Chapter 128 Going to Beijing

There is no direct train from Shuangshan to Beijing. They have to go to Harbin first, and then take a train from Harbin to Beijing.

It takes 8 hours to take a train from Shuangshan to Harbin, and the ticket price is 2.6 yuan.

The four people boarded the train at noon, and it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Harbin. The train from Harbin to Beijing will not be available until the next morning. After the four people bought the tickets, they booked two rooms in a guesthouse near the train station and rested for a night.

The next day, the four people boarded the train to Beijing again.

Among the four people, three are officials and are qualified to buy hard sleeper. The hard sleeper ticket from Harbin to Beijing costs 13.8 yuan, and it takes more than 30 hours if there are no delays.

But it is snowing in the north now, and delays are common.

They set out from Harbin at nine in the morning on the 20th, and arrived in Beijing at four in the morning on the 22nd, taking nearly 45 hours.

Their conditions were considered very good, with hard sleeper tickets, allowing them to lie down and sleep on the train. They also had enough money and tickets, and every meal was hot food served in the dining car.

Even so, after two days of rattling on the train, Su Mo found it a bit unbearable. One can imagine how difficult it was for those who could only sit in hard seats.

In an era when transportation was too slow, it was really too painful to go on a long journey.

The leader had arranged for someone to pick them up, and the four of them were taken to a yard to settle down.

Not long after they rested, the little soldier who picked them up informed them that it was time to set off to meet the leader.

Su Mo had no official position, so she was not on the list of people to be interviewed. Su Mo quickly asked the little warrior if she could go out for a walk by herself.

She got an affirmative answer.

Lu Changzheng and Geng Changqing reminded Su Mo to be careful, and then followed the little warrior.

Su Mo packed up, changed her clothes, put on her bag, went out to ask people about the situation, and then went out for a walk by herself.

The yard where she settled should be the location of the second or third ring road in the future.

Before the end of the world, Su Mo's parents also took her to Beijing for a tour. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the future and the tall buildings, the current Beijing has a strong atmosphere of the times.

It's a pity that she didn't have a camera, otherwise it would be nice to take pictures and record it.

After walking around for a while, Su Mo went to the most eye-catching scene in Beijing today-the subway.

This subway was built in October 1969. It is a war preparedness project. Before January this year, it was not open to the public. Only visitors with tickets issued by relevant departments could enter. On

January 15 this year, the subway section from Gongzhufen to Beijing Road began trial operation, with a ticket price of 10 cents.

When Su Mo asked someone just now, an older sister strongly recommended the subway. When

she arrived at the subway station, Su Mo bought a ticket and went in to experience it for a while. The speed was naturally incomparable to that of later generations, but at this time, it was already a very high-end thing.

Su Mo strolled around by herself and didn't go back until four or five in the afternoon. When she got home, she found that the others had not returned.

It was not until around ten o'clock in the evening that the three of them returned. Lu Changzheng did not take the initiative to speak about the situation, so Su Mo knew that she could not tell her for the time being, so she did not ask.

In the next two days, the three men went out early and returned late, and Su Mo wandered around by herself.

She went to Tiananmen Square and walked around the outer area of ​​the Forbidden City. During this special period, because of the looting and smashing of the "Four Olds" team, the central government closed the Forbidden City to the public in order to protect cultural relics. I

also immersed myself in the hutong culture of the old Beijing. I

was almost caught as a spy by the highly politically conscious Chaoyang crowd. Fortunately, Su Mo carried a letter of introduction with her. After a good talk, they believed that Su Mo was a country bumpkin who came to Beijing.

She went to the Huada University she had always wanted to visit, and then visited the market in Jingshi, bought some things, and spent a huge sum of 28 yuan to buy a can of malted milk and ordered two roast ducks.

Although malted milk was considered unpalatable by later generations, it was a specialty product of this era after all, so Su Mo still bought a can and took it back for the old man to taste. Of course, she also wanted to taste it herself.

Roast duck is also a specialty of Jingshi, and since she was here, she had to take it back for the old man to taste.

On the evening of the 24th, when the three of them came back, they all had happy faces, and it was obvious that things went very smoothly.

When going to bed at night, Lu Changzheng hugged Su Mo with some guilt and said, "Wife, things are urgent, we have to go back tomorrow."

He wanted to accompany his wife to visit Jingshi, but he couldn't spare any time.

Su Mo waved her hand, "Things are urgent, I have visited all the places I should visit in the past few days." Mainly relying on bus No. 11, there are really limited places to visit.

"Let's come again in the future, and I will accompany you to visit again." Lu Changzheng said.

He has been to Jingshi two or three times and is more familiar with it than his wife.

On the 25th, Su Mo sent Lu Changzheng to get the roast duck early in the morning, then packed up his bags, and after joining a survey team, a group of people set off on the return journey.

At the same time, the 11th Regiment of the 4th Garrison Division of the Shenyang Military Region also sent a platoon of troops to the Hongqi Commune.

Fu Manhua and Su Yichen were already on the train heading north.

It took quite a lot for the two to go north.

Because someone was watching them, they first bought tickets to the south and got on the train. After the surveillance was led away, they got off the train in a hurry.

The tickets to the north were also bought by someone else, and in order not to attract attention, they bought hard seat tickets.

The mother and son sat on hard seats for two days to get to Beijing, and when they changed trains in Beijing, they bought a hard sleeper.

"When you marry a wife in the future, you must marry someone who is close to you. Don't look for someone from the north, otherwise it will be troublesome to go back to your parents' home in the future." On the train, Fu Manhua said to Su Yichen with a pale face.

"Otherwise, it's not easy for the in-laws to visit each other since they live in the south and north."

She is not old-fashioned. The main thing is that if the distance is too far, it may be possible to make the trip when they are young, but it will be difficult when they are older.

For Su Mo, if she marries here, she almost has to walk from the southernmost tip of the motherland to the northernmost tip.

She has to stay on the train for seven or eight days. She is old, how many times can she make the trip?

I am afraid she can only come this time.

Thinking about it, it is really a bit sad.

The old Su family has always been strong in men and weak in women. Su Mo is the only woman born in three generations, and she married so far away.

The key is that it is still cold in the north. She only wore two pieces of clothes in Guangxi Province. Now she has worn two sweaters, but she is still cold.

This is on the train. If she goes outside, she will freeze to death. I don’t know if the cotton coat she bought in Haishi is useful.

Su Yichen looked away with a guilty conscience. He has a crush on someone in the army, from Jin Province, and he is pursuing her.
