A Time Travel Effort in the 70s
Chapter 3 Train Experience
Shen Jiaren went to the train station with other educated youth. Liu Zhaodi, who was standing in the corner of the pillar, breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending this time bomb away.
When Shen Jiaren got on the train, she discovered that this train was even older than the one mentioned on the modern Internet. It was the train that her parents had been riding in the rumors. It had a green carriage with windows that could be opened. It was crowded with people. The routes to get on the train were different, and the environment on the train was very simple and ordinary.
As soon as I got on the bus, a mixed smell of people, cars, toilets, and something indescribable rushed into my mind.
Shen Jiaren frowned subconsciously. It would be a bit exhausting to stay on the train for three days, especially in hard seats.
Fortunately, it is already September, and the weather is clear and bearable.
Shen Jiaren looked up at the educated youth around her, and the faces of the other educated youth were not much better.
One of them had short hair, a doll-like hairstyle, and a very small face. In today's words, a girl with a doll-like face, dressed in a way that looked like she came from a well-off family, and she covered her nose in a coquettish manner and said in disgust, "It stinks."
No matter how disgusted they were, there was no other solution so everyone could only bite the bullet and find their seats, sit down and put their luggage next to them.
The social security at that time was not very good, and it would be bad if someone took the bag away. After all, no one was rich, and it was possible that this was the only luggage bag he had.
Shen Jiaren's ticket was for a window seat. There was a girl sitting in the middle, and the outermost seat was empty. Opposite her sat three boys who looked young.
The delicate girl who had just pinched her nose to dislike the smell of the train, walked over with her skirt lifted and a handkerchief covering her nose.
Maybe it was bad fate, this girl's seat was the outermost seat in the row where Shen Jiaren was sitting.
The girl looked at Shen Jiaren, then looked at the seat, then pointed at Shen Jiaren and said confidently: "Switch seats with me, I want to sit by the window, I want to feel the breeze, I can't stand the strong smell in the car."
On trains at that time, if you opened the window near the window, the wind from outside could blow in, you could also enjoy the scenery, and there was also a place to lean on, which was indeed more comfortable than sitting by the aisle.
Aisle seats can also get wind, but the feeling is not as direct as those by the window.
Shen Jiaren is a person who acts according to her mood. If the girl had spoken nicely and in a negotiating tone at the beginning, Shen Jiaren might have agreed.
As a result, this person came up with such a self-righteous attitude that everyone else made way for her and praised her.
Shen Jiaren said directly, "Sorry, I can't stand it either. I want to blow dry too."
The girl didn't expect Shen Jiaren to reject her directly, and her face immediately drooped, "Why don't you have any sympathy? Can't you let me sit inside? Can't you help me?"
Shen Jiaren responded directly after hearing this: "How can you accuse others of anything? We are not related, but we are both people with lofty ideals who are working together to contribute to socialism. Why should I give in to you and put you first? What is your basis?"
After hearing this, the girl looked aggrieved and stood there feeling wronged.
When Shen Jiaren saw this, she pretended to fall asleep and ignored the girl.
If you want to be a green tea with her, you have to see if her rank is high enough!!
Seeing that Shen Jiaren no longer paid attention to her and seemed really unwilling to give up her seat, the girl gave up and sat in her seat angrily.
At this time, the boy sitting opposite Shen Jiaren called out to her, "Comrade, my seat is also by the window. If you don't mind, you can sit here. Let's switch seats."
When the girl heard this, she quickly said, "Thank you so much, I'm so sorry, I'm not like some people who are so selfish and only think about themselves."
As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to sit over.
The boy smiled and said, "It's okay. We are all educated youth who went to the countryside together. When we are away from home, we should help each other. Any help is helpful."
When Shen Jiaren heard this, she knew that the "some people" the girl was talking about were referring to her. She couldn't help but feel amused. Why did this woman feel that others were helping her in vain?
It was obvious that the boy who gave up his seat had some ulterior motive and was overly attentive. Only she was a little stupid and thought that he was genuinely helping her.
Shen Jiaren curled her lips inwardly and decided to just mind her own business.
Not long after I sat down, I heard a whistle and then the sound of "what's more, what's more", and the train started to leave the station.
Shen Jiaren leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Seventy years ago, there were not so many modern buildings in China. Most of the buildings in towns were bungalows or two-story buildings. In the countryside, there were clusters of earthen houses, and down below were farmlands with people busy working in the fields.
The sky was blue, and the air smelled of coal from a train, as well as what is now called green pigment.
Smelling the fresh air and looking at the picturesque scenery, Shen Jiaren felt much better about the unknown and the influence of this delicate girl.
Gradually, the educated youth who went to the countryside together also started chatting. After all, the train journey to the destination was three days. If they didn't get to know each other and talk about something, how could they kill the boring time? After all, the only entertainment activities at this time were chatting and gossiping.
Through the conversations of the people around her, Shen Jiaren learned that the delicate girl who asked her to give up her seat was called Jiaojiao, Chen Jiaojiao, and the boy who gave up his seat was called Liu Weijun, and the girl sitting next to her was called Li Hongying.
There were more than a dozen people in the group, and each person had a different expression on their face. Some responded to the policy and were ready to work hard to build a new countryside; some were worried about being unfamiliar with the place and what not; and some were reluctant to leave their homes and families, and cried silently.
Life is full of different things. Different people have different ways of walking on different roads.
Shen Jiaren looked at Chen Jiaojiao who was chatting with others enthusiastically, and couldn't help thinking that life in the countryside was so uncertain. For a delicate city girl who had never done farm work and was brought up in pampering, the countryside would be filled with unknown dangers. But one thing was certain, Chen Jiaojiao would definitely not have a good time there.
As Chen Jiaren was thinking, she couldn't help but hear the train attendant shouting out the lunch supplies.
Shen Jiaren looked at it for a while. The supply of this era was very specific. There were only a small amount of white flour buns, black flour buns, corn flour buns, and flatbreads. Because they were sold on the train, the price was higher than
A steamed bun and a flatbread cost one cent each, and they required one or two grain coupons.
Both black flour steamed buns and corn flour steamed buns are five cents each, no ticket is required, but each person is limited to buying two.
Shen Jiaren asked for a big cake and a cornmeal steamed bun. Shen Jiaren took the cake and the steamed bun and smiled. Fortunately, at least she could eat fine grains when she was out. At her uncle's house, she couldn't even eat fine grains.
When I thought of the delicious food all over the manor, because there were many people on the train now, I couldn’t attract too much attention when eating and drinking, and I could only eat cakes and cornmeal buns. I couldn’t help but feel that it was like holding a mountain of gold but not being able to use it, and I couldn’t help but feel that life was a bit hard.
It seems that life still needs comparison. Only by comparison can we know which life is better. The object of comparison is very important.
Chen Jiaojiao's family should be well-off. She glanced at the supplies on the train, muttered a few words, and did not buy anything on the train. Instead, she took out two packs of biscuits from the bag beside her.
Probably thinking that Liu Weijun gave her a seat, Chen Jiaojiao directly stuffed a pack of biscuits into Liu Weijun's hand, and then she looked at Shen Jiaren with a boastful look, "Look, you can eat biscuits for giving up your seat, a pack. You are wearing such shabby clothes, have you ever eaten biscuits? Are you regretting it now?"
Shen Jiaren ignored Chen Jiaojiao and didn't even look at her, thinking it was a waste of her attention.
Isn't it just a pack of biscuits? Sister, I am a farmer. Do you know what a farmer is? A self-sufficient farmer. There is everything in it. It's just that it's not convenient to take it out. It doesn't mean that I want your pack of biscuits! !
Shen Jiaren took the cup and asked the flight attendant for a cup of hot water. The flight attendant provided hot water at this time, free of charge, but she couldn't ask for too much because there were too many people who needed it.
Shen Jiaren ate the pancake and drank hot water, and she felt much more comfortable and no longer felt so uncomfortable.
When Shen Jiaren was in the car, she would either close her eyes to rest, look at the scenery outside the window, or stand for a while to relax her butt from sitting for so long.
However, the smell in the car is really bad. Since it is not a sleeper, my sleep is affected in some way. I can tolerate eating, drinking and sleeping, but going to the toilet is really unbearable.
Fortunately, the bathroom can be locked, no matter how dirty and messy it is, Shen Jiaren went straight into the manor and sat on the smart toilet to start solving the major issues in her life.
Because there would be many people to squeeze in after going out, and some people have very sensitive noses, Shen Jiaren did not eat or drink in the manor. After finishing her life's major event, she came out of the toilet and went straight back to her seat to continue sitting.
