10. Train to Huangshan
A few days after the New Year, it was the winter vacation, and before the holiday, Lele kept complaining to me that she hadn't seen snow when she was so big, and she was clamoring for me to take her to the north to see the snow. In order to fulfill Lele's wish, after some planning, I finally set the location of my winter vacation trip in Huangshan. Haozi just had a girlfriend recently, and the two were in a period of love, and when he heard that we were going to Huangshan, he also followed him and asked to join.
Naturally, the more people there are, the more lively it is, and I am happy to do this. So as soon as we had a holiday, we went to the travel agency to sign a contract, and then nested at home, recuperating and counting the days of departure with our fingers.
Lele was also full of anticipation for our first "honeymoon trip", although it was still a few days apart, but from the tone of Lele's voice, I could already feel a completely different mood from usual.
On January 24, 2003, we finally set off, because it was a 2:30 noon train, so I had lunch early, packed my luggage and couldn't wait to leave the house.
At the intersection, I saw Lele waiting there.
Lele was wearing a thick pink down coat, with a pair of cute little furballs on the milky white cotton wool, and a black woolen scarf around the neck.
Accustomed to the warm climate of the south, I only wore a thin pullover sweatshirt with a short-sleeved T-shirt that changes all year rounds, and the two of them stood side by side, which always gave people a sense of incongruity.
When Lele saw my outfit, he immediately showed a crying and laughing expression: "You pig's head, the temperature in Huangshan is minus 10 degrees!
"Well, there's clothes in the bag...... It's okay, I'm hardy. "Being reminded by Lele like this, I couldn't help but regret it, but I still carried it on my lips.
"Pig's head!" Lele shrugged helplessly, making an expression of life and death, wealth and wealth.
It's not early, even if I want to go back to get clothes, I'm afraid it's too late, so I had to carry forward the spirit of Ah Q and comfort myself in my heart: "Is it possible that a big living person will be frozen to death?
There were a lot of cars on the road, and we had just put our luggage in the trunk, and when we looked up, there were already seven or eight cars stuck behind the taxis, and the drivers were looking impatiently out of the windows.
I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I hurriedly pulled Lele and jumped into the taxi. Thousands of calculations, even if we didn't count the noon, there would be a traffic jam, and we walked for almost an hour in a fifteen-minute drive.
As soon as I arrived at the square in front of the train station, I saw Haozi and his daughter-in-law from a distance, and the two of them seemed to be waiting a little anxiously. Seeing us coming, Haozi hurriedly raised his arm and shook his watch, indicating that time was running out. The four of us hurriedly met up, and we didn't bother to say hello and ran all the way, and finally caught the train at 2:24.
As soon as I put down my luggage, the train started slowly, which was really dangerous! This carriage was basically filled with people traveling to Huangshan, and the hats of various travel agencies decorated the originally slightly crowded carriage with colorful colors.
After driving, the tour guide came to us to check the name, and then explained a few words and left in a hurry.
What we bought was a lower bunk, two middle bunks and an upper bunk. Because there is only one lower bunk, the four of us had to make do and squeeze together, Haozi's wife is next to Haozi, Haozi is squeezing me, and I am leaning on Lele. Opposite us was a young mother and son, the son was only about ten years old, very naughty, as soon as he got on the train, he played with the little friend he had just met in the carriage, leaving the mother alone to lean quietly on the bed, squinting and thinking about her thoughts.
"Wife, this is my brother Li Xiaobei, that is Xiaobei's daughter-in-law Lele Beauty. Haozi put his hand on the shoulders of me and his daughter-in-law, and introduced them in turn, "Bei Zhu, my wife Xiaofei." ”
"Hello. We smiled at each other and nodded, we knew each other.
Since we didn't know each other very well, we didn't have much to talk about. Xiaofei then took out a bag of mandarin oranges from her backpack, gave it to us, and handed it to the aunt opposite: "Auntie." Xiao Fei said sweetly.
"Thank you. The aunt came back to her senses, hurriedly sat up, and took the mandarin orange in Xiaofei's hand with a smile. Xiaofei naturally sat opposite, and chatted with her aunt like this, and it seemed that the conversation was quite speculative.
As soon as Xiaofei left, the position was suddenly much more spacious, and at Haozi's suggestion, the three of us took out poker and started fighting the landlord. After a few hours, I felt some backache, so I stood up and moved my muscles and bones, and then pulled Lele to sit on the folding chair in the aisle. Lele held her cheek with one hand, hooked my little finger tightly under the table with the other, and looked sideways at the jumping scenery outside the window, gradually falling into a state of confusion.
Haozi was left to dry by us, so he had to be very depressed and gnaw on the chicken feet he bought before getting into the car, and occasionally raised his head to interject a few words in the chat between Xiaofei and the aunt.
After dinner, it gradually began to darken, and the scenery outside the car window was soon out of sight. Haozi rented a mini VCD player from the conductor, climbed into the middle bunk, watched the movie, and didn't forget to let out a silly laugh when she saw the fascination.
"Dead mouse, be quiet. I reminded him several times, but I still couldn't calm him down, so I had no choice but to let him go. Xiaofei and the aunt have been chatting since the afternoon, and they are finally a little tired, so they sat down with us and continued to fight the landlord. After a few rounds, everyone gradually became familiar with each other and joked with each other. It didn't take long for Xiaofei to whisper to us about all kinds of "ugly things" when Haozi chased her, Haozi, who was watching a movie in the middle shop, saw that his old bottom was revealed, and instantly calmed down, and from time to time he stretched out his head in embarrassment, looking down uneasily. Time always flies by in the passing time, and before I know it, a few hours have passed, and when I look up, the naughty child sitting next to me has fallen asleep quietly beside his mother.
Soon the lights on the carriage also went out.
"Go to sleep. Lele got up, patted me on the shoulder, and whispered.
"You go to sleep first, and I'll sit down a little longer. I sat back in my folding chair and shook my head at Lele.
"Okay. Lele agreed as he bent down to take off his shoes and stepped on the escalator, "Go to bed early, I'll get up early tomorrow." Standing on the escalator, Lele turned around and instructed me again, and then climbed to the top bunk, showed a head in my direction, and lay down quietly.
Haozi and Xiaofei slept in the middle bunk, lying on the bed facing each other, still whispering love words. In the dead of night, with the rumbling of the train, I lay on the table in a daze and fell asleep.
