Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Om-!

As the train roared, Liu Ping'an's face turned pale as paper. He held the handle tightly with both hands and got off the train with difficulty.

His steps were unsteady and he seemed like he might fall to the ground at any moment.

The other passengers were also rubbing their sore buttocks, their faces were equally pale, they stood on the platform with tired expressions and empty eyes.

Especially those workers who came to Heihe Province on official business looked listless, as if they had lost all their energy.

As Liu Ping'an walked, he recalled the events of the past few days, and a strong sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

The means of transportation in this era are so simple that they are just pure means of transportation and have no comfort at all.

In the hard-seat carriage of the green train, there are only simple long wooden benches and cold metal seats. If you sit on them for a long time, your buttocks will become numb, as if they were sealed in the seat.

And because the number of seats was limited, as time went on, more and more people came and the entire carriage became overcrowded. Even the corridors were packed with people, making it difficult to pass.

Going to the toilet is harder than climbing to the sky. The only way to use the toilet on the platform is to take advantage of the time when the train stops at a big station and everyone gets off to rest.

Therefore, along the way, no one dared to eat or drink too much, for fear of having to go to the toilet frequently.

"Oh, this train ride made me feel dizzy. I don't know how I managed to make it through." Chen Xiaohu rubbed his butt hard and complained.

"Yeah, I feel really bad too. The train is shaking so much that it makes me feel sick. And the corridors are full of people, so I can't get through."

Chang Yan, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but agree.

"You guys are fine. I see double in everything I see now. I dare not even eat water or bread, for fear that I will have to hold it and have to go to the toilet. There will be no space for me to go to the toilet then." A female colleague from the purchasing department, supported by her colleagues, smiled helplessly.

This is not a business trip, it's torture.

Especially those who have never been on a business trip are still scared.

Hearing this, Liu Ping'an suddenly understood why the passengers who got off the train at the Sijiucheng Railway Station looked pale.

It turned out that it was because I didn’t have enough food.

He couldn't help but be thankful for having the space, so he could take food out of it whenever he had nothing to do.

And he is a man, so he can just squeeze through the crowd to go to the toilet, otherwise it would be even more difficult.

But compared to these, what was even more unbearable for him was actually the noise in the carriage.

There were not only the noisy voices of adults in the carriage, but also the sounds of children crying.

The noise gave Liu Ping'an a splitting headache, his temples throbbing and he couldn't calm down.

Especially the young children, they seem to have no idea how to control their emotions, their crying goes on and on like a never-ending concert.

Although there are still naughty children in later generations, there are still many sensible parents. Even if they encounter rogue parents, they can call the flight attendants for help.

But these children simply couldn't understand other people's advice, and the more they were advised, the harder they cried.

Fortunately, there was a smart person like Liu Pingan in the carriage where he was.

He took out some candies and successfully attracted the children's attention and stopped them from crying.

Without his help, the whole carriage would have been in chaos.

At this time, Section Chief Chen looked at the workers coming out of another carriage with a smug smile on his face.

The burly middle-aged man needed help to get out of the car. He looked very embarrassed, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle. In comparison, Liu Ping'an and his companions looked more energetic.

"Look at that bear-like figure of Old Wu. He is so strong, but what good is he? He is just a piece of cake."

Section Chief Chen patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder and couldn't help but sneer.

"Chief, let's get out of here quickly."

Liu Ping'an saw the platform manager coming to drive them out to avoid delaying other passengers from coming in, so he quickly reminded them.

"Okay, let's get out quickly. I guess someone is waiting for us outside."

Section Chief Chen waved his hand, and everyone followed him out of the platform and walked straight out of the train station.

As soon as they exited the station, Section Chief Chen and his team spotted a few people holding up signs not far away. The signs had red paint on them that read "Welcome workers on business trips from the city of Beijing!"

Upon seeing this, Section Chief Chen hurriedly waved his hand and walked over, then took out his work ID from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The man glanced at his work ID card, and his originally serious expression relaxed a little: "Please wait aside, the people from other units haven't arrived yet."

As he spoke, the man ticked the Red Star Steel Mill on a notebook and then looked towards the train station.

Section Chief Chen and his colleagues had nothing to do, so they had to wait aside for others to arrive.

After a long while, when everyone was present, this man led everyone to the resting place.

After all, it was completely dark at this moment.

Don’t mention it, the provincial capital is different. Guesthouses are also quite good places to rest in this era, and they cost much less.

When arranging the rooms, Liu Ping'an, Chen Xiaohu, Chen Dahu and Chang Yan were assigned to the same room, with just two people per bed.

The guesthouses of that era were pretty good, clean and there wasn't anything dirty.

Unlike later times, in some places hotels cannot even guarantee hygiene.

Sometimes I am so scared even when I go to sleep, afraid that I might get sick like what is reported in the news.

Everyone was tired, and after eating the white porridge and pickles sent by the guesthouse, they all went to wash up simply.

After all, we have been weak for too long, eating too much and too greasy food, which is not good for the body.

Of course, there might not be much meat for them to eat.

But some of it is good to eat.

After washing up, the four of them were very tired today. Da Hu and Xiao Hu slept together, and Liu Ping'an and Chang Yan slept together.

Although the conditions here are much better than on the train.

But Liu Ping'an couldn't sleep much, especially when he heard the snoring of these boys, which made him even more unable to sleep.

The thought of being able to sleep in the arms of my lovely, sweet-smelling little wife in the old city makes me feel happy.

You can also eat a variety of delicious food in the morning.

He felt a little sad.

But that's how people are. Liu Ping'an got used to the snoring after a while and fell asleep in a daze.

But he didn't sleep for long before he was woken up by someone.

Liu Pingan looked at Chen Xiaohu scratching his head in embarrassment and said in silence: "Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?"

"Brother, are you asleep?"

?

Liu Ping'an's mind was full of question marks, and he said speechlessly: "What's the matter? Just tell me directly."
