Wizards of the East at Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Train (The station short has been received, please rest assured to invest~)

July 1990, 7, advisable: moving into the house, breaking ground, offering sacrifices.Inauspicious: opening a business, getting married, traveling.

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, a whole week has passed since the day Li Ran received the admission letter again.

Of course, this day is also Saturday. Li Ran's father is off work today, while Li's mother is on Saturday and Sunday.

For others, today seems to be another ordinary and ordinary day, but for Li Ran's family, today is a special day.

Because today Li Ran's family of three will take the train to a special market in the capital: "Baoshi" to buy tools, books, clothing and other things used by Li Ran to go to school.

"Chengdu Ancient and Modern Records" records: "Lantern Market in the first month, flower market in February, silkworm market in March, brocade market in April, fan market in May, incense market in June, treasure market in July, laurel market in August, medicine market in September, The wine market in October, the plum market in November, and the Taofu market in December."

Although it is written on the characteristics of the market in the twelve months of the year in the ancient Bashu, it is used by people today in the market in the capital of the magic world.

Today's people call the market where the magic world in the capital is located "Treasure City".It is not only because it has the meaning of attracting wealth and treasure, but also because most of the items in the market are treasures that are difficult to see or do not understand the purpose of secular people.

Let’s skip the rush on the way to the train station for now.

After Li Ran's family of three arrived at the train platform, they stood there quietly waiting for the train to arrive.

"Honey, I'll go to the side to smoke a cigarette." Father Li took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, poured another cigarette from it, held it between the index finger and middle finger, and said to Mother Li who was standing beside him.

Mother Li turned around and looked at the clock hanging on the platform. Seeing that there was still some time before the departure time, she nodded.

"Hurry up and come back, I think the train is about to enter the station." Li's mother, who was holding Li Ran's little hand, turned her head and said to Li's father.

"En." Father Li responded and walked to a place with few people nearby, put a cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it.

Although there is no such thing as "no smoking" at the train station at this time. (At that time, let alone on the platform, it was common for everyone to smoke on the seat of the carriage.)
But Li's father didn't want Li Ran's mother and son to smoke his second-hand smoke.

In fact, it is very troublesome to buy a train ticket in this era, because you have to queue for a long time one day in advance (if you buy it on the same day, the queue will be longer), and Li's father also asked someone to find a relationship before he bought it easily. Three tickets.

Although in some areas in this era, if you don’t have a ticket, you can get on the train first and then make up for it, and you can hop on and off on the railway... (the visual sense of the small passenger car in 00)
As a result, even if many people bought a ticket, they would not be able to get on the bus due to too many people. There are too many people in the car, and there are too many people on the platform...

However, it is still too much trouble to make up for it on the bus, and people will always worry about revealing money on the bus... This is also the reason why Li's father bought the ticket in advance.

The train platforms of this era are basically overcrowded.

However, few people go out for travel this month, and this day is not a festival, so the number of people on the platform is not bad.

It's a pity that although there weren't too many people on the platform today, they definitely weren't few either.

The only thing that is gratifying is that there is no crowding on the platform when the train is not in the station-even if the train will change after it enters the station.

After a while, the sound of the train whistle of "woo woo woo" came from a distance, from far to near.

Li Ran stretched his head to look, and saw a classic green leather train slowly approaching from the horizon.

Father Li also saw this scene, so he took a deep breath of the cigarette, threw the butt of the cigarette under his feet and stomped on it, exhaling a big puff of smoke.

Afterwards, he squeezed through the crowd that suddenly became crowded next to him—the people on the platform would still look very crowded because of disorder when boarding the train, which also led to the crowding situation.

After Li's father arrived at Li Ran's mother and son, his left hand held Li Ran's other hand that was not held by Li's mother.With his right hand in front of his body, he tried his best to squeeze through the crowd and prepare to enter the train.

Li Ran glanced at his father.At this time, Father Li was like a warrior holding a shield, braving the turbulent waves, advancing step by step towards his goal.

After advancing like this for more than ten seconds, Li's father finally brought Li Ran and Li's mother into the carriage—they were the first ten to enter this carriage.

Father Li took a few breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.He turned to look at his wife and son.

After Li Ran saw his action, he raised his head and looked at his father, then gave him a thumbs up and praised him.

After Li's father saw it, he also stretched out his thumb, showing his big teeth, and praised his son back.

Li Ran's heart trembled when he saw this familiar smile, but he planned to take a stroll in Baoshi, the capital city after shopping, to see if he could find a place that sold wigs.

At that time, buy a wig with a watermelon skin hairstyle and give it to my dad.

Mother Li looked at the father and son who were playing Bao, and shook her head.

"Why are you still standing there, you two, hurry up and find a place to sit, there will be no seats in a while."

Mother Li pointed to the compartment with the other finger holding a large plastic bag, and said to Li Ran and his son.

"Oh, it was so hard to squeeze in, I almost forgot about it." Father Li patted the top of his head and said.

Li Ran looked at the few hairs that fell out with Li's father's actions, and sighed silently. He finally knew why his father had been developing more and more towards the Mediterranean in recent years.

I should pay more attention to these places, and don't follow my father's old path.Li Ran secretly remembered it in his heart.

"Quick, quick, now that there are few people, you can find a good seat." Father Li grabbed Li Ran's hand, and rushed into the carriage with his son and wife.

After a fierce "hand-to-hand" battle, the three of Li Ran's family finally found a few seats at the rear of the car, thanks to the fact that they didn't bring any luggage when they went out, only this big plastic bag in Mother Li's hand .

This is why they are much faster than others.But I can't catch up with such a good thing when I come back. It is conservatively estimated that I will take two big bags
From the city where Li Ran's family lives to the capital, according to the speed of the train at this time, it will take about 11-12 hours.

Because at this time, the train will stop when it arrives at a large station, and even a small station will stop, and sometimes even someone waving on the train track will stop the train, and people can hop on and off. Therefore, the time-consuming is much more wasted than later generations.

Li Ran and the others set off fairly early, but it was estimated that it would be around 10-11 pm when they arrived in the capital.

She said she didn't bring any luggage, but the foresighted mother Li still brought some food into the car—in the plastic bag she had been carrying in her hand.

At this time, instant noodles on the train are rare foods, and they cost three yuan and five for a bowl. You must know that eggs at this time can buy a whole five for one yuan.
It can be said that anyone who can eat instant noodles on the train is more or less a "decent person".

Li Ran's mother didn't bring any messy things, just a few bottles of homemade mung bean soup in the plastic bag.And her best pasta.

This time, Li's mother didn't make the sticky bean buns last time, because the journey was too long and the weather was very hot, especially in the crowded train carriage.

To be honest, sticky bean buns are neither a very filling food nor a food that can be kept for a long time in this kind of weather.

So this time, Mother Li simply made a few deep-fried twists to eat on the way.

The train didn't go very fast, which made Li Ran feel that time passed very slowly. Coupled with the hot weather, he was somewhat irritable now.

Li Ran simply took out a bottle of chilled mung bean soup wrapped in a towel from the plastic bag next to his mother, and drank it in a big gulp.

After licking his lips, Li Ran screwed on the bottle cap, wrapped the bottle in a towel, and put it back into his mother's bag.

The reason why it is wrapped in a towel is to prevent the coolness in the chilled mung bean soup from disappearing too early.Save as much time as possible.

After taking this sip, Li Ran seemed to relax instantly, and he no longer felt impatient.

Outside the train window, villages, or forests, quickly retreated in Li Ran's eyes.

After watching for a while, Li Ran seemed a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes, and said to his mother, "Mom, I'll sleep for a while."

Mother Li nodded: "Sleep, son, I will call you when we arrive at the station."

Li Ran didn't reply either. He folded his hands on his chest and tilted his head. He seemed to be slumped on the seat and fell asleep.

After a while, Li's father and Li's mother heard Li Ran's little snoring.

Mother Li turned around and looked down at Li Ran who was asleep, took out a towel from the bag, wiped the few drops of sweat that appeared on his forehead, and then put the towel back into the bag, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Father Li turned his head and looked out the window. To be honest, today's weather is much, much hotter than before.

Even the wind that blows in from outside the train is full of warmth.

He tugged at the chest of his clothes, and fanned it back and forth with the other hand.

It seemed to cool him down a lot.
