The face of the little girl opposite was full of wariness. Chi Chunhua secretly laughed in her heart, remembering that when she was as old as this little girl, she was so nervous when riding the train. She couldn't help but soften her voice and asked kindly: "You are so

What are you going to do?"

"go to school."

"School starts early at this time." As soon as Chi Chunhua finished speaking, he immediately understood, "Oh, you are going to college, right?"

Shi Ke nodded, "Well, go to college."

"College students!" Chi Chunhua exclaimed.

At this time, high school students could be considered intellectuals, and college students were even rarer. People immediately looked at Shi Ke with envious eyes.

Shi Ke was a little embarrassed and lowered his head slightly.

Chi Chunhua took out the snacks he brought and pushed them in front of Shi Ke, "Try the local specialties from my aunt's house." After saying that, he then asked: "The one who gave it to you just now was your mother, why didn't she

Take you to school?"

"Mom is busy, and I have younger brothers and sisters to take care of at home."

"Where are you going to school?"

"Shandong."

"It's so far away, can your mother rest assured?"

Shi Ke looked up at the people around him and thought of an excuse, "My brother will pick me up at the station when I get off the bus later."

"Do you have a brother?"

"Yes." Shi Ke nodded and smiled, and naturally placed the character he made up on Zhang Jun, "My brother is a soldier there. I have written a letter to him a long time ago and asked him to wait for me at the station in advance.

.”

"You have quite a lot of brothers and sisters." Someone next to me answered.

Shi Ke said seriously: "That's it."

This sentence is not a lie. There are four siblings in my family, which is really a lot in the family home. I remember when my father was alive, the neighbor joked with him, saying that no matter what the family raised, it was a small group.

Raise a small flock of chickens and a small flock of ducks, and even have many children.

Thinking of raising ducks, Shi Ke also remembered the scene when his father took the four siblings to the ditch to dig for earthworms. His father didn't know who he heard from who said that raising earthworms could be sold for money, so he took the four siblings with him during the break.

It feels so good to go digging alone. Under the shade of the clear water, carrying a small bucket and a iron shovel, the family is like outing. They play for several hours. She likes to wade in the water channel the most.

, it was ice cold and I couldn’t feel the summer heat at all. The only bad thing was that my father didn’t let me stay in the ditch for too long.

The dug earthworms were raised in a square pit under the earth cliff, covered with wheat straw. As a result, no one collected them when they were grown, and they were eventually fed to the ducks.

Thinking of his father, Shi Ke's eyes dimmed, he lowered his eyes and grabbed the kettle with both hands and remained silent.

Why is the little girl opposite so annoying? Not only is she beautiful, but she is also good at studying, especially her long eyelashes half-covering her big bright eyes. How come she is so lovable to such a child?

It would be great if it was his own daughter. Chi Chunhua asked with a smile: "Why is it that your mother gave it to you herself, and why didn't your father come with you?"

Shi Ke was startled. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Chi Chunhua quickly. He hesitated for a moment, "Well... well... my father is very busy. He often goes on business trips and doesn't come back in time."

Shi Keduo hopes that her father is not dead and that like Uncle Zhang, he often stays on duty and travels.

Shi Ke often has a dream in which her father is not dead. He is soaked in formalin water. Although his skin has been soaked blue and white, he is still alive, waiting for her to save him.

It has been so long that even though Shi Ke tried his best to remember his father's appearance, as time went by, the stern and kind father became more and more blurred in his memory. Sometimes, Shi Ke

I can close my eyes and think hard, but my father's appearance is still not clear. Only by turning over the photo can the father in my memory emerge clearly in my mind.

Chi Chunhua cracked the melon seeds and said in an envious tone: "It's good to be busy. You can make money when you are busy. Where is your mother? Does she go to work or just take care of you at home?"

Shi Ke smiled at Chi Chunhua and said, "Mom also works in the same unit as dad."

"Hey, dual-career!" Chi Chunhua's teeth turned sore with envy.

In these days, having one person in the family who works for the public servant is enough to make you envious. It is also a dual-income family. As the saying goes, it is called envy, jealousy, and hate!

I really hate that my family does not have dual incomes.

The people next to me said something to each other, Shi Ke just said it conveniently, and he would only answer a few half-truths and half-false sentences. Sometimes he would not answer, but just pursed his lips and smiled, but this was fine, if it fell into the eyes of others.

, I think she acquiesced.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark. Everyone had a quick bite and started to rest.

Shi Ke was brainwashed by Wang Ying. He was afraid that a thief would come to his door. He kept staring and persisted. Finally, at midnight, he was still no longer able to defeat the Sleepy God. He lay down on the small table and fell asleep, but he didn't sleep well and was a little sleepy.

I woke up when there was any movement, and just like that, I finally managed to hold on until dawn.

Zhengzhou Railway Station is one of the eight comprehensive transportation hubs in China identified by the Ministry of Railways of the People's Republic of China. It is an important part of the Zhengzhou Railway Hub and a comprehensive transportation hub integrating passenger and freight services.

Shi Ke transferred trains here. At 12:30 noon, the train arrived at Zhengzhou Station. Shi Ke had a schoolbag slung over his left shoulder, a water bottle slung over his right shoulder, and a large baggage in each hand, ready to get off.

Chi Chunhua was very concerned about this little girl. Seeing that she was struggling to carry her luggage, she stood up from her seat and said with concern: "Little sister, can you carry it? How about I help you carry it?"

"

Shi Ke knew that she was kind-hearted, but she still refused. She smiled gratefully at Chi Chunhua and said, "Thank you, I can carry it." After saying that, in order to prove that she could indeed carry it, she even lifted the bag up.

Ti, he got off the train with great pride.

Unexpectedly, when I first got off the bus, I was still full of energy and didn't feel how heavy the luggage was. As a result, it became heavier and heavier as I walked. It was just difficult to go down the long underground passage, and then I became worried about the high stairs.

.

Mom said she went to ask the People's Liberation Army for help if she couldn't carry it anymore, but Shi Ke didn't want to trouble others, so he climbed a few steps to rest. After leaving the station, he hurriedly found the ticket office, bought a ticket for the nearest train to Jinan, and waited in the waiting room.

He sat on the wooden chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

It was lunch time, Shi Ke took out an apple from his schoolbag, held it in his hand and gnawed on it, looking around at the surroundings with his eyes.

It is indeed a famous big station in the country, but my small station cannot compare with it. If we compare them side by side, there is only the difference between a high-rise building and a small bungalow.

This is the first time Shi Ke has seen such a big waiting room. To be honest, this waiting room has exceeded her imagination. It is very big, bigger than the school playground. There are many seats in rows, and you can't see the other side from one end.

, and there were many stalls next to the waiting room, selling all kinds of food, with signs posted on them, including braised pancakes, braised noodles, and many, many more, which she had never heard of or eaten before.

Shi Ke swallowed his saliva at the aroma, gnawed the apple clean in two mouthfuls, and took out the pancake baked by his mother from his schoolbag.

Shi Ke has money in her pocket, but she cannot spend it carelessly. She may have to stay in school for at least four months this time. Who knows what situation she will encounter. What if she runs out of money?

I also have cakes and eggs. Shi Ke comforted himself and took out Wang Yinglao's cakes from his schoolbag.

Wang Ying baked two kinds of cakes, one with chopped green onions and eggs, and one with sugar filling. I loved eating both kinds of cakes. When they were freshly baked, they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, especially the sugar one, which was delicious after one bite.

Eat sugar water.

There are many people in the family, so there is basically no leftover food, especially pancakes, which have no residue at all. Shi Ke has not eaten the leftover pancakes yet, and he did not expect the difference in taste between leftover pancakes and freshly baked pancakes.

It was too big and hard, and I still choked when I swallowed it. Shi Ke glanced at the sign of spicy soup hanging next to it, but she was not willing to buy a bowl. She shook the kettle and found that the water was gone, and stood up.

Looking around, he saw someone receiving hot water not far away. Shi Ke took a few steps with the kettle, but he was not worried about his luggage. After thinking about it, he still held a big bag in one hand and went to get a kettle of water.

.

After fetching water, Shi Kexue became smarter and found a seat nearby to sit down. There were still four or five hours until she got on the bus. She couldn't carry a big bag and run here again and again. How stupid.

Shi Ke was very nervous when he was catching the bus in the afternoon. Everyone was in a hurry. Even the passengers who were not running were walking quickly. This gave people the illusion that it would be too late if they didn't walk quickly.

Shi Ke held the two big bundles tightly in his hands, holding in his breath to try not to fall behind. When she climbed up the stairs and stood on the platform, her legs were weak. Fortunately, the big bundles containing the bedding were not afraid of being pressed down. She

I sat down until Baofeng panted for a long time before he recovered.

The feeling of getting on this bus is different from the previous one, because the destination is getting closer and closer, and I am getting more and more excited.

It had been more than thirty hours since he left home, and Shi Ke had already eaten all the food in his schoolbag except eggs. The advantage of this was that the backpack was not too heavy, which reduced a lot of burden.

At five o'clock in the morning, the train entered Jinan Station, which is also one of the country's important transportation hubs. Even though it was early in the morning, there was still an endless stream of passengers getting on and off here.

After sitting in the car for too long, Shi Ke felt as if she was still sitting in the car, even though her feet were on the ground. She didn't have to worry about not being able to catch the car now. She walked out of the platform slowly, facing the horizon.

That touch of morning glow made me take a long breath.

The fresh air entered the spleen and lungs, and within a few breaths, Shi Ke's mind completely sobered up.

The weather in early autumn was not too cold yet. Shi Ke found the bus stop and saw that the sign clearly stated that the first bus started operating at 6:30. She looked at the electronic watch on her wrist and knew that it was still early, but she finally found the bus stop.
Chapter completed!
