Two days later, Sanchuan Railway Station

At that time, the waiting room was open and unobstructed, and anyone could simply walk up to the simple platform to wait for the train. Those with tickets were called "crowding the train," while those without tickets were called "climbing the train."

Those who don’t have a ticket can buy one after getting on the train. Another possibility is fare evasion.

Du Yimeng, wearing a red woolen coat and carrying a black backpack on her chest, looked at the crowded train door. She was familiar with this because she often squeezed into the train when she went to school in Shandong Province.

She took a deep breath, protected the backpack in front of her with both hands, and strode forward with a heroic and confident look. She was going to squeeze into the train.

At this moment, someone grabbed her collar from behind, and she turned around and looked at Yu Lang helplessly. Didn't he understand what it meant to make a strong start, then lose momentum, and finally run out of energy?

If he pulled her back, wasn't he afraid that she wouldn't have the courage to squeeze into the train again?

"Go through the window..." Yu Lang suppressed his smile as he looked at her like this. With her small body, even if she squeezed into the car, she might be squeezed into a meat patty.

This time his father asked him to accompany her on a business trip to Jinshi. He felt that this mission was great, mainly because it was just the two of them.

Du Yimeng's eyes lit up. Was he going to help her climb out the car window?

In the past, every time she took the train to Shandong Province, Du Weihai would always let her step on his legs, then on his raised hands, and climb in through the window. At that time, she became the object of others' envy.

When she returned from Shandong Province, she became the person who envied others again.

They went straight to the window of the seat corresponding to their ticket. At that time, riding the train was very strict about choosing the seat according to the number. The window was open at this time. There were a few heads leaning over the window on the left, looking out. There was no one on the right.

The time and the place were right, all that was missing was the right people. Her eyes fell on his legs.

Then she looked up at him as if to say she was ready, was he?

Unexpectedly, he took a step back and stood behind her. She was about to turn her head, but two big hands were placed under her armpits, and then she was lifted up.

When her whole body was hanging in the air, her brain was still in a daze, but her body had already moved. She put her feet into the car window and got in.

When she turned around again, his handbag was in front of her, and she quickly reached out to take it.

"Don't go anywhere, I'll be there soon." Yu Lang said worriedly, then walked towards the car door. The window was too small and he couldn't get in, so he could only go through the door.

"He has a good physique and is obviously a good material for the army!" A man in his early thirties sitting on the left said with emotion.

There were three seats in a row, but their family of four was sitting there, simply because their two children had bought children's tickets, and at that time, children's tickets did not occupy separate seats.

What this means is that if there is another person coming, the family of four will have to squeeze inside to make room for the later passenger.

The train just stopped at the station and the whole family leaned against the window to look out.

The man happened to have seen the scene just now. He lifted a person weighing hundreds of pounds with ease. It was obvious that he was a good material for being a soldier.

"If this is to make a set of clothes, it will definitely require several feet more cloth than ordinary people!" said the woman sitting next to the man.

"Does his family have enough food?" the little boy asked curiously. It was very common in that era for a child to worry about food and drink at such a young age.

"A man of his age must have eaten a lot of food in one meal. He has eaten up all the food in his house, and everyone else has to go hungry. His family is so miserable." The little girl sitting by the car window said in a soft voice.

The little girl's innocent words were approved by everyone.

The family of four was bored and started discussing Yu Lang's height. After talking for a long time, they remembered that there was another person opposite them. The couple looked at Du Yimeng awkwardly.

"Big sister, was that your boyfriend just now?" The woman wanted to find a random topic to cover up the embarrassment.

"No..." Du Yimeng said. When they were discussing Yu Lang just now, she was also secretly looking at the person opposite her.

They looked like a married couple with two children, though they loved gossip. But it didn't matter, she loved gossip too.

Trains of this era were coal-powered and ran relatively slowly, typically around 50 kilometers per hour. Due to technical limitations and the impact of external factors, train delays were common.

At normal speed, it takes one day and one night to reach Jinshi, or it may take two days and two nights, depending on the performance of the train.

During such a long time, if the people around you are easy to get along with, it can still be a very pleasant journey.

When Yu Lang walked over, he happened to hear the conversation between the two. His eyes flashed, but he did not stop.

The originally noisy sound in the carriage suddenly quieted down because of Yu Lang's appearance, and the family of four also shut up.

Du Yimeng suppressed the upward curve of her lips. She felt much safer with this bodyguard around.

She placed both of their bags in her window seat and then sat down. They had bought soft seat tickets, which were more comfortable than hard seats.

The train seats of this era were relatively simple and practical, and were generally divided into three types: hard seats, soft seats and sleeper berths.

There is only a small pillow on the back of the hard seat. There are six seats in a row, and the distance between the seats is relatively close. If you sit for a long time, your buttocks will suffer.

Soft seats offer increased comfort compared to hard seats, with cushions on the seats, making them more comfortable. Tickets are also more expensive, and while the price is only a few yuan, it can still divide people into two groups.

Sleeper berths are of course the best and the tickets are the most expensive, but in this day and age you can’t buy a ticket just by having money; you also need status. For people like Du Yimeng and Yu Lang who are on business trips, their status is not high enough.

Of course, if Yu Lang produced another ID, he could buy a sleeper ticket, but in order to avoid trouble, he chose a soft seat.

As for the best kind, they basically won't appear, because people are divided into three categories from the moment they get on the train.

"Are you carsick?" Yu Lang sat next to Du Yimeng and took out two oranges from his coat pocket and handed them to her.

The two children opposite all looked at the two oranges. Seeing this, the woman quickly took out two pears from the package and stuffed them into the hands of the two children. She was worried that the two children would be ignorant and ask others for food.

In this day and age, who is so bold as to ask others for food?

"I'm not carsick, how about you?" Du Yimeng didn't hesitate to take it and put it into her backpack.

Fortunately, neither she nor the original owner suffered from motion sickness.

If you get motion sickness, it can almost kill you. Even though there are windows for ventilation on the train, the smell inside is still very strong.

But it was early winter now, and compared to the hot summer, the comfort level was much better. When she returned from Shandong Province in early July, every minute on the train was torture.
