The advantage of the slow train is that it is cheap. From Pulan City to Shenyang, which is more than 500 miles, the ticket price is only four yuan.

But the disadvantage is that the slow train stops at every station, and after stopping at one station, it stops at another station only a few miles away.

This made Wan Feng very depressed, and he decided to buy an express sleeper when he arrived in Shenyang.

After the train passed Gai County, more and more people got on the train. By the time the train arrived at Anshan Station, it was almost full.

The carriage was very lively, like a market. Adults asked children to do all kinds of things, such as bragging, talking nonsense, singing and playing harmonica.

Opposite Wan Feng was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, holding a little girl of seven or eight years old with pigtails.

The woman was somewhat pretty, but she looked very sad.

The little girl, on the other hand, didn't look sad at all. She stared at Wan Feng with her round eyes without blinking.

Wan Feng didn't know why the little girl was looking at him. Could it be that he was so handsome that he could charm the little girl?

"Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl didn't speak.

Wan Feng took out two eggs from his bag and handed them to the little girl.

"Tell me your name, and these two eggs will be yours."

Luan Feng, this weird woman, actually put more than a dozen eggs in her bag. He didn't need that at all.

The little girl looked at the egg, swallowed but didn't take it.

Judging from his clothes, he should be a child from a poor family, but he is well-educated.

Don’t underestimate two eggs. In the 1980s, just think about the fact that only women who had given birth or were in confinement after childbirth could eat eggs, and you will know how precious eggs were.

"Tell me your name and I'll give you the eggs."

"Lotus!" the girl answered in a low voice.

"Nice! A very nice name, and the person is beautiful too. These two eggs are for you."

"I don't want it. Mom said I can't just take other people's things."

"Take it, don't listen to your mother. My brother gave it to me, so I don't want any money." Wan Feng stuffed two eggs into Lianhua's hands.

Little Lotus turned around and looked at her mother for help.

"Take it, thank you, brother."

"Brother, big brother."

Wan Feng smiled slightly and asked Lianhua's mother, "Aunt! Where do we get off?"

"Liaoyang."

"Visiting relatives?"

"Um!"

"Aunt! You have such a lovely daughter, so why are you unhappy? I see you look so sad."

The woman shook her head and did not answer Wan Feng's question.

"My father got sick and had no money for treatment, so my mother borrowed money from my grandmother..."

"You stupid kid, if you keep talking nonsense I'll beat you to death." The woman's face changed color and she raised her hand to slap Lotus twice.

Lotus's little face immediately fell and she started to sob.

"Don't cry, or I'll beat you up!"

Wan Feng couldn't bear it any longer. "Aunt! Although we teach children in person, beating a child in public will have a negative impact on her heart. Don't cry, Lotus. Uncle will play a song for you."

Wan Feng took out the tape recorder from his bag.

As soon as she saw the big brother take out a strange thing from the bag, Lianhua immediately stopped crying. Although there were still two tears on her face, she watched Wan Feng fiddling with the strange thing intently.

In order to relieve the loneliness during the journey, Wan Feng bought two boxes of D-type batteries and carried them with him.

One set of batteries can be used for more than two hours of music listening without rewinding.

Wan Feng installed a pair of batteries and pressed the play button, and a melodious and pleasant tune sounded in the car.

This is a miscellaneous song tape, which includes songs by Liu Wenjing, Teresa Teng, Sam Hui and the newly debuted Alan Tam.

The carriage suddenly became quiet, everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and even passers-by who were walking back and forth stopped.

Soon a group of people gathered at Wanfeng's place, blocking the aisle.

Wan Feng saw that this was not going to work, so he turned off the recorder.

"I'm sorry, folks, I can't let you go any further. If I do, the train police will come looking for me. Please forgive me."

Put away the recorder while you speak.

Those who hadn't heard enough looked disappointed, but what Wan Feng said was true. The traffic was blocked here, so of course the train police would come over to ask.

Lianhua looked at Wanfeng's bag reluctantly, as if she hadn't heard enough.

"Aunt! What's wrong with my uncle?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm just tired. Your uncle is a greedy man. He works so hard that he's exhausted himself."

If you exhaust your body in your thirties, how will you live in the future?

"Aunt! Where do you live?"

"I live in the suburbs of Ansan."

"Just make a living by farming?"

"What else can we do if we don't rely on farming? Even farming is hard, and the production team doesn't make much money in a year."

"As the saying goes, when you're broke, you try to change. Have you ever thought about doing something else, like doing business?"

Lotus's mother shook her head. "What kind of business is this? We have no money!"

"It's a pity that you're too far away from us. If you can't work with us, you can at least earn three or four hundred yuan a year."

Wan Feng's words not only surprised Lianhua's mother, but also the neighbors in front, behind, and on both sides of Wan Feng showed interest.

"Hey, young man, where do you live? How do you make so much money?"

"In Hongya County, we have clothing and shoe factories. The people working there are paid monthly, like state employees, about thirty yuan a month. They still need workers. Are you interested in working there?"

"It's too far, hundreds of miles away from us."

"Yeah, it's too far."
