Before Lu Zhenchuan got off the train, the train attendant came to explain to him why someone had sat in his seat before.
The family bought hard seats. They took advantage of the crowd when entering the carriage and sneaked into it, which led to the subsequent incident. The train station has already dealt with it.
Lu Zhenchuan said that after he knew about it, he got off the train and took his nephew home.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was 1973. The market conditions that year were much better than in previous years.
Three years ago, Lu Zhenchuan was sent out on a mission due to some emergency as soon as he returned home. He knew that this mission would take a long time, so before he went out to perform the mission, he wrote a letter to his wife and told her that she would not be able to contact him for a long time. However, he did not expect that this mission would last for three years.
This time when he came back from his mission, his superiors gave him a long vacation. He immediately went home, packed several clothes, told his parents, and hurried out to see his wife. It had been three years since he last saw his wife.
Fortunately, his elder brother understood him and knew that he would leave as soon as he came back, so he bought him a train ticket in advance.
Lu Zhenchuan just wanted to go to his wife as soon as possible. After all, three years had passed. When he left, his wife said that she would come to accompany him in a few years. Now it has been three years, and that is right. This time he will go and bring her back.

Gu Ranzhou, who was far away in the town, was busy with his work. Suddenly he sneezed, then rubbed his nose and continued with his work. He didn't care about the sneeze at all. After all, he was panning for gold, or in a more vulgar way, he was shopping at a scrap yard.
It's called a scrap yard, but it's actually a big yard filled with all kinds of items, including furniture. They were all piled here by the big landlords, wealthy businessmen, and people who had committed crimes in previous years and had their homes raided, and they were treated as useless scrap. There's an old man guarding the door. You can get in for 50 cents, and when you leave, you have to pay 10 cents per pound based on how much you have in your hands. No one recognizes each other outside the door.
I didn't think of this place when I came here a few years ago. I only remembered it recently because I was bored. However, it seems that there has been reform in recent years and it is not so strict. So early in the morning, after taking An An to eat, I dropped An An off at Gu Jianqiang's house and rode my bike here to get up early.
Ordinary people simply didn't want to come here, so when Gu Ranzhou arrived, there was no one there at all. There was only an old man guarding the door, who obviously lived here as a gatekeeper.
Having gone off topic, Gu Ranzhou's thoughts instantly returned to his senses. He continued to busy himself with the work in his hands without stopping for a moment. The old man at the door didn't care what the young man was doing. After all, he had to bring the things to him to weigh them and pay before he could leave. Once they walked out of the door, no one would recognize each other.
The old man guarding the gate didn't believe that the young man could run away. After all, the young man was fair and tender, and didn't look like someone who would do such a thing.
Gu Ranzhou didn't know what the old man was thinking, because he was currently busy with his Taobao business. Even if he knew, he would still pay the money properly. After all, he didn't lack that little money.
Gu Ranzhou scraped off the legs of the table and picked up a lot of treasures. Those treasures that could not be seen were sent into the space one by one. It was said that no grass grew wherever he went.
He searched the entire yard and made a fortune. After Gu Ranzhou was satisfied, he picked up a pile of books he had prepared in advance and walked up to the old man.
The old man guarding the gate was dozing off when suddenly Gu Ranzhou brought a large pile of books and placed them on the table.
The gatekeeper saw the pile of books on the table and said in surprise, "Young man, you came so early and spent so much time to find a pile of books?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded and said, "Yes, when my son grows up, I will get him some books and teach him how to read. Otherwise, if he goes out in the future, he won't be able to read. If he gets cheated because of his illiteracy, that would be even worse."
After hearing what Gu Ranzhou said, the gatekeeper nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense."
At this time, Gu Ranzhou pointed at the book on the table and said, "Master, weigh it and see how much it is?"
The old man nodded and responded, then divided the book into several parts and put them on the scale. "Okay. Young man, let me take a look."
Then they add it all together and say, "Wow, 10 jin is exactly one dollar."
Gu Ranzhou took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to the old man, then picked up the book and said, "Here, old man. I'm leaving now."
The gatekeeper took the money, nodded, and then fell back into the chair and dozed off again, "Okay, okay."
Gu Ranzhou put the books into a sack he had prepared in advance, tied it to the back seat, got on his bicycle and headed straight home.
"Wife." Suddenly a shout came from behind.
Gu Ranzhou heard the shouting and felt that it was somewhat familiar. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He rode his bicycle and whispered, "Hiss! Why do I seem to hear the voice of my silly dog? Isn't he on a mission right now? Is the mission over?"
"Wife." Gu Ranzhou had just finished speaking when the voice sounded again behind him.
Gu Ranzhou heard Lu Zhenchuan's voice again. He stopped his bicycle and turned around to look back. He saw Lu Zhenchuan carrying a sail bag not far away. Sure enough, his hearing was correct.
Lu Zhenchuan, carrying a canvas bag, ran after his wife's bicycle and called out, "Wife."
Gu Ranzhou looked at the person running towards him, then got off the bicycle and asked, "Why are you back? Didn't you go on a mission?"
Lu Zhenchuan took the bicycle and rode on it. "It's been three years since I last met my wife. Don't you miss me when you see me?"
Seeing that there was no one on the road, Gu Ranzhou put the sack into the space and then sat on the back of the bicycle.
"I didn't expect you to come back so suddenly without even writing a letter."
"young married woman."
"Okay, let's go back and talk about it. It's not convenient outside."
Lu Zhenchuan also knew that it was not a good time to reminisce about the past in this situation, so he had to keep the words back in his heart.
Lu Zhenchuan rode a bicycle and took Gu Ranzhou back home. At this time, Gu Yu'an ran back and saw his grandfather. He thought his brother had also returned and was a little excited.
"Dad, Big Dad, is my brother here too?"
Lu Zhenchuan was stunned when he heard his son's words, and then said, "Ah! No, Haoyu didn't come. I came back this time just to take you to the imperial capital."
Then he turned to his wife and said, "Wife, you said you would go to the capital in a few years. Can you fulfill your promise this time?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded and agreed: "Well, let's eat first. You look so tired, so you probably haven't eaten yet!"
After parking his bicycle, Lu Zhenchuan said, "Not yet. I'll book a train ticket and come back to see you as soon as I finish my mission."
