Although Hu Mingchen was willing to spend more money to reduce the pain and suffering on the road, the proprietress still didn't buy a sleeper ticket after getting through the relationship, and only got two hard seat tickets.

Compared to a non-seat ticket, it is good to be able to have a hard seat ticket.

After eating, the non-seat ticket was refunded, and Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang crowded into the bus with the army of passengers.

Although it is not the Spring Festival transportation period now, there are still a lot of people on this express train to Guangzhou, and I am afraid that Hu Mingchen will be lost, so Hu Jianqiang pulls Hu Mingchen and squeezes into the train with great effort.

I found my seat, and there was already an old and a young man dozing off in the seat.

Hu Jianqiang was rude and woke up the other party, showed them the ticket, and asked them to give up their seats.

Although Hu Jianqiang's demeanor was not very polite, Hu Mingchen didn't say anything, this is how it is on this crowded train, if he is polite and kind, then he can only stand.

The old and the young also knew that the seat was not theirs, and when they saw the main owner coming, they quickly stood up, put away their luggage, and gave up their seats to Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang, who were standing in the aisle next to them.

Hu Jianqiang asked Hu Mingchen to sit by the window, and he sat on the side. The luggage was stuck in the luggage rack, and the bag of food was stuffed under the seat. The small table in the window was already filled with their belongings by the two travelers opposite.

With a long whistle, the train departed, Hu Mingchen and they had to stay on the train for more than 30 hours, with the backward movement of the electric pole outside the window, Hu Mingchen was reborn and embarked on a long journey away from his hometown for the first time.

Although Hu Mingchen sat in his seat with peace of mind, he had been observing the old and young who were driven up by their uncle and nephew, intentionally or unintentionally, and Hu Mingchen had a faint sense of guilt for them in his heart.

The old man looks to be in his fifties, his temples are slightly gray, the wrinkles on his forehead are clearly visible, and he looks relatively new in a blue tunic, and the color is quite dark, however, it should be some years old, and he doesn't want to buy it recently. It is estimated that for this old man, this dress will only be worn when he goes out or visits relatives and friends.

The boy next to him looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, with long and messy hair, and he probably hadn't cut his hair for months. He had left school for the summer vacation, but he was still wearing a blue and white school uniform, and the logo of Fuwen County No. 2 Middle School was printed on his chest.

The old man leaned one hand on the side of the back of the chair and the other hand on the boy's body, for fear that passing passengers would bump into him. The boy rubbed his loose eyes, and then looked curiously left and right, as if everything in front of him was quite fresh.

Hu Mingchen of Fuwen County had never been there, but he knew that there was no train station there, and the old and young had to take the train to the neighboring city of Quyang. Judging from the dilemma of the two of them just now, it is estimated that they didn't sleep all night last night.

At noon, the food cart pushes by, and the travelers either buy a fast food to solve the five internal organs temple, or take out the food they have prepared in advance, especially instant noodles and boiled eggs are the most common. For a while, the entire carriage was filled with a chaotic and complex smell.

The two men sitting opposite Hu Mingchen were supposed to be northerners, and what they took out turned out to be flatbread rolls and green onions, and they also brought a bottle of sauce with them. I saw that they picked out some sauce with chopsticks and dipped it on the pancakes, and the washed green onions were placed in the middle.

"Young man, do you want to have some?" A male traveler saw Hu Mingchen looking at his eating intently, and thought that Hu Mingchen wanted to eat, so he politely invited.

The two men brought at least two dozen sheets of pancakes, a thick stack, and a bulging plastic bag of green onions.

"No, thank you, we also brought something to eat. Hu Mingchen politely declined.

"Hehe, you southerners may not be used to eating either, and you will feel choked. The other party didn't force it, and said with a smile.

When Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang got into the car, they also saw that the two did bring a lot of food.

The vast majority of people who ride the train don't like to eat what is on the train unless they have to. Whether it's fast food or even stir-fried vegetables on the truck, not to mention the price, the taste is still unpalatable, and the hygiene always feels lacking.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people don't like to eat the food on the truck, and they are forced to be helpless.

"It's okay, if I didn't brush the sauce, I might feel that. Hu Mingchen said casually.

Hu Mingchen actually ate this kind of flatbread roll with green onions, but that was before he was reborn. At that time, he once followed the contractor to work in the north to build the railway, and the workers on the construction site at that time were visiting many people, and the food was naturally based on northern taste. At that time, Hu Mingchen had eaten steamed buns for fifteen days in a row, this flatbread roll and green onions, and he had eaten them a few times, how did others think he didn't know, anyway, Hu Mingchen could eat it, the softness of the pancakes, the crispness of the green onions, and the fragrant sauce and the smell of the green onions, it tasted good to chew.

In fact, it was not only Hu Mingchen who was staring at other people's eating, the boy turned his head and kept watching this strange way of eating, but this northerner did not have the idea of inviting the boy.

Hu Jianqiang took out two boxes of instant noodles from the plastic bag under the chair, and took out two more boiled eggs and some snacks.

"I'll go to the boiling water stove to make noodles, you eat some small things by yourself first, wait a minute. Hu Jianqiang stood up and explained.

"Actually, I'm not hungry yet. ”

"If you're hungry or not, you have to eat something, and when it's time to eat, and you think this instant noodles are a lot of things, it's just to fill your stomach." After Hu Jianqiang finished speaking, he took two boxes of instant noodles and four plastic-guaranteed braised eggs and went to instant noodles.

In a carriage, if everyone is snoring and eating, if you don't eat with you, it's as if something is missing.

As soon as Hu Jianqiang left, the old man said to Hu Mingchen with a shy face: "Can we sit down, there is no one in this position now, and when he comes back, we will let him go immediately." ”

"Old man, sit down, it's okay, you sit. ”

"Thank you, Xiaojun sit down, take a rest, and I'll let people go after a while. Receiving Hu Mingchen's consent, the old man did not sit down immediately, but beckoned to the boy he was holding.

"Grandpa, I'm not tired, you sit, you're old, you sit. After standing for hours, the boy couldn't really not be tired, but he gave up the opportunity to the old man.

is really a sensible child, Hu Mingchen said secretly in his heart.

"Silly boy, grandpa is very tough, when you are still growing your body, let you sit on it, hurry up, be obedient. As he spoke, the old man pressed the little army on Hu Jianqiang's seat.

Xiaojun still wanted to struggle and pull his grandfather to sit again, but the old man continued to press him, unmoved.

"Little brother, why don't you squeeze me here, so that your grandfather can sit on his side for a while. Hu Mingchen pondered for a moment and simply suggested.

Although Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang sat on this kind of chair for two people, it was still reluctant to squeeze three people, and with Hu Mingchen, they were not the kind of burly.

Xiao Jun smiled shyly at Hu Mingchen, and really moved his butt towards Hu Mingchen's inside, giving up a palm-sized place outside.

"Xiaojun, it's okay, don't crowd others, thank you, young man, you are so kind-hearted. The old man also seemed to have soreness in his feet and legs, and he was not too polite, so he sat down with his ass on the palm-sized place.

The old man sat down and kept tapping his thighs lightly with his hands to allow his muscles to relax.

"Old man, where are you going?" Hu Mingchen took the initiative to ask.

"We're going to find my father, who works in another province. Before the old man could speak, Xiao Jun replied first.

"Oh, is it in Guangzhou?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"No, it's in Pengcheng. Xiaojun replied.

"My son and daughter-in-law are both working in other places, no, the child is on summer vacation, I miss his parents, and his parents also called back to their hometown, saying that they can let the children live for a month or two, no, I took the children with me. Xiaojun's grandfather then added.

"Oh, I see, we're going to Pengcheng too, just by the way. ”

"Then you also went to find your parents?" asked Xiaojun in surprise.

"This ...... No, my parents are at home, we just went there to do some errands, and we can't live like you for that long. Hu Mingchen's words were blocked.

"You're so young, what can you do, I thought you were the same as me, and you went to find your parents. ”

"Xiaojun, don't talk nonsense, didn't I tell you before I went out, are you hungry or not, if you're hungry, I'll give you buns to eat. Xiaojun's grandfather may have felt that Xiaojun's words were abrupt, so he hurriedly stopped.

"Grandpa, I'm not hungry yet. Xiaojun, who was criticized, lowered his head and said.

"Your buns are cold, I'm afraid they won't taste good. I've got biscuits here, so let's put them on first. Hu Mingchen said as he handed a box of biscuits to Xiao Jun.

But Xiaojun didn't answer at all, or without his grandfather's nod, he wouldn't answer at all.

"Thank you, you can keep it and eat, we brought a few steamed buns, although it is cold, but with a little boiling water, you can eat it." Xiaojun's grandfather refused.

Maybe they think it's enough for people to give up their seats and sit down, but if they eat other people's things, where is it embarrassing.

People didn't pick it up, and Hu Mingchen couldn't stuff it, so it happened that Hu Jianqiang came back with two bowls of instant noodles.

Seeing Hu Jianqiang coming back, Xiaojun and his grandfather hurriedly stood up and sat down.

Seeing the two of them get up from their seats, Hu Jianqiang behaved very calmly, he handed a bowl of instant noodles to Hu Mingchen, and the other bowl was eaten by himself.

Lifting the paper lid, Hu Mingchen found that in addition to noodles, three braised eggs were added to his bowl.

"Third uncle, why did you add three to me, so don't you just eat one?" said Hu Mingchen poked one with a plastic fork and handed it to Hu Jianqiang.

"You eat, you eat, I don't like to eat eggs in the first place, and besides, you eat more than mine, I'm really not hungry. Hu Jianqiang turned around and did not accept the braised eggs handed by Hu Mingchen.
