Chapter 284 Arrival in Beijing
Jiang Cheng spent two days and two nights on the train, and the train stopped for an extremely long time in the middle, probably to make way for another train.
Jiang Cheng had a smooth journey and arrived in Beijing safely.
Jiang Cheng got off the train and walked out of the train station, took a deep breath. The new battlefield was full of uncertainty.
This uncertainty excites her.
Jiang Cheng thought of what her mentor had said: You just can't sit still.
The instructor is right!
"Jiang Cheng-Jiang Cheng--"
Jiang Cheng, distracted, looked in the direction of the voice.
Is she so popular? Is it popular in Beijing?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Cheng saw the person holding the sign.
She walked over quickly and called out to the person holding the sign, "Comrade Zhao."
Comrade Zhao, who was holding the sign, looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise and asked, "Do you still remember me?"
"Of course, you were standing next to the cold leader the last time the train derailed."
Jiang Cheng's ability to recognize people made Comrade Zhao, who came to pick him up, instantly feel that the dozens of minutes of waiting was worth it.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's me! Leader Leng sent me to lead the way for you. Shall we go this way?"
"Thank you for your hard work. It's so cold."
Jiang Cheng expressed his gratitude, and Comrade Zhao politely said it was okay and it was all he should do.
But after hearing what Jiang Cheng said, he felt much better.
Comrade Zhao naturally doesn't have a car, but he is a native of Beijing and is very familiar with the roads.
Taking Jiang Cheng on the bus, the two arrived at the Foreign Trade Guesthouse at around 1:00 p.m. Comrade Zhao took Jiang Cheng in and arranged for her to stay.
"Comrade Jiang, there are many other training teachers this time. Two people share a room."
"Your room is on the second floor. I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to class. Then you'll be able to meet Leader Leng."
Jiang Cheng answered one by one and indicated that he knew.
Comrade Zhao left first because he had to pick up someone else.
Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to go up, and chatted with the front desk staff of the guesthouse as usual.
With a small bag of fried peanuts, Jiang Cheng and the receptionist chatted about everything from local specialties to knitting sweaters, and then from knitting sweaters to what delicious food is nearby.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Cheng took his luggage and went to the room on the second floor.
There are two rows of rooms, with toilets and water rooms at the end.
The room is not very big, about 20 square meters, with two beds on the left and right, a table and two chairs.
There is currently nothing on the other bed.
It seems that her roommate hasn't arrived yet.
Jiang Cheng put down his luggage, packed up briefly, went downstairs with a small cloth bag on his back, and headed towards a state-owned restaurant.
Fill your stomach first.
In the state-owned restaurant, Jiang Cheng bought a bowl of hand-rolled noodles with meat sauce.
She sat in the middle seat, eating while listening to the conversations of the people next to her to see if she could extract any useful information.
She did these things subconsciously.
In my previous life, when I followed my leader out, I always had to be alert and pay attention to details.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Jiang Cheng strolled around the area with his bag on his back for several laps, and by the way, he called Shen Que to report that he was safe.
She strolled around until almost four o'clock, when it was getting dark, and then she returned to the guesthouse.
When the receptionist at the guesthouse saw Jiang Cheng coming in, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're finally back. It's almost dark. You're a little girl, and you're so pretty. You have to be careful."
"Thank you, Sister Zhang. I understand. I'll be more careful next time."
Sister Zhang nodded with a smile and pointed upstairs, saying, "Someone's coming to your room."
"Oh? Then I'll go up and take a look."
Sister Zhang didn't say much. The people living here were all invited by foreign trade, so it was not for her to comment.
Jiang Cheng went upstairs, unlocked the door, and pushed it open.
A slightly hunched figure was making the bedding. When he heard the door open, he subconsciously shrank back and then looked towards the door.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Cheng, and I live in this bed."
Jiang Cheng pointed to the bed on the other side and introduced himself. The person making the bed was a white-haired old lady. Although the flesh on her face and neck has loosened, it is not difficult to tell that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.
At this moment, she nodded to Jiang Cheng and said in a low voice, "I'm here, my last name is Qi."
"Hello, Grandma Qi."
Jiang Cheng is very enthusiastic and his smile is like a little sun.
Grandma Qi opposite nodded helplessly and continued to make the bed.
Jiang Cheng did not continue to speak aggressively. It was obvious that her enthusiasm overwhelmed the other party.
Grandma Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Cheng behind her stopped talking.
She didn't dare speak carelessly for fear of saying something wrong.
She has experienced the price of saying the wrong thing.
Although I have been transferred back to Beijing from the countryside, who knows if I will ever go back?
When Grandma Qi thought of this, she felt confused.
The first night in Beijing started quietly.
At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Cheng heard the sound of someone turning over in the next room.
When she opened her eyes, she heard Grandma Qi talking, and it seemed like she was having a nightmare.
"don't want--"
"don't want--"
“I was wrong! I was wrong!”
Grandma Qi's words were full of fear. Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of something and put on his shoes and went downstairs.
She rubbed her hands to warm them up, and slowly massaged Grandma Qi's acupuncture points, saying softly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."
I don’t know if Jiang Cheng’s comfort worked, but Grandma Qi calmed down.
Jiang Cheng slowly let go of Grandma Qi's hand, stuffed his own hot water bottle back in, and finally covered the woman with the quilt.
After doing this, she returned to her bed.
Grandma Qi was lying on the bed, shedding tears in the dark night.
How could she not wake up?
For six years, she never had a good night's sleep.
The slightest movement could wake her up, let alone someone touching her.
I told myself not to trust anyone, but I was touched by one person's heartwarming behavior.
Grandma Qi was undoubtedly suffering from insomnia.
Jiang Cheng didn’t know that Grandma Qi wasn’t asleep. She slept little, but the quality of her sleep was really great.
She fell asleep almost in a second and woke up at her biological clock the next day.
When Jiang Cheng got up, he found that Grandma Qi had also gotten up.
"Morning, Grandma Qi."
Grandma Qi thought about what happened yesterday, returned the hot water bottle to Jiang Cheng and said, "Thank you."
"I'm just too hot."
Jiang Cheng took the hot water bottle and said nothing about what happened yesterday.
Grandma Qi didn't say much. After the two of them cleaned up, they took one side of the table and went about their business.
At eight o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the door and called the two to go downstairs to gather.
After Jiang Cheng and Grandma Qi packed up their things, they went downstairs together.
When Jiang Cheng went downstairs, she felt inexplicably confused about time and space. .
Is this still a guesthouse?
I'm afraid she has gone into a nursing home?
In front of me, the people standing in the lobby on the first floor have either gray hair or white hair, and they are either old men or old women.
She and Comrade Zhao who came to pick people up, including the 40-year-old lady at the front desk yesterday, the three of them stood out as being young.
"Qi Rong, you're back too!"
An old man below recognized Grandma Qi, and when Grandma Qi saw her acquaintance, she gave a genuine smile.
"Brother Cao!"
Next is the large-scale reminiscing scene.
A character like Jiang Cheng who can get along well in any place was squeezed into a corner for the first time and was useless.
