Plane red envelope

Chapter 574

woo woo woo...

The whistle on the train was whistling, and white smoke came out in bursts, and it seemed that it was about to set off!
It's a pity that not all the students from the engineering college are drawn to the common people, so the occupancy rate of this train is less than 70%!

In the last carriage, the third son and the old man Zhang sat opposite each other!

The third son is better, after all, he is a student of the engineering college, has seen the world, and knows how trains work.But Uncle Zhang on the opposite side is not so comfortable, the leather seat under his buttocks is so comfortable, he seems to be in the clouds...

"Passengers, please pay attention. The train from Jinling to Xuzhou is about to leave. Please bring your belongings and cooperate with the conductor to check the tickets..."

Suddenly, a sweet female voice sounded from a brass pipe at the top of the carriage. Of course, the ticket check is pure nonsense, because this train is free to ride, but this process must be taken, because this train cannot always be free !
"Little Sanzi, what's going on? Who's talking?"

The old man Zhang on the opposite side was very nervous for a while, and most of the people in this carriage were also like this.

"Uncle Zhang, it's nothing. This is the latest communication technology. To put it bluntly, it is the transmission of sound in the copper tube. It's not a big deal. You will get used to it after doing it a few times!"

Pants wipe, pants wipe, pants wipe...

Suddenly, the train moved slowly, and through the window, we could clearly see the scenery on both sides going backwards. Uncle Zhang and some unknowing people became even more nervous!

"This iron guy can really move, really can move!"

"It's, it's..."

"Oops, we're running, it's unbelievable!"

……

Similar voices can be heard endlessly, but after being surprised for a while, they regained their composure...

The train speeded up steadily, and soon left Jinling City, passed through the hills, and passed through the fields, leaving only clusters of white smoke and immortal legends.

The train was getting faster and faster, and at the end it was already running like lightning, the scenery on both sides of the railway was retreating rapidly, and the old man Zhang in the carriage was completely dumbfounded!
According to this speed, it is really possible to rush back to my hometown within half an hour!
"Uncle Zhang, I didn't lie to you, the speed of this train is really fast!" Xiao Sanzi explained with a proud face, and he said: "This period is the trial run of the train, so it is free. You will be charged after a period of time, so you are lucky to catch up! You will have to spend money if you want to do it after a month!"

"What? You still have to spend money?" Old man Zhang subconsciously covered his pockets when he heard this. There was the vegetable money he got from selling vegetables this morning!
"Of course you have to spend money!" Xiao Sanzi said in a natural tone: "The basic cost of this locomotive is no less than 20 gold coins, plus this long railway? Plus the conductor's salary What about the maintenance cost? All the costs will not be less than 40 gold coins! That's 40 gold coins!"

"What? Forty..."

Old man Zhang was stunned. He sells and grows vegetables all day, and his annual income does not have a single gold coin, but such a strong guy who can run costs 40 gold coins!
Old man Zhang's imagination is limited after all, so he doesn't know what kind of money these 40 gold coins add up to!
"Hehe..." Xiaosanzi smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly changed the topic: "Master Zhang, our small village is just between Jinling and Bengbu, so the train will stop there for four or five minutes. Minutes, get off the car quickly, if you are late, you will not be able to get off!"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Old man Zhang nodded his head and agreed, he was completely confused now, after all, the experience of taking the train was so novel!

The train arrived soon. This is the first stop of this train. It was one second later than originally planned. Of course, this is expected. If the train is not late, is it still called a train?

Little Sanzi, take old man Zhang off the train, and hand him a package, which contains two boxes of canned food, and a silver dollar he saved from living frugally!
"Uncle Zhang, I saved this money during my work-study program in the academy. You can pass it on to my mother. The other two boxes of canned food were distributed by the academy during the festival. You keep one box for yourself and take the other box back. Give my mother a taste..."

"This……"

Uncle Zhang didn't know what to do for a while. Now he began to wonder what kind of place the academy was. The mistress turned out to be very naughty, but he was not so sensible!

"Uncle Zhang, put it away quickly, the train is about to leave! According to the mission of the college, I have to go to Xuzhou!"

After Xiao Sanzi said this, he boarded the train without looking back. A whistle blew, and the train whizzed away!

Old man Zhang stood on the platform for a long time, and after careful recollection, he realized where it was. His small village was ten miles away!
Ten miles is nothing to him at all, and he can get home in just one meal!
It took him a whole night to reach Jinling City last night, but now that he has returned so quickly, everything seems to be in a dream!
"Isn't this old man Zhang! Did you get off that train?"

A surprised voice sounded from a cement house next to the platform. Old man Zhang followed the sound and found that the man was the son of the village chief!
"Isn't this Captain Li! What are you doing?"

The son of the village chief is a catcher in the county, so that's why Old Man Zhang is called that!

"Haha..." Catcher Li smiled and said, "I'm the station master of Zhengyang County Railway Station. Hey, I told you that you didn't understand! By the way, how does it feel to ride the train?"

Different from the old man Zhang, this Li Butou is a person who has experienced the world. He was demoted to the train station as the station master by the county magistrate after he was drunk and injured a rogue!
Today happened to be his first day on duty, and he thought nothing would happen, but he happened to meet old man Zhang from the same village!

"The feeling of taking the train?" Old man Zhang recalled it carefully, he couldn't say 123, in fact, he is still in the fog up to now!

In fact, he knew about this railway when it was built. At that time, there were a lot of strong laborers in their village, and the wages were really generous. They had three meals a day, and there were three big sons' wages every day!
It's just that he didn't expect that the railway would have such a function!
"Captain Li, get busy, I'm going back!"

In the end, old man Zhang didn't say anything, he hurriedly bid farewell to Catcher Li and returned to his village. After that, he met Xiao Sanzi's mother!

Xiaosanzi's mother is just an ordinary rural woman, she was moved to tears when she heard the ins and outs of the incident, her son is finally promising...
