Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 53 Arrival in Shanghai
"I didn't look." Zhou Quanying immediately denied it: "There's nothing."

Zhao Lihui glanced at her sister-in-law and said nothing more.

Wang Xiaoting just smiled.

Although Zhou Quanying couldn't beat Chen Xueru and Irina in poker, but with previous training, she still had an advantage against the two "newbies" Zhao Lihui and Wang Xiaoting.

Soon he was very happy and put all the previous little emotions behind him.

……

Xu Deyong accompanied Chen Xueru and Elena to a train meal, which cost "less than two yuan."

Alas, this is the first time I have contributed like this!

The meal lasted half an hour, plus going back and forth, the two girls spent an hour going to the toilet and so on.

When they returned to the sleeper car, Zhou Quanying and the three people who were playing cards were getting more and more familiar with the rules. They were in high spirits, and there were a few more spectators in the aisle.

When they saw the rightful owner coming back, they all consciously stopped fighting.

Of course, this pair of cards is not the only one in the carriage. This kind of game that looks simple, requires few people, and requires some skills to play, quickly aroused some people's interest.

Others try to play too.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but think to himself: "I am advancing the gameplay. I wonder what kind of rumors will happen in the future!"

……

The train moved "bang bang, bang bang", rushing into the darkness, and then broke through the darkness to welcome the dawn.

Rocking is like a cradle for Xu Deyong, which does not affect his sleep quality at all. He feels refreshed after opening his eyes.

However, for other women, it was a bit unfriendly. The narrow sleepers, coupled with the constant snoring in the carriage at night, generally made their sleep quality not very good.

Even though Xu Deyong carefully turned over and got out of bed, he still received Chen Xueru's irritated "eyes", and then turned inward, leaving Xu Deyong with the back of his head and his buttocks covered by the quilt.

Xu Deyong shrugged, looked around in the aisle, and found many people huddled and resting.

There seem to be more people!
Come on, honestly 'turn three times on the left and three times on the right, twist your neck and twist your butt'!

With a thought, today's blind box is opened.

"Snapped!"

A piece of white cloth appears in the blind box space.

Xu Deyong: "..."

enough!

For three days in a row, hunting knives, golden sore medicine, and now white cloth. Do you want to make a bandage or a shroud for yourself?
Well, this is too luxurious. A piece of white cloth costs almost ten yuan. I may be overthinking it.

Take this thing out slowly and let grandma make a quilt, or make underwear for yourself.

As the sun comes out, the people on the train seem to be waking up from hibernation, changing from stillness to movement, and gradually becoming "alive".

After eating a simple breakfast, Xu Deyong looked out of the train window and saw the vast expanse of plains, with a roughness and loneliness unique to this era.

Chen Xueru is currently leaning on the bunk, squinting her eyes and taking a nap. Her beautiful face that has just been washed is still eye-catching without makeup. Who would have thought that this bitch is already the mother of a child!
Xu Deyong glanced down twice and then looked away. This woman is very sensitive, and she might be noticed if she glances twice more.

Below, Chen Xueru's eyes moved.

Elena's mental state has recovered now, and she is holding a small mirror to take care of herself.

"cough!"

Zhou Quanying, who was on the upper bunk, started coughing out of boredom and tossed and turned.

Wake up, it's dawn, I'm sorry if I don't play, it's not a boring time on the train!
The other bunks have already started, but the gentlemen there don't pay much attention to them. There are many people around, and there are not many card players who are looking at the cards.

"Cough." Zhou Quanying coughed again.

The slightly noisy environment on the train made Chen Xueru unable to sleep even if she wanted to go back to sleep.

She opened her eyes and said breathlessly: "Stop coughing. If you want to play cards, just say so."

Zhou Quanying said with a smile: "Comrade Xueru, don't take any more sleep."

"Do not fight"

"coming."

Say "Zi Liu" and go along.

Zhao Lihui's face was full of helplessness. This sister-in-law was given the wrong birth and should have been a boy.Elena said: "I just put on makeup, you can play, I'll go up there and read a book."

Zhou Quanying said impatiently: "Comrade Xu Deyong, come here."

Xu Deyong played for a while and then asked Wang Xiaoting to take over and borrow her book to read.

……

The train was eventually delayed and arrived at the station at 30:[-] according to the schedule. By the time they arrived, it was already past [-]:[-].

When the train whistled and stopped slowly, the group got off the train and felt a solid feeling when they stepped on the ground.

Shanghai, here it is!
The brief friendship formed by several women playing cards also came to an end. They hugged each other goodbye and went their separate ways at the station door.

In this era of slow cars and horses, this farewell may be forever.

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Zhou Quanying and Zhao Lihui getting into a Wesley jeep.

Chen Xueru glanced at him and said, "Don't look at her. This little girl is pretty good, and she seems to have a good background. If you want to pursue her, it's still too late."

Elena also smiled and said: "Yes, I paid a lot of attention to you on the train that week. I must have been impressed by your handsome appearance."

Xu Deyong quickly made a complaint and said: "Okay, you two, please don't beat me up. It's getting dark today. Where should we go at night?"

"Ha..." Chen Xueru covered her mouth and breathed after hearing this: "I gave you the chance but you are useless. Go call a tricycle. Let's go to the guest house near the ZS Friendship Building."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Hey, I, the tricycle rider in Sijiucheng, will ride on the tricycle in Shanghai. You two will wait a moment."

He went to his colleagues waiting under the street lights outside the door and called three cars.

The three of them got into the car and drove away under the slightly dim street lights.

Although Shanghai at night at this time is far from the bright lights of later generations, there are more prosperous areas than Sijiu City, and the "nightlife" is also more exciting.

After all, Shanghai was an international metropolis before liberation and was known as the "Eight Miles" of the East.

"Shanghai at night, Shanghai at night, you are a city that never sleeps..."

This familiar song sings about the appearance of modern girls in Shanghai in that era.

The singer Zhou Xuan was only 36 years old at this time. She was known as the "Queen of Movies" in the 40s and [-]s and became a hit. Unfortunately, she has been hospitalized due to mental illness for five years and will die next year.

Tricycles are driving all the way, there are more bicycles on the road than in Sijiu City, and pedestrians wear more colorful clothes, and there is peace.

Who would have thought that around the Wu Shi years, this place was still suffering from more than 70 bombings by Chiang Kai-shek. The most serious one was that Shanghai was plunged into darkness...

Blind boxes, blind boxes, some kind of practical high technology, even if you risk being sliced, send them to the country.

Xu Deyong thought ecstatically, since I am so enlightened, Aun He, the great god, should give me face!

……

The tricycle arrived at the guest house. After Chen Xueru paid the money, she yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy. I can't rest well on the train. Please check in quickly and go to bed."

Xu Deyong followed the two women into the guest house carrying a cloth bag and two large suitcases.

The waiter checked the letters of introduction and other certificates, and gave them keys with house numbers after registration.

Chen Xueru and Elena lived in a double room, and Xu Deyong lived in a single room.

After sending the luggage into their room, Xu Deyong slipped away and returned to his room.

Single bed, private bathroom, kettle and tea cup...

Hey, the environment is really nice!

He turned on the "shower" and waited for a while before hot water appeared. Then he stripped naked, swung it around and took a long bath.

After wiping himself clean, he came out and Xu Deyong slipped into bed.

Comfortable!

If it happens again...hehehehe!

He fell asleep with the quilt between his legs, and his dreams tonight were "colorful"...
