The trains in the 1980s were basically green leather cars. Before the train entered the station, you could hear the roar and billowing smoke from a distance.
As soon as the sound of the train sounded, the passengers around began to commotion, either looking at their watches or the big clock at the train station to see if it was the train they were waiting for.
Although it was already two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Jianjun was still in good spirits. He woke up the two children half an hour before the train arrived at the station and waited in the waiting area on the side.
It was the first time for Jiang Shengnan to travel far, and he had been curious about the train described in the textbook for a long time.
Unlike Jiang Liu, who has seen a lot of the world, the old-fashioned green leather car is a giant in Jiang Shengnan's eyes at the moment, and the peeling paint on the outer shell made her see an indescribable beauty.
Their station was one of the stations where the train stopped. After the train stopped moving, a group of passengers who were about to get off the train rushed down, and those passengers who were about to get on the train were afraid that they would not be able to get on the train, so they rushed forward by pushing.
"Follow Dad closely."
Jiang Jianjun was holding the luggage and had no time to pull the two children, so before boarding the train, he specially tied a rope around the children, and tied the other end of the rope to his waistband to prevent the children from being lost.
However, even with this guarantee, Jiang Jianjun still warned a few times worriedly.
This train has been in operation for several years. Even if it is cleaned by a special person every day, it will be overhauled every once in a while. The interior and exterior decorations are still unavoidable. Jiang Shengnan stepped on the ground of the train carriage and could hear the creaking sound. Looking around, the leather covers on the seats on both sides have basically been cracked, there are some old cars with stains, and the windows are not so bright.
It is winter now, except for the time when passengers get on and off at the station, the doors and windows will not be opened. There are already many passengers coming and going on this train whose terminal station is thousands of miles away.
The smell of feet, the strange smell of mixed food, and the smell of poultry defecating and peeing in cages, a special chemical attack gas has been brewing in the small space that has not been ventilated for a long time. Jiang Shengnan has not yet When I had time to be happy about getting on the train, I was forced to hold my nose and breathe through my mouth when I couldn't hold it anymore.
Jiang Jianjun loves his son, and usually buys a seat ticket when he travels far away, but this time with two children, he naturally chose the more expensive sleeper ticket, or the more comfortable soft sleeper among the sleeper tickets.
The soft sleeper is different from the ordinary hard sleeper. It is in the shape of an independent small box. There are six beds in a room with a door. Except for the passengers in the soft sleeper, other people generally cannot enter.
These days, the families who are willing to spend money to buy soft sleeper tickets are generally not bad, so the soft sleeper environment is also very good, with stronger security and privacy, and there is almost no need to worry about the risk of being stolen.
Sure enough, when Jiang Shengnan walked to their cubicle, the strange smell eased a lot.
Jiang Liu and Jiang Shengnan were ten and eleven years old, and neither of them was tall enough to buy a full ticket for children. Therefore, Jiang Jianjun could only buy two soft sleepers. In the middle of the night, he was afraid of waking up other people in the car He led his daughter to the upper berth, and then he and his son slept on the lower berth.
The soft sleeper is good in addition to having an independent space. It does not need to be divided into upper, middle and lower beds, which makes it more comfortable to sleep.
At this time, Jiang Shengnan was already very sleepy. Although he was still very excited and surprised, he soon fell asleep with the sound of the train clanging.
Early the next morning, she was woken up by the conductor's yelling to sell food. It turned out that she slept until noon.
"Comrade, do you want some water?"
A middle-aged woman dressed as a conductor opened the door and came in, holding a hot water bottle with the logo of the railway bureau on it.
Jiang Shengnan watched her father take out two enamel water glasses from the suitcase as if by magic, and asked the conductor to pour two glasses of water. Others in the same room also took out water glasses, as if they were used to this kind of behavior.
After pouring the water, the conductor closed the door and left. Jiang Jianjun handed the water glasses to his daughter and son.
"The water on the train is boiled with boilers. Each boiler is located at the junction of some carriages. There are too many people on the train, and there are queues for pouring water. Moreover, the water supply of the train is also limited. Not every time you go drink hot water."
While handing water, Jiang Jianjun explained to the two children who had never traveled far: "From time to time, there will be a conductor on the train carrying a kettle to pour water. Have a drink."
This is also Jiang Jianjun's experience after many trips. In winter, the car is as cold as an ice cellar, so hot water has become an urgent need. Every time he goes to pick up water, it is like fighting a war.In the future, he will reduce his expenses to the minimum, and then take part of the money he earns home to his wife, and part of it to honor his mother.
He is a standard male chauvinist, it doesn't matter if he suffers, the children and wives must enjoy the blessings, he wants to be the kind of excellent man who can support the whole family.
"In the future, when I drive the train, grandma, parents, older sisters, second sisters and younger brothers will all be able to eat delicious train meals."
After hearing Jiang Jianjun's words, Jiang Shengnan was a little ashamed. She forgot her father's hard work in earning money outside, and always played petty temper with him when he came back because he was partial to his younger brother.
? The most expensive soft sleeper on the train is still tied up, and the waist and back hurt from sleeping, not to mention the ticket and hard sleeper. Jiang Shengnan imagined the scene of sitting on the train for two or three days in a row, and couldn't help feeling sorry for his father.
"Good girl, have ambition."
Jiang Jianjun laughed. When his daughter gets married, he should take care of his husband and children. As a father, he has the nerve to eat his daughter. He is still waiting for his son to take care of him.
However, he didn't discourage his daughter's filial piety, and cheerfully gave a new suggestion, "It's better to fly a plane than to drive a train. The air tickets are so expensive. The food on the plane must be better. Dad hasn't been on it yet." As for airplanes, if you can fly airplanes in the future, Dad will borrow your light to take a flight."
Jiang Liu, who was on the sidelines, said with embarrassment that the plane meals of later generations were even worse.
"airplane!"
However, because of what his father Jiang Jianjun said, Jiang Shengnan has a new ideal, the food on the plane, I really want to taste it.
"Brother, this is your child, he is really sensible and filial."
The passengers in the same room heard the conversation between Jiang's father and daughter and couldn't help but join in.
"Your family's children are really sensible, unlike mine, they caused trouble for me on Sundays. What you said just now is good. We are parents for the benefit of our children. It's nothing to suffer for them."
"Hahaha, they are indeed very sensible. These two children both scored double percentiles in the final exam. To satisfy the children's little wishes, take them to play in the Pearl Market."
Jiang Jianjun straightened his back, what's wrong with my father being illiterate, his son and daughter's grades are all excellent.
"Wow, this is amazing."
Everyone fulfilled Jiang Jianjun's little wish to show off his child, and began to praise him.
"Where is it, I used to be very naughty, but don't worry if you grow up and become sensible, your children will understand the hard work of adults sooner or later."
Jiang Jianjun complimented a few words in satisfaction.
The chatterbox was opened up. Except for Jiang Liu and Jiang Shengnan, all the adults in this carriage were married and had children. They were chatting about children, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively¡ª¡ª
They got on the train in the middle of the night, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the Pearl Market. Fortunately, the Pearl Market is very prosperous now, and at every time point, there are foreigners from different places who want to come to the Pearl Market to dig gold, so Even at night, the weather is cold, and there are still many tricycles waiting outside the train station to pick up and drop off these guests from afar to different guest houses or private small hotels.
The temperature in Zhushi is warmer than Jiang Shengnan and others' hometown, but in the middle of the night, the three of them still put on their thickest clothes.
Because of a lot of luggage and two children, Jiang Jianjun ruthlessly called a taxi.
Jiang Shengnan looked at the colorful neon lights and the row upon row of tall buildings through the glass window.
This is Zhushi!
Looking at this big city, which is completely different from the small village, as Jiang Liu imagined, a kind of desire called ambition grew in Jiang Shengnan's heart. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
