After packing my luggage, I went downstairs to check out, then hailed a rickshaw and headed straight to the train station.
Since her hometown has already been notified, she will go there directly to avoid any further complications.
Trains in the steam engine era were not very comfortable, and she sat in a first-class seat in the back half of the train.
The locomotive in front was burning coal, and the chimney emitted a pungent smell all the way.
The passengers sitting in the front carriage are basically smoked to death. Generally speaking, in spring, summer and autumn, the third-class seats are in the front, the first-class seats are in the back, and the second-class seats and the dining car are in the middle.
In winter when the weather is cold, the first-class seats will be moved to the front, where they are less choking because of the private rooms.
These are what Jiang Cha was thinking about in the box. Nowadays, the only people who are particular about things when they go out are the rich.
It is a luxury for ordinary people to be able to buy a third-class ticket. Who would care about the choking smoke?
After all, the kerosene lamps we light at home at night are quite pungent, but you get used to it after a while.
Unlike those young masters and young ladies from rich families, they are all very particular and don't want to have any strange smell on their bodies.
Judging from her spending habits, she is considered a wealthy person.
She never compromises when she is away from home. You know, when she was still little Jiang, she did everything to save tuition.
What kind of hardships did you not endure at that time?
She had run errands for someone outside during the hottest days of summer, and she was so hot in the sauna weather of the capital that she stopped sweating in the end.
If the store owner hadn't been unable to bear it any longer and stuffed her with a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, she might not have had time to travel through time and space and report directly to the lower world.
She worked as a sorter at a courier transfer station during the coldest days of winter. She never had a chance to walk all day because there was always someone staring at her from behind and shouting at everyone to work faster.
It was so cold in the sorting warehouse that I couldn't even stretch out my hands. After a long time, my hands were covered with frostbite. Even so, at the final checkout, I still had to check the surveillance to see who was slacking off at work.
After a day of exhaustion, my legs are so tired that I can't even move a step and my fingers are shaking.
I easily reached the first place in the sports ranking on my phone. It was really hard at that time. I dreamed every day about where I could work to make money.
Later she went to a pig farm to do odd jobs, and she never worried about money again.
As her life got better and better, she naturally learned to enjoy life.
Looking out the window at those people chasing the train and trying hard to climb on, I was surprised to realize that living environment can really change a person.
Fortunately, she did not forget her roots. While enjoying life, she also did not forget to seek benefits for her comrades.
The train was shaking, and Jiang Cha stayed quietly in the carriage, enjoying her last bit of luxurious life.
Because when she returned to her hometown, she had to learn the hard-working and simple style of her comrades and resolutely refused to seek special treatment.
So every time I come to the restaurant on the bus to eat, I order two steaks to fill my stomach with more oil and water.
The weather in the northwest is dry, and the wind carries a fishy smell. A slightly stronger wind can easily make people covered in dust.
The station was crowded with people. People got out of the train with their luggage and went onto the platform, looking around for the person who would pick them up that the leader said they could identify at a glance.
But looking around, there are people everywhere. The difference is that when some people just get off the bus and are about to leave the station, you can only see the back of their heads, while when some people squeeze forward and are about to get on the bus, you can see their faces.
After observing for a while, she slowly followed the main group forward. With so many people around, she would easily be squeezed if she stood here all the time. It would be even more terrifying if a stampede happened again.
As soon as I got out of the station, I saw a man holding a big sign with a line of words written in English on it.
Curry Fish Balls
Jiang Cha looked at the things on the sign and didn't know what to say for a moment.
During the time when the big brother and his friends were staying in Mingzhu for recuperation, they often went to the nearby night market together. Their favorite was the curry fish ball restaurant there.
The grandma who makes fish balls also likes these the most because they can feed a large group of people, and she buys a lot almost every time she goes there.
Half of the sales from the old lady's cart came from them, until one day they arrived early and saw the old lady scraping her heels with the scissors she usually used to cut green onions.
I will never go there again, and I can't even bear to hear the words "curry fish balls".
Every time I hear it, I think of grandma’s weathered feet and her somewhat worn shoes.
No wonder the boss said she knew it at a glance. After all, besides them, who else would write this thing to pick someone up?
"Hello, I'm~~"
"Ginger tea? Are you a woman?"
A big head popped out from behind the sign. It was one of the boss's entourage, Comrade Rice, who had gone to the night market with her and eaten fish balls.
Looking at Jiang Cha with horror, those who didn't know her would think she had done something terrible.
"I've always been a woman! It's just that living alone makes it safer to pretend to be a man. Besides, you didn't ask!"
"I always, always thought you were a man, at that time~~"
He rubbed his hands embarrassedly before he finished speaking, then took her luggage and led the way with an embarrassed look on his face.
The old man didn't say anything, but she clearly remembered that when they were in Mingzhu, he often said that she was like a woman and not manly at all!
Only now that I saw that she was a girl did I feel embarrassed.
Did he think that changing the subject would suffice?
"Who said that when I return to your hometown, you'll treat me to mutton in a basin, mutton soup with steamed buns, and some spicy food? I came all this way and I'm leaving like this?"
Mingzhu's dishes are not large, but several people have told her a lot about the delicacies of the Northwest.
There are things like noodle bowls that are bigger than your head, steamed buns that take half an hour to break, and so on.
