Chapter 57 Who is the adult and who is the child?
"Make way, make way, the train is about to be late and it's going to get bumped, don't worry!"
A bear rushed through the crowd, pulling the people in front to the sides with its thick arms.
Many angry passengers turned around and opened their mouths to spit foul language.
But seeing Li Dayong's size and the fierce looks of Jin Peng and Li Ye, he could only swallow his anger.
The old-fashioned boxing style requires practicing the lower body first. The three brothers Li Ye squeezed in this crowd and still had a considerable advantage.
Li Ye and his two companions formed a triangle shape to protect Teacher Ke in the middle. They were sweating profusely and finally squeezed onto the waiting platform when the train arrived.
But when he saw the train coming into the station, the calm Li Ye couldn't help but blurt out "Wow".
This was a passing train from Shanghai to Beijing. It passed through countless stations along the way and was already packed with people like a can of sardines. Li Ye felt that if a few more people were shoved in, the train might burst.
Experienced passengers on the platform have already started to grab seats, and the luggage in their hands has been put into the "throwing" state.
Teacher Ke quickly said, "We'll throw our luggage in through the window later, and then I'll climb in."
Only then did Li Ye realize that these people were trying to climb into the car through the window.
There is only one door in a carriage, but there are more than a dozen windows. You can go through any door as long as you can get in.
But when Li Ye imagined the scene of Teacher Ke climbing through the window, he found it incredible.
"Teacher Ke, please give me the ticket."
"Oh, what do I need a ticket for?"
"Give me a moment."
Li Ye took Teacher Ke's ticket and quickly squeezed towards the rear of the train, where there were sleeper cars.
Dongshan provincial capital is a big city after all, and even passing trains must have quotas for sleeper tickets. Li Ye wondered if he could think of a solution.
At the rear of the train, the platforms were less crowded.
Li Ye began to look at the people waiting for the bus.
People who walk steadily and look at others with their chin slightly raised are used to giving orders.
no.
Those who put two pens in their shirt pockets are high-level intellectuals. Some are easy to talk to, while others are stingy.
Not suitable.
Alas~, this old man has big hands and feet, his palms are full of calluses, and the wrinkles on his face are full of bitterness and hatred. At first glance, he is our lovely worker brother, maybe even an eighth-level worker.
Li Ye came forward, took out a cigarette, and then spoke.
"Uncle, please ask me something. Are you going to the capital?"
The old man was very alert. He looked at Li Ye, blocked his cigarette, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't use these tricks!"
Li Ye was a little embarrassed, and quickly held up the ticket to show it to others: "Uncle, I'm not a bad person. This is what happened. My relative also wants to go to Beijing, and he bought a seat ticket."
"But she's a female comrade, traveling alone. Not only will she suffer, but she can't squeeze in. Can I pay for your ticket?"
"Lesbian?"
The old man frowned but did not refuse immediately.
With this kind of riding environment, no one would want to exchange a sleeper berth for a seat ticket!
Li Ye quickly pointed to Teacher Ke: "That big guy is my brother, and the one next to him is my relative. Her body is in the car."
At this moment, Teacher Ke's hair was messy and he looked quite embarrassed.
The old man squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, your relative is a gentleman!"
Li Ye said: "She is a teacher, but her health has always been poor. It takes more than ten hours to get from here to the capital. Most people can't stand it if they squeeze in front."
The old man nodded and said, "That's true. For a weak person, going out at this time would be a pain."
Li Ye saw that this was a good idea, so he took out fifty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man's pocket along with the ticket.
"Please help me, uncle. As long as we have a way, I don't want to ask for help."
"Oh, you kid, I..."
The old man was a little unhappy and stretched out his hand to take out the money, but when he felt the number of bills, he felt embarrassed.
"It doesn't cost that much, actually. My sleeper fare is 23 yuan, and my seat ticket is 12.5 yuan. You just need to give me 10.5 yuan."
"How can that be possible!"
Li Ye pulled the old man towards Teacher Ke, saying as they walked, "Sitting on a hard seat for more than ten hours is more tiring than working two days of overtime. If I let you do it for nothing, it would be a waste of time."
"Hey, working two overtime shifts is not a big deal. You all just need some exercise."
After hearing what Li Ye said, the old man no longer felt so uncomfortable.
When he squeezed in front of Teacher Ke, Li Ye said first: "Teacher Ke, I talked to this uncle and he is willing to carry forward his style and give us the sleeper ticket."
When the old man heard this, he immediately handed the ticket to Teacher Ke and said with great awareness: "As a man in Dongshan, we just can't bear to see women suffer. This is what we should do."
"How can this be so embarrassing? I'll give you the extra money!"
Teacher Ke felt embarrassed and started rummaging through her small bag.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need, your kid has passed, just go and get in the car!"
Li Ye quickly picked up Teacher Ke's luggage, and then asked Li Dayong and Jin Peng to help the old man squeeze into the car.
"Oh, thank you! Thank you!"
Teacher Ke thanked them repeatedly and followed Li Ye to the sleeper car, while Li Dayong and Jin Peng helped the old worker squeeze into the car.
The old man was a talkative person and asked, "Is that female comrade also your relative?"
"relative?"
Jin Peng was stunned, then smiled and said, "They are not our relatives now, but we can't say for sure in the future."
"Um?"
Jin Peng explained: "The boy just now is my brother. He might call Teacher Ke mother-in-law in the future."
"Great~," the old man suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why that guy was so concerned! Then maybe I did a good thing today and facilitated a marriage!"
. . . . .
Because there is a ticket check at the door of the sleeper car, it is not crowded here at all.
Li Ye sent Teacher Ke to the door, handed her two bags of cigarettes and alcohol, and then leaned close to whisper.
"Teacher Ke, when I asked Wen Leyu to proofread my manuscript, I agreed to give her a portion of the royalties, but she never took it. This time, she asked me to give it to you first. It's at the bottom of the bag."
"That won't work."
Teacher Ke refused decisively, but Li Ye had already let go and walked away.
"Teacher Ke, bring back the things you don't need. Don't treat yourself badly when you're out."
Teacher Ke: “.”
"Be safe on your journey, and if possible, send us a telegram when you arrive."
Teacher Ke: “.”
"When you get to the capital, don't stay in a small hotel, stay in a big hotel, and don't be stingy with your money."
After saying a few words, Li Ye's figure was already submerged in the crowd.
Teacher Ke was urged by the ticket inspector to get on the bus, and he did not feel at peace until he reached his berth.
[I was actually told this by a child. ]
Teacher Ke couldn't help laughing. In the scene just now, it seemed as if she was the child who had never been out of the house, and Li Ye below was the elder who was seeing her off.
Thanks to the book friend "Maxim Heavy Machine Gun" for the reward.
These two chapters don't have many words. Lao Feng will write another big chapter at noon or in the afternoon. I am really sleepy and can't finish writing.
