Reborn in the 1970s, heading towards a happy life

The train started and slowly ran forward, but the uncle and father on the platform could no longer be seen. Looking at Zhang Jialing who was leaning against the window and looking out, Zhang Quanning smiled.

"Okay, I can't see it anymore."

Zhang Jialing looked at the dark night sky outside and sat back.

"Oh, I feel a little bit reluctant to leave home suddenly."

Zhang Quanning took out a paper bag from the bag on the side, took out a pancake and handed it to Zhang Jialing.

"Don't think too much. We just won't see each other for a few months. We have summer vacation, so we can go home. I'll come to Beijing to pick you up and have a pancake. You must be hungry too!"

Zhang Jialing's sad mood also dissipated when she smelled the aroma of oil cakes, and she suddenly felt a little hungry. Also, counting the time, it had been several hours since dinner in the evening, and she was sitting on the tractor again. After an hour of bumpy driving on the bumpy road, all the food we had for the night was digested in our stomachs.

I took the pancake and started to eat it slowly. I bought this pancake yesterday when I was watching the lanterns in the county town, just to eat it while taking the train. Fortunately, it is winter now, if it were summer, it would be bad.

As soon as he finished eating the pancake, the second brother handed him a military kettle.

"Drink some hot tea and go to bed quickly."

Zhang Jialing enjoyed her brother's favor with peace of mind. After drinking tea, she leaned against the wall of the carriage and slowly fell asleep. She felt a burst of noise in her daze. When Zhang Jialing opened her eyes, she saw that the train had stopped. After getting off the train, many passengers carrying large and small bags got on the train. At this time, the train car was brightly lit and there were many passengers coming and going.

The seats occupied by the three brothers and sisters happened to be three, and there were no other people around, so no one else sat over them. When the three of them got on the train, half of the seats in the carriage were vacant. Now, in just a short while, the seats were full, and even three of them sat there. There were also three people sitting opposite the person, one woman and two men, like a family of three, a middle-aged couple and a little boy of eleven or twelve years old.

The middle-aged man greeted Zhang Quanning as soon as he sat down.

"Little brother, are you going to Beijing?"

Zhang Quanning glanced at him with squinted eyes but did not speak. Zhang Songning smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

When the middle-aged man saw that the two brothers didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he whispered a few words to the middle-aged woman and then got up and walked towards the connection between the carriages. The little boy sat quietly. In the innermost part, he was holding a steamed bun and gnawing on it.

The train restarted and Zhang Jialing slowly fell asleep again. Seeing Zhang Jialing asleep, Zhang Quanning took out a cotton coat from his luggage and covered Zhang Jialing.

"Second brother, you should also take a nap, I won't doze off for the time being."

Zhang Quanning was not polite. The two brothers had discussed it before they came. They would take turns to watch the night on the train, and one of them had to be awake.

When Zhang Jialing woke up again, the sky outside the car was already bright. She moved her stiff neck, and then looked around and found that her second brother was sitting near the aisle, while her eldest brother was sitting next to her. He was still asleep leaning against the backrest.

Zhang Jialing, who was still thinking of going to the toilet, couldn't bear to wake up her elder brother, so she decided to sit for a while longer, supporting her head with her hands and watching the sky outside getting brighter little by little.

Looking at the time, it was daybreak. The passengers in the carriage slowly woke up. More and more people were walking back and forth. Zhang Songning also woke up. Zhang Jialing then got up and went to the toilet. Zhang Quanning originally wanted to follow. Zhang Jialing refused anyway. He was on the train and he had martial arts skills, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

It will take them two nights and one day to go to Beijing this time, which means they will arrive in Beijing at around five o'clock tomorrow morning. I think my aunt will be able to receive the telegram during the day.

After washing up and returning to his seat, Zhang Quanning had already arranged breakfast, which was still pancakes with an egg.

"Hurry up, little sister. Brother just went to get hot water. You should eat quickly while it's hot."

Zhang Jialing was not polite, took the pancake and started eating it.

"Eldest brother, second brother, have you eaten?"

Zhang Songning said.

"After you've eaten, you should hurry up and eat too!"

The middle-aged woman opposite smiled.

"You brother and sister have such a good relationship!"

After finishing speaking, there was still a look of emotion on his face, as if he envied the relationship between the three of them as brother and sister.

Zhang Jialing and the other three just smiled, said nothing, and finished their breakfast quickly. Because they slept all night while sitting on the train, Zhang Jialing felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do about it, that was just the way it was on the train.

After dinner, there was nothing to do, so Zhang Jialing took out the book he had prepared and started reading. Zhang Quanning couldn't sit still, so he said.

"Brother, little sister, you sit down while I go to the front of the carriage to smoke a cigarette."

Zhang Songning glared at him and said, "Stop smoking."

Zhang Quanning smiled.

"I know, isn't it boring to be on the train?"

Zhang Jialing really didn't know when her second brother learned to smoke, so she asked directly.

"Second brother, when did you learn to smoke? Smoking is bad for your health, so smoke less!"

Zhang Quanning stood up and patted Zhang Jialing's head gently.

"I know, I'm almost a housekeeper!"

Zhang Jialing suddenly looked at him angrily.

"I don't know the heart of a good person, huh."

After Zhang Quanning finished speaking, he went directly to the connection between the carriages and stood there smoking a cigarette and thinking about things.

"Brother, lend me a fire."

A voice called back Zhang Quanning, who was deep in thought. He glanced at the young man beside him, took out a match from his pocket and handed it to the young man.

The man lit the cigarette, then looked at Zhang Quanning and said,

"Brother, are you going to Beijing?"

Zhang Quunning nodded, but didn't speak. The young man saw that Zhang Quunning didn't want to talk, so he started talking to himself, which made Zhang Quunning feel very upset, so he had to walk towards his place.

Time soon arrived at noon, and the three brothers and sisters still took out the pancakes and ate them with hot water. After eating, Zhang Jialing wanted to go to the toilet. Zhang Quanning originally wanted to follow, but Zhang Jialing refused, so he had to stay. Got a seat here.

When Zhang Jialing came out of the toilet, she heard an exclamation from the car on the other side. She subconsciously looked over and found that it was Cai Ling. She saw a middle-aged man holding Cai Ling's hand and still mumbling. What was he saying? Because it was far away and noisy, Zhang Jialing didn't hear clearly what he said?

Cai Ling, on the other hand, was dragging her body backwards, still holding on to the seat with one hand and unwilling to leave. Zhang Jialing frowned, walked over quickly, grabbed the man's arm and exerted a slight force, and the man's hand suddenly He loosened his grip on Cai Ling's arm, turned around, and looked at Zhang Jialing with an angry look on his face.

"Let go, who are you, don't meddle in other people's business."

Zhang Jialing glanced at him and said nothing, but looked at Cai Ling and said.

"What's the matter?"
