Chapter 5: On the Train
The next day, when there was no one at home, she went into the space again and soaked herself in a medicinal bath.
Until she went to the countryside, Lin Lan was not ready to go out, so she stayed at home and played at home with the three little ones.
If the three little ones go out, Lin Lan will go back to her room.
Occasionally, when there is no one at home, I will add a little rice and noodles to the kitchen and drop a drop of spiritual liquid in the bucket filled with water.
During this period, Wang Yumei next door suddenly came to her, although the two were not only classmates but also neighbors, but in fact the two were not very familiar.
The relationship between the Lin family and the Wang family was not very good, as for what Lin Lan didn't know, and Lin Lan stayed at home most of the time because she had to paste matchboxes.
Lin Lan poured a glass of water and gave it to Wang Yumei: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Wang Yumei held the water: "I heard that you also signed up to go to the countryside?" ”
Lin Lan nodded: "Yes, I didn't find a job, it's better to take the initiative to sign up, and I can get a good place." ”
Wang Yumei smiled heartily: "I heard that you were assigned to Liuhuai County, Fenghe City, Hei Province, so I went to the Educated Youth Office to ask if you could still go there?" Luckily, it would be much better for the two of us to have a companion. ”
In fact, there was a classmate who was assigned there, but she didn't want to go there, and it just so happened that the place she was assigned to was where the classmate wanted to go, so the classmate gave her the money, and the two changed it.
Lin Lan is not bad at work, and Lin Lan has never had any friends, so when the time comes, be kind to her, she still has to dig out her heart and lungs?
Lin Lan has always felt that the Lin family is partial or something, but in terms of food and clothing, she is worse than her brothers and sisters, and the conditions of the Lin family are much better now, and only Lin Lan goes to the countryside alone, and the Lin family will definitely give her a subsidy when the time comes.
Wang Yumei hid the jealousy in her eyes, and when the time came, she would follow her, and she would be able to take advantage of it more or less.
Lin Lan said indifferently: "I can do it." ”
There was no such thing in the previous life, I don't know how this life has changed, but the impact on her is not great.
After Mother Lin came back from work: "Wang Yumei next door came to you today?" Hasn't the relationship between the two of you always been average? ”
To be precise, there has never been much intersection.
"She came to tell me that she had also changed to Liuhuai County, Fenghe City, Hei Province, to go to the countryside."
Mother Lin frowned: "If the two of you are divided together, remember to stay away from that girl, she is the same as her mother, she is a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early." ”
Obviously, the clerk said that there was only one place, and I don't know how the girl next door got it.
"Well, I see, Mom, I didn't know her well."
During this period, Lin Shen and Lin Mei came back once and brought some things back, and when Lin Lan left, they all had to go to work, so they couldn't come at that time.
Then one person gave Lin Lan another ten yuan, and Lin Mu also gave ten yuan, and the thirty yuan was sewn into the clothes by Lin Mu.
Lin Lan did not refuse, and she would return the gift in the future.
On the day of leaving, Lin's father and Lin's mother took leave to send Lin Lan to the train station, accompanied by Wang Yumei, but unlike Lin Lan, Wang Yumei went alone.
Along the way, Father Lin silently walked in front with heavy luggage, followed by Mother Lin, Lin Lan, and Wang Yumei.
When I arrived at the train station, there were voices of reluctance everywhere, mixed with some crying in between.
Lin Lan and Wang Yumei received their train tickets from the person in charge, and then wore a red flower on their chests.
Not long after the song was finished, the sound of 'besides' changed from small to loud, and a train came from a distance.
Mother Lin grabbed Lin Lan's hand: "When you arrive, write a letter to the family, the clothes and quilts are still a little short, and when you write a letter back, it will be finished, and when you get your specific address, your mother will send it to you." ”
Lin Lan was not in a hurry: "I know, Mom." ”
Wang Yumei clenched her fists tightly on the side, and the people in the tube building knew that Lin Mu didn't know where to buy cotton, and was going to make new thick cotton jackets and thick quilts for Lin Lan who went to the countryside.
She's gone? She bought all her own things, and if she wasn't afraid of making trouble, I was afraid that the subsidies for going to the countryside would be snatched away by her mother.
After Mother Lin finished speaking, Father Lin bought a platform ticket, sent Lin Lan into the carriage, helped put away the luggage, and stood for a while before holding back a sentence: "Remember to write back." ”
"Dad, I see." Father Lin then turned around and left.
Lin Lan's position and Wang Yumei's position are together, when the two get into the car, there is only the position of leaning on the aisle on both sides, after Lin Lan sat down, she waved goodbye to Lin's father and Lin's mother across the two people.
Soon, the sound of 'besides' sounded again, and the train continued on its way.
After the train started, Lin Lan did not say hello, but sat quietly.
For her, the other four people are all acquaintances, the kind that is more familiar than Wang Yumei, and they were assigned to the same brigade in their previous lives.
This train is a special train for educated youth, and the places that go to the countryside are basically in the same carriage in the same city, and then go to the same county and are arranged together.
Further down, it is the county's educated youth office that assigns it by itself.
The educated youth point in Liuhuai County directly assigns specific communes and specific brigades according to the order in which the educated youths arrive, and the five of them happened to be assigned to the same brigade in their previous lives.
After the train started for a while, the girl opposite Lin Lan by the window couldn't help but burst the peace: "Hello two comrades, my name is Zhu Panxuan, and I am from Haishi. ”
then introduced several other people to Lin Lan; "Opposite me is Xie Ying, next to Xie Ying is Jiang Zhengde, next to me is Wei Tai, we are all from Haishi, to be precise, we are all classmates."
When Lin Lan came up, she was really amazed, and reflexively she immediately went to see Wei Tai's reaction, and found that his eyes were just pure amazement, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, he hasn't opened up much yet, thinking of this, Zhu Panxuan can't help but feel a little depressed in his heart.
Wang Yumei responded enthusiastically: "My name is Wang Yumei, and across from me is Comrade Lin Lan, and the two of us are also classmates, not only that, but we are also neighbors." ”
Wei Tai: "Then you're really lucky. "If you are assigned to the same brigade again at that time, this luck ......
Lin Lan said lightly: "Although the two of us are classmates and neighbors, the two of us don't know each other very well, and the relationship between our two families is not very good, and my mother won't let me play with you." ”
Don't make it look like the two of them have a good relationship.
The other four were a little embarrassed.
Wang Yumei's face became ugly, are you three years old? Also, my mom won't let me play with you.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Xie Ying hurriedly changed the topic: "You should also go to Liuhuai County, Black Province, right?" ”
Lin Lan nodded: "Yes, you too, right?" ”
"Uh-huh."
"I heard it's cold over there, but there's a lot of food." Speaking of this, Wei Tai became excited: "I have a neighbor who was assigned to the Northeast, and she sent a lot of food back. ”
Jiang Zhengde said with some embarrassment: "It is for this reason that several of us chose the Northeast when we went to the countryside. ”
Hearing this, the others grinned.
But it is also normal, at this time, there is almost no shortage of food.
