There are not too many people who have the money to ask He Jianguo and Qi Shufang to buy things, at least Shen Daniu and Cai Xiaohua's family are not among them, He Jianhua's family has a heavy burden, and they did not entrust them to bring things, and there are no Huo Jianfeng and Zhao Aiguo.

I finally sorted out the list and luggage, and it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

In order to nourish his spirit, He Jianguo, who was strong in blood, looked at his wife who was still white and tender in the dim light with some pity, and the heat in his heart couldn't be extinguished. At this time, to avoid the situation that her husband couldn't get on the train because her legs were weak, Qi Shufang patted his chest comfortingly, "When I come back from Shanghai, I will depend on you." As he spoke, he slipped into his arms and pulled up the narrow quilt!

She was sure that a quilt that was only more than three feet wide would definitely be a blessing for many young couples!

"When the time comes, see if I can spare you!" He Jianguo gasped several times, silently reciting his heart and naturally cool...... Calm and naturally cool ...... It took a while to suppress the anger and reach out to hug his wife, otherwise the quilt would not cover the two of them.

Rao, what a big breath, who is afraid of whom!

Qi Shufang straightened her chest and quickly deflated, she really didn't dare to provoke He Jianguo's anger at this time, and quickly shouted that He Jianguo's eyes were glowing in the dark, and quickly closed her eyes.

He Jianguo was angry and funny, and quickly fell asleep.

As the sound of his sleeping breathing sounded, Qi Shufang opened his eyes again, and looked at He Jianguo's face with his mental power, he was still handsome when he was asleep, and his rigid temperament did not soften because of sleep. I have a good life this day, the food is not polluted, the air is fresh and just right, and the man is so handsome, the only pity is that the spiritual power has stopped growing, compared to the spiritual power that is more powerful than the previous life, the strength is the most pitiful, it is still only one-tenth of what it was before the crossing, no matter how you cultivate, there is no increase in the slightest.

It's good enough.

Qi Shufang thought silently in her heart, at least she would not fall behind He Jianguo, and smiled and recalled the scene of the candle night in the cave room, and the corners of Qi Shufang's mouth were still upturned when she was asleep.

He Jianguo inquired when he went to the county seat to buy steamed buns the day before yesterday, and there was a train to Shanghai that passed through the city at about half past seven in the morning and stayed for half an hour, and at a speed of fifty or sixty kilometers per hour, it was more than 600 kilometers and less than 700 kilometers from the city to Shanghai, and it was probably necessary to arrive in Shanghai at night.

The starting station is Beijing and the final station is Shanghai.

Less than four o'clock in the morning, He Jiandang and He Jianguo, the two brothers, borrowed the carriage of the production team, took a flashlight, wore stars and moons, and sent He Jianguo and Qi Shufang to the train station.

At this time, it was already past six o'clock, and a glimmer of light appeared in the sky.

The humble train station was full of shadows, the door was sparsely populated, the lines were hurried, not crowded at all, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang soon arrived at the bottom of the shed waiting for the train, and sat on the wooden bench.

Qi Shufang was wearing a tweed coat, and took the flashlight that He Jianguo brought to take a picture of the train ticket, a small piece of cardboard, the fare was two yuan and a dime, and the total fare from Beijing to Shanghai was also printed.

While waiting, Qi Shufang asked He Jianguo.

"This means that we have to get on the train on the same day, according to the number on the ticket, but we can get off once on the way. For example, if we are going to Shanghai, get off in Nanjing halfway, and change the ticket at Nanjing Station, as long as we can still take the same train to Shanghai with this ticket within three days after departure. He Jianguo explained with a smile.

"I see!" Qi Shufang understood, and then a question arose, "We have a seat number on this train ticket, and then take the train after the change, maybe this number is on the ticket when someone else buys the ticket on the day, what should we do?"

"Seats are not reserved, and unless there are other empty seats, we have to stand to the station. ”

Qi Shufang stuck out her tongue, it turned out that there were still restrictions.

The sky was getting brighter, He Jianguo raised Qi Shufang's wrist to look at the time, there were still ten minutes before the ticket check-in time, he took out the enamel jar in the satchel, "You wait here, I'll buy a few buns for breakfast." ”

"Go ahead. "Qi Shufang has never been the master who treats her badly.

In the cold early spring morning, eating hot meat buns and drinking hot soy milk is a particularly happy thing. The husband and wife were full of food and drink, leisurely guarding the rattan boxes containing clothes and the large packages containing game at their feet, who knew that the train that could arrive at the local area on time at half past seven was notified by the train station that it was half an hour late!

Qi Shufang was bored, let go of her mental power to observe the various scenes at the train station, and suddenly saw Huo Jianfeng hurriedly feeling the door of the station, looking around and not knowing who he was looking for, she felt very strange in her heart, and pretended to see it at a glance, "Jianguo, isn't that Brother Huo?"

He Jianguo looked up and saw that it was really him.

got up and walked over and patted Huo Jianfeng on the shoulder, "Jianfeng, who are you looking for?"

"Hey, why did you see me first?

Seeing He Jianguo, Huo Jianfeng, who was sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stuffed a roll of money and a stack of food stamps into his hand, and took out a small bamboo basket covered with gauze from the bicycle, "Poor family rich road, you can take this money and the national food stamps, play with your younger brothers and sisters in Shanghai for a few more days, don't be reluctant to spend it." I bought you another roast chicken, and you can eat it in the car. ”

He Jianguo hurriedly excused himself, "We have enough money and tickets, and we also have food on the road, how can we ask for you? The day before yesterday, you and your sister-in-law sent white rice and fine noodles, and I didn't say that you were too polite." ”

"I'm not an outsider. It's time to check in, right?

Huo Jianfeng pushed him forward, turned his head and rode away on his bicycle, his feet pedaling fast.

He Jianguo reluctantly returned to Qi Shufang with his things and handed them to her, "Jian Feng sent it, I can't even refuse." ”

Qi Shufang counted carefully, there were ten great solidarity pieces of money alone, and there were twenty catties of food stamps across the country, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Jianfeng treats you really well." But we don't need it, it's the same as the money given by my father, and we'll pay him back when we come back. "This is He Jianguo's return for the chestnut powder nest back then! There are really a lot of people who know how to repay their kindness.

He Jianguo agrees very much, his hands have been tighter recently, and he has never been short of money at other times, no one's life is easy, and those who are as rich as Huo Jianfeng are the same, their food is supplied in limited quantities, and food stamps are more expensive than money, so they can't be collected.

Qi Shufang is happy, which shows that He Jianguo is popular and well-connected!

Before he had time to take a closer look at the food prepared in Huo Jianfeng's bamboo basket, the ticket inspection began, and the ticket inspector urged the passengers to enter the platform.

By the time they finally squeezed into the train and sat down, it was already 8:00.

Don't look at the rush to squeeze forward when you get on the bus, but when you get to the car, you will find that there are many empty seats in this carriage, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang's seats are just connected together, put away the luggage, the two sit side by side, and the young man opposite who was eating noodles with a white aluminum lunch box looked up at them and continued to eat noodles with his head down.

Qi Shufang's sharp eyes found that there were two white and tender poached eggs and a piece of oily meat in the lunch box.

This food is good enough!

Looking at the young man carefully, he was wearing a blue tunic that was washed white but had no patches, four pockets, a pen pinned to the left pocket on it, black khaki pants, shiny three-section scalp shoes, and an imported watch on his wrist.

The whistle sounded, the train moved slowly, and the sound of clanging was heard from time to time.

The ride on the long-distance train is particularly boring, and many people are reluctant to speak, for fear that what they say is wrong and cause trouble, and Qi Shufang and He Jianguo are not good at talking privately in public.

The young man who ate noodles wiped his mouth after eating noodles, and when he came back from washing his lunch box, he said enthusiastically: "Where do the two comrades get off the bus?"

"Shanghai. He Jianguo replied, and then asked the other party rhetorically.

The young man smiled and said, "I am also in Shanghai." I got on the bus from Beijing, and I was really tired enough to choke on this journey, and I couldn't eat or sleep well. My name is Qi Zhenghui, and I am visiting relatives in Shanghai, what do you call the two comrades?"

"My surname is He, He Jianguo, this is my lover Qi Shufang. ”

As soon as he heard He Jianguo's words, Qi Zhenghui said happily: "Ouch, Comrade Qi Shufang and I are from our own family!"

Qi Zhenghui said that he was from Beijing, He Jianguo has been outside for many years, and he can hear that he does have a Beijing accent, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person when he looks at his clothes and temperament, He Jianguo thinks he has some eyesight, and with the idea of not offending people, he quickly got acquainted with Qi Zhenghui, and in the last chat, the two of them are still alumni.

Qi Zhenghui was a few years later than He Jianguo, and whispered: "I went to school for two years, and the school stopped teaching. Not being able to graduate is his biggest regret, so he is particularly envious of He Jianguo.

He Jianguo and Qi Shufang suddenly realized and stopped talking.

Qi Zhenghui laughed at himself, he knew that this matter was very sensitive, so he didn't mention it anymore, and when it was time to eat at noon, he took the money and food stamps to buy a full meal, and invited: "Brother He, Comrade Shufang, you can eat together." ”

There are not many types of food sold on the train, except for noodle soup, rice and vegetarian dishes.

Qi Zhenghui obviously did not lack money, he bought a lunch box full of noodles, and bought two dishes, rice and a meat and a vegetarian dish, and the aroma caused many people in the neighborhoods to swallow their saliva, so they could only nibble on the dry food they brought with the boiling water.

"No, we brought our own. He Jianguo said this, but he took out the aluminum lunch box he brought, bought a hot noodle broth for Qi Shufang, and ate the dry food he brought. They brought with them a lot of dry food, hard-boiled eggs, steamed air-dried chicken, pancakes, pickles, and salt beans scrambled with eggs. Thinking of the roast chicken given by Huo Jianfeng, He Jianguo opened the gauze on the bamboo basket and found that in addition to a whole roast chicken and ten fritters wrapped in oily paper, there were also ten white-flour steamed buns and ten cooked eggs.

He Jianguo sighed, "Jian Feng is so polite, I don't even know how to say it." As he spoke, he tore two chicken thighs and put them in his wife's lunch box, and peeled two hard-boiled eggs for her.

"Wow!

Qi Zhenghui opened his mouth wide, and the eyes of several passengers around him who were munching on dry food suddenly flashed and sparkled.

Even if people who can afford to sit on the train have no money in their hands, most of them are not short of money for food, but they don't have tickets in their hands and can't buy food on the train.

"Comrade, can you sell me a little bit of food that you can't eat?" A young woman who couldn't swallow the sweet potato dried noodle cake with her head cut and her □□head cut looked at Qi Shufang eagerly, thinking that she might be better communicative.

Qi Shufang immediately shook her head.

How can such a little thing be sold? She had heard He Jianguo talk about things outside, the state strictly prohibits reselling, and buying and selling food is also a private transaction.

Under the disappointed look of the other party, Qi Shufang didn't want to grudge with anyone, although it was difficult to have a chance to meet after getting off the car, she turned her head and discussed with He Jianguo for a while, looked at the excited passengers around, and took out a stack of pancakes and four fritters, four eggs and pickles, and fried salt beans with eggs, "We have a lot of food for the two of us, and we have to keep three meals." These can be given to you to eat, and no money is needed. ”

The short-haired young woman suddenly became happy, "How can this be done? I can't take your food for nothing, it's for nothing." He took out five cents and handed it to Qi Shufang, and when the others saw this, they took out the money one after another, staring at the fritters and eggs.

"Don't, don't, don't say no, don't. If you give money, I won't give it to you. Qi Shufang pushed the money back, she didn't want to get into trouble because she collected a few cents, not to mention, it was very interesting to get a little food out for free, if someone came to stare at the dry food they brought, there would definitely be people who were upset.

"Alright then!"

Several people took back the money and divided the things, just one person with half a pancake and half a fritters, and they could also roll pickles and eggs and fried salt beans, and four eggs were given to four young women, including the short-haired young woman.

He Jianguo handed Qi Zhenghui a fried stick, two eggs, and a few pieces of roast chicken.

Qi Zhenghui was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Comrade Zhenghui, we still have it. Although his husband and wife did not accept Qi Zhenghui's kindness, but to receive his affection, Qi Shufang also meant this, compared to people who opened their mouths to buy food, Qi Zhenghui was much stronger, and people should not be good-looking.

"Then I'm welcome!" Qi Zhenghui had good conditions and quickly accepted, "When I get to Shanghai, I invite you to the restaurant." ”

The meal brought the relationship between the two sides closer, and the conversation became more interesting, and several people who ate the food of He Jianguo and his wife also joined the ranks of chatting, and they were a little unsatisfied when they got off the bus at night.
