Chapter 74 Trains in the 1970s (2/2)



“No, no more.” Feng Mian shook his head hurriedly.

Gu Yuelin's eyes darkened.

Feng Mian added: "I'll hold on a little longer, and we'll be there in half a day."

"Okay, then you take a nap so that time passes faster. I'll help you watch."

"Um."

Gu Yuelin put the clothes on his legs, patted them and said, "Lean on me."

She refused to sleep in the wind position the first time, but this position was the most comfortable and she got used to it after the first time.

Feng Mian lay on him and fell asleep in a moment.

The girl opposite, Lin Xiaofang, was envious, "You two have such a good relationship."

Gu Yuelin had an indifferent expression. He hummed and skillfully picked up a book to read.

The boy next door asked him, "Comrade, are you preparing for the college entrance examination?"

He hummed lightly again, picked up the kettle on the table, took a big gulp of water, and ignored them.

They both agreed that Gu Yuelin was a person who didn't like to argue.

Two hours into the train's journey to the final station, everyone in the carriage was excited.

The few people who were sleeping woke up and talked together.

Those who have been to Haicheng introduced all kinds of things about Haicheng to those who have not been there, which made people feel fascinated.

Feng Mian took out the remaining food and distributed some to the two people opposite him.

The two Lin Xiaofangs have been eating steamed buns and pickles. This morning she has finished the last half.

Another boy, Zhou Qi, ran out of eggs yesterday and ate his last steamed bun this morning.

The two were flattered and stared at them eating, drooling for two days.

Although he was tired and hungry, he didn't refuse. He just took the food and kept saying thank you.

"Sister Feng, Comrade Gu, I have never eaten such delicious cakes. They are so sweet. What is the filling inside?"

"Your red bean one."

"What kind of meat is this?"

"beef."

"Wow, it's beef jerky." The two were delighted and thanked Feng Mian again.

After a full meal, the train finally arrived at the station.

When hearing the announcement on the loudspeaker, everyone's face was filled with smiles, as if three days of fatigue were swept away.

After eating, the backpack felt much lighter. Just like when he came here, Gu Yuelin protected the bag with one hand and held Feng Mian tightly with the other.

She had slept on him for two or three days already, so she didn't feel so awkward holding his hand again.

The two of them finally squeezed out of the train station and started looking for a guesthouse.

There was no choice. It was already late when the train arrived, and they had to find a place to stay as soon as possible, otherwise they would have to live on the streets at night.

"Wait for me here. I'll go ask in front."

"good."

Gu Yuelin found a man on duty in military uniform and asked, "Comrade, where is the nearest guesthouse?"

"There are quite a few guest houses nearby, but at this time, there may not be any rooms available."

"Then may I ask which guesthouse may have rooms available?"

The man pointed in a direction and said, "Go to that street and ask at any guesthouse you see along the way."

"Okay, thank you comrade."

After Gu Yuelin had asked clearly, he ran to Feng Mian and said to her, "I asked, there are quite a few guest houses on the street ahead."

Feng Mian nodded and followed him, but it was a bit difficult.

Gu Yuelin noticed it carefully, slowed down and stretched out his arm.

"You're pulling me."

"You also took the train for three days..."

"It's okay. I've sat there longer."

Feng Mian's feet were badly swollen, and the shoes that fit her were so tight that she wanted to take them off and walk barefoot.
