Chapter 111: Train [Three Watches, Asking for Recommendations]
Tang Ying really didn't know how his grandfather and grandmother died.
Since his mother said it, Tang Ying also plans to ask and help his mother untie the knot.
Tang Ying didn't ask, just waited for his mother to talk about it.
Shen Hong was silent for a while, then continued, and said, "I was only eight years old when your grandfather and your grandmother died. Your grandfather is the conductor, and your grandmother is the conductor. This is the line that the two of them run.
The day your grandfather and your grandmother died, there were only two days left before the Chinese New Year. Originally, after the two of them finished this trip, they could rest at home until after the Chinese New Year. Our family of three is also rare to be able to spend the New Year together during the New Year.
That day, I waited at home and waited until the next morning, and your grandfather and your grandmother did not come home.
By the time I got the news, I saw the bodies of the two of them. ”
Taking the tissue handed over by Tang Ying, Shen Hong wiped a handful of tears before continuing.
"I came crying all the time that year, if it weren't for your seventh uncle who finally stood up and helped me with your grandfather and your grandmother's funeral, and took me to their house. I might have died with them that winter. ”
Tang Ying really doesn't know this period of history.
When Shen Hong's mood calmed down a little, Tang Ying asked, "Did grandma and grandpa die in a car accident?" ”
Shen Hong shook his head, "No, it's carbon monoxide poisoning." There were hundreds of people in the car for carbon monoxide poisoning, and only a few dozen were saved, and the rest were not saved. ”
Tang Ying listened to Shen Hong's words, and his brows furrowed, "Carbon monoxide poisoning? On the train? ”
Tang Yuanshan explained to Tang Ying, saying: "The train at that time was the oldest steam locomotive, and it was to burn coal, and the quality of the coal at that time was substandard and the combustion was insufficient, resulting in excessive carbon monoxide levels. Although a lot of people were dealt with later, your grandfather and they still couldn't come back after all. ”
Tang Ying listened to Tang Yuanshan's words and did not continue to pick up.
Because Tang Ying felt that this matter was a bit of a big problem.
In the past, the train was coal-burning, and Tang Ying knew it.
But what the sealing of the train was like in the past, Tang Ying also knew.
At that time, it was difficult to close the windows tightly, and the place where the carriage was connected was no different from hollowing. Where coal is burned, it's still at the locomotive.
Even if the quality of the coal is not up to par, carbon monoxide leaks out along the heating pipes.
It is also quite rare to want to be poisoned by carbon monoxide in the kind of carriage where you need to wear cotton clothes, rub your hands to keep warm, and leak air on all sides when you take the train.
There must be something else going on here.
However, his grandfather and grandmother have been dead for so many years, and his mother has accepted this fact, so Tang Ying doesn't want to mention this matter anymore.
Raising this question at this time can only increase my mother's sadness.
Some things are really good for not knowing the truth.
"Mom, the trains are all electric locomotives now, and these air conditioners are directly exchanged with the air outside. There will never be another tragedy like that. When we go back today, we will first go to worship grandpa and grandma. Tang Ying comforted his mother and said.
Over the years, Shen Hong has also accepted this fact.
Looking at his tired mother, Tang Ying also said to Shen Hong: "Mom, you can rest for a while, it will take more than an hour to arrive." ”
Shen Hong nodded, leaned his head back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Tang Ying took out his mobile phone and searched for the carbon monoxide poisoning that his mother said.
There are really descriptions of the accident on the Internet.
However, there are only some text descriptions, and the statement is the same as Shen Hong's statement.
The poor quality of the coal led to excessive carbon monoxide concentrations and hundreds of people in the car were poisoned by carbon monoxide.
There is nothing to say other than that.
The more simple the description, the bigger the problem is.
If there really isn't a problem, then there must be a very detailed description.
This kind of sentence that sums up the lives of hundreds of people is a big problem in itself.
The webpage is closed, and Tang Ying doesn't plan to dwell on this matter.
Sitting opposite his parents, Tang Ying also closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while.
Tang Ying had just rested for more than ten minutes when he felt that the train had stopped.
As soon as the train stopped, Shen Hong also woke up instantly.
"Why did the train stop?" Shen Hong asked a little flustered.
Obviously, the psychological shadow left on her by the events of that year is still very huge.
Tang Ying hurriedly comforted and said, "Mom, it may be to transfer the car when you stop here." ”
Not long after Tang Ying finished speaking, another train rumbled quickly past Tang Ying and the car they were sitting in.
Seeing that it was really a car, Shen Hong's hanging heart also let go.
"Mom, you can continue to rest for a while. When it's time for the place, I'll call you. Tang Ying said to Shen Hong.
Shen Hong nodded, and continued to close his eyes to rest, and Tang Ying also put the coat he wore when he came out this morning on his mother's body.
After Shen Hong fell asleep, the train still didn't start.
Tang Ying also looked out the window boredly.
It's autumn now, and the rice in the fields has become golden.
"By the way, Dad, isn't it time to harvest our rice, don't you have to go back and see our family's few acres of thin fields?"
Tang Yuanshan said: "It's okay, they are all villagers, and they are all acquaintances, just let them get it, and nothing can happen." This year's harvest is still good. Rice can almost harvest more than one million kilograms, corn can almost harvest more than two million kilograms, soybean harvest this year is average, should be the same as in previous years.
On the grain merchant's side, I've talked about it. This year, aside from miscellaneous costs, our land can almost have a net profit of about two million. It is enough to alleviate the tight cash flow situation after our family buys a house. ”
"Dad, you can use this money to open a decoration company. I can solve the house loan thing. Among the stocks I bought, there are a few that have been doing well this year, and I have already sold them, and I have enough loans or anything. For the rest, I'm going to build a few more houses in the magic capital. ”
As soon as Tang Ying finished speaking, he heard someone behind him talking very loudly on the phone.
"Hey, why haven't the 200 million Hetian Nuanyu I ordered have been shipped yet. Don't you know that my family has a fire kang? ”
Tang Ying and Tang Yuanshan both heard the words behind them.
This is obviously expressing great dissatisfaction with the conversation between his father and son.
For this kind of person, Tang Ying didn't pay attention to him, and he couldn't do it.
"You've crushed my foot, are you blind? Do you know how much my shoes cost? I'm sitting in a first-class seat, and you push such a broken car, do you think it's a green train? A burst of scolding also made Tang Ying a little unhappy.
"Is the cart that sells goods on the bullet train so old? I remember that the earliest green train carts in the past were of this style. Tang Yuanshan glanced at it and felt a little strange.
