Sweet 80s

Wang Shuping prepared food for the children and got up to catch up with the cart.

"Comrade, I want to buy two packs of cigarettes."

The salesperson looked Wang Shuping up and down, thinking that she was buying for her husband, so he entertained her warmly.

"Okay, which brand do you want?"

Lin Xiangdong drinks at social events, and occasionally talks to himself when he gets home about what brands of wine he drank, whether it was sauce-flavored, strong-flavored, or light-flavored.

The more you listen, the more you understand.

But she had no idea whether cigarettes were good or bad.

My father never smoked, and my father-in-law only liked to smoke a pipe made from dried tobacco leaves.

Wang Shuping smiled awkwardly and shook her head: "Can you recommend a good brand? I want to give it to someone as a gift."

There is a way.

'One cloud, two nobles, three China, peony flowers under the Huangguoshu tree.'

Pegasus and Blue Bird in the 00s, Hongtashan in the s, Daqianmen in the s, Peony in the s, and Zhonghua in the s.

The above-mentioned times are well-known to everyone.

It was extremely popular in the 1980s and its influence is self-evident. Almost everyone in every class must have smoked Daqianmen.

This type of cigarette is sold all over the country and has always maintained a high level of popularity and influence.

Especially in the 1980s, the production and sales of this brand reached a peak and were deeply loved and praised by consumers.

The salesperson did not recommend a more expensive brand just because the other party did not understand.

Foreign imported cigarettes, for example, once sold for three or five yuan a pack, a luxury item for the common people.

"Da Qianmen, many people smoke, it's also good to give it to others."

After saying that, the salesperson took out the cigarettes from the cart and handed them over.

"How much."

"38 cents a box, 76 cents for two boxes."

After paying the money, Wang Shuping put the cigarette in her hand and walked in the direction where He Chen left.

Wang Shuping still feels it is more convenient to say some things privately.

She walked forward not far before she met the other person at a connection between carriages.

He Chen was leaning against the door, looking out of the carriage window with his head pressed against the window, his eyes filled with loss and sadness.

It's time for dinner.

There are also fewer passengers coming and going.

It was a good time to speak, so Wang Shuping walked over.

At first, He Chen did not notice the other party approaching in time, and was still staring at the things rapidly receding outside the window.

Wang Shuping bit her lip and said, "That..."

He Chen glanced sideways suddenly, then put away his relaxed posture and immediately stood stiffly in place.

"what?"

Wang Shuping showed a hint of nervousness, then gave a polite smile and spoke after a pause.

"I'm so sorry about what happened just now..."

As soon as the words came out.

He Chen's expression also became a little unnatural: "It's okay."

"I didn't understand the situation clearly and dragged you into this. I'm really sorry."

Wang Shuping nodded and apologized to the other party.

This action made He Chen's already panicked expression seem even more uneasy.

"It's really... It's okay, don't take it to heart, actually I..."

He Chen didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly he stopped wanting to continue talking and shut up.

After expressing herself clearly, Wang Shuping was not prepared to be overly polite and put the other party into greater embarrassment.

So she raised her arms and spread her palms.

Two boxes of cigarettes suddenly appeared in front of the other person.

Wang Shuping explained: "I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought two boxes of cigarettes for you to express my apology."

After saying that, she handed it over.

For some reason, He Chen seemed to be experiencing something incredible and his reaction was different from that of an ordinary person.

His body trembled slightly as he slowly retreated until he hit the metal wall behind him.

"No, no, you don't have to do this, I don't smoke..."

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "It's rare for someone not to smoke. It's okay. Take it. I bought it especially for you. If you don't smoke, you can give it to someone else."

"I...I don't have anyone to give it to, so keep it for your man to smoke."

"What a coincidence! He doesn't smoke either. Just take it. Otherwise I'll always feel bad. Let's go back to the car and pretend nothing happened."

After saying that, Wang Shuping stuffed two boxes of cigarettes into He Chen's hands, then turned and left.

He Chen looked down at the cigarette, clenched it tightly in his hand, and tried his best to feel the remaining warmth from the other party.

His eyes became increasingly dim and lifeless, and one could even see a little bit of pearl light rolling in the corners of his eyes...

After returning to the carriage, Wang Shuping felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been unloaded.

"Auntie Yang, is there any stinky fermented tofu left in that bottle?"

"Yes, you need to eat."

Yang Huiying looked at her in disbelief, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"What's the matter? What happened that makes you so happy that you don't even mind the stinky tofu."

"Nothing. I just thought that you'd get off the bus early tomorrow morning. It would be a shame not to try something as good as this."

"Hahaha."

Yang Huiying let out a series of crisp and hearty laughs.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you one more piece so you can taste it carefully."

The moment the three children saw the bottle cap being unscrewed, they quickly raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses.

Dabao even leaned out from the upper bunk and shouted at Wang Shuping to stop them.

"Mom, that stinks, you'd better not eat it!"

Erbao also tried to dissuade her: "That's right, Mom, you can't kiss me if you eat stinky tofu."

Ignoring the children's objections, Wang Shuping put a whole piece of grayish-white stinky tofu into the steamed bun that had been broken open in advance, clasped her hands together, and squeezed it hard and evenly.

"What are you afraid of? This isn't onion or garlic. Just rinse your mouth and the smell will go away."

Yan Shengnan was also a little greedy, and said softly with twinkling eyes: "I want to try it too."

"Okay, I'll break it for you."

Dabao saw that it was useless to dissuade him, and even Yan Shengnan joined the stinky army, shaking his head and sighing on the upper bunk.

"It's over, it's over, it's going to stink for quite some time..."

Yang Huiying's journey is finally coming to an end.

The next morning, the train slowly stopped in front of the platform.

It was another lively scene of people going up and down.

Wang Shuping asked Yan Shengnan to look after her younger brothers while she helped Yang Huiying carry several large packages off the train.

This is the opposite of Li Ruzheng's lonely situation.

Yang Huiying's son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and the whole family came to the station to pick up people.

Before she had taken a few steps, the luggage in her hands was taken over by the other party's family.

Yang Huiying once again confirmed her own and Wang Shuping's home addresses, and agreed that they must meet and keep in touch often after the trip to the south.

The story of the green train is very long.

Because of its slow speed and long running time, many sincere friendships have been formed and many beautiful loves have been promoted during this period.

A train carries not only the homesickness, but also all kinds of human life.

Next, an elderly man about 60 years old came to the lower bunk where Yang Huiying had lived.

Except when sleeping, he almost never puts down his pipe whenever he is awake.

But it choked several people in the car.

After two days of patience, Wang Shuping's mixed journey came to a temporary end.

Coincidentally, He Chen, who was taciturn and behaved a little strangely, also got out of the car.

But he didn't have any large package in his hands, and he left the upper bunk and disappeared at some point.

Wang Shuping stood in the aisle with her three children waiting to get off the bus.

Dabao almost pressed his face against the window glass, and after searching for a while, he excitedly pointed at Lin Xiangli, the most eye-catching person in the crowd in front of him and shouted.

"Mom! Look, it's Aunt Xiang Li..."

Then he turned around and shouted to Yan Shengnan: "Sister, your mother is there!"

In fact, Yan Shengnan had already seen his mother Lin Xiangli, and he tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise several times.

After being reminded by Dabao, she could no longer contain her joy and a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face.

When the door opened, the passengers squeezed down.

Erbao ran out first and excitedly threw himself into Lin Xiangli's arms with open arms.

"Fourth aunt, I miss you so much."

Lin Xiangli ignored the lipstick on her lips and kissed Erbao hard on the face, leaving a striking mark.

"I missed you too, Erbao! I've finally been waiting for you to come!"

"Fourth sister." Wang Shuping walked up with a smile.

Lin Xiangli's boyfriend Zhang Gaoyuan, who was following her, was quite considerate this time and took the package.

"Xiao Ping, how are you? You must be exhausted from the journey with three children."

"No, Nan Nan is sensible. Thanks to her help, I don't feel tired at all."

After saying that, Wang Shuping pulled Yan Shengnan behind her and pushed him forward in front of Lin Xiangli.

Yan Shengnan's face turned red, he lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, showing a trace of nervousness, and shouted softly.

"mom."
