Chapter 763: Get on the train
When I came to Tianjing, I took a plane.
Take the train when you go back to Jiangcheng.
Jiang Xiaobai had planned this way a long time ago, so that her daughter could take the plane and train all over again, and increase her knowledge and experience.
In the early eighties, it was not easy to take a train, and buying a train ticket not only required a letter of introduction, but also had to go to the train station to buy it, and the procedures were complicated.
In this era, ordinary people can only buy hard seats, and buying hard sleeper tickets requires a relationship to find someone to buy.
Although Jiang Xiaobai has a letter of introduction, if he buys it himself, he can only buy a hard seat at most.
Although he took his daughter to experience riding the train, he didn't want her to take a hard seat.
After all, even adults can't stand it if they have to sit in a car for a day and a night, not to mention that Jiang Shan is just a child.
Buying a sleeper ticket is different, you can sit by the window and look at the scenery along the railway, and fall asleep when you are tired, which will definitely leave a pleasant experience for your daughter.
Of course, in this era, even if you buy a sleeper ticket, you can usually only buy a hard sleeper, and a soft sleeper must reach a certain level before it is allowed to buy.
What is disgusting is that foreigners who come to China can buy soft sleepers.
Lin Shu listened, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange someone to buy it for you." ”
Jiang Xiaobai thanked him.
Lin Shu smiled: "Uncle, don't be polite about such a trivial matter." ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Then there is one more thing, one guest does not bother the two masters, you can also help me." ”
Lin Shu said: "What's the matter?" You say. ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I bought a set of old courtyards on the Northwest Street of Huangchenggen, you know this." ”
"Now the house is in hand."
"But I won't live in it for a short time, the house is so empty and easy to break, you help find someone to look after the house, and I will pay the salary."
Lin Shuyile: "Uncle, others still live by themselves when they buy a house, but it's good for you to buy a house not only for yourself, but also for someone to live!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I bought a house for investment, and asking someone to see the house is also a cost that must be paid for investment!" ”
Lin Shu nodded and asked for information about the house.
After Jiang Xiaobai finished the introduction, he said: "The inverted seat house in the courtyard used to be for the next person to live in, and when the time comes, buy a simple set of furniture, hire an old man who loves to clean up and can grow flowers and plants, and usually clean the house, plant flowers, raise fish, and add a little vitality to the courtyard." ”
Lin Shu said: "No problem, I'll buy some furniture tomorrow, and then find someone, and I can pay a salary of twenty yuan a month." ”
Jiang Xiaobai agreed and handed him the key.
Lin Shu put away the key and said, "Okay, uncle, you are here to watch Shanshan boxing, I'll call someone to buy the train ticket first." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
Not long after Lin Shu left, Jiang Shan finished a set of punches, and ran over excitedly: "Baba, how am I fighting?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai touched her head: "It looks decent, but I don't understand, you have to ask your master." ”
Jiang Shan said proudly: "The master has been praising me!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Look at what you can, continue to study hard with your master, and we will go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow." ”
Jiang Shan sighed and obediently continued to practice boxing.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at it for a while, and then went into the house. The old man likes to eat his cooking, and he can cook it again this afternoon.
I went into the kitchen to cook a meal, accompanied the old man to eat, and drank two taels of wine.
"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, have you bought the ticket to go back?"
After eating, the old man asked.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Let Xiaoshu help buy the sleeper ticket, tomorrow morning at 5:45 train." ”
The old man nodded: "Then let Xiaoshu send it to you tomorrow morning, I won't send it!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai understood that the old man was most afraid of parting, and said: "Well, we have to get up at four o'clock, you can rest for a while, and when you arrive in Jiangcheng, I will call you again to report your safety." ”
The old man bowed his head and said, "Don't forget to take those cups I gave Shanshan or something." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Grandpa gave it, I will definitely not forget it." ”
The old man didn't say anything more, and went to tease Jiang Shan.
Next, there was no word for the night.
The next day, Lin Shu sent Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Shan to the train station.
The train of 1983 was still the kind of green train.
Jiang Shan saw the train for the first time, and was extremely excited, and said excitedly: "Baba, this is the train, it's so long!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and walked towards the platform with her.
Lin Shu also came in, and he helped carry the two boxes containing porcelain.
In this era, it is very normal to send passengers into the car, and there is no need to bother at all.
"Uncle, I didn't buy a soft sleeper, I bought a hard sleeper."
Lin Shu said apologetically.
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, it was good enough to buy a hard sleeper ticket.
The current train hard sleeper is the same as that of later generations, it is a card slot with six beds, a row on the left and right is divided into three beds, and there is a small table in the middle of the lower bunk by the window. There is also a kettle in one of the slots, which is filled with hot water.
Lin Shu put the two boxes under the bed, and then said, "Uncle, don't forget the box under the bed when you leave." ”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled: "You are not very old, but you have learned from your mother-in-law." ”
Lin Shu smiled wryly: "Okay, I'll go first, I wish you and Shanshan a smooth journey." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Take care of grandpa!" ”
"Big brother goodbye!"
"Goodbye, uncle!"
"Goodbye Sanshan!"
Lin Shu got off the train.
Not long after, the train started and headed for Jiangcheng from Tianjing West Station.
This is the Dongfanghong No. 3 diesel locomotive, which is now the most advanced train in China, with a running speed of up to 120 kilometers.
"Baba, is it just the two of us?"
After Jiang Xiaobai closed the door, Jiang Shan asked in surprise.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "It's okay for the two of us, be quiet!" ”
In this era, there are actually very few Chinese people who buy sleeper tickets, and many people who can take sleepers at a high level usually do not sit on sleepers.
If you only buy a seat ticket because of the current policy of being able to enjoy the sleeper standard, the difference in the travel expenses can be used as a personal allowance.
In this era when life is not rich, many people can save money when they travel and earn the difference to subsidize their families.
Perhaps, it is also related to the fact that people in this era are accustomed to suffering and have not yet begun to covet enjoyment.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't explain this, and said, "It's not dawn yet, you can sleep for a while." ”
Jiang Shan obediently agreed.
When she woke up early in the morning, she hadn't woken up from her sleep.
Although I was excited to take the train, it was dark outside, and I couldn't see anything, so I slept obediently.
When the train left Tianjing City, it was very fast.
After Jiang Xiaobai waited for the conductor to come and change the ticket, he also lay on another bed with his clothes and fell asleep.
