As soon as he boarded the train, an unpleasant smell invaded his nostrils, and Yu Xiangnian couldn't help retching several times.
The smell seemed to be mixed with the smell of sweat, foot odor and food. After fermentation in the stuffy hot compartment, it gave off a sour and weird smell.
Yu Xiangnian pulled up the clothes on his chest and covered his mouth and nose.
Cheng Jingmo led the way carrying two large boxes, looking back at Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie behind him from time to time.
Yu Xiangnian held Xiaojie with one hand, covered his mouth and nose with clothes with the other hand, and followed Cheng Jingmo closely.
The densely packed people in the carriage suddenly dispersed.
After walking several carriages, we finally arrived at their carriage.
In order to make Yu Xiangnian suffer as little pain as possible, Cheng Jingmo bought a sleeper berth, which was the best seat at the moment.
It's just that there is nothing better, otherwise he would not be willing to spend it on Xiang Nian no matter how expensive it is.
Cheng Jingmo put the two boxes under the bed and took a long breath.
Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie sat on the edge of the bed, looking around.
It was the first time for both of them to take a train, which was novel and disgusting at the same time!
Cheng Jingmo put down the backpack on his shoulders and took out water and food from it.
Cheng Jingmo brought his own dry food, including pancakes he baked, some pastries he bought, and some deep-fried small fish as snacks.
"Would you like some water?" Cheng Jingmo asked Yu Xiangnian.
From the time he got on the train to now, more than 20 minutes later, Yu Xiangnian felt that he smelled all over his body.
She shook her head, "I'm going to wash my hands."
There are four beds in a small private room, two at the top and two at the bottom.
When Yu Xiangnian came back after washing his hands, an old couple was talking to Cheng Jingmo.
When she got closer, she found out that the old couple wanted to change beds with Cheng Jingmo.
The old couple bought their tickets late and couldn't buy a berth together. The old couple were out and needed to take care of each other, so they approached Cheng Jingmo to discuss changing.
If it was Cheng Jingmo alone, he would definitely change without hesitation.
But now that he had Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie with him, he didn't trust them, so he looked at Yu Xiangnian with a questioning look.
Yu Xiangnian looked at the ticket in the old woman's hand. It was at the end of the carriage, and their seat was near the front.
Look at the two old people, who are in their sixties.
Yu Xiangnian thought it would be okay to change seats, "Let's change seats with them."
The two old men thanked them profusely, but Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo said that they were welcome even if it was a trivial matter.
"I'm not going to sleep now. You stay here with us. When it's time to go to bed, you're in the past." Yu Xiangnian said to Cheng Jingmo.
The train started.
Xiaojie lay on the upper bunk and looked at the scenery outside the window, while Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo sat on the lower bunk.
Yu Xiangsi leaned on Cheng Jingmo's shoulder, played with his fingers, and chatted with each other.
Opposite was an old couple, also chatting quietly.
Yu Xiangnian got up too early today. After more than an hour, she yawned one after another.
Cheng Jingmo said: "You go to sleep for a while, I will come back later."
After covering Yu Xiangnian with a quilt, Cheng Jingmo straightened up and glanced at Xiaojie on the upper bunk.
Xiaojie fell asleep at some point, still lying on his stomach with his face facing the window.
He covered Xiaojie with the quilt again and returned to his place.
In a small private room, people were lying on four beds.
Cheng Jingmo thought he had gone to the wrong place, so he looked at the ticket in his hand and checked the location of the bed.
This is it, yes.
But why are there a woman in her twenties and a little girl about three years old lying on the bed?
The woman had her back to the corridor and was playing with the child.
Cheng Jingmo walked to the bedside and said, "Comrade, this comrade."
The woman turned around and Cheng Jingmo took the ticket in his hand and showed it to her, "You're sitting in the wrong seat. This is my seat."
The woman was surprised and said: "It's impossible, this is the seat on my ticket!"
Cheng Jingmo emphasized again, "This is my seat."
The woman straightened up and rummaged through her pockets, but found nothing.
She said: "Comrade, my ticket is missing, but I remember that my seat is seat 36 in carriage No. 10."
Cheng Jingmo said calmly: "I'll go find the conductor to solve the problem."
The woman quickly said: "Comrade, if you see that I am a woman with a child, please give me this seat. You can replace a hard seat ticket and I will pay you."
Cheng Jingmo didn't want to get entangled with her, so he turned back to the corridor outside and looked for the conductor.
The conductor followed Cheng Jingmo to the bed.
The woman had already gotten up and sat on the edge of the bed. The child was sitting on the bed, playing alone.
The conductor asked the woman to show her ticket, but she still said her ticket was missing.
The conductor said: "Since you don't have a ticket, please make up for it. This seat belongs to this comrade. Please go to the ordinary car outside."
The woman discussed with the conductor in a nice voice, "Comrade conductor, you see I have a child with me, and the child can't bear to sit on the hard seat. Could you please give me a replacement ticket so that this comrade can sit on the hard seat?"
The conductor said ruthlessly: "I am only responsible for checking seats according to tickets. This ticket belongs to this comrade, so this comrade should sit here."
The woman pretended to be pitiful again and said to Cheng Jingmo, "Comrade, let's discuss it, okay?"
"Okay." Cheng Jingmo said calmly, "But mine is a sleeper ticket, so you have to give me the difference."
The ordinary ticket from Nancheng to Sucheng is 30 yuan per ticket, and the sleeper ticket is 65 yuan per ticket, which is more than twice as expensive.
The woman began to kidnap her morally, "You comrade, you are a young and strong man, what's wrong with sitting on a hard seat? You still want to ask me for the price difference! It's not easy for me to go out with my children as a woman, but you, a man, don't know how to give up." point."
Cheng Jingmo's face was expressionless, "Are you going to pay the difference or give me your seat?"
In fact, he had already seen that the woman wanted to take advantage.
If the woman was honest from the beginning, he would change seats with her because she is a woman with a child.
But this woman kept finding various reasons to mess around. The more this happened, the less Cheng Jingmo wanted to change seats.
The woman started to act rogue, "Why do you want me to give it to you? This is my position, but I can't find the ticket now!"
The woman seemed to have remembered something and looked at Cheng Jingmo with suspicious eyes, "You didn't pick up this ticket, right? You see my ticket is missing, and you, the train has been leaving for more than an hour, and you just came to find it Seat, your previous seat is definitely not this!"
Cheng Jingmo said: "Your ticket is in the hands of your child."
The woman's bag was placed on the bed. The child behind her opened her bag at some point and took out all the contents inside.
The woman's expression changed, and she quickly turned around and grabbed the ticket from the child's hand, crumpled it into a small ball, and was about to throw it out the window.
