Whether it is 22 years or 81 years, the railway station before the Spring Festival is a battlefield that returnees hate deeply, but have to face.

Especially in 81, although the floating population is small, but the train frequency is less,

There is no self-driving, and there is a lack of supplementary means of transportation such as automobile transportation and aviation, and all the passenger flow pressure is squeezed into rail transportation.

Li Ye stood on the high platform outside the provincial railway station, looking at the endless dense human heads under his feet, and felt that his dense phobia was about to be committed.

This is still the provincial capital of Dongshan Province, and if it is a railway hub city like the provincial city of Honan, it will be even more fatal.

Because at that time, many domestic trains could not be directly reached, and they had to transit in such hub cities.

Li Ye heard his father's military friend say in his previous life that seven or eight young men went home to visit relatives, and when they passed by the provincial capital of Hoonan, they couldn't squeeze into the window of the transit stamp.

In desperation, he had no choice but to throw a comrade-in-arms into a trapeze through the railing, and stepped on the head to grab the window.

But even looking at the "not too crowded" scene in front of him, Li Ye also deeply doubted whether an elegant single woman like Mr. Ke could cope with this harsh environment of "standing with her feet off the ground but not falling".

But Li Dayong and Jin Peng, who were beside Li Ye, did not feel "dense fear" at all, but were a little excited.

Jin Peng said: "Do you know Ono? From here, you can take the train and get to Yangcheng in two days and two nights, where there is a lot of gold, and you can make a fortune by putting it back in a sack......"

Li Dayong looked at the high roof of the railway station and said yearningly: "I don't know if we can take the train from here next year and go to university in a distant place.......

People at the end of the eighties have too few opportunities to get out of their hometowns, and many people may be trapped in a county within a radius of dozens of miles for decades. (This is the case with many female relatives in the author's hometown.) ）

Therefore, good men with ambitions in all directions are full of longing for the distance and looking forward to the unknown.

Li Ye took a puff of cigarette: "Next year!" Next year, you discuss it with Hao Jian to see who will go to Yangcheng and see the situation. ”

Jin Peng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Li Ye: "Really? ”

Li Ye nodded: "Seriously, go and explore the way first, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, see the world and broaden your horizons." ”

Jin Peng nodded: "Okay." ”

He's always been smart, he doesn't say much, he just understands.

Li Dayong's eyes also lit up, and he said, "It's not safe for Brother Peng to go through the rivers and lakes by himself, should I ask for leave to go with you?" ”

Li Ye didn't think about it and said, "You stay at home honestly." ”

Li Dayong was stunned for a moment, quietly moved closer to Li Ye, pulled his sleeve, and his burning eyes were full of flattery.

Every boy has a dream of wandering the rivers and lakes, and now when I tell them how many car bandits and road rages there are on the road, they don't feel any danger, but feel very exciting.

Li Ye said coldly: "If you don't want to repeat the study by yourself next year, don't go anywhere, and honestly review it for me." ”

“.........”

"Puff~"

Jin Peng smiled directly, but he didn't comfort this little junior brother, but said like a stone: "Dayong, do you think we are still short of people now?" ”

"Ergou, Sanshui, pestering me all day long, I don't know how many times I begged, you are a school material, you don't study well and you actually grab food with us?"

Li Dayong moved aside angrily and squatted, he felt that Jin Peng, the senior brother, was not authentic, and he didn't help his brother at the critical moment.

Jin Peng smiled and ignored him, suddenly looked into the distance, and said in a low voice, "It's here." ”

Then, Li Ye saw the split-headed man who made people itch, and the bald man who was silent but as sharp as a knife.

Li Ye couldn't imagine that today he could see a strange thing that could bend and stretch.

The split-headed man named Ma Rui was full of bullying and dominating the market one moment, and the next moment he became extremely sleek and sleek.

Not only did he not "get along" with Li Ye and others, but instead climbed up with Jin Peng and became "friends".

The business was naturally done, and a pound of food stamps was six cents and a half, which was even more expensive than the normal market.

Li Ye directly believed in his evil, that eloquence, that tongue, is more powerful than cross talk, Jin Peng, Li Ye, and Li Dayong are not his personality combined.

Li Dayong looked down on this kind of thing that bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, but Li Ye didn't care, and asked him to help get some high-end cigarettes and alcohol, and also asked for a sleeper ticket to the capital.

This guy patted his chest and took care of everything, and the local product company and the railway department all had his relatives, as long as he had money, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Li Ye gave him a deposit of fifty yuan and agreed to meet at the station in two hours.

Now it seems that at least this guy is not short-sighted and swallowed Li Ye's fifty yuan.

"The three brothers have been waiting for a long time, this New Year's holiday, it's really hard to find someone, I finally got together what you wanted,

It's just that the second aunt on the railway is off duty today, and I can only help you buy three platform tickets......."

Ma Rui opened two bulging bags, which contained four cigarettes, a dozen bottles of wine, and some groceries.

The cigarette is known as the filter peony of "Little China", the wine is good, six bottles of Moutai, and the rest is "Xifeng".

Li Ye was barely satisfied with the things, but he was very disappointed that he didn't buy a sleeper ticket.

But they are blackened in the provincial capital, and if they buy tickets at the station, they will have to queue for a long time even for platform tickets.

"Okay! You do the math of how much it is. ”

"Haole, peony cigarette brother, you only need the whole one, eight yuan and five one, Moutai, we don't have a ticket, fifteen and one bottles......."

Li Ye: "........."

If it weren't for the people coming and going at the station, Li Yezhen would have performed a freehand brick splitting for this grandson.

There is more than a box of peony cigarettes, and he has increased it by 60% for himself, and if Moutai has a ticket, it will be eight yuan a bottle, which almost flips over.

Ma Rui was very bright-eyed, and when he saw that Li Ye was unhappy, he immediately said: "Brother, don't be too expensive, I told others, if you can't do it, just send it back to someone on the same day." ”

Li Ye glanced at him, and counted the money and paid the bill without saying a word.

The fallen masters of these years are all this virtue, if the heart is not black enough, how can it be raised?

The money and goods were cleared, Li Ye and Li Dayong collected their things, and went to the entrance of the station to wait for Mr. Ke first.

Jin Peng climbed on Ma Rui's arm and chattered for a while.

After Ma Rui left, Jin Peng came back and said to Li Ye: "Don't worry, how did he earn us, how did I let him spit it out." ”

Li Ye: "When you go out to seek wealth, don't get blood until you have to." ”

Jin Peng smiled: "Then how can it!" That Ma Rui is interested in our hemp candy business, and he has entered our set, and he won't let us lead him? ”

All right! In terms of running the rivers and lakes, Li Ye thinks that he is not as good as Jin Peng.

。。。。。

Mr. Ke got off the bus from Qingshui County to the provincial capital, trotted all the way to the train station, and then secretly complained.

A few days ago, she walked in the middle of the night, and when she came to queue up early in the morning to buy tickets, the provincial railway station was not so crowded!

When the Spring Festival comes, every day passes, the train station is more congested, which is also a helpless thing.

"Please let go, please let go, my train is almost at the station, the train is ....... at half past ten"

Teacher Ke couldn't care about his demeanor anymore, and squeezed forward while shouting, no matter whether he was an old man or a child in front of him, she couldn't care about it.

But Mr. Ke is holding a small bag in his arms, a big bag on his shoulder, and a burden on his back, bloated like a bear, where can he squeeze in the crowd?

"Let me get along, my train at half past ten ......."

Teacher Ke was so anxious that his voice was hoarse.

The earliest shuttle bus in Qingshui County is eight o'clock, and it is almost ten o'clock when I walk slowly to the provincial capital, how can I use it for half an hour?

"Don't shout big sister, I can't squeeze for a long time, you can't do anything about screaming and breaking your throat, you may be able to squeeze in if you throw the things on your body......." A thin man next to him stared at Teacher Ke and said.

Teacher Ke glanced at him and hugged the small bag in his arms tighter.

Inside is the manuscript of "Beacon Deserter", as well as a letter of introduction for going out, these two things are her life!

As for the change of clothes in the satchel and the twenty big steamed buns in the baggage, they are all chicken ribs at the moment, whether they are thrown away or not.

It's okay to change clothes, but I don't have many food stamps on me, so what will I eat when I get to the capital?

Although after so many years of embarrassment, Mr. Ke has been "wildened", and he can live by eating grass, but he will definitely not be able to live without eating.

But if you miss the train and can't get to the capital, then ....... What about the husband? What about the son?

Thinking back to how many times he was helpless over the years, Mr. Ke's eyes were foggy and he couldn't see things clearly.

No matter how tough and strong you are, what can you do?

What can change?

"Teacher Ke, Teacher Ke...... Teacher Ke........"

Suddenly, a loud call came closer.

Teacher Ke wiped his face, stood on tiptoe, and then saw Li Ye's handsome face, as well as Li Dayong's bear-like block.

"I'm here, here."

Teacher Ke sniffled and waved his thin arms vigorously, like weeds dying of thirst in the dry season, welcoming the drizzle that was about to fall.
