Chapter 135 Journey
Gu Jiu and Lin Shu prepared a lot of things for the three-day homecoming gift. Candy, malted milk, and canned food are always the most popular choices in this era.
Lin Shu bought a few extra pieces of fabric, fruit, and meat from the system mall.
This homecoming gift is very generous whether it is placed in the city or in the countryside. When Liu Xiaoe saw the large and small bags of gifts, she felt both distressed and blamed.
“Oh, you don’t have to live your life in the future, right? Just get a couple of random things as a home gift. Are you afraid that you will have to move your whole family here?”
"Mom, most of these gifts are for you. The fabrics will be given to my two sisters-in-law. They have been worrying a lot about my wedding and have worked so hard. I will give these pieces of fabric to them to make a few outfits. Clothes. I made a few sets of clothes for you and Dad and asked Gu Jiu to deliver them to you tomorrow." br>
Lin Shu said and pointed to other gifts, "Our family eats fruit and meat, and we can just give some candies and cans to our second aunt."
Others are of course. My family has a large population, and I can't afford to eat this little food.
There are two gifts that can be given to the second wife. In rural areas, as long as the most basic etiquette is maintained.
Liu Xiao'e heard that several sets of clothes were made for her and the old man, and she felt worried. She pulled Lin Shu and asked, "You made several sets of clothes for us, but have you prepared any for your parents-in-law?"
"Don't worry, I made a winter coat for each of them. The fabrics are relatively expensive, and I think they are worthy of their status."
When Liu Xiao'e heard that the fabrics were expensive, she was heartbroken. An said, "That's good, The fabric is good, I think your parents-in-law will like it."
Liu Xiao'e has this idea. In the end, she still feels inferior in her heart. She feels that her family background is not worthy of the Gu family's family background, and she always feels inferior.
After returning from Sanchao, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu began to prepare their luggage. Gu Jiu even made a trip to the urban train station to buy tickets in advance.
The ticket was bought for the eight o'clock train the next day.
The next day, Gu Jiu went out to make arrangements for the canteen. When he came back, he and Lin Shu tidied up the house together. The bedding had to be put into the closet. After all, they were going to the provincial capital for who knew how long they would stay. The bedding was spread on the bed and gathering dust. Some of the food at home was sent to the old house for fear of spoiling.
At noon, they carried their luggage and went directly to the old house for dinner.
In the kitchen.
Liu Xiao'e was washing vegetables and asked: "What day have they decided to hold the banquet?"
Gu Jiu, who was helping with the cooking, heard this and said: "On the eighteenth day of this month, that is, The day after tomorrow.”
"You are in a hurry. Take care of the youngest during the train ride. She is suffering from morning sickness. I don't know if she will get motion sickness when taking the train. What will happen if she gets motion sickness? It takes nearly ten hours from here to the provincial capital. "
Gu Jiu: "Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of her. Don't worry. There is no smell of gasoline on the train, so Shu Shu probably won’t get car sick.”
Liu Xiao’e was a little more relieved, “That’s good, I’m still worried about her getting car sick.”
This lunch is not for Dad. Mom told them to pay attention to safety on the road, while Gu Jiu told Ding Zaichun and An Fan to take more care of the store and the two old people.
Because he had to take a bus from the county seat to the city, Lin Shu did not dare to eat much at noon. He only drank a bowl of rice porridge and refused to eat any more.
After lunch, they took an hour and a half lunch break. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ming drove a green jeep to pick them up and prepare to take them to the urban train station.
On the way to the city, Lin Shu lived up to his expectations and vomited all the way. When he arrived at the train station, he was completely exhausted.
Driving in a car while pregnant is too painful.
Gu Jiu said goodbye to Xu Ming and helped Lin Shu into the waiting room.
After resting in the waiting room for a while, I calmed down a little, at least my head was not so dizzy.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?" Gu Jiu took out the thermos cup from his bag, poured half a cup of warm water and handed it to her.
Lin Shu took a few sips of water and sighed feebly, "It's a little better."
You won't get motion sickness if you don't ride in the car, but the waiting room of the train station is really not A suitable place to rest, but it was so noisy that it made her ears buzz and her head felt dizzy.
Not long after, Gu Jiu heard the announcement of the arriving train number on the radio, and helped Lin Shu stand up, "Let's go, the train has already started to pull into the station."
Gu Jiuti Carrying two large bags of luggage, he escorted Lin Shu to the ticket gate.
Although the journey from the urban area to the provincial capital does not go out of the province, due to the limited train speed these days, the travel time is not short. It takes nearly ten hours to get to the provincial capital.
Gu Jiu considered Lin Shu's physical condition, so they bought sleeper tickets.
There are only a few people in a small carriage for sleeper tickets. It is quiet and suitable for pregnant women to rest. The hard seats are crowded and noisy, and the smell is mixed, which is a test for Lin Shu who suffers from morning sickness.
Gu Jiu also considered taking care of Lin Shu, so he bought both tickets for the lower berth so that he could take care of the pregnant woman.
When he arrived at the carriage and carried his luggage in, Gu Jiu found that people were sitting or lying on the lower berths of the two sleepers.
Both husband and wife were confused. Gu Jiu returned to the door of the carriage and carefully compared the carriage numbers. It was correct.
Gu Jiu placed the duffel bag on the corridor and asked Lin Shu to sit on the duffel bag to rest. He turned around and went to find the flight attendant.
Lin Shu was sitting in the corridor, drinking warm water while looking at the woman in the carriage who lay on the bed without taking off her shoes.
Not long after, Gu Jiu came over with the flight attendant.
The flight attendant glanced at Lin Shu sitting in the corridor and entered the carriage directly, "Comrade, please show me your tickets."
The two women lying on the lower bunk hurriedly sat up when they saw the conductor coming in. When they saw that the ticket was about to be checked, they took it out of their pockets.
"Comrade, this is our ticket. We did not sit randomly. This carriage is written on the ticket."
Lin Shu felt a sense of disbelief in his heart. What if these two people were in this carriage? Passengers, it would be really annoying for her to have to ride with such an unqualified person all the way. She doesn’t know what weird things will happen on the way.
Just when you go out, sometimes you really can’t choose your fellow passengers.
The flight attendant took their tickets, looked at them, turned them over, pointed at the numbers on the tickets and said: "Comrade, you are mistaken. Your carriage number is carriage number 9, not carriage number 6. , Did you read the tickets upside down just now?”
I was really convinced. It looked like they were two illiterate people. They couldn't read a few big words and could barely recognize numbers. Otherwise, how could they have gotten into the wrong car.
When the two women heard that they had entered the wrong carriage, they became anxious and grabbed the tickets and looked again. It was No. 9.
"What's going on? Look, you can't print the tickets well. The 9 and the 6 are exactly the same. You can't blame us for making a mistake. If the cis and reverse are reversed, they are the same number."
< br>The flight attendant didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and politely asked them to take their luggage to their own compartment.
After the two women left talking, Gu Jiu pointed to the sheets on the lower bunk and said to the flight attendant: "Look at how messy and dirty this bed is, can you help us change the sheets?"
The flight attendant originally wanted to say, just tidy up the mess and don't be too pretentious when you go out, but Gu Jiu shook out the sheets with two black marks that were stepped on by the two women, and the flight attendant swallowed back what he wanted to say. "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll have someone come over and change it to a clean one."
"Trouble."
By the time the steward changed the sheets, the train had already It's been open for half an hour.
After struggling for so long, he could finally sit down and have a good rest. Lin Shu was so dizzy that he just wanted to take a nap.
Gu Jiu sat on the lower bunk opposite and drank tea. He glanced at the two empty upper bunks above and said, "Fortunately, there are only two of us in this carriage. No one is arguing. If you are tired, just take a nap."
Lin Shu’s sequelae of motion sickness have not been completely eliminated, and a good night’s sleep is the best way to recover. After listening to his words, he covered himself with the quilt he had just changed and said, "I was just trying to take a nap. Don't leave when I fall asleep. I'm afraid that others will come in."
Sleeping on the train I feel so insecure, it's best to have someone with me, otherwise I won't dare to fall asleep.
"Okay, I'll just lie here and read." Gu Jiu took out a book from his backpack. He didn't know when he put it in his bag.
After hearing his assurance, Lin Shu closed her eyes in relief. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she woke up to the shaking of the train and the sound of the radio.
Perhaps she was too tired due to motion sickness. She slept so deeply that she didn't even dream. She woke up in a daze and was confused for a while before she remembered that she was on a train.
As soon as Lin Shu moved, Gu Jiu noticed it. He put down the book, stood up and walked over, "You're awake, are you still dizzy now?"
Lin Shu sat up and shook his head. He shook his head: "I'm not dizzy anymore, I'm like The mood has recovered."
"That's good." Gu Jiu's heart dropped, "Would you like some water?"
Lin Shu: "It's in the cup. The water must be cold.”
"It's cold. I'm going to get some boiled water. Are you hungry?" Gu Jiu raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It's already midnight. There must be no food for sale on the train. If you're hungry, mom will give us something. Packed steamed buns and eggs.”
Lin Shu vomited all the food in his stomach while riding in the car. There was no food in his stomach, and his body had not yet recovered and he did not feel hungry when taking the train.
When Gu Jiu asked, he felt very hungry. It was so late at night that he could only eat hot water with steamed buns and eggs, which was enough to cope with it for the time being.
Lin Shu felt the train stop slowly and glanced out the window. It was pitch black outside and could not see anything except the lights that flickered from time to time. "Which station are you at?"
< br>"Yangshan Station, the train has traveled less than half the distance to get here." Gu Jiu asked Lin Shu to wait, picked up two thermos cups and left the carriage to get boiled water.
Lin Shu got up, put on her cashmere coat, and made the bed. When she heard the sound of the carriage door opening, she thought it was Gu Jiu who had come back. When she looked back, she saw two men, an old man and a young man. She was startled, and then Seeing the luggage they were carrying, I realized that the two of them must be passengers on the upper bunk.
An old man and a young man also noticed Lin Shu, nodded politely, and then went about placing their luggage.
Gu Jiu went to the toilet and fetched water. When he came back, he found two men lying on the upper bunk. He glanced at them a little more unexpectedly and put the thermos cup on the table. "The water is a bit hot. Wait a minute." You need to cool it down before drinking it.”
Lin Shu took out the steamed buns and eggs wrapped in oil paper from his bag, one for each of them.
The light yellow steamed buns were made by Liu Xiaoe herself. They have a rich wheat aroma and taste better than the white steamed buns of later generations.
Eat a few bites of steamed buns and drink a sip of hot water, which is more in line with Lin Shu's current taste than meat buns.
After eating one steamed bun and one egg, I felt a little choked. I drank some water and drank it down. I felt full.
After eating and drinking, Lin Shu no longer felt sleepy.
The old man and the young man on the upper bunk must be the grandfather and grandson. They have closed their eyes and wonder if they are asleep.
Gu Jiu and Lin Shu didn't want to disturb their sleep by chatting, so Lin Shu simply took out two comic books from his bag and started reading.
After reading one book, I switched to another, and I didn’t know when I fell asleep again while looking at it.
A burst of crying outside the carriage immediately woke up the four sleeping people.
Lin Shu sat up and was about to ask what was going on. From the corner of his eye, he saw a dark figure falling from the upper bunk. With a bang, several exclamations sounded in the carriage.
Holy shit!
Lin Shu saw the falling shadow clearly and found that it was the young man on the upper bunk, and quickly asked: "Are you okay?"
Why were you so careless and fell directly from the upper bunk?
Is the boy so wild when he sleeps?
The young man in black grimaced in pain. The old man on the opposite bunk hurriedly got off the upper bunk, walked to the young man and asked with concern: "Xiao Nian, how are you? Did you fall? Where is it?”
“Master, I’m fine.”
I just fell from a height suddenly while I was sleeping, and I couldn’t react either mentally or physically.
When the old man heard that he said it was okay, he felt a little relieved, but he was still worried, so he started to blame, "How come you can't sleep well, why did you fall from above?"
Black The young man in clothes felt aggrieved, and it showed on his face. He said aggrievedly: "I was sleeping soundly. Who knows what ghost screamed and screamed? It scared me so much that I fell off the bed as soon as I turned over."
A false alarm.
Lin Shu couldn't help laughing, well, speaking of it, the crying outside was the culprit.
Listening to the crying outside that had not stopped, Gu Jiu opened the carriage door and walked out, and he came back not long after.
Xiang Lin Shu explained: "Someone in the car behind caught the wallet thief and started shouting, waking up other people in the car. When everyone checked their wallets, seven or eight people found that their wallets had been stolen. Isn't this a big deal? Get up.”
It was late at night, when everyone was sleeping deeply. The thief struck at this time, just in time to get off at the next stop. If he hadn’t been caught stealing the wallet, the thief would have waited until he stopped. Car, no one can catch him.
The young man in black asked, "Is the thief still in the back car?"
"Yes." Gu Jiu nodded.
“Damn it, Master, I’ll go and come back!” The young man in black who was rubbing his waist cursed, got up and walked out.
The old man didn't stop him.
Lin Shu didn’t know what the boy wanted to do. There were police officers on the train. Did he still want to beat up the thief?
Lin Shu's guess was quickly answered, because the boy in black walked in while blowing into his fist and lowering his head.
As soon as he came back, he complained to the old man: "Sir, that thief is indeed a thief. He has rough skin and thick flesh. My fists were red from beating him."
The old man was lying on the upper bunk, After hearing what he said, he just glanced lightly and said, "It's not that the thieves are thick-skinned, but that your fists are not strong enough and you lack exercise. Practice twenty more punches every day after you go back."
The boy in black stood between the two bunks and was completely petrified. He just wanted to show off, so why did it become a punishment for him to practice twenty more punches every day?
