The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala with freshmen as the main participants was really good. The freshmen showed their talents to the fullest in front of the school leaders, teachers and classmates, and won warm applause from the audience.
Yi Juntao applauded the male host particularly enthusiastically, and Yuan Fangguo and others followed suit.
However, only when he was applauding could Yuan Fangguo's mind return to the real world. Most of the rest of the time, his soul was outside his body.
For him, this party seemed like being roasted in Laozi's furnace, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Finally, at nine o'clock in the evening, the party ended.
Yuan Fangguo trotted back into the room, took his two thin clothes, and left in a hurry.
Li Chunli was absent-minded all day and night. She and Yuan Fangguo both knew that although Guangdong Province was good, it was also full of traps, like crocodiles lurking in the water, waiting for an opportunity to give them a fatal blow.
She had previously contacted her younger sister, but unfortunately, her younger sister had not been in Guangzhou for a few years and had gone to Dongguan, hundreds of kilometers away.
Naturally, they were unfamiliar with the place.
Fortunately, the younger sister also told her about some large wholesale markets in Yangcheng City, and Li Chunli also wrote them down.
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Fangguo finally showed up at half past nine. As soon as she saw Yuan Fangguo, Li Chunli felt like she had seen the dawn. Her mood suddenly changed from absent-minded to somewhat excited.
"You're here." Li Chunli said, unable to suppress her inner excitement.
Yuan Fangguo nodded, "Sister Li, shall we leave now?"
"Let's go. There is one last bus that goes to the train station," said Li Chunli.
"Give me the thing." Yuan Fangguo said.
Li Chunli nodded and handed him the army green shoulder bag.
The rubber pistol and triangular scraper inside are still there.
Yuan Fangguo took out the triangular scraper and put it inside his clothes, while the rubber pistol remained in his bag.
The canvas was packed into a large suitcase, and dragging the suitcase, he and Li Chunli ran towards the bus stop in the night.
There were not many passengers on the bus at night. Sitting on the bus and looking at the night view outside the window, Yuan Fangguo suddenly felt a little sad for some reason.
He stared at the night view outside without moving, as if he was under a spell of immobilization.
Li Chunli didn't notice that Yuan Fangguo was a little sentimental, and her mind was thinking about several things quickly.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the train station.
In this era, the train station in any big city is a place where filth and dirt are hidden, especially the Guangzhou Railway Station, which is said to be like a dark hell on earth. Gangs from various places divide the interests of the railway station, and people from different regions form different gangs to strive for the greatest interests for each other.
Bashu Gang, Hannan Gang, Hanbei Gang, Central Plains Gang, East Three Gangs...
Yuan Fangguo was very clear about all this. The chaos at Yangcheng Railway Station was well-known throughout the country, while Li Chunli had mostly heard about it from others. The two of them had different ways of obtaining information, and therefore had different expectations of Yangcheng Railway Station.
Chengdu Railway Station is not much better.
Especially at the train station at night, the crowds of people wandering in front of the train station are more like the gates of hell on earth being opened at night and the ghosts being released.
Drunk people, fighting people, hawking things...even the shops along the street are filled with homeless people.
The staff at the train station are also troubled by the complicated environment outside, so for every person entering the station, their focus is on checking the train tickets.
Security checks in that era were almost non-existent. After Yuan Fangguo showed them his student ID, they waved and signaled him to go in quickly and not block the way.
The train was at 11:30. Since it was the starting station, they could get on the train half an hour in advance. Therefore, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli did not have to wait long. They followed the crowd and squeezed into the train platform.
After finding the location, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli couldn't help but notice that they were covered in sweat.
"I didn't expect there are so many people here." Li Chunli fanned herself with her hands, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
"More during the Spring Festival." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"You don't have to suffer this during the Spring Festival. By the way, Fang Guo, will you go back during the Spring Festival?" Li Chunli suddenly asked.
Yuan Fangguo said: "I haven't thought about this yet, but even if I want to go back, I can't stay at home for a few days."
"Do you want to go out for a run during the Spring Festival?" Li Chunli asked.
Yuan Fangguo nodded, "Yes, I have this idea."
"Okay, if possible, let's go for a run during the Spring Festival. I'll talk to Lao Zhou and ask him to rent the tricycle to us, and I'll give him the money."
"You're not going home either?" Yuan Fangguo asked.
"Actually, I can go home anytime I want. It's not too late to go home after the golden period," said Li Chunli.
"Then let's go back during the first month of the lunar year." Yuan Fangguo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Li Chunli nodded without hesitation, "Sure, I think it's okay to go back then."
"Okay, let's put it this way first. We'll go to Guangzhou this time. If possible, we'll try to go there again before the New Year." Yuan Fangguo said.
"How do you go? Don't you have that much time?" Li Chunli asked in surprise.
There will be three days off for New Year's Day. Yuan Fangguo has not checked the specific course schedule, but if possible, he thinks he should be able to find time to take a look.
"I'll go back and check the course schedule then." Yuan Fangguo said.
Li Chunli nodded.
There were more and more people on the train. Before the train left, almost all the seats were occupied, and there were at least several people without seats in the aisle.
This train will stop at several major stations along the way. With such passenger flow and people's destinations almost all in Guangzhou, it is estimated that by tomorrow morning the train will be as crowded as a can of sardines.
The train whistle sounded long and loud, and soon the train body began to move slowly.
Amidst the noise, the train slowly moved towards Guangzhou.
There were also people sitting around them. Opposite them was a young couple. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be working. They were whispering sweet nothings to each other, which made Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli feel a little embarrassed.
Li Chunli, who was sitting by the window, simply lay down on the small table and fell asleep.
Yuan Fangguo folded his hands and narrowed his eyes.
It was such a long journey, and he really couldn't think of a better way to pass the time besides sleeping. He even felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have brought a novel with him, at least to kill the boredom and loneliness of the journey.
After sleeping for a while, Li Chunli felt like her back was a little bit uncomfortable, so she simply leaned back in her seat and squinted her eyes.
In a daze, Li Chunli tilted her head and snuggled tightly on Yuan Fangguo's shoulder.
