Chapter 8 Happy Departure

The sky was bright, Dongmei and Wei Guo carried large bags and small bags, walked from the village to an asphalt intersection called pot hanging, took a bouncing car to the county seat, and then transferred to the provincial capital city of Xi'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

By the time I got to the train station, it was already noon. The sun was shining red on the earth, Dongmei's hot head was sweating, and Wei Guo hurriedly took out a flower handkerchief from his pocket to wipe Dongmei's sweat.

Dongmei saw Wei Guo holding a flower handkerchief in her hand, and asked strangely: "You are a big man, why do you still use a flower handkerchief." After Wei Guo wiped Dongmei's sweat, he took out the green military kettle in his bag and asked Dongmei to drink water, explaining: "This flower handkerchief is used to wrap things. ”

Dongmei unscrewed the mouth of the military kettle, drank a few sips of water, quenched her thirst, felt much more refreshed, and asked Wei Guodao: "Flower handkerchief to wrap things, are you wrapped in foreign sugar?" (Foreign candy is a very popular fruit candy wrapped in paper at that time, very ordinary and cheap.) )

Wei Guo didn't speak, and dug his hand into his pants pocket for a long time, and finally took it out.

Dongmei hung the tie of the kettle around her neck, looked at Wei Guo's clumsy digging things, and thought that Wei Guo really had a heart, knowing that she liked to eat foreign sugar, and she specially carried it.

However, what Dongmei didn't expect was that what Wei Guo took out of his pocket turned out to be a beautiful lady's plum blossom brand watch.

Wei Guo lowered his head, smiled innocently, pulled Dongmei's hand over, and then clumsily took Dongmei on his left hand.

It turned out that Weiguo was going to give Dongmei an unexpected surprise, he knew in his heart that he went to buy four major pieces together that day, Dongmei actually liked the plum blossom brand watch very much, but it was too expensive, and he was reluctant to buy it, so one day after the marriage, he quietly went to the county town to buy a plum blossom watch for Dongmei.

Dongmei looked at the beautiful watch on her wrist, she was indescribably happy, and a feeling of happiness surged in her heart instantly, but people at that time couldn't hug in public, let alone kiss.

Dongmei's happy tears swirled in her eyes, she grabbed Wei Guo's hand with both hands, held it very tightly, and silently said in her heart that she was really a happy girl and found a man who loved her.

At this time, a cool breeze blew in his face, blowing through Dongmei's face, and Wei Guo saw that Dongmei, who was wearing a flower cotton jacket and two twisted braids, was so beautiful and moving.

The train departed from Xi'an to Urumqi at 11 p.m.

Usually when he is alone, Wei Guo buys a standing ticket or a hard seat, considering that the girl's family can't stand the bumps of a few days and nights, Wei Guo buys two sleeper tickets for the first time.

On the train, Wei Guo slept on the top bunk, and Dongmei slept on the bottom bunk.

The first time I took the train, the novelty did not make Dongmei, who had been running all day, feel tired. Wei Guo has fallen asleep, but Dongmei is still looking at the outside scenery through the glass of the car window, although it is dark outside, but Dongmei is counting the stars in the sky with great interest.

In the early morning, a dazzling ray of sunlight shone in through the window, waking up Dongmei, who was still asleep.

She looked up at Wei Guo on the top bunk and found that Wei Guo was gone. She sat up busily, wondering where Wei Guo had gone, whether he had lost it.

When Dongmei was worried, he found Wei Guo coming over with a hot water kettle, he looked at Dongmei and said, "You wake up, rub your eyes, and prepare for breakfast." ”

Dongmei saw Wei Guo, and her hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and then she knew that she already had sustenance and reliance in her heart, and if there was no Wei Guo by her side, it would not work.

Wei Guo filled the cup in front of Dongmei with hot water, and then slipped over a large bag, which contained steamed buns and pot helmets, as well as a bottle of oil and spicy seeds in canned bottles.

Wei Guo put down the kettle, sat in front of Dongmei, and lifted the cup to touch Dongmei.

Dongmei brushed her messy hair, and said with a smile: "It's not drinking, let's touch it." ”

Wei Guo took a sip of water and said: "If you are happy in bitterness, just treat boiled water as wine, otherwise how can you live a three-day journey." Drink it, it's not hot. ”

After Dongmei drank a cup of hot water, she felt much more comfortable, her mouth was not dry, and her throat was not uncomfortable.

At breakfast, the two had a disagreement. Wei Guo took out two steamed buns from the bag, broke them, put oil and spicy seeds in them, sprinkled some salt, closed them and pinched them, for fear that the spicy ones would fall out of the steamed buns and stain Dongmei's flower cotton jacket, and then handed them to Dongmei with both hands.

But Dongmei didn't like to eat steamed buns with spicy seeds, she pushed Weiguo's hand and said, "The steamed buns are too thick, I want to eat pot helmet with spicy seeds." ”

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei, put the spicy steamed bun aside, and began to break open another steamed bun, ready to put spicy seeds inside, he replied unhappily to Dongmei: "Eat steamed buns first, the steamed buns are soft, and in three days, if you don't eat steamed buns, they will be dried." Pot helmet, wait until the steamed bun is finished before eating. ”

But Dongmei wants to eat spicy seeds with pot helmets, because the pot helmet is thin, hard, spicy and delicious.

Wei Guo couldn't do it, so he took out a large piece of pot helmet from his bag, broke a piece of it, sandwiched the spicy seeds for Dongmei, and handed it over.

Dongmei ate the pot helmet and spicy seeds, looking at the scenery outside the window, and felt that there was nothing more delicious in the world than the pot helmet and spicy seeds.

That's their breakfast, simple and delicious.

At noon, the conductor pushed fragrant lunch boxes and sold them in the train lane.

The passenger next door bought a bowl and ate it deliciously. Dongmei saw that there was rice in the lunchbox, and the top of the rice was covered with stir-fried vegetables with shredded meat, and she swallowed saliva in her stomach.

Wei Guo called the conductor over, took the money from his pocket and said, "Give me two box lunches." ”

The conductor brought out the lunch box and said, "One yuan a piece, a total of two yuan." ”

Dongmei was dumbfounded when she heard this, why is it so expensive, when she was working in the county, it was only three cents to eat a bowl of whistle noodles, and a boxed lunch actually cost one dollar, she looked at Weiguo and wanted to say that it was too expensive, but she was afraid that the next door would hear the joke about them, so she said against her will: "Let's not want it, the boxed lunch is not delicious." ”

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei in surprise and said, "You haven't eaten it, the box lunch is delicious, it's rice, it's much better than noodles." ”

Seeing that the conductor had already put the lunch box on the table, Dongmei hurriedly gave Wei Guozhi a look, meaning that he should return the two lunch boxes.

Wei Guo couldn't see Dongmei's eyes, thinking that Dongmei disliked two portions too little, (because Guanzhong only produces wheat, not rice, so it is rare and expensive, and everyone only eats luxurious rice once or twice a year), so he dug it out in his pocket again, took out five yuan, and said to the conductor: "Then let's have two more." "As he spoke, he was going to give the conductor five dollars.

Dongmei looked anxious, couldn't bear it, blocked Wei Guo's hand, looked at the conductor and said, "Master conductor, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's too expensive, we don't want it." ”

The conductor was stunned for a moment, and then while putting the lunch box on the table back, he looked at Wei Guo with disdain and said to Dongmei: "Neurotic." ”

Suddenly, Wei Guo and Dongmei both blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the expressions of the people around them.

Reluctant to eat a box lunch, the next three days, the two of them ate steamed buns and spicy nuts and pot helmets and spicy nuts.

On the third day on the train, Dongmei, who slept in the lower bunk, turned over the river and the sea in her stomach, and she wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, and it was uncomfortable.

Wei Guo helped Dongmei up, took a water cup and fed her half a cup of hot boiled water, but it was still not used.

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei, who had her eyes closed and looked uncomfortable, and told her, "You may be motion sick." ”

Dongmei has never been in a car for such a long time, and she doesn't know what motion sickness means, anyway, she feels that motion sickness should be a very serious problem, similar to illness, she opened her eyes, looked at Wei Guo very weakly and said: "What kind of disease is motion sickness? ”

Wei Guo listened to Dongmei's words, and almost laughed, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Motion sickness, it's either illness, or the car shook you unconscious, you fainted, do you know?"

Dongmei clutched her stomach, retched, and almost threw up and said, "I've fainted, aren't you still sick? Can you find me some medicine? ”

Wei Guo explained to Dongmei: "This disease, when you get out of the car, you will be fine." No need to take medicine. ”

But Dongmei couldn't, she pleaded and looked at Wei Guo and said, "If I continue like this, get out of the car, and I'll be gone." ”

Wei Guo couldn't help it, so he helped Dongmei lie down, followed the train aisle, and went to the conductor to ask for medicine.

The aisle of the train was narrow and crowded, and Wei Guo was thinking about what to say as he walked, and the thing he was most afraid of was to ask for someone, and whenever he asked for someone, he felt like he was facing a great enemy, and he didn't know how to speak.

He walked forward with a sad face, and suddenly saw four or five people squatting in front of him in the crowded aisle, surrounded by a circle of people watching the excitement.

Wei Guo is a person who likes to watch the excitement, so he hurriedly went over and pushed through the crowd to see what was going on inside.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you immediately fascinated Wei Guo when you see it.

He saw four people squatting together, a banker, three players, the banker shook mahjong dice, and then dealt playing cards, according to a certain game rules out of cards, after a while, the banker won the money of three players.

Although the money is all dimes, there is a lot of thick money in his hand, and Wei Guo estimates that it is nearly ten yuan.

As soon as the dealer won the money, the people around him were scrambling to be the banker, and a young man in his early twenties squatted down to be the banker, and after a circle, he won five or six yuan, turned around and left.

An old man squatted down to be a banker again, and after a while, he won nearly ten yuan and left again.

When Wei Guo saw it, he was tempted, thinking that there is such an easy thing in the world to make money, but there will be no pie in the sky, this shouldn't be a lie, right?

But the young man and the old man are very realistic, and they leave when they win money, it shouldn't be a lie, so Wei Guo asked himself to be a banker.

The surrounding people crowded around Wei Guo and sat in the position of the banker, he threw the dice according to the rules of the game, and then dealt the cards, a lap down, sure enough, he won money, and won five yuan, more than the money he earned on two days of work.

Wei Guo's heart blossomed, and he happily continued to shake the dice and deal playing cards.
