On March 8, Wang Ziyan called Li Hu and asked about the outcome of the matter.

As a result, Li Hu sent him the money that night.

A check for a full 120,000.

plus the previous 88,000 yuan, in addition to the more than 1,800 yuan spent recently, there are 206,200 yuan left on the body.

Wang Ziyan bought a bag of fruit, stuffed the business card into it, and then sent Li Hu away.

Wang Ziyan took the check and thought about it, and finally decided to leave for Xiangjiang immediately.

But before that, he had to take a leave of absence, or take a leave of absence.

I can't tell my family yet, and I need to come back often.

Yes, he decided to hide it from his family for the time being and take a leave of absence from school to earn money.

Then Wang Ziyan began to prepare for the south.

The first thing I had to do was to exchange the checks, then buy a suitcase, and then buy a few clothes that would fit on the countertop.

On March 11, Wang Ziyan came to school, finished his morning self-study, and came to the head teacher's office after running laps.

As soon as the head teacher heard that he was going to suspend school, he was so happy that he automatically ignored Wang Ziyan's request to come back to class next year.

He wished that a thug like him would never come back, not to mention that he had found a reason to take a sick leave, even if he didn't come back without saying a word, he couldn't ask for it.

The director agreed without hesitation, and personally helped him go through the formalities, and he didn't want the cases and hospital certificates that should have been required.

After Wang Ziyan talked to the head teacher about the suspension, Shi Shiran walked out of the head teacher's office, returned to the class, leaned against the back door of the class, and looked at the group of people in the class.

He felt a little funny and a little bored. He clearly remembered that these classmates of his, when they graduated from high school, they were all swearing, and their brothers and friends were very affectionate.

But after graduation, these people never got together again.

Wang Ziyan didn't want to have too much contact with these people in his life, except for a very few people.

Just after class in the afternoon, Wang Ziyan got the sick leave certificate, packed his schoolbag and things in the dormitory, and then left the school.

In this way, Wang Ziyi quietly disappeared from the school, except for the girl who watched him walk out of the class with a little love in her eyes, no one in the whole school paid attention to where he went, and no one asked.

Back at the rental house, I dragged my suitcase and off we went.

At 02:55 a.m. on March 12, 1996, the 161st express train slowly left Zhuolu Railway Station and headed for Huating Railway Station, 650 kilometers away.

There are 18 sleepers for sale in this train, and the carriages are camping cars, that is, places for train attendants to rest in shifts, and they are generally hung at the front or rear of the train. There are four berths in a box, which is more comfortable than those hard sleepers that I have ridden in my previous life, but not as comfortable as soft sleepers.

In the No. 1 box near the door, there was a young man with slightly dark skin, about 178cm tall, with a strong body, a handsome face and a little childishness.

The man put the backpack on the bed, opened the suitcase again, took out the clothes, fruits and toiletries from the suitcase, took out two boxy packages from the backpack, put them at the bottom of the suitcase, and then stuffed some unused things into the box.

After tidying up his things and stuffing the boxes under the bed, the young man took the basin and toiletries and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

There are very few people in the carriage, and the 100 yuan sleeper ticket is not something that everyone can afford, especially on this train full of southbound workers.

After a night of back pain, he woke up at dawn, and was woken up by the noise in the train.

Apparently there was no running exercise on the train, so I did 200 squats, 100 sit-ups, and 200 push-ups on the train, and then stopped exercising.

The rapid high-dose exercise made him sweat all over his body, and the clothes on his body were soaked, and the panting Wang Ziyan took out a bottle of water and poured the whole bottle in one go, and then took out a few tissues to wipe the sweat.

After a short rest, Wang Ziyan took out the clothes and a change of underwear he bought yesterday from his backpack, and went to the bathroom with a towel and toiletries in a small basin.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth, washed my hair, and after I was done, I got water from washing my hands and went into the bathroom.

There was also a faucet in the bathroom, so he stripped off his clothes and hung them on the window handle, took water from the towel faucet and scrubbed them briefly, and quickly picked up the basin of water and slowly poured it on his body.

Wring out the towel to dry my body, I changed into the clothes I bought yesterday, threw the wet clothes into the trash, and then returned to the box with my things.

Wang Ziyan, who had put his things away, rested for a while, ran to the dining car next door to have a simple breakfast, returned to the carriage and took out his books and began to read again.

The sun had come out, and the sunlight was shining through the car window from the far side, and it was sprinkled on Wang Ziyan's body, and on the train on this midsummer morning, it was warm but not scorching.

At about half past six in the morning, the train entered the Nandu Railway Station with a long whistle.

The train will stay at Nandu Station for half an hour, mainly to make way for other express trains, after all, at this time, the railway resources are not as developed as the era of high-speed rail in the previous life, and the trains are also fast and slow, Wang Ziyan's train is the K prefix, the slow one is the number number, and the faster ones are the T prefix and the Z prefix.

The train slowly stopped, and after looking at the bustling crowd outside, Wang Ziyan put down the book in his hand and stood up, stuffed his wallet into his jeans pocket, got up and walked out of the carriage, got off the train, and came to the platform to prepare for a change of air.

Although Nandu Station is very noisy in the early morning, the air is still fresh and not particularly dirty.

Wang Ziyan, who was standing on the platform, stretched his waist and expanded his chest, which was much more comfortable than nesting on a small hard bed. Looking at the old train platform in front of you, the crowd rushing back and forth, and then looking back at the slightly dirty green train, everything seems illusory and real.

At this time, the windows of the green train can still be opened.

Now a black head poked out of the window, holding a bill of a few cents in his hand, shouting at the vendors who gathered in front of the windows to buy this and that.

One by one, the vendors carried baskets containing various goods, collected money, handed over things, made change, and continued with another one, making noise and disturbance.

This scene is vivid and lively, full of the breath of life.

Wang Ziyan felt as if he was in an old movie from the nineties, looking at this scene in front of him with emotion. If he has a camera or a mobile phone that can take pictures now, he will definitely be willing to take pictures of this scene to leave an unforgettable memory for himself, or to open the eyes of his children who have never seen this scene in front of him in the future.

The whistle sounded on the opposite platform, and it was slowly moving in a train bound for Yangcheng, the same green car.

After the reform and opening up, Pengcheng, a national demonstration special zone, was established under the expectations of the elderly, and Yangcheng, which is close at hand, has naturally become a bridgehead, and the tide of southward work has lasted for nearly 30 years. It was not until the western region developed to a certain extent that this situation was alleviated, and a large number of labor shortages occurred in the eastern provinces and cities.

Although it is already summer, it is not in the peak period of southward travel, and most people go south to work at the beginning of the year, and then at the end of the year, they return to their hometowns like migratory birds returning to their nests. However, there are also some special circumstances, such as another special phenomenon created by the southward migrant work tide, that is, the lonely nest elderly and left-behind children.

It was this kind of scene that greeted Wang Ziyan: men and women, old and young, on the platform, dragging their families and mouths shuttling back and forth on the platform, and noisy shouts came and went. Snakeskin pockets, hand luggage, trolley suitcases that have just become popular, and even large packages wrapped in sheets. A variety of forms of luggage reflect the people's yearning for a better life.

Wang Ziyan looked at everything in front of him with a little obsession, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, he never thought that he would have a chance to experience it all again. He was very familiar with this platform, this train station, and even the city, having lived in the city for more than ten years in his previous life.

He went to college in Nandu, and it was very, very close to the train station, just two stops away, and his girlfriend Lu Min went to school in Xinwu, which was only more than a hundred kilometers away.

It is also the first time that the two have been separated so far, and they are tired of being together almost every day in their love life for more than three years, and of course this separation can't stand it.

So the two of them meet almost every week, and the young man and woman who have tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time are in love, how can they give up the slightest chance to meet?

This lasted for almost two years, and trains were the most common means of transportation.

At that time, both of them were freshmen, Wang Ziyan had no classes on Friday, and Lu Min had no classes on Monday morning and Friday afternoon. The two of them spend as much time rolling sheets and playing outside as much time as they do at school, so they come to this train station almost 2-3 times a week.

Either Wang Ziyan came back from Xinwu and passed by this platform, or he sent Lu Min away. This platform has become the most familiar place for him, the most familiar scenery.

After the second semester of his sophomore year, Wang Ziyan became a minister of the Youth League Committee of the college, and gradually became busy and went less. Lu Min gradually came less, either in the student union, or in the class reunion.

It wasn't until one day in April that a man's call hit Wang Ziyan's mobile phone that he knew he was green.

After graduating, he worked in Gusu City until 08 years, and after getting married, he was tapped by a headhunting company and returned to Nandu again, working, having children, starting a business, buying a second house, until he was reborn and returned to the present.

It can be said that the city is carved into his bones, revealing a sense of familiarity everywhere.

Wang Ziyan stood on the platform, looking at the scene in front of him, his thoughts fluttering.

When he was about to drive, he came back to his senses at the rapid whistle of the conductor, ran to a stall on a platform, bought a bag of jam bread, and chose a bag of pickled pepper and phoenix feet, with a total price of 2 yuan 5.

When Wang Ziyan returned to the carriage, the box that was originally somewhat empty was already full, and three more people came up at Nandu Station.
