Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 366 Chapter 365 Autumn Outing
September 1959, 9, the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Sunday, sunny.

Since Xiao Wang joined temporarily, he had to buy both the bus tickets and the platform tickets by himself. In order not to delay the trip, Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang got up at dawn.

In addition to the pickles packed by Zhang Guifang, classmate Xiao Wang also brought some snacks.

When passing by the entrance of the alley, Tang Zhitong used his space to scan and found that the spicy seeds on the branches in front of Liu Zhang's house had been cleaned up.

How does this work? Tang Zhitong didn't hesitate, picked up some more and put them on.

It may not be able to sting people, but it will definitely keep Liu Zhang busy for a while and prevent her from eating too much all day long and looking for trouble to everyone.

When the young couple arrived at Xizhimen Station, their classmates from the cable department had not yet arrived.

Tang Zhitong stored the bicycle and then accompanied Xiao Wang to buy tickets.

There were people queuing up, but the ticket window was not open. Tang Zhitong asked the station staff and they said it would be open soon.

Another ten minutes passed, and just when Tang Zhitong was eager to enter the station again to collect people, the ticket window opened.

The ticket is still a piece of cardboard, with a small slip of paper with the seat number written on it.

"That's great! Of course it's convenient. I'm worried about this matter. I still have the letter of introduction. I'll buy a ticket before driving." Luo Zhiping replied immediately without thinking about other aspects.

"The squad leader shouted this first. The squad leader said that when he was in the Sijiu City Bureau, others called him Teacher Tang and said he was training someone." Liu Changling explained to Wang Jingwen.

"This is my lover Wang Jingwen. She has been to Badaling before. She has a rest on Sunday, so I brought her over to take care of the girls. I didn't say hello to you beforehand. Is that convenient?" Tang Zhitong explained to Luo Zhiping.

After entering the station, Tang Zhitong introduced Wang Jingwen, Liu Changling and other classmates to each other, then ignored them and went to smoke with Lu Jian and others.

This kind of ticket looks very old, but it has a strong vitality. It was only before the millennium that it was replaced by a computer ticket with a red background the size of a business card. Many small stations were using cardboard tickets until the Olympic Games. Don't ask why, just ask. I printed too many at first...

After Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang bought their tickets, they waited for a while at the entrance and saw Luo Zhiping leading a group of more than 20 people on foot.

"No, we have already bought the tickets. Let's just ask everyone to check in and wait for the bus." Tang Zhitong grabbed Luo Zhiping and said.

"Who is this?" Luo Zhiping saw Wang Jingwen from a distance. She was so beautiful and conspicuous. He originally thought he was a passerby, but when he saw her following Tang Zhitong inseparably, he was a little confused.

A group of young college students, all of whom have reached the age where their hormones are overflowing, couldn't help but cast envious glances at Tang Zhitong when they applauded Wang Jingwen.

"Oh, he also met an acquaintance here." Wang Jingwen smiled. She naturally knew that Tang Zhitong was training people and earned two bicycle tickets and class fees at one time.

The distance from Xizhimen Station to Qinglongqiao Station is about 70 kilometers. Railway tickets are charged according to the kilometer and cost more than 40 cents for a round trip. Compared with other modes of travel, trains are very cost-effective.

"Teacher Tang, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to make it." Luo Zhiping was very happy after seeing Tang Zhitong and waved hello.

"Hello, Brother Lu, hello, Brother Dou." Wang Jingwen sent Tang Zhitong to report last time. Among his classmates, he only knew these two, so he nodded immediately.

Since Qinglongqiao Station is located in the suburbs of Beijing, the ticket window did not even ask for a letter of introduction. After asking about the demand, the ticket was directly given.

"Thank you everyone. My name is Wang Jingwen, and I am Tang Zhitong's lover. Thank you for taking care of our Tang Zhitong. I have been to Badaling before and know some historical allusions. If you don't mind, I will tell you about it later." Wang Jingwen said. Fang introduced himself decently, and after speaking, he did not forget to bow to his classmates from the cable department.

"Little Wang is here too?" Lu Jian and others came over and took the initiative to greet Wang Jingwen.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Tickets have been issued to everyone. We will check in and wait for the train in a moment. This is Teacher Tang's lover, Teacher Wang. Teacher Tang invited us to take care of the female students in our class. Everyone is welcome!" Luo Zhiping finished. Take the initiative to applaud.

"Why do you call him Teacher Tang?" After a while, Wang Jingwen mingled with Liu Changling and others and asked curiously.

"You came here in advance, so you have to worry about the squad leader." Tang Zhitong greeted Luo Zhiping.

Because they arrived earlier, the young couple lined up relatively early, and since this is a small station with limited lines and easy to calculate prices, the tickets were issued quickly, and the young couple bought the tickets in a short time.

"Teacher Wang, where do you work?" Liu Changling saw that Wang Jingwen's dress, temperament, and speech did not look like a housewife, so she asked in the general direction.

"I'm in Beitu, not far from your college. Come and hang out with me when you have free time. The collection of books there is relatively complete. It's good to go and read during the holidays. Also, don't call me Teacher Wang, if you don't mind. , please call me sister." Wang Jingwen invited generously. She hopes to have a good relationship with her husband's female classmate, so she can rest assured that she has many informants.

"Sister Wang." Maybe some of the college students are older than Wang Jingwen, but married people look more mature than young college students. Coupled with the height advantage, Liu Changling and others had no objection at all, and changed their words quickly. .

"Hey! I can't let you shout in vain, come, eat pine nuts." Last time Tang Zhitong brought back two sacks of nuts from the Northeast. Although he divided some and ate some himself, there was still a lot left. In order to make a good relationship with her husband, Female classmate Wang Jingwen did not spare any effort this time.

What men do to tobacco and alcohol, women do to snacks and gossip, they are all good catalysts.

After getting on the bus, Wang Jingwen, Liu Changling and others chatted non-stop.

Tang Zhitong did not rush Wang Jingwen, nor did he change Wang Jingwen's seat, because the seven girls sat together, occupying six seats facing each other.

Now that Wang Jingwen has sat down, there is no need to change her seat, because the journey is not long and she will get off at the station in a short while.

The tickets Luo Zhiping bought this time were all round-trip tickets, and the seats were concentrated in one carriage. Everyone was busy and looked at the scenery outside the window in wonder.

After the train started "Woo-Woo", it went all the way north, passing Beihang University, Qingda University, Old Summer Palace, Qinghe, Shahe, Changping and arriving at Nankou Station.

Starting from the south entrance, we entered the mountainous area. Looking to both sides, we saw mountains. The further we went in, the denser the woods became. "Let's not chat for now, we have to get down to business." Wang Jingwen saw that she had reached the south entrance, clapped her hands and stood up.

"What's the business?" Liu Changling was confused and thought she was coming to live.

"My business is to explain. I can't attend your autumn outing in vain, can I? I have to contribute anyway." Wang Jingwen, Liu Changling and others smiled, and first went to Tang Zhitong at the junction of the carriages to ask for a kettle, and drank some water to moisten themselves. My throat, I talked a little too much just now, and my throat is dry.

"I see you guys are very chatty." Tang Zhitong took the kettle, screwed on the lid, and joked.

"That's right, I will have an informant by your side in the future, so don't make any mistakes, Teacher Tang." Wang Jingwen said with a smile and a quiet voice.

"Welcome to supervise and promise not to make mistakes." Tang Zhitong happily agreed. Although he liked some sports, it was only with classmate Xiao Wang. As for other people, he had never thought about it.

"I'm going to explain it to you later, and I'd like to ask Teacher Tang for your advice." Xiao Wang poked at Tang Zhitong and said.

"Okay, don't get tired. We'll stop when we get tired." Tang Zhitong saw the eagerness to try on Xiao Wang's face, so naturally he wouldn't object.

"Okay." Xiao Wang nodded in agreement, his eyes smiling like crescents.

After a while, the train sounded its whistle and headed towards Juyongguan.

"Hello everyone, I'm here to be a temporary commentator. Do you have any objections?" After the train started, classmate Xiao Wang walked into the carriage and clapped his hands and asked.

"No objection, welcome!" Liu Changling and other girls took the lead in applauding, and other boys followed suit.

"Thank you for your encouragement. Do you know what the route we are taking now is called?" Wang Jingwen started the interaction in the form of a question and answer session.

"I know, Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway!" Luo Zhiping, as a native of Sijiu City, knew something about this and raised his hand in reply.

"It's very good. It's the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. This is China's first railway designed and put into operation by the Chinese without using foreign funds and personnel. Does anyone know who the chief engineer is?" Wang Jingwen gave a brief introduction and then asked .

"Zhan Tianyou!" More students knew this time.

"Yes, Zhan Tianyou, there is a bronze statue of him at Qinglongqiao Station. We will be able to see it when we get off the bus later. Starting from the Nankou Station where we just stopped, the terrain climbs very fast, and a locomotive cannot pull it, so we are here A locomotive is added to the rear of the car, and the front section of the road is driven forward by pulling forward and pushing back." Wang Jingwen talked based on the explanation he had heard before.

"Except for the south entrance, the mountain road near Badaling is even steeper, and the gradient rises very quickly. Both front wheels cannot pull the car. In order to solve this problem, what design did Chief Engineer Zhan adopt?" Wang Jingwen asked again.

"Herringbone!" Some students rushed to answer.

"Yes, the herringbone. You can see it after getting off the bus at Qinglongqiao Station." Wang Jingwen extended her thumbs up and gave a thumbs up to the students who answered.

Tang Zhitong was smoking a cigarette at the junction of the carriages. It was quite fun to watch Wang Jingwen act as a tour guide for his classmates as if coaxing a child.

"Everyone knows that the Great Wall starts from Shanhaiguan in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in the west. It winds for 12,000 miles from east to west. There are many passes along the road, and the Juyong Pass we will pass by in a moment is one of them. Juyong Pass has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Juyongguan, which must be fought over, actually has two entrances, the south entrance is called Nankou, and the north entrance is called Badaling. In the middle of the two entrances is a mountain stream valley that is more than ten kilometers long, commonly known as Guangou. "

"Everyone can look out the window. What we are walking through now is Guangou. The mountain flowers and wild grass on the hills on both sides are lush and lush, like green waves, weaving into a beautiful picture. This is one of the famous eight sceneries of Yanjing. ——Juyong is full of greenery..." Wang Jingwen spoke in front of a group of serious college students without any stage fright.

From Nankou to Badaling, the train also stops at Juyongguan.

Many students sitting on the right side of the carriage did not see the Juyong Pass when they passed it. At this time, they wanted to go out and take a look to see if they could still see it. Of course, Mao couldn't see it, and it was all blocked by trees and mountains. .

"Students, please take out your own water cups and ask the flight attendants to get water. There will be no free boiled water after you get off the bus." Tang Zhitong explained the situation to the flight attendant before the bus arrived at the station and asked for hot water to be provided to the students. water.

There is one more stop to go to Badaling. If you want to drink hot water after you get there, you will have to pay for it, but it is provided for free on the train. This wool will not be white or dry...

After the train started again, classmate Xiao Wang told local folk stories according to the local mountain names and mountain shapes, such as the statue of Wulang, the shadow of Liulang, Mu Guiying's Dianjiangtai, Tanqin Gorge, etc. This was the first time for Tang Zhitong to hear it. He said, like everyone else, he listened with great interest.

One carriage can seat more than a hundred passengers. The other passengers who sat in the same carriage as the cable department students took advantage of the opportunity and listened to the free explanations along the way. The students behind them applauded Wang Jingwen. The atmosphere was very lively.

After the train arrived at Badaling, Luo Zhiping asked everyone to drink the water in the water glasses and get off the station.

After leaving the station, everyone visited the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou and saw the zigzag railway before starting to line up to Badaling.

The Badaling Great Wall is one kilometer northwest of Qinglongqiao Station. Compared with other attractions, this is the most convenient tourist attraction. What's more important is that the Badaling Great Wall now does not charge tickets!
Lining up, singing songs, everyone walked on the trail in high spirits.

When he arrived at Badaling, Tang Zhitong was dumbfounded. How could this devastated place look like a tourist attraction?

The bricks in the city wall were all pried off so quickly!
Despite this, other students are also very interested in the dilapidated Great Wall. Some are talking about the blue sky, some are researching which dynasty the city wall bricks were fired, some are graffitiing someone who visited this place, and some are looking for someone to carry someone behind them. To urinate in the corner...

Although Badaling is a bit dilapidated, the name is there, and there are many tourists taking the same train to visit. As soon as there are more people, Luo Zhiping starts to worry, running back and forth for fear of getting separated and lost.

Regarding the dilapidated appearance of the Great Wall, Xiao Wang has nothing to explain. After going to Juyong Pass to drink water with Tang Zhitong once, she ignored him again. Now she is leading her new little sisters to climb up together. From time to time, there are Bursts of laughter.

"Monitor, let's move in dormitories as a unit. The first two boys' dormitories will start, and the girls' dormitories in the middle will be postponed. We gather at a beacon tower, and those who go early should wait." Tang Zhitong watched Luo Zhiping running forward and backward. It was not an option, so he suggested.

"Okay, I'll talk to them." Luo Zhiping was tired of running and thought there was no better way, so he happily accepted.

"Remind them to put on clothes, the beacon tower is not warm." Tang Zhitong kindly reminded them that not only was the beacon tower not warm, there was also a lot of excrement inside...
