The group got on the train smoothly, and Zhou Xuemin found their carriage based on the information on the ticket.
Perhaps they had made special arrangements when buying the tickets, so the four of them were in the same carriage, with two lower berths and two middle berths. As for the other two upper berths, they were empty and no one was there.
They are all acquaintances and there are no strangers, which can make them feel more relaxed.
After looking at the beds, Zhou Xuemin placed his luggage on the bed to the left of the entrance and said, "There are four beds in total. Comrade Li Heping and I will sleep in the bottom two, and the two women will sleep in the middle two."
The beds were not arranged according to the ticket, but were reallocated. The two men slept on the lower bunk and the woman slept on the middle bunk, which was more secure.
Therefore, including Jianshu, no one had any objection to this distribution and they all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, that's it."
After everyone agreed, Jianshu casually put his luggage on the bed on the left and climbed up. Seeing this, Li Chunmei also chose the remaining bed.
After packing his luggage, Jianshu quickly climbed down from the bed.
Glancing at the three people still packing up, she turned to the eldest brother among them, Zhou Xuemin, and said, "Comrade Zhou, is there anything going on? If not, I'll go out for a walk and come back later."
She was quite curious about the difference between the green trains of this era and those of later generations.
Zhou Xuemin was packing his things. When he heard her words, he stopped what he was doing and stood up. Seeing the excited expression on her face, he smiled and said, "Go ahead. Remember our carriage and bed numbers so you don't get lost later. Also, be careful. There are a lot of people on the train, so be careful."
Curiosity cannot be stopped. Only after seeing it once will one lose interest in it. So he readily agreed to Jianshu's request.
"Okay." Jian Shu agreed without hesitation. Then he looked at Li Chunmei above and invited her, "Sister Chunmei, do you want to go shopping together?"
"No, Xiaoshu, you go by yourself. I got up early this morning and am so sleepy now. It's still early, so you can take a nap." Li Chunmei waved her hand sleepily to refuse.
"Okay, Sister Chunmei, you take a good rest. I can go shopping by myself." Seeing the tired look on her face, Jianshu said.
It’s okay to go shopping alone, everyone has their own interests.
After saying goodbye to the three people again, Jianshu began his own train adventure.
-
Walking in the corridor with his hands behind his back, Jianshu was in a very good mood and humming a song all the way.
The train hadn't started yet, and there were quite a few people in the corridor. The windows were open, and there was a huge crowd outside. Everywhere you looked, there were heads.
Some had red eyes, some were crying, some were wailing, some were looking reluctant, the emotions of parting were floating in the sky, making those who didn't want to cry unable to help but have red eyes.
And Jianshu is one of the oddballs among them.
Everyone was reluctant to leave, but she was still smiling.
In other words, this will make people not pay attention to her, otherwise she will definitely be glared at by everyone.
Jianshu, who didn't realize that he was a little out of place, struggled to make his way through the crowded crowd and reached the restroom on the train.
However, because the train was stopping at the station, the toilet was locked by the conductor and she was unable to take a look.
Feeling somewhat disappointed, Jianshu had no choice but to continue walking forward. When he arrived at another carriage, he still saw the same compartments, corridors, and people bidding farewell to each other.
After walking through two carriages in a row, Jianshu found that they were all similar, so he stopped moving forward and turned back to the original carriage.
"Comrade Jian is back? How was your shopping trip?" Zhou Xuemin, who was sitting by the window wearing glasses and reading a book, looked over and asked after seeing Jian Shu.
Jian Shu walked over, picked up his own water cup on the table, took a sip, and sighed, "Don't even mention it. The whole journey was packed with people, and the carriages were all pretty much the same. The restrooms were all locked, too. Not only did I not see anything, but I was also squeezed in."
"You're going to the sleeper car, right?" Zhou Xuemin said firmly. "You can go in another direction. The hard seat car is different from ours. As for the restroom, you can go there after the train leaves, but it's nothing special. The facilities on the train are not very good. It's far worse than at home."
At this point, he couldn't help laughing again, "Everyone hates toilets. The people in the cubicles closest to the toilets want to stay away from them, but you are the only one interested in them."
Jian Shu blushed at her words. Why did it sound so off-putting? She wasn't interested in toilets; she just hadn't seen one before and wanted to see it. Why did she say it as if she had some quirk?
"Let me take a break first. The corridor is crowded with people, all gathered by the windows to say goodbye to their loved ones. I'd better start the train and wait until everyone has dispersed before going. There's still a lot of time left, so there's no rush." Jianshu said, avoiding the awkward topic.
After saying that, she climbed up again in no time, put her left hand under her head, raised her right leg, and couldn't help moving her feet back and forth, staring at the upper bunk in a daze.
For a moment, the four people in the compartment were doing their own things, two were reading, one was sleeping, and the other was in a daze, and soon they became quiet.
-
As time passed, the train whistle sounded again and the crowd around dispersed at the sound of the conductor's horn. Those who had been holding back their tears could no longer hold back and tears fell. However, the people involved were unaware of this and looked longingly at the plants and trees outside the window, and the most important person.
Human beings do not share the same sorrows and joys. When others were in tears, Jianshu, who was lying in bed bored, heard a whistle and immediately jumped up from the bed happily.
Ahhhhhh, Shanghai Stock Exchange, here I come!
In her excitement, she completely forgot that she wasn't in her own bed at home, where she could jump around as she pleased, but rather on the middle bunk of the train. So, she soon experienced the perfect example of what it meant to be overjoyed and then be overwhelmed with sorrow...
There was a loud bang, followed by Jianshu's cry of pain, "Ah——"
The pain on her forehead made Jian Shu gasp, and her cry of pain also attracted the attention of the other three people in the compartment. Yes, three people, even the sleeping Li Chunmei was awakened by her scream.
"Ah, what's wrong? What happened?" Li Chunmei, who was awakened by the fright, sat up from the bed and asked in confusion.
She was sleeping soundly and even dreamed that she was eating meat. She was suddenly awakened by the fright and the meat in her mouth flew out.
Zhou Xuemin and Li Heping, who were reading in the lower bunk, were also startled. They quickly stood up and looked at Jianshu.
"Is Xiao Jian okay?" The two looked at Jian Shu with concern.
Just that loud noise showed that the collision was quite serious.
