There are not many people at the train station. There are very few people who can afford to take the train these days. People generally don’t travel far.
Especially because the county town is so close to the countryside, it is far inferior to those developed cities.
Zhou Ziwen, Shen Zhaodi, and Zhou Chaoyang came to the ticket window and purchased train tickets to the provincial capital the next day.
The journey back to Sijiucheng is relatively long. There is no direct train here, so they have to change trains midway.
The situation of Shen Zhaodi is similar. They all need to take a train to Bingshi before they can reach their respective destinations.
In this way, they can travel together for a while.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ziwen did not buy a soft sleeper.
Originally, he was thinking of buying a soft sleeper, which would make the Chen sisters feel more relaxed.
But in this era, soft sleepers are not so easy to buy.
Soft sleeper carriages are a relatively luxurious way to travel in this era. Usually only senior cadres, returned overseas Chinese, foreign friends or those with special certificates can purchase them.
When selling soft sleeper tickets, the conductor at the railway station will ask for relevant certificates or documents, such as work permit, letter of introduction from the unit, etc., to prove that the ticket purchaser is qualified to purchase soft sleeper tickets.
For ordinary people, or educated youths like them, they can only buy hard seats or standing tickets.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen also thought about finding some connections and getting a soft sleeper or something.
But this is too much trouble, and even if they buy a soft sleeper, they won’t be able to sit there for long.
When you get to the Ice Market, you have to buy a new ticket.
Once there, he has no connections left.
"Let's go back first."
After buying the tickets, Zhou Ziwen greeted Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang to go home.
The three people left from the train station and then came to the bus station.
I returned to Lushan County by car, picked up my bicycle, and then rushed home.
Shen Zhaodi jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle lightly and gently held Zhou Ziwen's waist.
Zhou Ziwen stepped hard and the bicycle drove steadily out of the county hospital.
They returned along the way they came, accompanied by sunshine, breeze, and beautiful countryside.
"Zhao Di, when are you going to come back?"
On the way, Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Let's celebrate the New Year! What, you can't bear to part with it?"
Shen Zhaodi leaned into Zhou Ziwen's ear and asked with a smile.
"Haha, yes! Who would give it up!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded without hesitation.
“Hee hee, then there is no other way.”
Hearing this, Shen Zhaodi was very happy.
She knew that Zhou Ziwen still had her in his heart.
"Wait for me tonight, I will see you off."
Zhou Ziwen turned around and whispered in his ear.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhaodi's face turned red instantly.
However, Zhou Ziwen's riding speed was not slow at this moment, and the wind was blowing on his face, so you couldn't tell it.
Back home, the Chen sisters are preparing dry food for the road.
The journey home is not short, it takes two or three days to arrive.
Everyone has to prepare their own food along the way.
The two sisters prepared a lot of dry food, including steamed buns, steamed buns, dried meat, pancakes, bacon, sausages, eggs, duck eggs, etc.
There are a lot of them prepared just for these.
In order to pass the boring time during the journey, they also prepared some snacks.
Like melon seeds, peanuts, hawthorn slices, dried sweet potatoes, etc.
"Brother Ziwen, you are back! How are you? Have you bought the tickets?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly came over.
"Of course I bought it. We have to get up early for the tickets tomorrow morning."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded. "Great."
Chen Qiaoyi said happily.
While talking, she touched her belly, feeling nervous and excited.
Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Qiaoyi's movements, and a warm current surged in his heart. He comforted softly: "Yiyi, don't be nervous, everything will go well."
Chen Shiying also came over and asked with concern: "Is the ticket a hard seat or a soft sleeper? It takes a long time to sit on a hard seat."
Zhou Ziwen replied with some regret: "It is a hard seat. Soft sleepers are not easy to buy, and I didn't buy one either."
>Chen Shiying nodded understandingly: "It doesn't matter, you can survive on a hard seat. The key is to get home safely."
Chen Qiaoyi interjected: "Yes, Brother Ziwen, we don't choose, we can go home Just fine.”
Zhou Ziwen smiled and touched Chen Qiaoyi's head: "Haha, yes, it will be good to go home."
Then, Zhou Ziwen turned to Chen Shiying: "Sister, how are you preparing the dry food?"
Chen Shiying pointed to the pile of food on the table: "It's almost ready. There are steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, bacon, sausages, as well as eggs and duck eggs, which are enough for us to eat on the way."
Zhou Ziwen walked over, looked at the food on the table, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you have prepared it very thoughtfully."
Then he saw melon seeds, peanuts and hawthorn on one side. Slices, dried sweet potatoes and other snacks, he smiled and asked: "We have prepared a lot of these snacks."
Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile: "Yes, we are on the road for a long time, so some snacks can relieve the boredom."
Zhou Ziwen sighed in his heart that with these two sisters here, he didn't have to worry about the chores at home.
With Chen Shiying, a virtuous sister-in-law who is beautiful and smart, he only needs to make money to support his family.
Zhou Ziwen came to the two sisters and gently hugged Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi: "Thank you, it's great to have you."
The two sisters were disturbed by Zhou Ziwen's sudden hug. I have to be a little shy, but my heart is very warm.
In the evening, Zhou Ziwen specially invited Shen Zhaodi, Zhou Chaoyang, and Shen Zhaodi to have a meal at home.
"Yao Yao, when we leave tomorrow, the house and Tayun will be left to you."
Zhou Ziwen poured her a cup of sour plum soup.
"If you have anything to do, you can go to Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhou. They will help you deal with it."
Tang Yaoyao raised her head and patted her chest confidently, "Brother Ziwen, you Don’t worry! I promise to take good care of them when you leave.”
"Yao Yao, you also need to feed the chickens in the backyard! Don't forget."
Chen Qiaoyi reminded from the side.
"Well, you don't have to keep the eggs laid by the chickens, you can just eat them yourself."
Zhou Ziwen agreed from the side.
"Haha, that's great. Brother Ziwen, your eggs are the most delicious. I want to eat more."
Tang Yaoyao said happily.
“Haha, eat whatever you want.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
Of course his eggs are delicious.
His chickens eat well. The feed is specially made and herbs are added to it. The eggs they lay are not only big in size but also taste very good.
Although his breeding skill level is not high, when combined with his medical skills, the effect produced is not one plus one equals two.
They talked and laughed, looking forward to going home but also reluctant to say goodbye.
Midnight.
Zhou Ziwen quietly came to Shen Zhaodi's home.
As soon as he entered the room, he was pulled over by Shen Zhaodi.
The two exchanged words and even the stars in the sky couldn't help but blink.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhou Ziwen got up with his two sisters.
They had a simple breakfast and then set off with Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi.
With them is Tang Yaoyao.
Tang Yaoyao went to see them off, and was also responsible for riding the bicycle back.
In the morning light, Zhou Ziwen and his party embarked on a journey back to their hometown. (End of this chapter)
