Chapter 166 [166] On the train (3000)

The uncle had dark skin and pleated faces. He looked like an authentic old farmer. He had never gone far away and quickly pulled his daughter to the front.

"My daughter has also been admitted to a university in Beijing. That classmate, which school do you go to?"

Tao Yi saw that the old man was cautious and looked nervous, and he was obviously afraid that he would not be familiar with the place and touch the wrong place when he went to Beijing. If he could meet a familiar person on the train and accompany him, he might feel much more at ease. Moreover, there were fewer bad people in this era than everyone thought.

He thought for a while, "My sister goes to Huaqing, where are you?"

Even though my uncle had never been to school, he heard his daughter tell us which one of our first institution in China was, and his eyebrows were filled with admiration.

"Oh, that's a good school. My daughter is not bad either. After being admitted to Renmin University, I just don't know. I don't know whether these two schools are far apart? Classmates, we don't know the road. Look, can we walk together?"

Tao Yi saw that the girl kept her head down and didn't speak. She thought she was an introvert. Moreover, the distance between Renmin University and Huaqing was not far, only three or four kilometers away, so he nodded: "Okay, uncle, then let's get off the bus and let's go together. These two schools are not far apart."

"Oh, that's good, which village do you belong to?"

Tao Yi shook his head and didn't say anything. The uncle looked at him with a simple face. In the end, her daughter saw something.

"Dad, are you checking your household registration?"

The honest father was stunned, then looked at his daughter with a blushing face and nodded violently, "Dad has asked a little too much."

The air in the car was not good. Even if you were sitting at the airy door, Zhuo Lin had dry retching several times due to the stuffy car environment.

Tao Yi took out a military kettle and handed it to her: "Drink some water, do you want to eat something?"

Zhuo Lin shook his face a little ugly: "I can't eat anymore, I can't eat it. Brother, are you sleeping? Leave me on a little while,"

"No, I'm not sleepy. Since you are awake, just sit for a while and I'll see if I can get a ticket to the sleeper."

As soon as Tao Yi stood up, Zhuo Lin pulled him down again.

"Forget it, the sleeper is so expensive, and we've all sat here. It's not easy to carry it with a large bag of small bags. So save money and let's have a few good meals in Beijing."

Zhuo Lin slept for a while and was a little more energetic. The girl who had just been silent woke up when she saw the beautiful Zhuo Lin, and then stopped talking, she boldly leaned over.

"Student, which major did you get into Huaqing?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "Where are you in the Department of Medicine? You have also been admitted to Huaqing?"

The girl shook her head shyly, "I think, but it's a little bit bad. I went to the Chinese Department of Renmin University. Your brother just said that the two schools are not far away. Let's get to know each other. They are both from City X. What's the fellow villager? My name is Shan Chun. I'm twenty years old this year. What's your name?"

"Hello sister Shan Chun, my name is Zhuo Lin, I'm two years younger than you." Before she could finish her words, Shan Chun's pupils instantly magnified when she heard her name.

"Oh my God, you might be Zhuo Lin, the top scorer in our province, right? That 15-year-old genius girl?"

Uh... Zhuo Lin didn't expect that she was so famous. She saw the eyes of the people around her looking at her and waved her hands repeatedly.

"No sister, you misunderstood. Just a name and surname. I'm eighteen, not fifteen,"

Having said that, Shan Chun still knew that she was a genius Zhuo Lin at first glance. She was a little afraid of strangers, especially Tao Yi's eyes were too cold, which made her dare not speak. However, Zhuo Lin, a little girl, seemed easy to get along with, and before they knew it, the two of them had more topics. Seeing that her daughter was enlightened, Shan's father was relieved. He was afraid that her daughter would be timid when she arrived at school and would not dare to speak. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.

While Zhuo Lin and Shan Chun were chatting next to each other, Tao Yi gradually leaned against the door and slept.

The journey with companionship seems less difficult. In this era, few people buy things on the train, and they all bring them themselves, and they are no exception.

The brother and sister brought salted duck eggs and boiled eggs. They could only eat them once this day, not overnight, otherwise they would be smelly.

Wang also made dried sesame cakes, stone cakes, and earthen buns for her child. These dry foods were very dry, which were considered snacks for her.

These foods can be stored even in hot summers.

There are also homemade shredded pickled cabbage and Shandong mixed grain pancakes. Put two green onions and shredded pickled cabbage in the pancakes. You can just bite it and eat it directly.

The variety of things happened to Meng Shanchun, because the father and daughter brought them all with black steamed buns and didn’t even have a dish, let alone eggs and duck eggs.

Neither brother nor sister were stingy people, so they took it out and shared it with them, but they didn't want it. In the end, Zhuo Lin forced them to give them a duck egg.

"This is marinated by my mother myself, so delicious. You only eat steamed buns and taste the duck eggs."

A duck egg moved the father and daughter so much that they had to give them steamed buns, Zhuo Lin took it over. This was the minimum politeness. If you didn't give them someone, you would be embarrassed to eat duck eggs. This politeness is two-way. No one thinks that it is natural for him to give you anything.

Compared to the stuffy daytime heat, it’s better at night, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, which sounds annoying.

They kept going until the middle of the night before falling asleep. Zhuo Lin and Shan Chun fell asleep together. After all, they were girls. There were many men around them. The two girls leaned against the innermost part, which was much safer. Shan’s father and Tao Yi supported each other to sleep. In a difficult environment, if they were accommodated, they would remember each other for a lifetime.

The train stopped and stopped, and without realizing it, it was dawn with the sound of clanging.

It is impossible to wash your face and brush your teeth. It is amazing to be able to drink with some hot water.

I don’t know how to eat breakfast and dinner. Anyway, I’ll eat cakes when I’m hungry, eat snacks, and drink water when I’m thirsty. Finally, I waited until the evening before the train arrived in the capital.

The train is the terminal station, and their door is still the exit, so everyone tried their best to move back and give the conductor the seat. Naturally, they were the first few people when they got off the train. The station was very cool. A gust of wind blew, and Zhuo Lin took a deep breath, "It's not easy, it's counted,"

The four of them were carrying heavy luggage and staggering to look for the subway. Compared with her life, the National Day trial operation in 1969 was officially launched in 1971, which was one year earlier. It was no longer than the previous life that required a certificate of work and a letter of introduction to take it. In this life, you can take it as long as you have money. The one-way ticket price is one cent.

Although it is not a direct way, it is much better than the buses that are rushing around. At this time, the subway is sold manually and released manually, and each person costs one cent. Shan’s father and Shan Chun hesitated for a moment when they heard the ticket price and did not rush to buy it. Instead, they calculated the cost in their minds. Shan Chun also knew that it was not easy for his father, and was about to tell the brother and sister that otherwise they would exchange for a cheaper bus (five cents), Tao Yi bought four tickets directly.

"We are all tired all the way, hurry up and find a place to rest. Let's go, we invite you to take a ride."

Without getting along with the old father, the brother and sister pulled one into the station. This was their first time doing the subway.

"It turns out that the subway is similar to the train!"

“It’s not the same, there are few subway seats, many stations, very clean and low noise,”

The father and daughter looked here with a novel look on their faces and touched it. The brother and sister here were already sitting in their seats tired and yawning.

Before the subway was taken to the terminal, he got off early and took the bus. After walking a few stops, Tao Yi said to the father and daughter.

"Uncle, look, the National People's Congress is here, it's late tonight, and I don't know if the school is located. Otherwise, you can go to a hotel near Huaqing with us? You see, we have to open two rooms, plus you, there are two rooms. We pay, and you don't have to pay, do you want to go and rest together?"

After getting along the way, the old father was embarrassed to take advantage of the two children, but in this situation, there was really no extra money for his family. He originally didn't use it this time, but he just couldn't worry about his old daughter, so he followed him. He didn't know that going out was so difficult and he had to spend money everywhere, but their family didn't even have to pay for the girl's living expenses. Fortunately, there were free meals to eat in college, and the family had a large population, so he would rely on his daughter in the future.

Finally, the father and daughter followed the brother and sister out of the car with shamelessness. The four of them took out their letter of introduction and found a guesthouse to live in. The shop said that the shop cost one cent a night and the shop cost 50 cents a night. Tao Yi opened two rooms. When the father and daughter asked to go to the shop, Tao Yi stopped him and said that there were many bad people outside, so be careful not to lose the big picture because of the small amount. Besides, the rooms were all opened, and they were persuaded to persuade the people to stay.

Because I was already very tired, no one asked to go for a meal or something. I took out the dry food and mixed it with boiling water to make dinner, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. In the 1970s, it was another standard room that cost 50 cents a night, so there was naturally a shower, but it was not hot water, but cold water.

Even with the cold water, Zhuo Lin washed it well, and she shivered while washing it. However, after using soap, it immediately smelled fragrant, and her hair was not so greasy. She put on clean clothes and felt refreshed.

Seeing that Zhuo Lin was clean and fragrant, Shan Chun went in and washed her. When she came out, she saw Zhuo Lin making bed sheets with one sheet under her body. She was very strange: "What are you doing?"

"The quilts in the guesthouse must be unclean. I don't know how many people have slept and covered them, so I have to use my own to rest assured."

Shan Chun had long seen that the brother and sister were very particular about humanity, so naturally they would not say that they were pretentious. She only had one bed sheet and didn't plan to take it out, and she was not qualified to dislike it because she was not very clean, so after taking a shower, she changed into a shirt and pants that were half-new, and then lay down to sleep.

In the summer, there are actually many people who wear long-sleeved shirts. They only wear sweatshirts when there is no one in their home. When they go out, they mostly cover them tightly, unlike Zhuo Lin. They are wearing short-sleeved shorts made of thin floral gauze specially pulled for her by Wang. In the summer, they are comfortable sleeping with their neck, arms, and calves exposed.
