Basically, you can't stand if you sit down, and you can't sit down if you stand up. The entire train is absolutely 100% solid, and even the toilet and washbasin have no place to stand.
If someone wants to use the toilet, they must first ask the person in the toilet to come out, and then return the toilet to the person after using it. Therefore, many people are reluctant to go to the toilet through the sea of people until they can't hold it in any longer.
And the washbasin is a battleground for military strategists. Because it can not only sit, but also lie down if you are smaller. It's a bit ugly in appearance, but it's better than standing there.
However, it is difficult to get such a prime location without getting on the bus at the starting station.
"Can't we make a plane?" Mai Xiaomiao asked while eating the sweet fermented glutinous rice eggs.
"That's right. Datou has a lot of income now. In fact, he can take a plane to Yuzhou and then transfer back."
"Then your fifth uncle must not agree first." The second sister-in-law said with a smile: "In his old words, one plane ticket is enough to buy three pigs. I can live for many years. I don't have to rush back to see them."
"Pfft..." Zhou Zhi laughed so much that he squirted a mouthful of glutinous rice water back into the bowl, choked on it, and coughed repeatedly. Mai Xiaomiao was so scared that she quickly patted him on the back.
After a while of fussing, Zhou Zhi calmed down and said with a smile: "Ahem... Actually, I have some connections in Guangzhou. It's no problem to get a sleeper ticket. If the boss wants to come back, ask him to call me and I'll find him. If someone gives him a sleeper ticket, he will suffer a lot less, so the fifth uncle and fifth aunt should accept it, right?”
"What should we accept?" The fifth uncle had already appeared at the door, smiling at Zhou Zhi: "Oh, who is this?"
"This is my good friend and colleague, named Mai Xiaomiao. Xiaomiao is called Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt."
"Hello, fifth uncle, hello, fifth aunt." Mai Xiaomiao now knows to stand up when greeting her elders.
"Sit down, sit down..." The fifth uncle quickly asked everyone to sit down: "The conditions in our countryside are poor, girl, please be patient."
"Fifth uncle, don't say that. I think it's good. At least Dajing Township is much better than the previous Lianhe Township."
"I heard your mother say what project you are working on in the countryside of Liangshan Prefecture?" Fifth Uncle asked: "Xiaomiao Jiao Didi's little girl, at first glance, she looks like someone from a big city. Are you going to suffer with you?"
< br>
"No, no, the conditions were much better when I went there." Mai Xiaomiao quickly explained.
"I can't help it, I can't live without her." Zhou Zhi made Mai Xiaomiao smile with just one sentence.
"What were you guys talking about just now? What about train tickets?" Fifth Aunt asked, thinking of Yao'er after all.
"Yes, I said that if Datou wants to come back for the Spring Festival, I can get him a sleeper ticket." Zhou Zhi said: "I have a good classmate from Guangdong, and I have many connections in my family. In addition, Brother Yu is also with We have very strong connections on the railway. For long-term business, we can contact anyone. The key is to determine when we will come back and when we will arrive in Guangdong. Only by knowing these can we make arrangements in advance.”
"Sleeper tickets are not cheap either..."
Before the fifth uncle finished speaking, the fifth aunt interrupted him: "You don't want to see your son, but I still want to see him! Datou is now prosperous. Even if you don't let him fly, not even the train?!" < br>
"The sleeper ticket isn't that expensive." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It will be easier if he goes back. He can just go find Brother Dayong by himself."
"I will call him in a moment." The fifth aunt said happily: "Then I will ask the third sister Dachuan to come back with Xiao Cheng, and our family will be together during the Spring Festival."
The second brother came over with a big bamboo cover: "Elbow, let's go to the fields to catch fish!" "How embarrassed of you to bring guests to do business!" The fifth aunt immediately stopped: "Why are you in the fields in such a cold day?!"
"Since when has the elbow become a guest?" The second brother laughed and said, "Hasn't he liked to play with these things since he was a child?"
"I haven't seen Xiaomiao before." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Let's go catch a fish and show it to him. It will be quick and it won't freeze!"
There are two large fields on the road from the new house foundation to here. None of the children of the fifth uncle's family have moved out, so Su Ziyuan's and Su Ziqiao's land are all there. Now that the second brother's family has been divided, the fifth uncle's family's land has also been divided. Half of the land on the side of the road was given to Su Zifeng for planting. The old couple guarded the area around the foundation of the new house. The Chai Mountain was not divided among them and was shared by everyone.
But now that Chaishan Mountain has been opened up into orchards and bamboo forests, Su Zifeng was quick-thinking and opened a teahouse and canteen on the roadside. He was also responsible for cleaning the trucks, adding water, repairing tires, and cooking for the drivers.
There is a lot of coal pulled out of Guizhou. When the drivers passing by here pull coal, they will sell some at a low price to the second brother. Then the second brother will run the faucet to pour water into the carriage to restore the weight of the coal truck.
This is a necessary measure, mainly to prevent the danger caused by spontaneous combustion of coal in the carriage, but it has also become a tacitly accepted way for coal transport drivers to make extra money.
In this way, the second brother not only converted his and his fifth uncle's homes to coal-burning, but also started a coal retail business.
Sliding from the edge of a large coal pile to the field, several turbid water lines appeared in the ditch beside the rice stubble in the field, shooting away in panic into the distance.
"Fish!" Mai Xiaomiao clapped her hands and shouted excitedly.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
The second brother spotted a mass of muddy water, held up the cover and pressed it down suddenly. There was a crackling sound inside the cover.
"It's covered, grab your elbow quickly!"
Zhou Zhi put his hand into the cover and touched it twice, and took out a rice flower carp weighing more than one kilogram: "Hey hey hey, it's open!"
This field is considered large in Dajing Township, almost over an acre. When the second brother was planting rice, he deliberately planted fish fry. After the rice was harvested, he opened several deep ditches in the field, connecting several Deep pits for fish to survive the winter.
It is very convenient to catch it now.
In a short while, the two of them caught a large bucket of carp, crucian carp, loach, and eel.
Lunch was prepared by the fifth aunt and the second sister-in-law. The cold dishes were the folded ear root dug from the edge of the field and the vegetable slices. The freshly killed New Year pig bacon was just stewed with bacon legs and radish, and the carp was made into lump fish and small crucian carp. I made fried crispy fish with loach, grilled eel with green bamboo shoots and garlic, and also made local chicken soup, stir-fried chicken offal, sweet potato vermicelli, chicken blood, and pea tips in chicken soup, and a plate of vegetable stir-fried cabbage moss.
"Wow, this radish is really delicious!" Mai Xiaomiao praised the big radish from her fifth uncle's house.
"Xiao Miao, please eat more meat." Fifth Aunt said with a smile: "The pigs are getting bigger this year, and the bacon is a bit fat. You choose the thinner ones."
"All the dishes cooked by my fifth aunt are delicious, but this radish elbow was said to be taken to Lianhe Township for planting. I was curious about how delicious it would be, and I can't forget it." Mai Xiaomiao said with a smile.
"This radish is from one year... It seems to be 1982, right? We bought the seedlings at the market, and the radishes grown that year were big and sweet, and the big ones could weigh three pounds." The fifth uncle introduced: "We just kept the seeds. After that, I basically plant some every year. What I like to eat most every time I come here are these radishes and cabbage heads from the countryside." (End of Chapter)
