Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 439

Jiajia
"Is this, Sha Zhu's dish?"

Jia Zhang looked at the meat in Qin Huairu's hand, and spoke excitedly.

"Well, there is a bad breed like Xu Damao in the factory, and Zhuzi dare not take it, so he can only go home to cook. I said that our house is already on fire, so he doesn't have to bother him. It will be cooked in a while, and just ask the stick to deliver a bowl. "

While talking, Qin Huairu had already poured the meat into the pot, and Jia Zhang curled her lips when she saw it, "Xu Damao is a bad breather, I will let him spit it out sooner or later."

"You don't need to leave too much for Silly Zhu, just give him some. This guy has already had his fill in the factory."

Qin Huairu didn't speak, and continued to cook.

When the dinner was ready, Stick walked quickly to Sha Zhu's house with a bowl in his hand. The bowl was piled high with vegetables, and there were four slices of meat on it.

"Silly uncle, it's time to eat."

Stick walked into the door, shouted at Silly Zhu who was resting on the bed, then put the dishes on the table, couldn't help but put a piece of meat in his mouth, and ran away.

"Little bastard, you still steal the meat of the master, so you want to beat him."

Silly laughing, walked to the table and sat down, took a piece of steamed bun from the pot on the stove, and ate slowly.

"It's really only three yuan."

After Sha Zhu finished the food, there was only three yuan.

"This day."

"I still have to find a wife who loves me."

The next day, Yang Xiaotao left the courtyard with his bag on his back like he was going to school in his previous life.

When I came to the rolling mill, I was stopped by Section Chief Zhao at the door.

"Mr. Yang, the factory arranged for Wang Hao to go with you this time."

Wang Hao was also carrying a bag beside him, and there were towels and water tanks hanging beside him, seeing Yang Xiaotao smiling.

"That's great. I thought that I would have no one to talk to on the way with Director Wang."

"Yang Gong, Wang Hao will arrange the living arrangements for you. I hope you will come back safely after going out this time."

Section Chief Zhao said, the meaning in the words was very clear, safety first.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

"Well, the factory has applied for a car for you, and I will pick you up in a while and send it to the train station."

While the two were talking, a jeep came from afar and stopped at the door.

A driver in military uniform came down and saluted Zhao Chuanjun.

"Hello, Section Chief Zhao. I was ordered to pick up the two comrades to the train station."

Zhao Chuanjun returned the salute, then pointed to Yang Xiaotao and the two, "It's them, please be sure to send them to the train station before 08:30."

"Yes."

Afterwards, the driver and Yang Xiao met each other, and the three of them got into the car and left the rolling mill.

The car ran very fast and arrived at the train station in a short while.

Forty-Nine City is not only the political center of the country, but also an important transportation hub.

The construction of the railway station is also majestic.

Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao bid farewell to the driver, and the two watched on the platform for a while.

Wang Hao took out two train tickets from his pocket and handed one to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took it, a train ticket printed on hard paper, with the words "Express Train Ticket" written on it, the location is from Sijiu City to Quancheng, and there is an introduction below, "Limited to 3 trains per day, valid for 2 days" .

Yang Xiaotao watched it for a while, but didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. He also took a train in his previous life, but the train tickets were all limited to the same day's train, and the validity period was 3 days.

Why is it still 3 times now?
The validity period has also become 2 days?
Could it be different?
Yang Xiaotao asked Wang Hao who was on the side, but Wang Hao didn't know very well, he just heard people say that it seems that if you take the train on the day, if you get off halfway, you can get on the train within two days with the ticket, but the number of times can't exceed three times.

Yang Xiaotao felt that this statement was unreliable, but he didn't ask again.

This small episode does not affect Yang Xiaotao's novelty, this is the first time he has taken a train in this era.

Looking at the time, there was still half an hour before the ticket check had already begun, and the two went to line up.

Fortunately, there are not many people who make trains, and train tickets are not easy to get these days. They are usually used for business trips, or if they are traveling far away, they will walk on their own if the journey is close.

And buying a train ticket also needs proof.

The ticket inspector wore a military overcoat and spoke politely. He drew a line on Yang Xiaotao's ticket and let Yang Xiaotao pass.

When the two entered the platform, they saw an old-fashioned train lying on the rails. At this moment, the locomotive was emitting light gray smoke.

This is, a steam train.

At this moment, a flash of light flashed in Yang Xiaotao's mind, but he didn't catch it, and he couldn't remember it when he thought about it again.

Wang Hao reminded Yang Xiaotao to get in the car, and the two walked in.

In this day and age, the seats inside the trains were still made of wood, all brushed with tung oil, very smooth and free from burrs.

Just a little cool ass.

People came up from around one after another. They looked at the back of the train ticket, which showed the seat number. After finding it, Yang Xiaotao sat inside near the window, and Wang Hao sat near the corridor.

This was also arranged in advance by the security department. They can have three people in this seat, but this time there are only two people.

After waiting for about ten minutes, there was someone on the opposite seat, a young man in a small grade, carrying a military satchel, parted hair, and a smile on his face.

The young man sat down and did not speak to the two of them. Instead, he knelt on the chair and talked to the person in front of him.

Listening to the voice, there are seven or eight people, there are men and women, they should be together.

Yang Xiaotao checked the time, it was already past 09:30, the car was still in place, and he didn't know what to wait for.

After a while, when there was no one in the aisle, the sound of the conductor closing the door was heard.

Then, I felt the sound of framing, my feet began to tremble, and the scene outside the window began to slowly reverse.

"Sit down for the first time."

Wang Hao put his backpack aside and asked Yang Xiaotao who was looking at the window.

"Well, the first time!"

Yang Xiaotao turned around and said, silently adding in his heart, in this life.

"I used to sit in the war, but at that time there were not so many stools, and the big guys were all in the same compartment. When there were too many people, I would panic, and there was no toilet. At that time..."

Wang Hao began to talk about the past years, and Yang Xiaotao listened from the side, relieving the boredom of the journey.

The speed of the train is not fast, it is estimated to be only sixty to seventy kilometers.

But the sound of colliding with the track is constant, and even when turning a corner, you can feel the wagon shaking, and you can feel your body floating to the side.

The stool was hard and the space was narrow. After sitting for a while, Yang Xiaotao felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the surrounding area is empty, and there is no one on the opposite side.

Yang Xiaotao stretched his legs and moved his hands and feet.

The same is true for Wang Hao. After talking for a while, he took out the water tank and sat there waiting.

The split young man on the opposite side was still interested, still lying on the seat and joking with the opposite one, Yang Xiaotao listened for a while, these people should be students, this time it seems to be an internship.

After listening for a while, I heard a female voice in the aisle.

"Which comrade needs hot water?"

"Does any comrade need hot water?"

The sound was clear and crisp, and spread throughout the car.

Yang Xiaotao straightened his back and saw a female conductor wearing sleeves, pushing a wooden shelf with a large iron pot on it, with steam still bubbling from the spout.

Soon, the water jars were taken out one by one, and the conductor began to pour water.

"Free hot water."

As Wang Hao said, he took Yang Xiaotao's water tank.

The young man on the opposite side finally sat back in his original seat, found an enamel jar from his bag, and confronted the two of them.

"Hello! I'm Li Lei, a student of Nanyuan Technical College."

"Hello there!"

Yang Xiaotao replied without introducing his identity, "Are you going to Quancheng?"

Li Lei did not hide anything, or he said that in his world, everything is beautiful, and comrades should treat each other honestly.

"No, let's go to Qindao. There is a shipyard there, and we will go there for an internship."

Speaking of this, Li Lei's face was full of excitement.

"The shipyard, that is a great factory, amazing! The future ships of the motherland depend on you."

Yang Xiaotao praised, Li Lei was a little proud.

"We will definitely work hard and overcome any difficulties!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile.

The conductor came and poured hot water for the three of them, and Wang Hao got up after taking it.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and continued chatting with Li Lei.

After a while, Wang Hao came back, sat in his original position, and joined the conversation.

Woo woo

A roar sounded, and Yang Xiaotao turned his head to look out the window. A train passed by on the side track, and the gray smoke from the locomotive was like a thick line.

"It's a truck!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao staring out the window intently, Li Lei thought he didn't know, so he quickly explained, "I guess it should be pulling coal. Look at the…"

But at this time, Yang Xiaotao didn't listen at all.

Thinking of the roaring locomotive in my mind, the smoke is the result of burning coal.

Burning coal, steam engine.

Steam engine!

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand suddenly, fist and palm together, making a crisp sound.

Wang Hao and Li Lei were confused, and then saw Yang Xiaotao take out a notebook from his backpack, and quickly write down the words "steam engine" on a piece of blank paper.

Then Yang Xiaotao fell into silence again.

Li Lei saw Yang Xiaotao write three words, but he didn't pay attention to what he wrote.

It's just that I didn't have much friendship when I met and said something, so I didn't say much when I saw this, and continued to look back and dream of a bright future with those classmates.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, Wang Hao didn't bother him. He just sat up straight and took a look in the carriage.

In the front, Team Leader Yu was reading seriously with a newspaper in his hand, and behind him were his comrades.

Even so, he never let up.

The train is still moving forward, and the time is passing by. The young men and women who were full of energy before are now worn out by the shaking train.

It was much quieter in the car.

Yang Xiaotao checked the time, it was already twelve o'clock.

Originally, I wanted to read a book on the train to pass the boring time, but in this environment, I couldn’t see it at all. It’s better to look at the scenery outside the window.

To be honest, Yang Xiaotao was a little scared.

When he came to this world, he didn't know whether he had traveled to a parallel time and space, where there happened to be a world full of love courtyards, or it was just a world of film and television dramas.

If the former is fine, at least the world view is there, the same as in the previous life.

But if it's the latter, then Yang Xiaotao will feel that the main body of the world is in the courtyard house, in the Forty-Nine City.

But after leaving Forty-Nine City, the people I meet, the things I see, even the space and time all appear suddenly.

It's like there is a creature in the dark, reaching out to light up pieces of puzzle pieces, and he is the candle in the hands of the Creator.

嘿

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed.

He thinks too much, no matter what kind, what he has to do is to live in the present moment.

Looking at the receding trees on both sides of the railway, there are still figures that appear from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao believes that everything he sees is real.

Because, he cannot deny his own existence, nor will he deny it.

Leaning on the seat, Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes and rested his mind. Following the monotonous rumble of the train, he thought about it one after another, unable to fall asleep, and did not want to open his eyes.

The train stopped and went, and soon stopped at Dezhou Station.

As soon as he stopped, Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes and looked out the window.

In his previous life, he passed by Dezhou on a business trip, and there were many mobile stores on the platform, all of them yelling for Dezhou Braised Chicken.

He also bought it, but it tasted the same as the one in the supermarket.

Later, I heard from local people in Texas that this authentic Texas grilled chicken cannot be eaten in vacuum bags, but freshly prepared.

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about something, and looked out the window. A group of people got out of the car and got on, but he didn't see any grilled chicken.

But that's right, these days, those who make grilled chicken don't dare to sell it here.
