Chapter 134: Father-in-law's Wish

Wei Wei hurriedly replied: "My sister asked the director of the ticket office to sign the sleeper ticket, but the director of the ticket room said that the family visit ticket does not enjoy the treatment of the sleeper, if you want to sit in the sleeper, you have to pay for it yourself, the family visit ticket can only be counted as a hard seat ticket, and the sleeper ticket has to be taken by yourself." ”

As soon as I said that I was visiting relatives, Xiao Yuanhang suddenly remembered, after marrying Wei Wei in her previous life, she told herself more than once about the experience of visiting relatives with her father to Ludong, Wei Zhengmin's hometown is Gaoqiao Township, Jin County, Ludong, because the family life is very difficult, at the age of 40, he has not married a daughter-in-law, at the age of 41, Ludong Province mobilized young people from all over the province to help build the northeast branch, Wei Zhengmin signed up, although he was older, but unmarried, at that time the farmers were unwilling to leave the land they had cultivated for generations, He made up his way to Tohoku and worked as a stevedore at Furukawa Railway Station.

When Wei Zhengmin was 47 years old, through the matchmaking of colleagues in the unit, he married a girl who was abandoned by her husband, and this woman was Wei Wei's mother, and gave birth to Wei Shan and Wei Wei sisters. After coming to the Northeast to work until retirement, he never returned to Ludong's hometown, nor did he communicate with his family.

Due to the overwork of his youth, Wei Zhengmin suffered from severe emphysema and pulmonary heart disease, and after retirement, homesickness became more and more deep, when he came out of his hometown, his father was no longer there, and there was only one brother who was 15 years older than him in the family, this time he came to the Northeast for 26 years, and the old brother was more than 80 years old this year.

Wei Wei often mentioned this family visit experience with Xiao Yuanhang, and he felt very deeply. Xiao Yuanhang summarized several aspects for her, one is to Lu Dong's father's hometown, she can't understand what they say, and it is very difficult to communicate. The second is that when he went back, the uncle was still alive, his eyebrows and beard were all white, and the eldest brother of the uncle's family was 62 years old, and even had great-grandchildren, and the uncle's family was the fifth generation in the same house. What she can't stand the most is that she called her aunt when she was thirty or forty years old, and she called her aunt when she was still holding her son in her arms in her twenties. Xiao Yuanhang summed up for her in the last round: Senior! The third is that Lu Dong doesn't eat rice but only noodles, although she was given white flour steamed buns, but Wei Wei couldn't eat it, and when she went, she weighed nearly 110, and it fell to less than 90 pounds in half a month, in Wei Wei's words, she almost didn't starve to death in that place.

Xiao Yuanhang also knew that the family visit ticket did not enjoy the sleeper regulations, but his future daughter-in-law and father-in-law had to enjoy it if they didn't enjoy it, so he said: "Wei Wei, you and your uncle pack up your things and come with me, and I will arrange a place for you." ”

Wei Zhengmin said: "Xie Lu, thank you Xiao Xiao, it's good to sit here, so I won't trouble you." After saying this, he began to gasp again.

Xiao Yuanhang saw that Wei Zhengmin didn't understand what he meant, the reason why he didn't directly say that he arranged sleepers for them was because there were too many passengers around, and everyone wanted to make up for the sleepers, but there were so many sleepers on the car, and now this car was the peak period of passenger flow, and the leaders of the sub-bureau and the leaders of the section were going to take 14 sleepers, and now he had 5 or 6 left, in addition to reserving 2 for emergency, there were 3 or 4 sleepers that could be used, therefore, the train office seat was not sold, he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the surrounding passengers, It's even worse when it comes out.

Xiao Yuanhang said patiently: "Uncle Wei, you are not in good health, you have been sitting here for more than 20 hours, what should you do if you are tired before you get home?" Come with me, you can have a place to rest when you're tired. ”

The passenger next to him heard the clue, and a passenger stepped forward and said: "Captain, you can find me a place, you can spend as much as you want, there is not even a seat on such a long road, I really can't stand it!" ”

"It's o, it's o! Commander, we're not afraid of spending money, you can make up a sleeper for me, you say, I'll shoot you as much money as you want. When the surrounding passengers heard this, four or five more followed.

"What coax, what coax?" Saying that the money was given in front of the crowd was dissatisfied with the trouble, Xiao Yuanhang was very experienced in dealing with such things, and pointed at those few people with his hand and shouted loudly, and immediately their white spoon voice was suppressed. Then he said to the middle-aged man who stood up first: "Comrade, you have also seen the situation of this train, the tickets are sold at the station, and there is no vacant seat on the car, but after arriving at Jinmen, dozens of berths can be vacated on the car, if you want to make up for the sleeper, you can wait in line at the train office seat in advance before Jinmen Station, how can you make up a sleeper." ”

Xiao Yuanhang first suppressed the arrogance of those who wanted to make trouble, and then grabbed one point, that is, the first one who wanted to make up for the sleeper ticket, and explained to him the situation in the car, but also to explain to everyone that at this time, everyone would pay attention to what he said, and there would be no interjection and coaxing. Just explaining the situation is not a problem, we must give them hope, and then he immediately said that dozens of bunks can be vacated at Jinmen Station, and everyone has to go to the queue in advance, and they can basically make up the news of the sleeper, stabilize them, and at this time, those who really want to make up the sleeper will not say anything, the situation is here, and it is not bad to insist on more than ten hours to make up the sleeper in Jinmen.

"Xie Lu Xie Commander, I will go to line up in advance then!" As soon as the middle-aged man said this, several passengers next to him also said that they wanted to queue up in advance, and a few people who wanted to coax them shut up and kept their mouths shut. In fact, there are more than 60 sleeper passengers who get off at Jinmen Station, and almost a sleeper car can be vacated, but Xiao Yuanhang didn't say so much, there are many passengers who need sleepers, and how many are not enough to make up.

Xiao Yuanhang saw that the few passengers who wanted to coax were silent, and turned to Wei Wei and said: "Wei Wei, you pack up your things and go to car 8 with the uncle, I will first find a way to change you to the seat of car 8, car 8 is an office car, and it is convenient to make up the ticket after the sleeper is vacated in Jinmen." As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Wei.

Wei Wei understood what Xiao Yuanhang meant, and said to Wei Zhengmin: "Dad, let's go to the 8-seater, you are not in good health, even if you spend money, you have to make up a sleeper, otherwise I will fall ill before I get to my hometown, what should I do?" ”

The youngest daughter is Wei Zhengmin's weakness, and his body is indeed not good, seeing that the youngest daughter said this, he had to nod and agree, packed up the luggage package, Xiao Yuanhang helped carry it, separated the crowded flow in the carriage, and went in the direction of the office car.

When Xiao Yuanhang arrived at the office car, he didn't stop, but walked over directly, walked through the dining car to the soft sleeper, opened the private room and let Wei Zhengmin and Wei Wei in, and said, "Wei Wei, you and the uncle will rest here first, give me your ticket, and I will sign two sleepers for you." ”

Wei Zhengmin was already out of breath when he walked here, he didn't want to have a sleeper to lie down and rest, in fact, Xiao Yuanhang didn't know what to say was that Wei Zhengmin had never sat on a sleeper in his life, and he had a wish in his heart that had been buried for many years, that is, to sit in a sleeper once in his lifetime, but he had never talked to anyone about it, Xiao Yuanhang inadvertently fulfilled a wish for his future father-in-law!

At Wei Wei's urging, Wei Zhengmin took out the railway retirement certificate and the family visit ticket from his jacket pocket and handed them to Xiao Yuanhang.

Xu Yanchun, who had been following Xiao Yuanhang, stretched out his hand and asked for the ticket in Xiao Yuanhang's hand, and said, "Captain Xiao, you take a break here, I'll go over and sign it." ”

Although the regulation is that family visit tickets are not allowed to sign free sleepers, but at this time the management is not strict, and there is no concern about this matter, even if there is an inspection on the train to check the ticket, it is all inside the railway, and it is also turned a blind eye to the past, and it is true that it will not be called.

After a short time, Xu Yanchun came back with a family visit ticket for the sleeper that had been signed, handed it to Xiao Yuanhang and said, "Captain Xiao, I signed the lower berths of car 17 and No. 20." ”

Xu Yanchun saw that Xiao Yuanhang was so concerned about the affairs of the father and daughter, and he rushed to sign the sleeper for the family, and helped to carry the bag for the family, knowing that this was the entry that he attached great importance to, and then seeing the beautiful and abnormal Wei Wei, he knew it in his heart, and when he arrived at the office car, he directly asked the salesman to sign the only two lower berths to them.

The soft sleeper car is 10 cars, and there is a distance of 1780 meters to 17 cars, and the length of the passenger car is 2.2, and the length is the abbreviation of the converted length. I don't know if you have paid attention to the road, there are a lot of vehicle information printed at the end of the carriage, such as how much weight, how much load, how much to change the length, etc., 1 change the length is 12 meters, the length of the passenger car with a length of 2.2 is 2** meters, and the distance between the 7 cars is a little more than 180 meters.

Xiao Yuanhang carried his bag and sent Wei Zhengmin and Wei Wei to 17 cars, and after settling down, he said: "Wei Wei, you and Uncle will rest for a while, I will go to Qianhuo first, and come back later." ”

Wei Wei said very gratefully: "Xiao Yuanhang, thank you, if I hadn't met you today, my father and I would have to stay up all night in the carriage!" ”

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "You're welcome, you can find me if you have anything, I'll go first." ”

After inspecting the carriage and handing over the shift with Xu Yanchun, when Xiao Yuanhang went to the dining car to eat, he found Yang Dali, the captain of the dining car, and said: "Brother Yang, I have two relatives who take the car to Jin County, you fry two dishes for a while, and I will send them over after eating." ”

Yang Dali smiled and said, "No problem, I'll let the chef fry it for you." With that, he went into the back kitchen and arranged for the chef to stir-fry.

After Xiao Yuanhang finished eating, Yang Dali had already packed the rice and vegetables in a convenient lunch box, Xiao Yuanhang took a lot of food in the sales truck, and the future father-in-law of Zhilu Dao took a sip and took a lot of Tongshui liquor, Yang Dali saw that Xiao Yuanhang had taken so many things, so he asked the waiter to help him get 17 cars.

The future daughter-in-law and father-in-law took their own car, of course Xiao Yuanhang had to take care of it meticulously, considering that Wei Zhengmin was unable to move so much so he didn't let him eat in the dining car, Wei Zhengmin was very excited when he saw that Xiao Yuanhang had brought him so much food, but he didn't say anything thankful, just said vigorously: "Too much, too much, how can you eat so many things." ”
