In the end, I don't know what happened, but most of the people in the village knew that Song's father and Song Xiaoling were going to Haishi to visit relatives.

There are also many people who come to Song's house and want them to give them something.

They were all neighbors, and they were embarrassed to refuse, so the Song family could only agree.

But too many people asked to carry things, so Song's mother said to the visitor: "If you want to carry things, you have to give the money first, otherwise we won't have so much money to pay you in advance." ”

Because the autumn harvest has just ended, everyone also has a few spare money in their hands, so when Song Mu said this, most people still agreed.

After all, if you think about it from another perspective, it is impossible for anyone to come up with so much money at once, and then there is a little more, if someone buys it back, you don't want it anymore, then whose is it!

So on the morning of the third day, Song's father and Song Xiaoling were riding bicycles, carrying a huge sum of money and a long shopping list in their pockets.

The back seat was loaded with a large bag of things that had been brought to the Gu family and sailed towards the commune.

After arriving at the commune, Song's father saved his bicycle at Director Zhang's house.

took Song Xiaoling again, carried an oversized sack, and hired an ox cart to go to the city.

Song's father and Song Xiaoling did not go to the county seat this time, and then made a car to the city.

That's too much trouble, and the two of them bring a lot of things.

Anyway, there was plenty of time, so the two of them went directly to City D in an ox cart.

The train ticket was bought by Song's father and the factory director, not only that, but even the money for Gu Qingsong and them was done by the factory director.

The train ticket was two sleeper tickets, and it was difficult to buy sleeper tickets at this time, not only the price was high, but it was only sold to the cadre class.

So there are not particularly many people in the sleeper compartment.

Father Song and Song Xiaoling took the train tickets and hurried towards the train station.

Director Qian and Xu Xiuxiang wanted to send them, but Song's father did not agree.

Because Song's father directly asked the ox cart to pull them to the train station, and Director Qian and Xu Xiuxia still had to go to work.

So Father Song and Song Xiaoling went to the train station by themselves.

When the two arrived at the train station, the time card was very tight.

The train was five o'clock in the evening, and when they arrived at the train station, it was already half past four in the evening.

The two hurriedly entered the station and hurriedly checked the tickets.

By the time I got to the sleeper car, it was winter, but I was already sweating.

Song Xiaoling observed that the train sleeper car of this era, with two bunk beds, and beige sheets and quilt covers on top, looked and felt very clean.

The train tickets for Song's father and Song Xiaoling are bunk beds on one side, and Song Xiaoling said: "Dad, you sleep in the lower bunk, and you can see things at night." ”

Song's father thought that it would be safer for his daughter to sleep on the top bunk, so he agreed.

When the two got on the train this time, not only did they carry a bag of hemp, but Song Xiaoling also took a smaller basket with a lid.

Of course, this is to disguise the space.

Now Song Xiaoling took their dinner tonight from the back basket (in the space).

After a brief dinner, the two took turns to go to the bathroom to wash up, and then fell asleep directly.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, a slight sound sounded in the carriage, and Song Xiaoling felt that it should be the person from the sleeper opposite who got on the train.

The voices of the two were not loud, Song Xiaoling just woke up for a while, and then fell asleep again.

At six o'clock the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Song Xiaoling woke up, but she didn't get up.

Instead, he lay on the bed and tidied up the things in the space.

Before getting into the car, Song's father was afraid that he would lose it with too much money, so he asked Song Xiaoling to put the money and shopping list in her space.

So when she got up in the morning, because there was nothing to do, Song Xiaoling didn't get down from the bunk in a hurry.

She was now comparing the items on the list to see how much stock could be cleared out of the space this time.

The things on the list are really miscellaneous and a lot.

Laughing at what nivel socks, enamel jars, kettles, clothes and fabrics, and a lot of other things.

By the time she had finished comparing them all, it was already half past seven in the morning.

She climbed down from the bed, and when Father Song saw it, he asked with concern: "Why did my daughter get up so late this morning, is she not feeling well and is she motion sickness?"

Song Xiaoling heard Song's father's concerned words, although her heart was warm, but she scratched her mouth, and wanted to say: "Dad, we are on the train, and there is no such thing as motion sickness." ”

Father Song didn't get angry when he heard his daughter tear down his platform, but just smiled dotingly and returned: "It's my father's mistake, Lingzi must not tell your mother about them, otherwise Dad's face will be lost." ”

At this time, the two people who were sleeping on the opposite bed also woke up in the car last night, a little boy about ten years old, and the other was a man in his thirties and sixteens, who should also be father and son.

When they saw Song's father, the middle-aged man took the lead in greeting and said, "Hello." ”

Father Song also responded politely: "Hello. ”

The middle-aged man asked again, "Are you going to Haishi?"

Father Song returned: "Yes, are you also going to Haishi?"

Why did they ask? Because most of the people on this train were going to Haishi.

The middle-aged man returned: "Yes, we are also going to Haishi." ”

After chatting, Song's father learned that this middle-aged man was also surnamed Gu, named Gu Qingbai, and this time he took his ten-year-old son to visit his younger brother's family.

By the way, his son's name is Gu Jinyu.

After Father Song heard their self-introduction, he boldly guessed, this person would not be Gu Qingsong's own brother, right?

After Song Xiaoling finished washing, she took out this morning's breakfast from the back basket, eight buns with large meat fillings.

She used the enamel jar to make two more cups of hot water, thinking that she would drink it as hot soup when she ate the steamed buns.

The two men on the opposite bed, oh no, it should be a man and a little boy, went to the dining room car to eat.

The train stopped and stopped, and it wasn't until it was about three days before Song Xiaoling saw the sign of the train station.

After the train stopped, Song's father carried a sack on his back and pulled Song Xiaoling off the train.

Why did you say that the two of them got off the train so easily, shouldn't there be a lot of people on the train?

Oh, don't forget that there aren't many people in the sleeper car, so it's also very labor-saving for Father Song and the two of them to get off the train.

Father Song and Gu Qingbai looked at each other and smiled, and Father Song took the lead and said, "Let's go, let's go to the exit of the station together." ”

Gu Qingbai agreed, and the four of them slowly followed the crowd and walked towards the exit of the station.

At the exit of the station, Gu Qingsong and Wang Wanru were standing there waiting for people.

When I saw it, Father Song and Gu Qingbai walked out of the train station together.

Gu Qingsong asked in surprise: "Eh, big brother, Brother Zhiyuan, how did you two get together?

Father Song said: "No, I didn't expect you to be really Qingsong's eldest brother, this is too coincidental!"

Since she had exchanged a few words of greeting, Song Xiaoling asked, "Uncle Qingsong, why didn't Jinyan come?"

Gu Qingsong replied: "That kid is too naughty, he was lost at the train station last time, so I didn't bring him over this time." ”

Song Xiaoling suddenly said: "Oh, I know!"

Several people stood at the entrance of the station and exchanged a few words, Gu Qingsong pushed his bicycle and held the sack,

Wang Wanru saw that Song's mother didn't come, so she asked, "Sister-in-law didn't come over this time, is it not very well?"

Father Song returned: "Your sister-in-law seems to be pregnant with twins, and now her belly is about to give birth, so I didn't let him move in this ice and snow." ”

Wang Wanru suddenly realized: "Oh, that has to be taken care of." ”

The Gu family lives in the government compound in Haishi, because the population is small, the house for the two is not allowed, and he only has 3 bedrooms and 1 living room.

Although the sea market at this time was not as developed as in the later period, there were still a lot of buildings.
