kidding, we haven't even brushed our teeth or washed our faces yet."
Before Guan Jiaqi could finish speaking, the woman who had spoken earlier interrupted her with a smile.
Joking aside, how could I possibly eat someone else's food?
Every household has enough food.
"You two continue, we're leaving."
The older woman said something, grabbed her toiletries, and called to the others to go out together.
Cai Quanwu remained silent throughout.
I really don't know what to say.
After the others left, Guan Jiaqi finished her steamed bun in a few bites, and then drank the milk powder in her cup in one go.
Why the rush?
Upon seeing this, Cai Quanwu asked.
"To avoid embarrassing anyone else."
Guan Jiaqi put the empty cup on the small table, picked up her thermos, poured water into the cup, and answered.
After pouring the water, Guan Jiaqi remembered Cai Quanwu's words and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
