20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 96
This railway is an internal railway, built and operated by Nanpiao Mining Bureau and Beipiao Mining Bureau, mainly to serve the people in the mining area.

This road is the artery connecting the Beipiao mining area to Jinzhou, which is why the Nanpiao people who belong to Huludao are closer to Jinzhou. It is convenient and low-cost.

Historically, there were a lot of small trains in a region like Liaodong, many cities had them, such as Anshan, Dalian, Nanpiao Beipiao, Beixi, steel mines and coal mines, including Fushun, but they were dismantled early some.The Nanpiao and Beipiao side have been running for the longest time, and there are still sections in operation until now.

The train galloped across the mountains and across the river.Well, it’s a stroll. This kind of small train can’t run. It’s much slower than a big train, but it’s definitely much faster than a passenger car.Large trains are passenger trains operated by the National Railways.

He went up and down, drove and parked, a basket of chickens was brought up for a while, and a few bicycles were brought up for a while. Xia Maosheng was energetic now, and he didn’t sleep, so he talked to Xiaowei, pointed out the place for a while, and said something for a while. fun.

"Once when I came out in this car, two pigs came up in the middle, big pigs, and ended up running around all over the car. When they were caught and fixed, it took several stops. Haha, that old man was about to cry."

"You can pull anything, it's very convenient, and you don't need to charge extra for the goods. The people in this area have always had feelings for the Mining Bureau."

……

One hour, two and 10 minutes, the flight attendant shouted at the joint of the car: "Taiji is here, Taiji, get off the car and get your things."

Xia Maosheng stood up and said, "Come on, let's get off."

Xiaowei said, "Isn't it the Three Treasures?"

Xia Maosheng said: "This bus is for Sanbao. My second sister is there. I won't pass today. Let's go to my house first."

Xiaowei stood up and tidied up his clothes, and the two of them walked towards the car door. Xia Maosheng took out a cigarette and gave Xiaowei a cigarette, saying, "Stay at my house or a hotel?"

Xiaowei took the cigarette and glanced at the flight attendant standing aside, but the flight attendant took a look and said nothing.

Xiaowei lit the cigarette in Xia Maosheng's hand and said, "Let's stay in the hotel. It's your first time here. It's not convenient to live in your house. Then your family will be unhappy. How long are you going to stay here?"

Xia Maosheng said: "I'll report to my work unit, and I'll go to my aunt at night to see what she means, it's hard to say."

Xiaowei nodded, the body of the train jerked violently and made a "chuck", the speed of the train slowed down, more and more houses outside the window gradually joined together, and the train arrived at the station.

After getting out of the car, there were snowflakes in the sky and the wind picked up. The two of them stepped out of the station and walked along the road to the city.

Beipiao is considered to be a county town at this time. There are not many buildings, most of them are one-story houses. The whole county town looks very empty, and you can see the distance at a glance.The two of them walked three or four kilometers along the road against the wind and snow, and they were all sweating.

From time to time, vehicles from the Mining Bureau pass by on the road. Many buildings on the side of the road are also units or facilities under the Mining Bureau. However, at this time, it is covered with heavy snow, and many things are invisible. The coal washing pool is now just a bigger black hole in the snow.

Similar to all industrial areas, residential buildings and factory buildings are mixed together, and industrial facilities and factory buildings can be seen everywhere on the roadside. After passing the legendary coal washing pool and a factory building, the sight is empty, and a neat residential building comes into view, behind the side of the residential building , several tall buildings stand there.

Xiaowei unbuttoned a few cotton-padded jackets and asked, "How far is it?"

Xia Maosheng pointed to the tall buildings and said, "That's it, we'll be there soon, is it hot? We don't have any cars here."

Seeing the target, I felt a lot faster. The road here is also wider, and various shops began to appear on the side of the road. However, it was too cold and there were few pedestrians on the road. A man on a bicycle passed two people while panting heavily. Passing by, with white smoke billowing from his head, Xia Maosheng said with a smile, "This is also a warrior, it's so tiring to ride in this heavy snow, it's better to walk."

Going all the way to the back of the high-rise building, you can see the school not far away. There are shops on both sides of the road. There are several stationery, snacks, bicycle repair shops, home appliance repair, and an advertising company. This is new in this era. industry.

Xia Maosheng led Xiaowei directly to a stationery store, and said: "This is my eldest sister's store, first come here to sit and drink some water, you can live here, there are quilts, no one lives at night, It's just a bit cold, and the stove needs to be fired, and there is no heating in this area."

Xiaowei glanced at him: Did you tell me there was no heating in the place where the coal was dug?
Xia Maosheng pointed to this row of shops and said: "This row of houses are all built by private individuals. There is no formality, and the heating cannot be supplied. Anyway, it is a shop and there are no people to live in. But the formalities are being processed. Come on, let's go into the house." As they spoke, the two arrived at the door, the door was open without the cold curtain, and it just opened to the street.

A few children ran out from inside, dressed like tumblers, you and I squeezed together to share something, almost bumped into Xia Maosheng, Xia Maosheng stretched out his hand to hold the child, the child looked up at him, Twisting his shoulders and shaking off his hands, he walked past him.

When two people entered the room, Xia Maosheng called out, "Sister, sister."

The door curtain of the hut inside was raised, and a 27-year-old woman with short hair stuck her head out and looked out, then opened the door curtain and walked out, saying, "Why did you come back a while ago? Did you just arrive?"

Xia Maosheng looked around and saw that the things in the room were in a mess. It could be seen that the business was going well, and he didn't have time to gather them together.

"Oh, you're here now? I said what were the kids sharing." Xia Maosheng took out a box of cannonballs from a cardboard box, and said, "Internship, I have something to do when I come back, oh sister, this is my classmate." , Fengtian, I always go to his house to eat and drink."

Sister Xia smiled at Xiaowei and said, "Come in and sit down. The room is a bit messy. Do you want to drink water? I'll get you a pot. There's only a coal stove here, so it's inconvenient to do anything. Take less, how old are you?" Or a child?" Xia Maosheng was throwing cannons into his pocket, and was a little embarrassed by his sister's words. After thinking about it, he took out a few and put them back in the box.

His sister went into the back room to get the thermos, Xia Maosheng went to Xiaowei and handed him a box of firecrackers, saying: "This thief is loud, and there is still light at night." Xiaowei took it and looked at it, it was a little bigger than a matchbox , opened it, and there were a dozen white paper rolls inside, and asked: "How do you play this thing?"

Xia Maosheng took one out and said: "Just hold it here and throw it on the ground. Just use a little force, and there will be a sound when you fall. Wait a minute, I will look for it. There should be a cannon." He ran over there to look again. box.

Sister Xia came out with a thermos pot and two bowls, glared at Xia Maosheng, and said to Xiaowei: "Come and drink water, don't be like him, you will never grow up." Xiaowei agreed with a smile, and went to I poured a bowl of boiling water and held it in my hand. The temperature inside the store was about the same as outside, and holding the bowl of hot water felt much warmer.
