The next morning, everyone got up at four o'clock, cooked some noodles, ate them, and then set off.
Qin Anning and Lu Cheng took turns driving along the way and arrived in Harbin at 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Let's go eat something first, then I'll ask a friend to help buy the tickets."
Lu Cheng parked the car in front of a state-owned restaurant.
Wang Qiufen and Xue Jing were both reluctant to spend money, and they were afraid of embarrassing Lu Cheng when they went out, so when Lu Cheng ordered the dishes, they were heartbroken but didn't dare to make a fuss.
After finishing the meal, it was already past 12 o'clock when we drove to Sankeshu Station.
Qin An Ning accompanied them, and Lu Cheng went to the ticket office to find Xie Shangdong's friends.
"Old Five, here are the notes."
Xue Jing was anxious to get the money, but was stopped by Qin An Ning.
"Sister-in-law, forget what I told you. Don't show off your wealth. There are so many people here, so don't fight."
Looking at so many people coming and going, Xue Jing gave up the idea of taking the money. She decided to just spend it and she would return it to Ningning later.
Over there, Lu Cheng found Xie Shangdong's friend, bought four sleeper tickets, and gave him a bribe of five dollars.
"No, Shangdong is my good brother. Aren't you insulting me?" the man refused.
"Brother, this is a little gift from me. It's hot, buy you a popsicle.
Brother Xie is busy lately, let’s have a meal together next time when we have time, we will be brothers from now on.”
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he exchanged a few polite words with the man before coming back.
While waiting for the bus, Lu Cheng saw that the children were curious about everything, so he took Hu Zi and Xiao Hua out for a walk.
"Ningning, when can we reach Hai City?" Xue Jing hugged Lele and felt a little nervous. This was the first time she had taken a train in her life.
"The bus leaves at 15:21 and will arrive the day after tomorrow morning around 11:00 AM. That's if it's not late. If it's late, I don't know when it will arrive."
Not to mention now, even in the 21st century, long-distance green trains still experience delays.
"Oh my god, it will take more than 40 hours to get there?"
Xue Jing looked at the crowded waiting room and asked, "Are all these people taking this train? Can the train hold so many people?"
"Not everyone takes this train, but it's very crowded."
Nowadays, there are never many people on long-distance trains like this.
"Don't worry, Lu Cheng asked a friend to buy a sleeper ticket. There are fewer people over there, so it will be more comfortable."
Wang Qiufen couldn't help but ask, "What is a sleeper ticket?"
"It's something you can lie down on. You'll see once you get on the bus."
Xue Jing thought to herself that she didn't know how much the sleeper ticket cost, so she would ask Lu Yuan when she got there, so that he wouldn't give her too little and Ningning and Lao Wu would have to ride on it.
When the time was almost up, a long queue formed at the ticket gate.
"Ningning, Laowu, let's hurry up and get in line, so we don't get left behind by the train."
Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and took them to line up.
Because of Qin An Ning's previous instructions, Wang Qiufen held Hu Zi tightly and refused to let go, Xue Jing held Lele, Qin An Ning held Xiaohua, and Lu Cheng was responsible for carrying the bag.
Finally we got on the bus, and several people were sweating from the squeeze.
I found the berth number, two lower berths and two middle berths, all in the same compartment, which was pretty good.
Lu Cheng helped put the bags away. With Qin An Ning following him, he had nothing to worry about.
But he still said a few more words, "Mom, sister-in-law, when you go out, just listen to Ningning. She has a lot of experience, and you can't go wrong if you listen to her."
Wang Qiufen and Xue Jing both nodded.
"Hu Zi, Xiao Hua, there are a lot of people on the bus, so don't run around. Listen to what aunt says, okay?" The two nodded obediently.
"Auntie told us that there are bad guys on the train. Don't worry, uncle, I will watch over my sister." Hu Zi promised like a little adult.
Lu Cheng didn't get off the bus until the conductor urged him to.
As the whistle sounded, the train slowly started to move.
Hu Zi and Xiao Hua lay on the small table and looked out, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Mom, sister-in-law, you must be tired after working so hard since early morning. Lie down and rest for a while."
"I'm not tired. If you're tired, just lie down for a while." Wang Qiufen was embarrassed to say that everything she saw was new to her, so how could she fall asleep?
"Then you guys sit still and don't move around. I'll go get some water so you don't get thirsty later."
Qin An Ning took two enamel pots to fetch water and secretly added some space water into the cups to relieve their fatigue.
When dinner was served in the evening, Qin Anning wanted to take them to the dining car.
But Xue Jing and Wang Qiufen both hid money in their luggage, and Qin An Ning felt uneasy if he didn't watch it, so he had to take it back to eat.
"Ningning, here are some eggs cooked by your second sister-in-law. Just buy a few."
The food on the train must be very expensive, and Wang Qiufen felt a little distressed again.
Qin Anning didn't care about so many things. It was tiring enough to sit on the train for such a long time. If he didn't eat or sleep well, it would be a life-threatening situation.
The food on the train today was pretty good, including braised pork, minced meat with tofu, scrambled eggs with spinach, and stewed potatoes with green beans.
Qin An Ning brought back four meals. Wang Qiufen saw that she had already bought them, so she didn't say anything to spoil the fun. She peeled an egg and put one in Qin An Ning's lunch box first.
One portion was not enough for Hu Zi and Xiao Hua, so Qin An Ning shared some of her food with the two children.
"Ningning, you can eat it yourself, and share mine with them."
Xue Jing tried to stop him, but Qin An Ning dodged him.
"Sister-in-law, I bought four servings because I knew I couldn't eat so much. Otherwise, I would have bought five."
They have little food in the village, so naturally they eat a lot, and they won’t be full if they share the food.
