Chapter 454 70 Cannon Fodder Little Educated Youth (18)
The journey was uneventful and nothing bad happened.Thank you for buying the sleeper ticket.
In today's trains, hard-seat compartments can be said to be distinct from hard sleepers and soft sleepers.There are more people in the hard-seat carriage and it is relatively cluttered. After all, some people bought standing tickets.But the hard sleeper compartment is relatively clean, and everyone has their own place.Sometimes, passengers sleeping in the upper and middle berths will sit in the lower berth for a while, have a meal, or sit there to put on their shoes. As long as they say it nicely, the guests in the lower berth will not refuse.
It is rare for guests in hard-seat carriages to seek refuge in hard-seat carriages.Even if one or two appear occasionally, they will be quickly asked to go back by the patrolling conductors.This is especially true for soft sleeper carriages.
Xie Jin slept on the upper bunk, and occasionally came down to walk around the corridor and go to the dining car to have a meal. At other times, he would not come down if he could.Her middle berth and lower berth were occupied by three people, a mother and her son. They were dressed simply and patched, but they were clean and tidy. The mother had a gentle temperament, and the two children were well-educated.The eldest son is already older and looks to be only two or three years younger than her. The younger son is only six or seven years old. The three members of the family are just like her. They just stay there and don't move as much as they can.
However, Xie Jin still deduced a general story from the few words the three of them chatted about. The husband and his parents-in-law were sent to the countryside together, leaving his pregnant daughter-in-law and eldest son in the city. Later, the younger son was born, and the three mothers They depended on each other in the city, and now that the younger son was old enough to bear the long journey, the mother took the child to visit her father and grandparents.Xie Jin could hear the three people's longing for a family reunion from their conversations.Moreover, it is very likely that the destination of these three people is the same as hers.
This train almost always stops at every stop.Even though I bought a sleeper berth, it’s still difficult to get a good rest on the train.The train stopped and went, and the sound of the train hitting the rails also sounded and stopped. It was so annoying that it might as well keep sounding.Every time the train stops, the passengers on the car will whisper:
"Where is this stop?"
"How many stops have you walked? How many more stops are there to go?"
There are more than 70 stops along the way...
The closer they got to their destination, the family of three became visibly nervous and excited.
The youngest son asked: "Can we see dad when we get off the train?"
Mom: "No. We still have to take a minibus to the county town below. Then your dad found a car to pick us up."
Eldest son: "Dad, do you still have a car over there?"
Mom was not sure either: "Maybe it's an ox cart and a horse carriage..."
Xie Jin was no longer sleepy immediately, she was so lucky.Now that it was confirmed that they were going to the northwest farm, they happened to take her with them, saving her the trouble of finding a way to hitchhike.
Thinking of this, she poked her head down from the upper bunk, with a sweet smile on her face, and said, "Auntie, can you take me with you? I'll go to a place with you, and I'll go see my father and grandma."
a family of three:"……"
This person's presence was so low, it was as if he didn't exist along the way.The sudden sound startled them all.
The child was the first to break the silence and started chatting with her: "Sister, I am also going to see my father and grandparents."
Xie Jin lay on the upper bunk and stretched out his hand. The child also raised his little arm, and the two shook hands.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Xie Jin. What's your name?"
"My name is Li Xiang, and I am Xiang who presents good fortune in times of distress."
"Wow, this is a good name, and it also means good luck and good luck."
The mother spoke quickly, interrupting the childish chat between the two.
"Okay, since we are on the same journey, let's go together."
This mother seems to be a kind-hearted person, but not too thoughtful.The eldest son was more cautious than her. He seemed to want to ask a few more questions to explore Xie Jin's background, but when his mother agreed, he shut up.
Xie Jin could tell that this person was still a little wary of her.
Tsk~ little brat.
"Thank you auntie."
"You're welcome, my surname is Zou and my husband's surname is Li." Ms. Zou said, then pointed to her eldest son and introduced: "This is my eldest son, Li Jian."
Xie Jin updated his title: "Hello Aunt Zou, hello Li Jian."
Li Jian: "Xie Jin, hello!"
Xie Jin: "..."
Ms. Zou said with a smile: "Ignore him, he doesn't know how to chat. Xiao Xie, you look young, why are you traveling far alone?"
When Xie Jin heard this question, she immediately wanted to perform. Her mood suddenly hit rock bottom and she became depressed.
Ms. Zou: “…”
It seems she asked the wrong question.Could it be that her mother also went to the northwest with her father and fostered her elsewhere?No, she didn't mention going to see her mother just now.Did the mother remarry?It's not impossible.
Ms. Zou sighed inwardly, what kind of world is this? How many people are forced to separate their wives and children, and how many children are forced to give up their parents!This is still good, but what is worse is that those who report each other are really disrespectful of human ethics.
Many couples are forced to divorce. Although it was initially a temporary solution, as time goes by, many fake divorces turn into real divorces.She herself doesn't really have any opinions on remarrying. She's having a hard time and wants to find ways to improve it. What's wrong?It is all forced by life. Men can marry another person, and women can of course marry again.No one knows better than her how difficult it is for a single woman to live with a child.However, of course, the mood of the children must also be considered when remarrying.Xie Jin's mother may have ignored her child's feelings.
No, there is the worst situation, Xie Jin's mother passed away.
Ms. Zou's expression was unpredictable. Xie Jin, who was waiting for her to ask questions, was so confused that he almost couldn't continue the performance.
Li Jian was speechless. Looking at his mother's situation, he was just thinking about it.Damn, this person is good at everything, but she is very good at thinking. If someone just says a word, she can walk through other people's lives in her head.You might be thinking of something at this moment.
Ms. Zou came back to her senses and saw that Xie Jin was hesitant to speak. In the end, she said nothing and turned into a long sigh. The main reason was that she didn't know what the situation was and it was hard to say comforting words in case she said it wrong. What's up?
She reached out and patted Xie Jin's shoulder and said, "Xiao Xie, don't be depressed. You will see your father and the others soon. Be happy so that they can rest assured about you."
Xie Jin: "..."
What have you been thinking about?
Li Xiang didn't understand the adult's twists and turns and asked directly: "Sister, where is your mother? Why didn't she go out with you?"
Ms. Zou: “!!!”
She winked at Li Xiang, didn't you see that Xiao Xie was feeling sad? Aren't you stabbing him in the heart?
Li Xiang can't understand, Li Xiang is just curious.He looked at Xie Jin, waiting for her answer.
Xie Jin stopped acting and quickly walked down the steps taken by Li Xiang.
"My mother kicked me out and severed the mother-daughter relationship with me. How could she stay with me?"
Ms. Zou, Li Jian and Li Xiang: "!!!???"
This time the curiosity really came up.
Ms. Zou first comforted her: "Don't be sad. Tell Auntie what's going on."
Xie Jin: "..."
It was as if I saw myself facing Ms. Ren Zhaodi last night.
But she still dutifully shared her melons with everyone.
"Before my father came to the northwest, my mother divorced him. Then she remarried immediately. My stepfather has two children. His daughter is about the same age as me. It is time to go to the countryside this year. My mother asked me to go to the countryside for her. , I didn’t want to, so she disowned me and told me to go find my dad. She even wrote a statement to sever ties, telling me not to come back to her no matter how much suffering I suffered outside.”
Xie Jin buried her face on the bed as she spoke, not wanting anyone to see her sadness and despair.
Ms. Zou: “…”
She choked up all of a sudden and didn't know what to say at all.It seems that her mother's death is not the worst, but now this situation is!
Some people are better off dead than alive.
The three young and middle-aged men on the opposite bed, who looked like they were on business, usually read newspapers without speaking, and had a low sense of presence, also showed the expressions of those who are eating melons.
They didn’t understand, but they were shocked!
Li Jian and Li Xiang also achieved the achievement of "I can understand every word, but together I don't know what it means."
Li Jian thought to himself, how could such a thing happen?Their parents also divorced that year, but their relationship cannot be separated with a divorce certificate.Moreover, even if the husband and wife separate, how can the mother's love for her children disappear?
Li Xiang was even more confused, but he comforted him: "Sister, don't be sad, I'll give you some of my mother's money."
Everyone present: "..."
In fact, the conditions of some farms at that time were not bad. After 68, some farms were converted into cadre schools, and there were also many newly built cadre schools, which were built to imitate military camps, but they had to work, which was tiring.Of course, there are also bad ones.The two in the picture are considered to be in the best condition, and the second one is from the Ministry of Culture.
