Heishui Town is on the road from the county to the city, because there are several factories in the county, so there are a lot of liberation cars coming and going on weekdays.

Therefore, there are naturally a lot of people who want to hitchhike, and the drivers who come and go are happy to pull people in order to make some extra money, so every time you can see that there are not only several people sitting in front of the liberation car, but even the pile of goods in the back is also full of people, if you look at it in the future, this is very dangerous.

But there is no other way to go to the town, Liu Xiaping and He Xiang's luck is not bad, after waiting at the entrance of the town for nearly an hour, there is a liberation car passing by, and there are not many people in the car.

After paying the two cents fare, Liu Xiaping and He Xiang hurriedly climbed to the loading place behind, squatted in a gap and grabbed the eaves of the car tightly with one hand, in case the road was too bad and shook the two of them down.

In fact, there are not many people who go out to hitchhike in this era, and when their car goes to the city, there are only five people in total.

got off the train in the city, and Liu Xiaping pulled He Xiang towards the train station.

In the next few years, she has also been to GY City many times, and naturally she has taken the train once or twice, so she can still remember the general direction of the train station.

It's just that there are too many changes in some places, and you have to ask the locals to know the exact location of the train station.

"Xiaoping, where are we going to stay these days?"

He Xiang has been in Zhao's hometown for several years, and this is the first time he has gone far away, so he is also very curious, a little excited and a little worried.

GY City is different from Zhao's hometown, after all, it is a city, and it is a house built of blue bricks, although there are also many dilapidated brick houses, but it still looks a lot more lively than Zhao's hometown.

"Let's go to the train station and see if we can rent a house."

Liu Xiaping smiled, but she actually didn't know the bottom in her heart.

In '87, she came to the train station once, and once heard someone here say one thing, there are many residents who live on the side of the train tracks, and some of them are poor, so they will set aside some houses for passers-by to rest, and a few cents a night is not too expensive, it is better than staying in a hotel and holding a letter of introduction to move in.

That's the kind of house she's looking for, cheap to rent.

He Xiang nodded, looking at Liu Xiaping's calm appearance, her originally worried heart slowly calmed down, but she felt that this girl also had an idea.

Liu Xiaping didn't know what He Xiang was thinking at this time, otherwise she would definitely feel a lot of pressure.

I inquired all the way to the train station, just in time for a train to arrive at the station at noon, and people came and went with people pulling luggage, which was very lively.

"There's really no food stall here."

He Xiang kept observing the surroundings and found that except for the pedestrians passing by and changing cars, there was really no one doing business here, so he immediately excitedly leaned into Liu Xiaping's ear and said.

Liu Xiaping was also very happy, "Well, let's go rent a house first, and then discuss what to do when we go back." ”

The two held hands and walked along the flow of people at the train station, there were people coming and going from the south to the north, observing the locals around them all the way, and she really found a family that looked like they were going to rent out.

Pulling He Xiang and hurriedly walked over, Liu Xiaping looked at the weathered old woman in front of her, and said with a smile, "Auntie, do you have a house to rent?" ”

The old woman looked at the clothes of the two of them, and they didn't look like the babies of some rich family, and when she heard this, she immediately laughed, "Yes, yes, my house is cheap, 9 cents a day, girl, do you want to rent it, they are all female dolls, live in a room to save money." ”

"Auntie, the two of us have to rent for more than half a month, can it be cheaper?" He Xiang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"Half a month? Then you have to use my firewood, don't you? The old woman was stunned, obviously she didn't expect these two girls to stay for so long.

"It should be used." Liu Xiaping hurriedly said.

"Well, you can see if you can use firewood in my kitchen, but you can't use my food, if you rent it for half a month, I will calculate 7 cents a day for you, and if you rent it for half a month, you can count it for half a month......" The old woman counted her fingers and calculated how much half a month should be.

"Auntie, the two of us rent for twenty days, and 7 cents a day can be used for firewood, a total of four yuan, right?" Liu Xiaping asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's a piece of four, hehe, Auntie hasn't studied, you young people can't count it quickly." The old woman smiled kindly, with a simple face.

"Nacheng, Auntie, you can take us to see the house first."

He Xiang and Liu Xiaping summed it up, a piece of four is not too much and not too little, if you rent it for twenty days, a private house is cheap, and you are tired after walking for such a day, of course you want to rest quickly.

The old woman nodded, and hurriedly took them to see the house.

Along the way, the old woman also chatted with them, and He Xiang and Liu Xiaping probably learned about the old woman.

The old woman is a widow, surnamed Lin, with one and two children, a daughter and a son, because the previous man was a craftsman and had a good family, and he was also killed in the previous few years, leaving only the mother and son, and life was very hard.

Fortunately, there are still two or three houses in the family, which were not taken away because they were dilapidated before, so after the reform, Aunt Lin, who heard the rumors, repaired the house, and followed the neighbors around her, vacating her daughter's small room to rent, and she could barely get by.

Aunt Lin's house is not far from the train station, which is very in line with their needs, the house is only about seven or eight square meters, but it is quite clean, even if it is smaller, it will not make people feel messy, and the two of them feel quite satisfied.

"Auntie, this is a piece of four, can you ask where I can buy bones here?"

Liu Xiaping gave the money and asked by the way.

Aunt Lin accepted the money, and she was naturally very happy in her heart, hearing her ask this, although she didn't know what this girl was going to do, she still said, "This bone is usually not bought, and it is usually left by the people at the food station, if you want, I can help you ask my sister-in-law, her son sells pork at the food station, and if you want bones, you should be able to get it." ”

"Aunt Lin, how much is a pound of bones, we may all need them during this time, so it's better to buy them with money." Liu Xiaping originally didn't hold out hope, after all, now you need a ticket to buy anything, although the pig bones are not valuable, but they are not something that ordinary people can get, but I didn't expect to just ask in passing, there is such a surprise.

"I'll help you ask about this." Aunt Lin didn't ask the two of them what they wanted the bones for, and after saying a few words with a smile, she told them what the kitchen and other places at home were for, and then took the money and left.

As soon as Aunt Lin left, He Xiang pulled her into the house.
