Chapter Seventy-Three: Private Chapter
From Qinghe County to the provincial capital Mukden, there is only one train at nine o'clock in the morning every day, and it still passes by from the next city.
It took nearly two hours to get to the county seat from home alone, not counting the time to queue up to buy tickets, Ji Wei took the train of this era last time was still stained with God's light, she couldn't tell what the situation was at the train station to buy tickets, and she set off before dawn.
In this hurry, I rushed to the county seat, and there were already many people lined up at the ticket gate of the railway station.
There are those who go to the province like her, and there are also those who go to the city or other intervals, and several of them are second-class dealers that Ji Wei knows, but they have rules in this industry, and they have their own one-acre and three-point land, as long as they are peers, even if they meet their own parents, they don't greet each other, so they all pretend not to know each other.
In the past, when he bought train tickets and train tickets, Ji Wei only knew the first and second class seats, and he had never heard of the speed of the tickets.
All she can buy now is a slow ticket, which takes six or seven hours for 300 kilometers, and every station has to stop during this period, and the fare is three yuan and nine cents and six cents.
If you want to take the express train, you have to start from the city next door to the previous station or the next city, and add an "acceleration fee" on top of the slow ticket, because there is no stop in between, and you can get there in about half the time.
Of course, regardless of express tickets or slow tickets, all Ji Wei can buy is a hard seat ticket.
To say that six or seven hours to sit on a hard seat is really unbearable.
In the past, when she went out to sketch, she always only had to sleep softly, and once she had no tickets, she asked for a hard seat, and after only three hours, the whole person was so sore that she couldn't wait to lie down on the spot, and as far as she saw last time, the environment in the hard seat carriage was really not very good......
She hesitated.
The conductor kept urging with her letter of introduction, "Have you thought about it, don't delay everyone's time, there is a long queue behind!" β
As soon as she urged, the passengers followed, "Hurry up, the train should come later!" β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't understand from the countryside, forgive me." Ji Wei was just about to hand over the money, but a hand reached out from behind her, and even took back the money and the letter of introduction, "Wheat, let's sit on a soft sleep." β
Ji Wei turned around in shock, and saw Zhuang Chengyun standing there wrapped in a white cashmere scarf and smiling at her.
"Why are you here?" She hurriedly pulled him out of the line and swept Xiao Chang everywhere in the crowd.
Zhuang Chengyun shook her face, "I came alone, I temporarily moved back to the county seat with Xiao Chang last night, and I came here before dawn to wait for you." β
"......" don't tell her, it's just to come here and wait for her, so she specially moved back to the county seat, otherwise Xiao Chang is reluctant to return to the county seat recently, for fear that the tiger girl will find her again.
Ji Wei withdrew his letter of introduction from his hand, "I'll go to the provincial capital to do business, you go back quickly, and I'll bring you a gift when I come back." β
If Xiao Chang knew that she had taken Zhuang Chengyun to the provincial capital, she would have to kill her and screw her dog's head!
"No, I left him a note." Zhuang Chengyun nodded the money left in his palm, "Do you want three yuan and nine cents and six cents to go to the provincial capital, I didn't bring any money for wheat, you can get me some more." β
"I can't buy it." Ji Wei also grabbed the point in his hand back, "You don't have a letter of introduction." β
This letter of introduction must be issued by the administrative unit where the individual's household registration is located, such as the production team, the street or the work unit, and he Zhuang Chengyun is not from here, even if he has a way, he will definitely not know what the letter of introduction is, and it is impossible to prepare it in advance.
Zhuang Chengyun unhurriedly took a thumb-sized, flat and narrow jade from the front pocket of his jacket, "You wait for me here." β
Ji Wei watched him walk to the office next to the ticket gate, and watched him come out, so he really got him back two soft sleeper tickets to the provincial capital.
"What the hell are you?" She was very curious, Zhuang Chengyun handed it to her casually, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." β
Ji Wei took a look, it was really jade, not only jade, but also a good Hetian seed material, delicate and warm, like clotted fat, even a layman like her could see that this piece of jade was or will be worth a lot of money!
And at one end of the jade, under the remnants of the red ink, there are three extremely dignified positive and negative characters, which are printed down, which is "Zhuang Chengyun".
She was not surprised to know his identity early on, the question was what she was doing with his private seal......
took out his handkerchief and rubbed it, putting it back in his pocket, "I can't ask for this." β
Zhuang Chengyun stuffed it back into her hand again, "Take it, sooner or later you will be able to use it." β
Because of his words, Ji Wei was cautious and cautious later, for fear that she would have to use this thing to save her life if she committed a crime, and it wasn't until a few months later that she realized that everything was too naΓ―ve......
Before the train entered the station, Ji Wei found two nearby places to settle himself and Zhuang Chengyun.
The waiting room is not large, but the floor is considerably high, the top is empty, the four white walls, the green paint baseline, the waiting seat looks very similar to what she has seen on the train before, only longer and larger.
Many people who came early, bought tickets and started to sit there and eat breakfast, pasting cakes and steamed buns, and there was a smell in the semi-sealed space.
Zhuang Chengyun went out of the house so early, and he didn't have any money tickets on him, Ji Wei estimated that he didn't eat, and took out two eggs from the small cloth bag he carried crossbody and gave them to him, "Here, pad first." β
When she set off, Chen Cuilian really gave her a load of things, cotton clothes, dry food, basins, lunch boxes, so that she didn't look like going out to run business but like going to the west to learn from the scriptures, Ji Wei was troublesome, and before entering the train station, she was all put into the album space, leaving only this small cloth bag.
In addition to a few eggs, there were two large meat buns, a brown sugar pie and a small glass jar with a little malt cream, all of which Chen Cuilian was going to eat for her on the way.
Ji Wei looked around, and finally saw the four big red characters "supply hot water" on the wall in the corner of the waiting room, and on the long table below was an old-fashioned metal bucket with a lid with a faucet, cylindrical, as tall as half a person she was, and a thick quilt was wrapped outside, and she hurriedly took the canned bottle and went over to pick it up.
As soon as the hot water was flushed, the wheat fragrance mixed with the milky fragrance suddenly floated out, attracting many envious eyes.
"Comrade, what are you drinking, it's so fragrant!" An unkempt young woman approached her with a baby in her arms, her eyes staring at the canned bottle in her hand.
Ji Weizhen didn't want to talk to strangers, but when she saw the skinny baby in her arms, she still couldn't bear it, "Malt milk essence." β
Seeing that this is the 80s, there is still a tragedy like this, the patches on the mother and son are almost embellished into robes, and even the poorest family conditions in their poor production team are dressed more decently than this.
The young woman also carried a tattered burden on her back, which made her already thin body even more slender, and she was alone with a baby, and she didn't know where to go.
The young woman licked her chapped and pale mouth, and cautiously pointed to the canned bottle, "Can you give me some share, my body is not good, my family is poor, the baby is two years old, and I haven't even drunk milk." β
She leaned hard to Ji Wei's side and sent the baby's reddened little face to her.
If you know it, you will give it to her, I don't know where it came from, Ji Wei really doesn't have the guts, in case of "what's wrong with drinking", then she won't be able to tell with a long mouth.
She shook her head, "I'm sorry, no. β
"Comrade, you can do it, have pity on my baby......"
"It's really not good, or I'll get you two taels of food stamps, and you can go outside and buy some soy milk for the baby to drink......" Ji Wei said that he would go and dig his pocket.
The young woman said that if she turned her face, she would turn her face, and she slammed it on the shoulder, "No, no!" Really slam the door, drink and drink and beware of choking you! β
"......" looked at her back and walked away, Ji Wei was speechless.
The forest is big, and sure enough, there are all kinds of birds......
Not to mention her, even the passengers around her couldn't see it, and they all hugged her grievances, and all the way was full of people pointing fingers at young women.
I don't know if it's because of being outnumbered, but the young woman who was quite arrogant just now shrunk her head like a quail, and the more everyone scolded, the faster she walked with the baby, and disappeared at the gate of the waiting room after a while.
