Chapter 441: Just Have Money
On the third day of the trip, the train finally arrived on the shores of Lake Baikal.
The four-hour journey around the lake is no longer monotonous, bidding farewell to the desolate Gobi, with the blue water and thick white clouds outside the window, and of course this slightly long journey is only an understatement in front of the entire huge Baikal Lake.
Huo Jinwei and Li Beilan seem to have not seen their elders and granddaughters for a long time, since last night, Huo Jinwei has invited Li Beilan to come to her box to rest, which also allows Li Beilan, who has endured snoring for a few days, to get a night of peace.
The two sat on chairs in the hallway, looking out the window, hoping that the journey would be a little slower and longer.
"Grandma, if you send out a new book, you must notify me. Huo Jinwei said with a smile: "I will definitely cheer when the time comes." β
"That's good!" Li Beilan's trip was to create the last poetry collection, but she didn't expect to meet Lin Dingqiang and Huo Jinwei during the journey, which also made the ordinary journey full of freshness.
"When the time comes, I'll give Grandma Li a room. Lin Dingqiang responded: "Hold a grand book launch." β
"Xiaolin, you have spoken to Beilan's heart. Grandpa Jiang Dengke quipped: "She wants to have a press conference in her life." β
Lin Dingqiang thought for a while, "No problem! When the time comes, we will invite some more people to sit in the formation to boost grandma's morale!"
"You two little ones," Li Beilan smiled from ear to ear, she didn't know the identities of the two, it was all the juniors who said something nice to make themselves happy, "Just have this heart." β
"Ding Qiang never jokes. Huo Jinwei said seriously: "If you open in the capital, then we will definitely keep our promise." β
"I really don't need to, I just write for fun. Li Beilan said humbly.
"Grandma, you're not telling the truth. Lin Dingqiang smiled: "Yesterday, Jinwei and I already knew your identity. β
Li Beilan asked curiously: "Oh?
"Isn't that right?" Huo Jinwei continued: "When you were young, you were one of the top ten young female poets in the new century, and you have published many articles in journals such as "People's Literature", "Chinese Writers", and "Stars". Can't this kind of achievement be called identity?"
"It's all in the past, I'm just a retired old lady now. β
"Jiang is still old and spicy!" Lin Dingqiang responded: "It's decided, your new book launch, the two of us will do it for you." β
Jiang Dengke held Li Beilan's shoulder, "Beilan, you have to hurry up and create." Don't let down the hopes of your juniors. β
Li Beilan didn't know what to say, "Okay, then we'll make a decision." β
The four-hour journey became incredibly fast in the company of the right people, and at the end of the lakeside trip, the train stopped for two minutes in the lakeside town of Slyudyanka, in the southwestern corner of Lake Baikal.
Although this is one of the stations with the shortest stop time for the K3 train, the beautiful marble station building of Slyudyanka is already deeply imprinted in the minds of passengers.
The stationhouse, which has the same fairy tale flavor as the station's name, has been described as overly ornate by the Lonely Planet travel guide. With its quaint stone faΓ§ade and green roof, it is the most beautiful of the 35 stations that K3 stops along the way.
Li Beilan and Jiang Dengke were about to get off at this station, Lin Dingqiang helped them carry their luggage, and because of the short standing time, they couldn't send it far, so they had to say goodbye on the platform.
Huo Jinwei held Li Beilan's hand and said reluctantly: "Grandma, we are about to separate when we meet." β
"There's still a chance. β
"Is someone coming to pick you up and grandpa?" Huo Jinwei said with concern.
Li Beilan nodded, "Don't worry, someone from the Poetry Club will come here to pick us up." β
"That's good. Huo Jinwei breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "You and grandpa must take care of your health, and we will see you in the capital." β
"Jinwei, remember what Grandma said. Li Beilan leaned closer and said, "Don't care about the past and the present, what you want is the future." β
Huo Jinwei smiled: "Okay, I remember." β
"Beilan, it's almost time. Jiang Dengke took the suitcase in Lin Dingqiang's hand and urged: "Hurry up and let the children get in the car, otherwise they will stay in Siliujiang with us." β
"Good, good. Li Beilan said reluctantly: "Xiaolin, Jinwei, we'll see you in the capital." β
Lin Huo and the others got on the train and watched the departure of the second elder, and the K3 train, which had stopped for a short time, also set sail again and continued its journey.
"It's the third day and we have three days left. Huo Jinwei looked at the back of the second elder and said slowly, "Who else will we meet?"
Lin Dingqiang shrugged his shoulders, what he saw was the picture of Jiang Dengke holding Li Beilan's hand tightly, and longing: "I really envy their relationship." β
"Oh, do you still have envy?" Huo Jinwei quipped: "It seems that the future you want is also very simple!"
"It's always been simple. Lin Dingqiang responded: "What do I not want?"
The two walked towards the box, and Huo Jinwei smiled: "You're still afraid that you don't have any extravagance." β
"Is there one?"
"She is on the other side of the ocean!" Huo Jinwei broke through Lin Dingqiang's thoughts, and said slowly: "Xin Qing's journey has also started for three days, I don't know how she is doing." β
"It should be okay!" Lin Dingqiang said this, and he was also very worried in his heart, after all, Xin Qing was alone over there, "Didn't you read her ins and circle of friends?"
"I watch it every night!" Huo Jinwei replied, "But except for the photo on the street corner, it hasn't been updated!"
Lin Dingqiang said frankly: "I also sent her a message, but she didn't reply to me." β
"Could it be that something is going on. Huo Jinwei's cold question instantly made the two nervous, and Lin Dingqiang hurriedly took out the phone, "I'll call her." β
And the train shuttling through the mountains and forests causes the signal to be intermittent, and there is no way to dial it out.
"Oh, no. Huo Jinwei used the Menggu traffic number she bought on the first night to see the news that Xin Qing updated a minute ago, "She updated!"
Lin Dingqiang turned his head to see that Xin Qing in the photo was sitting in an apartment, and there was a notebook on the table next to him.
However, from the shadows that could not be seen clearly, Lin Dingqiang could roughly guess what he was writing.
"You can't really be a writer, do you?" said Lin Dingqiang.
Huo Jinwei blinked, "Xin Qing still has this ability?"
"yes, I joked that if she didn't teach or do it, she could become a writer. Lin Dingqiang frowned and said, "Is this a prophecy?"
"You don't put gold on your face," Huo Jinwei glanced at Lin Dingqiang, "That's Xin Qing is talented, unlike you, you have to wrap up the circle at every turn, and you don't have any pen and ink." β
"Hehe, just like Guan Lan said, I'm the master!" Lin Dingqiang quipped: "If you have money, you can do it!"
