Chapter 13: Train Anecdotes
At this time, there was no high-speed rail, and there was no direct sleeper car, and the most advanced train to the capital was the express train, because there were a lot of people on the train during the eleventh long holiday, and Ling's mother only bought two tickets because she was distressed about the money.
When Ling Xiaoxiao went to college, she often bought tickets for the back and forth cars, who let her go to the university was too rubbish and didn't even make a unified booking, and she was very satisfied that the school could buy a ticket. Ling's mother saw that there were a lot of people in the car, and many people were standing in the aisle pushing and shoving, and when she looked at her daughter, she was a little apologetic in her eyes, if she had the money to buy two sleeper tickets, her daughter would not have to suffer with her.
Ling Xiaoxiao knew that she was blaming herself again when she saw Ling's mother's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Mom, where do we put the bread we bought?" I'm a little hungry, let's get something to eat first. Hearing that her daughter was hungry, Ling's mother quickly began to open the bag to find food for her daughter, bread, milk, sausages and various snacks were all taken out and placed on the small dining table, and by the way, she beckoned the two people sitting opposite to eat together.
The two people sitting opposite them are a young couple who go to college in Bincheng and go to the capital to have a fun trip with classmates during the eleventh long vacation. Seeing that Mother Ling greeted them so warmly to eat, the little couple didn't excuse themselves, took out all the things in their backpacks, and put them on the small dining table to beckon Mother Ling and them to eat together.
Ling's mother went to school just in time for the interruption of the college entrance examination during the special period, she herself had never gone to college, and she was very eager to see college students, and kept beckoning the little couple to eat and eat, and in the end, all four of them ate a little.
"Mom, I really can't eat, Sister Zhang and Brother Liu should also be full. Mom, if you're full, let's clean up. Ling Xiaoxiao saw that Ling's mother had been firing all the time, and the little couple opposite couldn't hold it at all, so she hurriedly pulled her mother, which was too enthusiastic and didn't seem to be good.
Mother Ling reacted when she heard her daughter say this, and looked at the little couple apologetically: "I'm sorry, look, I don't think you're much older than my daughter, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of yourself." Did you eat a little more just now? I still have hawthorn slices here, do you want to eat something to promote digestion? ”
Mother Ling said as she was about to go to the bag to find something, but the little couple hurriedly stopped: "Aunt Ye, don't look for it, we haven't eaten, don't worry, you greet us like this, it's too late for us to be happy." ”
From Bincheng to Beijing, the train has to travel for more than ten hours, Ling Xiaoxiao took out two sets of mathematical simulation test papers from her bag and prepared to start brushing the questions. The teacher's homework was too ruthless, and she couldn't finish it if she didn't hurry up. When the little couple saw her taking the train and hurried to do her homework, they kept praising her for loving her studies seriously and being a good child, and smiled and said that if there were any questions that she couldn't ask, they could ask them.
After Ling Xiaoxiao was reborn, her face automatically thickened a lot, and when she heard them say this, she nodded and said yes again and again, and even turned directly to the last question of the test paper, which she had pondered for a long time before and couldn't find the idea to solve the problem, and now someone is willing to explain it to her, which is definitely unwanted. The little couple didn't expect Ling Xiaoxiao to be so realistic, and they took the test paper and looked at it after a little stunned, junior high school mathematics is not difficult for them, but the time interval is a little long, and many formulas are not very clear, so the two of them are not very fast, but the foundation of the people is still there, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't wait long to see them write the steps of solving the problem in detail on the scratch paper, and also analyzed the solution ideas for her.
The little couple's thinking is very clear, not the same as the way the math teacher usually talks, but it is easier to understand, Ling Xiaoxiao had a lot of things that she didn't understand before when they talked about it like this, and the two sets of math test papers were already done by the little couple before going to bed, which was not a little more efficient than when they did the questions themselves at home. Ling's mother didn't forget to study when she saw her daughter going out, and she couldn't close her mouth when she was smiling on the side, and poured water and made fruits from time to time.
In the second half of the night, Ling Xiaoxiao really couldn't hold on, her eyes could keep seeing the wrong line when she memorized words, she no longer forced herself to put away the books and test papers and leaned on Ling's mother's shoulder to sleep, Ling's mother didn't dare to sleep because the bag was full of cash, for fear of being stolen, so she sat for a night, and the next day Ling Xiaoxiao woke up and found that Ling's mother didn't sleep all night and was distressed, and she couldn't stop blaming herself.
The train slowly drove into the station, and the little couple had already packed up a backpack, and said goodbye to Ling's mother with a smile, and asked them to go to the school to find them when they had the opportunity to go to Bincheng in the future, so they got off the train first to find their classmates, and Ling's mother checked the things again to confirm that there were no things lost and not sorted out, and then took Ling Xiaoxiao off the train.
Walking out of the station, Ling Xiaoxiao took Ling's mother directly to the dynamic batch, and did not choose the Nanhongmen wholesale market where most people go back, although the goods in the Nanhongmen wholesale market are more and more complete, but the goods over there are higher in age, and many wholesalers in Bincheng take the goods over there, and the wholesale market over there will close at ten o'clock in the morning, and it is too late for them to rush over. Ling Xiaoxiao is more familiar with the dynamic batch, which is open all day, can be bought wholesale or alone, the style of clothing is more novel, and foreign trade goods can often be found, with good quality and cheap.
Familiar with the way to take Ling's mother to take the subway all the way to the dynamic batch, this will be different from Ling Xiaoxiao when she went to college, at this time the underground wholesale market has not yet been built, and the legendary greenhouses full of foreign trade goods have not been demolished. Ling Xiaoxiao and Ling's mother first opened a room in a small hotel next to the moving batch, and there are a lot of people from all over the country who come to buy goods here, so there are many private small hotels opened by the natives of the surrounding capital, and the room is not very good, but the price is cheap, and there is hot water around the clock.
Ling Xiaoxiao discussed with Ling's mother, and prepared to step on this day first, and first familiarize herself with the various wholesale markets here. The two of them locked their luggage in the room, took only a woven bag and rushed into the greenhouse. Women always have a natural enthusiasm for shopping, and Ling Ma's eyes were dazzled as soon as she entered here, completely forgetting that they were here to step on it, holding Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, there were only three words left in her mind: buy, buy, buy.
However, because of the difference in the times, Ling Xiaoxiao always felt that the clothes at this time looked a little dirty, and Ling Ma picked up nine out of ten clothes that she couldn't look at, which indirectly suppressed Ling Ma's impulse. Otherwise, their trip to the capital will become a shopping trip to the capital.
Because of the eleventh long holiday, people come and go in the greenhouse, and all kinds of sounds are mixed together, which is super lively. After Ling's mother was impulsive, she took out the small notebook she carried with her, looked at the advice given to her by the little sister before leaving, and prepared to start researching.
