44 return trip
ยทยท
Chen Zhishu knew that they were leaving today, so he specially sent a letter of introduction.
Xie Mingzhu opened it and looked at it, and it read: Comrade Xie Mingzhu, female, 21 years old, a member of the Communist Youth League, returned to Shencheng City due to illness, and needed to transit on the way, please contact him.
Below is the signature and official seal of the brigade.
I have all the names and genders, and I don't have an ID card yet, so a letter of introduction is naturally the best proof of identity.
Xie Mingzhu thanked him again and again, and handed him the keys to the dormitory of the educated youth.
"There are still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field at the back, and there are also vegetables that we have just planted, and we will be able to eat them after a while." Xie Mingzhu said again.
As he spoke, he put the letter of introduction close to him, nodded his head in thanks, and said some kind words.
Chen Zhishu waved his hand, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Xie Mingzhu glanced at Huo Xuan and said softly, "Let's go!" โ
As soon as I got out of the yard, I saw Wu Baozhen running over with the child in her arms.
There was also a cloth bag in his hand, and he didn't know what it contained.
Seeing that Xie Mingzhu hadn't left yet, he quickened his pace.
Running to the front, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's still in time, I'm afraid you're leaving!" โ
As he spoke, he handed the cloth bag in his hand to Xie Mingzhu's hand, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "There are no good things at home, just these eggs, I will cook them for you, and I will eat them on the road when the time comes." โ
The eggs were still hot, apparently just cooked.
Xie Mingzhu subconsciously refused.
Wu Baozhen was afraid that she would refuse, so she hurriedly said: "I don't have anything to give you, so I can only give you these, if you don't accept it, you will look down on me!" โ
As he spoke, he raised his face, as if he was really angry.
Seeing her like this, Xie Mingzhu accepted the egg: "Then I'm welcome." โ
Wu Baozhen was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "Have a good trip." โ
Xie Mingzhu nodded: "You also take care." โ
After walking a long way, when Xie Mingzhu turned around, she was still holding the children and standing in place, silently watching them.
Seeing her turn around, he waved at her again.
Xie Mingzhu retracted his gaze.
It is said that marriage is a woman's second reincarnation, and if she does not vote well, she will never recover.
Sensing her low mood, Huo Xuan reached out and took her hand.
His hands were large, hot, and tightly wrapped around hers.
Xie Mingzhu raised his head and looked at him in some surprise.
He raised his lips and said with a smile: "Hurry up, you won't be able to catch the train if you drag it any longer." โ
Xie Mingzhu glanced at the hands of the two of them holding each other tightly, looked up at his smiling face again, and didn't say anything, but laughed too.
The two walked all the way to the commune, and it was almost noon.
After going to the restaurant for dinner, the two also caught the shuttle bus to the county seat.
The train ticket is more than four o'clock, and I will go to the county at this time, just in time.
There weren't many people in the car, so the two found two adjacent seats and sat together.
The county seat is forty or fifty miles away from the commune, although it is not too far, but because there is no asphalt road, the road is rugged, so it is not easy to walk.
In addition, the car was beckoned to stop, and it took more than two hours for them to arrive in the county.
Fortunately, the last stop of this bus stopped at the train station, which also saved them from having to transfer to the bus again.
There is still some time before the departure time of the train, so the two of them don't need to worry.
The times have been different in the past two years, and you can see it just by the flow of people at the train station.
The old train station didn't have so many people.
There are many people and a lot of luggage, and they keep squeezing to the front one by one, as if they can't get on the bus.
Xie Mingzhu and Huo Xuan were not in a hurry, nor did they squeeze forward, they just waited for them to squeeze into the car, and the two of them got into the car.
There are not many people on the sleeper car, after all, ordinary people can't buy a sleeper ticket.
Under normal circumstances, you can only buy it when you reach the level.
If Huo Xuan hadn't happened to have friends from the Ministry of Railways, they would have to sit all the way back.
Entering their box, there were four beds in it, and there were only two of them at this time.
"Huo Xuan!"
After putting away their luggage, they heard someone calling them.
Xie Mingzhu was taking out the blanket and preparing to spread it on the bed, when he heard the sound and turned his head to look over.
I saw a young man about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing at the door, smiling at them.
Xie Mingzhu saw that he was wearing a blue railway uniform, and knew that he was Huo Xuan's friend.
Huo Xuan also turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Are you here today?" โ
The man nodded and continued, "I'm on duty today, and I specially voted for you today, so that I can take care of you." โ
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Xie Mingzhu, who was standing behind him, and asked with a smile, "Don't you introduce me?" โ
Without waiting for Huo Xuan to speak, Xie Mingzhu put down the blanket in his hand first, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and took the lead in introducing himself: "Hello, my name is Xie Mingzhu." โ
After a pause, he glanced back at Huo Xuan again, and then said, "I grew up with Huo Xuan in a small courtyard." โ
The man immediately showed a meaningful smile, and said with a chuckle: "I know, I know, I have admired the name for a long time!" โ
As he spoke, he took off his white gloves, stretched out his right hand, shook it lightly with Xie Mingzhu, and then quickly let go, "My name is Zong Shengli, it's a pleasure to meet you." โ
Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and chuckled: "Thank you for your help this time, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to take such a comfortable train." โ
They came up as family members of employees, so they naturally had sleeper benefits.
"When the car arrives in Shencheng, I invite you to a meal to show your gratitude."
"I have been in a relationship with Huo Xuan for many years, and he helped me a lot before, and it was supposed to help each other, what to do with those polite words!"
Zong Shengli waved his hand and said with a smile, "Also, I don't think we are much older, you don't want to be 'you' and 'you', I'm in my prime, and I'm called old." โ
Xie Mingzhu called it just to be respectful, but seeing that he didn't like it, he didn't call it again.
"You can call me victory, and Xiaozong can do it too." Zong Shengli continued, "If you don't mind, it's not impossible to call me Brother Zong. โ
As soon as he heard what he said, Huo Xuan glanced at him silently.
Seeing this, Zong Shengli hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm kidding!" โ
As he spoke, he raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said, "I'll go to work later, I won't talk to you anymore, and I'll call you again at dinner time!" โ
He threw down the sentence, and without waiting for them to say anything more, he waved his hand to them and turned away.
