Since 2011, the Beijing-Shenzhen high-speed railway has been opened to traffic, and cities such as Xinchang and Yuzhou have announced that they have entered the high-speed rail era.
During this period, Yuzhou, as one of the seven major stations of the Beijing-Shenzhen High-speed Railway, had developed transportation and had always been the big brother in the province.
Jiang Ning stepped into Xinchang High-speed Railway Station, her thoughts flying.
Unfortunately, in the following ten years, Yuzhou made almost no achievements in the field of transportation and gradually declined.
However, in this life, with the rise of Changqing Liquid Company, it became the leading enterprise in the province in less than a year. Yuzhou's fate would be different.
Jiang Ning swiped her ID card to get the ticket, while Chen Siyu and her sisters waited uneasily. They did not have ID cards and knew that they needed to check in to enter the station, so they were afraid of being abandoned later.
After Jiang Ning took the ticket, she said, "Follow me."
At the entrance, a uniformed staff member was waiting.
Jiang Ning showed her ticket, and the staff member immediately showed a standard smile: "Hello, please come with me."
They passed the ticket gate smoothly.
Chen Siyu squeezed her sisters and recalled what the elders at home had said about their experience of evading fares on trains many years ago.
The waiting hall was bustling with people, and every seat was full. During the summer vacation, the peak tourist season, the number of tourists at various stations across the country increased sharply.
Chen Siyu raised her head and paid attention to the big screen, which displayed the message that train G8972 was delayed.
Then it dawned on me: "Sister, sister, we are so lucky, the high-speed train is actually delayed!"
Chen Siqing: "What a coincidence!"
There were only ten minutes left before the train departed. Although the waiting hall was full, they didn't think it was a big deal and just stood there for a while.
As a result, Jiang Ning actually walked through the busy waiting hall and arrived at the so-called business waiting area.
The environment became quiet, with no noise outside at all. Scattered people were sitting quietly, including foreigners, as if they were in a library.
Exquisite decoration, comfortable sofas, simple and elegant wooden tables, and even a self-service area next to it, full of various snacks, juice cola, potato chips, crab roe peas...
The family conditions of the two sisters Chen Siqing are average. They have taken the high-speed rail but have never been to a place like this.
The two of them showed similar surprised faces, like cats that haven't seen the sun for a long time: "Is this the business waiting room?"
After a brief reaction, her sister Chen Siqing whispered: "Jiang Ning, did you buy a business seat?"
"Um."
"Isn't it very expensive?"
"It's half an hour's drive and it's not expensive." Jiang Ning said calmly.
Even though he said this, the twin sister still remembered that even if it was cheap, it would definitely cost a lot of money for three people together.
"Jiang Ning, we will compensate you!" Chen Siyu said solemnly.
Chen Siqing nodded seriously on the side.
Jiang Ning smiled.
Every time he goes to a place, Jiang Ning's consciousness will scan the surrounding situation in advance. Although there is unlikely to be anything that threatens his life in real life, this kind of vigilance is an instinct developed over countless years.
In the business waiting room, at the southwest corner, Lin Zida, Zhuang Jianhui, and Yuan Lin were gathering at the table, playing poker as if no one else was around.
When someone came through the door, Lin Zida took a look, recognized Jiang Ning, and saw the identical twins next to him, and felt numb inside.
He admitted that Jiang Ning was quite capable, but why were the girls around him different every time he saw him?
Lin Zida's family background is very powerful, but he really doesn't know twins like Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing.
The boy next to him was Yuan Lin, who was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He was a native of Shencheng. After discovering Jiang Ning, he thought about it for several seconds before he remembered that he was a boy from a Yuzhou barbecue stall.
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Fat Lin, who is next to him?"
"A girl from Class 8 in our school."
"Are they traveling together?" Yuan Lin couldn't believe it. Even though he was well-informed, he had never seen such clever twins.
Lin Zida: "Isn't this obvious?"
Yuan Lin was secretly envious. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, who among us has not imagined being surrounded by twins?
"If nothing else, the girls in Yuzhou are indeed beautiful." Yuan Lin commented.
Lin Zida stayed in Yuzhou for a year and had the right to speak. He said: "Yuzhou is located on the dividing line between the north and the south. Girls have both the gentle and beautiful appearance of southern women and the boldness of northern women."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Jianhui twitched his lips. He thought of Pang Jiao who blocked the road in Class 8 to express his love, and wanted to express his objection.
I was afraid of being laughed at, so I had to hold it in.
Yuan Lin nodded: "I just went to Li Shi last time, and I didn't drink from her!"
Several people got excited about chatting, and the speed of playing cards slowed down a lot.
…
Sister Chen Siyu took a bunch of snacks, helped Jiang Ning unscrew the orange juice, and then stuck them to her side.
Jiang Ning hadn't even taken two bites of crab roe and peas when she saw a dark figure approaching.
Jiang Ning glanced at her, and saw that her dark skin color was not the black of Chinese people, but pure black.
His bone age is 40, but because of his bald head, he looks like he is 50 years old, with a full beard on his chin.
With a mature expression on his face, he ignored Jiang Ning, stared at Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing on both sides, and called excitedly:
"Oh my god!"
Followed by a very strange sentence: "You are the most beautiful women I have ever seen!"
The twins were approached by foreigners for the first time. They are young people of the new era. They are not like many people of the generation in the 1970s and 1980s who have an almost perverted admiration for foreigners.
Dark-skinned people in front of them only make them feel intimidated.
The bald and dark-skinned man did not give up the conversation because of the twins' reluctance. He continued to introduce in English:
"I am an English teacher(I am an English teacher)."
“Nice to meet you all(Nice to meet you all).”
His eloquent introduction attracted many passengers in the waiting hall to look at him.
When Lin Zida saw this, he cursed angrily: "What the hell is he doing!"
The black guy was forty or fifty years old, and he ended up chatting with a girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old. It was outrageous to everyone!
Zhuang Jianhui was also a young man and could not bear to see such a scene, and his face was equally unhappy.
On the contrary, Yuan Lin said cheerfully: "Why don't we take a bet on whether they will give us their contact information?"
Lin Zida: "What a bet, I'll just tell him to get out."
Yuan Lin shook his head and said calmly: "I know you are angry, but the current situation is cruel, and many girls will use this experience as bragging rights."
Lin Zida said coldly: "Have you been kneeling for a long time?"
Zhuang Jianhui took out two red banknotes: "Xiao Pang and I, we bet that we won't give you our contact information."
Yuan Lin said: "Just watch."
The dark-skinned foreign teacher was still making introductions and trying to act like a gentleman, but the faces of Chen Siyu and the sisters were ugly. They smelled that unique smell.
Jiang Ning leaned on the sofa. No matter what, he took the twins out and they were considered his companions. In the end, he was ignored?
He put his hands on the thin shoulders of the two girls, and the girls trembled.
He smiled and said: "Let you see what it means to follow the rules."
Jiang Ning's smile faded and she uttered one word: "Get lost."
The dark-skinned foreign teacher's voice stopped suddenly. His body turned in an uncontrollable direction, and he suddenly knelt down. He pressed his hands forward and rolled over.
Then, like a basketball, it rolled out of the business waiting room alive.
A meaningless scream came from his mouth.
The bizarre movements attracted the attention of all passengers in the waiting hall.
Lin Zida was stunned and stammered: "Ah, ha, what is going on?"
The skin on Yuan Lin's face, who was originally calm, became stiff: "Are you kidding me?"
Zhuang Jianhui was puzzled. His behavior was too abnormal. What is the operation of rolling on the spot:
"Are you sick?"
Lin Zida couldn't figure it out. He was an optimist. He didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he whistled to express his joy, then grabbed two bills and gave them to Zhuang Jianhui.
"Yuan Lin, thank you!" Zhuang Jianhui said.
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly and said he lost the money. Then he said seriously: "It was worth it."
…
The staff in the business waiting room quickly chased him out.
Jiang Ning randomly cast a spell and killed the person in about half a month.
At this moment, another young and beautiful staff member came over and told them, "Hello, you can check the tickets now, please follow me."
After calling Jiang Ning, she called Lin Zida and others.
When checking in, the twins were surprised again. There was obviously a long queue at the ticket gate.
The staff member led them directly through the side door of the ticket gate, completely skipping the process of queuing for tickets.
Lin Zida and others next to him were used to it.
Train G8972 is like a long queue, lying quietly.
They entered Car No. 1 and looked around. The car was very spacious, completely different from the crowded second-class seats in the past.
Even the seats were similar to the astronauts' space capsules on TV, and the sisters' eyes widened.
"one two three……"
They counted and found that there were only 8 seats in the entire carriage.
"Sister, sister, you are so advanced!" Chen Siyu pulled her sister's soft arm.
Compared to her sister's excitement, Chen Siqing, as her elder sister, was much more reserved. She pretended that it was not her first time and said calmly:
"Of course, the price of a business seat is three times that of a regular ticket!"
Chen Siyu touched the space capsule-like seat, "Sister, is business class faster than second class?"
Chen Siqing thought for two seconds and said uncertainly: "The seats are streamlined and have better wind resistance. Logically speaking..."
Jiang Ning found it embarrassing and said, "Stop discussing it."
The two sisters immediately expressed their agreement.
After sitting down, Chen Siqing secretly searched Baidu, and it suddenly became clear that the second-class seats and business seats were in the same car.
…
Lin Zida was in a business class seat and was in the same carriage as Jiang Ning. He chatted for a few words.
"What happened to the man who chatted with you before?" Lin Zida said with confusion in his words.
"It's a sudden illness." Jiang Ning said.
Lin Zida can only understand it as a coincidence. The modern education he received from childhood made him a firm materialist.
People like Ding Shuyan who don't follow the rules are just aliens after all.
"Are you going back to Yuzhou?" Lin Zida asked.
Jiang Ning nodded.
"I won't be going back for the time being. I'm going to Shanghai. If I have time, I'll come and play. I'll arrange food and accommodation." Lin Zida said enthusiastically.
He and Jiang Ning had a good chat, and the other party was very skilled, and he was considered a very capable friend. His family had a villa in Shanghai, so there was no problem in settling his friends there.
After chatting for a few words, Jiang Ning suddenly asked: "Where is your cousin?"
Lin Zida was startled, then looked at Jiang Ning warily, then glanced at the twins, his expression gradually becoming suspicious.
How outstanding is his cousin Ding Shuyan's appearance? Jianhui has been interested in her since he was a child, but it's a pity that Ding Shuyan is not cold at all.
Before, Yuan Lin came to Yuzhou with the idea of meeting Ding Shuyan.
Is Jiang Ning interested in her?
Shouldn't it? Lin Zida couldn't be sure. Apart from anything else, the girl next to Jiang Ning at the barbecue stall that day definitely looked as good as Ding Shuyan.
Many thoughts went through his mind, and Lin Zida said: "Shu Yan went to Qian Province and is taking the paragliding license test. Do you have anything to do with her?"
Jiang Ning said: "Oh, it's okay. I gave her CF mobile game gold coins, but she didn't give them to me."
Lin Zida's eyelids twitched, what the hell, that's it?
"Stop playing CF. It's a rubbish game. Don't you have a computer? Just play Call of Duty 10. It's quite fun." When it comes to games, Lin Zida, as a senior player, couldn't help but recommend it to him.
He did not return to his seat, but simply stood on the side and chatted with Jiang Ning about his gaming experience.
The staff on the train handed out mineral water and snacks. The sisters thought they were charged items, so they whispered and planned to search on Baidu first.
After hearing this, Lin Zida reminded: "You can eat for free in the business class, don't worry."
"Also, the seat can be adjusted. There are buttons on the right hand side. You can try it." He was cheerful and calm, not condescending at all.
…
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen... Passengers who get off at Yuzhou Station, please prepare to get off in advance."
The train travels 27 minutes from Xinchang to Yuzhou.
After getting off the bus, I saw my familiar hometown.
"Sister, we're home!" Chen Siyu said in a cheerful tone.
"Yes, I'm back."
Even though it was only a few hours, the experience Jiang Ning brought to the Chen Siyu sisters today will probably be unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
From the beginning, when the car is heading in an unknown direction, to the worry, to the worry in the wilderness, and then to the dilapidated old villages, snack streets, high-speed rail stations, business offices in unfamiliar cities...
It was like having a dream and just being woken up now.
The experiences along the way are forever engraved in their hearts.
"Let's go, get out of the station, and then go home." Jiang Ning took steps.
The twin sisters quickly caught up and grabbed Jiang Ning's arms, one from the left and the other from the right.
They used to not resist Jiang Ning mentally, but now they have experienced a wonderful journey together and have become closer.
To say that hugging each other is a bit too much, but Jiang Ning's current situation is only slightly worse.
At the exit of the station, Jiang Ning took a taxi and took the two of them home.
It's approaching nine o'clock.
Summer nights are very lively. There are many snack stalls parked at the entrance of the community, and there are two tricycles selling watermelons.
Looking from here, every household in the residential building has bright lights.
Dim yellow street lights tried their best to illuminate the road.
Under the light, Jiang Ning took out two bracelets and handed them to the twins: "I bought them from Xinchang City Pedestrian Street, keep them."
Chen Siyu lowered his head and saw a very ordinary bracelet, unremarkable, completely different from the clouds and koi jade pendants Jiang Ning gave them.
But, they like it very much.
Jiang Ning was smiling all the time. Two strings of ordinary-looking bracelets were engraved with body protection formations.
There was no other way. After they boldly got into the car, Jiang Ning knew that it was time to protect their safety.
Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing put on the bracelets in front of Jiang Ning and waved them in front of him. The girl's beautiful wrists were slender and delicate, which was touching.
They stood at the gate of the community for a while, and finally said together: "Jiang Ning, would you like to sit at my house? My parents have wanted to meet you for a long time."
Jiang Ning refused: "Next time."
My sister Chen Siqing analyzed the reason, thought for a while, and then said: "We will call you next time when your parents are not at home?"
