Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 245, travel

PS: Some people are asking why we wrote this plot, mainly around the Forty-Nine City. There are some plots that we don’t dare to write, so we will write them in another place.And after escaping from the famine over there, there will always be some relatives at home. This is the root.

……

Yang Xiaole rode his bicycle to the train station without looking for Director Liu.

Instead, I went to the ticket window to inquire.

Sure enough, as he knew before, the train only goes to He N's Faith, and from there the train goes to Fei Shi. The rest of the train stations are not clear.

Jinzhai is located between Xinyang and Feishi.

There is no train from Xinyang to Jinzhai area, so we have to go to Feishi and then think of a solution.

Nowadays, unlike later generations, there are maps and navigations where everything can be found. Not to mention that people here don’t know each other. Even people in a city may not know where their home is. You can only go there and then go there slowly. asked.

16.8 yuan per ticket.

Quite expensive.

After thinking about it, I asked about the time and it actually took 2 and a half days.

After such a long time, I thought about it and decided to buy two sleepers.

29 yuan, 5 cents and 6 cents each.

Yang Xiaole bought two tickets directly.

But these two tickets are not for the eldest brother, one of them is for him, and he plans to go and have a look.

There are mainly several reasons.

The first is that he is not at ease. You have to know that there is a national supply in Sijiu City, so the situation here will be much better. But in other places, he has heard that people will eat anything even if they are extremely hungry.

Including ren...

The second is that he has nothing to do at school.

Another factor is that he wants to visit Fei City.

Changqing Orphanage was an orphanage that was established not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He wanted to visit it.

"You are really lucky. The last two sleeper berths are given to you."

The conductor took the money, handed him the two tickets with a smile, and said something in passing.

I looked at the ticket and saw that the bus was at four in the afternoon.

It says below: Valid within 6 days.

After questioning him, it became clear.

The tickets at this time were not like those in later generations. They corresponded to which train they were traveling on, and if they missed it, it would be a waste.

It's different this time.

The train on the ticket is part of the ticket. If you miss it, you can take the bus to Xinyang within 6 days, but there are no seats. It is equivalent to a standing ticket.

I bought my ticket and left immediately.

Instead of going home, he went directly to his eldest brother

When I got home, my father and mother were at home, and everyone else was in the house.

"Have you bought the tickets? What time is it?"

"Well, there are fewer people riding in the car now, so it's easy to buy. Mom, please pack up the car at four o'clock in the afternoon, get the certificate, and go and exchange the national food stamps."

Wang Qiuju nodded lightly and stood up: "Go find your brother and ask him to take a few days off to come with me!"

Yang Xiaole waved the ticket in his hand and smiled at him: "I'll go with you. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I miss some classes. Brother, let him go to work. Don't you two get lost then."

"This... you are too young, and it is important for you to study."

"It's okay, that's it. Let's go. I'll take you to get a certificate and exchange for food stamps. Hurry up. Don't waste time."

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju looked at Yang Guangzhi.

It's still up to him to make the decision.

When Yang Guangzhi heard this, he thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded: "Let Xiao Le go, this kid is smart."

After saying that, she looked at him: "Xiao Le, your mother has never left the house except for the last time she fled to Kyoto. The same goes for you. Ask more after you go."

Yang Xiaole nodded upon hearing this.

"I know! It's like you've been on a long trip."

When Yang Guangzhi heard this, he glared at him.

Then the two of them rode to the supply and marketing cooperative to explain the situation, issued a certificate, and then went to the subdistrict office to get a stamp stamped.

In fact, once you have a family visit certificate, it won't be a big problem. Anyway, most of the current certificates are for rural people.

Not big for the city.

With this thing, you can live in a guest house and do things more conveniently.

It just so happens that his certificate also needs to be opened on the street.

Go to the grain station with your certificate, food stamps, and gas stamps.

The local food stamps of 18 kilograms and 3 taels, plus the gas stamps of 18 liang and 3 yuan were exchanged for the national food stamps of [-] kilograms and [-] taels.

This is a ten-day quota for two people and needs to be deducted from the quota.

Of course, if you go to the local grain station with the certificate, you can exchange it back at the same ratio.

Very few people do this.

Wang Qiuju watched her son go through the procedures with ease. Although he had to ask questions all the way, he was not timid at all, and she immediately felt relieved.

When I got home, my eldest sister was cooking pancakes.

A pile of ready-made pancakes were already placed next to it.

When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and eat! It's already past dinner time."

Yang Xiaole touched his forehead and said helplessly: "Sister, I told you not to bring it with you. There are food sellers on the train, and it's not too cold today. They will all go rancid by then."

Hearing this, the eldest sister Nunu pointed at my mother: "Tell her, mother said, buying food is too expensive, let me make more and take you to eat on the road. Oh, by the way, Teacher Fang will be back at noon, I told him about your leave."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this: "Yes! That's good."

Then he looked at these pancakes and shook his head: "I won't eat them on this road. Even if they are not sour, they are still hard. How can I eat them?"

"Why can't you eat? I think you have eaten well. It was good if we could eat dry food every time before. But you still dislike this and that."

My mother took out some things from the house and put them in the main room. When she heard this, she yelled at him.

Yang Xiaole pouted.

Seeing her packing her things there, she asked curiously: "Mom, did dad tell you to go to their village to have a look? You can't be considered a return home in glory!"

After hearing this, I paused in packing my things.

After thinking about it, I went out directly.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this. He didn't eat the pancakes, but filled up a bowl of Yuqian rice and started eating it with fried Chinese cabbage.

Seeing that my mother was not there, she said to Yang Xiaomei: "Sister, don't be reluctant to eat the food at home. We will be back soon. I will prepare it when we get back. There are also eggs. Eat them secretly. Don't be reluctant to eat them. Do you hear me?"

The eldest sister smiled when she heard this and nodded to him: "Don't worry. I'll be sure to finish eating when you come back."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled.

In fact, the eldest sister has inherited my mother's picky personality, and she grew up in a rural area. It is unlikely that she will be able to eat without any scruples.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to explain.

It would be about the same if it were Xizi.It will be done in three to five days.

"Where's Jiang Yan? Has she gone back?"

Yang Xiaole looked around and asked her.

The eldest sister said while making pancakes: "She didn't go back. She went to the suburbs by herself. We made an appointment. The two of us will go there next time."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

As for Xizi and Xiaoli, they must have gone to play with the children in the courtyard.

After waiting for a while, my mother came back.

After coming in, he said: "There is an uncle on your father's side. I don't know if he is here anymore. Let's go and have a look."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Okay, let's eat first. There's a four o'clock train! Just go there an hour early." Wang Qiuju felt the same after thinking about it, and sat down to eat.

"Hey, by the way, you must keep that letter, it has an address on it!"

"I know, I can't throw it away."

After eating, my mother was there to clean up.

Looking for old clothes, old sheets, etc., and thinking about other things to bring.

Yang Xiaole looked at it and shook his head.

Well, this journey must have been quite difficult. He couldn't watch my mother take so many things!
After tidying up all afternoon, before three o'clock, the two of them were ready to go out and take the train.

As soon as I went out, I saw all the children in the courtyard coming back in great numbers.

Wang Xuewen and Wang Xuewu carried two full baskets, followed by their sister Wang Shanshan, and ran directly to Aunt Wang to show off.

"Grandma, look, we completed the task ahead of schedule. Look how many wild vegetables we dug!"

Aunt Wang was quite happy at first.

When he saw what was inside, he touched his forehead and said, "Oh my God, didn't you say you know wild vegetables? This is a wild grass. Is it edible?"

Wang Xuewu took a piece of wild grass and asked strangely: "Isn't this just a wild vegetable? Why is it grass? Look at how thick the meat is!!"

Aunt Wang shook her head when she saw this, "You fall to the ground, and I'll see what's edible later. Don't poison us to death."

Yang Xiaole took a look and couldn't help it.

Toad grass.

He couldn't remember the scientific name of the herbal medicine used to clear away heat and relieve inflammation. It was as bitter as coptis.

Not only him, but also the children in the compound were in the same situation.

At first glance, it seems that I have never dug wild vegetables.

"Qiu Ju! Are you going back to your hometown?"

Aunt Wang looked at the two people and asked.

Wang Qiuju nodded: "Well, something happened at home, go back and take a look!"

"Hey, don't be too sad. Go ahead and won't waste your time."

The people in the compound already basically knew about this matter.

Wang Qiuju nodded when she saw this, said hello and left directly.

The two of them left the compound and went directly to the bus stop in front of Baitasi Hospital and took a bus to the train station.

"I'm telling you, I want you to be early. If you insist on ink stains, the cars are here."

When we arrived at the train station, I started complaining.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole snickered. He knew the departure time, so there was no need to come so early. It would be better if he didn't get stuck!

He took her directly to the train.

At this time, the train station platform was bustling and very lively.

Yang Xiaole also felt strange for a while.

It looked like a team was setting off.

Ignoring this, I headed straight for the sleeper.

Wang Qiuju had never taken a train before, so she could only follow Yang Xiaole to the compartment.

When they arrived at the door of the berth, the other party collected the tickets and gave them the number of a bed.

"Xiao Le, did you buy the sleeper? How much does it cost?"

After Wang Qiuju came in, she realized that this was a sleeper car and asked anxiously.

Yang Xiaole looked for a bed and said, "Mom, I can't bear the hard seat even after two or three days of traveling."

"Then how much does this sleeper cost?"

"Don't worry about how much it costs. I bought everything and I can't return it. It's here, right here."

Yang Xiaole said as he came to the designated sleeper position.

There is no one in the berth at this time, only two people are here.

Wang Qiuju stood at the door of the sleeper berth and looked at the empty carriage. She felt distressed for a while: "Look, no one is sitting on it. You are the only one who insists on taking the sleeper berth."

"How is that possible? The ticket seller said these are the last two tickets for me. Mom, you sleep in the middle and I sleep on the top."

Yang Xiaole pointed to the upper, middle and lower beds and explained to her.

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju sighed. She had already bought everything, so this was the only way.

However, she was still worried and asked repeatedly about the price of the ticket.

When she found out that a ticket cost 28, Wang Qiuju started to calculate: "A ticket costs 28. If we take it back and forth, then it won't cost more than 100 yuan? Plus we have to change trains, hiss..."

After finishing the calculation, she took a breath and said, "Most of my salary for the year is gone. No, I'm not allowed to take the sleeper berth again when I come back."

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes.

ignore her.

I secretly checked the time and saw that there was not much time left before driving.

"Hey, I don't know how long it will take to get here!"

"I heard there are a lot of foreign devils over there?"

"Yes, the Canton Fair! They are all sold to foreigners."

……

While I was thinking, people began to come into the carriage one after another.

They all wore Chinese tunic suits with four pockets, and they all looked like cadres.

When Wang Qiuju saw this, she quickly stood up.

Yang Xiaole glanced at her and comforted her: "Mom, what are you afraid of? You are here to take the bus, why are you nervous?"

"Oh~~"

Wang Qiuju reacted, looked at the bed and said, "The lower bunk belongs to someone else. I'm afraid that people will tell me!"

While talking, three men and one woman came over.

A middle-aged man at the head saw this and smiled politely: "Comrade, you also belong to this car! We also belong to this shop!"

"Hey, hey, yes, yes. Let's take the car back to our hometown!"

"Oh! That's a good relationship. We all have a companion along the way."

Then I asked about the location of the bed.

Each sat down.

More than 30 women among them looked at Wang Qiuju and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be nervous. My name is Wang Hong. I work for a food company. This time I am going to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair. What are you doing?"

Wang Qiuju felt happy after hearing what the other party said.

After all, we are from the same company: "Hey, you are from a food company? Me too, but I am from a grocery store!"

"Hey, what a coincidence! Then we are all revolutionary comrades!"

Wang Qiuju smiled sheepishly when she heard this: "How can I compare with you? You are all big cadres!"

The man who had just spoken next to him took a sip of tea and smiled: "Hey, don't say that! Didn't Mao ** say that? There is only a division of labor in revolutionary work, and there is no distinction between high and low. They are all serving the people!"

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju just smiled and nodded.

Yang Xiaole heard a few people talking and reacted immediately.

Spring Canton Fair.

The Canton Fair, which has just been held for two years, is one of the important revenue sources of foreign trade every year. Major companies from all cities and provinces will send people there, and it is very lively.

Because the people you have to face are foreigners.

Everyone who goes there has been carefully selected. Except for those who specialize in the fields of translation and economics and trade, everyone else must have a solid foundation.

In their words, they are time-tested revolutionary fighters.
