At this time, the station staff used the radio to announce the address and number of the train, and when the two father and daughter heard it, they quickly stood up, and the father said as he walked: "Yinglan, hurry up." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, came to the train station outside, looked at the long carriage, the two fathers and daughters hurriedly went in, found the carriage they wanted to sit in, Dad breathed a sigh of relief, he bought a sleeper ticket, put the luggage on a lower bunk, and the two fathers and daughters sat down. After a while, two more passengers came, and they had to climb into the top bunks.

The father immediately said to his daughter, "You have to sit for some time, you can sleep for a while, wait for Dad to call you." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, listening to the rumbling of the train, Zhou Yinglan lay on the sleeper, slowly fell asleep, after a while, the staff on the car came to check the ticket, Dad immediately took out the train ticket to check, after the inspection, Dad was relieved. Looking at her daughter's familiar sleeping face and thinking of her wife, I felt so sad in my heart. Looking at the fleeting scenery outside, Dad hoped to arrive soon. He wants his ex-wife to do well.

Dad squinted and dozed off, Zhou Yinglan fell asleep, continued to dream, dreamed that when he was young, his parents were very good to him, his mother came to pick him up from school every day, and then he dreamed of reading, and Li Hanlan was at the same table, and Qian Yibai and Zhao Qiufeng were sitting in front of them, the two of them were fighting and were criticized by the teacher. Later, the four of them got acquainted and became good friends.

dreamed intermittently like this, and after sleeping for more than three hours, Zhou Yinglan woke up, sat up, and saw her father sitting, she immediately smiled and said, "Dad, you can sleep for a while, I'll watch." Dad nodded yes, and immediately lay down on the sleeper and fell asleep. Looking at the scenery outside, Zhou Yinglan hoped to arrive soon, leave home, and study so far away from her father, Zhou Yinglan knew that her father was still a little worried about herself, but she missed her mother a little. Go to her city to study, I don't know if I can see her? Thinking of this, Zhou Yinglan had no choice but to sigh.

Thinking of the photos taken by a few good friends, she stayed at home, hoping to have time to go back to her hometown to meet them in the future, and now that she has grown up, in order to study, in order to survive, sometimes there is no time to meet. I thought about it a lot, and before I knew it, more than three hours later, my father woke up. He immediately said, "Yinglan, Dad go to the toilet." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes.

Dad got up and walked out of the trunk, and the two passengers sleeping on the top bunk woke up immediately, and they also climbed down and went to the toilet alone. Come over for a while, Dad came back and asked Zhou Yinglan to go, Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, stood up, hurriedly went, looked for a while to find it, after a while, Zhou Yinglan came back, Dad immediately smiled and said: "Yinglan, there are still eight hours to arrive, we have arrived, it should be almost evening." Are you hungry?"

Zhou Yinglan shook her head and said no, her father whispered to her, saying that she used to live at home, and when she went to other cities, she was definitely not used to it at first, since she went, she should slowly get used to it. The two passengers in the upper bunk were also talking there, and before they knew it, more than two hours had passed. Dad asked again, "Yinglan, are you hungry?"

Zhou Yinglan immediately said, "Dad, I'm a little hungry." Dad nodded and said yes, opened the travel bag, took out two boiled eggs, and gave them to his daughter, the two fathers and daughters peeled the eggshells and began to eat, Dad boiled eight more eggs in the morning, thinking about sitting in the car for a long time, eating in the car.

After eating, Dad took out two boiling kettles and gave them to a daughter, Zhou Yinglan took them and drank a few sips, and asked with a smile: "Dad, have you been to xx before?"

Dad took a few sips, put down the boiling kettle, and said with a smile: "I haven't been there, but I heard that it's a big city, much larger than our hometown." Then the two father and daughter chatted again, the time passed unconsciously, and slowly there were two hours left, and the father went to the toilet, and then came back and asked his daughter: "Yinglan, are you tired of sitting?" ”

Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, listening to the train constantly stopping at the station, the staff reported the address on the radio, the father and daughter both hoped to arrive early, watching their daughter fall asleep, the father looked at the scenery outside, and recalled that when his ex-wife lived with him, the two of them used to get along very well, blaming themselves for not having any knowledge, not making a lot of money, not going to a big city, everyone has ambitions, the ex-wife has enough of the life in a small city, and she will suddenly yearn for the life of a big city. The father looked at his daughter and thought to himself: whether her daughter lives in a big city or a small city in the future, as long as she gets used to it.

The daughter is quite sensible and obedient, she will not use money indiscriminately, I hope she will go to the big city to study, like this, don't have the psychology of comparison, Dad sighed, wait a few more years, and the daughter will finish reading. Time passed slowly, Dad thought a lot, when his ex-wife left, he was very sad, but now he is slowly getting used to it, and he has figured it out in his heart, and he will be healthy in the future and live his own life.

Slowly only half an hour was left, the conductor on the train began to use the radio to announce the address, after the father listened, he immediately woke up his daughter, Zhou Yinglan woke up immediately, and the father immediately smiled and said: "Yinglan, it's almost there." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes. Immediately move your whole body and go to the toilet. Then come back and whisper to Daddy. The two passengers on the upper bunk also woke up immediately and sat there chatting.

After a while, the train slowly came to the station, and the conductor announced the address on the radio, telling the passengers to get off the train with their luggage. Dad and Zhou Yinglan immediately stood up, carried their luggage and walked outside, the other two passengers also came down, followed them with their luggage, and walked out of the xx train station, Zhou Yinglan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that it was getting late, Dad hurriedly said: "Yinglan, let's find a hotel to live in first, and then go to school tomorrow morning." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes.

The two father and daughter looked for it at the nearby train station, asked several, saw the advertisements posted on both sides of the street wall, and found a slightly cheaper hotel, on the third floor, the two father and daughter walked to the third floor, looking at the xx hotel on the wall, the father took out his ID card, Zhou Yinglan also took it, and said to the boss: "Hello boss, please open two rooms." The middle-aged male boss who was standing there immediately nodded and said yes. He took out a notebook and asked aloud in standard Mandarin, "How many days do you want to stay?" and pay a deposit of 100 yuan. ”

Dad immediately shouted, "Stay one night and leave tomorrow morning." The boss nodded and said yes, immediately took the pen and registered, and then wrote a receipt.

After writing, the boss immediately said loudly: "Please pay the money first, and the deposit is a total of 300 yuan." Dad nodded and said yes, immediately took out his wallet, gave the money to the boss, the boss gave him the receipt, and said loudly: "Put this receipt away, check out and give it to me when the time comes." But I'm going to check the room first. Any questions? I'm not going to take you there. ”

Dad nodded and said yes, the two father and daughter followed behind the boss with their luggage, the boss took a bunch of keys, walked for a while, opened the door with the key, called them in, opened the two rooms, and then gave them the keys, and said loudly: "Okay, put the keys away, you guys are busy." After saying that, he turned around and left. Dad said thank you in the back, and the two fathers and daughters put down their luggage and looked at the room, which was quite clean.

After reading it, Dad said to his daughter: "I will stay for one night tonight, and Dad will send you to school tomorrow morning, and when you sign up at school, Dad will buy a ticket to go home after you are busy." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes. The father opened the travel bag, took out the remaining four eggs, and told his daughter to eat. Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, looking at her daughter's short height, her father had no choice, her father was only more than one meter six tall, and her daughter was shorter than her mother, but fortunately, her daughter was not inferior and did not complain about her height in front of them, maybe she inherited him.

After eating, the father and daughter took out the boiling kettle and drank a few sips of water, and the father immediately smiled and said, "Yinglan, let's go, let's go out to eat something with Dad, so that you won't be hungry at night." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, locked the door, and the two father and daughter went out. When they went downstairs, the father and daughter searched along the side of the street and saw a simple shop, and they hurried in, and a proprietor in a chef's overalls came and immediately asked in Mandarin, "Hello, what do you want to eat?" After saying that, he took a printed menu of various kinds and gave it to Dad.

Dad took a look, immediately ordered two dishes, the boss immediately smiled and told to wait, turned around and left, the two father and daughter took a look, the table was very clean, covered with a cloth of south and white, there were three tables of guests eating, Dad whispered: "Meals in this big city are a little more expensive, the two dishes I ordered just now cost forty yuan, and the most in our hometown is twenty yuan." Food should be quite expensive in big cities, and so should there be housing. Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes.

It didn't take long for the boss to come, carry an iron plate, put the food on the table, and then said with a smile in Mandarin: "Please use it slowly, two of you." After saying that, he walked away with the iron plate. Dad picked up the chopsticks and immediately asked his daughter to eat, Zhou Yinglan nodded and said okay, the two father and daughter took the chopsticks and ate them, and the father said while eating: "The taste is okay, Yinglan eat more." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes.

After eating, the father and daughter picked up the tissues on the table and wiped their mouths and hands, and the father immediately said loudly, "Boss, we're done eating." ”

When the boss heard this, he immediately came over and said loudly, "Hello, a total of forty yuan." Dad nodded yes, immediately took out his wallet, paid the money, the two father and daughter stood up, walked outside together, looking at the orange street lamp outside, Dad said as he walked: "Life in a big city is more stressful, everything is more expensive." Zhou Yinglan nodded and said yes.
