Ye Xuanhan was not surprised at all, but she was in a hurry to catch the train and was too lazy to think about all those complicated things.
Jiang Wang had told her before that he had already written a letter to the Huaihua Brigade, asking the brigade leader Li Erhe to help organize the banquet in the village.
If Ye Xuanhan didn't invite everyone in the team to dinner at her wedding, she would probably be criticized for being stingy or suspected of not marrying Jiang Wang at all.
Even if you show me your marriage certificate, I won’t believe it. After all, in the countryside these days, people still look to see if there is a bride-picking ceremony.
Jiang Wang bought the train tickets in advance, and then he and Ye Hanhan bought some bread and other snacks at the supply and marketing cooperative to eat on the train.
Since it takes two days and one night to reach Yun'an County by train, Jiang Wang bought a hard sleeper ticket so that the journey would not be too bumpy.
Jiang Wang lived in the lower bunk, while Ye Hanhan lived in the middle bunk.
This was not a peaceful era. Many people liked to steal things on the train, and there were even many human traffickers. Living in the lower bunk was just the right place to protect Ye Han.
Before the train departed, some people who hadn't bought tickets even jumped in through the window.
...
...
"Girl, please give me a hand," a woman in her fifties was heard calling Ye Hanhan outside the window.
She wanted to climb onto the train even though her legs were not very strong.
Ye Xuanhan pretended not to hear and turned his head to the side to see if Jiang Wang had brought back the water.
Who knew that the old lady would not give in, "Girl, how come you have no sympathy at all? You look so innocent, but you don't know how to respect the elderly at all."
Ye Han thought it was a little funny, "Auntie, if you want to get on the train, you can buy a ticket. Why did you come in through the window? Don't you know that you are not feeling well?"
Want to blackmail me morally? No way, not even a window!
"Tsk, if you don't want to help, then don't help," the old lady looked at Ye Han angrily, then turned to the young man on the other side and said, "Young man, give me a hand, you see how old I am."
When the young man heard the old lady's voice, he wanted to imitate Ye Xuanhan and pretend not to hear it, but the old lady stepped on the edge of the train and took the bag that the young man had placed by the window and went out.
"Auntie!" the young man said anxiously, "Give me your hand, I'll pull it over to you."
"It should have been over earlier, really," the old lady muttered a few words, and was dragged into the train carriage with great difficulty.
Seeing that more and more people were evading the ticket, the conductor began to maintain order and closed the open windows one by one.
As the train started to rumble, Ye Hanhan's thoughts drifted out the window. It was the first time for her to ride on this green train since she traveled through time.
Compared with later trains, it was not only slow but also noisy and extremely shaky to sit on.
The conductor walked through each carriage, repeating over and over again, "Please find your seats and get ready. The train will leave soon. Please take care of your belongings and your children..."
There was nothing valuable in Ye Xuanhan's bag. When he heard the conductor's voice, he just sat up straight and waited for the train to depart.
After Jiang Wang came back with the hot water, he saw his wife sitting very straight and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Have some water," Jiang Wang handed the military canteen in his hand to Ye Han, "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, I'll go buy some food."
Hearing the words "buy food", the lady sitting next to her brightened up, then rolled her eyes and said to Jiang Wang: "Young man, are you going to buy food? Can you bring some for me too? I'll give you money."
The food on trains these days is delicious, but not cheap. Ye Han sneered in his heart.
This lady is reluctant to even buy a train ticket. If she goes to buy a meal, won’t she be heartbroken?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang looked up and glanced at the old lady with an indifferent look, and did not reply.
Ye Xuanhan pinched the palm of his hand, signaling Jiang Wang to stop interfering, as this old lady was not someone who was easy to deal with.
"Eat later. I want some water."
It was not dark outside yet, so Ye Han wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at the scenery outside the window.
Seeing that she couldn't get any money from Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang, the old lady got up and changed carriages.
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Wang took his and Ye Hanhan's aluminum lunch boxes and went to the first carriage, which was the dining car dedicated to selling meals, and bought two servings of pork and scallion dumplings.
After finishing his meal, Ye Xuanhan planned to lie down on the middle bunk to rest for a while, but he didn’t know that a quarrel broke out in the carriage in front and the noise was getting louder and louder.
It sounded like the old lady just now had an argument with someone.
"Girl, seeing that you are fair and clean, I thought you were kind-hearted. My feet are tired and I want to sit next to you to rest, but you won't let me. You really don't know how to respect the elderly."
"Auntie, first of all, this is my berth. Secondly, I need to rest. How can I sleep if you keep sitting here?"
The girl's voice was angry and sounded familiar. Ye Han tilted his ear and continued to listen.
I heard that the girl seemed to have a companion beside her, "Lanlan, what's wrong with you letting me sit down and rest for a while? Anyway, the lower bunk is spacious, and it would be good for someone to help you look after your luggage, right?"
"Yu Meili, you are so kind-hearted, why don't you let me sleep on your middle bunk?"
Ye Hanhan burst out laughing. It seemed that the old lady had met a tough guy again.
But it was such a coincidence that the girl's voice sounded like Qian Lanlan, and even her name was similar.
Is it really such a coincidence that I take the same train with Qian Lanlan?
She got down from the middle bed and went to the front carriage to check.
As a result, I saw Qian Lanlan who was being pestered by the old lady. She was wearing a military green dress and Liberation shoes. She looked like she was going to the countryside.
"Lanlan?" Ye Han called her name.
Qian Lanlan didn't realize it was such a coincidence. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Ye Hanhan was on the same train as her.
Both of them were sharp-tongued and they forced the shameless old lady to leave before sitting down to chat.
"What a coincidence."
"Yes, by the way, Lanlan, where are you going to go to the countryside?"
"It seems to be called the Huaihua Brigade. I'm not sure. They are all temporarily assigned."
"Ah? Sophora japonica brigade? Oh my god, Lanlan, I'm from the Sophora japonica brigade. What a coincidence this time."
Qian Lanlan was originally feeling depressed and nervous about going to a strange place where she was unfamiliar with the place. But now, when she heard that Ye Hanhan was born and raised there, she immediately smiled with joy.
"Then you have to protect me from now on."
"That's for sure."
Ye Hanhan smiled and nodded.
After talking to Qian Lanlan for a while, Ye Han returned to his compartment and saw Jiang Wang reading a book.
His temperament was originally cold and ascetic, but with books as a backdrop, he appeared gentle and elegant.
