Bi Cheng used both arms to push open the window.
An old-fashioned green train with windows that can be pushed up and lifted.
The cool breeze instantly blew into the car, ruffling the hair that was sticking out of the window. Bi Yue spread out her five fingers, she wanted to hug the wind on the prairie.
The grassland in Bi Yue's eyes at this moment:
The green fields and blue sky are so vast!
Looking around, everything looks like an emerald green disc, a breathtaking green.
The wind here can make people breathe comfortably through every pore of their body. The clouds are very soft and linger as if far away from this world.
"beautiful!"
Bi Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes filled with surprise. He stared for a long time, then sat up straight and looked at Bi Yue, sighing again, as if he wanted to find recognition from Bi Yue:
"Sister, how beautiful would it be if the sun set?!"
Bi Yue tilted her head, leaned on the dining table, squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, and answered in a soft and longing voice:
"The horizon will be dark, everything will seem to be plunged into a completely silent black, while the sky should be red and yellow, like a fiery sunset, echoing each other in the distance. I guess the night will be even more charming!"
…
For most of the day, the train was galloping across the prairie. In the afternoon, the train stopped at Jining South Station and Zhurihe Station respectively. The stay at both stations was not long, but a large number of passengers flocked into the carriage.
The carriage suddenly became crowded. It was simply a dream to be able to stretch my legs in the aisle, go to the toilet, etc. as I did before.
How crowded is it?
There was a person sitting on the ground between Bi Yue and Bi Cheng's seats.
Sitting under their table was a man in his fifties. What was even stranger was that most of the people who got on the bus from these two stops were big, burly men, and there wasn't a single young woman.
Looking throughout the entire carriage, there were very few women, let alone an eighteen-year-old girl like Bi Yue.
As the sky gradually darkened and the carriage was filled with voices, Bi Yue reached into his military satchel, felt around, searched, and counted.
There are only 12 left out of the 17 egg pancakes, and in such a short time, there are only five cucumbers left.
She wondered how much she would have to eat every day to feed her eldest brother, starting tomorrow. She blamed herself for forgetting to boil eggs, which didn't take up much space and could help with hunger.
Unlike before, Bi Yue could sleep on the dining table, which was a place she had all to herself. When more people came, although the people sitting next to her were either uncles or older brothers, they were all long-distance travelers and everyone had to eat.
Bi Yue took the initiative to stand up and let someone else have the table. She needed Bi Cheng's help to stand up, but even though she dodged carefully, the uncle sitting on the ground still screamed:
"Oh my God, my finger! You almost stepped on it and broke it!" He grinned and his face turned red.
Contagious expressions and familiar local accents.
Bi Cheng suddenly became enthusiastic, or perhaps because riding in a car was a very boring thing, he helped Bi Yue step over the middle of the Northeast uncle and stood in the aisle. Bi Cheng asked:
"Uncle, from Northeast China?"
"Yeah then. You guys too?"
Bi Yue had no idea how these two people connected their minds.
It only took about ten or eight minutes, and they talked about their names, ages, where they came from, where they were going... In short, the two of them had a very lively conversation.
Bi Yue had been squeezed through the crowd all the way here, holding the water bottle in her hands. As soon as she returned, she saw Bi Cheng reaching for her green schoolbag and taking out a biscuit. His face was full of smiles, and he didn't forget to say politely:
"We didn't prepare anything to eat, but please feel free to fill your stomach. Uncle Xu, please don't be offended. These are homemade egg pancakes!"
Bi Yue had to admit that chemistry was a very strange thing sometimes.
Bi Cheng was obviously a quiet person, but he was extremely warm to his fellow countrymen from Northeast China who were extremely dirty and wore even more tattered clothes than them.
Compared with Bi Cheng, Bi Yue seemed much colder. She would rather keep silent than say anything.
She believes that friendships that happen on trains, planes, ships, and buses are just that, and when they reach their destination, that's the end of it.
So when Uncle Xu, Xu Haoqiang, asked, "We're good companions, and I'm also the final destination. What are you doing in your hometown?" Bi Yue kicked Bi Cheng's trouser leg at a very fast speed under the dining table.
However, there was a lump next to his foot, and he was a living person, so maybe I didn't kick him right...
"Well, we're doing fine. We're both at the final destination. My sister and I are both attending university in Kyoto, so we're not staying back home."
Bi Yue was speechless. "Why didn't you tell me the house number? That's so heartless!" Well, the key is that two more egg pancakes are missing!
Uncle Xu sat cross-legged on the floor, a small bag under his buttocks, his two large packages stuffed into the empty space on the seat. He turned sideways to glance at Bi Yue's sandals, couldn't help laughing, and said while eating Bi Cheng's egg pancake:
"Nephew, I won't eat your cake for nothing. I was busy when I got on the bus, so I left a bag. When we stop tomorrow and there's food for sale, I'll treat you to something delicious!"
Bi Yue planned to find some time to remind her eldest brother that this Uncle Xu was very secretive. He spoke with a Northeastern dialect, but he got on the train in Inner Mongolia. There was obviously a train on the Northeast side as well!
Let's assume what he said was true, that he was visiting relatives. Although his clothes were so tattered, his pure cotton socks were snow-white, and there was a pocket watch stuffed in his trouser pocket. It looked like it was worth a lot of money, and you could guess it by looking at the watch strap.
If he hadn't bent down and stood up and dropped it, Bi Yue really wouldn't have noticed it, and would have thought he was just a poor family going to Su Country. But this time, Bi Yue thought too much. Later, she realized how precious Xu Haoqiang was, and how precious it was to have an experienced uncle by her side.
In fact, it wasn't just Xu Haoqiang who made Bi Yue wary of others.
The four people sitting next to her and Bi Cheng, and even everyone in the carriage who was carrying large and small bags.
…
It seemed that after the train stopped at the Erlianhot platform, Bi Yue and Bi Cheng were no longer in a carefree state. There was a sense of tension that surrounded them.
They finally realized that this trip was not about having fun, but about making money, crossing borders, and facing all the unpredictable realities.
It was already late at night when the loudspeaker on the train suddenly started broadcasting. Bi Yue was dozing off in a daze when the sudden sound of music startled her.
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud,
Sing for our beloved motherland, which is now heading towards prosperity and strength..."
The loud speaker first played "Singing the Motherland," and then the announcement came:
"Comrade passengers, welcome to the Second Company of the Border Station of the People's Republic of China!"
Such a serious tone full of revolutionary flavor instantly made everyone in the car sit up straight.
Following this announcement, the train slowed down, and Bi Yue squinted her eyes and looked at the platform which was still some distance away.
The platform at the border is mysterious and solemn. It can be seen from afar. It is brightly lit and rows of border armed police soldiers are heroic. Their movements are in unison and they don't look away.
The defenders of the motherland make every viewer stand in awe.
After crossing the border station, she will leave the embrace of her motherland.
