The train had been traveling for over three hours, during which time the little boy had finished all the milk powder pieces and rainbow candies in the plastic bag.
There was drinking water and paper cups in the carriage. He wasn't tall enough, so he coquettishly asked passing uncles and aunts to help him get some water.
The delicate little child, like a snow doll, sat on a suitcase, watching the vendor in the carriage push a small cart, selling boxed meals and snacks.
The vendor had walked back and forth several times, and the little boy was staring eagerly at the array of snacks and meals on the cart before her.
Crucially, at this time, many people in the carriage started having lunch; some went to make instant noodles, and after adding hot water, the aroma of the noodles wafted out.
Some were eating hamburgers and chicken wings; the aroma of the fried foods made the boy quietly gulp.
In the lab, he had never eaten such foods.
