Lin Jiayu looked at him strangely, feeling that this man seemed to be mentally unstable. He was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat down next to Cheng Maixiang.
The train was about to arrive at the station. Railway staff were shouting in the waiting room with a loud speaker. Lin Jiayu picked up the cloth bag on the ground, and Cheng Maixiang took the two tickets and hurried over to queue up for ticket checking and boarding.
In this era, few people go out to travel. Most of them are on business trips or visiting relatives. In addition, it is not the Spring Festival holiday, so the number of people taking the train is relatively less. Perhaps because Guangzhou is a big city, there are still many people going there, and the crowd is very crowded. Lin Jiayu opened his arms and held Cheng Maixiang in his arms, for fear of being squeezed.
"Comrade, may I ask your name?"
Qin Haoran's hesitant voice coming from behind made Lin Jiayu and Cheng Maixiang feel quite annoyed.
Why is this person never going to stop?
Before Lin Jiayu could reprimand him, someone suddenly said in an exaggerated tone, "Hey, Mr. Qin, why are you queuing in person? Hurry up, I've already agreed with the station that you can board the train early with your Hong Kong City ID. Don't squeeze here with so many passengers. Come with me."
Without saying anything, the man dragged Qin Haoran, who was eagerly waiting for Lin Jiayu's answer, out of the line, pulled him to the front of the line, checked his ticket and left the waiting room.
Seeing Qin Haoran being pulled forward, he kept looking back at Lin Jiayu, as if hesitant to speak. Cheng Maixiang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know him?"
Lin Jiayu thought about it carefully and was sure that he did not know this person with strange behavior, so he shook his head and felt puzzled.
In this era, most people can only buy hard seats when traveling by train. Hard sleeper seats require their units to use their connections to find someone to buy them. Soft sleeper seats can only be purchased by foreigners coming to China, and only those who reach a certain level are eligible to buy them.
This time, Lin Jiayu asked Director Liu of the steel plant for help and was able to buy two hard sleeper beds. After getting on the train, they found that the hard sleeper area was empty with almost no one there, so they had the entire compartment to themselves.
The two of them were indescribably satisfied with this quiet and peaceful environment without being disturbed. Lin Jiayu put his backpack on the floor, opened his small bag, took out some snacks and handed them to Cheng Maixiang.
"You just left the station to buy these things?"
Cheng Maixiang was contentedly eating melon seeds and drinking the black tea he had brewed, looking out the window comfortably. The train had slowly left the station, and the scenery outside the window began to flow.
Lin Jiayu nodded. The last time they watched a movie together, he noticed that his young wife seemed particularly interested in snacks like melon seeds and peanuts, so he bought some for her to eat on the way.
It quickly got dark. Lin Jiayu originally wanted to go to the dining car to buy some food, but was firmly refused by Cheng Maixiang. If there was any similarity between this era and later generations, it was that the food on the train was a rip-off, expensive and unpalatable. She would not fall for this trick.
Lin Jiayu had no choice but to take out the pancakes that Lin Qingwan had prepared for the two of them from his bag, filled two porcelain jars with hot water, soaked the pancakes until softened, and ate them as dinner.
It takes about twenty-three hours to travel from Linwen County to Guang City. It was already late at night. Seeing that Cheng Maixiang seemed to have fallen asleep, Lin Jiayu lay down on the lower bunk, pulled the quilt over himself, and soon fell asleep.
Although Cheng Maixiang was also very tired, perhaps because this was her first time traveling by train in this world, she was extremely excited and could not fall asleep at all.
Cheng Maixiang quietly sat up and looked at Lin Jiayu on the bed opposite, who was sleeping soundly. So she secretly lifted the curtain on the car window and looked out.
It was pitch black outside the window, without a trace of light. Only a bright round moon hung in the distant sky, illuminating the earth.
Cheng Maixiang suddenly felt a sense of unreality. Did she really come to this world, or was she living in a dream? God sent her here. Would he suddenly send her back one day, just like he sent her here without any warning?
If this situation really happens, what should she do? What should Lin Jiayu do? Can she still find him in another world? Will he believe what she says?
No, she seems to have become more and more accustomed to Lin Jiayu's love and care, and is becoming more and more dependent on him. If God really takes her away and leaves this world, I'm afraid she will go crazy, right?
Cheng Maixiang was in a daze the entire night, her mind full of random thoughts, and she barely slept. When she woke up the next day, Lin Jiayu looked at her worriedly, "Are you not used to the shaking of the train? I heard you tossing and turning all the time last night, and it seemed like you weren't sleeping well."
Cheng Maixiang forced a smile, not daring to tell him the truth. The two chatted about some small things. Time passed quickly, and they were about to arrive at Guangzhou Station. Lin Jiayu packed his luggage and prepared to get off the train.
Suddenly, Qin Haoran came over from the carriage. When he saw Lin Jiayu, he couldn't wait to rush over. "I've searched many carriages and finally found you. Comrade, I really want to know your name. Would you mind telling me?"
