Huaxian Railway Station!
Since there is only one train to Ningshi every day, and it passes through Huaxian County at seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yang's family got up at four o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanwu had asked Xiao Lizi to wait for them in the big truck early. Otherwise, with just two legs, the train would have left before they reached the county seat!
After getting off the truck, Zhou Yang and the driver Xiao Lizi said goodbye.
Then he hugged Bao'er and took Li Youwei's hand towards the train station across the road.
There was a ride-hailing when we came here, so Zhou Yang's family of three didn't have the opportunity to appreciate the charm of Huaxian Railway Station, but they did when they went back.
To be honest, it’s not great!
Even in Zhou Yang's eyes, this place is not as good as that shabby little bus station in Yunshan County!
There is no tall ticket office, just a low shabby house!
There is no cozy waiting room, just a row of awnings and old big benches.
This condition is really hard to describe!
After temporarily settling Li Youwei and Bao'er under the awning, Zhou Yang took the letter of introduction and household registration book to the ticket window.
There were not many people in front of the small shabby house that served as the ticket office, and Zhou Yang didn't even have to queue.
The conductor was a lesbian in her twenties, pretty and pretty, with a good attitude.
After seeing Zhou Yang, he immediately asked: "Comrade, where are you going?"
"Hello, two tickets to Ning City!" Zhou Yang said immediately.
"Ningshi, right?" the conductor said.
"right!"
"Okay, please show your letter of introduction and household registration book!"
Zhou Yang immediately took out his various documents and handed them in through the window!
After the check was correct, the conductor immediately confirmed: "Two train tickets from Huaxian to Ningshi, departing at 7:15 and arriving at one o'clock in the afternoon, a total of two yuan and twenty cents!"
"Is this the price of a hard seat?"
"yes!"
"Then are there any sleepers? A hard sleeper is fine too!"
Zhou Yang still remembers the hard seats of trains in this era. When they arrived here from the capital, they had to sit on the hard seats for three days and two nights. The nearly 90-degree right-angle seats almost made his waist crippled.
What's more, this time he brought a little girl like Bao'er with him, and Zhou Yang didn't want her to suffer along with him.
"Sorry, the sleeper berth needs approval from the relevant departments!"
Zhou Yang could only sigh. Where was he going to get the note? It was not easy to do. Even Zhang Hanwu didn't have that ability!
Although at the moment, except for business travelers, few people travel.
However, because there are too few trains, it is not easy to buy sleeper tickets, which are reserved for leaders.
"Then two hard seats!"
He returned to Li Youwei and Bao'er with the tickets and briefly explained the situation!
Seeing that Zhou Yang was a little depressed, Li Youwei immediately comforted and said: "Just take a hard seat, it will only be five or six hours, and it will pass if you bear it!"
"Well, that's the only way to go!" Zhou Yang said.
"Neither Bao'er nor I have ever taken a train. The hard seats allow us to see the scenery along the way. We don't want to waste time sleeping!"
Knowing that this girl was trying to comfort him, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Okay!"
Soon, seven o'clock arrived!
As the whistle sounded, a green train approached from far away and soon arrived at the platform.
Since there is no protection near the train station, the speed of the train is very slow.
"puff!"
The green car stopped at the platform, and then the door was opened by the conductor.
Three or five passengers got off the top and hurriedly walked outside the station!
Afterwards, Zhou Yang and others began to check in and board the train.
Since there were not many passengers in total, it was not crowded at all when boarding the train. This was quite different from Zhou Yang's memory of getting on the train at the old train station.
I remember that when he came to Yunshan County from the capital to jump in line a few years ago, he also took the train.
On the day I left, the platform was crowded with people and it was dark.
Zhou Yang was carrying a big bag on his back and holding a small suitcase in his hand. He was crowded in the crowd like a small boat in the stormy sea. He was a little confused at the time.
He was afraid that he would be pushed onto the track accidentally and be crushed directly by the train.
Fortunately, we finally got into the car without any danger and arrived at our destination without any danger.
After getting on the bus, there were not many people in the car!
In the 1970s, there was little population movement, and this train was not going to a prosperous big city, so there were even fewer passengers.
But that’s okay, if there are fewer people, you don’t have to squeeze in with others.
What's more, the couple only bought two tickets. If there were too many people, Bao'er would have to be held in his arms the whole time, which would be too tiring.
There are only a few people in the carriage now, and even if one person occupies three seats, no one will care.
Li Youwei and Baoer were very happy after getting in the car, looking here and there, just like a pair of curious babies.
As for Zhou Yang, his mood is much more complicated.
There is nostalgia, but more of it is disgust!
This is not a travel tool, it is completely an antique in a museum!
He had forgotten how many years he had not ridden on this kind of green train, and it had hard seats. Compared with the fast and convenient high-speed trains and airplanes of later generations, this thing was really tiring!
But there is no other way, now I can only rely on this thing when traveling far away!
While Li Youwei and Bao'er's attention was on the train, Zhou Yang immediately took out the textbook and manuscript paper from his backpack, and then immersed himself in translating.
Originally, Zhou Yang planned to use this half-month vacation to complete the translation of these two textbooks, so that he could hand the manuscript to Lao Xu when he passed by Ning City on his way home.
However, in the past half month, he had been busy with farm matters most of the time, and he did not have much time to translate the manuscript.
So much so that of the two books I brought with me, only one has been translated, and the remaining one has just begun!
Fortunately, chemistry itself is his strong point, and it was also the subject he mainly studied for most of his previous life, so the translation is very fast.
What's more, like chemistry and physics, many formulas don't need to be translated, just copy them!
In less than two hours, Zhou Yang finished translating one chapter.
At this rate, he could finish translating this textbook in two days at most!
However, after working for such a long time, he was a little hungry. He immediately stood up and stretched, and then prepared to ask Li Youwei and Bao'er to have breakfast.
But he didn't see the wife and daughter. He raised his head and glanced around the carriage, only to find that the mother and daughter were asleep diagonally opposite him.
Looking at the two people sleeping soundly and sweetly, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile knowingly.
They got up too early today. If he wasn't in good physical condition, he might not be able to hold on.
Zhou Yang did not disturb them, but took out the water bottle and the food prepared by his mother for them from his backpack.
After unscrewing the kettle and drinking some water, and eating something casually, Zhou Yang started working hard again.
