Chapter 16 Longing for the North Island
Bai Ruting is actually a very strong and independent person!
A few days later, the Jianghe Railway Station sounded the sound of firecrackers "crackling", which was particularly lively, all of them were ready to see Ru Ting go to Beidao City, why did no one accompany Ru Ting to Beidao?
She said directly: "There is no need to send it," although Bai Bai and her mother both said to send her, she still insisted on her own approach and went to Beidao alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The nameplate on one side of the railway station reads "Send the river Jiaozi Bai Ruting" such a big horizontal batch, which is blown around by the summer wind, and it is very beautiful to sway.
Bai Ruting's eighth aunt and seventh aunt are all there, there are about ten relatives, and there is also her high school teacher, her face is obviously extremely calm, only Fang Zhi is standing aside as a relatively outsider, he seems to have something to say to Bai Ruting.
At this time, Bai Ruting obviously felt it, and walked to Fang Zhi's side, "You don't have anything to say, right?" Shouldn't all that needs to be said? Shall I go? She said, very clean.
Fang Zhi: "Well, good" said very directly, in fact, he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, he thought that parting should not be muddy and watery, it would be very uncomfortable.
Next, it was Bai Bai's turn and his wife to say some trivial things to their daughter, telling her to take good care of her body, and if she was short of money, she would call home and mail it immediately.
Bai Bai's face was a little reluctant, and his mother repeatedly advised: Ru Ting, if something happens to you over there, you have to call home often, don't work too hard, remember to go home when you have time. ”
"Okay, I know." Ru Ting was in a very happy mood and replied heartily, "The train is about to leave, so I'm on the train, Mom and Dad?" ”
"We'll send you up," Bai Bai said to his wife, so he helped Bai Ruting carry a large bag and a small bag to the platform to find her seat.
After a few minutes of talking, Bai Ruting had already found her seat by the window, where she could see everyone seeing off.
The train was already making a "boom" sound and was moving slowly.
Bai Ruting smiled and waved her hand to the people outside the window, and the train slowly drove faster.
Fang Zhi quickly took out the camera on his body at this time and pressed the shutter for only three seconds.
Then there are the expressions of the send-off passers-by, almost all of them are very happy smiling faces, except for the parents.
The mother of the child is worried that this sentence is not suitable at this time.
After more than ten seconds, everyone could no longer see the train carrying Bai Ruting.
Ru Ting was in a very happy mood on the train, and wrote a diary in the notebook she carried:
"Today, Hakuma was about to go to college, and more than a dozen of my most important people saw him off and gave me my favorite items; When I got on the platform, I was happy because I was admitted to the university of my choice:
North Island Films, I'm very happy.
2 September 1983"
Bai Ju is Ru Ting's pen name, Bai Gap Guoju, the content in the diary is particularly young and simple in Bai Ruting's later life.
But Ru Ting still closed the notebook excitedly and looked forward to her future college career.
The train went all the way north, fast, and had passed through most of the south of the Yangtze River; Passing by the August osmanthus in the south of the Yangtze River, farmland and water towns, cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, Wuhu oil paper umbrellas.
was in full view by Bai Ruting, and it was unobstructed.
The train has been leaving Jianghe City for three hours, and it is already about three o'clock in the afternoon, which is a good time to enjoy the scenery!
At this time, Bai Ju was not as lazy as the others on the train, and almost all the people next to him fell asleep, and some old men even snored.
Bai Ruting couldn't help but be embarrassed! I childishly took out my mobile phone to take pictures of the scenery outside the window, perhaps because I wanted to take these photos and show them to students from all over the university at that time.
It should also be a small release of my high school stressful life, a small decompression.
The train keeps going.
A few hours later, the train stopped, and the male conductor shouted in the carriage with a megaphone: "Fellows, get up and eat, we can stay here for an hour, and give everyone an hour to eat." ”
Ru Ting was woken up by the male conductor's somewhat disturbing voice at this time, rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the time, and it was already 18:15 in the evening, and the tall male conductor repeated again
The words just now: "Fellows, get up and eat, give everyone an hour to eat, there is a restaurant outside the station, everyone can go out to eat, but only for an hour; Everyone remember to be back in an hour! The male conductor repeated this sentence three times.
The people in the carriage were basically gone, only Bai Ruting by the window was left, and the tall male conductor was only in his early 20s.
"What's wrong?" The male conductor said.
Bai Ruting reacted for a long time, and when she saw a slightly handsome face next to her, coupled with her tall figure, she was a little overwhelmed.
"Is it time to eat? I don't even know yet," Bai Ruting came back to her senses and replied stiffly.
"Otherwise, let's eat together, it's only an hour, let's go, go down together, and see where you should go to study." The male conductor asked. 、
Ru Ting hesitated for a while, and looked at the male conductor, who didn't look like a bad person, because from his eyes, she could see that he was not deeply involved in the world.
There is always a person in this world who believes in feelings, and if you have to define it, it is called "a person of temperament".
In order to dispel Bai Ruting's uneasiness, the male conductor took out a document from his pocket and gave her a look.
The certificate reads, Lin Zheng, No. 25, Linjia Village, Sizhou City, Southwest Province, and the person on the certificate is handsome and timeless.
Lin Zheng and Bai Ruting got out of the carriage and walked outside the platform to find the hotel.
"Where did we get here? It feels so big. Bai Ruting asked.
"This is Lijiadu, and it will take about 5 hours to get to the North Island, let's find a place to eat first." Lin Zheng pointed to the restaurant next to the side where there were not many families, "Let's go, go there." ”
I found out carefully that there are several restaurants here, all of which are doing extremely good business, and the restaurant the two of them are going to with a very straightforward signboard, which is called "Lijia Restaurant".
Bai Ruting and Lin Zheng found a position close to the window and sat down, at this time it was already 18:30 in the evening, and there were about 40 minutes to eat, of course, Bai Ruting didn't have to worry about this, because the handsome guy sitting opposite her was the person in charge of the carriage she was sitting in.
After Lin Zheng ordered two dishes, "Lijia Dumplings" and "Lijiang Small Fried Fish", he asked Bai Ruting to order a few dishes.
Ru Ting was also polite, and ordered three dishes: "Pear Blossom Chicken Soup", "Jiangnan Cabbage", and "Garlic Fried Meat".
There are a total of 5 dishes, Ru Ting is indeed a little hungry, and she is not cheap to sit in front of the "stranger".
Lin Zheng saw that Bai Ruting was not polite at all, and he was very happy and satisfied. So the two quickly opened the topic.
"I was admitted to a university in the north this year to study acting, and my family said to send me, but I refused," Bai Ruting said with a smile in front of Lin Zheng.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be such an independent and strong girl, I think when I was still studying, my family sent me to a farther place!" Lin Zheng said in surprise.
Lin Zheng's "haha" laughter has great significance, firstly, he was able to meet such an independent and special woman here, and secondly, he felt admiration for the girl opposite who could be admitted to the university of North Island Film.
After a few words, the dish was already on the table, and Lin Zheng was very satisfied with the speed of cooking.
"Let's eat, it's not early, catch the train early." , Lin Zheng said to Bai Ruting very happily.
The two of them didn't say anything, they were a little hungry in the face of the big meal on the table, and they didn't care about the taste, and immediately swallowed it one bite at a time.
At this time, it was already 19.00 in the evening, and it was half an hour to eat, and there were still more than ten minutes to enter the pit.
After the two finished eating, they looked at each other and smiled, but of course they didn't eat so exaggeratedly, and there was still something to chat about during the meal.
For example, the two of them were when they were young, or the trivial matters in their hometown, although they didn't talk too much.
But in the content of the conversation, we all know that the values of the other party are basically the same, although the results are not the same.
Lin Zheng stood up and turned around to pay the bill, and suddenly a few photos fell from his pocket on the stool, and he didn't notice it.
At this time, Bai Ruting found it, went to pick it up, there were three in total, thought about it in her mind, smiled, and said, "It's still a little beautiful", and then hid it.
Wait until the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue to return it to him, this is her inner thoughts now.
After Lin Zheng finished paying the bill, Bai Ruting followed, because the time was really not early, and there should only be about ten minutes left.
Almost all the people in the other restaurants on the street went back one after another, and only a few were left unfinished, Lin Zheng saw it, and his face was anxious and echoed loudly: "You guys hurry up and eat, there are still ten minutes, the train will not wait for anyone!" ”
Although it was already night, Bai Ruting at this time clearly saw that under the illumination of the dim yellow street lamp, a tall boy in a train uniform was protecting every carriage he was responsible for, no less than one passenger;
There is a sense of responsibility and security.
At 19.15, the passengers at this time all sat in their seats and began to look at the tall male conductor Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng is 1.8 meters by sight, but he has a very humble character, and because of this conscientious conductor on the train, more people remember this train.
Most of the passengers on the bus are students who are going to study in the north, or migrant workers who are going to work in the north at this time, but they all have one thing in common, and the goals are basically the same.
All the cities you need to go to are in the north.
It takes four hours to get to Beidao City, and the train has already passed through many cities in the middle, passing through the Jiangnan Water Town, Mogao Hills, and Zhonggan Plain, Bai Ruting's heart has slowly become more and more calm from the excitement at the beginning; The streetlights on both sides of the tracks felt brighter and brighter.
This is the general economic difference between the north and the south, the closer you are to the charming city of the North Island, the more prosperous it becomes, and the more splendid the surrounding buildings become.
The terrain is also flat.
Bai Ruting recalled that at noon, she was still seen off by a large number of relatives in the south, but now she has stepped into the north, and she can't help but sigh with emotion, time flies!
I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, there were a few missed calls on the screen, a call from Fang Zhi at 15.40, and a call from my mother at 18:30.
Bai Ruting paused, thought about it, recalled a certain moment in her mind, and broadcast the phone to Fang Zhi.
"Doodoo, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please call again later." The phone tone says.
Hanging up the phone, his mind continued to think of a certain moment with Fang Zhi, and found that Fang Zhi had integrated into his 19-year-old years.
Three minutes later, Ru Ting's mobile phone suddenly vibrated and rang, it was Fang Zhi's phone.
'Hey, why did you call at 3 o'clock in the afternoon?' Bai Ruting asked.
"I didn't say anything to you at the train station at first, so I felt a little uncomfortable," Fang Zhi replied.
"Hehehe, then why didn't you say it earlier?" Bai Ruting was talking, her heart full of joy.
"Where have you been? Ting girl? Say a break," Fang Zhi also responded.
"Guess, go abroad, haha" Bai Ruting said.
"Impossible, ah," Fang Zhi received, although he knew that it was not possible, he still insisted on making himself stupid.
"I'm in Dandong, don't worry." Bai Ruting said.
"Oh, okay, you pay attention yourself, then I'll hang up" Fang Zhi said very dryly: "I'll call you again when I have time, or you can call me when you get there, remember."
"yes, okay." Bai Ruting also said cleanly.
Fang Zhi immediately hung up the phone.
But then came countless images in my mind and from Fang Zhi's childhood.
Bai Ruting's pen name is "White Horse", which means white gap over the horse.
