Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

The next day.

After He Yuzhu finished cooking a big pot of food at the steel rolling mill, he asked for leave from his team leader. As agreed, Zhou Zheng took He Yuzhu to Minister Liu's home, who happened to be at home.

Zhou Zheng did not stay at Minister Liu's house for dinner, but rode his bicycle to Tian Xinyue's house.

In the morning, Tian Xinyue returned to the Yanhe Gang's base.

This trip to Hong Kong will take several days, and she needs to explain something to Hu Zi.

He Yushui naturally followed Tian Xinyue so that it would be convenient for them to gather together.

They bought tickets for the evening train.

At that time, people usually bought tickets for long-distance trips at night so as not to waste time.

When Zhou Zheng arrived at Tian Xinyue's house, He Yushui and Tian Xinyue had just finished taking a shower and were sitting on the bed in bath towels, wiping each other's hair.

He sat down between the two women.

"Packed up?"

He sniffed his nose.

"You guys still use 'washing incense'?"

Tian Xinyue rolled her eyes at Zhou Zheng.

"hold head high……"

"I'm afraid of losing face. I heard from Sister E that Hong Kong is much more advanced than here. I have to dress up nicely to avoid being called a 'country girl'. I can't afford to lose face."

He Yushui's face flushed and she moaned because Zhou Zheng put his big hand into the bath towel.

……

Four p.m.

The three of them got ready and took the bus to the train station.

They bought a sleeper berth for 5:10, which left them with plenty of time.

It is worth mentioning this "sleeper berth". In this era, "sleeper berths" belong to strategic resources and ordinary people cannot sit on them casually. Only Zhou Zheng has a letter of introduction from the "Ministry of Metallurgy" to be qualified to buy a sleeper berth.

Tian Xinyue and He Yushui had never ridden in a sleeper berth before and seemed extremely excited.

Zhou Zheng had a toothache...

The speed of trains in this era is actually very slow.

To go to Hong Kong, you have to cross four cities starting from the old city, namely Shijiazhuang, Wuhan, Changsha and Guangzhou.

Then take a bus in Guangzhou to Shenzhen.

You can then take a boat from Shenzhen to reach Hong Kong.

The whole journey takes about 100 hours, or 4 and a half days.

So long...

"There's nothing to live for."

When they arrived at the train station, Zhou Zheng got off the bus and gave some instructions to the two girls.

"Rainwater, green fennel..."

"You guys should follow closely and don't fall behind. It will be very troublesome if you get separated at the train station."

He Yushui couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the pedestrians coming and going at the train station.

"There are so many people."

Tian Xinyue continued, "Well... after all, almost all the tourists from the entire city are here, and since everyone is back to work after the Spring Festival, it's normal that there are so many people."

Zhou Zheng thought:

"This is just the beginning. You have never seen a train station in the future."

'That's what makes it crowded.'

He pulled the two women through the crowd and squeezed into the waiting room.

I looked at my watch and there were still 20 minutes before the ticket check.

"Rainwater, green fennel..."

"You two find a place to sit first, I'm going to the bathroom..."

Tian Xinyue urged: "Come back soon..."

"Yeah!" Zhou Zheng responded and walked towards the toilet.

He Yushui was a little nervous, she looked at Tian Xinyue.

"Sister Xinyue, shouldn't we prepare some food? This will take several days. Are we going to be hungry all the time?"

Tian Xinyue shook her head in amusement and whispered into He Yushui's ear.

"Don't worry about it, your brother Xiao Zhou has already prepared..."

"You won't starve."

Zhou Zheng came to the bathroom and immediately lit a cigarette. The smell here was so strong that it was a bit irritating to the eyes.

At this time, someone greeted Zhou Zheng.

"Comrade, where are you going?"

Zhou Zheng did not hide it.

"To Guangzhou."

The man said, "Wow, that's really far. I can go to Shijiazhuang and arrive there early in the morning."

"Are you taking this bus too?"

"It should be. The bus will leave at 5:10. There will be more than ten minutes for ticket inspection. Which bus do you want?"

"Sleeper berth."

"Oh, leader."

Zhou Zheng pulled the corner of his mouth: "No..."

"Public office!"

"Okay, let's talk again when we have a chance. I have friends waiting for me over there."

There wasn't much to say when you just met by chance. After he had his fill, he said goodbye and left. At that time, smoking was allowed in the waiting room, so he went out with a cigarette in his mouth.

He Yushui and Tian Xinyue were chatting with a woman.

Zhou Zheng walked over and patted Tian Xinyue on the shoulder.

"Let's go... Tickets will be checked soon, and we'll go to the next station."

But the woman said, "Zhou Zheng!"

Only then did Zhou Zheng look at the woman carefully.

"Um……"

"Wang Guizhi?"

Wang Guizhi smiled.

"Long time no see. In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up."

He Yushui said, "Brother Zhou, Aunt Wang is working in Fengtai now, so it's on our way."

Wang Guizhi smiled awkwardly:

"Yeah, I'm taking this train too."

"I heard that you all got into college. What a big change."

"..."

Actually, Zhou Zheng and Wang Guizhi had nothing to say to each other. After all, Wang Guizhi was Yi Zhonghai's backer. Strictly speaking, they belonged to "enemy camps", but they hadn't seen each other for some years, so it was a bit rude to be on the verge of a fight.

"Um……"

"The car is coming, let's go."

They walked slowly towards the platform among the crowd.

Zhou Zheng walked in front, followed by Tian Xinyue, behind Tian Xinyue was He Yushui, and behind He Yushui was Wang Guizhi.

It seems that Wang Guizhi is still somewhat useful.

After all, Zhou Zheng had slapped the big sister in the front row on the butt several times. It was too crowded, and it was hard to ensure that Tian Xinyue and He Yushui would not be taken advantage of.

I finally passed the ticket gate.

The big sister in the front row turned her head away angrily.

Blushing and angrily said:

"Why are you pushing me? Are you trying to be a hooligan?"

The older sister wasn’t bad looking either, at least prettier than Qin Huairu. Zhou Zheng’s face turned red when he heard that.

"Sister...I didn't mean it."

The elder sister had actually calmed down after seeing Zhou Zheng's appearance, and she snorted.

"Hmph... stop squeezing me."

Zhou Zheng was also speechless.

But I can only smile along.

This is why it is not convenient to do it in public, otherwise I would have to "whip" her severely.

The embarrassment passed by in a flash.

Fortunately, the surrounding noise is very noisy.

It did not attract the attention of Tian Xinyue and He Yushui, otherwise it would have been a joke.

This was a small episode. After passing the ticket gate, I got onto the platform.

In a few minutes a train came from a distance.

Blowing the whistle.

Woo——.

Woo——.

Woo————.

No one knew where the elder sister had gone, so Zhou Zheng watched the train pull into the station with a disappointed look on his face.

Until the train stops.

He never saw his elder sister again.

I guess we won't meet again, he thought to himself...

Tian Xinyue pushed Zhou Zheng from behind.

"Get in the car!"

"..."

Although Zhou Zheng bought a sleeper ticket, they boarded the train as usual.

If you want to get a sleeper berth, you need to apply for it on the train.

On the train.

Zhou Zheng went to find the flight attendant.

The gentle lady attendant of this carriage enthusiastically took Zhou Zheng to go through the procedures for the sleeper berth.

Zhou Zheng showed his ticket and filled out a form under the guidance of the flight attendant before he was assigned to the designated sleeper compartment.

The flight attendant took Zhou Zheng and others to the sleeper berth workshop.

There are four beds in the workshop, with 'upper and lower bunks' on the left and right sides.

The beds are provided with sheets and blankets.

There was already a passenger sitting on one of the lower berths.

She was a girl with a strong scent of books.

She was reading an original translation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with great interest.

Quiet...

nature……

She shifted her gaze away from the text and looked at Zhou Zheng and his group.

"Hello..."

"I'm on the upper bunk, it's not convenient for me to read, can I switch seats with you guys?"

The flight attendant reminded: "Your sleeper berth has arrived. Smoking is not allowed here. If you want to smoke, please go to the designated smoking area. I wish you a pleasant journey."

After she finished speaking, she left the sleeper car workshop.

The question returns to the girl's request.

Tian Xinyue and He Yushui are not stingy women.

He immediately smiled and said, "Okay."

"Where are you going?"

She closed the book gently and smiled peacefully.

"Poetry and the distant future, facing the rising sun..."

"I want to... go see the sea, and then... see... the flowers blooming in the spring."

Zhou Zheng was almost amused by her.

"Haha, you are really humorous..."

"What do you call it?"

The girl smiled at Zhou Zheng: "Su Yumo..."
