Lin Yuezhen nodded and gestured: "Just like me, my brothers use me as a perennial servant, and I feel that they have suffered a loss." Seeing that my life was better, I immediately posted it. Why don't you want to think about it, if it weren't for my aunt and uncle, the thatch on my grave would be tall. ”

Lin Lan said with a smile: "Sister Yuezhen, people are mutual, you must be worthy of help, and my parents will help you." ”

When she was at home, Wu Shufen reminded her to beware of the Yuezhen brothers, worried that they would pester Yuezhen to teach her brother how to make cakes.

In fact, she also thought that if Lin Yuezhen was coaxed by her brothers again, her relationship with Lin Yuezhen would end here, and people who had no ears were not worth helping.

Lin Yuezhen made a sincere gesture: "I will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life!" ”

Lin Lan patted her hand and didn't say much, and told her and Qiaohui that she and Xiangyang were going to the provincial capital to buy big ingredients, and asked them to help take care of the house, as well as Xiaodouzi.

The two told her to go at ease, and they watched at home.

Xiaodouzi came back from school and Lin Lan said to him: "Son, my mother and Uncle Xiangyang are going to the provincial capital, you help your mother take care of the house at home, and the chickens and geese in the pen will be handed over to you to feed." ”

"Mom, the provincial capital is not far away? How many days will you go and come back? What do I do if I miss you? Little Douzi frowned, one question after another.

Lin Lan took him to his lap and sat down, and said softly: "The provincial city is similar to Shishanling, let's come back in three days sooner, and come back in four days at a slower pace." ”

"Alas!" Little Douzi leaned on her arms, and sighed like a little adult, "I will feed the chickens and geese." ”

Lin Lan laughed after hearing this, and pinched his little nose: "Little man, why are you sighing?" ”

Xiaodouzi put his arms around her neck: "I can't bear you and Uncle Xiangyang." ”

Lin Lan patted his vest and said with a smile: "Manly husband, mother-in-law and mother-in-law want others to laugh at you." ”

"Uncle Xiangyang said that I am not a husband, but a boy." Xiaodouzi looked at her proudly and said.

"Okay, mom took our boys to dinner."

In the afternoon, Li Xiangyang went to Zhou Xiaohong's house and made an appointment to take the train tomorrow morning to the provincial capital.

Zhou Xiaohong learned that Li Xiangyang was going to the police station to open a letter of introduction, so she asked her family Chen Dongming to go to the police station with him and find Yao Xiuyun to open a letter of introduction.

Li Xiangyang opened a letter of introduction, and the two went to the train station to buy train tickets. Chen Dongming said that the three-hour journey, set off in the morning and arrived in the afternoon, no need to find someone to buy a sleeper, just buy a hard seat, bring a poker on the bus, and the four of them will play cards for a while.

Zhou Xiaohong came to Lin Lan again to buy fungus, mushrooms, and peppercorns, and planned to give them to Xu Mingxuan.

Early the next morning, Lin Lan took four lion's mane mushrooms, some lamb mushrooms, fungus, and peppercorns, and took a basket to fill some self-made kidney bean rolls, pumpkin pies, and pea cakes, and prepared to take them to Lao Chen.

At half past seven, Li Xiangyang came to Lin Lan's house, the two of them said goodbye to Xiaodouzi with their luggage, rode to Zhou Xiaohong's house, and the four of them went to the train station together.

When Lin Lan arrived at the station, she found that the railway station in Dongshi was quite shabby, and it was not as good as a small station built thirty years later.

After entering the station, Lin Lan found that there were quite a few people after catching the train, some carrying woven bags, urea bags, and some carrying backpacks and chickens and ducks.

Lin Lan remembered the taste of taking the train in the past and had a headache, but it was okay in winter, the smell on the car was not very big, and in summer the car was crowded like canned sardines.

Passengers who take a long-distance bus and do not buy a seat ticket will go directly to the seat of the car, pay attention to a little bit of lay a woven bag to sleep, and if they are not particular, lie down on the spot.

Lin Lan didn't buy a seat ticket when she went to buy before, and she also slept under the stool, her feet smelled, and her fart smelled, and the smell was really sour.

Thirty years later, all kinds of transportation are also more developed, discounted air tickets, high-speed bullet trains, and even private cars are commonplace, and people's travel is more convenient.

In these years, there are no cameras, and the train station is a place where scammers, three-handed, and traffickers gather, and if you are not careful, the money in your pocket will be stolen.

Li Xiangyang carried the luggage in one hand and escorted Lin Lan in the other, looking at the ill-intentioned guys with warning eyes from time to time, reminding Zhou Xiaohong and Chen Dongming to be careful.

It was November days, and when they squeezed out of the ticket gates, they were all sweating hot.

Zhou Xiaohong wiped her sweat and sighed: "Why are there so many people? ”

Chen Dongming also said: "Last time I came to see Xu Mingxuan, there weren't so many people, how long has it been, and there are so many people driving the car." ”

Li Xiangyang remembered that when he went to find Yao Xiuyun to open a letter of introduction, there were already a few people lined up: "Let go, it will be easier to open a letter of introduction, and there will be more people going out to visit relatives." ”

Lin Lan felt that it was still the reason why there were too few trains now, so she looked at the ticket and pointed to the front: "Car No. 8 is in front." ”

"Let's go!" Li Xiangyang pulled her towards the front.

In this year's trains, there were fast and slow trains, Lin Lan and they took the express train, the small stations in the townships did not stop, and the big stations in the county town stopped.

The four of them got on the bus and found a seat, the seat was next to the toilet, Lin Xiangyang said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's winter, and it smells a bit big in summer." ”

Chen Dongming smiled: "Whatever, it's good to have a seat." ”

Zhou Xiaohong nodded, and whispered to the three of them: "Wait a while, we have to take care of our things, I heard them say that there are more than three hands in the car." ”

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang nodded, and Chen Dongming said: "I know, when I entered the station just now, I saw three hands squeezing into the crowd. ”

The three of them sat in a row of seats, and one was opposite, and Li Xiangyang and Chen Dongming put their luggage on the luggage rack.

Chen Dongming sat opposite the window, and Lin Lan, Li Xiangyang and Zhou Xiaohong sat in a row.

Then came a very good-looking little girl with big braids, big watery eyes, white and tender skin, which made people like it.

The little girl glanced at Lin Lan and the others, put the urea bag and basket she was carrying on the stool, and prepared to take off her shoes and put things on the luggage rack.

"Little sister, I'll help you put it on." Chen Dongming stood up and helped her put her luggage on the luggage rack.

After the big pigtail blushed and thanked him, he sat down in his seat quietly.

As the train was about to start, a fat white woman in her forties, with curly hair and a brown coat, walked over from the ninth carriage and sat down next to the little girl.

The fat woman looked very kind in vain, and after sitting down, she glanced at Lin Lan and a few people, and when she turned her head to see the big braid, her eyes lit up, and she looked at her with a smile: "Little sister, you are also from the provincial capital?" ”

The little girl hesitated, but nodded.

Lin Lan felt that the eyes of the fat woman and her little girl were full of eagerness, just like a hunter who saw a good product and couldn't wait to get it.
