Chapter 174 We Finally Meet 2
"Hello, sister. My name is Feng Qingxue. My boyfriend is injured and is in the hospital. I'm going to see him." Feng Qingxue said her destination. She didn't mention the name of the hospital, but only the name of the provincial capital.
After a brief conversation, Feng Qingxue knew the names of the two female passengers. The older one was Wang Cuilan, a department-level cadre of the Mining Bureau in her hometown city, and the younger one was Lu Aihong, a section-level cadre in the neighboring county. Both of them were on business trips to other provinces. They got off the train three to five days earlier than herself, but got on the train at the same station as herself and coincidentally chose adjacent berths.
Feng Qingxue asked the conductor after getting on the train. It would take half a month to reach her destination.
Half a month!
When she got this answer, Feng Qingxue almost couldn't breathe.
For her, who travels far away by plane or high-speed rail, what does fifteen days mean? It is half of a month and one-twenty-fourth of a year, which is so long that it makes people frightened.
She finally understood why no one is willing to travel far away unless it is absolutely necessary. It is too long.
Moreover, the ticket was not cheap. She spent 40 yuan on a sleeper.
Lu Aihong smiled and said, "We are from the same hometown. No wonder I feel so close to you in the train these days."
"Sister Aihong is right. My uncle's surname is Wang and my boyfriend's surname is Lu. Maybe we touched the spoon in the same pot a hundred years ago!" Isn't friendship the feeling generated by communication? You can't be thin-skinned when making friends.
Feng Qingxue was generous and generous. Wang Cuilan and Lu Aihong were very happy and enthusiastic.
"What a coincidence. It shows that we sisters are destined to meet!"
"Yes, sister Cuilan, you and sister Aihong must leave me your contact information. When I return home after seeing my boyfriend, I will visit the two elder sisters at their homes if I have the chance."
Wang Cuilan said, "Okay, don't forget. I welcome you to come anytime."
Lu Aihong also smiled and nodded. The three exchanged contact information, which was actually telling each other their home addresses.
With someone to accompany you, chatting about everything, the time on the train was not so unbearable.
At noon, the conductor pushed the dining car in. Feng Qingxue asked Wang Cuilan and Lu Aihong to buy first. After they bought their own meals, she handed the aluminum lunch box to the conductor and bought a loofah egg drop soup for 10 cents.
Black bread was in short supply, and it was gone when it was her turn, so she used two taels of food coupons to buy a white steamed bun.
Lu Aihong was sharp-eyed. Seeing that she took out military food coupons with a face value of five catties, the conductor gave her four catties and eight taels of national food coupons. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Xue, is there anyone in your family serving in the army?"
Feng Qingxue collected the food coupons and change she got back, turned around and smiled, "My boyfriend is a soldier."
Wang Cuilan and Lu Aihong suddenly remembered that Feng Qingxue said her boyfriend was injured and hospitalized. Hearing this, how could they not understand? This injury must have been caused by fighting, and they immediately felt a little respect.
When the conductor poured hot water into Feng Qingxue's military kettle, he filled it 80% full.
Before that, he could only pour a small half pot for Feng Qingxue.
This can't be blamed on the train attendant. Think about it, such a long train, so many passengers, even if the train attendant is a strong man, it is impossible to fill the kettle on the cart with all the passengers' kettles and cups.
. . Ten yuan can take a 500-kilometer train, it should be a sleeper, because I checked the information and found that the ticket from my home to Shanghai is 2.8 yuan, and the sleeper is very expensive, nearly 10 yuan, according to the distance calculated in the article. The ticket price is said to be that at that time, many third-line workers and soldiers spent their wages on travel expenses, so some did not go home for many years and only sent money o(╥﹏╥)o
