Sitting on the train to the provincial capital.
Fortunately, they were able to buy sleeper tickets thanks to Secretary Wang.
Tang Xinyi lay on her bunk, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window.
To be honest, the scenery of this era is really nothing to look at, with low houses and tall trees everywhere.
Even the poles for pulling electric wires were made of wood and stood there upright. She even saw long-beaked birds hanging on some of the poles, pecking at the wormholes in the tree trunks at a very fast speed.
From time to time, small birds would land on the top of the telephone poles, and as soon as one flew away, another one would stop.
When passing by the village, you can see countless children running happily on the road.
Although they were dressed simply, even tattered, the innocent smiles on the children's faces were something that was hard to see in later generations.
In Tang Xinyi's memory, although there are high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete in later generations, there are rarely smiles on people's faces.
High-rise buildings may bring people closer together, but they also push people's interactions and interactions further apart.
Tang Xinyi still remembers that when she rented a house in the city, she didn't even know who lived next door to her.
Neighbors around her, upstairs and downstairs, it seemed that these people had nothing to do with her. In this strange city, she felt only loneliness and independence.
Not to mention the children, who are sent to school as soon as they open their eyes, and then it’s time to close their eyes and go to sleep after finishing their homework.
Do they have time to run across the fields like these kids?
No!
All they have is grades, study, study, study...
Unlike the kids nowadays, who can play with a piece of mud for a whole day.
One bite of candy can make your heart sweet!
Although they do not have a good material foundation, they do not despise their family, their parents, and their sisters!
Don't feel inferior because they wear patched clothes.
Even if it is wild vegetable porridge, they can taste its fragrance.
Tang Xinyi feels that this is the best era.
Always full of vitality and vigor.
Unconsciously, Tang Xinyi's thoughts drifted away.
Even Secretary Wang next to her called her several times but she didn't hear him.
"Xinyi, Secretary Wang is calling you!"
Or the other female comrade in the lower bunk couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled Tang Xinyi's sleeve.
Secretary Wang slept in the middle bunk opposite Tang Xinyi, while the female comrade happened to sleep in the lower bunk, and another young man slept in the upper bunk.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Wang, I was a little distracted just now."
Secretary Wang called her personally, but she didn't hear it. Tang Xinyi sat up from the bed feeling a little embarrassed.
"Nothing! Nothing much, just wanted to ask if you have confidence in this four-party exchange meeting?"
Secretary Wang was also feeling uncomfortable all over because he had been lying down for a long time. Even though it was a sleeper berth, his body would still feel uncomfortable if he lay down for a long time.
“You must have confidence!”
"Secretary Wang, it's quite uncomfortable for us to just lie here. How about we go for a walk around in another carriage?"
Just as Tang Xinyi said this, the people above and below her gave her puzzled looks.
Secretary Wang also didn't understand why Tang Xinyi said that.
Although lying down is tiring, walking in the aisle is even more tiring than lying down.
You have to know that in this era, people carry all kinds of things on the train.
Especially when some people bring chickens and ducks, they have no place to put the cages, so they put them in the aisle. It is really not easy for people to walk past.
"I want to ask the train attendant if they need our snacks."
"Don't train attendants come out with carts selling things every once in a while on the train? Why are they allowed to sell sunflower seeds, peanuts, and mineral water on the train, but we can't sell pig skin, chicken feet, and ham sausage?"
The more Tang Xinyi thought about it, the more she felt there was a chance. She put her things in order and then jumped into the aisle.
"Secretary Wang, if you don't want to go, I'll take some samples over and ask. Xiaoli, can you help me look after my luggage?"
Seeing that Secretary Wang looked a little embarrassed, Tang Xinyi did not force it, and then gave instructions to Han Xiaoli who was in the lower bunk.
"Don't worry, Comrade Tang Xinyi! I will definitely keep an eye on your luggage!"
Han Xiaoli was not sleeping. She was reading a book with great interest. Before Tang Xinyi came back, she could help her look up something.
After Tang Xinyi finished her instructions, she left her carriage and walked towards the back.
There were sleeper berths in the front, so she had to go to the back, where the hard seat cars were.
After walking for a while, she saw the conductor pushing a cart and selling things.
Just as he was about to catch up quickly, he was grabbed by an old lady after taking a few steps.
"Why are you running so fast? What if you fall?"
"Come over here and sit for a while. You're so reckless, aren't you afraid of getting lost?"
The old lady took Lin Xue's arm in a familiar manner and pushed her to sit on the seat.
Tang Xinyi: ???
"Auntie, why are you pulling me?"
Tang Xinyi looked at the old lady in confusion. She was about to catch up with the conductor in front of her, but the old lady pulled her away and she disappeared.
"Well, just sit back and relax. My son went for a walk up ahead and probably won't be back for a while!"
It seemed that the old lady had misunderstood something, but Tang Xinyi didn't understand her motives.
If you're bored and want to find someone to chat with, shouldn't you look for her?
