Chapter 186 [186] Three Thousand

Tao Yi shook his head: "Don't worry, with these neighbors here, they will take care of them. When you are old, it's not easy to follow us on the train. If something happens, wouldn't it be a good intention to do something bad? It's not worth it. Moreover, you are familiar with them, are our family familiar? Passing for no reason will only add to everyone's embarrassment."

Zhuo Lin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but she didn't insist anymore, because she felt that Tao Yi's words were correct. She had done everything she could, especially now that they had the money for retirement, they no longer had to worry about not having money to cure their illness, so they left the Hou family with Tao Yi with confidence and took the bus to the train station.

When I arrived at the designated location of the train station, I saw the person that my uncle Tao Yi was looking for. Then I went to the special window of the ticket office of the train station with the man and successfully got two upper bunk tickets. Originally, someone intended to prepare lower bunk tickets for them, but Tao Yi refused and said that the upper bunk was enough. At a young age, I would like to have to give it up. Maybe I can't sleep, so why waste that money?

A sleeper top ticket costs nine yuan. This price is not cheap in this era. The lower bunk costs ten yuan per ticket, while an ordinary train ticket costs only three or four yuan. The difference is reflected here.

I bought a sleeping ticket and thanked them very well. The two of them waited until nine o'clock in the evening at the train station before entering the station. Because it was winter, they all prepared all the food and drinks they needed along the way. They also bought Beijing roast duck for their family and brought Jingdezhen bracelets. Because there were too many specialties and there was no time to buy too many, they planned to bring them two things on a holiday. If there were too many parents, they would complain that she would spend money indiscriminately, so she had to save some.

The train from the capital to the southern Henan Province. They need to visit their uncle first, and then go home with the sixth brother Zhuoer. Now Zhuoer lives in the military family courtyard waiting for them. This is a route that has been planned long ago, but the uncle doesn't go with them. She wants to stay here, selling tofu while waiting for his uncle to have a holiday, and then go back to the old house in the countryside to celebrate the New Year together. It is estimated that it will be like his parents, and it will be the year-end.

Although my uncle's family is divided by the army in the provincial capital, and his parents have a house divided by his father in the county town, but the area is not large. If the two families want to get together, they have to go back to their hometown to live together. Zhuo Lin and Tao Yi are not the earliest to go home. Zhuo Yue, Zhuo Yuan, both of them are in the northeast and are preparing to return early. Of course, their journey home is also the hardest.

Perhaps except for her and Tao Yi, the other brothers are all crowded with hard seats, and they have no seats, so it’s hard to say!

The second brother from Shanghai, the third brother from Nanjing, and the fifth brother from Dalian should be home almost the same time as them.

Because it was a sleeper ticket, she didn't rush to enter the station when checking the ticket in the waiting hall. She didn't squeeze in with them. When they were almost the same, Tao Yi carried two big bags. She carried his backpack and carried two bags with the words "Shanghai" in her hand. She slowly entered the station and found her location based on the carriage.

There were many people on the sleeper side, and most of the families who could sit in this position were related, rich and wealthy, so at first glance, they were mostly dressed appropriately. Those who came early had already sat at the bottom of the window and opened the newspaper, put on glasses to read the newspaper. There was also a young mother carrying one on her back and holding one in her hand. The little soldier brought them up and gave them a gift. With the woman's constant thanks, she watched them leave and saw that they were visiting their relatives.

Of course, there are also elderly people who look like retired cadres. The elderly are very particular and bring their own bed sheets and quilt covers. As the old woman chatters, she sees the most down-to-earth portrayal of life.

Tao Yi is worthy of being a soldier. He moved quickly and put two big bags on the luggage rack. The two small bags on the luggage rack on the upper bunk. The food and drink supplies needed on the road were all in his marching bag and placed on the shop for easy access at any time.

Because it was already evening when they got on the bus, they had eaten and drank below. After driving, they lined up to go to the toilet. It was almost time to turn off the lights. The two of them took off their shoes and put them on the upper bunk with their shoes. It was not that they were villainous. They really had to steal shoes, so they had to consider it in a safe direction.

The two of them did not care about making bed sheets, because they were sleeping with clothes, so there was no need.

Their middle shop is two middle-aged people, and the lower shop is a pair of elderly people. On the surface, it is relatively harmonious, but after the lights are turned off, it is not very harmonious. The snoring sounds in the whole car are one after another. Tao Yi, who used to not snore, didn't know if it was because of the fatigue of running around these two days, actually started to snore. Zhuo Lin was really angry and funny, and she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Finally, she was almost dawn and fell asleep.

The next morning, just dawn, a woman and an old man started arguing because they didn't line up to go to the bathroom. Zhuo Lin rubbed her eyes and sat up while yawning, Tao Yi on the opposite side had folded the quilt and leaned there to read the engineering books she didn't understand very much.

He wore a military green shirt and a sweater knitted by his mother. His lower body was blue pants, dark blue socks, and a small flat head without a military cap. He looked cute no matter how he looked. But when he met his angular face, he looked much more resolute and cold.

"Awaken?" He noticed her movements and turned his face to observe her face, "Didn't you sleep well?"

Zhuo Lin rubbed her messy hair and nodded: "Brother, you snored last night. This is the first time I heard you snoring. I haven't heard of it before!"

They are brothers and sisters. Maybe Tao Yi rarely enters her room, but she often goes in and out of her brothers' rooms, so it is normal for him to know that Tao Yi doesn't snore.

The handsome dark face was embarrassed: "Maybe I was too tired yesterday. If you can sleep, you will sleep for a while. If you go to the toilet and walk eastward, there are few people in the carriage there. If you are hungry, we will go to the dining car to have some porridge."

Zhuo Lin looked at the time, then looked at the lively carriage, shook her head: "Let's talk about it at noon, it's hard to fall asleep now."

The people in southern Henan like to drink porridge in the morning because they will feel dry and dry when they sleep all night, so they must drink some thin soup and water to feel that the day has begun.

Zhuo Lin folded the quilt, carried her shoes down, squatted on the ground and put on cotton shoes, took the toothbrush, toothbrush, toothbow, and the towel handed down by her brother, went to the direction of the toilet. There was a pool there. Compared with the crowded hard seat carriage, there were not many people here, and there were two toilets on the left and right. It was her turn before she could sit for a long time.

I went to the toilet first, put the toiletries in the cloth pocket, and hung the cloth pocket in the toilet. When I came out, I went directly to the water room to wash.

This train is a green train that is about to be eliminated in later generations, but it is a very good quality train in this era, so the toilets and the sleepers are clean, so it is not rare.

In the 1970s, most people did not have the habit of brushing their teeth. Even in sleepers, they rarely saw people coming to wash with a toothbrush tank. Most of them washed their faces with their hands, and at most they rinsed their mouths, saving even towels.

Zhuo Lin also felt that this was in line with the current situation. If the Zhuo family had not been corrected by her and Tao Yi over the years, no one would have been able to brush their teeth in the morning and evening. So, when she is old, other elderly people wear dentures, or because their teeth are not good and they cannot eat good food, their teeth are very good.

After Zhuo Lin finished washing up, the brother and sister took an aluminum lunch box to the dining car together. There were not many people coming to the dining car for dinner, and most of them took the guys to the sleeper to eat. As for the hard seats, few people came over.

Zhuo Lin served a bowl of millet porridge and Tao Yi served a bowl of Hu La soup. They brought their own scallion pancakes and tea eggs, soaked them in the bowl, and ate them hot and filled them. Two bowls of soup cost 2 cents, millet porridge cost 5 cents, and Hu La soup has more ingredients, 1 cents, 5 cents. Because it was on the train, it was expensive and it was quite affordable.

The two of them returned to the sleeper berth after eating in the dining cart. There was no place to move, so they were embarrassed to sit down. Fortunately, they grabbed the window and laid a piece of gouzi chess oil paper on the small table. The two of them fought back and forth. Tao Yi did this chessboard himself, in order to pass the time on the train.

Zhuo Lin, who was too focused, did not notice that someone was walking back and forth next to them four times. Tao Yi discovered something was wrong at the first time, but he did not reveal anything. Until the man in leather shoes stood in front of them and forced Tao Yi to look up, his eyes were facing each other. It took only three or four seconds for the man opposite to him to surprise.

"It's really you? Tao Yi?" The middle-aged man was a little excited and grabbed his shoulders.

Tao Yi frowned: "Sorry, comrade, you must have recognized the wrong person."

"Impossible, Tang Chen has told me that I have met you in the capital. This is the first car coming from the capital. You must be right?"

Tao Yi stared at the middle-aged man without turning his eyes, pausing word by word, with a solemn expression: "I don't know you, let go!"

"I am your father, please see clearly, I am your father!"

No matter how excited the middle-aged man was, Tao Yi never recognized him from beginning to end.

"I said, I don't know you. If you do this again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Tao Yi didn't want to admit it, which did not mean that others cooperated with him. Except for Zhuo Lin, who was always silent, the other passengers watching the fun said after carefully comparing the faces of the two people, "Child, you look quite similar to him, and it does look like your father,"

Tao Yi turned his head coldly and angrily retorted without hesitation.

"My dad died ten years ago. How could he be my dad? You don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense!"

Tao Jianguo has never been so embarrassed in his life. Looking at the eldest son who looks like him, he feels painful inside. His fate arranges them to meet, but this son seems to be possessed by evil spirits and treats him like an enemy. In order to get along with his son nearby, he even exchanged his lower bunk for the man in the middle bunk of the middle bunk. The other party happily agreed and left with his own things.
