Midsummer is hot and the most comfortable time to travel is at night.
Gu Jiu asked someone to buy two sleeper tickets from the provincial capital to the ancient capital of northwest China, and then transfer to another train when he arrived.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the whole city had lost its heat during the day and the evening breeze was blowing. While the two children were asleep, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu said goodbye to their families and took a taxi to the train station.
"Tell me, will Dabao and Erbao cry when they wake up tomorrow and don't see us?"
Standing in the square in front of the train station, Lin Shu did not enter the waiting room immediately, but He was standing at the door looking in the direction of home, with worry on his face.
Gu Jiu dragged his luggage and stepped forward to hold her shoulders, "Children don't remember much. They might look for us at first. But when they encounter something fun and delicious, do you believe that they can forget you right away? Don't I'm worried, my parents are taking good care of me at home."
Lin Shu pushed the broken hair that was blown in front of her eyes by the evening breeze behind her ears, and then looked at the cars that occasionally passed by outside. He was carried into the waiting room.
The train bound for the northwest ancient capital arrived at the station at 10:20 in the evening. The couple entered the waiting room and queued up to check in and enter the station without stopping.
After getting into the car and putting the luggage in place, Lin Shu had time to look at their car.
The sleeper car they were in already had two people living in the front station, occupying two bunks one above the other on the left side.
Lin Shu and the others bought two bunks on the right side. The bunks were a bit messy. It seemed that the two of them had sat or lay on these bunks before.
Although she doesn't need to be particular when she is out, Lin Shu still doesn't like others touching the place where she wants to sleep.
So I took out a set of quilt covers and sheets from my luggage bag and put them on again.
Gu Jiu came over to help.
After the sheets and duvet covers were changed, Lin Shu went straight to bed and went to sleep. It was the first time that he left his two children at home, and he was thinking about it. Maybe he would not think about it until he fell asleep.
"Hey, young man, I see you two are together, what's the relationship?" An old man on the upper bunk opposite was lying on the bed watching them busy. After finishing their work, he couldn't help but ask.
Gu Jiu took out the thermos cup and put it on the small table. He glanced at the quilts and sheets on the upper bed and saw them all clean. Then he climbed onto the bed and looked at the man opposite him at eye level. Then he answered: "We are a couple. "
"Oh, no wonder." The uncle nodded.
Gu Jiu didn't know what the uncle meant, "???"
The uncle wanted to lie down, but when he met Gu Jiu's confused eyes, he smiled and said, "No wonder you all have grown up It has to look good and match well.”
Gu Jiu smiled noncommittally, leaned back on the folded quilt and pillow, closed his eyes and rested.
It’s almost eleven o’clock. If it weren’t for the fact that they had to pick up passengers at the station, the two people in the carriage would have fallen asleep by now.
Since Gu Jiu and his wife didn't waste much time getting into the car to get to know each other, the two people who got on the car before were eager to continue sleeping.
It takes more than twenty hours to drive from the provincial capital to the ancient capital city in the northwest. The other two passengers also got off at the ancient capital city, and gradually everyone became familiar with them.
They would also chat when they were bored along the way. From the chat, Gu Jiu knew that they were from Tongchuan in the northwest.
However, when changing trains midway, the four of them were not assigned to the same carriage.
This is a pity. Lin Shu knew that there were mountains to the west of Tongchuan, and originally wanted to ask them if there were walnuts and red dates produced in their hometown.
When they arrived at the northwest ancient capital city, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu found a guest house to rest for the night. They had to do business and had no time to visit the ancient capital city for the time being.
But I took the train and drove northwest for a few stops. I asked people on the train that there were more jujube trees on the Yan'an and Yulin sides.
The couple’s original idea of getting off the bus in Tongchuan changed and they decided to walk a little further northwest.
For the time being, Gu Jiu wanted to visit several nearby counties to find out where the output was large enough and place orders there.
At this time of year, the scenery in the northwest is not as dry as in autumn and winter. Some places with rivers are full of life and the scenery is beautiful.
"The scenery here in the northwest is vast, and the view is obviously different from ours. It seems that even the sky is as wide as here."
Gu Jiu chuckled after hearing this: "Wait for you to follow me in Once inside the mountains, the feeling will be different. When I first came to the northwest, I entered the mountains. Firstly, it feels like it’s not easy to come in from the outside, and secondly, it feels like it’s even harder to go out again.”
Lin Shu joked: “Then if I follow you in this time, I will feel uncomfortable for the rest of my life. Come out and live with me in the mountains?”
Gu Jiu just smiled and said nothing. The Loess Plateau has only been seen in books. When you actually enter it, all you can see are mountains and mountains, and thousands of ravines. It gives people the feeling of being trapped in this world.
When they arrived in the county town, the couple first went to the post and telecommunications office and called their home one after another to report that they were safe, and then they found a guest house to settle down.
Have a night's rest and the next day.
Gu Jiu took Lin Shu to have breakfast first, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative after it started working.
In their office building, Gu Jiu found the director of their purchasing department.
From Gu Jiu's mouth, Lin Shu knew that the director's surname was Zeng, and his name was Zeng Yuanhang.
I once worked for Gu Changsheng, and later I was assigned to work in a supply and marketing cooperative when I returned to my hometown.
"Uncle Zeng."
The office door was not closed, Gu Jiu stood at the door and shouted inside.
Not long after Zeng Yuanhang made tea and sat down, before he finished reading an article in the newspaper, he heard someone calling him at the door.
He looked up and said: "Oh! It's Brother Jiu. When did you arrive? Why didn't you inform me so that I could pick you up at the station."
Zeng Yuanhang Station He stood up and welcomed Gu Jiu and Lin Shu in with a smile.
After asking them to sit down, they were busy pouring water and snacks for them.
Gu Jiu saw his busy figure and stopped him: "Uncle Zeng, we just came here after breakfast. You don't have to be busy. Sit down and have a rest. Let us uncle and nephew have a nice talk."
"That's right. After breakfast, I had a sip of tea to suppress my food."
Zeng Yuanhang poured the tea and set out the snacks, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down.
Through Gu Jiu's care, he knew that Lin Shu was Gu Jiu's wife, and they exchanged pleasantries again.
“Brother Jiu, what’s the matter with you coming all the way here this time?”
Gu Jiu entrusted himself to his friends here to help purchase agricultural and sideline products. He said, "Because the price is too high, I want to come here in the fall to have a look. If I find someone suitable, I will sign a contract with the village or collection point."
Zeng Yuanhang asked with great interest: "I didn't expect that after a few years away, you not only got married, but also opened your own food factory. You have found your way back, and the prodigal son returns with gold. Yes, keep it up."
The corner of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched after hearing this, "Uncle Zeng, my wife is still here. If she listens to your words, what if my wife misunderstands how much of a bastard I used to be?"
Zeng Yuanhang heard this Hahaha big words He smiled and said to Lin Shu: "Niece-in-law, if you listen to his words, you will know how much of a bastard he used to be. He was just an unruly bull. Fortunately, now that I have married you, you have put a bridle on him."
Lin Shu smiled: "Uncle Zeng, he is the same before and after marriage. I only want him to be responsible and responsible for the family. I will like him no matter what."
In the end, he was like Zeng Yuan again. A hearty laugh.
"I didn't expect that you, a stupid boy, would be so lucky. You have found a good wife. You will treat other girls well in the future. If you let me know that you are naughty, I will not forgive you first. I will go to the provincial capital to support my niece-in-law even if I take the train."
"Niece-in-law, if this kid is out of character in the future, just call me and let me beat him up for you."
"Then I'll thank Uncle Zeng first." Lin Shu He looked at each other and smiled.
Back to business.
As for the Loess Plateau located in the northwest, almost every village has jujube trees, which can be said to be large-scale jujube forests.
Then 40% of the villages can be eliminated.
Zeng Yuanhang suggested: "Our supply and marketing cooperative is also going downstairs to purchase some agricultural and sideline products. Since you are here, why don't you take a day off first and let's go to the countryside together the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay, then we will listen to Uncle Zeng's arrangement and go to the countryside together the day after tomorrow."
After everyone chatted for a while, Gu Jiu said goodbye. Zeng Yuanhang wanted to invite them to have lunch together, but was Gu Jiu refused.
"Uncle Zeng, this is the first time for my wife to come to your place. I will take advantage of these two days to show her around. You can go to work without any worries. We don't need you to make arrangements." (End of Chapter)< br>
