Chapter 171 Going to Beijing
This year, both the brother and sister received big red envelopes. The grandparents gave 20 yuan each, the eldest uncle's family also gave 20 yuan each, the eldest cousin gave 10 yuan each, the second uncle gave 20 yuan each, and the fifth uncle gave the same amount as in previous years.
Together with what their father gave them, the total was 100 yuan. Although they were not short of money, they were still very happy.
This year's New Year was much more lively than previous years. We ate and drank every day. After two graduation banquets, it was time for the college students from the family to leave. An Xueyan and her brother also left with them.
They were not going to school, but to go to Beijing with Mr. Feng to treat patients. On the fourth day of the New Year, Mr. Feng received a notice of rehabilitation and a letter inviting him to Beijing.
Ever since some of the people in the shed were rehabilitated and left, some smart people in the village would occasionally hang around the remaining people, bringing their own things to them, hoping to build up a relationship with them, but Mr. Feng and the others all refused.
They have become indifferent to many things over the years. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance. What is the difference between the people who come to them now and the villains they met in difficult times before?
City train station platform.
"When you're away from home, you should be an independent man. Take good care of your sister and Mr. Feng. If you want to see your sister's house, go find a man named Ma Liu. He's the house-hunter your Uncle Gu hired."
An Qingping was patting his son's shoulder and giving him instructions with a serious face.
An Honglei promised earnestly, "I know, Dad. I will take good care of my sister and Grandpa Feng."
"Alright, the old man is fine and doesn't need anyone to take care of him. Don't worry, Qingping. With me here in Jing City, few people dare to bully my apprentice."
Old Feng was speechless seeing an old man so worried. He didn't even look at whose territory Jing City belonged.
An Xueyan held her father's hand and acted coquettishly: "Dad, you have to take good care of yourself when I'm not home. Tell grandpa and grandma not to be reluctant to eat. Also, please take good care of Uncle Huang and Teacher Liao. I will miss you when I'm away. I have to check that you haven't lost weight when I come back, otherwise I won't do it."
Under the reluctant gaze of their families, they boarded the train to Beijing. An Xueyan and her siblings followed Mr. Feng and took the sleeper berth, while the others had to take the hard seats.
This was An Xueyan's first time riding a train of this era. The smell inside was not pleasant, and this was for the sleeper berth. When she first got on the train, she saw someone carrying a live chicken on the train, so you can imagine what the hard seats are like.
There were 6 beds in their private room, they occupied three of them, and the other three were still empty.
After the train started, An Honglei took out a kettle and said, "Sister, Grandpa Feng, you two can rest for a while. I'll get some hot water."
"I'm going too." An Xueyan stood up and wanted to follow.
Mr. Feng waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll be here to watch over your luggage. Be careful."
The brother and sister went to the place where they could get hot water, and observed the situation in the carriage along the way. Many beds were empty. It seemed that there were still not many people taking the sleeper berths, and many people were reluctant to pay the price.
There are also cases where some leaders can take a sleeper berth but buy a hard seat because the difference in travel expenses can be used as a personal subsidy and they can save some money.
Fetching water went smoothly and we didn't encounter any bad people. People who can afford to take a sleeper berth are generally quite well-mannered.
When I returned to the sleeper, I saw my aunt An Qingyu, brother Jinbao, sister Dongmei, and second cousin in the compartment.
"How are things over there, aunt?" An Xueyan asked.
An Qingyu sighed with a gloomy face and said, "Don't mention it. Your sleeper berth is still more comfortable. The smell in our compartment is really unbearable. Some people took off their shoes on the train. The smell is enough to drive people to the west."
As expected, it was just as she thought. An Xueyan suppressed a smile and comforted her, "I heard that hard seats are like this. Just hold on, and you'll get to Beijing soon. You're college students, and only those who endure hardships can achieve success."
"Do you want to suffer this?" An Qingyu glanced at her.
Is she the kind of person who would endure hardship without any hardship?
He shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "I'm not a college student. I'm still a young seedling of the country. I need care to grow up. I can't endure that hardship. You are the pillars of the country. You can't compare to me."
"Pfft."
The cousin next to her laughed out loud, tapped her forehead lightly with her finger and said, "You little girl, you just want to trick others into suffering so that you can enjoy yourself."
"I was born this way. I am a pampered person who likes to enjoy life. There is no way to change it." An Xueyan spread her hands.
They sat here for a while and then went back to the hard seat carriage. An Xueyan followed them with her camera. She wanted to take a souvenir of the first batch of college students who had resumed the college entrance examination.
An Honglei also followed behind. When they arrived at the hard seat compartment, a mixture of various smells rushed into their heads. An Xueyan quickly took out the mask she had prepared and put it on.
"Why didn't you take out this good thing earlier? Do you have any more? Give me one quickly." An Qingyu's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to his niece without hesitation.
"I forgot to tell you." After saying that, he took out several more from his pocket. The boys all refused. They felt that this made them look too delicate and would affect their image. The girls each took one, and they also left one for their cousin's wife who was sitting there.
After passing through several hard-seat carriages, we finally arrived at their location. As soon as we stepped into the carriage, we saw my cousin and his friends arguing with a tall and strong man.
Several people quickly pushed through the crowd and walked over there.
"I already told you this seat is occupied. Why should we give it to you? We paid for this seat. If you want to sit here, go buy it yourself."
"If you say someone wants to sit, then someone wants to sit. I've been watching for a long time and I don't see anyone sitting here. Show me your ticket. You can't show me your ticket and you're still yelling at me. I think you just want to take up all these seats."
The tall and strong man started to pull Jianhua's cousin's clothes. The older cousin next to him wanted to help, but the other party also had two companions who stopped him directly.
Zhang Xiu was also very anxious. "This is really a seat bought by our family. They will be back soon. You two can talk it over nicely."
"Bullshit, this is an empty place, get out of here quickly." The tall and strong man pulled Jianhua's cousin aside. Jianhua's cousin, who didn't exercise much, was no match for this tall and fierce-looking man, and was easily pushed away.
The other party sat down directly in their seat.
At this time, their group also squeezed over. An Jinbao walked in front and patted the man on the shoulder, saying, "Hey, I was away for a while, and I didn't expect someone to grab a spot. What's going on? Are they bullying us brothers because we are fewer in number?"
