Chapter 9 North

Beijing, here we come!

Nan Nan and Jiajia's yearning for Beijing and their dreams for their future careers made them unable to wait for a moment. Just after the Spring Festival, they couldn't wait to pack their bags and prepare for action. Jiajia was still hesitant to keep the house first, go to Beijing first, and if she could stand still, she would come back to clean up the chores. The man resolutely denied it, he left no way back for himself this time, he was going to break the boat. In the end, Jiajia gave in, they returned the house, and disposed of the small household appliances, pots and pans, bedding, etc. they bought. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, they stepped on the train to the north.

"Dear passengers and friends, the terminal station of this train is about to arrive at Beijing Railway Station. Beijing is the capital of China with a long history and rich cultural heritage...... "The carriages were noisy as the music of the train radio sounded.

The man pushed Jiajia, who was still asleep, "Wake up, it's coming soon." ”

Jiajia rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the faint street scene outside the window, and said to herself, "Oh...... Finally saw the capital Beijing. ”

The man and Jiajia dragged three dead and heavy boxes out of the Beijing West Railway Station with the flow of people. A glimmer of sunshine had just shone on the reddish sky, and several neon lights flashed at the Beijing West Railway Station, reflecting the excited faces of the men. Two people stood on the pedestrian bridge of the West Railway Station, watching the pedestrians coming and going, looking at the road in front of the railway station, and there was no end in sight, and the street lamps supported two lingering light bands, extending to the depths of Beijing. Jiajia pushed the man's arm and asked, "Man, do you think it's Tiananmen over there?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "No, the train station is far away from Tiananmen Square." "Jiajia has never been to Beijing, when the boy went to a key high school, the school organized a trip to Beijing, so among the two people, the man pretended to be a regular customer. In fact, the tour was arranged by the travel agency, and the man was still young at the time, just following the team, and he didn't have a brain at all, so he couldn't remember what the road was.

Beijing in winter was very cold, and the excitement of the two young people was quickly frozen on the flyover. Jiajia asked the man tremblingly, "Where are we going now?" ”

Men are stupid too. They are patronizing and longing at home, and too many practical problems are not considered. Where to stay in Beijing? The man rubbed his hands, thought for a while and said, "Let's find a small hotel to live in first, and then hurry up to find a job, Beijing is so big, we have to find a job first, and after finding a job, find a place to live near the unit, it's better." ”

Jiajia nodded. So, the two of them dragged three large boxes down the overpass and looked for a place to stay near the West Railway Station.

As soon as they got off the overpass, a chubby woman walked up with a sign and asked, "Big brother does the hotel live, it's clean and hygienic." ”

The man stopped and looked at the sign in the fat woman's hand - Jingxi Hotel. How did the man remember in a trance that he heard that this hotel seemed to be from the army, and it was a good place, so he asked: "How much is it a day?" ”

"Twenty-five yuan for one person, fifty yuan a day for the two of you."

"Is it by the head? Bunk? ”

The fat woman looked at the couple in front of her, hesitated, and said, "You can also live in a bed, there is a single room, eighty yuan a day, there is a TV." ”

Jiajia didn't think much about it and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The fat woman hurriedly pulled over a box and said, "Yes, I can't stop but go and see it first." ”

The man thought it was okay to take a look, so he followed.

The three of them walked for five minutes, and when they came to a broken van parked behind the West Railway Station, the fat woman threw the luggage in her hand and turned around to greet the man and the man: "Come, get in the car, and drive you to the hotel." ”

The man didn't get into the car, and asked vigilantly, "Why do you still want to take the car?" Is it far away? ”

The fat woman said: "It's not far away, it's such a cold day, dragging so much luggage, how hard it is, the car we found for you, come up, how warm." ”

The man looked at Jiajia, Jiajia didn't feel anything, got into the van first, the man stretched out his head to look inside, and saw that there were already two people from other places sitting inside, so he didn't say anything, put his luggage in the car, and sat on it himself.

The fat woman closed the car door and turned her head away, and the man quickly stretched out his head and asked, "Hey, why don't you leave?" ”

The fat woman didn't reply: "Wait a while, I'll find a few more people to go with, just wait a few minutes!" She muttered quietly as she walked, "Whatever you do, you don't have enough money for gas......

The man and Jiajia waited in the car for more than ten minutes, and saw the fat woman coming over with four outsiders from a distance. The fat woman beckoned them to get into the car, and then sat down in the passenger seat of the van with satisfaction, and greeted the driver: "Drive!" ”

The van hit the road with a clattering noise. After twisting and turning, he came to a community built in the seventies and eighties, and the crunch stopped, "It's here, let's go, I'll take you to the room to see, it's clean." ”

The man and several other people followed the fat woman with their luggage and walked into a residential building, and the entrance to the basement of the residential building made a sign with a plastic board - Jingxi Hotel.

"Is this it? Basement? The man asked, surprised.

The fat woman looked disdainful and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"No, how do I remember that it was a regular hotel, how did I change the basement?"

The fat woman sneered and said, "Big brother, are you talking about the one on CCTV?" If you can afford to live, go there, I won't stop you. With that, he led the others straight to the basement.

The man stood still, Jiajia came over, pulled him and said, "Let's go, it's all here, let's go and see." The man reluctantly followed Jiajia into the basement.

This basement is very large, and the air is filled with a strong musty smell, and it is all over the room. The fat woman first led everyone to a room, opened the door, and the man and man saw that there were four wire beds in it, and there was a table with a kettle on the table. The fat woman said, "This is a twenty-five yuan bed. I don't want to share a single room, which is here. After saying that, he walked to another room and opened the door, and the men and men leaned over to see that the room was the same size, except for two beds, an extra cupboard, and a TV set on the table that was about to be scrapped in addition to a kettle.

"It's eighty yuan, it's more suitable for you two to live here." Fat women say to men men, they say.

"It's a terrible environment, and it smells musty." There was an eldest sister next to the house who came to see the house and said with a frown.

At this time, the fat woman lost the gentleness at the West Railway Station, and said impatiently: "If you want to save money and live well, where are there so many cheap things?" Seeing that several people were hesitating, they gave an ultimatum, "Can't live? If you live, go with me, and if you don't stay, go out quickly, and stay where it's cool. After speaking, he walked to the front desk.

The few people who came were not particular, so they didn't say anything and followed, leaving an eldest sister and a man. Jiajia glanced at the man and asked, "Did you say you live?" ”

The man didn't say a word, he walked out with the box, and Jiajia hurriedly followed.

The man and Jiajia still have hard bones at this time, because they have been working for more than half a year, Jiajia and the two of them have saved three dry pieces of frugality, and they are not panicked when they have food in their hands. In fact, if it was a man alone, he might have lived, but with Jiajia here, he didn't want Jiajia to be wronged, so he resolutely didn't live in the basement.

The two of them left the neighborhood and started looking for a hotel along the road. After walking for almost twenty minutes, I saw a hotel. Walk in and ask, one hundred and twenty yuan a day, go upstairs and take a look, it is a regular standard room, two beds, heating, water heater, TV, the house is not bad. They were too tired, so they paid for the room for two days and decided to stay.

After eating at the door, I went back to the hotel to take a hot bath, and the fatigue gradually disappeared, plus I lived in a good hotel, and the two young people couldn't help but get excited. They turned on the TV and saw a lot of channels that they couldn't see in the northern city, and they felt very comfortable lying on the soft bed. The man was holding the remote control to tune out the TV, and Jiajia secretly got into his arms from behind and wrapped around his waist. The man tuned the TV with one hand, and skillfully reached into Jiajia's clothes with the other hand, and accurately caught the pair of little white rabbits. After kneading for a while, Jiajia began to hum coquettishly, and the man pretended not to hear it, and rubbed it more cheerfully. Jiajia finally couldn't bear it anymore, pushed the man down on the bed and said, "You are so annoying." ”

After the passion, the two of them hugged each other and slept together, although the house was heated, but it was still not possible to cover the quilt. Jiajia curled up on the man and said, "I'm cold, where is the quilt in the hotel?" ”

The man got up and searched the house, found two quilts from the cabinet, took them out and covered them, and did not forget to say enviously: "The hotel is exquisite, the quilts are put in the cabinet, not on the bed." ”
