At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yanqing and Ahua boarded the train to Guangdong Province. The train would take almost a day and a night and would not arrive until noon tomorrow.
It was also at this time that Jiang Yanqing realized how rare high-speed trains and airplanes were in later generations. Unfortunately, it would take another ten or twenty years before she could enjoy such a convenient life again.
This was Jiang Yanqing's first time riding a train of this era, but it was obviously not Ah Hua's first time, so her expression was very calm. She put away her luggage and sat on the bed in a daze.
After getting on the train, Jiang Yanqing was extremely glad that she had bought a sleeper ticket which was more than twice as expensive as a seat ticket, otherwise her waist would have been hurt from sitting for such a long time.
Moreover, the carriage was crowded and hot in the summer, and all kinds of body odors were emitted, which was really unbearable for the spoiled Jiang Yanqing.
Jiang Yanqing sat on the lower bunk, looking at Ah Hua with some melancholy, and asked with concern, "Sister Ah Hua, what's wrong with you?"
Ah Hua gave a bitter smile and replied, "Xiao Jiang, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I miss Yaya."
Jiang Yanqing also smiled, "Sister Hua, I told you not to come. It would be better if you stayed and took care of the store. Yaya must have missed you too."
Ah Hua smiled lightly and shook her head. "Xiao Jiang, if you don't come this time, you have to come next time. You also said that you would let me handle all the store matters from now on."
"You have broad vision. This time, I can come with you and gain more experience. If you are not available in the future, I can come by myself and I won't be so busy."
"As for Yaya, Aunt Zhao next door is very nice and likes Yaya very much. I'm not worried. It's just that I've never been away from her before, so I'm a little uncomfortable for a while."
Jiang Yanqing was silent for a moment. She had never had children in her previous life, so she didn't know what it felt like to think about children at this moment.
As for Hard Sleeper's parents in her previous life, even though they had a daughter like her, they could still live a good life of their own. Of course, their love for her cannot be denied.
The two chatted casually. There were not many people taking the train in this season. In their sleeper car, there were six seats on the left and right, but only four people were sleeping. The other two were sitting opposite each other.
After chatting for a while, someone came to check the tickets. An older woman opposite ran to the bathroom and hid there out of guilt.
The ticket inspector checked the tickets one by one, glanced at the bed opposite Jiang Yanqing that had been moved, and asked, "Comrade, do you know where this other person went?"
Jiang Yanqing didn't pay much attention, but Ah Hua pointed to the bathroom, indicating that someone was inside.
The ticket inspector went over and knocked on the door for a long time. The woman inside opened the door reluctantly and brought the person in to check the ticket. It turned out that it was a seat ticket.
The woman was taken away by the ticket inspector. Before leaving, her eyes fell in the direction of Jiang Yanqing with a hint of coldness.
Jiang Yanqing felt her gaze rise and she saw the woman had already turned around and walked away with the ticket inspector.
Ah Hua took out their dinner and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yanqing withdrew her gaze and shook her head, "It's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong." She was just an ordinary woman, and she didn't do anything wrong.
The two prepared some food in advance, but the weather was too hot, so boiled eggs and dumplings had to be eaten tonight, and there would be white flour pancakes and pickles tomorrow.
After dinner, Ah Hua quickly took the dishes to wash up. Jiang Yanqing packed the luggage and waited for Ah Hua to come back.
When they went to bed at night, since the two of them didn't have any valuables, except for the money they kept on them, which was all on Jiang Yanqing, Ah Hua fell asleep because she felt sleepy.
Jiang Yanqing was somewhat attached to her bed. When she felt sleepy, she would take a nap, but would wake up after a while. Anyway, she felt very uncomfortable after spending the whole night there.
The next morning before six o'clock, rustling sounds were heard and the car became noisy again.
Jiang Yanqing got out of bed with slightly dark bags under her eyes. Ah Hua said apologetically, "Xiao Jiang, I slept too deeply last night. Did you not sleep all night?"
Jiang Yanqing twitched her lips and said, "It's okay, Sister Hua. I couldn't sleep well because of the change of environment. I'll rest when we get to the hotel."
Ah Hua nodded. This was the only way. However, she didn't let Jiang Yanqing do anything after that. She just let her stay in bed and rest.
Nothing else happened along the way. Jiang Yanqing and Ah Hua arrived at the Guang Province Railway Station smoothly. After getting off the train, Ah Hua couldn't help but exclaimed, "Xiao Jiang, Guang Province is so big."
Jiang Yanqing looked around and had to say that the spring breeze of reform and opening up had really blown across the southern land, and the entire city's appearance was eye-catching.
Although it cannot be compared with the skyscrapers and mansions of the previous life, isn’t it more amazing to be able to witness the evolution of history with your own eyes?
As soon as I walked out of the train station, a group of people holding small signs came to greet me, speaking in Cantonese that was hard to understand, "Pretty girl, where can I find a place to stay?"
Ah Hua whispered in Jiang Yanqing's ear, "Xiao Jiang, can you understand what they are saying?"
Jiang Yanqing didn't answer, but smiled and said, "No, let's go home." It was also Cantonese, but it sounded a little unfamiliar, as if it hadn't been spoken for a long time.
