Chapter 412 Don't Believe Those People (Alone, One Room, Happy Birthday to myself)

The eldest sister shook the 100 yuan in her hand and said with a smile, "I have enough work for him today."

In this era, the people who sell things on the train are basically railway workers, unlike the later generations who are basically contracted out to sell things.These workers have tasks.

"Brother, buy some water, how about poker? There are also checkers, chess, mahjong, military chess, peanuts, melon seeds, beer, what do you want?" He introduced to Xiaowei painfully.

Xiaohong asked: "And mahjong? How can I play it in the car?"

The salesperson said: "Small ones, smaller than military chess, and magnetically attracted, or not?" In 91, the wind of mahjong had already landed in the Northeast.The national mahjong activity of Northeast people started around 90s.

It used to exist, but it was not so popular, it seemed that the whole people became numb overnight.But the difference from the south is that you have to play secretly and block the windows. The police have special people who are around to listen to the sound.

Xiaohong shook her head and said, "Take a bag of peanuts, two bottles of beer, and three bottles of water."

The salesperson immediately cheered up: "Okay." He took the things out of the car, looked for no place to put them, and put them directly on the bunk. "21, give me twenty." Xiaowei gave the money, and Xiaohong said, "Why is the thing in the car so expensive? The money in the car is not considered money anymore."

The lady who sells breakfast said with a smile: "The things in the car must be expensive. It is more laborious to get them up and make them better than outside. Besides, you can eat in the car several times a year, can't you?"

The dining car is ready: "It's breakfast, millet porridge with boiled eggs, I just bought eight servings here, I'm hungry if I don't eat, big steamed buns are white and sweet, the bread is oily, and it smells delicious after a bite .It's breakfast." Pushing the dining car away.

The buddy selling department stores took Xiaowei's money and went in the opposite direction.

Xiaohong pushed Xiaowei and said, "Go ask them to eat, it will be cold in a while."

She sat inside and couldn't see the aisle, Xiaowei said with a smile: "You still need us to shout, this eldest sister's voice is more useful than ours."

Chen Hui rubbed his eyes and appeared in front of Xiao Hong. Xia Maosheng and Geng Hui followed behind him with towels and toothbrushes.Xiaohong said, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face." Chen Hui's face twitched, but he turned around anyway, and Xiaohong told Geng Hui to sit inside and eat.

Sure enough, eight servings were just right, each of Xiaohong and Genghui had one serving, and Xiaowei and the three of them all ate two servings.Then Chen Hui discovered beer, took the peanuts, and Xia Maosheng each chewed peanuts and drank a bottle of beer.

Xiaowei cleaned up, picked up the lunch box and threw it into the trash can at the front of the carriage.

When I came back again, there was an extra man sitting there on the bunk. He was in his forties with a parted hair.

Xiaowei glanced at him and sat down beside Xiaohong.

This uncle is on the upper bunk, and he didn't pay attention to when he got on the car. He was eating an egg at the moment.

In this day and age, if you take the train, you have to spend a lot of money to eat in the dining car, but there are really few people who are willing to do it, and they don’t have the financial ability, or they bring it by themselves.Biscuits, old-fashioned cakes, old-fashioned bread, and two sausages to carry a pot of water, this is considered a relatively high standard of living.There are also those with lunch boxes. The cooked meals are packed in the lunch boxes and wrapped in plastic cloth on the back of the car.

The most common one is boiled eggs, which are convenient, easy to carry, not afraid of squeezing and have enough nutrition.

At that time, when I took a long-distance train and arrived at the meal time, the boiled eggs filled with water in the compartment smelled like eggs.

As for instant noodles, it is considered a high-consumption food in this era. Families with relatively good living conditions will occasionally buy a few bags for their children to satisfy their cravings. They have not yet entered the train menu.Besides, instant noodles in this era are all in bags and cannot be soaked.It was after 1995 that instant noodles became a popular food, and it was not until 1998 that they were put in barrels.

The instant noodles on the train are basically the scene after 2000.

Xiaohong and Geng Hui were sitting on the bunk looking out the window and talking, Xia Maosheng and Chen Hui were sitting across from them, chewing peanuts and sipping beer, the uncle was peeling an egg and talking to Xiaowei who was sitting opposite him, "Xiao Brother, are you going home or are you visiting relatives?" Not to mention tourism, in those days the word was pure and lofty, and the concept did not exist in ordinary people's lives.

Xiaowei looked at the half-plastic bag of boiled eggs that the uncle put on his lap. It looked like there were more than two dozen of them. He had already eaten three or four at the moment, and it seemed that he planned to eat enough eggs. "Go to see my brother, you are here, just eat eggs? Didn't you bring anything else?"

The uncle smiled and stuffed two bites of the peeled eggs into his mouth, took a sip of water from the old green marching kettle and swallowed, saying: "Eggs are not good? They are nutritious and hungry, and they save money. They are all made at home." Yes. Where is your brother?"

Xiaowei said: "Xingcheng." He glanced at the egg skins thrown all over the floor.

The uncle shook the egg skins and egg yolks scattered on his legs to the ground, clapped his hands, tied the bag and put it on the corner of the ladder, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and said, "Xingcheng? Why did you go to that place?" I know it well over there, it’s not a big place, and the population is not too big, it turned out that it was under Chagan’s management for a while, and then it was transferred back to Dongmeng, what is your brother doing there?”

Xiaowei watched the uncle take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and said, "Isn't smoking prohibited in the carriage?"

The uncle smiled disdainfully, showing the egg yolk on his teeth, and while taking out the lighter from his pocket, he said: "No one cares, it's just to scare you people who don't often drive, like us who run in the car all the year round. Who cares about this, smoking is not allowed, why not? Right? "

Xiaowei said: "Don't smoke here, go to the front of the carriage to smoke."

The uncle looked at Xiaowei in a daze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaowei pointed to Geng Hui and said, "My friend is pregnant."

The uncle looked at Geng Hui, waved his hand holding the lighter and said: "It's okay, I didn't smoke before my wife was pregnant, and the child was alive and kicking, and they are all in high school now, don't believe those, it's useless. "

As he spoke, he lighted the fire and moved the smoke from his mouth.Xiaowei stretched out his hand to take the cigarette out of his mouth and said, "Uncle, if you don't believe us, if you want to smoke, go over there and don't smoke here, okay? Pass the cigarette back.

The uncle took the cigarette handed back by Xiaowei, his face was a little uneasy, he stood up and walked out, saying: "Now this young man is lawless, has no rules, and cares a lot about other things." He walked forward for a few minutes while muttering. Stepping forward, he lit his cigarette and sat down on the side seat.

Fortunately, he was walking in the opposite direction to the direction of the train. The wind blew backwards, and the smoke went backwards with the wind. A few people over there frowned and stuck their heads out to see that there was no sound.

The conductor came out of his hut sleepily, and stretched his waist. This buddy has been sleeping except in the middle of the station until he opened the door. The female conductor in the next section is much more diligent than him.

After washing his face, he threw his hat on a bunk. He took a broom and started sweeping the floor. He didn't even look at the smokers.
