Chapter 50 Buying Train Tickets
The day after attending the wedding.
Early in the morning, Lin Su'e went to the village chief to get a letter of introduction and said that she wanted to go to Chengdu to visit relatives. Zhao Zhenyu agreed without saying a word.
Holding the letter of introduction, she rode her bicycle to the county town.
Puxian Railway Station.
This is definitely the most lively place in Pu County.
There are crowds of people and a constant stream of people.
She went to the ticket office to buy tickets first. There were long queues at each window, so she had to randomly choose a queue that moved faster.
It took about 20 minutes to queue.
Finally it was Lin Su'e's turn.
Inside, the energetic female ticket seller with black shoulder-length hair and a white shirt smiled and asked, "Sister, where do you want to buy a ticket to?"
Lin Su'e replied: "Give me three train tickets to Chengdu tomorrow."
"Three tickets to Chengdu, right?"
"right."
"The bus will leave at 7:02 tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you?"
"Can."
"Okay, three tickets, a total of 7.5 yuan."
"OK."
Lin Su'e handed over the letter of introduction with a piece of Great Unity inside. The conductor gave her 2.5 yuan in change and three tickets, and returned the letter of introduction to her.
She took it and said, "Thank you, comrade."
The conductor smiled: "You're welcome."
After buying the ticket, Lin Su'e strode away.
I really couldn't hold it in any longer. The guy in the queue behind me must have eaten leek dumplings in the morning. My mouth was full of the taste of leeks.
Out of the ticket gate.
She then breathed a sigh of relief.
Pick up the ticket and look.
"I haven't seen this kind of hard-board ticket for many years~"
The ticket in her hand was light pink, only the size of a thumb, and rectangular. Unlike the high-speed rail tickets of later generations, it did not have an ID number or name.
The front side says the starting point Pu County and the end point Rongcheng; hard seat; ticket price is 2.5 yuan.
This is a half-price ticket.
The original price is 5 yuan.
On the back, the departure time is posted on a white sticker.
Nowadays, all train stations across the country use hard-board tickets, which were gradually replaced in the 1990s.
…
Out of the train station.
Lin Su'e glanced at the sky, it was almost 9 o'clock.
She thought about it and drove towards the state-owned store.
Lock your car.
As soon as you enter the door, the noise from the streets is blocked out, and the mall is comfortable and quiet.
No one's shopping?
no.
Lin Su'e looked over and saw dozens of men and women buying things at various counters.
Does that mean people who go to state-owned stores are of high quality?
That's not necessary.
The situation is caused simply because state-owned stores have strict rules.
If you dare to make noise, the staff will chase you away.
Why are you so arrogant?
For example, today’s state-owned stores are equivalent to the luxury goods stores of later generations. Do you think the attitudes of the store clerks in those luxury goods stores are good?
Besides, today's sales clerks still have a stable job and are paid by the government. They do not rely on sales and commissions to make a living, so they are naturally very confident.
Let’s get back to the topic.
She looked around and found the cabinet where pots, pans, and utensils were sold.
Good luck.
There's no one in this cupboard.
She walked forward and saw the middle-aged female salesperson with a raised brow, who was sitting on a high stool at the counter and eating a handful of melon seeds. She glanced at her without any intention of greeting her.
Lin Su'e: "..."
If she were a 20-year-old girl, she would definitely not be able to stand this.
But, she is already 40 years old, plus she was 84 years old in her previous life, she is over a hundred years old.
Of course, I won’t get angry about this.
There is no need for a dispute of personal feelings.
So, she smiled and said politely, "Comrade 1755 Salesperson, please help me get the thermos cup on the far right of the second row. I want to buy one."
1755 is the number on the name tag of the woman with the eyebrow-hanging tattoo.
She said this on purpose to prevent her from pretending to be deaf.
I bought a thermos cup to drink water on the train tomorrow.
Hearing this.
The woman with raised eyebrows looked over. Lin Su'e's smile remained unchanged on her face. She curled her lips, reluctantly put the melon seeds on the counter, stood up, patted the crumbs on her body, turned around and took down the thermos.
"Duang"
He placed it heavily on the counter and said calmly, "10 yuan each, no bargaining."
Lin Su'e didn't say anything and simply gave him 10 yuan.
She accepted it and handed over a receipt.
Lin Su'e took it, picked up the thermos, and turned away without hesitation.
…
Then we came to the counter selling pens.
When I go to Chengdu to visit my sister's family, I naturally have to buy some gifts.
Lin Suhua is a newspaper editor, and her brother-in-law Deng Youjun is a school teacher. They are both intellectuals, so a fountain pen is appropriate as a gift.
The attitude of the waiter at this counter was "ok".
The "good" here refers to not eating melon seeds during working hours and treating customers in a rude manner.
Yes, the bottom line is that low.
Sales clerks these days are all very arrogant, and this is considered a good attitude.
Putting herself in their shoes, Lin Su'e could understand why these sales clerks have the same attitude. Everyone has the same attitude. If you don't follow the crowd, do you want to be excluded by everyone?
Let’s get to the point.
Finally, she bought three Hero pens, each costing 6 yuan, spending a total of 18 yuan. In addition to the two for my younger sister and brother-in-law, I bought another one for my second child.
I made a small fortune yesterday.
Of course, I have to share it with the children.
My younger sister gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son is named Deng Sheng and the younger daughter is named Deng Zhu. One is 15 years old and the other is 10 years old, and both are in school.
Gifts for children should not be neglected either.
Gifts from Deng Sheng, Zhao Zhenli and Zhao Zhenxin: three tin frogs.
No boy can refuse!
Gift from Deng Zhu and Zhao Yulan, 2 boxes of crayons.
There is no little girl who doesn’t love colorful crayons!
Zhao Fenglan's gift was a soap.
When girls grow up, they want to dress up beautifully.
The gift from the boss Zhao Zhenren made her want to pick her head, and finally bought a military green hat.
In this era, soldiers are the most admired.
I didn't treat myself badly either.
I bought myself a bar of soap and a towel.
The gifts are bought.
She bought another pound of candy: a mixture of White Rabbit milk candy, plum candy, tangerine peel candy and fructose.
1 pound of peanut candy.
2 pounds of egg cake.
1 box of peach cakes.
Large and small bags left the store.
She calculated that the total cost was 42.9 yuan.
Except for thermoses, pens and hats, other gifts and food for children are not expensive.
Before leaving.
Lin Su'e glanced at the notice on the wall at the entrance, which was titled "Ten Prohibitions on Counter Discipline," and shook her head and smiled.
Just see.
The ten prohibitions on counter discipline are:
1. Smoking, eating, doing private work, reading newspapers and bringing children are not allowed at the counter.
2. It is not allowed to gather in groups to chat, play or fight inside the counter.
