Chapter 83 The first day on the international list
I thought it would be over soon, but I didn't expect that just after passing a few boxes, I heard the long legs start to roar. Liuba poked her head over and whispered: "There's a fine!"
As expected, all three boxes were fined, saying they were overweight, and some had incorrectly filled out customs declaration forms. They were fined ranging from US$50 to US$500.
The person who was fined $500 was a southern couple who followed the long-legged couple and said countless nice things, almost falling to their knees.
Tie Jun resisted the urge to help, mainly because he was afraid of the long-legged eyes. If he really tried to fix himself, he would be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, but others would bring glory to the country.
After being punished, Tie Jun walked back with a thick pile of tickets in his long legs. Tie Jun quickly retracted his head and was touched when he passed by their box. What a shame.
Not long after Da Long Legs went down, the big-nosed officer came up to return the passport. Tie Jun handed the passport to Liuba, and she kept the passports in this box.
"It's time to change tracks!"
Just as Liuba finished speaking, Bella's voice sounded.
"Please take your valuables and get off the train. The train is about to change tracks. It will take four hours. Please pay attention to the time and don't go too late!"
Liuba reminded everyone to wear more clothes. The four of them put on their coats, carried their small bags and left the box, closed the door and got out of the car.
"Liuba, do you often take this train?"
Sister Li asked Liuba, and Liuba nodded, "How many times a year do you have to sit?" Tie Jun felt more relieved, and it seemed that he would just listen to her all the way.
Since Tie Jun and others got on the car from behind, they crowded at the door. Many people greeted them, and Tie Jun remembered a few of them.
The four brothers in Beijing, Zhang Hai, Zhang He, Zhang Shan, and Zhang Chuan, are all in their 20s. They are a bit like Liu Jianguo and the others. They have three brothers and a cousin.
The couple who was punished were from Zhejiang. They were practicing stalls in the Dahongmen area of Beijing. It was their first time to carry a big bag with a fellow villager. They were punished so much that they were punished so harshly.
Later, Tie Jun found out, but they still didn't understand. Tie Jun's bags must be overweight, but if someone is covering them, they'll be fine.
There are some others that Tiejun can't remember, but he's not in a hurry. There are still six days left, so it's hard to remember the people in one carriage!
The four guys from Beijing were quite talkative. They pulled Tie Jun to follow them. Maybe they wanted to make friends with them. After all, it would be safer to join forces!
The one who talked the most was Zhang He, the second eldest son of the Zhang family. After walking a few steps, he started introducing people.
"Everything is bigger, Lao Maozi, and the rails are wider than ours. After a while, a crane will lift the train to complete the track change."
"Then why can't the width be unified?"
Jianmin came over to talk, Zhang He smiled and put his arm around Jianmin's shoulders.
"Brother, you've got to the point. I'm big on everything, but I'm just so small-minded. Do you think you've always fallen out with us over the years?"
Everyone knows it, but no one talks about it. After all, there are many old people in the carriage.
Tie Jun made a special observation and found that these old men didn't seem to care. Even Liuba and the others were laughing.
"They want to help us, but they are afraid to help us. This railway track is just to prevent us from coming in directly from here. Do you think they are being cautious?"
Who can say, after all, this is their territory now, the boss Zhang Hai kicked him in the back, "Stop talking about politics!" Zhang He shrank his neck and stopped talking.
The brothers took them quite far, and Liuba whispered: "The place they took is the same place I want to take you, and the food there is not bad!"
This small station is completely open, with no railings or ticket gates. You can enter and exit at will. They have a small population, so everyone gets on the train to check in.
The town is very dilapidated, with wooden houses all built, and the roads are dirt roads with lots of potholes.
As soon as we got out of the station, everyone dispersed, and a woman with a bucket waist ran out of the wooden carvings, waving a towel and calling the passengers to come in and eat.
Tie Jun and the others entered this house. They found the wooden tiles were the largest and the long table was clean. Food was placed on iron plates one after another and a table was set up.
Everyone sat down next to each other in a row, and Yelena teased Tiejun. Tiejun was quite afraid of her. Just about to ask her why she teased him, Liuba smiled and said, "Soviet custom is that you can't sit in the corner."
"It's okay. You have to be careful when you go to Moscow. You might get beaten if you don't do it!"
Jianguo patted Tie Jun, and Tie Jun smiled awkwardly. They all knew that he was just a fool, but he had to be careful. The fists of the fighting nation were very strong!
I sat down and looked at the iron plate, which contained a piece of steak and a piece of meat pie, with knives and forks on both sides. An old couple also gave me a glass of milk and a few slices of black ribs.
Tie Jun picked up the knife and fork, lowered his head and started eating. The steak was too hard and he ran away as soon as he pierced it. After a few misses, Yelena came to help, and the whole process was like an urban management arresting a hawker.
After finally holding it down, Yelena laughed so hard that she lay on top of Tie Jun, almost squeezing her breasts out.
Instead of dismembering it, Tie Jun held up his fork and bit it. It was so hard that the teeth were not in good condition, and several teeth were broken.
Tie Jun really doubts what other families can do. Is this all, or does Liuba say it's okay?
Black Leba is made entirely from milk, which is too harsh on the throat, and the patties are sour and hard, so it needs to be washed with milk.
Seeing Tie Jun's pain, Yelena came over again and said, "Be content, we can't buy anything to eat even if we wait in line all day!" Tie Jun rolled his eyes and learned Northeastern dialect.
After finishing the meal, each of them drank a cup of black tea with sugar. Tie Jun tried his best to look like he was enjoying it.
After drinking tea, everyone went out for a walk. Tie Jun wanted to join the gang and wander around by himself. Three ladies followed him, meaning to protect him.
Liuba led the way and entered a small market. Tiejun saw that they were all compatriots, squatting in front of the stall with their sleeves folded.
They are all domestic products, and many old men are bartering with our compatriots carrying telescopes, watches, matryoshka dolls, and razors with old cords.
There was nothing to buy, just shopping around and killing time. However, Yelena bought a few bottles of kvass, saying it tasted better than Bingcheng's.
When walking back, I saw brothers Zhang and Liu carrying several barrels of Lao Maozi beer. Yelena said it tasted better than Bingcheng's beer, and Tie Jun was looking forward to it.
Returning to the platform, Tie Jun observed that many people were carrying beer and kvass.
More than ten minutes later, Bella called everyone to get in the car.
The train finally started moving, and the old men in the carriage began to drink beer. The Tiejun once again admired the fighting nation's brilliance, and they were able to drink it early in the morning.
Tie Jun retreated into the big seam and fell asleep. At first, he could still hear Sister Li whispering to the two unmarried women about men and women. After wandering for a while, he slowly fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept. Tie Jun opened his eyes and moved the big bag down. Opposite Yelena lay on the big bag and looked out the window. Sister Li and Liuba were still sleeping.
For some reason, Tie Jun felt that Yelena's side face was very sad, and Tie Jun also tilted his head and looked out the window.
There was a bleak scene in front of me, filled with the loneliness of late autumn. Rows of big trees were running behind them, and occasionally there were a few wooden fences, but no one could be seen coming out.
Unknowingly, Tie Jun also became sad. At this time, Yelena sang a song softly. It was very nice. Tie Jun closed his eyes and listened attentively.
