Hard times have room

Chapter 974 The Train
Then Xu Rui entered the study of sleepless nights, even sitting on the bed in the dormitory at night, covered with a quilt, and did not put down the book.

She knew that there was not much time left for herself. If she didn't work hard, with the knowledge she had now, she would definitely fail the exam.

This entire semester, she didn't know what she was talking about. She didn't listen to the knowledge points that the teacher explained in class. Even the homework assigned by the teacher was perfunctory. It was copied.

At first she copied Pauline's, but later Pauline refused to copy it for her and asked her to do it herself, so she and Pauline had an awkward fight for several days.

Later, she asked roommates like Li Hong or Lin Sisi to copy homework. In short, this semester, she didn't really study anything seriously, and just passed it by.

Compared to Xu Rui, Baolin is much more relaxed. She is not under a lot of pressure, and she is stable for a final exam.

Her grades in the class are firmly in the top ten. In the second semester of her freshman year, her final exam rank was No.5 in the class. Compared with the last time, she has improved by two ranks.

One week before the final exam, Pauline went to that alley again and bought 33 eggs very smoothly. Now the number of eggs in her space has reached [-], which is enough for her to make for a long time up.

When she gets home, she must put dozens of hard-boiled eggs in the space and peel the shells well. In this way, when she gets hungry at night, she can hide under the covers and eat eggs.

In addition to eggs, she also sold four catties of old ginger for fifty cents. She planned to prepare some ginger syrup in the space, so she bought old ginger here in advance.

On the day of the final exam, it snowed heavily in school. Pauline and the others ran to the cafeteria with a book on their heads.

The snow falling on the shoulders, standing at the door of the cafeteria, patted each other, and it all fell off.

After eating a bowl of hot noodles, the whole person warmed up.

It's not far from the cafeteria to the teaching building, so many people chose to rush over directly, and Pauline was one of them, but she just fell down. Fortunately, it was not serious at all, but her butt felt a little numb.

During the exam, time always passed quickly, and three days passed in a flash. Although the exam was over on the morning of the third day, Pauline did not rush to the train station non-stop like last year. ticket home.

On the second day after the exam, Pauline went to the train station with her luggage. This time she even omitted the link of buying tickets in advance. If it is late, then buy a ticket for the next day. She can take the bus back to school with her luggage and come back the next day.

This year, she was one of the last people to leave the dormitory. When she packed her luggage, she had deliberately streamlined it. A big sack and a school bag were added. The sack was not very heavy. Inside was her clothes, mosquito net and foam. After she took the sack to the guest house, she could change the quilt back.

At the ticket office of the railway station, Baolin bought the train ticket back to Jiangning County at 09:30, but now it is only 08:30, it is still very early, and she needs to wait for an hour at the train station.

She was able to buy the ticket in time, thanks to the fact that she woke up early today, took her luggage directly to the cafeteria for breakfast, and finally packed two eggs and six meat buns. Time for lunch.

The box lunches on the train were very expensive, and Pauline didn't plan to buy food on the train, so she packed them in the school cafeteria in advance.

At the ticket office, Pauline also asked about the sleeper berth, and the conductor told her directly that if you want to buy a hard berth, you must either be an elderly person or have a relationship with your work unit. Like her, it’s really impossible to buy a hard berth. .

As for the soft sleeper, the requirements are even higher. The soft sleeper must reach a certain level to buy, or it is a foreigner who comes to China. For them, there is no restriction on the seat on the train.

Of course, very few people buy a sleeper ticket when they are on a business trip. At this time, they can enjoy the sleeper standard, while those who only buy a seat ticket, the difference in the travel expenses can be used as a personal subsidy. In this age when life is not rich, many People on business trips can save as much as they can.

Taking the train on a snowy day is also a special flavor, but it is too cold.

At the beginning, when I looked around, it was all white, only occasionally there were some different colors in some places. At that time, Pauline was still looking at the scenery outside the window with great interest, and her eyes were a little sore behind her, so she turned her gaze back to the window. in the car.

There were not many people in the train, there were quite a few people dressed as students like Pauline, and many people got on and off the train every time it stopped.

When Baolin went to fetch hot water, she accidentally saw an old acquaintance, a high school classmate, Zheng Yuehong, who was studying in a technical secondary school in Shonan City.

"Bao Lin, it's really you. I didn't dare to admit it just now." Zheng Yuehong was also very happy. After all, I met a high school classmate on the train.

The two didn't meet much in the three years of high school, so even if they are studying in the same city now, they don't have much contact.

"It's me. I didn't expect you to be on this train. The two of us are destined." Pauline said with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

It was a surprise to meet an old classmate on the train.

The two immediately sat together, and Zheng Yuehong took her schoolbag directly to Baolin's side. She had very few things, so she packed lightly, so she brought a bag with some food in it.

There weren't many people on the train, so even if Zheng Yuehong changed seats, it didn't cause any controversy.

With acquaintances, the following journey will be much more interesting, at least someone can chat with me.

By the time the train stopped in Jiangning County, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the sky in Jiangning County was already very dark, and it would be completely dark in less than half an hour.

Baolin and Zheng Yuehong walked out of the train station together, outside, Zheng Yuehong's brother was already waiting.

Seeing someone, Zheng Yuehong rushed over directly. The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for several months, and it was inevitable to miss them.

Seeing this scene, Pauline was so envious. In this life, her parents gave birth to her, and there were no brothers or sisters with her own hands.

In her previous life, her parents who divorced and started their own families gave her many half-brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, she only heard about it from her relatives and never saw it.
