GUANG…CHI…GUANG…CHI
Chilechuan is located in Inner Mongolia and is thousands of kilometers away. This train is destined to be a long journey.
Fortunately, Li Jie and Qin Nan took the sleeper berth this time.
The train headed west. After a few days, the scenery outside the window gradually changed. The trees on both sides of the railway became shorter and shorter.
Finally, it even disappeared, replaced by endless grassland.
Seeing the vast grassland, Qin Nan instantly became energetic, and the fatigue of the journey was swept away.
The train happened to pass by a pastoral area. Looking at the herds of cattle and horses, and the galloping horses, Qin Nan finally had some expectations for his future life.
"Zhihua, look, there are many herdsmen over there."
Not long after, Qin Nan excitedly pulled Li Jie and asked him to watch it together.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them came to the window and admired the scenery outside. However, the aisle of the sleeper car was a bit narrow.
Excluding the high and low beds placed on both sides, there is only a few dozen centimeters of width left, and the two of them are squeezed in the window, so it is inevitable that they will be closer.
It was so close that Qin Nan could detect the warm breath.
At first, Qin Nan didn't notice this. Her mind was focused on the herds of cattle and sheep and the herdsmen grazing.
But slowly, she felt something strange.
However, she did not push back. In fact, she quite liked this feeling.
Not only did she not give in to the side, but she subconsciously followed her heart and moved a little to the side.
On the side, a middle-aged man in the upper bunk couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
Youth.
very nice.
After a few glances, the middle-aged man wearing glasses withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the newspaper again.
In front of the car window, Li Jie obviously noticed Qin Nan's little move, but he also ignored it.
Isn't that nice?
With a tacit understanding, they rush to each other.
The two of them just crowded in front of the window like this, looking at the scenery outside the window and talking quietly.
During this period, Qin Nan was talking most of the time, thinking about the 'beautiful' life in the future.
Before, she felt that Chilechuan was too far away and the conditions were too difficult.
Now, she has expectations instead.
Listening to Qin Nan's description of the future, Li Jie only smiled occasionally and agreed. He did not try to crush Qin Nan's fantasy.
Winter in the grassland is very cold.
If there is a snowstorm, there will only be a vast white fog left between the sky and the earth, the kind that can't even see the road.
Li Jie had encountered him several times when he was in Saihanba.
Even if he saw the power of God, he would be filled with emotion. Many of the young people who went to the dam were scared away.
However, compared with those people, Qin Nan was at least lucky because she went with Li Jie.
If there is really bad weather, the best we can do is stay at home and spend the winter.
As long as you stock up on food in advance, it won't be a problem at all.
The next day.
The train arrived at the station. Qin Nan did not expect that from the moment he got off the train, the journey had just begun.
The educated youth center they were going to was very remote, so they had to take a bus to another route and then notify the educated youth center to pick them up.
The road over the pasture is very poor and not open to traffic. To this day, animal-drawn vehicles are still the main means of transport.
When they arrived at the Educated Youth Office, Li Jie and Qin Nan waited for another three days before waiting for someone from the Educated Youth Office.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Outside the Educated Youth Office, a middle-aged man with dark skin and lean body, dressed as a herder, smiled and waved to the two of them.
"This way!"
Walking closer, the middle-aged man looked at the two of them carefully. Slowly, the smile on his face seemed to diminish a little.
'Those with thin skin and tender flesh will definitely not be able to do the job. '
'Here comes another young master and a young lady. '
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man suddenly sighed in his heart. They already had an 'eldest young master' there, and now there are two more.
What to do next!
"Hello, brother, are you from the 4th Brigade?"
Li Jie leaned over with a smile, and then took out the Medicare Dongfanghong cigarettes from his pocket as if by magic.
"Yo, good stuff!"
The middle-aged man lowered his head and glanced at the outer packaging of the cigarette, and the smile on his face became a little wider.
"What a good thing. I got it from someone else before I came here."
Li Jie smiled and gave the middle-aged man a cigarette, and then lit one for himself.
He recognized this man.
It's Lao Guo in "The Wrangler". The classic line, 'Lao Xu, if you want a wife or not, as long as you speak the golden mouth, I will bring it to you right away.' It came from Lao Guo.
"The taste of good cigarettes is really different."
After taking a long puff of cigarette, Lao Guo couldn't help but admire.
Li Jie laughed: "If you like it, I'll ask my friend to send some more later."
"You wouldn't dare!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Guo shook his head repeatedly.
"This cigarette is very expensive. If you can smoke it for a few puffs, it will be beautiful."
"Haha, brother, you are making a big deal out of yourself when you say this."
Li Jie shook his head and said: "From now on, we will be comrades in the same trench. There will be nothing to fight against."
"That's not the case."
"You're so young, you're so nice to talk to."
Lao Guo also laughed. At this moment, he suddenly forgot his previous evaluation.
Something like 'eldest young master'.
That's nothing.
If you can draw Dongfanghong every day, you might as well spend more time and teach others.
That right-hand man Xu Lingjun didn’t even know how to feed a horse or chop firewood at first, but isn’t he learning well now?
This is all due to his Lao Guo!
"By the way, brother, when do we set off?"
"anytime!"
Lao Guo smiled cheerfully, saying 'old brother', which sounded really comfortable.
"Then, brother, wait for us here for a while, and we'll go to the guest house to get our luggage."
Later, Li Jie stuffed the freshly opened bag of Dongfanghong into Lao Guo's arms.
"Brother, it may take us a long time to go. Please be patient. If you are in a hurry, just smoke."
After saying that, Li Jie didn't even wait for Lao Guo's reaction and immediately pulled Qin Nan to the guest house.
"Hey!"
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lao Guo opened his mouth and shouted, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Then, he looked down at the cigarette case in his hand.
Why does this cigarette case become more beautiful the more I look at it?
After admiring it for a while, Lao Guo stuffed the box of cigarettes into his arms.
Such good smoke cannot be wasted.
Keep it, and if someone comes to the house in the future, it will save your face if you leave.
As for normal times?
Just smoke a pipe.
Even a landlord's house can't afford to smoke such good cigarettes every day.
Lao Guo is still very clear about his identity.
After waiting for about a few minutes, Lao Guo walked to the side of the donkey cart with nothing to do, and then walked onto the cart board.
Using the sky as a quilt and the car as a bed, he just lay on the bed, ready to take a nap.
