Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Chapter 44 The Train

In the sound of the whistle, the green leather train began to move forward slowly.

Xu Ningyu sat sideways on the outermost side of a three-person seat, and Li Lei stood beside him, happily watching the scenery outside the window receding quickly.

They just came to buy the train tickets for the day today, and it was not the starting station, so naturally there were no seats.Li Lei had packed some newspapers in his schoolbag in advance, and after he squeezed into the car, he realized that even the aisles were covered with stuff.

It was only a two-hour drive, and Xu Ningyu felt that it was okay to stand over, but Li Lei firmly refused: "How can that be done! You have small arms and legs, and you must be exhausted from standing for two hours."

Li Lei asked him to follow closely, while he stood in front and squeezed into the carriage with all his might.While squeezing, he looked around with his eyes with excellent eyesight, looked around, and found several young girls who looked like students sitting together.

He hurriedly took Xu Ningyu to squeeze over, called his sister enthusiastically, took out a handful of oranges from his bag and stuffed them, and then begged: "Sister, we didn't buy a seat, my brother is young, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it." Wait, sister, you are so slender, can you sit a little inside and leave a little room for my brother? Just one side will do!"

The girls are students returning home from summer vacation. They are relatively thin-skinned at this age. Seeing that this big boy looks sincere, and his brother is clean and beautiful, people like him very much at first sight, but they can't stand his begging. There was a bit of sitting inside, leaving half a seat empty for Xu Ningyu.

Xu Ningyu was a little embarrassed to sit with the girls, Li Lei had already pressed him on the seat: "It's been a long time walking, let's take a rest."

"Give it to me." Xu Ningyu reached out to get the schoolbag hanging on Li Lei's chest.I borrowed this big schoolbag from my cousin.Xu Ningyu's schoolbag was too small to hold many things, and Li Lei disliked her sister's brightly colored schoolbag, so they used Chen Tao's.

Li Lei pressed down Xu Ningyu's white and tender little hand: "There are not many things, you sit down and sit comfortably against the seat." The journey was not long, and it was summer, so there were only a few thin summer clothes and a bag of biscuits in the schoolbag And two bags of instant noodles, not heavy at all.Li Lei also had a kettle hanging around his neck, which was enough for them to eat and drink along the way.

The girls next to them kept looking at the two boys, one big and one young, curiously, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to take the car alone? Why don't your parents follow you?"

"We went to look for relatives, and we got off the car soon, and someone came to pick us up when we got off the car." Li Lei grinned and answered honestly, but he was not telling the truth.

Before going out, grandpa and the others told him to be careful outside and take good care of Xu Ningyu.Li Lei feels that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, so of course he has to be vigilant, but he can't tell others the truth.He has watched a lot of spy movies!

Of course, Li Lei and Xu Ningyu were not looking for relatives, but were going to Jinling to meet Editor Yu and his classmates.

During the phone call that day, Editor Yu told Xu Ningyu good news: His classmate said that their publishing house was very interested in "Little Rascal Going to School".

Interested, I hope to have a detailed interview with Xu Ningyu and his parents.

Xu Ningyu was refreshed at the time.He didn't expect that the publishing house would be interested in his novel before it was serialized. This not only meant that his writing was affirmed by others, but also meant that he could earn another manuscript fee.However, Editor Yu also emphasized that the other party only has this intention, and whether it can be published will have to meet and discuss.

Xu Ningyu immediately agreed.Anyway, I still have to buy books, so I happened to be on the way.

After leaving the post office, Li Lei suddenly squatted down and looked at Xu Ningyu eagerly: "Xiaoyu, you are going to Jinling, do you want me to accompany you! I will pay for the train tickets and meals myself!"

He didn't really have much hope.The microphone of the landline is not soundproof at the moment, and he can hear it clearly when standing beside him.Xiaoyu agreed to go to Jinling, but it was a big city, and she had to take the train, and it wasn't a county seat, so she went whenever she wanted.But he just wanted to be with Xiaoyu, and he wasn't afraid that Xiaoyu would dislike him.Anyway, he was thick-skinned, so he said what he had to say directly, in case Xiaoyu really took him there.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ningyu glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, my grandpa and the others are busy helping me prepare for the bookstore, and I don't want to tell my dad about it, please come with me."

"Really? No trouble!" Li Lei called out, almost jumping up happily.

Back at grandma's house, Xu Ningyu told her about going to Jinling, and grandpa and aunt scrambled to accompany him.The two started an argument about this, pointing out each other's disadvantages, why they were old, and why they stayed at home to take care of candidates, and almost tore off the plastic father-daughter relationship that had lasted for many years. The scene was once very intense.

Xu Ningyu hurriedly held them back: "Auntie, Grandpa, you are all busy. It is important to open a bookstore. I just ask Li Lei to accompany me. And I will go for a day, and stay for a night at most. Editor Yu also said that he will send people to the train Pick me up, it's very safe. In fact, it's so close, I can go alone."

Xu Ningyu raised her head with a proud look.Li Lei also puffed up his chest.

Xu Ningyu really thought so.It's not necessary for grandpa and aunt to waste a day with him.If it wasn't for Li Lei's begging, it's only a two-hour drive, which is about the same as going to the provincial capital, so he can go alone.

Grandpa and aunt were silent for a while.The auntie looked at the two of them, a little hesitant: "You two have an older child and a younger child, can you do it?"

Grandpa saw that he couldn't compete with the eldest daughter, so he laughed and chimed in: "If you are ambitious, you are not old. When I was 12 years old, I used to pull a cart to deliver supplies to our army!"

Was patted by grandma: "How can you compare with Xiaoyu!"

The decision made by Xu Ningyu has not failed so far.With a small mouth, he convinced both grandpa and aunt in a short while.

The main reason is that he is really precocious, and his words and deeds are very convincing, and it is easy for people to forget his age.As for Li Lei, he already looks like a half-adult, and he is very good at taking care of others.There is another important reason: Grandpa and aunt are very big-hearted father and daughter, and it doesn't work for grandma to worry alone.

So early the next morning, Xu Ningyu and Li Lei carried their bags and went to the county town to take the train.

The train "crashed" for more than two

After hours, it finally stopped at Jinling Railway Station.Li Lei thanked the girls again and again, holding the schoolbag on his chest with one hand, and protecting Xu Ningyu behind his back with the other, and squeezed down with the passengers who were about to get off.

This place is not comparable to the small platform in the county seat. The large platform with several railway tracks and the bustling flow of people made Li Lei immediately feel what a big city is.

"There are so many people!" He sighed softly, looked around a few times, and asked Xu Ningyu, "Did Editor Yu say what the person who came to pick you up looked like?"

Xu Ningyu took his hand funny and continued to walk forward: "We are still in the station, and we can only see the people who come to pick us up when we go out from the ticket gate."

"Oh." Li Lei was a little embarrassed.It was the first time for him to take a train, and he didn't understand anything. He wanted to pee on the train, and he held it in for a long time. He couldn't help it, so he secretly told Xiaoyu. Only then did he know that there were toilets on the train!

I always feel that I will embarrass Xiaoyu, Li Lei is very disturbed.

Xu Ningyu didn't realize it, and pulled Li Lei to lead the way, but was soon overtaken by Li Lei.

"There are so many people, be careful not to squeeze, you walk behind me." Li Lei looked like a big brother.

Xu Ningyu looked at her small body, and reluctantly followed behind him.

After exiting the ticket gate, Li Lei stuffed the two notched train tickets back into his schoolbag, and said with a heartbroken face, "If you take a train for five yuan, you will get back two small slips of paper. I have to keep it."

Xu Ningyu really didn't know what to say about him: "I said you don't need to pay, but who told you to rush to pay, this will make my heart hurt again."

Li Lei sighed faintly: "It's agreed that I will pay for my travel expenses. Of course I have to spend the money that should be spent, but I just can't help feeling distressed."

This little guy is hopeless.Xu Ningyu shook his head helplessly.

At this time, a young man next to him suddenly burst out laughing.He quickly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just ran over and heard it. You must be Xu Ningyu's little classmate, right?"

The young man looked at the child in front of him with bright eyes: "I am the assistant editor of "Children's Literature". Our editor-in-chief Yu asked me to pick you up. So you are so young!" He seemed to think of something, slapped his head, He took out a small notebook from his pocket: "This is my work permit."

Xu Ningyu's "deeds" have already been publicized by Editor Yu, and the young editor also knows that this vigilant young author will check his work permit.

Xu Ningyu glanced at him and took the work permit. Li Lei also leaned over and studied carefully with his two heads together.Xu Ningyu also deliberately held up her work card and compared the black and white one-inch photo with the young man in front of her, which put a lot of pressure on the young editor.

"It's troublesome, work is hard." Xu Ningyu handed back his work card and thanked him politely.The photos are much younger than me. I don't know what the editor has experienced in the short three years since he took up his post.

"You're welcome!" The young editor didn't know that he was being sympathized by a child.Looking at the boy's big eyes like black grapes, he always felt as much pressure as facing their editor-in-chief.He glanced at Li Lei again and quickly smiled.

He said: "This is your brother, right? You are so powerful that you have come so far without letting adults follow you. Come, I will take you to the car. Our editor-in-chief and his friends are waiting for you in our editorial department."

Said they were going to take a bus, the young editor took them for a few minutes and arrived at a bus stop.At this time, it is good for small units to have a small car, but Xu Ningyu is not qualified enough to be picked up by a special car.As for taxis, they are rare and expensive, and the unit does not reimburse them. Xu Ningyu is not prepared to pay for it herself, so she should take the bus instead.

This returned to Li Lei's familiar territory.The train station happened to be the departure station of the bus they were going to take. When the bus came, he hugged the schoolbag hanging on his chest, and rushed to the bus to grab a seat. The young editor was dumbfounded: , so fierce!

The young editor was about the same size as Li Lei, and he was not as strong as Li Lei. Unless there were few people, he would not be able to grab a seat.

After sitting in the front seat, the young editor turned his head and said with a smile: "Student Xu, no wonder your family trusts your brother to send you here. With your brother's physique, he is sure to beat bad guys away."

Li Lei loved hearing this, and nodded happily: Just leave Xiaoyu to his care!

Xu Ningyu was left speechless by Li Lei's childish appearance, and didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she nodded, "Yes, my brother Leilei is very good." Li Lei smiled even more happily.

The author has something to say: I am very sorry for the late update today.Because I started to go to work, I wrote slowly, and it was too late. I didn’t eat dinner when I came back and wrote until now. The update time will be postponed to [-]:[-] pm for the time being.
