Clank! Clank!
The train was very slow at this time.
A green train, the kind that burns coal.
But this does not prevent the green train from transporting people with dreams to all corners of the world.
After waking up from a nap lying on a chair, editor Li Ying went to get some boiled water, took out some dry food, and had a simple meal with editor-in-chief Yan Chen.
"Comrade Li Ying, how do you feel? This is your first time traveling so far. Are you tired?"
Yan Chen asked with a smile.
"Not tired! I feel extremely excited when I think about meeting Comrade Zhong Yuejin soon."
Li Ying said excitedly. After all, she had imagined Zhong Yuejin's appearance countless times in her mind over the past two months.
I have been looking forward to the moment of meeting Zhong Yuejin countless times.
"Well! Very good! Young people should be passionate like this.
Now that our country has just gotten rid of its decline and is developing vigorously, it needs you young people to have such drive and enthusiasm.
You are the youngest editor in our Poetry magazine, but to be honest, I am most optimistic about you.
Most of the other editors were famous poets and writers themselves.
You also know that intellectuals look down on each other. It has been like this since ancient times and is inevitable.
Their judgment and perspective on some submissions are often unfair.
Therefore, a pure writer like you will play a special role in our Poetry Magazine..."
Editor-in-Chief Yan Chen took the opportunity to take Li Ying on a business trip alone this time and taught her some things and experiences that were usually inconvenient to tell her in the car.
that's all……
When you are talking seriously, time always passes quickly.
The train entered Jilin Province, where the scenery was covered with snow, and the train shuttled through the mountains and forests.
Looking at the small villages below, the curling smoke rising from the chimneys, and the various tall and straight trees on both sides, they are a kind of romance unique to the people of Northeast China.
“The Northeast is so beautiful!”
Although I have appreciated the beauty of the Northeast scenery countless times from literary works.
But when Li Ying actually sat on the train and glanced past at a steady pace, the shock she felt was indescribable.
after all……
The capital city at that time was not like the later generations. The environment was well managed, and all kinds of modern skyscrapers were available.
To put it bluntly, living in the capital city in this era is not really a pleasure at all; it’s actually quite painful.
Due to environmental damage, sandstorms in the capital are very serious. Once the sand hits, it is impossible to stay outside.
Every pound of wind contains half a pound of sand. Once you go out, it's like falling into the dirt.
Can you believe that this situation was not improved until before the 2008 Olympics?
In winter, the situation in the capital is even worse.
Every household relies on coal-burning stoves for heating, which results in pollutants from combustion flying everywhere.
There is no good weather in the entire capital city during the winter, and the sky is filled with black smoke.
It is actually very difficult for people to have a good mood and mentality working and living in such an environment.
so……
When Li Ying and Yan Chen saw the extremely clear sky, trees and villages outside the train window, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sudden enlightenment and excitement in their hearts.
This is the real world, and this is the scenery that brings joy to the body and mind.
Soon, the train made a brief stop in Chuncheng.
Li Ying and Yan Chen quickly got off the train with their luggage, and then immediately boarded another train to Baishan County.
The process is not complicated and you can transfer directly at the station.
After all, not many people can afford to take the train in this era, and train stations are relatively small.
After less than an hour of wandering, the two editors of Poetry Magazine finally arrived in Baishan County.
As soon as Li Ying and Yan Chen arrived at the station, they saw someone on the platform holding a sign with the title of editor of Poetry Magazine, so they walked over immediately.
"Hello, comrade! We are the editors of Poetry Magazine. I am editor Li Ying, and this is our editor-in-chief Yan Chen. May I ask if you are the person sent by the Baishan County Government to pick us up?"
Li Ying asked politely.
"Yes, yes, yes! Hello, Comrade Li Ying, I am from the Publicity Department of the County Government, and this is the driver, Master Sun.
County Magistrate Xiong sent us to pick you up. Please go to our county guesthouse first."
Seeing that he had found the right person, Li Ying asked impatiently, "Have you found Comrade Zhong Yuejin mentioned in our telegram?"
"Found it! Found it! Comrade Zhong Yuejin was picked up by driver Master Sun in the morning and taken to the county guesthouse to stay.
Follow us to the county guesthouse, and you will be able to meet Comrade Zhong Yuejin."
The Propaganda Department Secretary said with a smile.
Master Sun patted his chest and said proudly: "In order not to delay your work, I got up at four o'clock this morning and went to Linjiagou to pick up Comrade Zhong Yuejin!"
"That's great! Thank you, Master Sun. Now please take us to the county guesthouse."
Knowing that she would soon see the comrade Zhong Yuejin whom she had been thinking about so much, Li Ying's face immediately turned red visibly.
At the same time, her heart started beating wildly, a mixture of excitement and... shyness as if she was about to meet her idol.
…
On the other hand, Zhong Yuejin was taken to the county guesthouse and was given a single room for cadres.
He lay on the soft quilt and looked at the clean and upscale room, which was many times better than the dormitory for educated youth in the village!
