Only when she could no longer see Xu Tiansheng did Su Jinyue wipe the tears from her face and turn to walk towards the location where the train ticket number was displayed.
When he got there, he realized it was a sleeper berth and smiled. Sleeper berth tickets weren't so easy to buy these days; you had to provide proof. Fang Zhihong's identity was indeed not simple.
When I walked into the berth room, I saw that there were two beds in total, both upper and lower bunks, for a total of four berths. Three of the berths were already occupied, and only the upper bunk was empty.
Su Jinyue glanced at the number on the train ticket and found that the lower bunk was the bed on her ticket. She looked at the big man who was sleeping soundly on the bed and the smell of his stinky feet that could be smelled through the quilt, frowned, and threw her package on the upper bunk.
"Girl, are you going to Beijing to work?" The middle-aged woman on the lower bunk opposite asked Su Jinyue with a smile while knitting a sweater in her hands.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded slightly. She didn't want to explain anything more to the other party.
The young man on the upper bunk turned over and sat up upon hearing this. "My cousin is in Beijing now. I heard the salary there is very high, sometimes he can get a hundred a month. I'm going there this time to stay with him."
The middle-aged woman put down the yarn she was knitting, reached out to pick up the water on the table and took a sip, "My husband is also in the capital. It's much better there than our county town. The food and daily necessities there are things we can't find here." Her husband does business in the capital. I heard that he has bought a house. She didn't tell him this time because she wanted to give him a surprise.
"That's right. My cousin said that there are many rich people in Beijing. They all have their own cars. It would be great if I could have one too." The young man said with envy.
"Brother, as long as you work hard, you will always have it in the future. For example, my husband had nothing when he went to Beijing, but now he has bought a house here."
The middle-aged woman and the young man became more and more excited as they talked, their tone full of envy and yearning.
Su Jinyue put her things away, picked up the thermos on the ground, and walked towards the water room.
"Girl, are you going to get some hot water? Please help me get a bottle." The middle-aged woman picked up the bottle of hot water on the ground, walked up and handed it to Su Jinyue with a smile.
Su Jinyue turned around, took the bottle of kettle and walked outside.
There were many people getting water in the water room, and the passengers waiting for water had already lined up outside.
Su Jinyue walked forward and followed a middle-aged man.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, it was finally Su Jinyue's turn. Just as Su Jinyue was about to step forward, the middle-aged man holding the kettle in front of her suddenly slipped and rushed straight towards her.
Su Jinyue was about to dodge and help the middle-aged man. After all, this bottle was filled with boiling water. If it was spilled on her, the consequences would be disastrous.
A hand pulled her from behind and made her take a few steps back. At the same time, the man reached out to support the middle-aged man who was about to fall.
The middle-aged man stood firm and thanked the young man who helped him up repeatedly: "Thank you so much, young man! If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me if I had fallen down."
"You're welcome." The young man smiled faintly, glanced at Su Jinyue, and walked towards the carriage.
It was only when the young man turned around to look at her that Su Jinyue could see his appearance clearly. He was very handsome, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, giving him a scholarly and elegant temperament.
Su Jinyue withdrew her gaze, walked forward to get two bottles of boiled water, and walked towards the sleeper room where she lived.
Before reaching the berth room, Su Jinyue met the young man again.
Seeing the other person looking at her, Su Jinyue stopped and nodded at him, "Thank you for what I did just now." Although she could have dodged it herself, the other person helped her after all.
"It's just a small favor. Do you live next door?" The man smiled slightly, and the eyes behind the glasses were gentle and charming.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded and walked towards the sleeping room she was staying in. She had already thanked him, so there was no need to chat with him any further.
When we returned to the sleeper room, the big man lying on the lower bunk had already woken up. He was leaning on the bed with his legs crossed, eating a pancake.
Seeing Su Jinyue come in, the big man's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said with a smile, "Young lady, are you also going to Beijing to work? I have an acquaintance there, and I can help you find a job. Not only will you get paid, but also food and accommodation will be provided." With such generous conditions, he didn't believe that she wouldn't be tempted. The way she was dressed, she looked like she had just come from the countryside. Such a girl would be the easiest to deceive. After he got her back, he would get tired of playing with her and sell her off to make another fortune.
"Not interested." Su Jinyue glanced at the big man indifferently and placed the middle-aged woman's kettle beside her bed.
"Brother, are you serious? Do you think I can do it?" The young man on the upper bunk pointed at himself with anticipation.
The big man took a bite of the pancake in his hand and shook his head. "You can't do it. We only hire girls."
The young man sighed in disappointment and looked at Su Jinyue with envy, "Girl, don't miss out on such a good opportunity."
Su Jinyue smiled faintly and shook her head. She was not an ignorant girl who would believe the other party's words.
"Brother, can I do that?" the middle-aged woman asked while cracking melon seeds. She had to find a job in Beijing; she couldn't stay at home all the time.
"The factory only recruits girls under the age of 25. The factory makes clothes, and the monthly salary is over 100 yuan." The big man stared at Su Jinyue, wanting to see if she would look excited.
Su Jinyue pretended not to hear, took her package, took out a cup from it, walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of water.
The middle-aged woman sat down on the chair next to Su Jinyue and handed the hand holding the melon seeds to Su Jinyue. "Miss, thank you for helping me get some water. Have some melon seeds."
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "Thank you."
"My name is Wang Lizhen, you can call me Sister Wang. Girl, what's your name?" asked the middle-aged woman while cracking melon seeds.
"Su Jinyue," Su Jinyue said. To her, the name was just a code name. It didn't matter if she told him her real name. After getting off the train, they wouldn't have any more interactions.
"What a nice name! Your parents must be cultured people, as they chose such a nice name." Wang Lizhen praised, "Do you have a place to live in the capital? If not, come back with me first. My husband has a house in the capital."
"I also have a house, you can live with me." The big man said with a smile.
"I have a place to live." Su Jinyue picked up the cup and took a sip.
Seeing that Su Jinyue ignored him, the big man walked to Su Jinyue with a cup in his hand and said, "Sister, pour me a glass of water."
Su Jinyue glanced coldly at the big man, "Don't you have any hands?"
