The memories of the two old men reminded Li Wen of the hard potatoes from the Battle of Changjin Lake, and he felt sour in his heart.

It is precisely because of countless such lovable people who do not care about personal life or death that the current peaceful and stable Xia Daxia exists.

And now there are millions of these cutest people in New Zealand.

At the call of the country, they put down the steel guns in their hands, picked up the long-lost hoes, and continued to guard the border for the country.

After everyone finished eating and chatted for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the two old men had obviously had their eyelids fighting.

Except for Li Wen, who took the car in Chang'an, the other riders came from other places.

It’s easy to feel sleepy after eating, and with the turbid air in the car, it’s even easier to fall asleep.

After the excitement of getting on the bus wore off, several people began to yawn and climbed into their beds to rest.

Li Wen was not very sleepy. After several people took a rest, he was the only one left. At this time, he was also very bored and began to wander around in the carriage.

"Do you need cigarettes, melon seeds, and story books?" At this time, the salesman on the train began to sell things from a small cart.

Things on the train are relatively expensive, and everyone is tight on money, and most of them are just greedy. Few people pay for it, and even if someone does buy it, they only buy a pack of melon seeds for five cents at most.

Li Wen saw that there were still cigarettes for sale, which was quite strange. He just happened to run out of cigarettes, so he immediately stopped the salesperson and bought two packs.

As for storybooks and peanuts and melon seeds, Li Wen really has no shortage of these things.

Li Wen carries several novels in his shoulder bag at any time. In the warehouse, melon seeds and peanuts are almost piled up into a hill, and there are still hundreds of acres of small world confiscated!

What Li Wen didn't expect was that buying cigarettes on the bus didn't require a cigarette ticket, but the price was really high, almost twice as high as buying with a ticket.

Li Wen didn't care about the price difference of a few cents, so he took out two packages of large front doors for one and a half cents.

With nothing to do, Li Wen spent two hours visiting all the carriages.

There are 13 cars in the whole train, and the two cars at the back actually carry cargo, which makes Li Wen feel very fresh.

I don’t know when standing tickets were invented. Li Wen always felt that there shouldn’t be standing tickets because they would affect the riding experience too much.

Li Wen walked carefully along the way. There were people sleeping on the ground, under the chairs, in the aisles, in the train compartments, and even in the toilets.

In this situation, it's not just a matter of taking a bus. After getting off the bus, Li Wen estimated that many people had to lose a few pounds, which was really painful.

After going around in a circle, Li Wen couldn't stand the smell and noise, so he returned to the sleeper compartment when the conductor informed him that the lights were about to be turned off.

Although the trains in the 1960s used steam turbines, lighting has replaced the backward kerosene lamps of the 1940s and 1950s with light bulbs.ωωw..net

The train Li Wen rode used the wheels to drive a generator to generate electricity, which was then stored in a battery for lighting.

It may be because there are too many carriages, the power consumption is large, and the power supply is insufficient. Li Wen always felt that the light bulbs on the roof of the car were very dim and eerie.

After the conductor turned off the lights, Li Wen also lay quietly on the bed.

At this time, the entire train was quiet, and the loudest sound was the clang of the rails and the train. Of course, the sound of some people snoring was also very clear.

The next morning, Li Wen opened his eyes when the conductor comrade announced breakfast.

Because he didn't pay attention, he suddenly hit the roof of the car when he got up, which made Li Wen feel very unhappy the whole morning.

The top bunk was only about 40 centimeters from the roof of the car. Li Wen was so sleepy that he thought he was at home when he woke up. This is the biggest disadvantage of sleeping in a hard sleeper, the space is too small.

Sitting on the train, apart from chatting and sleeping, you can also play cards or other games.

Li Wen took a pair of cards from the space, which made everyone very happy. They played from morning to noon, and they didn't put them away until the conductor notified the order.

There are passengers from all over the country on the train, and it is difficult to deal with the food stamps collected. Therefore, food stamps are not required for the packed lunches. You can just pay directly, but the price is higher than usual.

Li Wen consulted the conductor and asked for a meat dish and a vegetarian dish for 30 cents. Several other middle-aged riders also asked for a portion, except for the two old people who didn't.

The two elderly people paid their own expenses for the ride. Unlike the other three middle-aged people, they could go back to their workplace for reimbursement.

Li Wen did not help order food. After the conductor left, he quietly followed him and ordered a meal for each of the two veterans.

In this day and age, when lunch boxes are sold on trains, you buy the ticket first and then the meal is delivered.

After Li Wen bought the ticket, about twenty minutes later, a chef in a white coat walked over while pushing a dining cart and shouting.

"Comrade! We have six meals here." Li Wen walked out of the compartment and greeted with a smile.

The chef approached with a smile while pushing a trolley. The trolley was piled with aluminum lunch boxes. Half of these aluminum lunch boxes had no lids, and they were filled with various kinds of food. Not to mention looking at it, they smelled delicious.

There is a bamboo basket hanging next to the cart, and a large number of chopsticks are placed in it. These chopsticks are of course not disposable.

"Comrade, your food!"

The chef in white coat collected the meal tickets from Li Wen and several middle-aged people, and handed over the meals one by one according to the tickets purchased.

"Two old men, the braised pork and fried beans are very beautiful, hurry up and eat." Li Wen handed the two boxes of lunch to the two old men who were about to eat steamed buns soaked in boiling water.

"How can you give it to us!"

When the two old men saw the lunch box handed over by Li Wen, their expressions suddenly changed.

These old men were very courageous and stubborn at the same time. As long as Li Wen did not give a reasonable explanation, these two old men would not eat.

"Two old men, feel free to eat this meal! This is not for free, this meal is your reward."

"I am an author and I am currently preparing to write a novel about veterans.

In the past two days, the two old men told me a lot of stories, and I learned a lot and inspired me a lot.

I will publish your stories through articles in the future, so you two deserve it.

This is my author certificate, old man, you can take a look, this is my science fiction work." Li Wen took out his author certificate and work from his bag and handed them to the hesitant old man.

"oops!"

"Young man, you are Comrade Nuanyang of the future technology." Mr. Zhang shouted excitedly after seeing Li Wen's photo and author certificate.

"Let me see!"

"Let me take a look!"

"I'm so good!"

No one expected that Li Wen, a young man, was actually an author and a nationally famous writer.

"You two old men can finally eat now! It's good enough that you two don't ask me for royalties." Li Wen said with a smile.

"good!"

"eat!"

The two old men were also impressed by Li Wen's actions, so they put down their arrogance and started eating.

"This braised pork tastes really good! It's chewy and fragrant." The two men ate it with gusto, which showed that they hadn't eaten such good food in a long time.

After dinner, Li Wen did not play cards, but wandered around in the carriage to eat.
