Reborn in the red age

Chapter 25 Comrade, come and have a cigarette to slow down.
Mother Li came out of the kitchen and wrapped the hot white-flour steamed buns in oil paper. She put them into her cloth pocket one by one and kept saying: "These steamed buns are all white-flour. You Be careful when you're on the train, don't take out too much at once, otherwise people will be jealous."

"I also put the kettle your brother brought back from the army in your bag. It contains hot water that has been cooled down. You can drink it on the road. I heard from your brother that sometimes free hot water is provided on the train. "When the time comes, be careful. When there is a supply of hot water, take out the enamel jar and get some hot water to drink. It will take three days on the road. Your body won't be able to bear it if you don't drink some hot water."

As parting approached, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent. Father Li and Boss Li were sitting on stools smoking cigarettes non-stop. Two golden flowers with red eyes were holding Qingfeng Li's hands, while Mother Li was holding Qingfeng Li's hands. He kept nagging about the train ride experience she heard from Li Qingsong. Li Qingfeng didn't say anything, just listened silently, nodding from time to time to show that he had listened to everything.

After everything was packed, Qingfeng Li slung his shoulder bag, carried the small bag, and carried the big bag. After saying goodbye to everyone, he followed Li's mother on the second sister's lady's bicycle and rushed there under the moonlight. TRAIN STATION.

There was only one bicycle at home, and the train station was a long way from home, so Li's mother had to go alone to take Qingfeng Li to the train.

Unable to go to the station to see off my family, I stood outside the gate and stared at the hazy black shadow under the moonlight until it completely disappeared around the corner of the street, then reluctantly walked home.

"Don't be stubborn when working in the countryside, be thick-skinned, and do it if you can do it. You are alone in the country. As long as you can earn enough work points to feed you, there is no need to exert great effort."

"It is better not to earn more work points than to exhaust your body. The body is the capital of revolution."

"When you get there, don't listen to the local people's nonsense about building rural areas and being proud of hard work. Just think of it as nonsense. What they say is great work. If something goes wrong, go find them. , you see, these guys in their brigade don’t care.”

"There are fools like this in our county. They listened to the words of the local team leader and worked hard like old scalpers wherever they went. They went wherever they were tired. In the end, their bodies collapsed from exhaustion. When they returned to the city for treatment, they were given priority for work assignments. Until now, I still have no explanation, and I still have to spend money on medical treatment, and in the end, there is no unit that even reimburses me.”

"People must be self-aware, do as much work as they have the strength, and don't overtax your body. If the captain says you are working hard, just accept it. As long as you complete the minimum amount of tasks, he can't do anything to you. I'll scold you a few words at most, but don't go back to others. On their territory, if you go back to others, they will have many ways to deal with you. If you don't take the initiative, you won't be able to go back to the city. If you meet a small-minded person, they will If I can torment you, you won’t be able to survive in the village.”

Along the way, Li's mother kept telling Qingfeng the secret of going to the countryside while riding her bicycle. It wasn't until she approached the train station and saw a passerby who was also rushing to catch the train that Li's mother stopped talking.

In the era when high-speed rail has not yet developed, buying a platform ticket at the train station can send people into the station, and help put luggage on the train's luggage rack, and then get off when the train is about to leave.

Mother Li helped Qingfeng Li carry the luggage and squeezed along the crowd towards the train. The moment she saw the train, Mother Li started to chatter again. This time, she was surrounded by educated youths. Mother Li just said in a vague way. After asking Qingfeng Li to remember what she just said on the road, she started to talk about how to be careful when going out.

After the train stopped, mother and son shamelessly squeezed in toward the newly opened door to grab seats.

Educated youth going to the countryside is not organized by the Educated Youth Office every time. The country is so big that people go to the countryside from southeast to northwest. The trains are all different. Naturally, it cannot be organized by the Educated Youth Office every time. This train is not There are educated youths and passengers on the special train for educated youth. If you want to get a seat, you have to squeeze in.

These days are different from those in later generations. You can’t just buy a ticket and get a seat. Everyone spends the same money, so why can you sit and I can’t?If you want to get a seat on the train, you have to fight for it.Regardless of the carriage and seats on the ticket, whoever grabs it belongs to whomever, and those who don't grab it will go standing. Many things cannot be explained rationally.

The mother and son were relatively lucky. They found an empty seat within two compartments of the train. Before the people behind them could catch up, Qingfeng Li quickly took two steps to occupy the empty seat.

Mother Li helped Qingfeng Li put away his luggage. She held Qingfeng Li's hand with red eyes and repeated the words she said before getting on the train. It was not until the conductor informed the train that the train was about to leave that Mother Li turned around. Got off the carriage.

Mother Li did not leave the carriage but came to the train window where Qingfeng Li was.

Seeing Mrs. Li standing at the car window, Li Qingfeng didn't care what the passenger sitting in the middle thought. He directly leaned over and half-knelt on the other passenger's lap with his right leg. His left foot maintained the golden rooster's independent posture, holding it with both hands. He looked out of the car window and said to Mother Li: "Mom, go back and be careful on the road."

As the train started slowly, Mrs. Li followed the train and waved to Qingfeng Li. She wiped her tears and shouted at Qingfeng Li who stuck his head out of the window: "The family has no choice, don't blame the family."

"I don't blame my family, I know that, please go back quickly." At this moment, Qingfeng Li's eyes couldn't control his tears, and he shouted loudly to his mother who was chasing the train.

After Mother Li's figure gradually became smaller and disappeared, Qingfeng Li stretched his head back out of the window at the reminder of the conductor.

Sitting in his seat, he first apologized to the passengers next to him, and then sat back in his seat in a daze. The tears in his eyes could not stop flowing down, and a strong feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. Sad and sad, I cried uncontrollably.

Although his body was crying, his mind was very clear. Qingfeng Li could clearly tell that this feeling did not come from the 24-year-old Qingfeng Li who had just graduated from college, but from the 18-year-old Qingfeng Li.

Li Qingfeng has become accustomed to this kind of situation in the past two months. The two of them are the fusion of memories. It is not like one soul destroys the other soul after taking over the body. Muscle memory can be retained even if a person loses his memory. What's more, Not to mention the fusion of memories, it is normal for the emotions of 18-year-old Qingfeng Li to still remain in his body.

After finally stopping crying, the passenger next to me handed over a cigarette: "Comrade, stop crying, come and have a cigarette to slow down."

(I didn’t go with the large army, so there is no special train for educated youth, so don’t worry about this issue)
