Perhaps thinking that Fangyuan was too little, the young man quickly said: "Ten yuan is fine."
"I said you are really generous. I just helped you bring something to the train. Just give me ten yuan." Fang Yuan shook his head after finishing speaking.
You know, the train ticket from Yangcheng to the Imperial Capital is less than ten yuan, and this is for sleepers, soft seats and hard seats are even cheaper.
"Little brother, ten yuan is already a lot." The young man said with a wry smile.
He saw Fangyuan shaking his head and thought that Fangyuan was unwilling to help him.
Fangyuan looked at him and said: "I don't want the money. I just want to know why you are looking for me? Instead of looking for someone else. Besides, are you so sure that I am on the same train with you?"
"Little brother, look, except you, who is carrying a bag, who else can help me carry things." The young man pointed to the crowd around him.
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yuan and said, "As for whether it's just one train, there's only one train bound for the imperial capital within an hour."
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling that the young man's mind was very active, and looked around again, it was really...
Everyone has a big bag or a small bag. No matter whether you are coming to Yangcheng from outside or going to other places from Yangcheng, who doesn’t bring something with you!
It’s not because things here in Yangcheng are cheap and you can make money by taking them back, or taking them to other places.
"Okay! This is indeed a good reason. I will help you."
The reason why Fangyuan helped him carry it was not because of anything else, but because the young man was quick-witted and knew how to sell things from Yangcheng at this time.
To be honest, young people are doing it a little too early. You have to remember that there is no reform and opening up yet.
In the early days of reform and opening up, many people carried TV sets from Yangcheng to the north for sale, and there were no restrictions at that time.
"Ah! Really?" The young man looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.
"If you don't want me to carry it for you, just forget it."
"I think, I think, of course I do." The young man nodded quickly and said.
In fact, there was another reason why Fangyuan helped him. Fangyuan had been out for several years and was not very familiar with the situation in the country, so he could let the young man explain it to him.
"Let's go then! Go get the TV."
"Hey! Thank you!"
"You're welcome, and it's much more comfortable to talk like this." Fang Yuan went over and patted the young man on the shoulder.
The young man touched his nose in embarrassment. Of course he knew what Fangyuan meant, which meant that he just held his voice and spoke Cantonese.
The young man took Fangyuan to a small hotel near the train station. The young man opened the door, and Fangyuan saw a pile of packed things in the room.
Fangyuan glanced at the young man and said, "You have more than two TVs, right?"
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the young man quickly said: "There are only two TVs, and there are some other things. Don't worry, you only need to bring one TV for me, and I will take the others myself."
"All right!"
The young man handed a box containing a TV to Fangyuan, and then began to hang large and small bags on his body.
Fangyuan shook his head and said, "Let me get you some more!"
There is no way, young people take too many things.
"Ah! Thank you! Thank you!"
With Fangyuan's help, the young man felt much more relaxed. Soon the two of them finished taking their things and checked out of the room.
Arriving at the train station, Fangyuan glanced at the young man and said, "Let's go in."
"Shall we go in now? It's not the departure time yet."
Young people buy tickets for hard seats. In fact, no matter whether it is a soft seat or a hard seat, the ticket check-in starts a few minutes before the departure of the train.
"Let's go in first."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the young man thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"
Although it's not time to board the bus yet, you can already enter the station and wait for the bus.
After entering the waiting room, Fangyuan walked directly to the lounge. Fangyuan had ridden here many times and was very familiar with it.
"Let's go! Why are you standing there?" Fangyuan looked back and saw the young man standing there motionless and said.
"Brother, that's the lounge over there, we have to wait here."
Fangyuan patted his head and said, "You can come if you are asked. Do you still want to get in the car?"
"this……"
But Fangyuan ignored him and walked directly to the lounge. Seeing this, the young man had no choice but to follow him.
Arriving at the door of the lounge, Fangyuan handed the ticket to a staff member.
The staff directly brought Fangyuan and the young man in without even checking.
It was still some time before the train started, so instead of sending Fangyuan to the station, we found a place for Fangyuan and the young man to rest.
"Brother, who are you?" After putting down the things and watching the staff leave, the young man looked at Fang Yuan and asked.
"I'm just an ordinary person, just like you."
"Uh!" The young man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
If Fangyuan was an ordinary person, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death. Just kidding, can ordinary people just come to the lounge!
And when I came in, the staff didn't even check. You know, the inspection outside is very strict.
"Oh! If I had known, I would have brought two more TV sets." The young man said at this time.
"Don't even think about it. Although we don't check here, we did check when we entered the waiting hall just now!"
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the young man nodded and said, "That's right."
After resting for almost ten minutes, a staff member came over and said to Yuan and the young man: "Comrade, you can get in the car now. I will take you there."
"Okay, thank you!" Fangyuan quickly stood up and said.
"You're welcome, please come with me."
Fangyuan and the young man quickly picked up their things, then followed the staff through a small door and entered the platform.
The train had stopped here, and the staff took the two people directly onto the train.
It's not the holidays, so there aren't many people in the soft sleeper compartment.
"Comrade, this is your bunk."
"Okay, please."
"No trouble, you can rest! I'll leave first."
"Um!"
After the staff member left, the young man's eyes changed when he looked at Fangyuan.
"Brother, you're hiding quite well! It's actually a sleeper car."
"Shh, don't talk."
The staff just looked at his ticket, not the young man's. The staff thought they were together and had the same ticket.
"Oh! Okay."
The young man quickly covered his mouth. How could someone like him, who often ran around on the train, not understand what was going on?
Maybe it’s because there are fewer people in the soft sleeper carriages! They are widely spaced, basically one cabin per person.
Only Fangyuan's small compartment had one more person.
"By the way, brother, what's your name?"
"Fangyuan."
"Fang Yuan?" The young man glanced at Fan Yuan and said quickly: "My name is Hao Jian."
"So cheap!"
"Yes, Hao Jian." After saying that, he nodded.
Fangyuan shook his head. People nowadays are so naive that they didn't understand what Fangyuan meant literally.
But it's normal. There is no developed Internet now, and there are no messy jokes.
"Are you from the Imperial Capital too?" Fang Yuan looked at Hao Jian and asked.
"That's right! I'm from the Imperial Capital, from Chengdong District."
"I'm from Dianhai District," Fangyuan said.
The two of them got to know each other after chatting for a while. Since they were both in the same place, they had more topics to talk about.
"Hao Jian, when you take this TV back home, are you going to buy it and resell it?"
"Shh!" Hao Jian quickly put his index finger to his mouth, then stretched his head out of the box to take a look, and then said: "Brother Fangyuan, you are right! But you must not say this outside.
"
"You don't need to tell me this, I know, but I don't understand why you want to do this?"
"Alas! It's not about money."
"Are you short of money?" Fang Yuan looked at Hao Jian and asked.
Hao Jian did not answer Fangyuan's words, but looked at Fangyuan and asked: "No one is short of money, but everyone's situation is different."
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, but had to admit that Hao Jian was right.
"Actually, I used to be a worker and my monthly salary was more than 30 yuan."
"At your age, more than thirty yuan a month is a lot." Fangyuan glanced at Hao Jian again. Judging from his appearance, Hao Jian was definitely not over thirty years old.
"It's a lot, but it's not enough money! I have no choice but to take a leave of absence without pay and then go out to make a living."
"Do you have many brothers and sisters in your family?" Fang Yuan looked at Hao Jian and asked.
Hao Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Whose family doesn't have many brothers and sisters? It's just that my family is a bit special."
"Oh! How special?"
"My uncle left early, my aunt remarried again, and several of my uncle's children are also at my home. Our family originally had many brothers and sisters, so we have more brothers and sisters, and I am the eldest in the family, so..."
"I understand, your family is indeed special, no wonder you would do this."
You must know that in this era, every family has more children. There are four, five, five or six children, and there are seventy or eighty children.
As for Hao Jian's family, there are already many children, and with the addition of several children from his uncle's family, you can imagine what it will be like.
Thinking about it makes people's scalp numb, but one thing is that both Hao Jian and his parents can be called good people.
You know, in this era when you can’t even have enough to eat for yourself, who can care about others!
Hao Jian's parents not only took care of others, but also took their brother's children into their own home and raised them.
Only those who have experienced the ups and downs can know what it feels like.
"By the way, when did you start doing this?" Fang Yuan asked.
Hao Jian scratched his head and said sheepishly: "This is the first time."
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Looking at how experienced you are, I thought you had been working for a long time!"
Hao Jian blushed and said, "What's the point of being sophisticated! I can't even learn a word, so you can see through it at a glance."
