Back in the bedroom, Ling Shuang took off her coat and was about to lie down when Lin Yi stopped her: "Wait a minute." Then he picked up a kang broom and swept the bed sheet, smoothing out the edges and corners. After looking around for a long time, he said with satisfaction: "Okay, you can go to bed now."
Ling Shuang's eyes were rolling up her sleeves. She lay down with her back to Lin Yi and pulled the thin blanket over her entire body. "Be careful, half and half. Don't roll over and take up my space."
"Naive! I was afraid that you would become beastly and take advantage of me!" Lin Yi also turned around and lay down.
The two of them slept on the edge of the bed, one on the left and one on the right, leaving a large empty space in the middle.
"Hey, what should we do with Zhao Yongliang?" Ling Shuang said.
"He only went to two or three places when he ran away from home. I went to check and found him hiding in a dry well outside the village." Lin Yi replied.
"Fell into the well!" Ling Shuangteng sat up with a jolt, her voice rising with excitement. Ever since she took on this mission, she'd been wanting to teach that bastard Zhao Yongliang a lesson. She just hadn't found the time or a good reason to do it.
"The well is five meters wide in diameter but only one meter deep. Xiaotao can climb out by himself if he falls in. That is his secret base. At most, he will be starving and cold, but he won't die. Don't worry about him for now. I can't take care of him recently. It's good for him to suffer a little and be neglected." Lin Yi turned over and explained to Ling Shuang.
"I think it's okay, but you have to pay attention to the method and it's best not to use violence to communicate," Ling Shuang 'persuaded': "If fighting is not necessary."
......
The next morning, before daybreak, Lin Yi set out to buy a train ticket. At that time, railway transportation was far less developed than in later generations. When Lin Yi arrived at the train station, he found that there was only one train from the county to Beijing every three days. Fortunately, there was one at 3:30 in the afternoon that day. It took more than two hours to get from his home to the train station, which was definitely in time.
Lin Yi immediately bought three hard seat tickets to Beijing City. Without staying in the county town for long, he immediately returned to Beimutun. He first went to his father-in-law's house to inform his brother-in-law, and then rushed back home to bring Zhao Yongqiang. After that, the three of them met at a mountain product store not far from the county train station. They packed five large bags of mountain products and rushed to the train station just in time.
Here, Lin Yi, Cai Baogen and Zhao Yongliang, carrying large sacks, squeezed onto the train with great difficulty. The train did not speed up at that time, but fortunately the distance was not far, and if they were not late, they would arrive at Beijing Station at noon the next day.
The large hemp bag had a considerable volume and could not be stuffed under the train seat, nor did they dare to force it. There were many dried mushrooms and black fungus in the bag, which were afraid of being squeezed or pressed and would break easily. There was not enough space on the luggage rack above the seat for their things, and it was not appropriate to block the aisle where people were coming and going. Cai Genbao and Zhao Yongqiang had never encountered such a crisis. The weather in July and August was already hot and humid, and they were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Lin Yi took off his shoes and stepped on the seat to move out a few larger empty spaces on the luggage rack. Finally, there were two sacks that could only be placed farther away from their seats, but out of sight, so everyone was a little worried.
Yongqiang refused to return to his seat. He stood in the aisle, his sack of hemp hanging over his head. Lin Yi didn't try to dissuade him. He placed another sack on Yongqiang's seat and pulled out a large roll of thick brown paper from his bag. To the astonished eyes of the passengers nearby, he then pulled out a pair of scissors, glue, and other items.
"Brother, what are you doing? Are you making paper bags? Why are you doing this work on the train?" A woman in her fifties sitting opposite me asked curiously.
Lin Yi's hands kept moving, and he didn't stop talking: "Yes, sister, we are bringing these local specialties for our neighbors and colleagues. They all say that the wild delicacies here are good for the body. So many people asked me to bring them, so I took advantage of the fact that I have nothing to do now to make bags and distribute them to them, so that I won't be busy and have nothing to eat when I return to the office."
"You've brought a lot of these. I can see that you have a good relationship with others. And it's true that the hazel mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms here are no worse than those in the Northeast. My son is serving in the army, and he always asks me to send these to them." The eldest sister agreed.
"Really? Your son fired a gun himself in the army? He must be an official, right? You are so lucky." Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and started chatting along with his elder sister.
The elder sister shyly gathered the hair around her ears and straightened her back unconsciously: "Hey, not bad, he's a company commander, the kid is motivated by himself."
"Sister, you don't look much older than me, and your child has become a company commander? I can tell you've done a good job in educating him." Lin Yi quickly cut the roll of kraft paper.
"What education? His father and I can't read a single word. But my son is like me. Not only is he smart, but he's also very nimble. Even though he hasn't been to school much, he managed to get a junior high school diploma in a military literacy class." This elder sister usually loves to show off her son. Seeing Lin Yi talking so eloquently, she couldn't help but become more interested in the conversation.
As she spoke, she helped Lin Yi fold the paper bags. To be honest, the elder sister's hands were indeed dexterous. She learned it after watching Lin Yi fold two, and she was also very fast. When Lin Yi folded one, the elder sister folded three.
The two of them were talking animatedly, and Cai Genbao could hear them clearly from three or four rows away: "Is this brother-in-law such an outsider? He can have such a lively conversation with someone he doesn't even know."
Soon, Lin Yi had pasted hundreds of paper bags with the help of the older sister opposite and the girl next to her.
He put the paper bags under his seat, opened the sack on Yongqiang's seat next to him, and took out a gray cloth bag from it. The bag had several layers in it. He made it temporarily using the kitchen door curtain yesterday afternoon. Let's just treat it as a sample bag.
