Chapter 129
After staying in the provincial capital for a few days, Zhang Cuilian's image in An Rong's heart became even taller.
Although An Rong's family conditions are better, he has actually never been out of the house a few times. Although Zhang Cuilian is younger now, she still has the experience and memories of her previous life.
Although I don't often go to the provincial capital, it's still quite easy to think about where to go with the memories of my previous life. The important thing is that it is 1990 now, and neither the construction, commerce, nor the flow of people can compare with 20 years later.
Zhang Cuilian bought an afternoon ticket, and the train from Q City to the provincial capital was a slow and broken green car. After getting into the car, the three of them sat in a row, and Gu Zhiqiu sat at the window and looked out excitedly.
If it weren't for the clear memory that she took an air-conditioned car starting with the T at 7:30 a.m. before she died, Zhang Cuilian even felt that life before rebirth was a dream.
The train rattled and started slowly, and the conductor enthusiastically walked to the carriage to check the tickets. It didn't take much effort for the salesperson to walk in with a foam box. As he walked, he hummed in a quirky and mellow tone: "Sorbet, popsicle!" Sorbets, popsicles! Sorbet, popsicles, ice milk~"
Zhang Cuilian heard this weird humming and laughed out loud. In particular, the elongated "la" at the end is really funny.
Not only Zhang Cuilian found it funny, but the salesman passed through this carriage. Many children in the carriage scrambled to learn to sing, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
An Rong pushed Zhang Cuilian and whispered in her ear: "Cuilian, you can't do this in the future." That's how people sell things, but you can't laugh at them. It's rude for people to see it, and think that you haven't seen the world! ”
Zhang Cuilian's face changed slightly, wanting to explain but not knowing how to say it. I could only nod and seriously comply, and then no matter how funny the salesperson hummed, I definitely stopped laughing.
An Rong thought that Zhang Cuilian had never been out of the market and had never seen the world. began to worry in his heart, and he led the two little girls to the provincial capital recklessly. If you don't know the place well after getting off the bus, do you want to go to a small hotel for two days?
secretly complained in her heart that Zhang Cuilian had a bad idea, and she was forced to be led by the nose.
An Rong was worried in his heart, and Zhang Cuilian was not feeling well. She guessed that the train was slow at this time, but she didn't expect it to be so slow. There is no comparison with the future generations, not to mention stopping when you encounter a small station, even the speed is really infuriating.
Gu Zhiqiu went from being excited at the beginning to feeling bored later, so he took out the food he had bought in advance and began to have nothing to say while eating.
Halfway through the journey, there were more and more people in the carriage, and many people got on the train and lost their seats. Some of the young lads climbed straight onto the back of the chair and lay down, regardless of whether the people below liked it or not. There are also older ones, who will kindly ask if they can take a break for a while.
At this time, the folk customs are simple, and as long as someone speaks, they will give up a little space. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Cuilian and their seats were crowded with four people.
At five o'clock, a man dressed like a chef walked in with a tray. As he walked, he shouted: "Noodles~, big bowl of noodles~, hot big bowl of noodles!" ”
A lot of people can't actually afford to eat noodles, so everyone just asks. However, Zhang Cuilian sat opposite a 'big money', wearing a brand-new suit, and the label was deliberately left on the cuffs. He took out his "Big Brother" a total of fifteen times throughout the afternoon, including three phone calls.
It is precisely because of this 'big money' that Zhang Cuilian has surrounded too many people in this circle. Some people talk to the 'big money' and chat, and some people watch the 'big money' fiddle with the 'big brother'.
Since he was a big money, he must show that he was rich, so he asked the chef for a bowl of noodles. It didn't take long for the chef to bring in a bowl of hot noodle soup with a pair of white chopsticks.
The big money is in full view, and even the bar is snoring and snoring. A bowl of noodles was eaten for almost ten minutes, during which there were ignorant children sucking their fingers and running over to look at him, and the greedy doll was crying, he ignored the eating and became more and more energetic.
However, Zhang Cuilian looked at it from the other side, and actually had a different feeling in her heart. If you have the conscience of the industry, it turns out that the noodles on the train in the 90s are so real. A large bowl full of noodles, with an egg full of chopped green onions and coriander. There are still oil flowers floating on the hot soup, and Zhang Cuilian can smell a fragrance when she sits facing each other.
On the other hand, looking at the boxed lunch on the train in later generations, alas, my mother, I really hate people to death.
The three of them got off the train and walked out of the train station with the flow of people. Standing in the square in front of the station, Gu Zhiqiu pulled Zhang Cuilian's arm. A little scared, he asked, "Sister, where are we going?" ”
Zhang Cuilian said with a smile: "Of course I found a small hotel to live in!" ”
At this time, An Rong was really led away by Zhang Cuilian, and followed her all the way to ask many small hotels. watched her crackle bargaining, and finally followed her into a guest house in a daze.
When I entered the house, I found a large bed and a small bed, and there were exactly three people. Putting down the luggage, Zhang Cuilian said to An Rong's mother and daughter: "Auntie, you guys take a rest first." I'll go out and get some hot water and I'll be back in a moment. ”
After a while, Zhang Cuilian walked in with a thermos and took three more glasses. She put it on the desk under the window, turned to the two of them, and said, "The bathroom is at the end of the hallway, and the men and women are separated." There is no hot water after 10 o'clock in the evening, so if you need to wash your face, ask for a washbasin with the front desk. ”
An Rong frowned and asked, "Isn't there running water?" ”
Zhang Cuilian smiled and nodded: "Yes, the tap water is cold." But I also dislike their basin in my heart, and I don't know if anyone uses it, it's disgusting to wash my face or feet. ”
Gu Zhiqiu watched the two of them lying on the bed and said coquettishly: "It's dark, I'm hungry." Let's go out and go to the restaurant! ”
An Rong also felt hungry at this time, she was an elder after all. At this point, he stood up and said, "Well, let's go." Let's go get some food first, and then ask the waiter how to get there tomorrow when we come back. ”
But when he went out, An Rong turned around, and there were still a lot of people in the provincial capital at night. The vendors selling goods under the street lamps didn't mean to go home, Gu Zhiqiu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the front and exclaimed, "Mom, Mom." You see, it's a foreigner, it's a foreigner. ”
An Rong looked at it, and sure enough, there were two tall white people walking on the opposite road. She has fair skin and a tall stature, and her hair is still light yellow and gray. smiled and nodded: "Oh, it really looks the same as on TV, and it's the first time I've seen Lao Maozi." ”
Zhang Cuilian was speechless for a while, pulled An Rong and said with a smile: "But be quiet, say that people are old Maozi and are not afraid of people hearing about it." ”
Gu Zhiqiu turned his head curiously, and glared at the boss with a pair of eyes: "Huh? Can they understand what I'm saying? ”
Zhang Cuilian nodded: "Of course, since you are here, you must be able to understand it somewhat." Or buy food and clothing, and there is a whole translation next to it? |
After a simple meal at a nearby noodle restaurant, the three of them walked slowly along the street lamp. Zhang Cuilian walked and found that there was not much change from the appearance in her memory.
From the train station across Huayuan Street to Qiulin, many old houses have been preserved in later generations. The city is full of Russian-style architecture, which seems even more interesting now.
An Rong's mother and daughter also think that the houses here are very beautiful, and there are some Russian-style buildings in Q City, but there are not many of them. The three of them walked slowly and saw some shops with lights still on the windows that were actually closed.
"Mom, you see the dolls here are so beautiful!" Gu Zhiqiu was fascinated by the matryoshka doll in the window, and stood in front of the glass and refused to leave.
