Chapter 324 Arrived in Wuhan
When Xiao Ju and his party finally climbed onto the train and grabbed three seats to settle down breathlessly, the family of three was in the mood to look at the train and the situation in the car. As for Hu Baobao, he couldn't settle down at all, because he was afraid, he asked to sit in the innermost seat, with his head down and shrunk into a ball, trying not to become the target of people's attention. And he had already worn a little chrysanthemum coat, the clothes were gray, and the style was the kind of wide and wide smock that country women love to wear when they go to work in the fields. It's a pity that the bare snow-white thighs still make her the object of attention of the men crowded in the carriage.
"Sister, there are too many people in this train! It's crowded! It's boring! Zhuang Zhuang watched that there were still people who kept trying to squeeze into the car through the half-open window, and couldn't help frowning and said.
"Little brother, there is a carriage that is not crowded! It's just that it's a first-class car, and we are a fourth-class car, and the ticket price of the first-class car is a big ocean more expensive than that of the fourth-class car! Only those gentlemen, factory owners, senior staff, teachers, petty officials, and actors and stars have the spare money to sit in that waiting carriage! Poor people like us are only squeezed into the fourth class. A middle-aged man who grabbed the seat opposite Xiao Ju and them accosted Zhuang Zhuang with a smile while stuffing his luggage under the seat.
"It's going to cost an ocean?! I don't know how many meat wraps I can buy to eat! When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and exclaimed.
"That's it! Not only can you buy a lot of meat film, but you can also buy half a stone of rice, which is equivalent to a month's food for a family of three! The middle-aged man finally tucked his wrap under the seat and straightened up to talk to Zhuangzhuang. The tone completely regarded Zhuang Zhuang as a peer, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Because Xiao Ju and the others only grabbed three seats, Zhuang Zhuang was sitting on Xiao Ju's lap at this time, and Xiao Ju was thin, so two-thirds of the people were tightly covered by Zhuang Zhuang, which made her the one who was ignored and saved.
At this time, Xiao Ju listened to the middle-aged man's words, but she had a preliminary understanding of the current purchasing power of an ocean. Now one stone is ten buckets, that is, one hundred and fifty catties in the previous life, and half a stone, naturally it is seventy-five catties. Seventy-five pounds! According to many poor families, they have two meals a day. Even how to eat one meal a day. These 75 catties of rice may be enough for a poor family of three to support a month's ration for a month and a half, so they will naturally choose to squeeze into the fourth-class carriage and save a silver dollar!
It's just that Xiaoju regrets that when she bought a train ticket, she neglected this aspect! In the previous life, trains were also divided into sleepers and seats. The sleeper is divided into hard sleeper and soft sleeper; There are two types of seats: hard and soft! Why didn't she think to ask about the division of train carriages in this era. That's the case. Don't squeeze these fourth-class carriages! With so many people, Xiao Ju felt that the air in the carriage had become thinner, coupled with the various smells of the human body in the air. It made her head groggy and unable to wake up.
As for Xiao Juniang, because the eyes of the men around her intentionally or unintentionally swept towards Hu Baobao's two snow-white thighs exposed outside, and she sat next to Hu Baobao, she naturally felt the colored eyes staring at Hu Baobao, and she was embarrassed and unhappy in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to listen to Zhuang Zhuang and people gossiping.
Xiao Juniang, who had been entangled in her heart for most of the day, finally couldn't help but pull out a pair of trousers she was wearing from her bag and threw them on Hu Baobao's body, and said in a low voice, "Baby, put them on!" ”
Hu Baobao also felt the eyes of the man in the carriage staring at her, but in the 'Spring Building' for a few years, she has long lost her shyness to the man's gaze. In the 'Spring Building', if the guests stare with this kind of eyes, the life will be better than the people who don't pay attention to the guests, because there are guests, which means that the mother will be polite to her, and the various treatments will be a little better.
Hu Baobao is now worried and scared that a few thugs from the 'Chunyi Building' suddenly rushed in from the entrance of the carriage to arrest her, and she was full of prayers at this time that the train would leave Zhengzhou quickly, and leave this place where her life would enter a dark life.
In fact, Hu Baobao was really worried in vain. Because Huang Dashu, a rickshaw driver entrusted by the 'Chunyi Building' to monitor her, had already run home with the silver dollar given by Xiaoju, preparing to flee back to his hometown with his family to buy a few acres of land to live a stable life. I didn't plan to go to the 'Spring Building' to report to my mother that the 'Peony Girl' had met her family at the train station and was taken by her family to prepare for the train to leave Zhengzhou.
Hu Baobao hurriedly put the pants given by Xiao Juniang on his body, and then the train finally started. And those passengers who climbed on the windows and did not climb onto the train watched helplessly as the slowly departing train scattered.
"Oh! Sister, the train is moving! The train is on! Zhuang Zhuang, who was riding the train for the first time, had already felt the movement of the train from the changing scenery outside, and immediately couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
"Hmmm! Zhuang Zhuang studied hard, and he will be able to go out in the future, not only by first-class train, but also by plane, and even by car of his own! Xiao Ju was nostalgic for the lifestyle of her previous life, and her tone unconsciously became a little low and lost.
And Hu Baobao recovered from the fear and fear of being caught back at any time because of the start of the train, and her face began to show a sense of relief that she had finally been liberated, at this time she couldn't help but interject in a good mood, "Zhuangzhuang, then my sister-in-law will follow you to enjoy the blessing of riding in the car!" ”
Hu Baobao is no stranger to the kind of black car with two big eyes, no one pulls the iron-shelled car, in Zhengzhou can often see those who have the power and money in Zhengzhou driving this car rampant on the street, sometimes she even thinks, if there is a guest who drives this kind of car takes a fancy to her and redeems her as an aunt's wife, how good it would be! It's a pity that that kind of people like those girls who have read books and know how to read, although she looks a little good, but she doesn't know a single big word, in the 'Spring Building', you can't get in touch with that kind of rich person at all.
"Sister, why did you take her away? I don't like her! Zhuang Zhuang ignored Hu Baobao, and at the same time twisted his body, turned his back to Hu Baobao, and complained to Xiao Ju in his mouth.
"I know! Strong! In fact, my sister just thinks she is pitiful! Have some sympathy for her! Coupled with the situation at that time, my sister really couldn't leave with a hard heart. If she heard that we had offended the ** of the Zhengzhou station, instead of letting us leave, but still pestering us, Sister would definitely not care about this aunt. But ......" Xiao Ju turned her head to look at Hu Baobao, who had become lively and talked a lot because of the start of the train, she was chatting excitedly with the middle-aged man who first accosted Zhuang Zhuang at this time, and from time to time she covered her mouth and laughed, so that Xiao Ju Niang, who was sitting on the side, frowned so much that she could kill flies.
"But I still don't like her! Sister, are we all going to live with her in the future? I don't want to live with her! Zhuang Zhuang still looked unhappy, he has not called 'aunt' since they met.
"I don't want to live with her either! Zhuangzhuang, when you arrive in Wuhan, let her stay in Wuhan at that time, or will the three of us go to Shanghai, okay? Xiao Ju was not happy to see Zhuang Zhuang, and then looked at Hu Baobao's dusty face, and she really didn't like it in her heart. After a long turn in her mind, she remembered that there were two villas in Wuhan whose property rights fell into her name. But in two years, as soon as the Liberation War ended, it would be difficult to keep these two villas, so it would be better to simply give one to Hu Baobao, so that she would stay in Wuhan willingly.
"Really? Sister? Zhuang Zhuang attached himself to Xiao Ju's ear and asked again.
"Hmmm! Don't worry, my sister will find a way! Xiao Ju's somewhat irritable heart began to gradually become calm, and he reached out to hug Zhuang Zhuang who was sitting on his lap tighter, and at the same time, he leaned back and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
When the train Xiaoju and her team arrived in Wuhan, it was already one o'clock in the morning on the second night after leaving Zhengzhou. Xiao Ju's family has no experience in making trains, mainly because Xiao Ju has no experience in taking trains this year, and they are in a hurry, so they don't bring anything to eat. Although there is it in a small space, it is all raw flour, and in front of everyone's eyes, she can't disappear into the small space to make food.
Other experienced passengers by train have already carried a lot of dry pancakes in their luggage. Xiaoju first bought some dry pancakes from other passengers who brought food at a high price, and then when the train stopped at a small station halfway, she climbed out of the window again, found a mobile stall selling food at the small station and bought a few large bags of food.
"I didn't expect Wuhan to be much better than Zhengzhou! It looks not only bigger, but also a much more beautiful place, and the clothes worn by the people here should also be beautiful...... "Hu Baobao got off the train, those two eyes were a little insufficient, look east and west, and at the same time a mouth kept admiring, even the most tolerant Xiao Ju Niang was far away from her, so as not to poison her ears by Hu Baobao.
Out of Wuhan Railway Station, Xiao Ju recruited three vehicles to pull the rickshaw of the train guests, and when he asked the price, not only Xiao Ju Niang, Zhuang Zhuang, and Hu Baobao were startled, but even Xiao Ju himself couldn't help but ask the rickshaw driver, "Go to Wufu Road to ask for an ocean?" ”
"Hmmm! An ocean! The car at this time, no matter how close it is, it will be an ocean! The rickshaw driver who was called over first answered Xiaoju's surprise question calmly.
"Xiaoju, let's walk! Three rickshaws cost three oceans! Xiao Ju Niang quietly pulled Xiao Ju's clothes, and said in a low voice, as for Zhuang Zhuang, although he didn't speak, but looking at the entanglement on that little face, he knew that he didn't agree to take a rickshaw, you must know that three oceans can buy a lot of meat clips.
"Mother, even if we are willing to go, Aunt Hu's feet can't walk, right?" Xiao Ju's eyes looked at Hu Baobao, who was wearing Xiao Ju Niang's clothes and shoes to make a golden rooster independent shape. Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju's eyes, and was also dumbfounded, although her heart was hurting for the three silver dollars, but she didn't say that she wanted to walk to Xiao Ju's goal.
