Before the train did not speed up, Donghai City had to walk for three days and two nights on the road to Yanjing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven if you buy a sleeper ticket and can rest, for a person who has long been accustomed to bullet trains and planes, such a long journey is quite torturous. The most critical point is that when I took the train back to Yanjing this time, Zhao Qingru was alone, and there was no one around to talk, so the journey was very lonely.

"Little girl, alone?"

"Well, alone. ”

"Where are you going?"

"The terminal stop is Yanjing. ”

The one who took the initiative to greet Zhao Qingru was a middle-aged woman in her early thirties with two children. The eldest one is a little girl, no more than seven or eight years old. And the little one should be a boy, at most two or three years old. Of course, Zhao Qingru is not completely sure. After all, this is still the period of eating a big pot of rice in the planned economy, and the vast majority of ordinary people have only barely solved the problem of food and clothing.

That is, the magic capital, you don't need to have a limited supply of tickets to buy things, and you have to ask for tickets to buy everything in other areas. What food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, sugar stamps, all year round, according to the limited supply of members of the family. So the people at this time, from the old men and women in their seventies and eighties, to the milk dolls waiting to be fed, are a little pale and malnourished eight times out of ten. The indicators of growth and development are also thinner than the standard physique.

Of course, those who are willing to buy sleeper tickets at this time, especially soft sleeper tickets, are basically okay.

Zhao Qingru didn't know if it was more fated with milk dolls, she was soft lying twice, and she met a young mother with a milk doll twice. Fortunately, this time I didn't leave the child like the first time, and the adults ran away on their own. And the little guy looks much more well-behaved than the girl, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and he always smiles. On the contrary, it was the older little girl, a little crazy, and there was no quiet moment.

After three days and two nights of getting along, it is enough for the people who meet in Pingshui to have a general understanding of each other. The middle-aged woman with two children is surnamed Qi, with a single name and a Ping, and her family lives in the township next door to Fengyao County. The man's surname is Chen, and he is a battalion commander in a military camp in Yanjing. There are two children in the family, the eldest is named Chen Yufei, nicknamed Feifei, and is seven years old this year. The little one is called Chen Yuze, who just turned three years old this year, because the little guy is happy all day long, so he took "Lele" as his milk name.

Because the man in the family had just been promoted, from battalion commander to deputy regiment commander, he could join the army. Qi Ping took the two children by train from her hometown to Yanjing. Speaking of which, this is the first time Qi Ping has walked so far to the capital, not to mention the two children who have never been far away.

After knowing that Qi Ping was a military wife, Zhao Qingru especially admired it. Although Zhao Qingru has changed her core, she has grown up in the compound of the military region since she was a child, even if she does not have much relationship with her cheap father Zhao's father, but in her bones, she still sincerely admires the soldiers and the military wives who pay silently behind her back.

Qi Ping's family lives in the countryside and only has a primary school education, but she has special admiration for intellectuals. After knowing that Zhao Qingru was now a prospective college student, he let out exclamations again and again, and asked his daughter to learn from Zhao Qingru, which made Zhao Qingru a little embarrassed.

"Sister Qingru, don't look at our country in the past few years, what to build in the future, you have to rely on you educated college students. ”

"Ahh Zhao Qingru couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, she was really a little surprised that Qi Ping was able to say such a high-level thing.

Xu was aware that Zhao Qingru looked at him with a little inquiry, Qi Ping smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained softly: "This is all what my family told me." Originally, I wanted to stay in the village and take care of my mother-in-law. But I said that the education in the city is good, so let me take Fei Fei and Lele to study in the city. ”

"Brother-in-law is right. Yanjing is also the capital anyway. Zhao Qingru was two points more curious about the Camp Commander Chen who was about to be promoted to half a level mentioned in Qi Ping's mouth.

"I also know that my man is not wrong. But I've lived for almost thirty years, but I've never left the county, isn't it a little scary. ”

"Sister Qi, everything has a first time. In fact, the people in the city are nothing special, they all have two eyes and one mouth, they have to eat when they are hungry, they have to drink water when they are thirsty, and they don't have any extra parts. ”

Qi Ping was amused by Zhao Qingru's words, and the little uneasiness in her heart subsided a lot.

Because there was an extra companion on the journey, there were people to talk and laugh about, and the three days and two nights were not so sad. Because it is a soft sleeper, and it is not a holiday, there is no one else on the way except for Zhao Qingru and Qi Ping's mother and son. This is convenient for Zhao Qingru to lock the door.

Three days later, with that long roar, the train slowly entered the Yanjing Railway Station.

Zhao Qingru's luggage is not much, just a large backpack more than half a person high. Compared with others, especially Qi Ping, who dragged her children and daughters, it was not much different from having no luggage. It's hard to believe that Qi Ping is with two children and three bags of luggage, I really don't know how she got into the car a few days ago.

"Sister Qi, let me help you get two luggage. ”

"No, no, no. Qi Ping waved her hand again and again to refuse Zhao Qingru's kindness, but it was obvious that she really couldn't take care of it, so she changed her tone and said, "If you don't know your sister, you can help me take care of Feifei." ”

"That's fine. But Sister Qi, did you tell your brother-in-law that you took today's train?"

"Yes. After Fei Fei's grandfather put our mother and son on the train, he said that he would send a telegram to my family. Let him pick us up, mother and son. ”

"......" For some reason, Zhao Qingru had a bad feeling. I think that at the beginning, the reason why Lu Yingchun didn't catch up with the last time to see his mother was because he was delayed for a few days by the irresponsible postman Shu Huang. Even since Director Xia received the boxed lunch, the irresponsible postman Shu Huang has also been cleaned up. But what has happened cannot be changed.

"Then let's take a look at the platform first, and then slowly get out of the platform. Zhao Qingru thought about it and proposed a more compromise method. Anyway, Zhao Qingru's side, because he wanted to surprise some people a little, he didn't tell the Zhao family that it was today's train, so Zhao Qingru, who had already thought about how to get over, was not in a hurry at all.

"Oops. Qi Ping held her youngest son in one hand and two large luggage in the other, nodding her head again and again. Qi Ping didn't think about letting go of her youngest son and letting him go by himself. It's just that looking at the people around me, I'm really a little uneasy. It was also thanks to Zhao Qingru to help carry one, otherwise the child would have to let him walk slowly by himself.

It's a pity that Qi Ping's scene of looking forward to her family to pick up the mother and son all the way didn't happen, but I don't know if it was delayed because of something temporary, or if she didn't receive the telegram from her hometown at all.

"Sister Qi, is my brother-in-law really the battalion commander in the so-and-so military camp?" Zhao Qingru confirmed to Qi Ping again.

"I can't be mistaken. Believe it or not, this is a letter from your brother-in-law to me, and there is an address on it. Qi Ping put the luggage on the ground, then took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Qingru.

Zhao Qingru glanced at it, and after making sure that it was right, she smiled and said, "That's okay, Sister Qi, if you believe me, come with me." I will definitely let you meet my brother-in-law today, so that you can reunite your family of four. ”

In fact, Zhao Qingru didn't expect it to be so coincidental, Qi Ping's company with Battalion Commander Chen, if he was not mistaken, won the subordinate unit of his grandfather's compound. Of course, even if it's not the same, it's a big deal to find someone to send their mother and son over again. In any case, it's better than waiting at the train station like this.

"This ...... Won't it be too troublesome for you, Sister Qingru. ”

"No, it won't. In fact, the place I am going to go is not far from the address on Sister Qi's letter. ”

"Ah......h

"Let's go. ”

Qi Ping was stunned in place, but saw that Zhao Qingru had already taken her eldest daughter's hand, took one of her luggage, and walked straight to the exit of the station, although she was a little puzzled in her heart, she didn't think much about it in the end, and followed closely.

The construction of Yanjing's first subway was restarted in the 60s, and in the early 70s, the road from Yanjing Railway Station to Gongzhufen was opened. It's a pity that the subway was built as a means of war preparedness, so for a long time it was only a trial run, and it was necessary to visit and experience it with a letter of introduction, but it was not open to the public. It will have to wait another two years for it to be fully opened.

Otherwise, take the subway directly to the destination, how fast and convenient it is.

So when no one picks up, for a person who doesn't know much about the road, there are only two ways to get home safely, either find someone to ask for directions and then take (reverse) the bus (change), or call home and have someone pick it up. However, Zhao Qingru didn't choose these two paths, and a certain loser chick chose to fight.

Don't think it's Charitta, it's so beautiful that you're not that advanced at all, not even yellow/small-faced. Some have only three wheels, commonly known as the light blue car of the three-jumper. In fact, after the 21st century, there are similar Benben cars, and the price is not expensive, and the starting price is cheaper than that of a taxi, but the size is slightly smaller.

Speaking of which, Zhao Qingru is also a master of the arts, and he is not timid, so he stopped a three-wheeled three-jumper in a smooth Beijing dialect, and after bargaining, he went straight to the destination. Not to mention that Qi Ping's mother and son sat for the first time, even Zhao Qingru was the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair. The car is not big, with two rows of leather chairs, and the knees basically touch the knees when they are full. The smell of the car is also very ecstatic, the smell of gasoline, sweat and sour smell are mixed together, plus the space is a little closed, and the sun above the head shines so brightly, the whole steamer.

It is also thanks to Zhao Qingru that he prepared freshly pickled tender ginger, otherwise...... I'm afraid I'll have to vomit to my destination.

"That, Sister Qi, in fact, it's the first time I've taken this car. Zhao Qingru saw that Qi Ping's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly took out the anti-vomiting "big killer", a packet of pickled tender ginger.

After Qi Ping took a piece and put it in her mouth, she found that it was better. In fact, Qi Ping also knew that Zhao Qingru couldn't be completely blamed for this. Who made the two of them not know the way very well. Actually, the car wasn't too bad, but summer was coming, and it wasn't as bad as winter. Thankfully, we arrived at our destination safely.

After Zhao Qingru, who was standing at the gate of the compound of a certain military region, got out of the car and paid, he habitually looked around the surrounding environment first, and found that it was not much different from the one in the mountain city. High fence with iron fences, security booths and gun-wielding guards at the entrance. Xu is the solemn and quiet atmosphere around him, and even Feifei's children, who are more noisy, have become very well-behaved at this time.

"Sister Qingru, this is ......" Qi Ping was very nervous, and even her voice was much softer.

Zhao Qingru glanced up at the national emblem hanging high, returned an indifferent smile to Qi Ping, and then walked straight to the guard on the side.

"Hello, may I ask Zhao Yucheng, Commander Zhao, who lives here. My name is Zhao Qingru and I am his granddaughter. ”

"You...... Please follow me. The guard obviously hesitated, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped off the post and walked to the side of the sentry box. After handing Zhao Qingru over to another guard in the sentry box, he returned to his post.

The compound is inhabited by a party of dignitaries and dignitaries, and the entry and exit are naturally very strict. Zhao Qingru naturally knows this.

"This female comrade, you are your name Zhao Qingru, the granddaughter of Commander Zhao, is there any evidence?"

"I know the phone number at home, you can call to confirm. The so-called true can't be fake, and the fake will always be fake. Facing the scrutiny of the guard in the security booth, Zhao Qingru always smiled, and even hinted at something in his words.

"By the way, I just took the college entrance examination this year and waited for the admission notice in Luliang Township, Fengyao County. As a result, because I received a call from my grandfather in the magic capital, saying that my grandfather was sick, I hurriedly took the train over. ”

"I'll call first. "The guard at the security booth was about to pick up the phone and dial when he saw a jeep coming in the direction of the gate in the distance. In a few moments, the jeep was in sight.

"Pony, open the door. The driver of the jeep poked his head out of the car.

Because of the hot weather, the glass on both sides of the jeep was not completely closed. As soon as Zhao Qingru looked up, she saw clearly who the girl sitting in the back seat of the jeep was. Obviously, the one sitting in the jeep also saw Zhao Qingru, looked at Zhao Qingru's delicate face, and was looking at her with a smile, Zhao Xiaohua was stunned.

Why?

Why is she here?

"Qingru, are you alright? The person sitting next to Zhao Xiaohua saw that Zhao Xiaohua's face changed, and asked softly with concern.

"I, I'm fine......" Zhao Xiaohua, who calmed down her mind a little, lowered her head slightly.

"Don't worry, the old man will definitely be fine. ”

"The old man you said is surnamed Zhao?" Zhao Qingru, who has always been deaf and clear-sighted, interjected on the side.

"Who are you, pony, don't hurry up and get rid of those inconsequential people. Don't you look at what place this is?!" The tone of the speaker was very unkind, and the gaze that looked at Zhao Qingru was even more condescending.

"Who am I, don't you know if you ask the person next to you?" (To be continued.) )
