Lin Tian saw the soft-seat carriage of this era for the first time. He looked around and found that the soft seats of this era were not much different. It seemed that the seats were just softer and a little more spacious.
Lin Tian looked at the mother and daughter sitting opposite him. They were quite carefree. They fell asleep not long after they came over.
Lin Tian was about to get up and go to the toilet, this time he was really going to clean the toilet. When he was about to reach his seat at the end of the carriage, he saw a familiar figure, his leader Xie Tian.
Lin Tian originally thought that Xie Tian’s rank was high enough for a soft sleeper seat, but it seems that his rank is still a little short of that.
However, Lin Tian saw that he was sleeping with his head down, so he didn't go up to disturb him. There was no need to disturb someone's sweet sleep in the middle of the night. He would wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it.
However, it must be said that the lights in the soft sleeper car are brighter than those in the hard sleeper car. Of course, this may also be because the soft seat cars are all decorated in white.
After returning from the toilet, Lin Tian looked at the time. It was already past three in the morning, and he couldn't sleep. He took out a medical book from the space and flipped through it. Although he had read these books and memorized them, every time he flipped through them, he could gain some new insights, which was not something that could be achieved by just memorizing the book.
Slowly, slowly. As the train moved forward, the sky gradually brightened, a ray of sunlight pierced into Lin Tian's eyes, and some people in the carriage had already woken up.
Lin Tian stretched out his stiff body, raised his hand to check the time, it was already past six o'clock.
Lin Tian put down the book and walked to one end of the soft sleeper car, where there was a faucet. He washed his face with cold water, and then he smoked a cigarette at the interface of the car.
In fact, smoking is allowed in trains in this era. Maybe it's a habit formed in later generations, and another reason is that it's not appropriate to smoke when no one else is awake. Although I've been in this world for a long time, some habits are still hard to change.
When Lin Tian finished smoking and returned to his seat, he found that Li Ping and her daughter had woken up.
"Wake up." Lin Tian greeted the two of them.
"Yeah, yeah." It was obvious that Li Ping was still confused. Zhang Xin next to her looked at the confused Li Ping, pushed her, and then said.
"Go wash your face and wake up."
Li Ping stood up in a daze and almost fell down, but Lin Tian pulled her up.
"Thank you so much for last night, otherwise my mother and I would have been in trouble." Zhang Xin was obviously in much better spirits than last night. Maybe because of what happened last night and she was not fully awake, she was in a daze at that time.
"You don't have to be polite. People like that should be punished."
When Lin Tian was about to continue speaking, he saw Xie Tian also woke up and was stretching his body. Then he said to Zhang Xin, "Our leader seems to be awake. I'll go over and say hello."
Zhang Xin nodded.
"Xie Shushu, good morning." Lin Tian walked to Xie Tian's seat and greeted him softly.
Xie Tian hadn't seen Lin Tian yet, but he heard someone calling him and was a little confused for a moment.
I turned around and saw that it was Lin Tian who greeted me, "Xiao Lin, good morning! Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
Xie Tian thought Lin Tian came here specifically to see him.
"Nothing, I just came to say hello after seeing you wake up. I was also assigned to stay here last night."
Lin Tian finished speaking and was about to continue when Xie Tian saw someone passing by behind him.
"Sit down and talk," he waved his hand, motioning Lin Tian to sit opposite him, and then he spoke slowly.
"It's nothing, actually. The person sitting next to me last night was a thief, and I helped them catch the thief. The conductor was afraid that we would be retaliated by the thief's accomplices, so he arranged me and the people sitting next to me to the soft seat car," Lin Tian briefly explained what happened to Xie Tian.
"Good, good. It's worthy of praise. When you return to the unit, write a report and submit it." After Xie Tian understood what happened, he asked Lin Tian to write a report and submit it.
Lin Tian thought to himself, it is said that Xie Tian is more docile than Director Xin. If he goes back to submit a report for such a small matter, he will probably be commended. At that time, Lin Tian can at least be promoted to a higher level. Who wouldn't be grateful?
"Okay, thank you for the books." Lin Tian responded happily.
Then he chatted with Xie Shushu in a random manner, but Lin Tian didn't like staying with his leader all the time, so after a while he found an excuse to return to his seat.
"You're back!" Li Ping was very happy to see Lin Tian coming back and welcomed him.
"Well, I went over to say hello to the leader."
"How is it? The leader didn't say anything, right?" Li Ping asked worriedly.
"Haha, no, no, my boss knew what happened last night and praised me. Maybe I can even get a raise when I go back." Lin Tian replied happily. Although Lin Tian didn't care about these trivial things, a raise in salary was always something to be happy about.
Some people have started to eat breakfast. Lin Tian initially planned to continue eating his steamed bread and pickles.
But suddenly I heard a conductor selling meal coupons. At this time, the train sells meal coupons first, and then waits for the waiter who pushes the dining cart to come over to exchange the meal coupons for food.
Lin Tian planned to try the train meals of this era. It is said that the train stations of this era are no worse than big hotels.
But when Lin Tian saw the price list, he was still shocked. The train meals at this time were really rich, with toast, milk, cream soup, curry chicken rice, fried pork chops, braised pork, etc., as well as various drinks, beverages, and foreign wines, which were richer than those in ordinary restaurants in Beijing.
Lin Tian ordered a glass of milk and a piece of toast, the price was very reasonable, one dollar and eighty cents.
But when it came time to pay the bill, in order to express her gratitude, Zhang Xin refused to let Lin Tian pay for it herself. She had no choice but to let her pay.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Tian got his milk and toast. How should I put it? I was half full, and I can only say that the goods were genuine and worth the money.
However, Lin Tian found that ordinary rice with toppings was relatively cheap. A meat dish and a vegetable dish cost about 40 to 60 cents. Moreover, no food coupons were required on the train. All in all, it was cheaper than eating out.
Just when Lin Tian had just finished his meal, the train conductor from last night came over wearing two wide-brimmed hats to express his gratitude to Lin Tian. Through the interrogation of Xu Kun who was arrested last night, a small gang that stole on the train was busted.
Lin Tian was not very good at this kind of socializing, so at this time, Lin Tian called his tool Xie Shushu over.
It was obvious that they were all veteran bureaucrats. The leaders of both sides talked very harmoniously. Through joint efforts, both sides cracked down on the theft gang on the train and contributed their own strength to the development of the motherland and the people.
Finally, the conductor expressed his gratitude by saying that when they returned from the island city, he would let them sit in the sleeper car.
Lin Tian didn't know what Xie Shushu thought, but he was still very happy. It was very tiring to sit down on the train after more than 30 hours.
