60s Splendid Life

This time, besides the luggage they brought, Lu Jin also brought a lot of money and tickets, besides the tens of thousands he earned from doing business in the past two years, and their uncle also gave him 2000 yuan , plus his uncle gave him one or two hundred dollars from time to time in the past year, and his uncle gave them almost 3000 yuan.

He knew that the 3000 yuan was probably all his uncle's property, and he gave it all to them.

When he came out of the house, his uncle stuffed him with a bag of tickets. On the way, he opened it and looked at it. Inside were all kinds of tickets from all over the country. They can use them even when they go out of town. It should be exchanged by their uncle at work for them. of.

Lu Jin didn't dare to take these valuable things with him, and put them all in the space.Not to mention this era, even in a few decades, the number of thieves on the train will not be known, so when you go out, you must look after their luggage.Of course, there are also children, and there are a lot of kidnappers these days. If their children are lost, they may not be found.

Lu Jin told his grandfather that there are many kidnappers out there who want to keep an eye on the children. His grandfather hugged his little grandson tightly and said, "Don't worry, I lost myself, and I won't lose Xiaobao either."

"No, grandpa, don't throw yourself away, I have to find you." Lu Jin smiled.

The two joked a few words, and the melancholy of leaving home eased a little.

It’s the first time for little Bao’er to ride a train, and she’s still very excited when she got on the train. He heard the sound of the train rattling along the way. Every time the train whistles, it’s a long humming sound. The child is just learning how to hum. Woo hoo.

Needless to say, I learned quite alike.

But the train at this time was really too slow. Hearing the slow rattling sound, Lu Jin knew in his heart that they would have to sit for a long time by car for this long trip.Knowing that grandpa baked big pancakes on the bed last night because he wanted the door today, Lu Jin said to grandpa, "Grandpa, why don't you lie down for a while, I'll take Xiaobao to play for a while."

"Well, okay, I'll lie down for a while, and if you have anything to do, call me." Yu Wenchang was getting older, he stayed up all night, woke up so early this morning, and his energy was much weaker.They bought a sleeper bed, and there was a place to sleep, so he lay down and slept.

There was no one on the opposite bed, so Lu Jin sat on the opposite side with the baby in his arms.

When the train stopped at the second station, some people got on and some got off.

Two men came into their box, a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit and glasses, and a younger youth who came in with the man. The two seemed to be subordinates.

Seeing someone coming in, Lu Jin smiled and nodded, but Xiao Bao'er was asleep at this time, and was held in his arms. They had already returned to their own bed from someone else's bed.

When Yu Wenchang woke up after a nap, his two grandsons were on his bed, and the younger grandson was still asleep.He started talking to the man sitting across from him, and when they were asked where they were going, he said that he took his grandson to Shanghai to see a doctor.

"Oh, it just so happens that we are also going to the Shanghai stock market. We can take care of each other on the way." The man saw an old man going out with two grandchildren, and knowing that it was inconvenient for them to travel, he also explained to the secretary who was following him, what's the matter there? Help them out.

The young man nodded with a smile.

In this day and age, food was also sold on the train, but it was expensive and required a ticket. Many people were reluctant to buy it and brought their own food to eat on the train.

As soon as the meal time came, the smell of various food outside came in.

"elder brother."

"Well, my brother is here."

Just when their child woke up, Lu Jin coaxed the child and asked his grandpa to watch over the child. He went outside to fetch a pot of hot water and came back, and poured some hot water into the cup he brought. , Soak it in cold water for children to drink.

The children woke up hungry after sleeping, so they took out the things they brought from home to eat.

They brought a lot of food, including pancakes, tea egg, fermented bean curd, and pickles in small boxes. Lu Jin took out the things and placed them on the small table in the middle. Said: "We have some food here, you can take it if you want."

"Okay, eat it, we have it here too." As soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, the young man took out what they had brought. What they had here was a bag of steamed buns, pickles, and a few boiled eggs. .

Those who can bring a few eggs with them when they go out these days are considered good food.

Lu Jin took a pancake, put pickled bean curd and radish sticks in the middle, rolled up the pancake, and handed one to their grandfather first.Little Bao'er likes to eat only pancakes and nothing else, so he tore half of the pancake for the child, and he ate the remaining half with vegetables, and pushed his own pickles to the opposite person and said, "Try it!" Our pickles are made by ourselves." He knew that no one who could afford a train berth these days would be someone of low status, so he was very polite to the man opposite who looked like a leader.

"Okay, I'll try it." This time the other party didn't refuse again, and used the other end of the unbitten chopsticks to pick up some pickles and put them in their steamed buns. Other people's pickles are really delicious, not as salty as his own, and there is a scent of sesame oil in it, which is very delicious.The man couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, it's delicious."

The young people also imitated their leaders and used chopsticks to put some pickles into their steamed buns. After taking a bite, their eyes lit up, and they found that it was really good.

"This is fermented bean curd. It's also very fragrant when you rub a little on top of the steamed buns." Lu Jin usually likes to eat fermented bean curd. Whether it's sending porridge or sandwiching steamed buns, he likes to put a little bit of it. Moreover, the fermented bean curd he makes is rich in ingredients. , It is better to keep food than to sell it.

The two strangers, who have always been vegetarians, sat together for the first meal because of this trip.

By the third stop, their compartment was full.

Except for their one child, the rest are adults. Fortunately, even though their child was a little homesick, he obediently lay in his arms and did not cry.Lu Jin knew that the child was so far away from home for the first time, and that he was homesick for his brothers and sisters. He held the child in his arms and stroked the child's back.

At night, the surrounding lights were turned off, and it was dark.

"You and grandpa are sleeping below, and my brother is on top of you. Can you call grandpa or brother if you have anything to do?" Seeing that everyone else has already rested, Lu Jin was afraid that it would affect others' rest, so he coaxed the child to stay with grandpa. , he is going up too.

Little Bao'er let go of her brother's hand with some reluctance, and threw herself into grandpa's arms instead.

Yu Wenchang hugged the younger grandson, and said to the older grandson, "Go to sleep, grandpa is not sleepy after sleeping for a while, go go to sleep for a while and then change grandpa." Someone will come in and steal things. After all, there are all kinds of people on this train, and they don't know who is a good person and who is a thief.

Lu Jin knew what his grandfather meant, so he didn't refuse any more, and went to the upper bed.

It was just because he took the train for the first time, and there was someone sleeping and snoring in the same compartment, and the sound of the train echoed in his ears. He closed his eyes and lay down for a long time, feeling that he was half asleep and half awake, feeling dissociated He hurt his body, but he could really hear the sounds around him, so it was very painful for him to wake up from this sleep.

When he woke up, he found that the grandpa and little Bao'er were lying down, and the little Bao'er must have fallen asleep. Grandpa opened his eyes when he saw him move, and called him.

"Grandpa, it's me. I'll go to the bathroom and I'll be back." Waking up with a urgency to urinate, Lu Jin carefully stepped on the ladder and got out of bed to solve his personal problems, and came back after washing his face. Instead, his grandfather went to the toilet and came back.

Later, his grandfather lay down to sleep again, but he was awake and not asleep. Looking at the still hazy sky outside through the glass window, he knew that it should be around five o'clock in the morning, and most of the people around him were still asleep. , but there was also the sound of someone waking up.

***

When it was dawn outside, the voices of people around became more and more noisy, some people were talking loudly, some children were crying, all kinds of voices intertwined.

After breakfast in the morning, they could only stay in the carriage, and it was not easy to go around.The gentleman on the opposite side is sitting on the bed reading a book, while the others are talking.Lu Jin hugged their child and looked out the window.The child looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked him, "Brother, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

"There are still two days to go, it won't arrive so soon, do you want to hurry?" Lu Jin knew at a glance that their child had been sitting in the train for a long time, and wanted to get off, indeed Taking a long-distance bus is a bit of a challenge for a child who is only three years old or less than four years old. Even he wants to get out of the car and walk away.

"Yeah." Still homesick.

It was the first time for little Bao'er to go out with her elder brother and grandpa. She was homesick and missed her brothers and sisters. She was a little unhappy lying in her elder brother's arms.

Lu Jin bowed his head and kissed the child's face, and could only comfort the child.

Fortunately, their children were very well-behaved along the way, even after two days of train rides, the children were a little listless.Their grandfather's spirit was not very good either. After all, Lu Jin was younger and his recovery ability was better than his grandfather's. After a long sleep in the middle, his spirit recovered a lot.

After the people in their compartment changed two rounds and became empty again, they finally got closer and closer to their destination.

At this time, outside the platform of the Shanghai Railway Station, there was a tall and thin young man in a dark blue windbreaker, leaning against a pillar, his chin and half of his face were covered by an overly long scarf, only half of his tall figure was exposed. The bridge of the nose, and a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the direction of the train...
