1. Meet at the station
Leping County has been connected to trains in recent years. The scale of the station built is not large, like the waiting room, which is only a little bigger.
There are quite a few people in the waiting room. The more people there are, the worse the air, and the smell is even worse when there are unconscious smokers.
Some people smoke, and some people complain: I really don't realize it, what kind of cigarettes are you smoking here?
You must know that such a casual smoker, he is not afraid of what others say, he does not know how to be conscious. If you say yours, he'll pretend he didn't hear it, and that's fine. There was an old man about 60 feet away, with a hunched back and a constant cough, as if he had tracheitis. There were a couple of young men next to him, who were spitting clouds there. It's still talking as if no one else is around. The old man said politely, "Please don't smoke here!" ”
One of the young men said to the old man, "Hey! Old man, if you're afraid of smoking, go farther! ”
The old man looked around: it was full of people, and there were some standing. Then he looked at his travels, and saw that there were so many things that he could not move far, as if he could not go far, so he said to the young man, "Alas, young man, there is nowhere to go, so please make it easier for you!" ”
Suddenly, a young man stood out from among those people and said to the old man, "Hey, hey, hey! I said old man! You are really in control, so rest! The young man took a puff of his cigarette, then sprayed it at the old man fiercely and said, "This is not your house, can you manage it!" ”
"Why are you bullying the old man like this, this is a public place, please pay attention to your words and deeds!" It was Sun Yan's mother-in-law Sun Erniang who spoke, and next to her sat an eighteen-year-old girl Zhao Jinju. It turned out that Sun Erniang was here to see off her daughter.
"Yo, yo, yo! Where did the old woman come from, why is she so interested! "The young man shouted.
"What old woman, please keep your mouth clean. She's my mother! Don't bully people too much! Zhao Jinju stood up from her seat. I'm really angry, why do you call my mother an old woman? It's too unusual!
"Ahh She's your mother! I thought it was my mother-in-law! The young man glanced at the girl and said, "Yo! My little sister looks good! It seems that today I am really going to recognize a mother-in-law! After saying that, he smiled at his companion Lang again.
"You, so unbelievable, why did you play hooligan in a public place?" It was a tall young man who spoke taller, taller than the young men who smoked.
The young man who smoked looked at his companion, then at the tall man and spoke: "Hey! It's your business! Do you want to recognize your mother-in-law? Without waiting for the tall man to reply, he said, "What a dog is nosy with a mouse!" ”
"Hey! You're not right, young man! Smoking is not allowed in public places, this is the rule of the station, you see! "It was the station staff who spoke, a lesbian. He was followed by police officers in police uniforms - security officers who maintained order at the station. Following the hands of the staff, everyone saw a striking billboard: smoking is not allowed in the waiting room.
The security officer said, "Please pay attention, the waiting room is crowded and is a public place, please do not smoke in it!" If you want to smoke, go outside and smoke, don't mess around here! ”
The security officer spoke with weight, and a few young men who smoked quickly extinguished the unfinished cigarettes and said nothing.
The tall man also sat down, but he glanced at Zhao Jinju. A flicker flashed in my mind, as if I was familiar, where had I seen it? The events of two years ago suddenly appeared in front of me: "Big brother! Let's go, it doesn't matter! "Kind words rang in my ears." Ah, it's her! The tall man picked up a handbag, quickly stood up again, walked to Sun Erniang and the others who were a few places away, and said embarrassedly: "Excuse me: Are you the proprietress of Zhao Ji Tea Pavilion?" ”
Sun Erniang asked him rhetorically: "Who are you?" ”
Zhang Ping'an didn't answer her, looked at Zhao Jinju and said, "Ah, you are the little girl in Zhao Ji Teahouse!" ”
"You are?" Zhao Jinju seemed to ask as if she couldn't remember it.
"I'm the guy who pulled coal during the summer vacation two years ago - the guy (I was going to say it's the big brother's), and I still owe you two cups of tea!" said that the guy may not remember, and said that the eldest brother may help remember, but it was a little embarrassing to say it in front of Sun Erniang. Besides, Jin Ju is not a little girl, but now she is a beautiful big girl. Of course, I didn't dare to say brother and sister in front of Sun Erniang.
If it was Sun Erniang, she must not remember clearly, I don't know how many people have drunk her tea, and I don't know how many people haven't paid! She remembered a lot there. The joke says: "When you go, the tea will be cold!" "Sun Erniang didn't have the leisure to remember people, not to mention what happened two years ago! But Zhao Jinju is different: the first year is young and has a strong memory; Second, she hasn't sold tea a few times, but she has been the boss a few times on behalf of her mother, and the number of times is not much, so she remembers it much more prominently.
Yes! She remembered: he was the young man who pulled coals with a teacup and drank it in one gulp. But the guy was sweating profusely, and there was a lot of soot, and it was black. It's a bit of a match with the handsome guy in front of him, but he still seems to have an impression of his head and face.
"You're the big brother who pulls coal? Alas, thank you! Thank you so much just now! Zhao Jinju said just now.
"Who is he?" Sun Erniang asked her daughter softly.
"Me?" When the tall man heard it, he was afraid that the girl would not be able to speak clearly, so he hurriedly said: "My name is Zhang Ping'an, from Zhangjiaqiao Town." The year before last, I bought coal and passed by your tea pavilion, and I drank two cups of tea very domineeringly without asking the price, and I didn't even give a penny, which is really rude! As he spoke, he nodded to Sun Erniang, as if he was paying for it, and it seemed to be saying hello.
Sun Erniang looked the guy up and down carefully, how could he be domineering? Besides, what she said to the group of smokers just now, she still has a sense of justice, Sun Erniang has read countless people, and with her experience, she thinks that this young man is decent and will never be frivolous.
"Ah, you're from Zhangjiaqiao." Sun Erniang asked the guy about it, and said softly to Zhao Jinju: "The young man is good!" ”
Zhao Jinju's face turned red as soon as he was shabu. "Mother, what do you say?"
This time, their voices were very small, and Zhang Ping'an didn't hear them clearly. But he guessed a few points from the change in the girl's face. Probably causing a misunderstanding, he changed the subject and asked:
"Auntie, where are you going?" Local people do not call aunt or aunt, but aunt.
"Call me Erniang, I'll call Erniang." Sun Erniang said happily: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to see off my daughter." She patted Zhao Jinju and said, "She went to Shanghai to study." ”
"Pit stop!" I don't know who screamed. Most of the people in the waiting room stood up. Immediately, the queue was crowded. Sun Erniang's mother and daughter also stood up and squeezed into the line. Zhang Ping'an was originally standing, and he was squeezed into the team at every turn.
"Where are you going, young man?" Sun Erniang saw that she was about to enter the station, so she asked anxiously.
"Erniang, I'm going to Shanghai!" Zhang Ping'an simply answered the question and said, "Erniang, you call me Xiao Zhang, or directly call Zhang Ping'an." ”
"Good, good! Xiao Zhang, I'm worried that I don't know anyone! My daughter is going away for the first time, can you please help take care of her along the way? ”
When it's coming, I don't know much about other people, so I ask others to take care of it, is it reliable? It's good to just say that on the road, the road is on the car, there are many people in the car, and nothing can happen. I didn't hand over my daughter to others, just took care of myself. After the words were finished, Sun Erniang was stuck at the ticket gate. This station is a small station, and you are not allowed to enter the station without a platform ticket to send passengers on the train. And this station doesn't sell platform tickets at all, so what if you have to send passengers on the bus? You can only get on the train if you explain to the station staff and get the consent of the station.
Sun Erniang hasn't come to her senses yet, and the person is already out of sight.
"Goodbye! Jin Ju, my daughter! Sun Erniang walked home as if she had lost her soul, but she walked slower than when she came. There are still seventeen or eighteen miles to go home from the county seat, and thinking that there are still a lot of things at home, Sun Erniang had to speed up the pace and rush back.
