The father and daughter set off early the next morning. They had to take a bus to the county before taking a train to the provincial capital.
Because they only went there for a few days, Qin Ying didn't pack much for them. The father and daughter only carried one bag each and packed lightly. Su Qingyun noticed that her father held his hand tightly from the moment they got on the bus to the county seat. The bag inside was so hard that veins popped out of my hands.
Seeing that her father was so nervous, Su Qingyun suspected that her father had brought all his wealth with him to the provincial capital this time, right?
"Yunyun, why don't you sleep for a while? Dad will call you when the time comes." Su Aimin felt a little distressed when he saw the blue and black eyes of his daughter.
In order to go to the provincial capital this time, Su Qingyun stayed up for two days and nights to write a detailed report. It not only detailed the principles and functions of the harvesting tractor, but also proposed further improvement plans and extensions in other fields on this basis. Since she was going to communicate, she had to come up with something real so that the trip would not be in vain.
"It's okay, just wait until you get on the train and then sleep." Su Qingyun shook her head and said. It was impossible to sleep on this rickety car. The train tickets bought by the Agricultural Bureau for them were sleeper tickets, so they could have a good rest.
"That's okay too."
Soon, the car arrived at the county. The father and daughter saw that the train's departure time was still early, so they found a small shop to get something to eat.
The two of them ordered a cage of steamed buns and two bowls of porridge. The white and soft steamed buns were still steaming. Su Qingyun picked up a steamed bun with a round belly and bit into it. The soft and soft skin broke open, and the delicious gravy immediately penetrated into her. Her mouth was filled with the fragrance of meat. She sighed with satisfaction, it smelled so good!
Su Aimin ate quickly, finishing a bowl of porridge in a few gulps and a fist-sized bun in two or three gulps, and his mouth was full of oil.
"So, are you done eating? Let's go when you're done." Su Aimin took money from his bag to pay the bill.
Su Qingyun glanced at it, "Good guy, her father really brought all his wealth to this great unity. It seems that her father really wants to do something big!"
Thinking about it this way, she was a little excited.
"Let's go." Su Aimin took Su Qingyun to the train station.
The county train station was not big. It looked old and shabby, but there were a lot of people. It was comparable to the grand scene of the department store that Su Qingyun saw at that time. People carrying large and small bags were crowded.
All kinds of messy smells mixed into Su Qingyun's nostrils, making her almost spit out the buns she just ate.
"Yun, hurry up, we're in the front car." Su Aimin protected his bag with one hand and held his daughter with the other. He was a tall man, but it took a lot of effort to squeeze into the train.
Today's trains are all green trains, and the hard seats are all made of wooden strips, which is annoying to look at.
When they arrived in their sleeper car, the number of people dropped sharply, and the air smelled much better. Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the catastrophe.
This crowded train scene is comparable to the Spring Festival Transport in later generations. It’s so terrifying!
Su Aimin held the train tickets and looked for their seats. He and Su Qingyun were in bunk beds. He looked at the ladder between the bunks and said, "Yunyun, you can sleep down there." He was afraid that Su Qingyun would fall when he climbed up and down. With.
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded.
Each sleeper compartment on the train has four beds. Su Aimin looked around, closed the compartment door, and put his luggage on the shelf on the side. He took out the small bag with money inside, thought about it, and stuffed it. In the pillow on the upper bunk.
He felt uneasy again, so he found some clothes and wrapped the pillow around before he was finally satisfied.
Su Qingyun looked at her father's series of actions and widened her eyes, "Dad, you are not so careful, are you?" There are few people buying sleeper tickets now. There are no people here at all, and the two beds opposite are still empty. Know if anyone.
"It's always good to be careful." Last time we met kidnappers in the county, this train was a mixed bag, everyone was there, so we had to be on guard.
That's true. Su Qingyun nodded and looked at his bed. Although the white bedding looked old, it was clean and there was no strange smell.
It was still early, and Su Aimin was sitting on the lower bunk next to his daughter. Su Qingyun took out the book he had brought, and it looked like it was the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".
Su Aimin glanced at it casually and widened his eyes. Can his daughter understand this kind of tadpole book now?
"Hello, is there anyone inside?" When the train was about to leave, there was a knock on the compartment door, and Su Aimin opened the door.
Su Qingyun raised his eyes and took a look. He was a middle-aged man with a gentle look. He was wearing a rare suit of this era, gold-rimmed glasses, and was carrying a small suitcase. He looked like a scholar or professor. people.
The man sat down on the lower bunk opposite them and greeted Su Aimin and his daughter with a smile, "Hello, you two, are you going to the provincial capital too?"
The provincial capital is the final stop of this train.
"Yes." Su Aimin was very fond of this kind of intellectual. He was also bored, so he simply started chatting with the man.
"You are not from Luoshui County, are you?" Su Aimin said.
The man smiled and asked curiously: "No, but how did you see it?"
"You can't find anything like the clothes you're wearing in the entire county." Su Aimin's eyes were stinging. The clothes on the man were not cheap at first glance. They looked handmade and were not necessarily easy to find even in provincial capitals.
"It turns out that's why I'm from the provincial capital and I came here to do something." The man smiled, glanced at Su Qingyun, and his eyes fell on the book in her hand.
"Brother Su, is this your daughter?"
"Yes, my daughter, you name me, Uncle Qi." In just a few moments, the two of them had exchanged names.
Su Qingyun raised his eyes blankly, what were they talking about? She was too entranced to listen.
"Uncle Qi." Su Qingyun said obediently. It is always the right thing to call someone.
Qi Chu looked at the ignorant girl, a smile flashed in his eyes, and asked gently: "Can you understand this book?"
"Yeah." Su Qingyun nodded.
Qi Chu was a little shocked. The original version of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" is a rare book nowadays. What's even more rare is that this little girl was fascinated by it. It's really not easy!
The smile on his face became warmer, "Are you still in school?"
"I'm in my second year of high school." Su Aimin said proudly, "My grades are so good, the principal even praised me."
Su Qingyun suddenly felt a little ashamed. The principal just said those words, and her father would brag to everyone.
"Really? That's incredible." Qi Chu praised.
As they chatted, the train arrived at the next station and stopped slowly. Through the window glass, a large number of people could be seen crowding onto the train. Su Qingyun could hardly imagine the passenger capacity of today's trains.
"No. 18, it should be right here!" A slightly shrill female voice sounded, and one hand opened the door of the compartment. The three of them were startled, frowning at the woman who came in, and did not knock on the door. Just come in, why are you not polite at all?
The woman was wearing a bright red shirt, black trousers, and two shiny braids. She had regular features and powdered face, but it could be seen that she was not too young.
When she saw the three of them looking over, she greeted them quite familiarly, "Hey, this place is full, it seems I'm the only one missing!"
She looked at her bed and frowned, why was it up there?
The woman looked at the three of them without leaving any trace, and saw that Su Aimin and the woman were wearing slightly ordinary clothes. She rolled her eyes and automatically passed over Qi Chu, who looked like she was not an ordinary person. She said to Su Qingyun with a smile, "Little sister. Son, can it be okay for me to discuss something with you?"
"Um?"
"My legs and feet are not very good, so I can't climb up and down very well. Please see if I can change positions with you. You are young and have a nimble body."
If you don't want to change with the one on the lower bunk, why don't you change with her? Su Qingyun smiled, this is the persimmon's special pick for softness.
Before she could answer, her father said with a cold face: "This is not okay, eldest sister, my daughter is still young and her bones are soft. She will not feel well if she falls. Forget it. Be careful, or you Why don't you ask the conductor to change your bed?"
"No, brother, this isn't me going out to a woman's house alone. I think we all have a good rapport, so I can take care of you together with the big guy." The woman said with a shy face, but she was gritting her teeth in her heart. She didn't want to call her eldest sister. Look at your age.
"Auntie, I'm sorry." As soon as Su Qingyun said it, the woman's face twisted for a moment. Who does this little girl call auntie?
Su Qingyun and Su Aimin are indeed father and daughter. They have the same spirit when it comes to irritating people, and they are willing to give in. She smiled and said: "If you really want to sleep on the lower bunk, give me the money for the lower bunk, and I can switch with you." , after all, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue."
The price of the upper berth and the lower berth are not the same. She just wants to take advantage of it. How can it be so easy?
Qi Chu coughed lightly against his throat and couldn't help but smile. This girl is really sharp-tongued.
The woman's smile froze on her face, and after a long while she gritted her teeth and said, "That's no need. I'll just sleep on the upper bunk. The upper bunk is fine too."
She climbed up to the upper bunk with a sullen face and never said a word to a few people again. Qi Chu felt the low air pressure above and sighed inwardly. If he had known better, he would have bought a ticket for a separate compartment.
The train continued to rumble forward, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded, including peaceful countryside, vast fields, green mountains, huge smoking chimneys, and hard-working farmers.
The setting sun slowly sets, condensing its dazzling light, leaving an orange afterglow in the world, covering the entire sky like beautiful silk and satin. No matter how exquisite the dyeing technique is, it cannot be compared. The rays of light sway in from the car window, printing beautiful silhouette.
Su Qingyun put down the book and was fascinated by the book. Today, the vast face of this era clearly appeared in front of her for the first time.
Real people, real scenery, all these calmed her slightly impetuous heart. She seemed to finally have a sense of belonging to this era.
