The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month coincides with the Spring Festival.
In the square in front of the train station, people were coming and going, and the loudspeakers in the distance repeatedly shouted about dumplings, ramen and other breakfast items, trying to attract passengers to stop here.
As a "city brought by trains", Yuzhou City has a well-developed transportation hub. Although Jiang Ning's hometown is in Guyang County, which is just a small county town, this small county town has a railway station. Guyang Railway Station opened in 1912
It was established and has a history of more than 100 years.
Jiang Ning asked Shao Shuangshuang to buy tickets in advance and planned to take the train back to the county seat, and then transfer from the county seat back to his hometown town.
"Tongtong, Chuchu, I'm leaving." Jiang Ning had a backpack on her shoulder and a train ticket in her hand.
Well, now you still need a paper ticket to take the train.
Xue Chuchu looked at Jiang Ning, and she showed a slight smile: "Well, pay attention to safety."
As for the short Tongtong beside her, she lowered her little head and stared at the small white shoes on her feet. These were the shoes given to her by Jiang Ning.
She didn't say a word, as if she was protesting silently.
Jiang Ning reached out and touched her little head. Her hair was smooth and felt quite good: "Okay, see you in two days."
After saying that, Jiang Ning no longer lingered, he turned and walked towards the crowded entrance of the station.
Soon, the distance between them gradually became blocked by other passengers passing by, obstructing their view.
Tongtong raised her little face, aggrieved, her eyes slightly red, and complained: "Don't take me home!"
The tone of this sentence obviously lost its usual crispness, and instead had a sandy sound. Xue Chuchu couldn't help but stare when he heard the words.
Tongtong lowered her face again and looked at her white shoes.
Xue Chuchu, who was originally emotionally affected by separation, suddenly wanted to laugh, but there was an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
Tongtong attaches too much importance to Jiang Ning...he is too important.
"What's wrong with Tongtong?" Xue Chuchu asked.
Tongtong didn't want her good friends to discover her embarrassment, so she made an excuse: "There were too many people just now, and my new white shoes were stepped on."
Xue Chuchu looked at her white shoes, they were clean.
However, as Tongtong's military advisor, she still gave advice: "Who stepped on it? You can catch up later and step back secretly."
"It's too bad. I was careless~" Master Tongtong had a lot.
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips, her face suddenly became sweet, and she flashed the car key in her hand. This was the key to Jiang Ning's baby battery car, and Chu Chu got it for the first time.
"Let's take you for a ride." Xue Chuchu was like a close sister.
…
Jiang Ning passed through the security gate and arrived at the waiting hall on the second floor. The spacious hall was already full of seats. Many passengers used their suitcases as stools and sat on them to wait.
Jiang Ning looked at the ticket inspection information displayed on the big screen. The train to Guyang County had begun to check tickets, and the heavy queue was surging forward.
Jiang Ning has not been home for a long time. As a left-behind child, the concept of home for him is not deep, but seems vague.
After years pass by, all that is left in my mind is the poverty and loneliness of my youth, which evolved into pity.
However, everything about our hometown is ultimately engraved in the hearts of Chinese people.
"It's time to go home." Jiang Ning's eyes fixed, then he raised his steps and followed the crowd through the ticket gate.
The conductor stood in front of the car door and used pliers to cut a slit in the paper ticket. Jiang Ning stepped into the crowded and dull carriage, and all kinds of smells were mixed together.
He found his seat along the way, a 40-minute mileage, and the hard-seat ticket he bought was located in the two-seat window seat.
Yes, Shuangshuang bought him the best ticket within the choice.
Jiang Ning walked closer and found that his seat was occupied by someone. After showing his ticket, the person quickly got out of the way.
Jiang Ning put her backpack on the luggage rack. During this time, a girl opposite the small table had a hint of surprise and joy in her eyes.
Jiang Ning's appearance and temperament are now completely different from those before, and she can already enjoy the benefits of appearance.
There is no doubt that excellent appearance in the social field is a completely different life experience.
After he put away his luggage, he also looked at the girl. Looking at this familiar stranger, Jiang Ning thought:
'Haha, Shuangshuang is really capable, and he even found an acquaintance for me.'
Many people take trains and often expect to have a young member of the opposite sex by their side to spend a wonderful journey. However, this is a small probability after all. Even on hard-seat trains, there is a possibility of being sandwiched between two fat uncles and aunts, making them weak and pitiful.
The girl opposite the small table at the moment is Gao Yinghui, an elementary school classmate whom Jiang Ning had almost forgotten.
She is dressed in a cold white lamb suit, with neat shoulder-length short hair. Her hair is very layered, and her nose appears to be straight. Her facial features are a bit more capable and intellectual than those of ordinary girls. It's strange, obviously
She is still a girl.
"Pretty good." Jiang Ning smiled, he was in a good mood.
It is also a good life to be arranged occasionally.
He did not recognize Gao Yinghui, but sat down quietly and turned to look out the window, at the train tracks and all kinds of hurried pedestrians.
Time passes minute by minute.
At a certain moment, someone asked for help: "Hello, can you help me put my luggage?"
Jiang Ning turned his face and saw a young woman. He was just about to get up when the enthusiastic male college passenger next to him took the suitcase and put it on the luggage rack.
"Thank you, thank you!" the young woman quickly thanked her.
The male college student waved his hand: "It's okay."
After saying that, the young woman sat next to Jiang Ning, holding a backpack in her arms.
It was the Spring Festival travel season, and many people were carrying luggage, which resulted in insufficient space on the luggage rack. A bald man put his trolley suitcase upright on the luggage rack, leaving a large section exposed.
The male college student reminded: "You can't do this, there is a risk of falling!"
The bald man was very angry: "It's not like no one is doing this, so why can't it be done?"
"Your box is different, it's too long!" The male college student said very righteously.
"You want to let one drop?" The bald man said in a very strong tone.
Jiang Ning scanned it with his consciousness and saw that the box was already shaky. With a wave of his finger, the big box suddenly fell down and hit the bald man.
Fortunately, he was looking at the box and tried his best to block it, otherwise his nose would be smashed and bleed.
There was a burst of laughter from all around, the bald man cursed secretly, and carried the box away honestly, and the environment gradually became quiet.
Then, Jiang Ning took a look at the young woman next to her. She had an average appearance and a somewhat nervous expression. She was always paying attention to the surrounding scene.
Jiang Ning noticed that she looked at the bag in her arms from time to time, as if there was something important hidden inside.
Jiang Ning scanned his consciousness and said in his mind: 'You are quite courageous.'
The train gradually started to move, and the scenery outside the window passed quickly. The trees were bare, their branches swaying in the cold wind, and the fields in the distance were covered with a thin layer of snow and covered with silver, which was extremely beautiful.
Soon, all the beautiful scenery was left behind by the fast-moving train.
The conductor was holding several large packets of milk tablets and was selling them loudly: "Our milk is made from camel milk. It is one of the best. I don't need to tell you that everyone knows it."
"It's almost the Chinese New Year. Isn't it just a chance to reunite with my family after taking such a long train ride? I bought a few packs of milk tablets to bring to my family. The children can eat with peace of mind, and the elderly can eat with peace of mind. Don't you think so?
"
An old man answered: "Well, who says it isn't?"
Conductor: "Uncle, would you like some packets? Now it's fifty yuan for three packets, and I'll give you two more packets!"
The uncle had a stinky face: "I bought beef jerky for my grandson at the last stop, and he chewed it for half an hour without chewing it!"
The conductor was embarrassed and said, "It's okay. You get off at Huaicheng. There are still two hours left. Chew slowly!"
Everyone is happy.
The conductor looked at the uncle's grandson and gave him two milk clams: "Kid, do you smell it?"
"fragrant!"
"Not only does it smell delicious, it tastes even better. Can you let grandpa buy two packs?"
"Okay, grandpa, I want to eat!"
The old man was so angry that his liver ached. The conductor was so bad that he actually used milk clams to seduce his grandson. The old man had no choice but to grit his teeth and use an advanced ordering method to buy a few packages with other passengers.
After a brief interlude, Gao Yinghui, who was on the opposite side of the small table, took a look at Jiang Ning's appearance, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Moreover, she felt more and more that the man's eyebrows were somewhat familiar, like an old friend, but she couldn't remember who it was in a hurry.
"So handsome, it's a pity that I..." She felt inexplicably regretful in her heart.
Immediately, the impulse dominated her emotions again. She took out a pack of plums, opened them, and gave two to Jiang Ning and the young woman.
Jiang Ning smiled: "Thank you."
The young woman was shocked and thanked her too.
Jiang Ning ate Liuliumei, took out her mobile phone and took a photo outside the window, preparing to post it on her WeChat Moments.
At this time, Gao Yinghui said: "Where are you getting off?"
Jiang Ning: "Gu Yang."
"What a coincidence, I'm from Guyang too." Gao Yinghui said, she pulled back her hair in front of her forehead to make her face clearer.
She was quite good-looking. Logically speaking, her appearance should have left some rumors among Jiang Ning's former classmates. However, she disappeared completely later.
Jiang Ning was in the sixth grade of primary school and was studying in the town middle school. He and Gao Yinghui were assigned to the same class. Gao Yinghui was his front desk. She was relatively "powerful" in the school at that time. As the eldest sister, Gao Yinghui had her first love affair in elementary school...
Looking back now, Jiang Ning thought: 'You are so young, do you really understand?'
At that time, Gao Yinghui had a good relationship with many "big brothers" and was undoubtedly someone Jiang Ning could not afford to offend.
However, Gao Yinghui is a good person, has good grades, and writes very well in test papers. Jiang Ning often copies her.
So the relationship between the two is pretty good.
After graduating from primary school, many students were promoted to the town middle school step by step, but Gao Yinghui transferred to the county No. 3 middle school.
I thought there was no news, but unexpectedly, during the winter vacation of the first year of junior high school, Jiang Ning went to a classmate's house for a meal and unexpectedly ran into Gao Yinghui again.
When we met again this time, she was much more mature than before. She no longer had that chaotic feeling, and instead she became a melancholic and artistic girl.
At that time, Jiang Ning, her male classmate, Gao Yinghui and another female classmate sneaked into the school to play table tennis at night. I remember playing until very late. The last four of them sat on the table tennis table, looking up at the night sky, talking about the future and
dream.
Going home late at night, Jiang Ning and Gao Yinghui walked on the same road. The two reached separate intersections. It was very cold at night, and the dim street lights were very bright, which made Gao Yinghui's face extremely bright.
It was a rare opportunity. Jiang Ning asked her for her QQ number. Gao Yinghui hesitated to speak, with a very complicated look on her face, and finally rejected Jiang Ning.
That was the last time Jiang Ning saw her. Gao Yinghui disappeared and there was no contact with her again. Jiang Ning gradually forgot about her.
But I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet him in this life.
"Why did she lose contact with everyone back then?" Jiang Ning was also confused. There was an accident or something went wrong.
He thought in his heart: 'Spiritual consciousness is activated.'
An invisible ripple instantly penetrated Gao Yinghui's body.
Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, and a word silently popped into her mind: 'Kidney failure, stage three to stage four.'
'So that's it.' He suddenly realized, 'Stage three kidney failure cannot be cured, and stage five kidney failure will evolve into uremia. You won't die, but your life will definitely not be good.'
Maybe this is the reason behind everything.
"Are you still a student?" Gao Yinghui always felt that he looked so familiar.
Jiang Ning: "Second year of high school."
"I am also a sophomore in high school." Gao Yinghui said.
She couldn't help but ask: "Do we know each other? I always feel that you look familiar."
As soon as these words came out, the young woman holding the bag in her arms laughed out loud. In what age are you still doing this kind of pick-up conversation?
Realizing that it was not good to laugh at this moment, she quickly covered her mouth.
It made Gao Yinghui quite embarrassed.
Jiang Ning joked: "Maybe we knew each other in the past life."
The young woman next to her covered her mouth and was having a hard time suppressing her laughter.
Jiang Ning glanced at her and said, "You like to laugh, right? What's in your bag?"
The young woman's expression suddenly changed.
Jiang Ning threatened in a low voice: "I suspect you have hidden contraband. If you don't tell me, I..."
The young woman grabbed Jiang Ning and gently opened the zipper of the bag. It turned out to be a cute ragdoll cat.
Gao Yinghui opened her mouth: "Cat?"
Pets are not allowed on the train and if found, the conductor will impose sanctions.
The young woman looked at Jiang Ning with a bit of pleading: "Can you not say that I brought a cat?"
"Your cat? No, it's my cat now."
Jiang Ning reached into her bag and touched the cat with peace of mind.
Gao Yinghui picked up the conversation again: "Can I ask what your name is?
"Jiang Ning."
"Jiang Ning..." Gao Yinghui muttered, and immediately her eyes slowly widened in disbelief.
"Wamiao Town Primary School, Class 3, Grade 6?"
Jiang Ning smiled: "Hey, classmate Gao, do you still remember?"
When Gao Yinghui saw his playful expression, the change in his expression was wonderful. She said angrily: "Jiang Ning, it turns out you have recognized me a long time ago!"
She just felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to punch Jiang Ning a few times!
Damn it, you’ve recognized it a long time ago and you’re still pretending that you don’t know him?
When she thought again, her little move of peeking at Jiang Ning just now might be caught by the other party, and Gao Yinghui wanted to jump out of the car!
The girl's shock, anger, and shyness merged together at this moment to form the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I'm teasing you."
Gao Yinghui's face was hot. She thought for a second and was surprised: "We haven't seen each other for only four years, have you changed so much? I almost didn't recognize you."
Jiang Ning returned to being serious, and his tone was a little deeper: "Yes, the last time we met was four years ago."
