Chapter 050 Rush to the provincial capital
Liu Xinyu was sitting on a bench in the waiting room of the county railway station, holding a book in her hand and reading quietly.
Zhang Hongyun carefully took two tea eggs from her bag and placed them on the small table, "Sister Xinyu, are you hungry? Let's have some tea eggs."
"I'm really in a hurry, so I can only eat an egg to fill my stomach. There is a dining car on the train. Let's buy some when we get on the train." Zhang Daniu came to the two of them carrying a half-cup of boiling water from nowhere.
Place the teapot on the empty seat next to Liu Xinyu.
The attentiveness of the Zhang family's father and daughter did not make Liu Xinyu happy. She closed the book with a sigh, took the egg from Zhang Hongyun's hand, thought for a while, looked at Zhang Daniu and asked: "Uncle Zhang, the letter sent back by Brother Zhang
Have you brought them all?”
"Bring it, bring it. From the time he came to the city to now, six years and two months ago, one letter every month, and Hong Liang's letters to friends and teachers, a total of 107 letters, all in this bag
Inside." Zhang Daniu pointed to the large earth-grey bag at Liu Xinyu's feet.
Liu Xinyu glanced at the bag at her feet and nodded silently.
The radio began to announce that the train was about to enter the station. Liu Xinyu quickly wiped out the eggs in her hands, picked up her bag, and lined up with Zhang Daniu and Zhang Hongyun to check in and enter the station.
The destination of the train for the three of them was of course a machinery factory located in the southern suburbs of the provincial capital.
Last night, with the coordination of Party Secretary Zhang and others, the relationship between the Zhang and Liu families did not break down in the end.
Under the auspices of Party Secretary Zhang, the two families sat down and discussed, and decided that Zhang Daniu would take Liu Xinyu into the city in order to clear away the unfounded charges that had been placed on Zhang Hongliang.
Since we want to clear Zhang Hongliang's charges, we certainly can't fight empty-handed, let alone fight an unprepared battle.
Party Secretary Zhang personally wrote a letter to testify for Zhang Hongliang. Not only was it stamped with the official seal of the brigade headquarters, but after Party Secretary Zhang's name, there were also the signatures and fingerprints of the brigade team leader, the production team leader, and the villagers. The two pieces of paper were densely packed.
I also brought all the letters I could find written by Zhang Hongliang, including those written by Zhang Hongliang to his family, and some written by Zhang Hongliang to his friends, classmates, and teachers.
Letters written home are easy to find, and Zhang Daniu has carefully placed each letter in a box for storage!
It took some effort to collect letters to friends, classmates and teachers, especially teachers. It was the summer vacation and it was really not easy to find teachers.
Nowadays, you have to write a letter of introduction when you go out. As a result, by the time the three of them arrived at the county train station, the sun was already setting.
The commotion yesterday was so embarrassing. If Zhang Daniu hadn't intervened and Zhang Daniu had pleaded in every possible way, not to mention Liu Xinyu and Chen Zhaodi would no longer have anything to do with the Zhang family, let alone rush to the provincial capital with Zhang Daniu.
Of course Wu Qiaozhen was firmly against it. In her heart, Liu Xinyu was still the one who defeated Zhang Hongliang.
In the final analysis, Liu Xinyu's heart is not ruthless or hard enough. Of course, she also has her own considerations.
First, she wanted to go to the provincial capital to see the big cities of this era. Second, she wanted to see if there were any better business opportunities that could be grasped in this era. Third, of course, she couldn't let Wu Qiaozhen impose those "stars" on her head.
"Become reality.
As for the engagement, let's wait until Zhang Hongliang's matter calms down.
Zhang Hongyun only accompanied Liu Xinyu to keep her company.
Wuxian is a small county, and the trains that stop are not only passing trains, but also all slow trains, and you can't buy seats.
In this era, not only were there fewer trains, but the speed was also slow. The speed was about 80 kilometers per hour, usually only 50 to 60 kilometers. Such slow trains had to stop at both major and small stations.
It is only over 200 kilometers from the county seat to the provincial capital, but it takes six hours to walk.
If it's more than 200 kilometers by high-speed rail, it will only take more than an hour.
It's a pity that there is no high-speed rail in this era, only green trains that stop at "Kangdang" and "Kangdang" stations at both big and small stations.
I really miss the clean and fast high-speed rail!
There were no seats, so the three of us had to find a relatively spacious place to stay.
Of course Liu Xinyu didn't want to stand like this for six hours, so of course she had to find a way.
Fortunately, the car they were in was a female conductor, and not long after the car started, Liu Xinyu struck up a conversation with her.
Soon the three of them had a place where they could take turns sitting and resting.
It had been a full day since Zhang Hongliang was taken away by Director Wang. Zhang Daniu was so anxious that he couldn't sit down, but Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongyun were given an advantage.
The railway station of the provincial capital is in the south of the city, on the southern outskirts of Zhang Hongliang's factory. It is convenient to transfer to the bus after getting off the train, but the time when the train arrives in the provincial capital is a bit unsuitable.
When we left the train station, it was around two o'clock in the morning.
I looked up at the sky, it was dark and I didn't know if it was going to rain.
Zhang Hongyun was pulled off the train by Liu Xinyu in a daze, and was led out of the train station by Liu Xinyu in a daze.
A gust of hot and humid summer wind blew by, which made her wake up a little. She looked around curiously and saw that there was a big gap between the provincial capital and the provincial capital she had imagined.
The train station square was brightly lit, but it was too quiet and not at all as lively as a provincial capital should be.
The quiet and unfamiliar environment made her a little frightened, and she couldn't help but cling to Liu Xinyu. Looking at Zhang Daniu, whose eyes were also darkened, she asked timidly: "Dad, where should we go next?"
"I asked the conductor just now, and she said that the train station is in the south of the city, and Brother Zhang's factory is in the southern suburbs. She said that there are direct buses from the train station to that factory, but the buses are only available during the day. It's still too early, so why not
Go to the waiting room and see if you can find a seat to rest first." From Zhang Daniu's look, Liu Xinyu knew without guessing that he was also confused, so he suggested.
Not many people traveled in this era, and they had formal letters of introduction. Although they had already got off the train, after some kind words and begging, they were not stopped outside. The three of them just leaned on the backs of their chairs and took a nap.
Just after five o'clock, Zhang Daniu shook Zhang Hongyun awake. She vaguely heard the voices of the Zhang family and her daughter. Liu Xinyu wanted to squint for a while longer, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
He opened his eyes and stood up, stretched his waist, moved his hands and feet, and took Zhang Hongyun to the bathroom to rinse his mouth and face.
The three of them walked out of the waiting room, asked the man on duty for directions, and soon found the bus stop.
It's a pity that the bus didn't arrive so early. Liu Xinyu pointed to the stop sign, "We came too early. The first bus to the machinery factory only leaves at 7:30, and there's still about an hour left. Otherwise, let's go there first.
Want something to eat? My treat!"
After getting on the train yesterday, I planned to go to the dining car to eat something. After asking the conductor, I found out that the food in the dining car was not only expensive but also tasted bad, so I didn't go. By now, I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back!
Although the Zhang family repeatedly stated that all expenses for this trip to the provincial capital would be covered by the Zhang family, Liu Xinyu still took out all her money.
Chen Zhaodi also gave all the money from selling wool to Liu Xinyu, a total of forty-five yuan!
That's right, Chen Zhaodi ignored Liu Xinyu's objections and sold the wool to others at a price of fifteen yuan per catty.
Liu Xinyu didn't want to accept the money at first, but Chen Zhaodi once said a good saying: A poor family has a rich life, and when you go out, you should be prepared for trouble.
Zhang Daniu was worried about Zhang Hongliang. If he was the only one here, he might get off the train and walk straight to the machinery factory. However, there were two little girls with him. They were sleepy and hungry at the moment, and he also
I can only wait patiently for the bus to arrive.
If you want to have breakfast, of course you won’t let Liu Xinyu treat you.
With a bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick and a big meat bun, Liu Xinyu felt like she was finally alive again!
