Chapter 050: Rush to the provincial capital
Liu Xinyu sat on a bench in the waiting room of the county train station, holding a book in her hand, and looked at it quietly.
Zhang Hongyun carefully took two tea eggs from her bag and put them on the small table, "Sister Xinyu, if you're hungry, eat a tea egg." ”
"I'm in a hurry, so I can only eat an egg to fill my stomach. There is a dining car on the train, and we will buy food when we get on the train. Zhang Daniu came to the two of them with half a teapot of boiling water that he got out of nowhere, and put the teapot on the empty seat next to Liu Xinyu.
The courtesy of the Zhang family's father and daughter did not make Liu Xinyu feel happy, sighed and closed the book, took the egg from Zhang Hongyun's hand, thought about it and looked at Zhang Daniu and asked, "Uncle Zhang, did you bring all the letters sent back by Brother Zhang?" ”
"Brought, from the time he entered the city to the present, six years and two months, one per month, and Hong Liang's letters to friends and teachers, a total of one hundred and seven, all in this bag." Zhang Daniu pointed to the big dirty gray bag at Liu Xinyu's feet.
Liu Xinyu glanced at the bag at her feet and nodded silently.
The radio began to broadcast the news that the train was about to enter the station, Liu Xinyu quickly wiped out the eggs in his hands, picked up his own bag, and lined up with Zhang Daniu and Zhang Hongyun to check in and enter the station.
The destination of the three of them by train was, of course, a machinery factory located in the southern suburbs of the provincial capital.
Last night, under the coordination of Zhang Zhishu and others, the relationship between the Zhang and Liu families did not break down in the end.
Under the auspices of Zhang Zhishu, the two families sat down and had some discussion, and decided that Zhang Daniu would take Liu Xinyu into the city, in order to clear the trumped-up charges that fell on Zhang Hongliang's head.
Since Zhang Hongliang wants to clear his name, of course, he can't be empty-handed, let alone fight an unprepared battle.
Zhang Zhishu personally wrote for Zhang Hongliang to testify, not only stamped with the official seal of the brigade department, after Zhang Zhishu's name, but also the captain, production team leader and the villagers' signatures and fingerprints, densely packed with two pieces of paper.
He also brought all the letters written by Zhang Hongliang that he could find, including those written by Zhang Hongliang to his family, as well as those written by Zhang Hongliang to friends, classmates, and teachers.
The letters written home are easy to find, and each letter is stored in a box by Zhang Daniu!
It took a lot of effort to collect letters to friends, classmates, and teachers, especially teachers, who were on summer vacation and couldn't find teachers.
Now you have to open a letter of introduction when you go out, so by the time the three of them arrive at the county train station, it will be sunk.
Yesterday was so embarrassing, if it weren't for Zhang Zhishu to mediate, Zhang Daniu would have pleaded in every way, not to mention that Liu Xinyu is Chen Zhaodi is unwilling to have anything to do with the Zhang family, let alone rush to the provincial capital with Zhang Daniu.
Of course, Wu Qiaozhen is resolutely opposed, and in her heart, Liu Xinyu is still the one who restrained Zhang Hongliang.
In the end, Liu Xinyu's heart is not ruthless and hard enough, of course, she also has her own considerations.
The first is to want to see the big cities in this era in the provincial capital, and the second is to see if there are any better business opportunities and business opportunities that can be grasped in this era, and third, of course, the "stars" imposed on her by Wu Qiaozhen cannot become a reality.
As for the marriage contract, I will talk about it after Zhang Hongliang's matter has subsided.
Zhang Hongyun accompanied him just to be Liu Xinyu's companion.
Wuxian is a small county, and the trains that stop are not only passing cars, but also all slow trains, and you can't buy seats.
In this era, not only the number of trains is less, but the speed is also slow, the speed is about 80 kilometers per hour, and it is generally 50 to 60 kilometers.
It is only more than 200 kilometers from the county seat to the provincial capital, but it takes six hours to walk.
More than 200 kilometers, if it is a high-speed rail, it will only take more than an hour.
It's a pity that there is no high-speed rail in this era, only "Bangdang" and "Bangdang" green trains that stop at big stations and small stations.
I really miss the clean and fast high-speed rail!
There were no seats, so the three of them had to find a relatively spacious place to stay.
Of course Liu Xinyu didn't want to stand like this for six hours, of course he had to find a way.
Fortunately, the box they were in was a female conductor, and not long after the car started, Liu Xinyu caught up with her.
Soon the three of them had a place where they could take turns sitting and resting.
It has been a whole day since Zhang Hongliang was taken away by Director Wang, Zhang Daniu is anxious, where can he sit down, but it is cheaper for Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongyun.
The railway station of the provincial capital is in the south of the city, the southern suburb of Zhang Hongliang's factory, and it is convenient to transfer to the bus after getting off the train, but the time for the train to arrive in the provincial capital is not suitable.
When I got out of the train station, it was about two o'clock in the morning.
I looked up at the sky, it was dark and dreary, and I didn't know if it was going to rain.
Zhang Hongyun was pulled off the train by Liu Xinyu in a daze, and was led out of the train station by Liu Xinyu in a daze.
A hot and humid summer breeze blew, which made her sober up a little, and she looked around curiously, there was a big gap between it and the provincial city she imagined.
The lights in the railway station square are quite bright, but it is too quiet, and there is no excitement at all in the provincial capital.
The quiet and unfamiliar environment made her a little frightened, and she involuntarily snuggled up to Liu Xinyu, looked at Zhang Daniu, who was also black in front of her, and asked timidly: "Dad, where are we going next?" ”
"I asked the conductor just now, and she said that the railway station is in the south of the city, and Brother Zhang's factory is in the southern suburbs. She said that there was a direct bus from the train station to the factory, but the bus was only available during the day. It's still too early, so why don't you go to the waiting room and see if you can find a seat to rest first. Zhang Daniu's appearance, Liu Xinyu didn't have to guess to know, he should also be confused, so he proposed.
In this era, there were not many people traveling, and they had formal letters of introduction, although they had already gotten off the train, and after some kind words, they were not stopped outside, and the three of them leaned on the back of their chairs and took a nap.
Just after five o'clock, Zhang Daniu woke Zhang Hongyun awake, and heard the voices of the Zhang family's father and daughter in a daze, Liu Xinyu wanted to squint for a while, and after thinking about it, forget it.
opened his eyes, stood up, stretched his waist, moved his hands and feet again, and took Zhang Hongyun to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and wash her face.
The three of them went out of the waiting room, asked an uncle on duty for directions, and soon found the bus stop.
It's a pity that the bus is not so early, Liu Xinyu pointed to the stop sign, "We came too early, the first bus to the machinery factory departed at half past seven, and there was almost an hour." Why don't we go over there for a bite to eat? I'm in for a treat! ”
After getting on the train yesterday, I was going to go to the dining car to eat something, but I asked the conductor to know that the things in the dining car were not only expensive but also tasted bad, so I didn't go, and I was already hungry at this time!
Although the Zhang family has repeatedly stated that this trip to the provincial capital will cover all the expenses of the Zhang family, Liu Xinyu still brought all her money out.
Chen Zhaodi also gave all the money from the sale of wool to Liu Xinyu, a full forty-five yuan!
That's right, Chen Zhaodi ignored Liu Xinyu's opposition and sold the wool to others at a price of 15 yuan per catty.
Liu Xinyu didn't want to take the money, but Chen Zhaodi has a good saying, the poor are rich, and they are prepared when they go out.
Zhang Daniu was worried about Zhang Hongliang, if he was the only one who came, maybe he got off the train and walked directly to the machinery factory on two legs, but there were two little girls who came with him, who were sleepy and hungry at the moment, and he could only wait patiently for the arrival of the bus.
I want to eat breakfast, and of course I won't let Liu Xinyu treat you.
A bowl of soy milk, a fritter and a big meat bun, Liu Xinyu feels that she is finally alive again!
