This is a train bound for Heljiang Harbin. Even though it is August now, I am wearing a shirt and a coat. It is too cold to sleep at night.
Lin Yutong opened his eyes and asked the fourth master to lean on him. He probably hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, and he was sleeping so soundly now. This face looked a bit unfamiliar, but it also had sharp edges and thick black eyebrows.
His eyes are also particularly bright. His nose is straight and his lips are thin. He is a handsome young man. He is wearing a military green coat. When he looked at it during the day, it turned a little white after washing. Underneath is a summer vest.
The white ones may be old and have some yellowing. The blue pants are very baggy. On the feet are a pair of earthy yellow rubber shoes.
This is almost the same as most of the young people on the train.
His hands are now thick and have distinct joints. I don’t know what he does at home, but these hands are very rough, which shows that he is used to doing work.
Lin Yutong lowered his head and looked at his body. He was wearing a red, white and black plaid jacket. Under the jacket was a white floral shirt with blue flowers. The lower body was a pair of military trousers, which were very fat. On his feet were a pair of white
Wearing cloth shoes with black stripes on the bottom and gray socks exposed on the feet. And without looking, just relying on memories, Lin Yutong also knew that the shoes and socks on his feet were extremely dirty. When he got on the train, he almost squeezed to death
Personally, I don’t know how many feet I have been stepped on.
She raised her hand and touched her hair. The braid hung down to the front, but it only just reached her shoulders. It seems to be popular nowadays. If it is too long, it does not look good. If it is too short, just cut it into an ear-length bob. In her opinion, it is still
It's better to braid your hair like this, at least it won't get messed up by the wind.
The rubber bands that tie the pigtails are khaki-colored rubber bands. There are also green and red rubber bands, and beautiful girls also have them. The girl opposite is wearing such a rubber band. Even one side of the rubber band was originally broken.
She tied the two ends into a knot and continued to use it.
Lin Yutong looked at his body and saw that the clothes were actually brand new. Compared to the fourth master, it seemed that the situation at home was slightly better.
Looking up, I saw that the people in the carriage were all sitting next to each other, squeezing each other. When they fell asleep, they were naturally looking for heat sources. I and the Fourth Master were leaning against each other, so they no longer looked out of place.
My position is very good, I happen to be the first one to enter the carriage. Therefore, when I look up, I can see the full carriage. And because it is the first row of seats, they are all two-seater. The others are three-seater.
.But with three people sitting there are almost four people squeezed in. It becomes increasingly difficult to stretch their arms and legs.
Old trains, old hard seats. Sitting on this, I know how comfortable the high-speed train is. I know how beautiful and happy it is to be able to fly all over the sky on a plane.
When a hazy white light appeared outside the car window, there were sounds one after another in the car. Some people complained that their arms were numb due to pressure from others. Some people complained that it was too cold in the middle of the night.
In fact, when it is almost dawn, around four or five o'clock, it is the coldest time. So, it is normal for everyone to wake up.
The young man opposite finally woke up, and when he moved, he woke up the girl who was sleeping soundly on top of him.
The two of them looked at each other, feeling awkward and at a loss for a moment. It wasn't until they saw Lin Yutong and Fourth Master leaning together that they felt better.
"It's too cold at night." The girl smiled with Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong nodded, but before he spoke, Fourth Master opened his eyes. He was confused for a moment, and then felt a little relieved when he saw Lin Yutong.
"Yin Zhen, are you awake?" It was not Lin Yutong who spoke, but the young man opposite.
It seems that the two of them know each other.
Fourth Master stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, "I'm awake. I had a really solid sleep this time." There was someone by his side, so he no longer felt lonely.
"You didn't close your eyes when you got on the train. You must have slept soundly when you were sleepy." The young man chuckled and pointed at Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, "Do you know each other? I haven't mentioned it to you before?"
The fourth master nodded suddenly, "I met him when we were young. You must not know."
Then the fourth master said to Lin Yutong: "This is Liu Jianjun, we live in the same alley."
Lin Yutong smiled at Liu Jianjun, "My name is Lin Yutong. Hello!"
"Hello, hello." Liu Jianjun touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "We are all from Beijing, where are you assigned?"
Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master. Oh no! What if we are not assigned together?
She smiled reluctantly, "H River, A County, Kaoshan Village."
"Oh, you and Yin Zhen are really destined." Liu Jianjun laughed, "Now you have company."
Lin Yutong felt relieved and felt that Fourth Master's tense body also relaxed.
What a surprise!
"So you're going to jump in line?" The girl opposite smiled, "My name is Li Hong, and I'm assigned to the Construction Corps."
Liu Jianjun looked at Li Hong with envy, "Then you are so lucky. I was assigned to the forest farm."
Lin Yutong knew before that the Construction Corps earned thirty or forty yuan a month, which was not considered low income in the city. When going to the countryside to join a team and earn work points, each production team is different. A strong laborer can earn up to one yuan a day.
A dime is considered a good production team.
Then I heard Liu Jianjun say: "If you go to build a corps, you won't have the opportunity to carry a gun and defend the border for the motherland. It's really enviable."
Lin Yutong suddenly felt his face getting hot.
The young people of this era have an exciting passion in them. Compared with other people's sentiments, Lin Yutong was ashamed.
Li Hong smiled modestly, "The division of labor in the revolution is different."
The sky gradually dawned, and with the sound of the train whistle, we arrived at Harbin Station.
The fourth master stood up and took down the two people's luggage from the luggage rack. The big item was a set of quilts, wrapped in plastic sheets and tied into a backpack, to be carried on the shoulders. A military green, half-used gift bag.
It was portable. There was also a bag in the shape of a bag, which contained a washbasin, a hot water bottle, a lunch box, and an enamel jar. Lin Yutong stood up, only to find that he was also carrying a military green backpack slung across his body, with the words "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" printed on it.
', there is also a military water bottle, also straddling the body, just to the left and right of the backpack. Looking at the fourth master again, the equipment is similar.
"Master... I'll carry it." Fourth Master wanted to carry both of their quilts on his back, one behind the other.
Of course, Lin Yutong couldn't bear to let him suffer like this, and whispered: "I'm afraid that others will say that I have some assets and the squeamishness of a class lady."
Fourth Master lifted his hand, frowned slightly, and helped Lin Yutong carry it, "Tell me when you're tired."
With that said, he picked up the gift bags of the two of them. Lin Yutong held their pockets.
Following the crowd, he was squeezed out. The Fourth Master looked back at the train. When he turned around, he realized that the station was suddenly crowded with people. He stared at Lin Yutong carefully, fearing that she would get lost.
The train station rang with the sound of horns one after another. Lin Yutong waited for a long time before he heard someone shouting, "The educated youth from H River are here to report."
"Over there..." Lin Yutong raised his chin and pointed in the direction.
The station was very noisy with friends and company. The fourth master stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a pocket, and free your hand to hold me."
This is because I am afraid that I will get lost.
Lin Yutong carried the two bags in one hand and freed up one hand to tug on the fourth master's back hem. He seemed to be relieved.
The person in charge of the Educated Youth Office registered and checked their names and read their respective procedures. "Don't run around. We are waiting for the evening train. We must meet here at seven o'clock in the evening."
But it's only seven o'clock in the morning.
Do you have to wait at the station all day?
There seemed to be hundreds of people gathered in this place, and Liu Jianjun and Li Hong were among them, waving to them. These two people occupied a favorable position - the steps. It was not so uncomfortable to sit here.
The corps and forestry farm where they are located are also located in the H River.
Fourth Master whispered: "Let's go there too."
Lin Yutong nodded, of course an acquaintance would be best.
The gift bag was placed on the steps, and the fourth master asked Lin Yutong to sit on it. Then Liu Jianjun pulled the fourth master to leave, turned around and smiled at Lin Yutong and Li Hong, "Let's go first, and I'll replace you later."
This is to go to the toilet.
Lin Yutong nodded to Fourth Master and told him to rest assured.
"We might as well wait for a while, there must be a lot of people here." Li Hong smiled at Lin Yutong.
In fact, after going to the toilet this time, Lin Yutong never went to the toilet again*.
The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong's disheveled face and knew that she was disgusting and disgusting.
"Get used to it gradually." He whispered to comfort her.
Lin Yutong let out a sigh of relief. She herself was not used to it, let alone the fourth master. In the past, he wished he could only serve more than a dozen people.
She took out a handkerchief from her pocket. It was a big palm-sized piece with a blue and gray checkered pattern. Then she poured a kettle into her hands to wet them and handed them to the fourth master, "Wipe them."
There is a water tap at the station, but there are too many people to squeeze in.
"Are you hungry?" Fourth Master handed the handkerchief to Lin Yutong and asked softly. He looked around just now and found no place selling food.
You must be hungry. There is no shortage of food in the space. But do those dare to take it out?
She flipped through the backpack hanging on her body, "There are two more pancakes." Corn flour ones.
She handed one to Fourth Master. For a young man, this was really not enough to fill his teeth.
Fourth Master took it, broke it in half, and gave half to Liu Jianjun.
Liu Jianjun wiped his hands on his clothes, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Take it. You haven't eaten anything since you got on the train." Fourth Master handed it to him.
Didn't eat 'also'?
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master, "You came out of the house without bringing any dry food?"
The Fourth Master nodded to Lin Yutong and then winked. Lin Yutong did not ask further questions. This was not the place to talk.
But he still gave the fourth master a whole pancake in his hand, took half of it from his hand, and immediately took a bite. "I had a stomachache yesterday, so I can't eat more."
Li Hong's originally stretched out hand immediately retracted, "Then I'll keep this nest first. If you're hungry, I'll ask for it." She was reluctant to part with it, and she didn't like eating alone. Now it was just right.
