A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 186 [186] Meeting Tao Jianguo by chance (3000)

Tao Yi shook his head: "Don't worry, with these neighbors here, I will take care of them. It's not easy to take the train with us when we are old. If something happens, wouldn't it be a bad thing with good intentions? It's not worth it. Moreover, you are familiar with them, are our family members familiar? It will only add to everyone's embarrassment if they pass by for no reason."

Zhuo Lin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but she didn't insist anymore, because she felt that Tao Yi's words were right, and she had already done what she could do, especially now that they had pension money, and they no longer had to worry about running out of money for medical treatment, so they felt relieved De and Tao Yi left Hou's house and took the bus all the way to the train station.

When we arrived at the designated location of the train station, we saw the person that Uncle Tao Yi was looking for, and then we went into the special window of the train station ticket office together with that person, and successfully got two tickets for the upper berth. The berth ticket was rejected by Tao Yi, who said that the upper berth is fine. If you are young and want a lower berth, you may have to let it out if you can’t sleep. Why waste that money?

A ticket for an upper berth costs nine yuan, which is really not cheap in this day and age. A lower berth costs ten yuan, while an ordinary ticket only costs three or four yuan. The difference is reflected here.

I bought a sleeping ticket and thanked them very much. The two of them waited at the train station until nine o'clock in the evening before entering the station. Because it was winter, they prepared all the food and drink they needed along the way and returned them to their families. I bought BJ Roast Duck and brought JDZ bracelets, because there are too many special products and I don’t have time to buy too many, so I plan to bring two kinds of them for a holiday. If there are too many, her parents will complain about her spending money, so she has to save a little.

The train travels from Beijing to the capital of southern Henan Province. They need to visit their uncle first, and then go home with their sixth brother Zhuoer. Now Zhuoer is waiting for them in the military family courtyard. This is the route that has been planned long ago, but uncle Mother doesn't go with them, she wants to stay here, while selling tofu, while waiting for uncle's holiday, and then go back to the old house in the country to celebrate the New Year together.

Although the uncle's house in the provincial capital is allocated by the army, and my parents have a house in the county town allocated by my father's unit, but the area is not large. If the two families want to get together, they have to go back to their hometown to live together. Zhuo Lin and Tao Yi are not counted. The first ones to go home were Joyo and Zhuo Yuan. Both of them were in the Northeast, and they were preparing to return early. Of course, their journey home was also the hardest.

Probably except for her and Tao Yi, the other brothers are crowded with hard seats. It's hard to say whether there is a seat or not!

The second brother in Shanghai, the third brother in Nanjing, and the fifth brother in Dalian should arrive home around the same time as them.

Because it is a sleeper ticket, when checking the ticket in the waiting hall, I didn't rush into the station, and I didn't squeeze with them. Carrying two more bags with the words [Shanghai] printed on them, he entered the station slowly, and found the location according to the carriage.

There are a lot fewer people on the sleeper side, and most of the people who can get this seat are related, well-connected and wealthy people, so at a glance, most of them are well-dressed, and those who came early have already sat by the window to open the newspaper, wearing Putting on glasses to read the newspaper, there is also a young mother carrying one on her back and holding one in her hand. The little soldier brought it to them, saluted them, and watched them leave under the constant thanks of the woman. It seemed that they were visiting relatives military.

Of course, there are also old people who look like retired cadres. The old people are very particular, and they bring their own sheets and quilts. In the old woman's chatter, she saw the most down-to-earth portrayal of life.

As expected of being a soldier, Tao Yi swiftly put the two big bags on the luggage rack, and the two small bags on the luggage rack above the upper bunk. All the food and drink needed on the road were in his marching In the bag, put it on the shop for easy access at any time.

Because it was already night when they got on the bus, and they had already eaten and drank down there. After driving, they lined up to go to the toilet. It was almost time to turn off the lights. The two of them took off their shoes and took them to the upper bunk. It was not them With the heart of a villain, there is really someone who steals shoes, so you have to think in the direction of safety.

The two of them didn't pay attention to making the bed sheets, because they slept with their clothes on, so it was unnecessary.

There are two middle-aged people in the middle berth and a pair of elderly people in the lower berth. On the surface, they are relatively harmonious, but after the lights are turned off, the harmony is not so harmonious. The snoring sounds of the whole carriage come and go, which is called a lively scene. Tao Yi, who was snoring, didn't know if it was because of the fatigue of running around for the past two days, but he also started to snore. Almost fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, some women and old men quarreled because they went to the toilet without queuing. When Zhuo Lin rubbed her eyes and yawned and sat up, Tao Yi opposite had already folded the quilt. Relying there to read engineering professional books that she didn't quite understand.

He is wearing a military green shirt with a sweater knitted by his mother, blue trousers, dark blue socks, and a crew cut without a military cap. It seemed a lot more fortitude and sternness.

"Are you awake?" Sensing her movement, he turned his face to observe her expression, "Did you sleep well?"

Zhuo Lin rubbed her messy hair and nodded: "Brother, you snored last night. This is the first time I've heard you snore. I haven't heard it before!"

They are brother and sister, maybe Tao Yi rarely enters her room, but she often goes in and out of her brothers' room, so it is normal for Tao Yi not to snore.

The dark handsome face is embarrassed: "Maybe I was too tired yesterday. If you can sleep, you can sleep a little longer. If you go to the toilet and go east, there are few people in the carriage. If you are hungry, let's go to the dining car to have some porridge."

Zhuo Lin looked at the time, then at the bustling carriage, and shook her head: "Let's talk about it at noon, it's hard to fall asleep right now."

People in southern Henan like to drink porridge in the morning, because after a night's sleep, their mouths and mouths will feel dry, so they must drink some watery soup, so that they can feel that a good day has begun.

Zhuo Lin folded the quilt, went down with her shoes, squatted on the ground and put on the cotton shoes, took the toothbrush, toothbrush and towel from her brother and went to the toilet. There was a pool there. It's too much, and there are two toilets on the left and right, and it's her turn after a long queue.

I went to the toilet first, put the toiletries in the cloth bag, and the cloth bag was hung in the toilet. When I came out, I could go directly to the water room to wash up.

This train is a green leather train that is about to be eliminated in later generations, but it is considered a pretty good high-quality train in this era, so the toilet has water and the berth is clean, so I don't think it is so rare.

In the 70s, most people didn’t have the habit of brushing their teeth. Even in sleepers, it was rare to see someone coming to wash with a toothbrush and toothbrush. Most of them washed their face with their hands, and at most rinsed their mouths, even saving towels.

Zhuo Lin also felt that this was in line with the current situation. If she and Tao Yi hadn't corrected some living habits of the Zhuo family these years, no one would be able to insist on brushing their teeth in the morning and evening. Therefore, when she was old, other old people would When she wears dentures, or cannot eat good food because of her bad mouth, her teeth are designated very well.

After Zhuo Lin washed up, the siblings went to the dining car together with the aluminum lunch box. There were not many people coming to the dining car to eat, and most of them took their stuff and went to the sleeper to eat. As for the hard seats, there were few Few people come here.

Zhuo Lin served a bowl of millet porridge, and Tao Yi served a bowl of Hu spicy soup. They brought scallion pancakes and tea eggs, took them out and soaked them in the bowls. Money, millet porridge costs five cents, and hot pepper soup has a lot of ingredients, fifteen cents, because it is on the train, so it is five cents more expensive, which is still affordable.

The two returned to the sleeper berth after eating in the dining car. There was no place to move around, and the lower berth was too embarrassing to sit on. Fortunately, they got a seat by the window, and spread a piece of backgammon oiled paper on the small table. The two of them fought back and forth. Come to think of it, this chessboard was made by Tao Yi himself, just to pass the time on the train.

Zhuo Lin, who was too focused, didn't notice that there was someone walking back and forth four times next to the two of them. Tao Yi was the first to notice something was wrong, but he didn't reveal anything until the man in leather shoes stood up. In front of the two of them, when Tao Yi had no choice but to look up, his eyes met, and the face of the man opposite him changed from hesitation to surprise in only three or four seconds.

"It's really you? Tao Yi?" The middle-aged man was a little excited and clasped his shoulders.

Tao Yi frowned: "I'm sorry comrade, you must have admitted the wrong person."

"Impossible. Tang Chen already told me that I saw you in the capital. This is the first car from the capital. It must be you, right?"

Tao Yi stared intently at the middle-aged man, paused every word, with a solemn expression: "I don't know you, let go!"

"I'm dad, you see clearly, I'm your dad!"

No matter how excited the middle-aged man was, Tao Yi never recognized him from the beginning to the end.

"I said, I don't know you, if you do this again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Tao Yi didn't want to admit it, and it didn't mean that other people cooperated with him. Except for Zhuo Lin who was always silent, the other passengers who watched the bustle carefully compared the faces of the two people, and said one after another: "My child, you look very good with him. Yes, it does look like your father."

Tao Yi turned his head coldly, angrily angrily.

"My dad died ten years ago, how could he be my dad? You don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense!"

Tao Jianguo had never been so embarrassed in his life. Looking at this face that looked almost like him, his heart was in pain. It was obvious that fate arranged for them to meet, but this son seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He treated him like an enemy. In order to get closer to his son, he even exchanged his lower berth to the man in the middle berth of their row. The man readily agreed and left with his belongings.
