Chapter 173 We Finally Meet 1

After getting on the train, Feng Qingxue understood why many people would never travel far if they had nothing to do.

The train was very slow and needed to stop for maintenance. A major maintenance would take more than ten hours. If the journey was long, one would have to spend many days and nights on the train. In such a situation, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating was simply torture.

The above is one of the reasons. The second reason is that train tickets are not cheap, compared to the current salary level.

She was not short of money and bought a sleeper ticket. The hardship of those who bought seat tickets or did not even have seat tickets can be seen.

The sleepers nowadays are not like the sleepers in the 21st century, which have compartments and private rooms, with four or six berths in a room, which are clean and hygienic. The sleepers nowadays are large bunks on the upper and lower floors, regardless of gender.

Although it was almost the busy farming season, there were not many people in the sleeper cars, but the weather was hot and the smell of sweat and smelly feet was particularly strong.

Moreover, there were people wearing big shorts with bare chests and picking their toes.

Feng Qingxue observed that most of the people riding in the sleeper cars were cadres.

She didn't find it strange at all. The cadres had a slightly higher salary, so they could naturally enjoy the sleeper train service. Even the train attendants delivered hot water and sold food more often, and their attitude was particularly attentive.

However, there were obvious differences between cadres. Some were gentle and refined, while others were very bold.

The latter were those who picked their toes and wore big shorts. There were even one or two who bought black bread without washing their hands. The former wore long pants with shirts or sweatshirts and rarely made any indecent behaviors.

Black bread did not require tickets, and each person was limited to one per day.

Feng Qingxue, who had no shortage of food, bought one every day without hesitation to fill her stomach.

When black bread was not enough, she used food stamps and money to buy meals on the train. The staple food was either steamed buns, noodles or rice, and she would buy a vegetarian dish and occasionally an egg. It was not expensive. She could eat a full meal for two or three cents, but the taste was average.

It was hot, and it was inconvenient to bring cooked food on the train, so she had to buy it.

When she couldn't stand the heat, she would take the opportunity to go to the bathroom and take out a basin of warm water from the space to wipe her body. She was very cautious and didn't take off her clothes. She just put the wrung wet towel under her clothes to wipe. Fortunately, it was hot and she wore wide pants and a wide shirt. The dirty water was poured out directly.

She didn't dare to show her true face at home, let alone on the bus? Therefore, after brushing her teeth and washing her face every day, she had to continue to put on ugly makeup, but she couldn't wash her hair, so she always felt that her two braids exuded an unpleasant smell.

Her skin was very white, glowing, delicate and smooth. She always wore long-sleeved shirts. Even so, occasionally showing a little bit of her hands and neck that was not covered by the dark long-lasting foundation could still make people see a little clue, especially the passengers next to Feng Qingxue's berth. Fortunately, there were female passengers on both sides of her, one about 40 years old and the other 35 or 36 years old, who looked like smart and capable cadres.

When the sleeper car was not full, everyone had the same goal, the berths for men were connected, and the berths for women were next to each other, so as not to interfere with each other and minimize the inconvenience caused by men and women being in the same room.

The two female passengers who saw that Feng Qingxue was covering her face smiled, and the older one greeted Feng Qingxue,

"Girl, what's your name? I heard that your accent is the same as mine. Where are you going alone?"
