But there was no other way. After all, this train was public transportation. Whether she liked it or not was not important; what mattered was its convenience.
Xiao Aijun let Lin Yizhen live on the upper bunk, and he lived on the lower bunk.
The lower bunk was bustling with people, and sometimes someone would sit on it. Xiao Aijun was worried that Lin Yizhen wouldn't like people sitting on her bed, so he chose the lower bunk for himself.
Lin Yizhen didn't object. She really didn't like sleeping on the lower bunk, especially in a mixed-gender soft sleeper car.
Xiao Aijun asked Lin Yizhen if there was anything in her luggage that she would need in the evening.
He could take it out in advance, and if not, he would put the snakeskin bag containing his luggage under his bed.
Lin Yizhen said there was no need for it, so he could just put it in.
After saying that, she put the canvas bag she was carrying on her bed and quickly climbed up.
Lin Yizhen had just climbed onto the upper bunk when she saw two young girls carrying luggage into the carriage they were in.
The two girls were dressed very fashionably, unlike the usual thick cotton-padded jackets. They both wore turtleneck sweaters and cashmere coats, which made them look very slim.
Although the colors are still black, white and gray, it still makes people's eyes bright.
Even Lin Yizhen was attracted unconsciously and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although she wasn't wearing anything thick, she was still wearing a cotton-padded jacket. The style was also quite ordinary, so it wasn't noticeable compared to what most people wore, but the difference was quite significant compared to these two people.
This is an ordinary style that Lin Yizhen specifically asked the embroiderer to make, so as not to attract the attention of the villagers.
Now seeing how these two girls were dressed, Lin Yizhen felt that she was too low-key.
Then he shook his head again.
I don’t spend much time outside, so there’s no need to dress so fashionably and stylishly.
After watching it, Lin Yizhen no longer paid attention to the carriage and lay down on her bed to rest.
Xiao Aijun, who was sitting on the lower bunk sorting his things, also saw someone coming in, but he ignored it.
However, after the two came in, he made way to the inside so that they could get into the carriage.
When the two fashionable girls came in, they saw a young man in the carriage. They felt a little embarrassed, but didn't say much.
After Xiao Aijun made way for them, the two of them thanked him and walked in carrying their luggage.
The two girls knew each other, and they came in.
They discussed with each other whether to sleep on the upper or lower bunk, and packed their luggage together.
As for how Lin Yizhen knew that they knew each other while she was resting with her eyes closed, it was mainly because the two of them were talking in low voices.
The carriage was so small that she could clearly hear the heartbeats of the three people in the carriage, not to mention the two people talking quietly.
After Xiao Aijun took out the things he needed, he put the rest of the things into the big bag and stuffed it under the bed.
Then, I lay down on the bed and rested.
The train started moving shortly after they lay down, and Lin Yizhen looked out the window.
She didn't know how long it would take to get from Xiyuan City to the capital, but she didn't plan to ask. She just had to follow Xiao Aijun. What did it matter how long it took? She couldn't go anywhere else anyway.
Lin Yizhen looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock.
It was estimated that dinner would be in another hour, so Lin Yizhen didn't sleep and planned to sleep after dinner.
Moreover, because she had eaten breakfast early, Lin Yizhen was already a little hungry. She couldn't fall asleep at this time, so she might as well wait a little longer and sleep longer after lunch.
Lin Yizhen, who didn't want to sleep, took out the Little Red Book from her canvas and read it.
Lin Yizhen bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative two days ago. She heard that the situation in Beijing was very serious.
For her own safety, Lin Yizhen decided to buy a Little Red Book and memorize the quotations from it.
This will avoid you from not being able to keep up with what others are saying, which would be disadvantageous to you.
She had never seen anyone in town quoting Quotations from Confucius before, so she didn't take it seriously and naturally didn't buy the Little Red Book.
Later, when Xiao Aijun talked about the situation in the capital and specifically reminded her to buy it, Lin Yizhen naturally took it seriously.
So, she went to the town specially the day before yesterday and bought this red book from the supply and marketing cooperative.
During the Lunar New Year holiday, the supply and marketing cooperative was only open for four hours, and Lin Yizhen almost missed it because she didn't know the time.
Fortunately, she was lucky and caught up with the people in the supply and marketing department when they were about to get off work.
Lin Yizhen took the Little Red Book and slowly flipped through it, but she was silently reciting it in her heart.
She didn't know how long it would take to get to the capital, nor did she know how much she could memorize. She tried her best to memorize as much as she could.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Lin Yizhen was reciting the poem with great concentration, she heard Xiao Aijun calling her.
She closed the book and asked, "Captain Xiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Comrade Lin, it's time for lunch. I'm going to buy some food and would like to ask you what you want to eat?" Xiao Aijun said to Lin Yizhen while standing in the aisle of the carriage.
Lin Yizhen had eaten the food on the train before, and it wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. However, it was not cheap.
Lin Yizhen took out five yuan and five taels of food coupons from her pocket, handed them to Xiao Aijun along with her lunch box, and said, "Captain Xiao, please help me get one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and five taels of rice."
"Comrade Lin, please take the money back! Our meal expenses will be reimbursed, so we don't have to pay for it ourselves."
Xiao Aijun only took the lunch box and did not accept the money and tickets from Lin Yizhen.
Instead, he told her that their trip was subsidized and they didn't have to pay for their own food and accommodation.
Lin Yizhen didn't know what was going on. Since Xiao Aijun said she didn't have to spend any money, she took back all the money and tickets.
Then, just wait for Xiao Aijun to come back with food.
Perhaps because there were fewer people in the sleeper car and it was closer to the front of the train, Xiao Aijun came back quickly after buying food.
He bought Lin Yizhen a portion of braised pork, a portion of stir-fried wild vegetables with oil residue, and a portion of shredded potatoes.
After Lin Yizhen came down from the upper bunk and took the food, she thanked Xiao Aijun and started eating.
After Xiao Aijun handed Lin Yizhen her portion of rice, he took his own lunch box and started eating. The food he ordered was similar to Lin Yizhen's, and the amount of rice was also about the same.
But instead of buying shredded potatoes, he bought a plate of kimchi.
After dinner, Lin Yizhen waited for Xiao Aijun to finish and said, "Give me the lunch box! I'll wash it."
Xiao Aijun said a little embarrassedly: "Let me wash it! You go back to the upper bunk and rest."
Lin Yizhen didn't listen to him. She snatched the lunch box from his hand, walked out of the car and went to the tea room.
Looking at Lin Yizhen who had already left, Xiao Aijun wondered: How come Comrade Lin is so strong? Could this be the result of practicing martial arts?
I don’t know why Lin Tongzhi was unwilling to teach them martial arts after meeting the leader this time.
If possible, he would also like to learn.
After all, who among those who join the army would not be willing to learn things that can improve their abilities?
