Perhaps because of the holiday, the train station was more crowded than usual. If it weren't for Lingchuan's protection, Yunmo would have been squeezed.
After finally squeezing into the carriage, Yun Mo was about to cry on the spot.
Ling Jiang bought the ticket, probably considering the cost, so he bought the cheapest green leather hard seat.
Before getting on the bus, Yun Mo hesitated whether to exchange the ticket, but she realized that the tickets were already purchased and the whole journey was less than 20 hours, so she just had to endure it and it was almost over.
But the reality is crueler and worse than Yunmo imagined.
The hard seats of this era are not like those of later generations. The seats are covered with a layer of foam. This hard seat is a real hard seat, a wooden seat. Because it has been sat on too many times, the seat has become thickly packed.
Pulp.
Even though the seats were as hard as rocks, there were so many people in the carriage. It was stuffy and hot. There was no air conditioning, not even an electric fan. The odors of feet, sweat, body odor, and cigarette smoke were all intertwined.
Together, it was so smokey that Yun Mo almost suffocated.
She couldn't stay there for even a second and turned around and walked towards the car door. Lingchuan quickly followed behind her.
"Momo, what's wrong?"
After walking out of the car door, Yun Mo dared to breathe and speak.
Because he had been holding his breath for so long, his apricot eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and his voice was filled with a squeamish cry due to the discomfort.
"I want to change my ticket. I don't want to sit in the hard seat. It smells too bad."
She could tolerate being tired, but she really couldn't bear the smell, not even for a second.
She even made up her mind that if the man didn't change her ticket, she wouldn't go to the black market.
Lingchuan was a little hesitant. He had spent all his money last night. If he wanted to change seats, he would have to ask his wife for money.
This is undoubtedly very damaging to a man's self-esteem and face.
But seeing his daughter-in-law looking so uncomfortable and about to cry, he suddenly felt that he was a jerk. Should he let his daughter-in-law suffer for the sake of self-esteem and face?
"Momo, wait for me here, I'll go find the conductor to change my ticket now!"
Yun Mo pouted with satisfaction, "Oh."
Seeing the man standing motionless, his dark eyes hesitant to speak, Yun Mo couldn't help but urge, "Go quickly."
"Momo, I, I don't have any money..."
Looking at the man's ears that were about to bleed, Yun Mo directly handed the wallet to him, "You go ahead. You don't have to save money for me. Just change all three tickets into soft sleepers. Just treat it like I'm inviting you and your eldest brother to go on a trip."
Lingchuan turned around without saying anything and went to find the conductor.
After almost five minutes, Lingchuan ran back sweating profusely, pulling her towards the back of the car.
As he walked, he told her, "Momo, your carriage is in No. 16, which is next to Zeng Fang's No. 15 carriage."
Yun Mo looked at him subconsciously, "What about you and brother?"
"This is the only soft sleeper ticket left."
Seeing that she pursed her lips and said nothing, Lingchuan couldn't help but comfort her: "It's okay. My eldest brother and I are used to it. We can just sit on the hard seats. Momo, I'm not with you. You should pay attention to yourself and go if anything happens."
Ask Zeng Fang and others for help."
"knew."
After helping her settle down, Lingchuan got out of the car and went to his own compartment.
After changing carriages, she felt comfortable both physically and mentally, but Yunmo felt very unhappy.
Although she went to Urumqi this time to help Ling Jiang do business, in her heart, she also subconsciously regarded this trip as a holiday trip for her and Ling Chuan.
But in the end, she was alone at the back of the car, while the man was far away at the front of the car.
It was nonsense to say that there was no ticket. The small car she was sitting in was empty. What a fool. She even gave him her wallet and didn’t even know how to spend money!
After being depressed for a while, the car body suddenly vibrated and then started to drive slowly.
Yun Mo lay alone on the berth, staring blankly at the receding scenery outside the car window, and closed her eyes unconsciously.
—
After an hour of careful dressing up, the face in the mirror finally looked like a human being, and Yunyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that it was less than half an hour until 2 o'clock, she quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs to prepare.
Just after 2 o'clock, Su Mingan's jeep parked outside the gate of Yun's house, and Yunyao went out to greet it with excitement and apprehension.
"Where is Yunmo?"
After getting off the car, Su Mingan, wearing sunglasses on his face, leaned lazily against the car door and asked.
Looking at the handsome fiancé in front of her, Yunyao felt like a deer was jumping around in her heart.
"Xiao Mo hasn't come yet. She may have to wait a while. Ming'an, it's hot outside. Go ahead and sit down. I've prepared a cold drink."
"Then I'll come back later."
Hearing that Yun Mo hadn't come yet, Su Mingan sat back in the car, closed the door and drove away.
Yunyao, who was sprayed with exhaust gas, stood there and stamped her feet in annoyance.
On the second floor, Yun Huan, who was standing in front of the window, had a panoramic view of this scene, with a sarcastic sneer on his face.
"Brother Ming'an can't even look down on a beauty like Yun Mo, but would he fall in love with an ugly guy like you? I'm just dreaming!"
Yun Huan turned back to the dressing mirror and admired her outfit with satisfaction.
At just 15 years old this year, she is already slim and graceful, with a curvy figure and a round face. She looks lucky at first glance, and is much better than Yunyao, who has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
They are both daughters of the Yun family, why can't she marry into the Su family?
The girl was exactly the age of Huaichun, and Su Mingan was the elder brother of a well-connected family, and he was also handsome and charming. Yun Huan inevitably developed admiration and unspeakable feelings for her.
Around 2:30, several female classmates invited by Yunyao arrived one after another.
"Wow, Yunyao, your home is so beautiful, the living room alone is bigger than mine."
"Is this a crystal lamp? It's so sparkly and beautiful. It must be expensive, right?"
"Yunyao, you even have a landline phone at home! I heard that installing a landline phone costs several thousand yuan."
These were all Yunyao's former classmates in No. 6 Middle School. Their family backgrounds were very ordinary. When they saw the magnificent Yun family and the exquisite and delicious pastries and tea drinks on the dining table, they all looked amazed and envious.
A bunch of rubes!
Yunyao was secretly sarcastic in her heart, but on her face she warmly greeted everyone to sit down.
Inviting these people here is purely to add to the spectacle. There is no other way. Since Jiang Yu’s last birthday party, all the rich girls have stopped interacting with her. Even if she invites her kindly, those people will not show favor.
To attend her party, she can only ask these low-class people to make up the number.
Yunyao kept a smile on her face while eating and drinking with everyone, while paying attention to what was going on outside.
It wasn't until almost 3 o'clock that Su Mingan's jeep parked outside the Yun family gate again.
Yunyao didn't bother to greet the people in the living room and immediately got up and went out to greet them.
Along with Su Mingan, there were two wealthy young men with whom I had a good relationship.
Yun Yao showed her best attitude and called out in a soft voice: "Ming'an, you're here."
Su Mingan casually took off her sunglasses and hung them on her shirt, and straightened her somewhat messy bangs. Her manners were suave and noble, making Yun Yao and the group of girls behind her blush.
