Zuo Jiang put down the phone and remembered that he didn't ask Tao Fei just now that Bai Xiaoyi wanted to buy a few tickets, looking forward to his father Zuo Zheng's phone and thinking that his call would better come later, wait a while Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi arrived and asked her how many tickets she wanted to buy, and her father could find someone to buy them for her, after all, Bai Xiaoyi helped the Songjiang Railway Branch to get a news broadcast, Zuo Zheng owed a lot of favors, no matter how difficult it was, this ticket must be obtained.

Ask people inside the railway to buy tickets, of course, to buy sleeper tickets, every Spring Festival around the sleeper tickets are particularly nervous, the train departure station ticket amount is better, if it is a relatively large station in the middle of the sleeper ticket amount of a train is so few, don't think about buying at the window, generally through the internal relationship of the railway to buy, and the general railway staff can not buy, the tickets are in the hands of the ticket management personnel and the main leaders, others can not touch at all.

Zuojiang in the previous life when he was the stationmaster of Tongjiang Station, because there were very few long-distance passenger trains from Tongjiang Station, most of them passed by here, so the ticket amount of Tongjiang Station was very small, the least one train to Shanghai only gave Tongjiang Station 6 sleeper tickets and 30 hard seat numbers, Shanghai is a popular station for travel, it is simply in short supply, sometimes there are more than 10 acquaintances who buy tickets from Zuojiang a day, and those tickets are not enough at all, besides, those few can not all be his stationmaster, as well as the secretary of the party committee, deputy secretary, What about the members of the team such as the chairman of the trade union and the deputy stationmaster, who does not have three relatives and two relatives, and the passenger transport director who finally manages the ticket is just a setter, and it is difficult for him in charge of ticketing to leave a ticket.

At this time, Zuo Jiang heard the horn of the car downstairs, and knew that it was Tao Fei telling him to go downstairs, Zuo Jiang came to the window and wanted to ask them to come up first, but the glass of the window was full of frost flowers and saw the situation outside, Zuo Jiang had to put on his shoes and ran downstairs quickly, beckoned to Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi in the car and ran upstairs again, as soon as he opened the door, he heard the phone ringing non-stop.

Zuo Jiang ran over and hurriedly picked up the phone, the phone was from Zuo Zheng, as soon as he arrived at the attendant's apartment on duty, he told his son to call and say that there was an urgent matter at home to find him, and asked him to call back, Zuo Zheng thought something was going on at home, and quickly dialed the phone at home.

As soon as Zuo Zheng heard that it was Zuo Jiang who answered the phone, he asked, "Xiao Jiang, what happened to the family?"

Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, nothing happened at home, I was looking for you in an emergency." ”

"What's the matter?" Zuo Zheng was very surprised, Zuo Jiang had never called him, and this time he said that there was an emergency.

Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, that's the case. Do you remember Bai Xiaoyi of the provincial TV station who contacted us for the news network last time, she had a few classmates who worked in Shanghai and wanted to go home for the New Year, but they couldn't buy tickets home in Shanghai, so they found me, Dad, you can help you contact Shanghai to buy a few tickets! ”

Zuo Zheng thought that this matter must be done well, buying a few tickets is the difference between heaven and earth compared to the news broadcast on CCTV, the last time Bai Xiaoyi helped finish the work, people didn't ask for any reward, Zuo Zheng felt very indebted to her, not to mention that this Bai Xiaoyi is still the host of the show that Zuo Zheng admires, otherwise he will ignore it, and let the director of the railway give a ticket, it is a big joke.

Zuo Zheng said: "Xiao Jiang, Miss Bai wants a ticket from Shanghai to Songjiang, how many tickets do you want?" ”

Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi saw Zuo Jiang beckoning and knew that they were going up, so they got out of the car and locked the car and went upstairs. Zuo Jiang saw that Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi happened to come in, so he covered the microphone and asked Bai Xiaoyi: "Sister Xiaoyi, how many tickets do your classmates want to buy?" ”

Bai Xiaoyi saw that Zuo Jiang was holding the phone and knew that he was contacting her about the ticket, so he hurriedly said, "Little brother, I want a total of 5 tickets." Seeing that Zuo Jiang was about to let go of the phone and speak, he hurriedly chased after him: "It's a sleeper ticket!" ”

Zuo Jiang nodded to understand, let go of his hand and said to Zuo Zheng: "Dad, I went from Shanghai to Songjiang, and Sister Xiaoyi has to buy a total of 5 tickets!" ”

Zuo Zheng said: "Okay, I understand, I'll contact Shanghai as soon as I get to work tomorrow, Xiao Jiang, you wait for the phone at home tomorrow morning, and I'll tell you how to buy a ticket." After hearing Zuo Jiang's promise, Zuo Zheng put down the phone.

Seeing that Zuo Jiang was calling his father Zuo Zheng, Bai Xiaoyi couldn't help but stick out his tongue, but when he heard Zuo Jiang only say that he bought 5 votes and didn't mention the matter of asking for sleeper tickets, Bai Xiaoyi was a little anxious, as soon as Zuo Jiang put down the phone, she said: "Little brother, I want sleeper tickets, why didn't you tell your father?" ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, have you ever seen anyone begging the director of the railway to buy a hard-seat ticket?" Then he stood up and said: "Sister Xiaoyi, you can rest assured, those who are looking for railway people to buy tickets are to buy sleeper tickets, just buy a hard seat window and queue up, who owes that favor!" ”

Bai Xiaoyi smiled a little embarrassed and said, "Little brother, can your father buy tickets in Shanghai?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Sister Xiaoyi, since my father has promised me that there is no problem, how to say that he is also the head of a game, foreign tickets may not be able to buy, but domestic tickets are still difficult for him, how to give a word to the Shanghai Railway Bureau to give some face!" ”

Bai Xiaoyi hummed and said, "Little brother, where will I ask my classmates in Shanghai to buy at that time?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Sister Xiaoyi, don't worry, my dad will tell me tomorrow after contacting me, and then let your classmates go to the person my dad asked me to find." ”

Tao Fei finally interjected at this time: "Little brother, I will be relieved when the matter of the ticket is implemented, otherwise your little sister Yi can torture me crazy, this day will grind me to the ground, this time I am finally liberated!" ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Sister, Sister Xiaoyi, don't all stand and talk, please sit down, I'll make tea for you!" ”

Tao Fei said: "Little brother, let's not sit down, don't be busy, let's go, our two beauties will pick you up together to save face, don't be reserved, hurry up." ”

Zuo Jiang turned off the lights and locked the door with Tao Fei and they went downstairs together, got in the car and went to the East Lake Hotel together, the street was very empty at night, there were few pedestrians and vehicles, Tao Fei drove the car fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the East Lake Hotel.

After entering Tao Fei's room, Tao Fei turned on the TV, and the three of them chatted while watching the TV, because today was Bai Xiaoyi's matter of buying tickets, and the topic of conversation turned to buying tickets for the Spring Festival. Bai Xiaoyi said: "I really haven't bought a ticket before, and when I go out, it's arranged by others, but today I realized that it was so difficult to buy a train ticket!" ”

Tao Fei said: "Yes, our hotel on behalf of customers for train tickets, but this matter belongs to the deputy manager Xiao Luo, I have never bothered, today I want to buy a ticket in Shanghai to him a story, he said that now to buy a train from Songjiang Station is difficult, want to buy a ticket from Shanghai is impossible, and explained to me, I heard that this is the case, I did not expect to buy a train ticket is so difficult!" ”

Zuo Jiang said with a smile: "Yes, two sisters, you are in the blessing and do not know the blessing, there are people to do everything for you, how do you know how difficult it is for ordinary people to buy a ticket, let me tell you this, there are many people who have waited in the waiting room for more than 10 days and have not bought a ticket." ”

Tao Fei asked a little incredulously when she heard this: "Is it, little brother, there is such a thing?" ”

Bai Xiaoyi also asked suspiciously: "Yes, it's incredible, little brother, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Look, what am I lying to you doing, of course this is true, my classmate is a conductor, last year's Spring Festival took Xuzhou's temporary passenger car, a temporary passenger car hung 16 carriages, in addition to a luggage car and a dining car, there are 6 sleeper cars and 8 hard-seat cars, full of people can sit 1364 people, but Xuzhou Railway Station put up more than 1800 passengers at a time, the station staff saw that some passengers can still sit on the car, and put up more than 400 people, At this time, the aisles and passages in the hard-seat carriages were crowded with people, but the station saw that there was still potential to be tapped, so more than 400 people were put up, and even the doors were reluctantly closed with the help of the station staff. My classmate's mother asked the station staff curiously, asking them why there were so many people, but the staff said that there are now more than 2,000 passengers in this direction in the waiting room, and they can let passengers go one more way for each train, and some of them have been waiting for many days at their station. ”

Zuo Jiang said that he looked at Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi, and saw that they were very fascinated by what they heard, so he continued: "My classmate is really curious, after driving, he was also crowded by passengers in the car door, and the distance from her cabin was only four or five meters away, so she asked the passengers around her how many days they had been waiting in the waiting room, and the passenger said that 12 of them went to Xuzhou on the 28th of the month to transfer, and thought they could go home for the New Year, but they waited until today to get on the car, and the year was already over." My classmate and her mother thought that today was the sixth day of junior high school, and these passengers had been waiting for the bus in the waiting room for 8 days! ”

After hearing this, Tao Fei said: "I can't think of it, I can't imagine it, if I was asked to wait for the bus in the waiting room for 8 days, I would have gone crazy!" By the way, little brother, your classmate's mother couldn't get into the cabin and stood at the door of the car all the time? ”

Zuo Jiang said: "It's not how, due to the serious overcrowding of the train, passengers along the way can not get off, more than 2 hours to a parking station, standing at the door of the two railway commuter workers got off the car to be considered a little gap, with the help of a few passengers she squeezed back to the cabin, she came back from this trip, her feet were swollen!" ”
