Chapter 24: Pick-up

The two college students were stunned and looked at each other at the same time.

Xin said that according to common sense, Qi Ming shouldn't follow their words and ask them which school near the University of Engineering?

Why didn't he ask?

Of course, Qi Ming won't ask, the University of Engineering is on Yixian Road, and there are four universities near Yixian Road, namely Tongji, Aurora, Shanghai Finance and Economics and Shanghai Foreign Languages.

...

At more than seven o'clock in the evening, the car drove out of Henan Province and entered Suzhou Province, and it was estimated that it would arrive in Xuzhou in the first half of the night. Around this time, the smell of feet and instant noodles in the carriage became stronger.

The attendant came twice with a trolley, selling beer, peanuts, snacks, tea, eggs, and so on. The middle-aged man asked for a boxed lunch, more than 20 yuan, sat by the window, and ate it tastelessly.

The two college students were more miserable, after all, they were students, and they didn't have much money in their pockets. One person with a bucket of instant noodles hesitated for a long time to buy tea eggs, and sat on the lower bunk and sweated profusely.

The girl felt that her sleeper was occupied, and although the two college students were very cautious, the occasional drop of soup splashed on the sheets caused her to roll her eyes and be unhappy.

Qi Ming didn't have the heart to eat here, the smell in the carriage was too complicated, the top note was sweat, the middle note was foot odor, and the back note was the seasoning smell of instant noodles after hot water soaking, so he simply took the cigarette to the middle of the carriage and swallowed the clouds.

After smoking a cigarette and being hungry, Qi Ming went to the dining car.

The ticket was bought by Daddy Qi Daxun, the cheapest hard sleeper. Qi Ming didn't object, although he could ask Yang Yifu to buy a ticket for China Eastern Airlines, but after thinking about it, don't burn the bag too much, after all, my parents don't know that Qi Ming has a small deposit of 100,000 now.

I can't sit on the plane, but I can't stop Qi Ming from spending money to eat in the dining car.

After all, my mother said that you can't lose anything when you go out.

When I arrived at the dining car, I asked for a bottle of cold beer to moisten my throat.

This train is from the Chang'an Railway Bureau, and the food on the dining car is naturally northwestern. Although I know that the food truck is definitely not cheap, and it is not delicious. But Qi Ming still ordered two meat dishes and one rice. Add up to more than 80 yuan, and in an ordinary small restaurant in Zhongzhou, these 80 yuan can be eaten for one table.

The dish is braised chicken nuggets and cumin beef, since it's a dining car, don't expect it to be delicious, it's good to be full. For these two dishes, Qi Ming carefully selected them for a long time before he barely found these two to eat.

After being full of wine and food and smoking another cigarette, Qi Ming returned to his carriage.

In the era when there are no smartphones, it is indeed easy to get irritated if you don't have some fun after a dozen hours of driving. For example, the middle-aged brother in the lower bunk, obviously patronizing everything from simplicity on a business trip, did not have a book in his hand, just read an evening newspaper over and over again, and saw that he even read the middle lines of the newspaper, and estimated that he could memorize the newspaper at the destination.

The game of cards for the two college students continued, and this time it was as they wished, and the girl in white also joined in the game and went into battle in person, while her father gave advice in the back.

When the lights were about to be turned off, Qi Ming went to smoke in the middle of the runway carriage, and happened to meet the middle-aged man who was also smoking.

"The young man studied art?" Don't look at this man's very unkempt, but his mind is very detailed, and it is estimated that he is often running around.

Qi Ming smiled, swallowed clouds and spit fog: "Yes, I studied painting for two years in high school, and I barely took a second major. ”

The man hurriedly shook his head: "Be modest, those who can go to college are the pride of the sky." I just don't read much and have no education. In the past few years, I have obviously felt that some of them can't keep up with the thinking of young people. You back waves, sooner or later, you'll shoot us on the beach. ”

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, the girl's father walked sideways through the crowd and into the middle of the carriage with a cigarette in his hand.

Seeing Qi Ming and them, he took advantage of smoking to join the conversation.

"Young man, go to the university to report alone, the family can rest assured?" The girl's father glanced at Qi Ming, squinted at Qi Ming's smoking posture and said.

"I'm sure I'm not at ease, but I didn't let them follow, after all, they're all eighteen. Besides, we boys are all solid, different from girls, and all girls are pearls in the palm of their hands. I'm afraid I'll drop it in my hand, and I'm afraid I'll melt when I hold it in my mouth. Qi Ming said with a smile.

Obviously, compared to when he was on the sleeper in the carriage, Qi Ming's words became more. In fact, to put it bluntly, I was too lazy to keep up with the two self-righteous second goods on the upper bunk.

"My daughter was admitted to Tongji Medical College this year." Words came out of the mouth of this middle-aged father, and it was called a pride and pride.

"Amazing, man." The other raunchy middle-aged man said with a thumbs up.

Qi Ming didn't say anything, and when he mentioned Tongji, he thought of Yang Mo inexplicably.

Reborn hasn't seen her yet.

"If you want to say that it's really enviable, my son can't, he only went to junior high school this year, and he either fights with people every day, or steals money from the family to go to the game hall." The sloppy man shook his head.

The middle-aged father didn't say anything, and he didn't talk much about other people's children's education, so he looked at Qi Ming: "Young man, are you engineering big and Tongji very close?" ”

Qi Ming snorted: "It's not far, two kilometers." ”

"That's not that far." The middle-aged father nodded and said thoughtfully.

After smoking a cigarette, the conversation ended, and the content of the conversation was mostly gossip.

Qi Ming went back and got the freshened toothbowl toothbrush, took the water outside the water room, washed up casually, and planned to listen to the song and fall asleep.

As a result, as soon as they came back from brushing their teeth, the father and daughter quarreled.

The reason is that the girl in white wanted to report to school by herself, so she asked her father to send her off the train and buy a ticket to go back to Yu Province directly, and she had to report by herself.

As a result, the father was not at ease and insisted on sending it, so they quarreled.

The girl's personality is a little paranoid, she has been spoiled at home for a long time, and she lacks the kind of public illness that is beaten by society, and his father is a good intellectual at first glance, and the father and daughter quarreled until the end or the father compromised, promising her to only send it to the station and buy the ticket back.

Not bothering to pay attention to the dispute between the father and daughter, Qi Ming lay on the bunk with his eyes closed. Feeling the sound of iron wheels colliding with the rails outside the window, and the occasional long beep when the train is running in parallel, the carriage gradually quiets down in the middle of the night after the lights are turned off, and occasionally a few children cry, and they are quickly coaxed to sleep by their mothers.

Qi Ming plugged in his headphones and deposited them in the Bob Dylan CD given to him by Yang Mo, listened to the bard-like whispering, closed his eyes, and felt the train enter the Yangtze River Delta, into the water town of Zeguo, and he gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Qi Ming got up before dawn, he didn't have the habit of going to bed early, and he slept poorly because of the bumps along the way.

I simply didn't sleep, smoked a cigarette, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and when it was dawn, Qi Ming went to the dining car for breakfast.

Let's not talk about tea eggs, the standard mutton buns are far from the poor old nose in Liu Xuqiang's house. With a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of small pickle gnocchi, this breakfast is okay.

After eating and drinking, he returned to his carriage with a toothpick, and everyone else woke up.

The girl in white obviously didn't sleep too well, her eyes were slightly swollen, and her ponytail was not supple, and her hair was rough and messy.

After waking up, the princess of canvas shoes was a demon again, and she didn't know that the thread was wrong after sleeping all night, and she guessed that she heard that the two burnt buns on the upper bun were wealthy, and they were very close to Tongji, so she told her father that she had to follow them back to school together.

couldn't stand the girl's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally the middle-aged father compromised.

The two high-achieving students who are rich are naturally very happy, after all, the girl is really good-looking.

"Uncle, don't worry. The two of us are separated by Aurora and Tongji. We must send the younger sister to Tongji safely first, and then we will go back to Shangcai. The tall young man said with a little smuggling.

"It's hard work, can you leave a phone number for your dormitory if it's convenient?" The middle-aged father asked cautiously.

The young man with a slightly shorter face and pimple marks said, "Why don't you leave our counselor's phone number with you, and you can call to confirm it later." ”

As he spoke, he tore up a piece of paper and wrote a string of phone numbers and three names. One was the counselor's, the other was their names, and by the way, they took out their student ID cards for the girl's father to see.

With the phone number and name, the girl's father was much more relieved. Qi Ming observed that he had a Motorola 328C in the palm of his hand early in the morning, and he estimated that he would definitely have to make this phone call secretly to confirm it for a while.

After breakfast, the sloppy man got off the bus in Xuzhou. The atmosphere inside the sleeper is more interesting.

The girl's father and Qi Ming seemed a little redundant, and the girl in white was obviously more willing to chat with the two wealthy students, so she left her father aside, and the three of Qi Ming's family didn't look at it at all.

Qi Ming was also happy, no one talked nonsense with him, he continued to read books and listen to music, and when he was bored, he moved his limbs on the ground, or went to smoke in the middle of the carriage.

The lunch was still solved in the dining car, and by almost three o'clock in the afternoon, the green car finally drove into the Shanghai listing area. Qi Ming, who is a human being, doesn't feel anything, after all, it's the city he has been staying in since graduation.

The white-clothed ponytail girl was more excited, the first time I came to see everything was fresh and interesting, when I passed Central, I could clearly feel that the surrounding buildings gradually became taller, that is a dense high-rise building that cannot be seen in Zhongzhou, of course, and the neon bright in Central in the later generations is not comparable.

The train stops at Shanghai Railway Station on the north side of the Suzhou Creek, which was called the New Passenger Station 20 years ago.

When Qi Ming dragged his luggage and got out of the car, the little white-shoeed ponytail girl took the initiative to ask: "The engineering university should not be far from our Tongji, how can you go?" ”

"Let's take a taxi, it's really inconvenient to drag your luggage."

Not surprisingly, Line 3 was only opened at the end of 2000, and there was no subway at all to go to the engineering university at this time, and it was impossible to drag large bags of luggage to let Qi Ming take the bus.

"Rich man." Shangcai's two strange things have begun to be yin and yang.

Qi Ming didn't pay attention to it, and was about to leave the station to line up. Suddenly, in the crowd, he saw a face that was wearing sunglasses, but it couldn't hide the overall delicate face at all.

The tall figure looks incomparably outstanding in the crowd, with long hair falling over his shoulders like a waterfall, and although his face is only depicted with a little light makeup, his delicate and beautiful face has already attracted countless eyes from the exit of the station.

knew that Qi Ming was on this train, and it must be Yang Mo who came to pick it up in person. She is tall, about 1.72 meters, and she also steps on high heels like knives.

With such a tall and beautiful girl in the crowd, it was impossible not to be noticed. To say that it is also, such a tall person, I don't know what she grew up eating.

After seeing Qi Ming, her slender fingers pulled the frame down, her eyes lowered, and a pair of eyes immediately locked on Qi Ming through the crowd.

"I haven't grown in more than a year! How can you go to the street with me in the future? This is Yang Mo's opening remarks, although the voice is not loud, it is true that it does not save Qi Ming any face.

Just waiting for Qi Ming to get closer, Yang Mo pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose up, and didn't take the initiative to help Qi Ming share the luggage, so he walked forward with his bag and took care of himself.

"I'll send you back to your school first. Put your luggage and settle down, come to Tongji to find me at night, there are a few restaurants on Chifeng Road that are not bad, you should be used to eating your tricky taste. Yang Mo's tone was non-negotiable.

"Hello, are you a senior sister of Tongji?" After listening to Yang Mo's words, the ponytail girl couldn't help but ask curiously.

The two wealthy students also glanced at each other, obviously their eyes and thoughts were attracted by Yang Mo, who was more beautiful.

Not to mention her mature temperament, let's just say that the chiffon long skirt, not to mention the generosity, but also shows the mature and proud figure to the fullest.

As for the ponytail girl who sat with them for more than ten hours, although her gestures were a bit simple and cute, she was worthless in the face of sexiness.

What's more, there is also public illness.

Shangcai, the taller man with a slightly higher appearance, took the initiative to say at this time: "The two of us are Shangcai, and we are next to Tongji. Why don't you go together? It just so happens that this is your schoolgirl, you can get to know each other on the way. ”

This is good, before getting off the car, it was still a small public move, and after getting off the car, he became a tool man.

Yang Mo slowed down, glanced back and asked Qi Ming, "Is this your classmate or your friend?" ”

Qi Ming shook his head, "Neither." ”

Yang Mo took off her glasses, blinked her big watery eyes, looked at the few behind her, and responded in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, I'm not available." You can take the bus or subway by yourself. ”

After speaking, he pulled Qi Ming and walked out, and whispered as he walked: "Don't be blind to strangers when you go out, you know whether you are a good person or a bad person." Look at your fine skin and tender flesh, and sell you to the ravines and ravines to be your son-in-law, your little body will definitely be tossed and scattered by then. ”
