Originally, Xu Ning wanted to buy a ticket, but was stopped by Old Yaoshu.

He placed Xu Ning's sister and brother in a position near the ticket booth, "You are waiting here, Grandpa will go to buy the tickets."

Xu Ning hurriedly took out the money from his pocket and stuffed it into Old Uncle Yao's hand, but was stuffed back again by the old man.

"Grandpa is not bad for this money. I didn't give you any money for the pound of tea you gave me. Wait." The old man said, he turned around and queued up.

In fact, Xu Ning wanted to ask the elderly to help buy sleeper tickets. If she could say it herself, she could still bring her own brother by her side. In the hard-seat car, she was worried that this little guy would not be able to rest well. The mixed taste is one aspect. , The main concern is that the outside compartment is not as safe as the sleeper compartment.

Seeing that there were so many people in front of the old Uncle Yao, Xu Ning thought that Grandpa Yao would have to line up for at least ten minutes at least.

"Ruirui, are you hungry?" It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. They hadn't eaten at noon. They had agreed with the old uncle Yao that they would settle down on the train and then eat again, so as not to delay eating outside. The train.

The little guy had been sleeping in the car before, and he didn't consume much energy, but after all he had eaten in the morning, it was seven or eight hours ago, and he must feel hungry.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

"When Grandpa Yao comes back, I'll buy you something to eat and bear it for a while." He took his brother by the hand and sat down on the chair, watching the people around him with him.

Xu Rui felt curious about everything at this time. After all, it was the first time he came out so far, and it was the first time he saw so many people.

However, Xu Ning always maintained a high degree of vigilance. A man and a woman sat next to her, and she felt her heart beating wildly.

Pickpockets are the most common in this kind of place. If you relax a little bit, you may throw things away, and there is nowhere to catch the police. Find a needle in a haystack.

"Sister, I want to hush." ​​Xu Rui looked at it for a while before suddenly standing up and lying in Xu Ning's arms.

Xu Ning took a look, how can this be done?

The old Uncle Yao hadn't come back, so he still watched the salute, the toilet was on the other side of the waiting hall, and it took ten eight minutes to go back and forth.

"Ruirui, can you wait a little longer? We have to wait for Grandpa Yao to come back. Can we hold it back?" She looked down at her brother's white face.

The little guy thought for a while, and seemed to be trying to see if he could do it. Five seconds later, he nodded vigorously, "Yes."

"Hey, let's wait for Grandpa Yao to come back, and sister will take you there again."

"Oh."

A pair of young men and women sat next to him. Seeing the appearance of the siblings, the woman smiled and said, "Little girl, your brother is so cute."

Xu Ning smiled at the woman, "Thank you, eldest sister."

"Where are you going?" the woman continued to ask.

Xu Ning was a little unwilling to answer. She just felt that the two people didn't know each other at all. If you just ask where the others are going, is it inappropriate?

"Go to relatives with Grandpa." She nodded slightly, hugged Xu Rui and sat down in a chair.

The woman probably also noticed that Xu Ning didn't want to say much, didn't continue chatting with Xu Ning, turned her head and whispered something to the man next to her.

Perhaps because of the urgency, Xu Rui couldn't sit still in the chair, and looked at the ticket booth with his head. After waiting for almost fifteen minutes, he saw Old Uncle Yao approaching.

"I bought three sleeper tickets, and it takes a day and a half on this journey. I feel uncomfortable sitting outside..."

Xu Ning asked Old Uncle Yao to sit down, "Grandpa Yao, I will take Rui Rui to the toilet. When is our train ticket checked?"

"Oh, then you have to go quickly, the ticket will be checked in half an hour." Old Uncle Yao looked at the time on the ticket, "Shall I take him with him?"

"You can sit here for a while, I'll take him over." Xu Ning said, leading his brother's hand to the toilet behind.

Xu Rui was still young, so she didn't have to go to the men's bathroom. Xu Ning took her into the women's bathroom. Xu Rui was not the only child in it, and several people also brought her own children for convenience.

Although this is the city railway station, the toilet is not a flush toilet, but a soil pit with a urinal behind it in the countryside, but it is built with cement and looks clean. a lot of.

Xu Ning led his younger brother into an empty toilet and guarded him by the side. The width of the toilet was almost 30 centimeters. Don't fall into it if you don't look at it.

When the little guy was done, Xu Ning took him outside to wash his hands, and the siblings came back slowly.

"Grandpa Yao, you are looking at Xu Rui here, I'll call my mother." Xu Ning took the factory phone number from his pocket and went to the public phone on the other side.

Because I didn’t say a few words to my mother in the car before, Xu Ning said a little bit this time, mainly because my mother carefully told me there. She was listening quietly here. When I hung up the phone, Xu Ning Ning asked her mother to say something to her father and grandma, so she didn't have to tell her separately.

After returning, she checked the ticket and got on the train. When she came to the sleeper compartment of the train, she was relieved.

To her surprise, there were more than three of them in the box, as well as the man and woman who had spoken to Xu Ning before.

"Oh, it's really fate, we are in a box." The woman walked in and saw the three of them, and suddenly smiled, "Uncle, is this also taking her grandchildren to Jiangcheng?"

"We are farther than you. We will go to the Imperial Capital to play. The child is on holiday." Old Uncle Yao sat down on one of the lower bunks with Xu Rui in his arms, "Ningning sleep on top, I will lie down with Rui Rui. ."

Xu Rui is still young and not tall enough, so he doesn't need to buy a ticket, and of course he doesn't have his own sleeping berth.

"Grandpa Yao, this sleeper is very narrow, can you two lie down? Give it to me."

"It's okay. Grandpa is in good health." The old man is not trying hard. Don't look at the old man who is now 80 years old, but his body is tough. According to his statement, it is no problem to live to a hundred years old.

Seeing everything sorted out, Xu Ning said and went out.

It was convenient to go to the bathroom first, and then went straight to the restaurant of the train. I wanted to buy some food to take home, but I was probably starving.

There are still people in this food ordering car. Even if you don’t eat, it’s good to sit here and chat with friends. As for drinking tea and refilling, without this service, free boiled water is available.

After Xu Ning ordered the meal, he paid and went back first. The flight attendant here will deliver you to the box. The service is very warm and thoughtful.

"Oh, I have already bought the meal. I also said that when you come back, let's have a meal with the three." Uncle Yao saw the meal brought in and dragged Xu Rui to sit down beside him, "Little guy, have dinner." ."

The man and the woman seemed to feel a little hungry when they saw the food, and then tidied up and got up and went out together.

The rest of the time seemed boring and long.

Xu Ning was lying on the upper bunk and reading quietly, and the old man on the lower bunk was telling a story to Xu Rui, and occasionally the two would go to sleep.

The train often stops at the station because it is only a crossing station and the parking time is limited. Otherwise, Xu Ning can really get off the train and take a walk. He always feels uncomfortable staying in the car.

Early in the morning, the sunlight came in through the window. Xu Ning opened his eyes and looked at the other people in the box. The man and woman were still sleeping. The little guy below leaned in the arms of the old uncle Yao, and opened his eyes to see that his sister was looking at him. He suddenly showed a big smile, super cute and super cute.

"Sister." The little guy drew on to do it, "for dinner."

Feelings are awakened by hunger.

Xu Ning gently climbed out of the bed, walked to the faucet in the box, washed his face, carefully applied a layer of cream on him, and then pulled out the canned food box from under the bed and took out two bottles of canned food.

"Let's eat some canned food in the morning, and wait for Grandpa Yao to get up before going to the restaurant for dinner."

"Good." The little guy sat down by the bed obediently.

Xu Ning has not eaten his own canned food, but he also knows that the taste must be very good. After all, fruits grow out of space.

Open the bottle cap laboriously, take out the spoon that he brought from home to wash, and then scooped a spoonful of sugar water to the little guy's mouth.

Xu Rui opened his mouth and took a sip. The sweet taste made his expression especially vivid and interesting. His big beautiful eyes were narrowed, which was very festive.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Ning wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth.

"It's delicious." The little guy opened his mouth again as he said, waiting for his sister to feed him.

The two siblings are here taking a spoonful of you and me, and soon a can of canned apples fell off, and this little guy seems to be a little full.

"Little girl, where did you buy this canned food?" The young man lying on the lower bunk opened his eyes. He woke up when Xu Ning got out of bed just now, and it didn't take long for him to smell a particularly good smell. It is sweet.

Xu Ning turned his head and glanced at the man, then smiled and said, "It's made in my own factory."

"Well, can you sell me a can?" The man sat up and leaned against the wall of the car, watching Xu Ning's eyes, he smiled and continued: "My family is in Jiangcheng, and we have two relatively large supply and marketing facilities. Society, I think the quality of your canned food seems to be quite good, try it, if it is good, you can also do a business."

"Then give you a can, fifty cents." Xu Ning did not refuse. The family factory has just opened, and it is estimated that the seller has not been contacted.

"Fifty cents, the price is not cheap." The woman in the upper berth answered suddenly, "Canned food is more than two cents, and the better one is more than three cents. The price of your canned food is much higher than others."

Xu Ning said, "My canned food is better than others."

"Oh, little girl." The woman's tone was not so annoying, "Have you eaten a lot of canned food?"

"Even if it doesn't, my canned food is better than others, you get what you pay for." Xu Ning still insisted on her own point of view.

The man seemed to have some money, and he didn't come and go with Xu Ning on the price, so he took out 50 cents from his pocket and handed it to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning bent down and took out a can of canned food from the carton and handed it to the man, "You won't regret it."

The man got up and washed his face, went back to the bed and sat down, picked up the can and unscrewed it, and a pleasant sweet smell hit his face. This smell made him feel better.

He took a sip directly from the mouth of the bottle, and his eyes lit up.

Really, although I didn't taste the pulp, the taste of the sugar water was delicious. Compared with the many kinds of canned food he had eaten before, the sugar water did not appear too viscous, giving people a refreshing and refreshing feeling. , The taste in the mouth is still expanding, spreading to all corners of the body, refreshing.

"Little girl, is this really made by your family?" The man looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning nodded, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." The man smacked his lips. "I like to drink sugar water in cans, but this is also the best sugar water I have ever drunk."

When the woman on the upper bunk heard it, she immediately became interested, stretched out her hand and said to the man: "Give me a taste."

The man handed the can to the woman, and the woman took a sip and shut her mouth.

Sure enough, the canned food in this little girl's house is indeed better than others'.

After the man told her that he wanted to buy the canned food in her house, Xu Ning directly wrote the phone number of the factory to the man. The rest of the matter was her mother's, and there was only so much she could do.

The two got out of the car near noon. Before leaving, the woman took out a pack of finely packaged biscuits and handed it to Xu Rui. Xu Ning didn't say anything when she saw it.

When they arrived at the Imperial City Railway Station, it was already over ten in the evening. After getting off the train, Xu Ning carried the suitcase in one hand, and the younger brother with the other hand, and followed the old Uncle Yao and walked out slowly along the flow of people.

Outside the train station, people were picked up with a cardboard with their names written on them. Xu Ning looked around. Her father told her that Uncle Jiang and the others would wait for them outside the train station in this way.

Walking from inside, I finally saw a familiar old man standing in front of the crowd holding a cardboard. Uncle Jiang didn't seem to see them yet and was looking around.

"Grandpa Jiang." Xu Ning pulled her younger brother forward, and then turned to call Old Uncle Yao.

Elder Jiang has been waiting here for half an hour, and seeing Xu Ning, he was happy to close his mouth from ear to ear, "Oh, you are here, I thought I had to wait a while, hurry up, brother Take them both out."

The old man squeezed out the crowd, trot from behind, around the guardrail, and then directly hugged Xu Rui in his arms, "Rui Rui, don't you think Grandpa?"

"...I think." The little guy probably had a vague memory of Mr. Jiang. He hesitated for a while before he said a word in the eyes of his sister.

The old man laughed, bowed his head and kissed Xu Rui's face, and then greeted them to go outside, "Oh brother, how is the road? Tired?"

"The sleeper tickets we bought are just after eating, sleeping, and eating. It's nothing tired. It's really boring." Uncle Yao looked at the dark sky outside, "Why are we going back?"

"I came here on a small three-wheeler, you sit behind, and I'll wait for you to go back."

"Okay, I actually bought a small third round." Old Yaoshu laughed loudly.

When he arrived at the parking place, he saw the tricycle parked there, and Old Uncle Yao nodded, "Tricycle?"

"Nonsense, how expensive a three-wheeled motorcycle is. I bought this for riding to the vegetable market in the morning to buy vegetables." Old man Jiang put Xu Rui behind, and then asked them to get in the car.

The tricycle was not big, and the three of them were a little crowded. Old Uncle Yao simply rested and sat beside him, then patted the back of Mr. Jiang, "Go."

"Okay, be steady."

It took a full one and a half hours to walk from the train station to the house of Mr. Jiang. The two elderly people rode alternately in the middle. Fortunately, there were not many people on the road at this time. As for cars, cars are also rare in the Imperial Capital in this era. Well, not much, and there are very few traffic jams.

Before reaching the door of the house, she saw Gao Xiulan standing at the door in an apron, waiting for them to approach, smiled and carried Xu Rui out of the car, helping Xu Ning with luggage.

"Oh, it's been half the night, why are you so slow to come back? The bones stewed in my pot almost boiled out the soup." Gao Xiulan muttered as she greeted the old uncle Yao to enter the house, "Well, it's good on the road. Bar?"

"It's fine." Old Uncle Yao carried things into the house, "The house is quite spacious."

"It's not so bad. The three people feel empty when they live. Xiao Zheng can only sleep at home for two days in a week. You just came here, and I don't have to look at this old thing all day." Gao Xiulan looked back. He said to Xu Ning, "Ning Ning will go in the house quickly, are you hungry? Grandma put a lot of noodles in the pork bones stewed for you. Eat more at night, don’t go out tomorrow, and get a good night’s sleep at home. Your brother Zheng will be back the day after tomorrow. When that time comes, let him take the two of you out for a tour. Grandpa Jiang and I didn’t go out to play after we arrived in the imperial capital. We went to the Forbidden City when we first arrived. Know how to leave."

"You can't do this, you will live here in the future, and you can't find a way out, how can you fix it?" Old Uncle Yao sat on a chair under the pergola in the middle of the yard, "Xiulan, hurry up Eat on the hour, the food on the train always feels not as good as at home."

"It's not something." Gao Xiulan turned and walked to the kitchen, "Ning Ning will quickly lead Rui Rui to wash his hands, let's eat now."

Soon the food came on the table, pork bones stewed vermicelli, cabbage fried pork, fried tofu, cold cucumber and pork belly stewed soybean sprouts and a spinach soup, a large bowl of rice in front of each person.

"Rui Rui, come here, grandma feed you." Gao Xiulan entered the room and took out a bottle of Erguotou and placed it on the table. After sitting down, she greeted Xu Rui.

Xu Rui raised her foot and walked to the chair next to Gao Xiulan and sat down, "I will eat it myself."

"Eat it by yourself? Can I hold the chopsticks?" Gao Xiulan looked at the little guy next to her, then got up and went to the kitchen to fetch a spoon, "Hey, use a spoon to eat. Grandma will give you what you want to eat."

At the dinner table, Mr. Jiang poured a glass of wine for Old Uncle Yao, "Why did my brother come here together?"

"I just want to come back and take a look." Old Uncle Yao glanced at Xu Ning and said, "The Jianjun family bought a yard in the Imperial Capital. I lived in it when I was a child. These two kids are going to play here during the summer vacation. When you're idle, just come around with them."

When Mr. and Mrs. Jiang heard this, they looked at each other and were very surprised. It's not cheap to buy a yard in the Imperial Capital.

"It's also a courtyard house?" Gao Xiulan asked.

"Yeah, I lived when I was a child. It's a bit bigger than yours." Old Uncle Yao nodded, "I haven't come back for more than 70 years, and I'm worried."

It's a bit bigger than the yard they live in now. There is no one that can't be bought for 40,000 to 50,000. What happened to the Xu family unknowingly, why suddenly saved so much money? Gao Xiulan muttered in her heart.

It's not jealous, this is really not enough, but I feel a little surprised.
