Chapter 185 Hitchhiking
The clanging green train makes quite a bit of noise.
However, after listening to it for a long time, you will no longer find it noisy and can even treat this regular noise as a lullaby.
Chu Hong could be considered a carefree person, and she slept soundly. When she was woken up by Gu Ci, she looked at him in a daze, and her words were a little vague: "What happened?"
That confused look in her eyes made her look so cute that he wanted to pat her and coax her to continue sleeping.
But the location was wrong, so he could only whisper: "It's time to get up, we have to prepare to get off the bus."
This time they had a smooth journey.
I boarded the train yesterday afternoon. As I had too many valuables with me and was afraid someone might take advantage of me, I simply bought a sleeper berth.
There weren't many people in the sleeper berth, and we didn't meet any bad people. Everyone was just exchanging polite greetings.
It was relatively quiet at night, at least Chu Hong slept soundly.
This is also because the staff on the train knew them, so they let them sleep peacefully and said that when the train was about to arrive at the station, they would come to wake them up twenty minutes in advance.
Chu Hong was now sober and watched him pack up everything before she carefully came down from the top.
They both felt it was safer to sleep on the top bed, and put their more valuable luggage inside the bed.
The bed is less than one meter long and is indeed a bit narrow, but fortunately they are not fat.
The two of them took turns washing and going to the toilet.
I was also afraid of leaving something behind, so after checking again and again, I walked to the door of the car, carrying my bag, cloth bag, urea bag, net bag and other luggage, ready to get off.
Maybe it was because it was cloudy, it was almost five o'clock and the sky was still pitch black.
Gu Ci said, "You go to the waiting room and wait for me first. I'll go to the consignment to get my things."
Chu Hong was a little worried: "Spend some money and find someone to take it with you, otherwise you will be too tired."
They have six large bamboo cages, which contain two hundred ducklings and one hundred chickens.
There are also two hundred jujube trees, more than ten orange, pear, peach and grapefruit trees.
Most of the saplings are about 50 to 60 centimeters tall, but their roots are covered with soil, so they look a bit heavy.
Gu Ci heard that she cared about him and smiled: "Okay."
There weren't many people in the waiting room originally, but now those who look more energetic are the ones who just got off the train.
I don't know whether to change buses or wait for them.
Gu Ci looked around. He would not ask those people carrying briefcases. Finally, he walked to the two middle-aged men because their clothes were all patched and they had very little luggage.
After a few whispered words, the deal was reached and the three of them left together.
Not long after they left, there were a few muffled thunders, followed by the sound of rain.
Chu Hong began to worry. It would be difficult to travel in such weather.
I regretted not wanting to bring an umbrella.
When we went out, grandma told us to bring an umbrella if it was sunny and to bring some dry food.
But Chu Hong really wanted to go out without taking anything with her.
So it's just a perfunctory response.
Unexpectedly, it rained now. It taught her a lesson, making her understand what it means to not listen to the advice of the elderly and suffer the consequences.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Gu Ci was nowhere to be seen. Chu Hong waited and waited, and when she saw the security staff patrolling, her original anxiety disappeared.
There's no point in being anxious anyway. We can only wait for the rain to stop or get lighter before leaving.
At this moment, Gu Ci ran in from outside and started to take the luggage: "The car is waiting outside, let's go quickly."
Chu Hong was a little surprised: "What car is waiting outside?"
"We are lucky. I just happened to see He Zhigang and his team's truck. It is also returning empty. We can take a ride with them."
Even Chu Hong almost jumped up with joy: "That's really great."
Otherwise, they have to take the bus to the station before they can get on the coach.
And I don’t know how long I have to wait before the car can be driven.
The truck was parked in front of the door of the waiting room. Gu Ci got on first and then pulled Chu Hong in.
The back seat was originally for truck drivers to sleep, and it is comfortable to sit in.
Chu Hong smiled at them first: "Thank you so much for troubling you. I will treat you to eggs in a few months. Regardless of whether Chu Hong's words were polite or not, they made people feel comfortable.
He Zhigang immediately said, "Then I'm serious. Chu Hong, you can't forget it, or I'll go to your house and ask for it."
He didn't forget to add: "Anyway, I know where your home is."
The young man sitting in the passenger seat also smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence that I can lend a hand. You're welcome."
But my heart was also moved.
It's not that he wants to eat for free. He is already a formal employee, earning more than 70 yuan a month, and also has other benefits.
But their village is going to set up a breeding farm, which means that chicken eggs and duck eggs will be needed in the future. Wouldn't it be easier to deal with them if we get to know them better?
That's why he agreed when He Zhigang asked him if he could give them a ride.
They were all young people and wanted to make friends, so they chatted about everything under the sun and quickly became familiar with each other.
Chu Hong deliberately asked Gu Ci: "What time is it?"
Gu Ci, who was originally talking about the agricultural station, subconsciously glanced at his watch: "It's almost six o'clock."
Then I thought, Chu Hong herself is wearing a watch, so there is no need for her to ask herself the time? Just look at her quickly.
Chu Hong looked at him and touched her belly.
Of course she could also ask to stop and eat.
But now between men and women, if a lesbian asks for a meal, it will make the man feel embarrassed.
Although she didn't agree with it in her heart, she needed help now, so it would be more appropriate for Gu Ci to speak up about this matter.
Gu Ci also reacted and said to the two people in front of him: "Let's find a restaurant to have breakfast first?"
Then he said to Zhao Yong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Brother Zhao, you guys are often on business trips, so you should have some idea of where the hotel is, right?"
Zhao Yong nodded: "Go a little further, turn right at the intersection ahead and there will be a state-owned restaurant."
When they arrived at the hotel, Gu Ci took the umbrella that He Zhigang lent him, jumped out of the car first, helped Chu Hong down, and then the two of them went into the hotel.
Maybe it's because it has been raining, the hotel is not full today.
Gu Ci glanced at the blackboard. The breakfast was very simple, with only shredded pork noodles, sauerkraut noodles, steamed buns and porridge.
He ordered four bowls of shredded pork noodles and rushed to pay for the food coupons.
Seeing that he insisted, He Zhigang did not refuse.
After all, he has not yet completed his apprenticeship, so he has to be considerate of Zhao Yong in daily life.
Zhao Yong thought Gu Ci was a good person, so while waiting for the noodles, he took the initiative to say, "Next time you go to Shunan or Shencheng, you can ask us."
"Our convoy goes there often."
"If you have anything to bring, we can bring it back for you."
Even if Gu Ci felt that it was not necessary, he would not say no, and smiled and thanked him: "Thank you so much, I finally met a noble person today."
After eating the shredded pork noodles, we got back in the car and set off.
It was still raining heavily outside, but it didn't affect me sitting in the car.
Moreover, a shed was built on the rear carriage for transporting goods, so now there is no need to worry about chickens, ducks and saplings.
