Chapter 246 Closing down sooner or later

Yu Qing was woken up by a ringing bell, and in a daze, she heard the news on the radio that she would arrive at Yancheng Station in 10 minutes.

Is this halfway done?

Yu Qing raised her wrist to check the time, only to realize that the lights in the carriage were too dim to see clearly.Estimate the time in my mind, the train at [-] o'clock, halfway through, and at least five hours, it will be more than one o'clock in the morning.

Unable to fall asleep for a while, she got up gently and got out of the car. The lights in the aisle were much brighter. She looked at the time, and it was almost 01:30.

Yu Qing wanted to go to the toilet, she could find toilets on any side of the carriage, she chose one at random, although it was already April, but the cold wind blowing in from the window at night was still a bit cold.

Yu Qing tightened her clothes, and when she passed the corner of the aisle, she accidentally squatted down a man smoking a cigarette.

The air was filled with smoke, which made her cough a few times, and it was these coughs that woke up the man who was in a daze.

Yu Qing didn't look back and left quickly.

So she didn't notice the flash of amazement in the man's eyes just now, and narrowed her eyes slightly looking at her background.

When Yu Qing came back after going to the toilet, she passed the corner of the aisle. The man had left just now, but the unpleasant smell of cigarettes was still in the air.

She fanned her nose annoyedly, and quickly left the suffocating space, returning to the carriage she still seemed to be able to smell the lingering smell of smoke.

The eldest sister in the lower berth had already woken up. When she saw Yu Qing coming in, she asked, "Girl, are you going to the bathroom now?"

Yu Qing responded softly, "Yes."

The elder sister got up and put on her shoes, "Then I'll go to the toilet too, girl, help me look after my luggage."

Yu Qing was a little reluctant, "Sister, do you have any valuables in your luggage? If you have valuables, you'd better take them with you."

"No." The eldest sister smiled: "It's just some clothes and food."

The two men who the elder sister left the upper bunk also woke up.

"Do you want to turn on the light?" Yu Qing asked the two of them.

"Then please turn on the light, girl, I'm already awake anyway." The man on Yu Qing's upper bunk said.

When the light is turned on, it is a bit dazzling.

Yu Qing sat back on her bed, wanted to drink water but the water in her tea mug was already cold, and the elder sister hadn't returned to the bathroom yet, she promised to help her with her luggage, and it was not good to leave at this time.

I could only bear to take a sip of cold water, and once the water entered my throat, my head, which was a little drowsy due to lack of sleep, became more awake.

Sitting bored, she took out the fried melon seeds that Grandma Ruan helped her pack from her luggage, and she glanced at the middle-aged uncle on the upper bunk opposite.

"I have melon seeds here, do you want to eat them?"

"Thanks, you can eat by yourself." The middle-aged man thanked her and smiled at her.

Yu Qing nodded to him and started smoking alone.

The eldest sister came back soon, and she yelled as soon as she entered the door: "Oh! What a wicked person, a machete, smokes in the aisle. I have been stained with smoke all the way from this aisle. It's really disgusting."

As she spoke, she also smelled the clothes on her body.

Sitting down on her own bed, she frowned and said to Yu Qing, "I smelled the smoke on your body as soon as you entered the carriage. I didn't expect that I would also smell it after I went there."

Yu Qing sniffed her clothes, it was still a little bit, and it was almost gone.

"Sister, do you want melon seeds?" I pushed the bag of melon seeds towards the middle of the table.

"Oh, I can have this, thank you, little sister. You said it's so boring to take the train, why didn't I think of packing melon seeds on the train?"

The eldest sister grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them. When there were melon seeds, she was called a little girl instead of a girl.

While talking, he introduced himself, "My surname is Chen, and my name is Da Niu. You can just call me Big Sister Chen. I will get off at Yicheng later. Where do you get off at, little girl?"

"same here."

"We are still fellow villagers." Sister Chen grinned happily when she heard this, and instantly felt a lot closer to this girl, and she directly used Yicheng dialect when they talked.

"No, I think your father is from the provincial city, but why are you from Yicheng? Can you still speak the dialect here?"

Yu Qing smiled slightly: "I grew up here."

Sister Chen understood that Yu Qing grew up with her grandparents in Yicheng. After all, in this era, many people work and leave their children to their grandparents in the countryside because they have no time to take care of them.

"Oh, no wonder."

Sister Chen then asked the two gay men on the upper bunk, "Where are you two going?"

"I'm going to Pingshi."

"I want to go farther, to Yangcheng."

"It is true that you are the farthest, and you have reached the terminal." Sister Chen nodded.

Besides, there is nothing to talk about with gay men, so she should chat more with this girl to pass the boring time in the carriage.

The middle-aged uncle smiled wryly, "I can't help it. I can't live in my hometown. I want to go to Yangcheng and give it a try. Maybe I can turn my bicycle into a motorcycle."

It's not easy for Yu Qing to ask other people's private affairs, so she just laughed and joked: "Uncle, you are really humorous."

Sister Chen didn’t have this self-awareness, and her gossiping heart hung up, “What did you say? Why can’t you get along in your hometown? People are far away from their hometown, and they can’t live in their own hometown. Familiar foreign places can survive?"

The middle-aged uncle didn't have any embarrassment, he said: "The efficiency in the factory is not good, so I have to be laid off."

Sister Chen asked in amazement: "If the efficiency is not good, I will be laid off? Then our factory has not been profitable in the past few years. Is it possible that I am not far from being laid off?"

After hearing this, Yu Qing was curious about what unit the eldest sister was in, so she asked, "What unit do you work in, eldest sister?"

"It's from the Yicheng Linen Mill."

Yu Qing swallowed her saliva. It is safe to be laid off in the future. Yicheng is not a place where hemp and cotton are produced. The raw materials of the hemp spinning factory are all transported from other places, and the cost is increased. There is no competitiveness in the market, and it will only close down sooner or later. thing.

Seeing that Yu Qing had stopped talking, Eldest Sister Chen said, "Little sister also thinks that sister will be laid off?"

Yu Qing glanced at the uncle on the upper bunk, saw that he was just looking at her with a smile, and had no intention of speaking, so she swallowed and said, "Your factory is not competitive in the market, and it's only a matter of time before it is eliminated."

Sister Chen was hit hard physically and mentally. How will the family support her family when she is laid off?

She asked unwillingly: "Then what unit are you in, little girl?"

"My work unit is in the corner of the mountain."

"What kind of unit is that? Will it be built in a corner of the mountain?"

"Hydroelectric power station."

The middle-aged uncle said at this time: "Your unit is not bad, at least you don't have to worry about being laid off when you retire."

Yu Qing nodded. Electricity will be indispensable for the construction and development of cities in the future, and hydropower is more environmentally friendly than thermal power plants.

This heavy topic was revealed, and Sister Chen was envious, and immediately felt that the melon seeds in her hand were no longer fragrant.

Several people chatted without saying a word, and felt that the time was not so difficult!
