Finding a corner seat in the waiting room, Chen Youshan held his backpack in his arms and looked at the train timetable hanging on the wall with a blank look.

In the backpack are the things that his mother has prepared for him, there are cured meat, new clothes, some local products grown at home, and at the bottom of the backpack, there is also a plastic bag wrapped in several layers of 2,000 yuan. Although these two thousand yuan are not all the family's savings, they also account for most of them. When his father gave him the money, he did not refuse and accepted it silently.

In fact, he didn't need the money, but he still accepted it, and he knew that his parents would only be relieved if he accepted the money. He had 100,000 dollars in his card, but the money couldn't be known to his parents, not even anyone else. He could only send this money home every month as a salary after arriving in the capital.

The car is a car at 3:10 p.m., I don't know if it's because of the reason that the college entrance examination has just ended, and now there are a lot of people in the waiting room, and most of them are obviously students who are going to travel. This is a small county town, of course, it is impossible to have something as tall as an airport, and if you want to go far away, the train is the most convenient means of transportation.

Chen Youshan glanced around, then took out a torn-out book from his backpack and looked at it.

"The Catcher in the Rye" was bought two years ago for five yuan at a garbage recycling station in the county seat. He often goes there to look for books, and every time he has a lot of gains, almost all of the two or three hundred books piled up on the simple bookshelves at his home are collected at this recycling bin at a small price. He doesn't have any requirements for books, he will buy literary epics, biographical essays, anime magazines, and even some psychology and economic books, as long as he can understand them, he will not refuse to come.

I have to admit that the people in the city are really wasteful, and a small half of the books he took back are new or even unopened. Sometimes he even thinks that if the children in the city don't secretly sell some books, they children from poor families may not have books to read.

A black BMW sedan stopped outside the waiting room, and two young girls stepped out of the car, dragged their luggage directly from the trunk, and waved goodbye to the driver and walked into the waiting room excitedly.

"Why are there so many people?" Looking at the somewhat crowded crowd in the waiting room, a girl in denim shorts frowned unconsciously, as if she didn't want to join in.

Another girl in a flower dress smiled and said, "Let's wait outside, it's only half an hour anyway." ”

The cowboy girl swept around the waiting room, turned and walked out, but she stopped again just after taking two steps, turned her head in disbelief, and locked her eyes on a corner not far away.

"Mingyue, who do you think is that?"

The girl in the flower skirt looked at her puzzledly, and when her eyes fell on that corner, her eyes dilated violently, obviously a little incredulous.

"Let's go and have a look." The cowboy girl seemed to be interested, and walked directly towards Chen Youshan with her luggage, her face full of curiosity.

Xia Mingyue came back to her senses and hurriedly followed. Apparently wondering how he ended up here.

"Chen Youshan." Zhang Xiaoke shouted from afar.

Chen Youshan held the book in his hand and read it with relish, shielding all interference from the outside world.

Zhang Xiaoke stopped in front of him, and directly reached out and snatched the book in his hand.

Chen Youshan raised his head, then was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "You...... How did it come? ”

"I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaoke and Chen Youshan are not in the same class, and they have only met a few times before, so they can't get acquainted, but her personality is so arrogant.

Chen Youshan said: "I went to the capital and was waiting for the car. ”

"You're going to the capital?" Zhang Xiaoke's eyes widened, "What are you doing in the capital?" ”

"Part-time job, make money."

Zhang Xiaoke was stunned, blinked a pair of big eyes, and looked at him in disbelief.

Seeing Xia Mingyue coming over with his luggage, he asked, "You guys are going out too?" ”

Zhang Xiaoke didn't seem to have come back to his senses and didn't reply.

"We also went to the capital, and the volunteers we filled in were all schools in the capital, and we were sure that we could be admitted, so we decided to go there first to familiarize ourselves and relax by the way." Xia Mingyue heard his answer just now, and asked with some disbelief: "Are you really going to the capital?" ”

Chen Youshan nodded.

"I don't believe it, you bring your ticket to me to see." Zhang Xiaoke came back to his senses and stretched out his palm directly.

Chen Youshan looked at her speechlessly.

"Bring it, I won't want you." Zhang Xiaoke urged impatiently.

Chen Youshan couldn't cry or laugh, took out the train ticket and handed it over.

Zhang Xiaoke quickly took it and glanced at it, and then looked at him with a surprised expression: "You really want to go to the capital?" ”

Chen Youshan was speechless, he didn't know how to answer her strange question, and secretly said Is it necessary for me to be so surprised when I go to the capital?

"Hard seat?" Xia Mingyue also glanced at the train ticket, and her face was full of surprise, "How do you buy a hard seat?" ”

"Save money." Chen Youshan said. The hard seat is more than half the money compared to the sleeper, which is hundreds of dollars.

"Provincial ......" Zhang Xiaoke looked at him, not knowing what to say, "It takes more than 20 hours to sit from here to the capital." ”

Chen Youshan said with a smile: "It's okay, I can sit still." ”

"The K1234 train to the capital is about to enter the station, please check your tickets and get on the train."

"The K1234 train to the capital is about to enter the station, please check your tickets and get on the train."

The announcement in the waiting room suddenly went off.

Chen Youshan stood up and asked, "Are you guys also on this train?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Mingyue nodded.

"You're really not going to change a sleeper? It's too late to change. Zhang Xiaoke looked at him and said.

Chen Youshan shook his head: "Let's go, check the ticket." ”

Zhang Xiaoke looked at him helplessly: "I'll pay." ”

"Thank you." Chen Youshan laughed and said, "I like hard seats. ”

"Happy ......" Zhang Xiaoke was speechless.

Chen Youshan stood behind the team with his backpack on the side.

Zhang Xiaoke and Xia Mingyue glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and followed.

The hard seat and the sleeper are not on the same platform, and when they get out of the ticket gate, the three of them are separated.

Chen Youshan and Zhang Xiaoke greeted each other, and went alone with their backpacks, leaving a silent and depressed back for the two.

"Mingyue, why do you think he only scored more than 300 points?" Zhang Xiaoke suddenly felt some sympathy for this young man.

"I don't know." Xia Mingyue shook her head, looked at his back and said, "I always felt that this matter was not as simple as we seem. ”

"Oh, let's go, let's go." Zhang Xiaoke obviously didn't think as much as she thought, and dragged Xingsheng towards another platform.
