The morning light is faint, it takes an hour and a half to drive from the county seat to the provincial capital, and when you arrive at the provincial railway station, it is close to eight o'clock.

Putting down his luggage in the waiting room of the train station, Yan Rushan turned around and said, "Comrade Zhong, you guard your luggage, I'll go get the train ticket." ”

"Don't you have to go together?"

"No, they're all acquaintances." Yan Rushan's face was indifferent, and his eyes were calm; Zhong Yuxiu bowed slightly, "Then you go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for you here." ”

Seeing Yan Rushan leave, Zhong Yuxiu sat down in the waiting room, and the luggage was at his feet; The sight swept over the simple waiting room, the white and blue walls, several wide wooden benches in the room, and a few wooden tables in the corners, compared to later generations, it was really simple.

The furnishings were clear at a glance, Zhong Yuxiu lost interest and retracted her gaze; opened the suitcase, which contained several sets of clothes, as if she hadn't taken away the bedding or something, and found an opportunity to load half of the food into the storage ring, and the rest was left to Sun Ruhong and them.

Her little ration is really not much, and there are about fifty catties left; Half of the storage ring is loaded, and there are about twenty-five catties left.

I didn't go out all winter, and I knew that I was admitted to college, so I didn't save on food; Anyway, I can't take it with me when I leave, so it's better to eat it open.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I saw Yan Rushan coming from outside, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "Brother Yan, is it going well?" ”

"Got it, it's the train at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, let's go to dinner first." Yan Rushan took out a train ticket from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhong Yuxiu took it and glanced at it, but she didn't expect it to be a sleeper ticket; Yan Rushan has a wide range of contacts, and even sleeper tickets can be bought, so he casually stuffs the train ticket into his pocket.

"Then let's go, we haven't eaten breakfast, we've been hungry for a long time; We're gone, what to do with these luggage? ”

"Deposit." Yan Rushan walked out of the waiting room with the luggage of the two people, and there was a storage point next to the ticket counter, and he could put it in for three cents.

Zhong Yuxiu glanced at it, did not follow, and walked to the necessary way out of the train station and waited; When he came, he went out of the train station with him, and the human household had not been opened in these years, so he could only go to the state-run restaurant for dinner.

She was not familiar with the provincial capital, and followed Yan Rushan to an alley, the alley was deep, if it wasn't for today's light, it would be even darker.

"What is this place?"

"Take you to dinner." Yan Rushan didn't go back, and continued to walk forward.

"Privately run?" Zhong Yuxiu's eyes moved, "Is it delicious?" ”

Yan Rushan's footsteps paused slightly, and when he looked back, he saw that the little girl's eyes were burning, and her heart softened, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

No more questions, follow him to the end of the alley; A small window was open, and the smell of food could be faintly heard; Zhong Yuxiu rubbed her stomach, she was fine when she didn't smell it, but she was even hungrier when she smelled it.

Yan Rushan caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of his eye, a smile crossed his eyes, and he raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Knock knock."

"Who?"

"Auntie, my father and mother asked me to send you some mountain goods." Yan Rushan copes with ease.

"What did you bring?" The person inside did not open the door, but continued to ask.

Yan Rushan said: "Mountain mushrooms." ”

"Oh, it's a mountain mushroom! That's great, I've been thinking about it lately. The courtyard door creaked open, and a short middle-aged woman stood at the door, "Big nephew and big niece, come in, we are having lunch, stay and eat together." ”

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

During the conversation, the middle-aged woman closed the courtyard door and led the two to the hall; When they arrived at the hall, the atmosphere relaxed, and the middle-aged woman smiled and asked skillfully: "Xiao Yan, I haven't been here for a long time, why did you remember to come over for dinner today?" ”

"Passing by the provincial capital, bring people over for dinner." Yan Rushan glanced at Zhong Yuxiu sideways, "This surnamed Zhong brought her over for dinner today; Give us two bowls of meat, one vegetarian and two bowls of rice, all of which are big bowls. ”

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, "Okay, there is stewed pig's trotters today, I will serve you a share; You go and sit in the hall, and I'll serve you food. ”

As soon as the person left, Yan Rushan casually pointed to the stool on the left hand side, "Sit." ”

"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu sat down obediently.

Yan Rushan glanced at her more, her well-behaved appearance was quite cute, and sat down opposite her.

In a few minutes, the middle-aged woman came in with a wooden tray with food, the tray was placed on the table, the dishes were brought down in the same way, and the rice was placed in front of them.

"You eat slowly, don't call me anymore."

Yan Rushan nodded, picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Zhong Yuxiu, and asked her again: "Are there any eggs in the county?" ”

"Yes, there are braised eggs and pancakes; Why, do you want one? ”

"Yes, twenty boiled eggs and five pancakes."

The middle-aged woman smiled all over her face, nodded her head again and again, and went out to pack for them.

There are three dishes on the table, pig's trotters in a half-large ceramic basin, a pot of stewed chicken with taro, and a plate of fried vegetables; The color and flavor were complete, and the two of them stopped talking, and after eating the food on the table wholeheartedly, when they put down the chopsticks, they had a round belly.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten this good."

The food in the Educated Youth Institute is edible, but compared to this meal, it is really far from it.

"It's almost time, it's time for us to go." Yan Rushan pressed the money ticket under the bowl, got up and walked out, Zhong Yuxiu followed with a full face.

Stepping out of the hall, the mistress of the courtyard held a gray cloth bag and hurried over.

Yan Rushan stretched out his hand and twisted it, "The money ticket is on the table, thank you for this meal." After speaking, he stepped out of the courtyard gate with his long legs.

Zhong Yuxiu smiled and followed him; The two rushed back to the train station, and when they saw that the time was 10:40, they could get on the train.

"You carry the things, I'll go get the luggage." Yan Rushan stuffed the bag to her, walked quickly to the storage point, and took the luggage, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

The front of the train platform is crowded with people.

Yan Rushan found the carriage recorded on the ticket and escorted Zhong Yuxiu to the front of the carriage; Because it is a sleeper car, there are few people, and many people on the side are hard-seat cars in the side car.

"Take out the ticket and check it for the staff." Yan Rushan changed the luggage in both hands to the other, and took out his train ticket from his pocket.

Zhong Yuxiu took out the train ticket, took Yan Rushan's and handed it to the ticket inspector.

After confirming that everything was correct, the ticket inspector put the two people inside, "Find a seat after entering, don't walk around." ”

"Okay."

The two climbed into the carriage smoothly, found the bed, and stuffed the luggage under the bed.

Zhong Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed, "There are so many people!" ”

"During this time, there are many educated youths who return to the city, and there are also many people who visit relatives." sat down next to her, his expression did not move, "It's all good now, there are really many talents during the New Year; In order to get on the train in advance, people push people away. ”

"Won't there be a stampede?" only knows that there are many people during the Spring Festival, and she has only seen the Spring Festival in the future; Although there are many people, it is not easy to grab tickets, whether it is on the plane or the train, it is completely orderly.
