Although there is no wave of part-time jobs in later generations, there are few trains, and tickets are still quite tight. Especially during the Spring Festival, there are many people who return to their hometowns to visit relatives, and this year the college entrance examination has started.

Although it was eight adults and seven children this time, Hao Hao was more than 1.40 meters tall and had to buy an adult ticket. Except for Zhiqiang and Zhiping, the other children are also over 1.2 meters, and they have to buy half a ticket.

The second uncle's comrades-in-arms were particularly powerful, and they bought 10 sleeper tickets, 4 soft sleepers, and 6 hard sleepers, which happened to be two carriages. Half a ticket for other children can be followed in the sleeper compartment.

After the New Year, Gui Jin's parents moved to the second master's house, and the second master vacated the two houses on the east side of the hall house and let them live in it. The second grandmother and Baojing live in two rooms to the west, and Baojing can take care of them at any time.

In this way, Guijin's mother can also help the second grandmother with some housework. Gui Jin's parents' yard was vacant, and more than half an acre of vacant land in front of them had been built with several rows of pigsties, and a tall shed was built in the yard, in which forage could be placed.

Several pigs are raised in this yard, Zhang Liugen took the initiative to take over the work of raising pigs, and people in the village said that his family had set up a pig farm.

Gui Jin went to school, and the second master and Han Deku both gave her 200 yuan to spend on school. Gui Jin couldn't resist them, so he had to catch them. My aunt and uncle gave my mother 500 yuan each, but my mother didn't push it out and accepted it.

In '77, the state resumed the college entrance examination, and it still took care of college students. Not only do you not have to pay a penny to go to school, but the state gives you a living allowance of nearly 20 yuan a month. Hukou is also brought into the school, and food supplies are the same as for state workers.

When you go to college, you only need to prepare for the travel expenses, and the food in the school is still relatively cheap, and it is enough to thrift ten yuan a month. As a result, many students send home the money they save and can help their families.

Not to mention two hundred, it is one hundred yuan, which is also a huge amount of money for current college students. The great unity of ten yuan is definitely higher than the gold content of the 1,000-yuan bill of later generations.

Grandma handed over the consignment point to her aunt, and her aunt and grandfather temporarily moved to Yoyo's house.

The train has not yet been accelerated, and it will take 24 hours a day and a night to get from Rinsui to Kyoto without delay. The second uncle and their train took to the terminal station, and it took three days and two nights to arrive.

In addition to the snacks, the things that grandma brought were milk powder biscuits, and ten catties of sausages were steamed. My aunt boiled a hundred eggs, put them in a large thermos bucket, and took them to eat on the road.

Early in the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the military truck that the second uncle was looking for came, with a canvas shed on the carriage, and it was relatively warm inside. When I went in, there were still a few military quilts in the carriage. Everyone sat in the carriage and wrapped themselves tightly in quilts.

When we arrived at Linshui Railway Station, it was almost ten o'clock, and everyone hurriedly entered the train station at half past eleven in the morning. Since it is a passing bus, you have to wait on the platform half an hour in advance, and the ticket will be checked in at half past ten.

Now the railway station near the water, the platform is open, that is, a hardened concrete floor. The cold wind blew in, and it was really cold. The children are chasing me, I don't think anything, the adults are so cold that they are stamping their feet.

By 11:40 a.m., the train was still nowhere to be seen, the children were crying out that they were hungry, and no one dared to go out to buy food. The second uncle ran over and asked the conductor. They said it was late and didn't know when it would arrive.

After more than ten minutes, a woman, pushing a tricycle, came to sell steamed buns. The buns are served in a dustpan and covered with a clean white cotton mattress. Stuffed with pork and green onion vermicelli, no food stamps, two cents apiece, bigger than the buns in the restaurant, it smells very fragrant.

Although it was almost twelve o'clock, there were very few people who bought steamed buns, and it was customary for people to bring dry food when they went out these days. Only a few people, buy one or two for the children to eat. Dad went to buy thirty, and the woman gave a clean rag of white cotton and wrapped the bun, but charged five cents more for the rag.

Before I could eat it, a whining whistle was heard in the distance, and the ground trembled, and the train came. With the sound of "clang, clang, clang", Yoyo finally saw the real version of the classic green train.

The train slowly stopped at the station, their own tickets were sleepers, and there were not many people on the train, but they were not crowded, and they got on the train smoothly.

Grandpa and grandma are old, and the Yoyo family went to the soft sleeper car, and the second uncle and they went to the hard sleeper car. The train stopped at Linshui Station for twenty minutes, and Grandma left ten buns, twenty eggs, and a few sausages, and asked Dad to send the rest to the second uncle.

The sleeper cars are equipped with thermos filled with boiling water. Grandma took out two enamel tea jars, poured boiling water and cooled. Then he took out a clean towel, poured some hot water, let everyone wipe their hands, and began to eat lunch.

Eating buns, eggs, and sausages, everyone quickly got full. Grandpa and Grandma were tired and lay down on the lower bunk to rest. The three children were in good spirits, and on the way here, the children lay in the carriage and slept all the way.

Yoyo took out the food from the pocket brought by her grandmother, apples, pears, winter dates, pomegranates, and all kinds of snacks, more than a dozen things, in fact, she took them out of the space.

Although they had just finished eating, the three brothers and sisters never stopped eating, eating snacks and looking out of the car window.

When the train finally started, the buildings on both sides fell backwards, and Didi shouted excitedly, "The house is running backwards, and the trees are running backwards." ”

Hao Hao thought for a while and corrected him: "No, it's the train that is running forward." Houses and trees don't run. ”

Didi said impatiently, "I know, but it looks like it's the houses and trees running." ”

Grandpa and Grandma both sat up, looked out the window, and handed them a peeled apple.

Grandpa took the apple and picked it with his hand, and the peel on the outside fell off, a complete strip from beginning to end. He boasted to his grandmother: "The girl is careful, how old is Youyou, this peel is really good." ”

Grandma didn't answer, just looked at Yoyo with a smile. She knew in her heart that this was the masterpiece of the peeler in the space.

Listening to the sound of the train, he remembered a joke in later generations, and told it:

The teacher asked the students to form a sentence with "besides", and one child remembered the sound of the train and wrote: "The train is coming, besides." ”

Hao Hao staggered with a smile, and Didi picked his feet: "It's not those two words, this stupid." ”

The train drove out of Linshui City, in addition to the trees outside the window, there was a village in the distance, Hao Hao and Didi looked at it for a while, and they enjoyed it.

Dad didn't come back, Haohao, Youyou and Didi all climbed to the top bunk, Didi followed Mom, Youyou and Haohao made a bunk, closed the sleeper door, and the family started a lunch break.
