Chapter 201: Departure
Yang Xiaobei persuaded his grandfather in a few words, and without further ado, the family immediately began to prepare for departure. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info is only more than half a month away from the Chinese New Year, and the family was not at ease, so they asked their father to follow, but their grandfather resolutely refused. Joke, he didn't want to go before because he couldn't let go of his son's marriage, no one knows how long it will take, if he delays the hour, then he really has the heart to die.
To prepare for the wedding and the New Year, the year before is very busy. Now that he is not at home, even Qitai has followed, how can the second child be busy alone? This is also true, Yang Xiaobei also patted his chest and promised that he and Zhou Pinzheng would take good care of their father, so that the family could rest assured.
Zhou Pinzheng is really powerful, although there is no Spring Festival transportation this year, but the New Year's ticket is only more tense - the capacity is insufficient, the speed is slow, and which railway station is crowded. But the only good thing is that there is no pre-sale, the dynasty is a personal society, as long as there is a relationship, a few sleeper tickets are also drizzle. The next day, he got the ticket, hurriedly explained the matter of the cooperative, and took Yang Xiaobei's father and daughter to set off.
Before leaving, he was naturally reluctant and worried, and the aunts also learned the news and rushed over. I prepared a big bag of food, what eggs, pickled vegetables, candy, oranges, etc., Yang Xiaobei only smacked his tongue, it was really a feature of the times! If it was a few years later, it would be the standard - the world of instant noodles!
The time of travel is very comfortable under the arrangement of Zhou Pinzheng, and the car is directly sent to the railway station. Yang Laohan is the master of his own one-third of an acre, but he has really never gone far. When I arrived at the waiting room, I was stunned by the sofas and furnishings inside, and I was suddenly a lot more restrained.
Yang Xiaobei was keenly aware of his grandfather's emotional changes, and couldn't help but feel sour. Speaking of which, there was no such thing in the previous life, my grandfather lived peacefully to more than 70, and it was only nine years at that time, and the first batch of people who worked had just gone out, and everyone still had the consciousness of going out in the remote Hanjiachong. So my grandfather has never been out of the county in his life, and he has never taken a train, plane, etc.
Later, the transportation developed, and it was common to go out. At that time, my father often sighed, "Your grandfather likes to watch the news the most, if he is still here, how happy it would be to take him out for a walk!" Who knew that this time it was wrong, but let grandpa go out of the house. She pretended not to know that her grandfather was uncomfortable and began to discuss with him the TV show playing in the waiting room.
Yes, at this time, the waiting room already has such a "high-end" facility. And in Han Jiachong, not to mention television, there are still many people who don't have electric lights! Grandpa has only heard of it, and now he is drinking the good tea that Zhou Pinzheng made for him, and listening to his little daughter tell him a TV program. Gradually, I relaxed.
When he got on the train for the first time in his life, lying on the snow-white cover on the soft bed, Yang Laohan couldn't help but be amazed, "Oh, I didn't expect that this train is even more beautiful than our home, and the people in this city are different......" Zhou Pin was going to turn on the water, and Yang Xiaobei was busy putting his luggage and taking out all the food and putting it on the table. Wen Yan smiled, "This is in the sleeper, so it is so comfortable, if you go to see the hard seat, you will be sure to sit with a sore back." ”
It takes two days and one night to get to Puhai by train, which is not an easy task. The green train "clanged" and began a long journey with a flute and steam. The seats are all narrow wooden seats with vertical backrests, so it's a luxury to relax and unwind. But as long as there is a location, it is good, the car is crowded near the New Year, and if you are lucky, you can find a vacant place to sit on the ground and relax, but if you are unlucky, you don't even have a place to stay.
After two major speed-ups in later generations, the train to the hometown arrived in only 7.8 hours, and the people who are now struggling to persevere on the train may not have dreamed of it! After all, the train is already the fastest and most convenient means of transportation. Around this, a trip can really make people lose a few pounds, especially in this season.
It's cold now, and everyone huddles together and doesn't feel it. If there is no air conditioning in summer, then the carriage will be like a steamer, not to mention how bad the smell is. When Zhou Pinzheng worked hard in his early years, he also sat in this kind of green car, and he suffered all kinds of hardships. When Yang Xiaobei graduated and went out to work, she was basically a K-header, but one year she bought an extra car for the Spring Festival, which was actually an old-fashioned green car, and she could be regarded as an eye-opener.
Hearing Yang Laohan say that it was comfortable to take the train, both of them laughed. Speaking of the hardships of taking the train, there is really a common language, and they tell Yang Laohan those jokes every word, making him laugh.
Yang Laohan didn't say it in his mouth, but he understood it in his heart. The younger two have also suffered hardships, if it weren't for their own sick old man, they wouldn't have wasted money to buy a sleeper, (no, who would wronged themselves if they were rich?) His old man has no ability, but who called himself blessed, with such a filial daughter and such a capable son-in-law?
In fact, when he went to see a doctor this time, he said that he was going to see the Zhou family by the way, and he was already a hundred satisfied with Xiao Zhou, a child. Hardship only sees the truth, don't say that Xiao Zhou ran diligently for so long, just say that he was sick this time, he came over as soon as possible, and stayed up with the children all night.
Later, Xiaomei found a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and he picked up and dropped off on time every day, put all his own affairs aside, and helped at Yang's house every day. He doesn't talk much, but he rushes to do everything, and there is no one in the Yang family who doesn't say that he is good.
Hey, the kids are older. The little sister also has an idea, she has a good eye for such a good guy, and people are sincere to her, and they treat the Yang family as their own family to work, what else can he be picky about? Isn't this just the time to be taken to Puhai to see a doctor, he will be filial to the children, and at the same time he goes out to see the world, he also meets his in-laws, and his heart is settled.
There was no pastime on the train, and Yang Xiaobei and the others just couldn't sit still, so they went to the platform to breathe when they stopped. Not to mention, the special feature of this year is that each stop is a local specialty. Now there are not so many people selling dog meat with sheep's heads, they are really local products, all the way over, but they have eaten a round belly.
The sleeper conditions are good, Yang Laohan is old after all, and he is recovering from a serious illness, and when he arrived in Puhai the next night, he was too tired to do it, Zhou Pinzheng carried him out of the car despite his objections, so that he was not embarrassed, and said in his mouth, "It's weird, just lie down and do nothing, why is there no strength in your body?"
Yang Xiaobei followed behind with her luggage, and said with a smile, "Dad, are you confused, the train has been bumpy for so long, and you are not in good health, can you not be tired? I am still tired!"
