"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
With the long whistle, the train slowly entered the station, and then stopped steadily next to the platform!
The car door opened, the flight attendant opened the door, and a large number of passengers got out of the car.
As an extremely important transportation hub in the entire north, Ning City's transportation is very developed and convenient, so there are many passengers changing trains.
After a while, the platform was overcrowded.
Zhou Yang and Fan Debiao carried their luggage and moved with the crowd.
After the passengers who have gotten off the bus have basically finished getting off, the flight attendant will let the passengers who get on the bus board.
However, since the sleeper car was at the back, the two could only continue walking towards the back.
The further you go toward the back of the car, the fewer people are waiting to board.
Finally, the two of them arrived at Car No. 11. The conductor briefly checked their tickets and then let them get on the train.
After getting on the bus, the two quickly found the inner compartment where they were and walked in.
There are only four bunks inside, which look like two bunk beds, but none of them are occupied.
It's not that the passengers have gotten off the bus, but that there are no traces of human habitation at all.
Obviously, the soft sleeper compartment was empty until Zhou Yang and others boarded the train from the capital.
However, Zhou Yang didn't think there was anything he couldn't understand about this phenomenon.
Who would spend 16 yuan on a journey that can be completed with 2 yuan and 8 yuan? It’s not a waste of money!
Besides, you don’t have to be rich to be able to sit in the soft sleeper carriage, you also need to reach a certain level.
Therefore, it is normal if it is empty, but it is abnormal if it is full.
Compared with the hard sleeper compartment, the furnishings in the soft sleeper compartment are obviously better.
Not only is the bed wider and softer, but the small table beside the bed is also covered with a tablecloth and a lamp on it.
All in all, the living environment in the soft sleeper is much better than that in the hard sleeper.
The two of them had just placed their luggage when they felt the train shake, and then heard a long whistle again.
Zhou Yang knew that the train was about to start!
Sure enough, as soon as the thought flashed across his mind, the train started to move with a "clang" and "clang" and slowly drove out of Ningshi Railway Station.
The speed of the train is very slow, at least that's what Zhou Yang thinks.
After all, compared to the high-speed train with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, the green car with a speed of 34 kilometers per hour is really comparable to a "turtle speed".
So much so that Zhou Yang could even see the activities of ordinary people in the houses on both sides of the railway line through the car window.
There are women washing clothes, men feeding livestock, and children playing...
Seeing that Zhou Yang was in a daze, Fan Debiao immediately asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I'm thinking that this may be the most comfortable stretch of our journey. I don't know how to go next!" Zhou Yang said with a sigh.
"You haven't been to your brother's place?"
"without!"
"Then you are so brave. The northwest region is not as chaotic as here!" Fan Debiao said speechlessly.
His family is from the northwest region, and he is very familiar with the situation here.
Even though it has been so many years since liberation, the local security environment has not been very good. The one or two people who dare to go to the northwest alone are either really capable, or they are stupid and bold who do not understand the situation.
Looking at Zhou Yang’s situation, it’s obviously the latter!
"Chaos? How chaotic can it be? There won't be any bandits these days!"
"You can't tell for sure!"
Zhou Yang smiled and didn't care.
Although the current situation is not calm, the overall security situation is still very good. There is no need to pick up leftovers on the road or close the door at night, but the scene of occupying the mountain as king a few decades ago is no longer there.
Looking at the watch, it was almost half past one. The two of them had a simple bite, and then went back to their bunks to rest.
In order to catch the carriage this morning, the two of them got up at around five o'clock, and then their uncle Li Jianguo drove the carriage to the county seat.
The bus from Yunshan County to Ning City has poor roads. It is obviously a bus, but the journey is like riding a roller coaster, with no rest at all.
After all the hard work, both of them were tired.
Amidst the "creeping" sound of the train, the two fell asleep quickly!
.......
Eqi. Tuoshan Coal Mine!
"Ring ring ring..."
The bell of the end of work suddenly rang inside and outside the mine. As the bell rang, miners came up from the mine one after another.
Zhou Ping dragged his tired body and his "old buddy" and moved slowly with the miners.
The No. 3 mine where he works is several kilometers deep from the ground, and it is very laborious to get to and from work every day.
Mine shafts and water wells are different. Water wells are dug straight down, while mine shafts are dug diagonally.
It was better when going down the well, after all, it was downhill, but when going up the well, it was a steep climb. Without any physical strength, it was impossible to do such a job.
Moreover, when going to and from work, the miners have to bring the large animals that pull coal underground to the ground to feed fodder and drink water.
Perhaps it was because the cold he had suffered a few days ago had not gone away yet, but Zhou Ping felt extremely tired today.
But he didn't say anything and could only grit his teeth and persist.
No one here will sympathize with him, because everyone is in trouble.
Perhaps feeling Zhou Ping's fatigue, the big red mule he was partnering with slowed down, and turned back from time to time, rubbing its big head full of soot against Zhou Ping's shoulder.
This big red mule is six years old. One person and one mule have been working together in Tuoshan Coal Mine for three years, and they have developed a certain tacit understanding with each other.
After crossing the large platform underground, I walked for another ten minutes before reaching the top of the well.
Zhou Ping didn't bother to eat and rest, so he quickly took the big red mule to the nearby sink to drink water.
After the big red mule drank a few sips, he immediately took it to the barn to eat fodder.
Here, big livestock and miners are equally important.
And many times, miners would rather eat later or even eat less, so they have to serve their "buddies" well.
There is no way, below the mine, a big and strong animal can save the miners a lot of effort.
After settling down the big red mule, Zhou Ping trotted towards the large canteen not far away.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone shouting: "Zhou Zhiqing, your wife has been waiting for you for more than half an hour!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ping suddenly had the urge to escape.
If he hadn't had to go down to the well in the afternoon and wouldn't have the energy to work without eating, he would have turned around and gone back to the dormitory right now.
But at the same time, he also knew that it would be useless even if he returned to the dormitory.
That girl is completely stubborn. If she can't see herself, she will never give up. She might even chase her directly to her dormitory!
Thinking of this, he could only bite the bullet and walk into the cafeteria.
Just when he was about to line up for food, a tall girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, over 1.7 meters tall strode up to Zhou Ping, pulled him away.
"Let go, pull and pull like you want, don't be afraid of people laughing at you!" Zhou Ping scolded in a low voice.
"Everyone knows that you are my man. Whoever dares to laugh at me will have to tear his mouth apart if I don't!"
"It's not like I did it voluntarily..."
"Just tell me, is our marriage certificate true?" the tall girl asked proudly.
"Yes!" Zhou Ping said with a sigh.
"That's it!"
Then the girl said again: "Let's go, I have prepared a meal for you. If you dare not eat, I will go to your dormitory to sleep tonight!"
Zhou Ping's eyes widened, but thinking of this girl's temper, he could only walk towards the dining table in the end.
Seeing that Zhou Ping was reluctant but had to give in, the girl showed a proud smile on her lips.
