It wasn't until he arrived at the train station that Zhou Weimin stopped nagging, and Duan Xingguo, who had a bitter face, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Tian Zhu, the rest of the people had experience of taking the train, and after entering, they went straight to the platform without stopping.

As for the train ticket, yesterday Zhou Weimin asked for a relationship and called the train station to buy it.

There were not many people in the train station in the early morning, the empty platform was cleaned, Tian Zhu kept looking around, and from time to time he asked two questions.

Xu Fugui smiled slightly when he saw him like this, the first time he took the train, he was also like Tian Zhu, and he was full of curiosity about everything around him.

After waiting for about half an hour, a green iron train rumbled by, and Tian Zhu hurriedly took two steps back in fright.

"If this hits a person, it won't turn into mush?" He said with a sigh of relief.

Everyone laughed, "You have nothing to do on the tracks, as long as you don't stand on the tracks, the train will definitely not hit you." ”

At this time, the staff held an iron horn and shouted: "The train to Tongcheng has arrived, please get ready for the passengers." ”

Zhou Weimin carried wicker boxes and beckoned them to get into the car.

Duan Xingguo trotted behind, "Director, aren't we going to the capital, what are we doing in Tongcheng?" ”

Zhou Weimin explained: "The railway station here cannot go directly to the capital, we have to go to Tongcheng first, and then transfer from Tongcheng to the capital. ”

"Where is Tongcheng, why haven't I heard of it?"

The five of them found a place to sit down, and Zhou Weimin yawned loudly, "Why are you talking so much, you will know when you get to Tongcheng, okay, don't talk, let me sleep for a while, and call me when you get to Tongcheng." ”

After saying that, he took out a straw hat and put it on his face, leaned his head on the wooden seat, and fell asleep directly.

Duan Xingguo was very excited, and asked them if they knew where Tongcheng was.

The three of them shook their heads, they had never heard of this place in Tongcheng before.

Fortunately, a middle-aged man next to him knew about it and explained to them: "Tongcheng is a good place, there are coal mines everywhere. ”

"Let me tell you, the railway station in Tongcheng is much bigger than the railway station in the province, and the rails are dense, like hemp rope entangled."

"But I heard from others that most of these railroad tracks are used to transport coal mines, and there are not many people in Tongcheng, and the workers are all in the mines outside the city."

"I still remember the first time I went to Tongcheng, as soon as I got off the train station, I heard a rumbling sound, I thought it was thunder at first, but later I learned that it was a coal mine blasting."

The middle-aged man was very talkative, sharing everything in Tongcheng with them, and the four of them listened with relish.

In general, Tongcheng is a city that has developed from coal mines, and there are many train lines passing through this area, including one to the capital.

As he spoke, the green train slowly started, like a long snake of steel, and rushed out of the provincial capital.

Xu Fugui looked out through the window, and on the empty field, patches of dense green corn grew.

These corns are probably two meters tall, and after half a month, after the leaves turn yellow, it will be the season of corn harvest.

The speed of the train was neither fast nor slow, and the scenery along the way was left behind, Xu Fugui yawned, sleepiness welled up, clasped his hands on his chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was not a sunny day outside the window, but dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the rhythm of rain.

He rubbed his eyes and asked Sun Zhiwen next to him, "Where are you?" ”

Sun Zhiwen shook his head, said he didn't know, and then raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "It's already twelve o'clock at noon." ”

"How long have I been asleep?" He said in some surprise, but at this time he was refreshed and full of energy.

Duan Xingguo held the book and looked at him with frowns, "Soon, soon, boss, you can sleep for a while." ”

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes angrily, his thoughts were almost clearly written on his face, he just wanted to take this opportunity to read more books.

Xu Fugui didn't have the habit of reading books on the train, and he always felt that he couldn't read it, so he either slept or looked at the scenery outside in a daze.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Bean-sized raindrops crashed against the windows, thunder rumbled, lightning tore through the sky, and the train seemed to have entered a thunderstorm cloud area.

However, the speed of the train did not stop for the slightest moment, as if the bad weather could not affect it in the slightest, and continued to move forward.

Zhou Weimin is indeed sleepy, and he is still sleeping, making a slight snoring sound, and turning a deaf ear to the movements around him.

"Lunchbox, lunch, five cents a piece, five cents a piece, a freshly baked lunch, it's hot."

The staff pushed a small cart and shouted loudly, and when they saw Tian Zhu looking at him, they asked with a smile, "Do you want a boxed lunch, five cents a piece." ”

Tian Zhu shook his head and gestured to the steamed bun in his hand, "We brought something to eat." ”

The staff was not disappointed either, and asked the person next to him to retract his legs and continue to shout.

Whether the lunch box can be sold or not does not affect his salary, anyway, the sale of money is also a public profit, and it has nothing to do with him, so he just performs his work.

"Fourth, take two steamed buns to fill my stomach." Xu Fugui said.

When the others heard him say this, they also felt a little hungry, so the four of them started to nibble on steamed buns with a kettle.

The train didn't stay in the thunderstorm area for long, and in about ten minutes, it passed through the area, and the bright sun shone down again.

The train stopped in several cities on the way, and some people went down and some people came up.

Until nightfall, Xu Fugui did not hear the staff say that he had arrived in Tongcheng.

In the afternoon, Zhou Weimin woke up, ate a few cold steamed buns, and said: "It's still very early to arrive in Tongcheng, at least the next day." ”

Zhou Weimin was right, until noon the next day, the train arrived at the railway station in Tongcheng.

The four of them got off the train with wicker suitcases, and Zhou Weimin found a staff member and handed him a cigarette, "Comrade, when is the train to the capital?" ”

The staff pinned a cigarette to their ear, "To the capital?" I'll see, oh, there's a shift at seven o'clock tonight and ten o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Zhou Weimin said thank you, turned around and said, "It's still early, let's go out to eat something hot first, and then take a stroll around Tongcheng, and hurry up to take the train in the evening." ”

Walking out of the train station, several people looked curiously at the city on the coal mine, which was indeed very different from the provincial capital.

The streets were pitch black, especially on the side of the road, with many cinders piled up, and occasionally there was a loud blasting sound around, and the roar of the train was incessant.
