Old Mrs. Song wasn't used to using forks, but chopsticks were too long to fit in the lunchbox, and she disliked the small forks, so Old Man Song made her some small chopsticks.
They were merely wood forks, and nobody really paid them any attention.
However, a train conductor who was hurrying by did notice them.
His eyes lit up.
He stopped in front of Song Yunuan and politely asked, "Uh... young student, do you have any extra wooden forks?"
Song Yunuan silently took a metal box from her bag, opened it, and inside were a dozen or so smoothly polished wood forks.
It was like finding what she needed without even looking, effortlessly.
This scene called over a few colleagues who were chatting at the doorway.
They were very surprised, but one of the conductors was rather obstinate and insisted on asking Song Yunuan, "Why do you have so many wooden forks? Aren't chopsticks good enough for eating noodles?"
