Chapter 017: The Ticket Hall of Shangdu
The formalities for the trip have been completed, and Zheng Lan has also given news. Someone was willing to buy a jade pendant, bid 3,000 yuan, and asked Xia Xiaoqin if she would sell it.
This price made Xia Xiaoqin very pleasantly surprised, and her gratitude to Zheng Lan was beyond words.
"Aunt Lan, I will sell the jade pendant, and please keep the buyer's contact information for me."
"Okay, then I'll inform the buyer. This money is not a small amount, do you keep it yourself and take it home, or will I help you put it first? ”
"Please Aunt Lan help me keep it, and when I want to go to the capital, I will save it again!"
"It's best this way, it's safer for you to go to the capital with the wire transfer slip."
Now there are not many 10,000 households, and it is a very dangerous thing to go out with 3,000 yuan!
Of course, it is even more dangerous to bring the 3,000 yuan back to the Xia family!
Xia Xiaoqin solved the matter of money and went to the hospital as soon as possible, she wanted to make sure that her feet were completely healed and she couldn't have an accident on the way to the capital!
Xia Xiaoqin paid great attention to her legs and feet during this period of recuperation, but fortunately recovered well and survived the dangerous period and hidden danger period.
The two big stones that pressed on her heart were all removed, and Xia Xiaoqin finally breathed a sigh of relief!
She immediately took the letter of introduction and ran to the bus station to buy a ticket to Shangdu tomorrow, she needed to go to Shangdu to buy the train ticket before she could take Xia Xiuxue out!
Otherwise, what should I do if I can't buy a train ticket when I get to the business?
Let her sleep at the train station with Xia Xiuxue, who has inconvenient legs and feet!
Of course, the matter of going to Shangdu to buy tickets has to be hidden from the rest of the Xia family, including Mrs. Xia.
Shen Shu covered for Xia Xiaoqin, Xia Xiaoling was Xia Xiaoqin's helper, and the next morning, Xia Xiaoqin went to the county seat to deliver tofu "as usual", but Xia Xiaoling pulled her to the station!
"Don't pay attention to other people's conversations with you, don't eat what others give, and drink other people's water!" Xia Xiaoling was like a worried old mother, and told Xia Xiaoqin in a low voice.
Xia Xiaoqin shook the backpack on her body: "Sister Xiaoling, don't worry, I have everything to eat and drink, and I will be dumb when others talk to me!" ”
"Be careful!"
Xia Xiaoling is still 10,000 worried, in her eyes, although Xia Xiaoqin is very smart and can do business, but she is young, her third sister and Xia Xiaoqin are the same age, and even Anxian has only been to it twice, business? It's far, far, hundreds of miles!
Xia Xiaoqin is not nervous about going far away, she is nervous that she can't buy a sleeper!
Zheng Lan told her that most of the current train sleepers are only sold to public officials, and if you don't have the "connections" that you can use, it will be difficult to buy a sleeper if you have money.
Xia Xiaoqin doesn't know anyone in the business capital, and it is even more difficult to buy a sleeper! Now she can only hope for the certificate issued by the public security bureau and the village party secretary, and hope that the comrades at the railway station will see the wounded and sell her two sleepers.
The minibus wandered for six hours and finally stopped at the station in Shangdu.
Xia Xiaoqin was a native of Shangdu in her last life, but she was born later, and in the eyes of Xia Xiaoqin, there are familiar places and many unfamiliar buildings.
Xia Xiaoqin followed her memory to the train station, the queue in the station to buy tickets was long and chaotic, and from time to time there were people cutting in line, Xia Xiaoqin fell at the back of the line, and waited in line for an hour before more than a dozen people walked to the front.
At this time, it was already past noon, and the people in line began to take out the prepared things to eat, Xia Xiaoqin took out Shen Shu's scallion pancakes, matched them with the cold water in the water cup, and ate them in small bites.
Xia Xiaoqin eats very gently, she tears off a small lock every time, her way of eating is very eye-catching in the noisy ticket hall, others are gobbling up, why are you so leisurely?
Xia Xiaoqin was extremely wronged, she was already queuing, could she be able to line up fast if she ate fast?
She's optimistic!
Xia Xiaoqin was almost full of half of the scallion pancakes, and she was just about to put the scallion pancakes back in her bag, when a small dirty hand slapped on her bag!
The bag not only contained food, but also a letter and telegram with a cloth cover, these were extremely important things, and the nervous Xia Xiaoqin subconsciously opened the dirty hand!
Xia Xiaoqin started quickly, because she was worried about proving the letter, and she used a lot of force, and the loud "slap" attracted the attention of several people in the noisy ticket hall.
The dirty little girl was beaten very painfully, she wrapped her left hand around the beaten right hand, although her clear eyes were full of tears, her eyes were glued to the scallion pancake in Xia Xiaoqin's hand.
Just hungry?
Xia Xiaoqin suddenly blamed herself, was she using too much force just now?
"Little sister!" Another black and dirty little boy ran over, pulled the little girl behind his back, and glared at Xia Xiaoqin with a pair of bloodshot eyes, "You can't beat my sister!" ”
"I ......" Xia Xiaoqin wanted to explain, but the person next to her first said gossip:
"Your sister wants to steal from someone!"
"That's it! I also saw that her dirty handprints are still on people's bags! ”
"I don't think it's stealing, maybe I'm hungry. You see she's still swallowing. ”
The boy only stared at Xia Xiaoqin, he stubbornly tilted his head and said, "My sister won't steal!" ”
The eyes of the two brothers and sisters are very clear and thorough, not like those thieves with fluttering eyes, although the clothes and bodies are dirty, but the fabric and style of the clothes are good, not like the clothes worn by real street children and little beggars.
Could it be someone else's old clothes that you picked up?
Xia Xiaoqin vetoed this idea in her heart again, their clothes fit very well, and at a glance, she knew that they were specially tailored and sewn by the tailor!
"I believe she didn't mean to steal, I misunderstood her, and I apologize." Xia Xiaoqin took out the remaining two scallion pancakes from her bag, handed them to the little boy and said, "Give them to you to eat." ”
"I don't want it!" The little boy's tone was tough, but his stomach betrayed him.
The little girl took the little boy's hand and said timidly, "Brother, I'm hungry." ”
Xia Xiaoqin took out Shen Shu's handkerchief from her bag, wrapped it in cakes and stuffed it to the little girl. Xia Xiaoqin didn't forget to tell her: "Wash your hands before eating, otherwise you will get sick." ”
"Thank you, sister." The little girl's eyelashes were still stained with tears, she was very polite, even if she was very hungry, she didn't forget to thank Xia Xiaoqin after getting the scallion pancake, and she didn't gobble it up for the first time.
Looking closely at their cheeks, the two of them were still fat on their faces, and their little hands were also chubby, with a thick layer of flesh, not like little beggars who were constantly hungry.
Xia Xiaoqin's doubts in her heart were even stronger, but she still had to queue up to buy tickets, so she couldn't talk to the brothers and sisters more, and she was not a real businessman, so what could she help?
"Take good care of my sister." Xia Xiaoqin said to the little boy.
The little boy lowered his head and held back two words: "Thank you." ”
Xia Xiaoqin smiled and asked them to wash their hands quickly.
After the brother and sister left, some people were still laughing at Xia Xiaoqin's indiscriminate kindness, firmly believing that the little girl just wanted to steal.
Xia Xiaoqin was noncommittal and smiled.
Maybe she got a good reward for her kindness, Xia Xiaoqin took out a letter of introduction and a letter of certification, and after explaining the situation, the comrade who sold the ticket arranged two sleepers for her, but the date was five days later, and there were really no sleeper tickets for these days, even if there were, it was for important people, and it was not Xia Xiaoqin's turn.
Xia Xiaoqin was already very content to be able to buy a sleeper, and five days was just for Xia Xiaoqin to do another thing.
She wants to take Xia Xiuxue to the capital, the supply of Chiba tofu cannot be interrupted, she wants to teach Chiba Tofu to Shen Shu, and Shen Shu will make Chiba Tofu, and Xia Xiaoling is responsible for delivering goods to the county.
This is Xia Xiaoqin's plan, as long as she doesn't teach the jade tofu and golden tofu to Shen Shu, it is not to leak the secret recipe of the Xia family, Xia Xiaoqin thinks that there is no pressure to implement it.
When leaving the train station, Xia Xiaoqin deliberately looked for the brother and sister in the station, and after asking the staff, she learned that the brother and sister were actually abducted to Shangdu by human traffickers.
Xia Xiaoqin was completely relieved, and it also confirmed her original idea, they were not wandering beggars.
