Chapter 19



These days, taking a long journey is like going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

First of all, there is no railway station in the urban area where Chaoyang Village is located. She has to take a bus to Shanghai first, then take a train to H Province where her sister is, and then take another bus to H Province.

If you calculate carefully, it may take more than a week.

So she needed to prepare a lot of things, including a big bag of food.

Originally, she planned to buy ready-made food on the train. After all, deep down, she was more accustomed to the way of traveling in later generations.

In the past, whenever she went out, she always traveled light, preferably empty-handed.

But when her father learned of her plan, he slapped her on the head, saying that she was wasting money, and carefully analyzed with her the benefits of bringing her own dry food.

For example, everyone knows that food on the train is very expensive.

She was a single girl who bought ready-made meals every time she went out, which clearly told people she was rich and attracted too much attention.

It has to be said that this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the old policeman and the common people. As an inexplicable outsider, Tian Mi still has many habits to adjust and be cautious about.

At this point, she no longer needed her father to give any other reasons. This one reason alone was enough to make Tian Mi willing to endure the trouble of carrying so many bags.

Fortunately, she had very few things of her own, no skin care products, and only a small package of clothes for all seasons.

If you prepare some food, it won’t be too much of a burden.

But as to how and what to bring food, Tian Mi rejected his father's advice and decided to make her own arrangements.

That's why she's busy.

Because she decided to bring some dry food, she hurried to the beach after returning to the county guesthouse.

This time, Tian Mi's target was all on lobsters.

Because of a series of things, she was unable to eat the lobster in front of her, which made her think about it all the time.

Later, when she was staying with Aunt Cuilan, she felt it was not convenient for her to catch the lobsters, which were not accepted at the time, and give them away.

Now that I prepare it for myself, I can naturally eat what I like.

Early the next morning, Tian Mi went to the town police station again, carrying a large bag of lobster meat that she had packed.

What surprised her was that not only her father Tian Hongxing was there, but also Laidi, Pandi and Xiangyang were there.

Tian Mi was so happy that she thought she would not see anyone again before leaving.

The siblings gathered together and had fun for a while. She glanced around again and, not surprisingly, did not see Luan Hongmei.

"Well, your mother is sick. When I came out in the morning, she was still lying in bed." Guessing that the second girl was looking for his old wife, Tian Hongxing added dryly.

Tian Mi actually didn’t care about this, but was worried that appearing too aloof would arouse suspicion.

Now that her father had given her a way out, she took advantage of the situation and shook the bag in her hand: "Dad, I remember there is a place for cooking in your Public Security Bureau. Can I borrow it?"

Tian Hongxing was relieved that his daughter did not cry. He nodded repeatedly: "Why not use it? Dad has seasonings. What's in the bag?" As he said that, he reached out to take the heavy sack in the second girl's hand and led the way.

There are only three people in the police station, including the director, so it is naturally impossible to prepare a separate canteen for them.

However, the police often had to deal with various emergencies and were unable to eat on time, so they later compromised and applied to build a small kitchen.

Tian Hongxing opened the cabinet that belonged to him, and there were only a few things scattered inside.

Tian Mi took a quick look and saw that in addition to the basic seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there was also a piece of old ginger and a few garlic heads. The most eye-catching thing was the red chili sauce in a can.

My father likes spicy food, and so do his children, so every year we make a lot of chili sauce and store it at home.

Seeing the chili sauce, Tian Mi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that today's lobster had a better flavor: "I got some lobster meat, and I want to boil it with chili sauce and bottle it to take away. Dad, can you help me find some empty bottles?"

Tian Hongxing frowned at first, not understanding why his daughter would prepare shrimps, something no one would eat. Then he sighed when he heard about the canning bottle. Since the child had never been out of the house, he had to give her a few more instructions: "Can lobsters be eaten? Otherwise, ask your mother to prepare some for you."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them over: "Take these banknotes. There are only cloth coupons, enough to buy a set of clothes. Think of it as the wedding clothes your parents prepared for you. By the way, these coupons are not unified across the country. Buy cloth here and take it to the army to make it."

Speaking of this, Tian Hongxing felt a little upset. The children have grown up and are flying away one by one. The eldest girl has been away for eight years and has not come back.

Tian Mi suddenly felt a little bitter, and raised her hand to push the money back to her father: "I don't want the money, elder sister, elder sister has given me the travel expenses."

She was not lying. The elder sister really offered to transfer money to her, but she refused. However, that did not stop her from using it as a shield at the moment.

Tian Hongxing glared at him, "Your eldest sister is your eldest sister's, and she has no obligation to support you. I am your father, and it is my duty to support you. Besides, Yu girl is already married, and you are going to stay with someone else this time. It is already difficult to live under someone else's roof. Try not to use their money, or your brother-in-law will look down on you."

Hearing this, Tian Mi sniffed, lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tian Hongxing sighed and dropped her serious tone: "You found your partner in a hurry, and you are marrying far away, so I can't send furniture over. Yesterday I discussed with your mother and gave you 100 yuan and a few tickets. You can keep 50 yuan for your wedding, and the other 50 yuan is your travel expenses."

In fact, there is no need to be so particular about marrying off a girl. If a girl marries in the village, the most you would have to pay is a few dollars to build some furniture and buy her a set of clothes. That’s all. The total might be less than 20 dollars, which is already better than most families.

But his daughter found a son-in-law who was a group leader from a big city. Tian Hongxing didn't want to be criticized for selling his daughter for fame, nor did he want his son-in-law to look down on the second girl.

So no matter how painful it was, he still took out the money. One hundred yuan was almost equal to his two and a half months salary.

Of course, he said he had discussed it with his wife, but in fact he had never done so. If Hongmei knew about this, she would definitely make a fuss again.

This time, Tian Mi did not refuse and put the money in the inside pocket of his shirt.

There are many children in the family, and the expenses are high. In recent years, my father's salary has been the only source of income for the family. It is understandable that the family has not been able to save any money.

Relatively speaking, her savings should be more than that of her family, but she still felt a little uneasy on the surface. In her heart, she decided to send the money back after she settled down there.

Tian Hongxing was very pleased with her daughter's refusal, thinking that the girl had grown up and become sensible. She muttered a few more words before turning around and leaving the kitchen.

"Second sister, just take this money from dad. You will need it many times in the future." Pan Di thought her elder sister was embarrassed to accept the money from dad, so she tried to persuade her. In her opinion, it would be better to give it to the second sister than to leave it to her adopted elder brother.

Lai Di didn't say anything. She never participated in the adults' conversations. She just quickly poured the lobster meat from the bag into the basin and washed it.

The little guy Xiangyang also squatted aside to help.

Seeing this, Tian Mi chuckled, suppressed his complicated emotions, and picked up the bucket beside him to fetch water.

"Third sister, is this really lobster meat? Are lobsters this big?" Lai Di placed the cleaned lobster on the stove and watched her eldest sister cut it into small pieces with a knife. She expressed her doubts, as she had seen lobsters before.

Once summer comes, there are many of them in Chaoyang River, ponds and ditches.

Some naughty kids would catch it and play with it, but no one ever eats it, and it's not this big.

Tian Mi quickly cut up a large pot of lobster meat, prepared some simple seasonings, and motioned to Lai Di to light the fire before replying, "Don't worry, I've eaten this before. This is a large shrimp from the sea. I was lucky to have it for sale at a discount. It's delicious. You'll know how it tastes when it's cooked."

Lobster meat is delicious even if it is blanched with sauce, let alone when Tian Mi braises it in spicy sauce.

After the onions, ginger and garlic were sautéed, Tian Mi poured half of the lobster meat into the large iron pan and stir-fried it.

Since there was no rice wine, Tian Mi poured some of her father's treasured white wine to remove the fishy smell, and then added chili sauce, soy sauce, and a few pieces of old rock sugar that Pan Di had just bought.

After she stir-fried it for a few times and added water until it was just level with the lobster meat, she closed the pot and said, "Laidi, high heat!"

Next, whether it is edible or not, whether it tastes good or not, there is no need for Tian Mi to say anything more.

Just look at the younger brothers and sisters staring into the pot because of the smell, secretly swallowing their saliva from time to time, and you will know how tempting the taste is.

Xiangyang was still young, so he couldn't help but exclaim: "Second sister, you smell so good!"

Tian Mi smiled and said, "I'll give you a big bowl later."

Hearing this, Xiangyang's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head: "No, sister will eat on the way."

Tian Mi's expression softened: "Don't worry, sister has specially prepared some for you, you will be full."

This not only made Xiangyang smile, but also made the sisters Pandi and Laidi look forward to it.

The lobster meat does not need to be boiled for a long time, and the juice is quickly absorbed.

Tian Hongxing just came back with a few plastic jars, and as soon as she entered the door she exclaimed, "What a nice smell."

As he spoke, he handed a few plastic jars to his daughter: "Use these to store vegetables. Those glass bottles are easy to break and are very heavy. These are bubble gum jars that Dad asked someone for at the supply and marketing cooperative. Each one should be able to hold two or three pounds of food."

Tian Mi took it and squeezed it. It wasn't very thick, but it was enough to hold the lobster meat. She asked Pan Di to turn off the fire first. The plastic jar could not withstand the heat, so she had to wait until the food cooled down before putting it into the jar.

But everyone can have a meal first.

The wild lobster meat tasted much more chewy and tender than the artificially cultivated ones in later generations. It was so delicious that Tian Mi almost swallowed his tongue.

For the other members of the Tian family who had never eaten lobster meat, this food, different from pork or fish, could be made delicious with the simplest seasonings. They had missed it for so many years, which was a complete waste of food.

Especially the lobster meat weighing several kilograms, which is cut into pieces of meat that are three or four centimeters long and wide. A mouthful of meat makes your mouth full, which makes you feel more satisfied.

Just when the family of five was so exhausted from eating that they could barely lift their heads, the director and Han Wei, who had been out on business, came back one after another.

Tian Mi was a natural person and knew how to behave when it came to her father's leaders and colleagues. She quickly filled a bowl with food from the pot and invited them to eat together.

In the end, all the lobsters in the first pot were eaten up, and even the remaining soup was used to soak rice.

After the meal, everyone sat on the stools with their hands on their stomachs to rest. It was even difficult for them to get up and take a walk.

The director looked about the same age as Tian Hongxing. They had been colleagues for decades and had a good relationship. He couldn't help but envy her: "Old Tian, ​​you are so lucky. Mi Yatou's cooking skills are amazing. Who would have thought that lobster could be so delicious. By the way, does Yatou have a boyfriend? I..."

Tian Hongxing's face lit up when his daughter was praised. Just as he was about to say something modest, he realized that the director's words were starting to sound off. He interrupted her hastily, "She has a boyfriend, she has a boyfriend! Her eldest sister found one for her."

The director smacked his lips regretfully, looking at the beautiful girl sitting opposite him who was just smiling generously. He felt even more sorry for her because he wanted to introduce her to his nephew.

His nephew caught up with the last batch of college students and graduated from a regular police academy. In recent years, he has established himself in the county public security bureau and has a bright future.

It’s just that it’s hard to find a partner and I have very high standards. I’m already 29 years old this year.

Originally, he had not thought about the Tian family. After all, she was a rural girl and had no job, so it seemed that they were not a good match. In addition, he had not seen Mi girl for several years.

Who would have thought that when I saw her again today, the skinny little girl had grown into a beautiful woman, and she also had amazing skills. She also seemed generous and calm. What a good candidate for a wife.

Unfortunately, I spoke up too late, so it's normal that a good girl has been picked up early.

Seeing that Tian Mi had already started to clean up the dishes with his brothers and sisters and waited for them to leave, the director was still unwilling to give up. He handed a cigarette to Tian Hongxing and asked in a low voice: "Old Tian, ​​tell me the truth, is Mi girl really engaged? Which family is she engaged to? Ahem, this concerns the children's lifelong happiness. As elders, we must find out the character of the man. I know a lot of people."

Hearing this, Han Wei, who was sitting in the back drinking tea, also pricked up his ears quietly.

Tian Hongxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew what the old man was planning, but the girl had already made an appointment with Lou Tuan, so how could he go back on his word?

Originally, he didn't intend to say more about Lou Tuan's affairs, but he knew the director, who was always fond of asking questions.

Rather than waiting for him to annoy me every day, I might as well take the initiative to confess: "I'm really engaged. My eldest son-in-law introduced me to you."

At this point, he lowered his voice again: "The girl hasn't gotten married yet, so don't tell anyone. The other party is a college student, a regimental commander, from Beijing. Mi girl will join the army in two days."

A series of blessings came down, completely extinguishing the director's thoughts of prying people away.

Facing his old friend, Tian Hongxing complained about his dissatisfaction: "It's just that the age is not right. I think it's too old."

The director, who had been feeling depressed, straightened his back immediately. He thought that since he was at the regimental level, which was equivalent to the deputy secretary of the county party committee, he must be quite old. With this in mind, he regained his confidence: "How old is he?"

Tian Hongxing said disdainfully: "I'm 29 years old."

Director: “.”

After returning to the guesthouse, Tian Mi only had time to rest before the time agreed with her sister arrived.

Good news, I got the sleeper ticket for three days later at 2pm.

".Someone will pick you up at the bus station. It's your brother-in-law's former comrade-in-arms. He's from Shanghai and will take you to the train station."

It was the first time for the original person to travel far away, but it was not the case for Tian Mi. She had been abroad many times, and basically always alone, so she was not afraid of traveling far away at all.

But the eldest sister was worried, so she agreed to all the questions and then asked some questions that might be encountered along the way.

".You can set off a day earlier so you have more time. Otherwise, if the car breaks down on the way, you may miss the train. You can then rest at the Shanghai Guesthouse. If you have enough time, you can even go shopping there. Shanghai is very prosperous." Thinking of the time when her husband took her to a big shopping mall when they passed by Shanghai eight years ago, Tian Yu felt that she had gained some experience even though she didn't buy anything. Naturally, she also hoped that her sister could broaden her horizons.

Tian Mi was also very curious about the Shanghai market in the 1970s, so he responded, "Okay, I'll try to go there as early as possible."

"It's up to you to decide. But after you arrive in Shanghai, you have to call us to report your safety. Your brother-in-law and Lou Tuan have been very busy lately. Otherwise, we could just let either of them pick you up." Tian Yu chattered habitually.

But don’t do that. No matter whether it’s her brother-in-law or Lou Tuan, Tian Mi doesn’t want anyone to pick her up. It’s too embarrassing.

So she changed the subject and discussed with her sister some more about the various accidents that might occur on the road before hanging up the phone.

After returning home, Tian Mi was worried that she would forget, so she took out a pen and paper to make a strategy .

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Tian Mi was packing clothes into a snakeskin bag in the house. She was wondering whether to take the risk and go to the black market to buy a cloth bag when someone knocked on the door.

In broad daylight, she opened the door directly.

When she saw who was standing outside the door, she said in surprise, "Dad, why are you here so early?" As she said that, she quickly moved aside and motioned for her father to come in.

Tian Hongxing received a call from Eryatou at work in the morning and rushed over on her bike.

After entering the house, he put a 22-inch rattan box on the ground and said, "I guess you don't have a box, so use this to pack your clothes. A small shoulder bag will be enough."

This is really like sending a pillow when you are sleepy, it is a great help.

In this era, the most valuable things are leather suitcases, and even canvas bags are more upscale than rattan ones.

But Tian Mi prefers this kind of handmade box, which is beautiful and not eye-catching. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad!"

Tian Hongxing waved her hand: "Have you packed everything?"

"I don't have much, just a few clothes."

"What time does the bus leave tomorrow morning?"

Hearing this, Tian Mi quickly searched his pocket and handed the ticket he had bought in the morning to his father.

Tian Hongxing glanced at it and gave it back to her daughter: "I will bring Pan Di and Xiang Yang to see you off tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Tian Mi paused while taking the clothes and looked up: "What about Lai Di?"

"When your father was still a 20-year-old boy, it was difficult for him to carry two children on a bicycle." Tian Hongxing patrolled the room and made sure there were no safety issues before sitting on a stool and pouring himself a glass of water.

"Did you come here by bicycle?"

"Yeah, it was very fast. We arrived in an hour and a half."

Tian Mi glanced at her father's graying temples, pursed her lips and said nothing, then continued to take clothes out of the snakeskin bag and put them into the box.

After seeing his father off, Tian Mi had different ideas because of the rattan box.

She didn't know how many years it would take her to come back from the north, so she made the longest plan.

So, after hesitating for a while, she ran to the beach again and brought back the small yellow croaker and gold bars.

Tian Mi wrapped the gold tightly with clothes. After there was no sound of shaking, he pressed it to the bottom of the box. Then he put clothes and a sealed jar of lobster meat on it. He also put towels and other toiletries in bags in there. He didn't close the lid until the box was full, and then he lifted it up to shake it to feel the weight.

Well, probably about 50 or 60 kilograms.

Considering that she is now much stronger than in her previous life, it is still a bit heavy.

But it's acceptable.

Tian Mi had thought carefully about the gold matter. If she donated it locally, even in the name of someone else, there was a high possibility that Liu Xiangdong would find her.

This is also why she just wanted to hide it at the beginning instead of handing it over.

But this time I'm going to the north, more than 2,000 kilometers away. If I wait for a good opportunity, I can hand it over to the country. It's worth hundreds of thousands of RMB.

Of course, she also had her own selfish motives. Generally, in such situations, the organization would give some rewards, and she wanted to fight for it.

Early seventies.

Most of the bus stations in the county town are still brick and wood structures.

It is said that this bus station has a history of nearly twenty years.

Tian Mi felt that it must be real because it was so shabby.

They calculated the time and arrived twenty minutes early.

How could Tian Mi dare to give it to him? Wouldn’t its weight be exposed?

So, she sincerely refused her father's help, and instead handed him the package containing new cotton clothes and trousers, then glanced at Pan Di, motioning her to come over and help.

Although Pan Di was confused, she knew that her sister had secrets, such as the fact that she could make money, so the little girl didn't ask any questions and helped her sister carry the things skillfully.

田红星不知道其中的官司,只以为闺女舍不得他这个老父亲,想着几件衣服也不重,便乐呵呵的在前面领路。

等父亲转过身去,盼娣绷着的小脸立马皱成了包子。

好重!

排队上车后。

田宓的位置靠前,是第二排靠窗。

她将箱子放在脚底下,又将包裹放在腿上,才趴在窗口让家人回去。

见姑娘真的坐在了车里,田红星才有了孩子要离开的真实感,心里突然就空落落的,眼底也盛满了担忧。

如果经济允许,他更想亲自送二丫头去。

只是,他跟过去,来回就要小一百块,家里拢共就只剩下百来块钱,得留着应急。

说不定还要安排老大结婚,哪一样都要钱,他有六个孩子,不能不顾其他几个。

但他又实在担心,哪怕姑娘把脸涂黑了。

许是无所适从,田红星忍不住就絮絮叨叨起来:“.在大姐夫家勤快点,眼里要有活,还有你要相看的那男的,好好瞧瞧,人品最重要知道不?他那么大年纪了,咱也不算高攀,别一开始就把姿态放的低低的”

这些本应该是作为母亲的栾红梅告知女儿,此刻离别在即,田红星也不觉得有什么不对,唠叨个没完。

田宓一直认真听着,哪怕有些观念她不认同,在这种时候,也没有丁点儿不耐烦。

盼娣跟向阳也垫着脚,趴在车窗上,带着哭腔,时不时的插上两句。

离别最是伤感,渐渐的,被情绪感染的田宓也有点控制不住心底发酸,瘪了瘪嘴,要哭不哭的模样 好在司机跟检票员来的很快,打断了她的悲伤。

两人先是黑着脸将趴在窗口送行的人全部撵走,才开始检查乘客们的车票。

长途客运属于国营单位,检票员态度相当不好。

但田宓不在意,她还沉浸在离愁中。

所以,查到她的时候,她配合的将票给人看了后,就又往窗外看,企图找到父亲与弟弟妹妹。

只是这一次,她张望了好一会儿,直到汽车启动出发,也没能看到熟悉的身影。

走了吗? 田宓有些失望的将脑袋倚靠在玻璃上。

不想才颓丧没几秒,汽车刚刚开出车站,她就听到了盼娣跟向阳的声音。

“二姐!”

田宓猛的抬头看向窗外。

车子刚起步,开的还不快,她一眼就看到了站在车站大门边上,向着她挥手的父亲跟弟弟妹妹。

原来他们还没有走!

这份认知,喜的田宓也抬起手,隔着玻璃朝他们挥着。

无奈汽车渐渐加快速度,饶是田宓一直勾着脑袋往后看,家人的身影也变得越来越小。

突然,隐隐约约的,她仿似听到了弟弟妹妹的嚎哭声,也看见了从来要面子的田红星抹了下眼睛。

田宓缓慢坐正身子,闭眼仰头靠在椅背上,只觉心里头的酸涩感,压的她几乎喘不过气来。

不能哭,脸上的妆不能哭花了.呜呜 “呕”

西天取经哦.不,去往北方寻找男菩萨的第一天。

田宓就败在了摆渡船只上。

谁能想到,在水下能够自由呼吸,可以跟龙虾赛跑的她,居然晕船?!

前世她也没有这个毛病啊!!! 唯一庆幸的是,晕船的时间,拢共只有一个小时。

当汽车开上岸的那一刻,田宓热泪盈眶,虔诚感谢各方菩萨。

过了长江,没过多久,汽车就驶进了沪市。

进了沪市后,一路上不停有乘客下车。

大姐夫的战友会在汽车站接她,所以田宓一直坐到了终点站。

沪市到底是沪市。

哪怕是七十年代初,瞧着也是气派繁华的。

不过田宓这会儿没有心思到处看,她可没忘记有人在外面等着自己。

于是也只张望了大概的方向,便拎着一个死沉的箱子跟大包裹,急急忙忙往出站口走。

车站门口,站着两个身姿挺拔的男人。

其中一个男人三十出头,穿着考究的立领中山装,手上举着写了‘田宓’名字的牌子,视线在不断涌出来的人群中逡巡着。

“哥,人怎么还没出来?那村姑不会不认识路吧?”身旁长相算的上俊秀的白面青年等的有些不耐烦了,他爱漂亮,穿的单薄,站在这里一会儿就冻得脸都快紫了。

“闭嘴!”男人黑着脸训斥:“那是我战友的妹妹,也就是我的妹妹,给老子尊重点,是我让你过来的吗?要是再让我发现你对人家有一点不尊重,你就自己走回去。”

俊秀的男人被家里惯坏了,唯独怕这个大哥,这会儿哪怕心里再是不满,面上也不敢表现出来了。

大哥对那个战友比对他还好,整天就知道凶他,要不是好奇大哥好友的妹妹长什么模样,他才不会跟过来遭罪呢。

当然,如果他知道要接的人是小姨子,而不是妹妹,定然不会跟着过来 这厢田宓顺着人流出来的时候,一眼就看到了写着她名字的牌子。

她的视线最终落到了举着牌子的男人身上,直直朝着他走过来,笑问:“您好,请问是潘跃同志吗?”

潘跃放下手,不着痕迹打量眼前这个眼神清亮,故意将脸抹黑的小姑娘,也笑了:“是田宓吧?叫我潘大哥就好,我是你姐夫的战友。”说着,男人又指了指身旁强忍着不耐的弟弟:“这是我弟弟潘栋。”

田宓再次笑着打招呼:“你们好。”

简单问好过后,潘跃伸手接过大的那个包裹,又示意弟弟接藤箱。

潘栋不如哥哥眼尖,完全没看出来田宓遮掩了样貌,虽然有些失望这姑娘乌漆嘛黑的,一点也不漂亮,打扮的更是土气,甚至在心里吐槽果然是村姑。

但表面上该有的礼貌还是有的,他立马朝着女孩儿伸手。

田宓侧了侧身体,在两个男人投来讶异目光时,轻笑解释:“这个箱子比较重,我还是自己来吧。”

她这是实话,却不想潘东直接炸了,不管不顾的伸手就去夺,嘴里还嚷嚷:“能有多重?我就是长得白,又不是真小白脸,力气还能没有你一个女孩儿大?”

话音落下,成功抢到藤箱的潘栋憋红了脸。

田宓憋笑:“要不.还是给我提吧?”

潘跃见状也伸手欲接:“很重?给我吧。”

潘栋咬牙拎着箱子往外走,留下格外坚强,几乎从牙缝中挤出来的两个字:“不!重!”

“.”

方才见到潘家兄弟两人的气质与穿着,田宓就猜到他们的经济条件应该不差。

但这会儿坐在吉普车里,她还是有些意外的。

这个年代,能开汽车,哪怕不是小轿车而是吉普,也是少有的有钱人了。

潘跃开着车,许是担心田宓尴尬,一路上都主动跟她聊着天。

都不是什么重要的话题,但是你来我往之间,两人还是能观察出对方的大概性子。

然后齐齐不着痕迹的松了口气。

很好,不是难搞的类型 到了离火车站最近的招待所,田宓拿出介绍信订了间房。

潘跃很是负责任,一直将田宓送到房间,在征得了她的同意后,又将房间检查了一番,确定安全无误,才道:“我在隔壁国营饭店订了饭,你收拾一下,出来吃饭吧?”

田宓难为情:“应该是我请你们吃才是。”

潘跃朗笑:“你是陈刚的妹妹,就等于是我的妹妹,这么客气做什么?再说,以后有的是机会让你请回来。”

田宓知道人家说的是客气话,却在心里记下明天逛街的时候,看看有什么不要票的,买些礼品回给人家。

等到了大姐那边,摸清楚了情况后,再想办法给潘家寄一些当地特产。

理明白思路,秉承着债多不愁的二哈心态,田宓不再矫情,点头愉快的应了下来。

等潘跃去了大厅后,她立马拿起脸盆去了公共洗漱间洗了脸。

将身上故意穿的打了补丁的旧袄子换下,又将两个辫子斜编成一个坠在身前,拢共只花了三分钟左右就出去与潘家兄弟汇合。

再次见到田宓时,潘栋震惊过后立马爆红了脸,然后又后悔起之前的态度,脸色一时变化的厉害。

就连稳重的潘跃都惊了一下,然后一言难尽问:“你觉得你跟你大姐像吗?”

田宓莫名,却还是从记忆中扒拉着大姐的模样。

无奈原身已经八年没见过田雨了,只隐约记得大姐提过很多次,说她们姐俩长的像,于是田宓老实点头:“应该挺像的。”

Pan Yue pulled the corner of his mouth. Very good, it turns out that it’s not just his sister-in-law whose eyesight is bad, but even her sister’s eyesight is not good.

He felt that apart from the eyes, there was nothing similar about the entire face.

While eating, Pan Dong was particularly silent and shy.

Tian Mi didn't think much about it and just chatted with Pan Yue. Thanks to his later knowledge, the two of them had a good chat.

After a dinner that was enjoyable to both hosts and guests, the Pan brothers sent Tian Mi back to the hotel and invited her to go out for a walk the next day before saying goodbye and leaving.

After getting in the car, Pan Yue didn't rush to start the car. Instead, he looked at his brother and ruthlessly exposed his shyness: "Don't even think about it. Tian Mi went to her eldest sister's house this time to marry her partner. She is much better off than you."

Pan Dong didn't expect that Tian Mi actually had a boyfriend. Although he was a little disappointed, he was even more angry at his brother's belittlement: "How am I worse than others?"

Hearing this, Pan Yue started the car, and after the car drove out, he snorted coldly: "Not as good as you, he is three years older than you, and he just got promoted to the head of a regiment. He has only made countless military achievements and fought on a few battlefields. Oh, yes, he was also hit by bullets and injured a few times. Compared with you, Young Master Pan, he is not far behind."

Pan Dong The next day.

Pan Yue came with his wife and warmly hosted Tian Mi on a tour of Shanghai in the 1970s.

There were many things here that didn't require a ticket, so Tian Mi couldn't stop buying them all and bought a lot of food and daily necessities. In addition to the gifts to thank Pan Yue and his wife, she also bought a whole bag, which cost her more than 300 yuan in total.

Although most of them were for her three little nephews, she also had a lot for herself.

She didn't think so when she bought it, but she wanted to sell it several times afterwards.

So expensive!

"Old Lou, your young wife is coming over. I'll keep an eye on her for you. The girl will be on the 2 o'clock train this afternoon." Knowing that Old Lou had returned to the team, Zhou Jianshe ran all the way to bring the first-hand good news to his comrades, but he didn't expect to meet the man walking out of the office.

Lou Luhui has been thinking about this matter in his heart.

The rescue operation in the mountains was difficult and dangerous. A group of people wandered around in the mountains for three or four days before they found a few children. Unfortunately, only one of the four children was saved, and he suffered severe frostbite and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

The soldiers who went in with him also suffered from frostbite and varying degrees of snow blindness. They had to rest for four or five days before they recovered.

It was too late to go to Tian Mi's hometown to pick him up now, but Lou Luhui was still worried and wanted to go forward to meet him.

When he saw Zhou Jianshe, he patted his old friend on the shoulder and said, "You came just in time. I have already asked for leave from Wang Lu. We are leaving today. Calculating the time, we should be able to make it two days ahead. You can take me to the train station later."

Zhou Jianshe was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted. He clapped his hands, making a "pa!" sound, and praised: "Lao Lou, you are great. This is to set your sights on the goal and move forward courageously! If you have any other experience, please share it with me so that I can learn from you."

Lou Luhui glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhou Jianshe. "What do you mean?"

"You don't have a partner."

“.”

The train departing from Shanghai to Province H is still powered by a steam locomotive.

Here, Tian Mi saw another vivid picture of all kinds of life.

In the crowded carriage, many people were crowded, sitting or lying in the walking aisles.

In every carriage, there were always a few people who took the lead in singing, encouraging a group of tearful educated youth who had gone to the countryside to sing red songs.

There are also those who arrive at the temporary boarding and alighting station, climb out the window and throw in packages.

Some people even get on the bus first and buy their tickets later, competing for seats with people who have the same tickets.

Of course, these scenes basically took place in the hard seat carriage.

Tian Mi was sent on the train by the brothers Pan Yue and Pan Dong, who personally settled her in the carriage.

Pan Yue knew the train conductor and the two seemed very familiar with each other.

After the train departed, thanks to the care of the conductor, the crew would come to check on us several times a day, and would occasionally bring us some delicious snacks and fruits.

The warm care of the crew members made life on the train much better than she had imagined.

At least, the people in the nearby carriages looked at her politely.

In this way, Tian Mi accompanied the sound of "clang--clang" every day, either lying down to sleep, or sitting to read books and enjoy the scenery, and also chatting with several people in the same compartment . In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day.

When the train stopped at a big station again, many people chose to get off the train to get some fresh air.

Big stations are not like temporary boarding and alighting points, so the stay time is longer.

Every time at this time, Tian Mi would follow the flow of people.

But she didn't run far, the wicker box placed upright on the window was always within her sight.

This time it was still two days’ drive to our destination, and the temperature got colder the further north we went.

There was heating on the train, so Tian Mi only wore a thin cotton jacket made of navy blue fabric with light blue plaids.

It was not the popular short double-breasted jacket. She specially asked a tailor to make an A-line version for her. She wore a pair of slim-fitting trousers bought in Shanghai. This outfit was particularly suitable for her temperament.

It was just so cold outside that she felt a little overwhelmed after just a short while.

So she did not even bother to untie her long hair that she wanted to re-braid, and just let it spread out in seaweed-like curves and ran into the carriage.

But at this moment, a noisy, restless sound of inhaling suddenly came from not far away.

Tian Mi looked over subconsciously, and the first thing he saw was a large area of ​​military green.

However, when her eyes met a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes like obsidian, she gradually opened her eyes wide.

Stand tall!

Thin waist and long legs!

Cold and handsome!

Isn't this a male Bodhisattva?
