Zhang Weiguo came to the school, found Ran Qiuye, and told her that he was leaving.
Telephones were not so common at that time.
We also use landline phones, as there are no telephones in many places.
It was impossible to talk on the phone.
"How many days will you be gone?"
“I don’t know about that yet.”
"At the speed of this train, it will take several days on the road."
"It will probably take a week to come back."
Today's trains are all green-skinned trains, which are extremely slow. It takes two days to travel such a long distance.
Zhang Weiguo arranged the household affairs and told Ran Qiuye that there were things that needed to be dealt with when he returned.
If you don’t want to stay in the courtyard, you can also stay at Ran’s father’s house for a few days.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the two little girls."
Zhang Weiguo made arrangements for Ran Qiuye and returned to the courtyard to prepare things. Fortunately, there was space, so he only needed to use a bag as a cover.
Especially as for food, there is no guarantee of sufficient supply on the train, so it is best to bring your own.
Zhang Weiguo prepared everything, came to the train station and waited for the train to depart.
At that time, there were no sleeper berths on the green-skinned trains. All seats were hard seats, and Zhang Weiguo had to sit in them for two days.
Zhang Weiguo got on the train and found a seat.
Fortunately, it is not a holiday now, so there are not many people on the train and it is not so crowded.
Sitting in the seat for a long time was very tiring, so Zhang Weiguo just lay down on the seat.
Now some people are tired, so they just spread out a piece of newspaper and lie down under their seats. Some people also lie down in the aisles.
The train stops at many small stations along the way, where you can get off to stretch your legs and buy some food at the store.
But at night, there are people lying all over the place. If you want to go to the toilet, you have to walk through the wall of people, which is quite difficult.
Zhang Weiguo lay on the chair and no longer had to sit to sleep.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, there are no tall buildings now, only some small bungalows.
The further we walked, the more dilapidated the houses became. They were all thatched huts, and they were not made of stones but mud bricks.
When you are hungry, eat something. When you are sleepy, put the bag under your head and sleep.
Just when Zhang Weiguo went to the toilet, he met Lou Xiaoe.
"Lou Xiao'e, why are you here?"
"Zhang Weiguo, where are you going?"
"This is not the steel mill's arrangement to go to the south to purchase supplies."
"I'm going to the south to visit relatives," said Lou Xiao'e.
Zhang Weiguo hadn't seen Lou Xiao'e since her divorce from Xu Damao. Now that he suddenly met her on the train, Zhang Weiguo was still very happy.
With acquaintances, the journey will not be so boring.
Zhang Weiguo still has a good impression of Lou Xiaoe.
Lou Xiao'e was a young lady from a wealthy family. She was very beautiful and, most importantly, she was rich.
"Are you going alone?"
"yes."
"You are so brave, aren't you afraid of encountering bad people?"
"You are the biggest villain."
Zhang Weiguo felt that he was being teased.
"Which car are you in?"
Lou Xiao'e was in the next carriage.
Zhang Weiguo took his things and went to find Lou Xiaoe. Who would want to sit with a bunch of men when there are beautiful women around?
There weren't many people in this carriage.
Zhang Weiguo and Lou Xiao'e sat together and took out some food from his backpack for Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e didn't hesitate and started eating.
As a girl, she didn't bring much luggage or food.
The food on the train tastes just average.
After chatting with Lou Xiao'e, I learned that this time she was going to her eldest brother's house.
Lou Xiao'e has two older brothers, but they are not born to the same mother.
Lou's father had two wives. The first wife gave birth to two sons. After the first wife died, Lou's father married Lou Xiao'e's mother and gave birth to Lou Xiao'e.
This time, Lou Xiao'e went to the south to visit her eldest brother's home.
The eldest brother is a small leader and also has certain connections.
"You must ask your elder brother to help me this time."
"Bring back some more food."
“This is easy.”
"My brother works at the customs and has confiscated a lot of grain. You can buy it at the lowest price."
"That's great. What else is there besides food?"
“A lot of things anyway.”
"You can buy all the ones you like. The price is not high."
Zhang Weiguo is full of expectations for this trip.
It's easy to get things done with someone. If Zhang Weiguo were to find such a place by himself, how could he find it?
You can only buy it from vendors, and the price will definitely be more expensive than this.
Zhang Weiguo counted the supplies in the space.
There are kilograms of wheat.
The rice weighs a pound.
There are kilograms of corn.
8,500 kilograms of flour.
Pound of corn flour.
A pound of cabbage.
catties of potatoes.
Radish pound.
268 chickens.
500 pigs.
216 rabbits.
350 sheep.
140 cattle.
Watermelon pound.
pound of apples.
Pound of strawberries.
There are 200 small yellow croakers and RMB in cash.
There are 20 large yellow croakers.
There are also dollars and yen.
With so many things, I should be able to buy a lot on this trip south.
One hundred thousand in cash can buy a lot of things.
Plus the ten thousand yuan given by the factory.
When the two of them sat together, Zhang Weiguo couldn't lie down and sleep.
Two people can only sleep sitting up.
While sleeping, Lou Xiao'e leaned her head on Zhang Weiguo.
Zhang Weiguo moved to make Lou Xiaoe sleep more comfortably.
