Chapter 43: Sleeper Tickets Are So Hard to Buy
For several months, Huihui has been doing an excellent job supporting the family.
Not only does he take good care of himself, but he also earns so much money.
In particular, Huihui suggested giving me new treatment so that I can stand up again, which is what I have always dreamed of.
Who wants to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of their life?
If I could stand up again, walk around, do this and that, cook for myself, pee and poop by myself, do the things I should do for my son and daughter-in-law, and take care of my grandchildren in the future, how happy I would be!
……
It's more than 60 miles from Lijiazhuang to Changzhou Railway Station. Riding a bicycle is not only tiring but also slow.
So, in the afternoon, Liu Junhui borrowed a small tractor from her mother's home and drove it to Changzhou Railway Station.
The Hexin Town Railway Station, which is only about ten miles away from Lijiazhuang, is very small and the railway does not reserve sleeper tickets.
Li Yonggang returned to the army and boarded the train at Hexin Town Railway Station for convenience. After all, he was alone and a young man, so he only needed to buy a hard seat ticket.
Zhou Huaying was a paralyzed person, so it was impossible for him to sit in a hard seat. Even when he got on the train at Hexin Town Railway Station, there was not even a hard seat available.
A few days ago, Liu Junhui discussed with her sixth sister-in-law and others, and Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law boarded the train at Changzhou Railway Station.
Changzhou Railway Station is a medium-sized station. Two sleeper tickets are reserved for each train on the railway.
Two sleeper tickets are too few, so you must book them in advance and they will be valid for the day you book.
Liu Junhui parked the tractor in the train station square and trotted into the ticket hall.
There are more people queuing up to buy tickets here than at the small station in Hexin Town, a long line.
Liu Junhui waited in line for more than an hour before reaching the ticket window.
When asked what day it was, he was dumbfounded.
Half a month later!
Liu Junhui doesn't want to wait that long.
The person selling tickets at the window was a fat woman in her forties.
Liu Junhui explained the situation to her, saying that the surgery was urgent and that it was a matter of life and death, so she asked her to take care of him.
The fat woman glared and said, "Do you think this train belongs to me?"
Liu Junhui pleaded twice, but the fat woman simply ignored her and shouted to the back, "Next!"
This attitude was rare in that era.
Liu Junhui was crying, thinking that if it really didn't work out, she could just buy one in half a month.
At this time, a middle-aged man gently pulled Liu Junhui's arm and motioned her to go to the side.
When the young talented girl saw him, she thought he looked a bit like a scalper in later generations.
I thought there wouldn’t be scalpers in this era.
Hungry and indiscriminate, Liu Junhui followed the middle-aged man to a deserted place with a glimmer of hope.
"Girl, you're anxious to buy a sleeper ticket for the Nanjiang train station, right?"
Liu Junhui asked in return: "Excuse me, what do you do?"
"Changzhou citizens, I was also planning to take the train to Nanjiang Station, but unexpectedly, the situation changed and I can't go. I was just about to refund my ticket when I heard your conversation with the conductor."
After hearing this, Liu Junhui looked at the middle-aged man again and felt that he did not seem to be a scalper.
"Which day's ticket?"
"Tomorrow's, get on the bus at 11 a.m."
Liu Junhui suddenly had an idea.
"Is it the lower bunk?"
"It's the lower bunk."
"By the way, is it a hard sleeper or a soft sleeper?"
If it's a soft sleeper, it's too expensive.
"It's a hard sleeper."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a hard sleeper ticket from his pocket and showed it to Liu Junhui.
Liu Junhui took the ticket and looked at it over and over again, but there was no sign of a fake ticket.
However, Liu Junhui felt that it was better to be cautious.
"I'm young and I don't know if there's anything wrong with this ticket."
"Absolutely no problem! You can go and verify it!"
"How can I verify it?"
"It's very simple. Go back to the ticket office, find someone who just bought the same ticket, say a few nice words to them, and then compare the two tickets."
"Oh well!"
The two returned to the ticket hall and stood near the ticket window.
In this way, you can hear whether the ticket buyer has purchased a ticket to Nanjiang Station.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got it.
He looks like an old cadre.
Most people don't buy sleeper tickets.
The man who looked like an old cadre bought half of the pre-booked tickets and walked out slowly.
Liu Junhui hurried to catch up.
The middle-aged man selling tickets followed a few meters away.
When they arrived outside the ticket office, Liu Junhui said softly behind them, "Comrade leader, please excuse me."
The talented young lady would definitely not stop the old cadre in the ticket office.
The man who looked like an old cadre stopped, turned around and looked at Liu Junhui in surprise.
Asked: "Girl, which department are you from?"
Judging from this sentence, he is indeed an old cadre. However, he is definitely not a very high-ranking official, otherwise he would not come to buy tickets in person.
Liu Junhui said truthfully, "I'm from Lijiazhuang. I want to buy someone else's sleeper ticket, but I'm worried, so I want to compare it with yours."
After hearing this, the old cadre turned around and looked at the middle-aged man standing about ten meters away.
Then, he took out the ticket he had just bought from his pocket and handed it to Liu Junhui.
Liu Junhui took out the ticket the middle-aged man gave her and compared it over and over again. Sure enough, they were exactly the same.
The old cadre said, "Let me take a look."
Liu Junhui handed both tickets to the old cadre so that he could compare them.
The old cadre took a closer look and said, "Don't worry, girl. There's no problem."
"Thank you, Comrade Leader!"
"By the way, how do you know I'm the leader?"
"He has the air of a leader, you can tell at a glance!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The old cadre took his ticket and left.
Liu Junhui saw the ticket price clearly, fifty-six yuan, so he took out a dozen bills from his pocket and counted them together to make fifty-six yuan.
At this time, the middle-aged man came over.
Liu Junhui handed fifty-six yuan to the middle-aged man.
After counting the money, the middle-aged man looked up at Liu Junhui and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I waited at the ticket window for more than two hours before I saw you, and then I waited for another half an hour..."
Liu Junhui understood immediately, calculated in his mind, and based on the 20% ratio, he took out ten yuan and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the ten-yuan note, then took out a five-yuan note and handed it to Liu Junhui: "Girl, it's not easy for you either. I only need five yuan."
The middle-aged man stuffed five dollars into Liu Junhui's pocket and left immediately.
Liu Junhui thought, he is not a scalper, but he is smart.
This is probably how the yellow cattle developed in later generations.
Liu Junhui originally planned to buy two sleeper berth tickets next to each other, but now it seems that is impossible.
Well, after all, I got a sleeper ticket, and it was a lower berth, which ensured that my paralyzed mother-in-law could lie on the berth. This was already luck.
As for your own berth, you’ll talk about it when you get on the train.
……
When Liu Junhui got home, she first told her mother-in-law the good news: "Mom, I bought the ticket! It's for the lower bunk!"
