It is now the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the snow on the road has basically melted. In the morning, the dirt road was frozen and hard, making it easier to go out.

Li Wen didn't stay much in the town or county because he had already sat with his old friends during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Feng was the only good friend left in Weihe County, and they both got together when Li Wen went to visit relatives at his aunt's house during the Chinese New Year.

Zheng Kai's family has a rich background. After completing his qualifications in Weihe County, his family has arranged for him to go to Chang'an to work as a businessman.

During the Chinese New Year, Li Wen even made a special trip to find Chen Jing's cousin Chen Shuyao.

Asking Chen Shuyao to send a letter to Chen Jing in Xiangjiang through his connections was an end to the relationship between the two.

When Chen Shuyao heard about the relationship between the two, she was surprised at first, then felt regretful for a while, and finally said tactfully that the two of them were indeed inappropriate.

He also persuaded Li Wen that the two of them were not from the same world at all, and told Li Wen the situation of Chen Jing's family.

Chen Jing grew up with a golden key in her mouth. She is the daughter of a wealthy family. Her grandfather was a big capitalist in the Republic of China, and her family has abundant capital.

Due to policy reasons, Chen Jing's grandfather's family moved to Xiangjiang, and he certainly did not want Chen Jing to marry into a poor mainland.

Li Wen smiled and said, "Don't bully the young man into being poor." It was useless to tell Chen Shuyao.

After the two chatted for a while, Li Wen learned that Chen Shuyao had graduated from college this year and was assigned to work in a government agency in Chang'an Province, and he also sent his blessings.

We rode all the way to Hanyang City, the superior city of Weihe County, where Li Wen was going to take a train to the Magic City.

This time Li Wen did not enter the small world, but planned to take the train honestly. He wanted to enjoy the scenery in the south.

"Comrade!"

In the alley at the entrance of the train station, Li Wen waved to a man carrying a leather bag.

Li Wen often rides the train in the past two years, and he also knows about these railway scalpers. So the first thing Li Wen does when he comes to the station is not to enter the station, but to wander outside to look for scalpers.

These scalpers are all powerful masters, and most of them are family members or relatives and friends of railway employees.

"Want a ticket?"

The young man walked over swaggeringly and said with a smile.

"Comrade, do you have a sleeper ticket to go to Shanghai?" Li Wen asked in a low voice.

"You are so lucky. I happen to have a soft sleeper ticket to Jinling in my hand. If you want it, it costs 80 yuan." The man said with a smile.

"Comrade, this is too expensive for you!" Li Wen was obviously stunned when he heard the price, and replied with a wry smile.

"It seems you don't know the market price! The normal price for a hard sleeper ticket from Chang'an to Shanghai is 41.2, let alone a soft sleeper ticket. ωωw..net

Soft sleepers are usually reserved for leaders and are rarely used outside. The normal fare is more than 60, so I charge you 100, which is really not much." The man explained with a wry smile.

Afraid that Li Wen wouldn't believe it, the man took out the soft sleeper ticket. Li Wen took a look and saw that the price on it was indeed ridiculously high, more than 67 yuan.

"It seems that there was a class in those days! This high-end soft sleeper can only be enjoyed by leaders." Li Wen said with emotion.

"Comrade, you don't dare to say such nonsense." The man's face changed slightly after hearing Li Wen's words.

"Comrade, give me ninety yuan! You see there is only one day left, so you can earn more than twenty yuan." Li Wen began to bargain.

"If you add more, it won't make any money. Do you think I'm the only one making it?" When the young man heard that Li Wen wanted to buy it, he was happy at first, and then smiled bitterly.

Although Li Wen was not short of money, he enjoyed the process of haggling. The two of them went back and forth for a while, and finally the deal was completed for 95 yuan.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, after the transaction was completed, Li Wen filled his backpack with food and then entered the train station with the card.

Although Xianyang City is a prefecture-level city, its train station is a small station. The reason is that Hanyang City is too close to Chang'an City, less than 30 kilometers away, so it makes no sense to build a large station.

When he came to the information desk, Li Wen asked about the arrival time of the train. The ticket was from Chang'an, and Li Wen got on the train at the second station, Hanyang Station.

After getting the answer, Li Wen sat in the waiting hall and waited for more than an hour. With the sound of the whistle, the train slowly drove into Hanyang Station and stopped.

"Attention all passengers, passengers going to Jinling, please hurry up and get on the bus." The loudspeaker in the station shouted.

After hearing this, Li Wen quickly checked in and got on the train with his ticket. The train stopped at these small stations for a short time, and if he arrived late, he would not be able to get on.

After checking the tickets, Li Wen carried his bag and started looking for the soft sleeper compartment. When he found it, he started knocking on the door.

"Hey! This premium soft sleeper is different from the ordinary hard sleeper. It has an independent partition door. Li Wen sighed with emotion.

"Dong dong dong!" Li Wen knocked on the compartment door.

"Who are you?" The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man. Seeing that Li Wen was so young and carrying a bag, he asked suspiciously, not looking like a passenger.

"Hello, comrade, I am also a passenger in this compartment!" Li Wen said and showed the ticket in his hand to the middle-aged man.

"Oh! Then please come in, please come in." The middle-aged man saw Li Wen's ticket and hurriedly stepped aside.

"Hello, little comrade." A middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties was still sitting on the bed. He saw Li Wen and said hello with a smile.

"You are the leader! Hello, leader!" Li Wen came to know him well. He smiled and took out the Golden Monkey cigarette and spread it around the two of them.

"Thank you for the cigarette, Comrade Xiao Li." He lit the cigarette as if he were a leader, and several people started chatting.

Through chatting, Li Wen learned the identities of these two people. They were the director and the director of the sales department of Chang'an Textile Factory No. 1. They were going on a business trip to Magic City this time.

The two of them were also greatly surprised by the identity of Li Wen's author, because in their minds, authors are generally middle-aged and elderly people.

However, after being surprised, the two people's attitude towards Li Wen also changed from junior to equal treatment.

The premium soft sleeper is really high-end. There are only four beds in one compartment, and the bed is much larger than that of the hard sleeper. It is very spacious for people to sleep on.

The upper and lower bunks as well as the upper bunk are very high from the roof of the car, so it is not depressing at all when people live there.

This train trip to Jinling takes more than 40 hours, almost two days, and the experience of sleeping in a soft sleeper must be very good.

There were relatively few people on the train in Qin Province, but as soon as it arrived in Central Plains Province, the train was suddenly full, and Li Wen had to sigh that there were so many people in Central Plains.

The last passenger in the box also got on the bus from Central Plains Province. He was also a factory director and was going to Shanghai on a business trip.

Li Wen ate the cakes and snacks he brought in the morning and evening, and the lunch box on the train for lunch.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jinling had arrived. However, Li Wen did not get off the bus. He was going to pay for the ticket and go to Magic City. Anyway, the end of the train was Magic City.

For 6.2 yuan, Li Wen asked the conductor to buy a replacement ticket from Jinling to Shanghai. Li Wen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Tickets are really not cheap these days.
