Chapter 704 Return (1)
After waiting for half an hour, they heard the loud speaker on the wall announcing the arrival of their train. They hurriedly followed the staff's instructions and entered the station.
When Liu Jingxue was in modern times, she had taken a few ordinary trains. When passengers entered the station and prepared to board the train, they would rush to get on, fearing that they would be left behind.
But compared to that time, people this era are crazier.
After all, in modern times, people need to bring less things when traveling, and most of them are suitcases that can be dragged along.
But now, every passenger basically carries large and small bags, and three bags per person is considered few.
Some passengers, such as Liu Jingxue, simply did not see any human figures, but only saw a moving mountain of luggage running forward.
I saw the figure in front of me, completely covered by several large packages, with only a part of my calves exposed, struggling desperately forward.
If it weren't for the fact that spirits were not allowed to form after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Jingxue would have thought that the package had grown legs.
Liu Jingxue was carrying two packages, and Liu Jianjun was carrying one package, with some dry food, and the two of them were walking along with the crowd.
I felt like I didn't have to put any effort into moving forward; the luggage carried by the people around me pushed me forward.
After finally reaching the platform, the passengers felt much more relaxed as they headed to their respective carriages.
After Liu Jianjun looked at the carriage instructions, he called out to Liu Jingxue, "Little sister, come this way."
Fortunately, their section was a soft sleeper car, so there were not many passengers on the train. They lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the staff to check their tickets and let them board the train.
While waiting in line, Liu Jingxue saw a large crowd of passengers pushing their way up in the distance. Even the staff were pushed aside by them and unable to check tickets. They felt very anxious for them.
Liu Jianjun looked in the direction she was looking, and after seeing clearly, he explained to her, "That's a hard seat compartment.
No matter which train it is, the hard-seat carriages are like this.”
He said suspiciously, "You sat in a hard seat when you came here, shouldn't you know that?"
Liu Jingxue quickly said, "My station is small, not many people take the bus.
The next transfer point is either Beijing or Kunming, both of which are big stations.
Since there were so many people on the bus and they all had a lot of stuff with them, I paid someone to take me to the station and get on the bus in advance, so I didn’t see it.”
Liu Jingxue said this because when she was waiting in the waiting room just now, there were staff members soliciting business. For only fifty cents, they could help carry the luggage and bring people to the station and get on the train in advance.
Sure enough, when Liu Jingxue said this, Liu Jianjun had no doubts.
“That’s the way it should be done.
You don’t know that you are most likely to encounter thieves when you get on the bus.
If you are not careful, you will lose your property. It is better to spend some money to avoid the risk. "
Hearing Liu Jianjun say this, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but laugh at a joke.
In fact, it is not a joke, but a real thing that happened.
In modern times, when my parents were still alive, the neighbor who lived in the rented house had a married daughter who followed her husband to Guangzhou to work.
My husband is from another city, and I always go back to his home to celebrate the Spring Festival. I haven’t been back to my parents’ home for several years.
We had already agreed on this year that I would take my husband back to my parents' home to celebrate the New Year.
The neighbors were naturally very happy. They prepared New Year's goods early and were waiting for their daughter and son-in-law to come back to celebrate the New Year.
But I didn’t expect that I didn’t get back.
She said that there were too many people on the train and her husband's wallet was accidentally stolen. The train ticket was in the wallet, and he could not return without the ticket.
At that time, taking the train did not require real-name registration, and there was no online ticket purchase. The train ticket was the only proof of travel.
The old couple waited for a whole year, but to no avail, their daughter, son-in-law and their family did not come back.
The next Spring Festival, she said she wanted to come back, but her husband's wallet was stolen again.
Fortunately, they learned their lesson this time and each kept their own ID cards and train tickets. The daughter came back with the child, but the son-in-law did not come back. Later, it was said that he took a ride back home with someone else.
This happened for two years in a row. When the news got out, some people called the son-in-law stupid, while others said he did it on purpose.
After all, every year during the Spring Festival travel rush, my wallet would never be stolen when I went back to my own home. But whenever I went to my wife's house, my wallet would be stolen. It always felt a little unusual.
Later, the daughter took her children back to her parents' home to spend the New Year with them every other year, but her husband never came.
People in that area have developed a new rule for looking for sons-in-law. Unless absolutely necessary, they will never look for a man from another place, especially one from the area where the son-in-law lives.
"Comrade, please show me your ticket and letter of introduction."
The staff's voice brought Liu Jingxue back to her senses. She quickly put the package on the ground, opened her bag, and took something out.
After checking, the staff returned the items to her and said, "Get in the car and go to the left."
Liu Jingxue bent down and picked up the package and got into the car. Liu Jianjun was standing in front waiting for him.
"Little sister, what were you thinking about just now? The staff called you twice and you didn't respond?"
This is Liu Jingxue's old problem. Once she is absorbed in doing something, she can't hear anyone talking to her, not even thunder or firecrackers.
"Nothing, I just thought that I still have a lot of things to do when I get back.
I will go into the mountains more often this year to get more bacon, and then I will give it to you and big brother." Liu Jingxue said casually.
"I'll be with you then."
"Wait until you're better.
If it’s cold and I don’t want to go out, I’ll find you a companion.”
The two found the door of their small box. Liu Jianjun knocked on the door to remind them and then pushed it open.
It is worthy of being a soft sleeper compartment for cadres. There are two bunk beds on the upper and lower floors in the compartment, a total of four beds.
At this time, there were things placed on the bed on the left, and it was obvious that someone was living there.
At this time, there were two people sitting on the lower bunk on the left, both looking at them.
The two beds on the right had their beddings neatly arranged; they must be the beds for the brother and sister.
"Are you the other two passengers in this compartment?" the obviously younger of the two asked.
"Hello, comrades. My sister and I are the passengers of these two beds," Liu Jianjun said, pointing to the beds on the right.
"There were no people in these two berths or these two stations. I thought the tickets hadn't been sold."
Liu Jianjun smiled and said nothing.
After entering the box and closing the door, the two walked towards their beds.
"Little sister, you live in the lower bunk and I'll live in the upper bunk," said Liu Jianjun.
Liu Jingxue quickly stopped him, "Brother, you are injured, and climbing up and down will tear the wound.
You should stay on the lower bunk and I'll stay on the upper bunk."
"You are injured. What are you doing?" The older man on the opposite side looked over and asked with a serious expression.
The aura he exudes is clearly the result of having held a high position for a long time, giving people a sense of authority without even getting angry.
Liu Jingxue was stunned. Did she say something wrong?
“I’m an active-duty soldier. I was injured on a mission not long ago, and my sister came to take care of me.
It will take another month or two for my injury to fully recover and resume training, so I am taking a break to go home and recover."
Liu Jianjun was worried about causing misunderstanding and hurried to explain.
After he finished speaking, he took out his ID and handed it to the other party for inspection.
The younger man, who looked like a secretary or something, quickly took the certificate and handed it to the older man.
After looking at the ID, the man smiled and returned it to Liu Jianjun.
“If he can buy a soft sleeper ticket, he can’t be a bad person.
I was just too nervous.”
"If there is anything inconvenient, just tell us and we will help you."
Liu Jianjun smiled and said, "Okay, if you have any needs, I won't be polite."
