There are quite a lot of people in the station, and the ticket to Dashiqiao is only a dime.

Yang Liying waited for Lin Lan to buy a ticket to find the shuttle bus of Dashiqiao, hugged Xiaodouzi and sent it to the car, and said with a smile: "Be careful on the road." ”

Lin Lan nodded, and said to the curious little bean, "The third aunt is going back, say goodbye to the third aunt." ”

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Xiaodouzi said perfunctorily, and then leaned in front of the window to look at the starting bus next to him.

"Little villain!" Yang Liying smiled and touched his head, got out of the car and left.

Lin Lan saw that there were only a dozen passengers on the car, some carrying bamboo baskets, with clips on their backs, and there were not many people on the shuttle bus next to them.

At this time, the driver and the conductor got on the bus, and the female conductor with short shoulder-length hair looked around and shouted vigorously: "Put your luggage on the luggage rack." ”

Everyone sat still, and a man said, "No one is full, and besides, it's raining, what should I do if the roof is wet?" ”

"Yes! This lesbian, if someone gets in the car, we put things on our laps and make sure they don't take up space. ”

The old driver sitting in the driver's seat turned his head and said to the conductor: "It's raining, let them put it in the car!" ”

"You've said that, what else do I have to say!" The conductor muttered and sat down at the ticket booth.

After hearing this, Lin Lan remembered that Lin Guoliang and the others used the chicken cart to push those things over last time, such a heavy sack, and the chicken cart all had to be put on the roof, how laborious it was!

Thinking of their own words, the brothers sent things to Lexing from such a distance, and the more they thought about it, the more heartwarming they felt.

After the car started, it gradually drove out, and Xiaodouzi sat on Lin Lan's lap and looked out of the car window curiously: "Mom, the big trees are running backwards." ”

Lin Lan nodded, thinking about it and worrying about his first time in the car: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Xiaodouzi looked out the window and shook his head: "No, it's fun to take the bus." ”

Lin Lan put her mind at ease after hearing this, hugged him and looked out the window, the bus drove out of the city, the suburbs were misty and rainy, patches of green rice fields, and low houses and verdant bamboo forests, looking like a landscape painting from afar.

She thought that in another ten years, such a good scenery would be replaced by reinforced concrete, and the blue sky would become gray. At that time, everyone's living conditions were much better than they are now, but they were not as easy to meet as they are now.

Xiaodouzi looked out the window for a while, turned her head to Lin Lan and said, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”

"I'm hungry! Mom gives you bean rolls to eat. Lin Lan put him on the empty seat next to him, took out the kidney bean roll from the back of the clip and gave it to him.

Xiaodouzi took it and ate it: "Mom, I like to eat the red bean paste inside." ”

"Little glutton!" Lin Lan looked at her son, who was much more lively, with a smile, "Mom will go back and make red bean rolls for you to eat." ”

The conductor sitting in the front row turned his head to look at the kidney bean roll in Xiao Douzi's hand and asked, "Where did you buy this bean roll?" ”

Xiaodouzi looked at her: "Auntie! Mom did it! ”

The conductor glanced at Lin Lan and said with a smile: "Your mother is very skillful." ”

Lin Lan looked at her and her heart moved, thinking that she used to ask the passenger shuttle bus to help bring important things, so she took one from her back and handed it to her with a smile: "Comrade, you taste it." ”

The conductor hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it: "Thank you!" ”

Lin Lan smiled and didn't say much.

After a while, the conductor turned his head to look at Lin Lan and smiled: "It tastes really good!" She looked at Lin Lan and felt that it was quite rare for a country woman to be able to make such a snack.

Lin Lan said with a smile: "The elders in the family used to sell this, and I also learned some from it." ”

The conductor suddenly realized: "It turned out to be an ancestral craft, no wonder it is so good." ”

The two chatted.

An hour later, the bus arrived at Dashiqiao Township, but the good thing was that the rain stopped, and Lin Lan also got acquainted with the conductor.

knew that the conductor's name was Li Hongmei, and the driver Lao Chen took a shift with this train. The earliest class departs at half past seven, returns to the city at half past ten, leaves Dongshi at half past one in the afternoon, and returns from Dashiqiao Township at half past four.

When Lin Lan left, she picked up a few bean rolls for her and the driver Lao Chen, and Li Hongmei and Lao Chen also said that they would send something to the car in the future, and they would help bring it back.

Lin Lan happily agreed, and after saying goodbye, she walked towards the river with the beans.

Mother and son pass through a bluestone-paved street lined with almost all quaint wooden houses.

The old lady with small feet in a bun sat under the eaves of the stairs with glasses and needlework, and a bamboo sewing basket painted crimson was placed at her feet. Lin Lan looked at it and remembered the town she lived in before, could it be also in this time and space?

Walk down the stone steps to the river, there is a bamboo forest, next to a cooperative bamboo shop, the door is full of all kinds of bamboo.

Mattresses, sunning mats, ......, and steamers stacked high with emerald green bamboo skin, there are three models: large, medium and small.

Lin Lan thought that she would be able to use the steamed beans in the future, and walked towards the shop, just when an old craftsman came out, she stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you want a ticket for this kind of large steamer?" ”

The old master shook his head: "No, how many layers do you want?" ”

Lin Lan thought for a moment: "I want five floors!" ”

The old master pointed to the steamers: "This is all made of Nanzhu, and the five-story ones are expensive, and they cost a total of six yuan and eight." ”

Lin Lan felt that it was not too cost-effective to buy a Nanzhu steamer for a few yuan, so she asked him with a smile: "Is it in stock?" I'll buy it tomorrow if it's in stock. ”

When the old master saw her carrying the child on her back, he felt that she was not talking about playing, so he nodded and said, "Yes, there are no people who have opened a restaurant in these years, and it is not easy to sell the steamer." ”

"Thank you, uncle, I'll come back tomorrow."

"It's fine!" The old master pulled a chair, took out the cigarette stick, lit the leaf cigarette, smashed, smashed, smoked.

Lin Lan remembered to bypass the Nanzhu Forest and walk for more than ten minutes to go up the river embankment.

Walking to the embankment, the sand outside the embankment is full of sugar cane and peanuts. Lin Lan remembered that this kind of sugarcane was called white silk cane, which had a hard taste and a high sugar yield, and was a special sugar cane.

At this time, the whistle of the over-wheel sounded, and the boat was about to dock, Lin Lan picked up Xiaodouzi: "The ferry is coming, mother hold it and run faster." ”

The few people who were walking unhurriedly in front also quickened their pace.

Lin Lan rushed out of breath and walked across the pontoon bridge to get on the ferry, probably not a market day, there were not many people crossing the river, and there were seats on the side of the boat.

Lin Lan found a place to sit down and held the little bean in her arms: "Don't move the bean, I'll fall into the water later." ”

Xiaodouzi looked at the big boat curiously, and then looked at the waves lapping on the side of the boat: "Mom, Sun Wukong's raft is so small." ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Yes, Sun Wukong's raft is a raft, and this one is a ship, which is different." ”

Xiaodouzi thought about it and asked: "Why doesn't Sun Wukong take such a big boat?" ”

Lin Lan thought for a moment and said, "He hasn't learned the skills yet, so he can't build such a big ship." ”
