Chapter 42 Green Train

After eating and drinking, the group of people arrived at the train station to wait for the train.

This train station is more formal than the passenger terminal.

It was both my father's and my father's first time to ride a train. When they entered the platform and saw the long green leather train, they both had strange looks on their faces.

"This car is good, can it hold a lot of people?" Grandpa asked with a smile.

"Master, this trip can carry one or two thousand people." Wu Jiangshan supported his grandfather and answered with a smile.

"Oh, this is really good at pretending."

The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and Lan Jianguo looked envious.

The Lan family and the Wu family bought tickets for different carriages. Several people made an agreement.

After getting off the bus, wait at the exit.

When he got on the train, because the ticket numbers were not consecutive, Wu Jiangshan asked around again.

After saying good things, I changed seats with other people and finally sat with my father and grandpa.

The train started moving, and the grandfather who was leaning against the window watched the scenery receding outside the window with relish, with a happy look on his face.

Dad was like a stupid young man, looking at every place inside the train.

Wu Jiangshan suddenly felt that he should take his family out for a walk more often.

Not long after the train started, a steward came over pushing a trolley, shouting loudly: "Melon seeds, drink, mineral water~ Tuck your legs..."

Wu Jiangshan stopped the car and bought three bottles of Coca-Cola in glass bottles and a bottle of mineral water.

When Dad heard that this bottle of water cost one yuan, it was hard to say no in front of the flight attendant.

He kept touching Wu Jiangshan with his feet. Wu Jiangshan's expression didn't change and he pretended not to feel it.

"After you finish drinking, put the glass bottle on the table and come over to collect it later."

The flight attendant took the screwdriver and opened the soda in a skillful manner. After giving a reminder, he continued to push the small iron trolley away while shouting.

"It's just a few hours, it's all done. You can see how much water it costs to drink water."

Wu Shaotang really felt that Wu Jiangshan was a prodigal, and he could afford a big meal with just a few bottles of water.

"Dad, don't worry about money when you are away from home. Come and try Coca-Cola. Drink it and you will be happy."

Wu Jiangshan smiled playfully and handed his grandfather a bottle of Coke and a bottle of water: "Master, try this, it tastes really good. If you can't get used to it, just drink water."

Grandpa didn't say anything. Ever since he left the village, he had let his eldest grandson make the decision in everything.

The old man took a sip of Coca-Cola. Unexpectedly, it was still full of energy, and the expression on his face was very wonderful.

Wu Jiangshan looked at it and laughed secretly, then asked his father to drink,

Seeing that the money had been spent, Wu Shaotang opened it, so he didn't say anything and took a sip. Then he felt a surge of anger and couldn't help but burp.

This time Wu Jiangshan couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.

"This stuff is as strong as wine."

"Master, does it taste good?"

"It tastes good, just like sweet water." Grandpa smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Wu Jiangshan also smiled and rolled his eyes. What's the point of making money? Isn't it just to let everyone in the family enjoy the happiness?

Although it was just a bottle of soda, Wu Jiangshan thought that before he was reborn, he had not even taken a needle from home.

He has been sweet-talking since he was a child, coaxing his grandparents to leave everything good to him, but he has never eaten a bite of the things he spent money to buy.

When he reached middle age, he gradually began to become sensible, but by that time, the person who wanted him to be filial was long gone.

The sentence "A son wants to be raised but his relatives won't wait for him" can only be written by someone who has thoroughly experienced that kind of state of mind.

No matter how novel something is, you will get bored even if it lasts for several hours.

Especially in the summer, there is no air conditioning in the green train, and the hot air blows in when the windows are open.

The carriage was overcrowded, and the noise was particularly irritating in the hot summer.

Wu Jiangshan wanted to take him for a walk back and forth, but when he saw that the aisles were full of people, he gave up his thoughts.

After all, the old man is getting older, and he soon felt tired after traveling on buses and trains.

Seeing that his grandfather was losing energy, Wu Jiangshan stood up and asked his father to sit outside, leaving the two seats inside for him to lie down for a while.

The old man refused to do it at first, because there were so many people, and he was embarrassed to lie down, but Wu Jiangshan and Wu Shaotang repeatedly persuaded him,

He was really tired, so he lay down on his third son's lap and closed his eyes to take a rest.

Wu Jiangshan went to the toilet, and there were several men squatting outside the toilet, puffing away smoke.

He looked at it greedily and touched his pocket, but it was empty.

At this time, a young man on the side noticed it and handed him a cigarette.

Wu Jiangshan was not polite either. After thanking him, he got angry and leaned in the air to join the army of smokers.

At ninety o'clock in the evening, the noise in the carriage became much quieter.

The carriage felt even hotter and stuffier, and occasionally the sound of crying children came from unknown rows of seats.

After sleeping for a while, I woke up and felt much better. I wanted to go to the toilet.

Wu Jiangshan went with him. At this time, there were more people standing in the aisle. Most of them, like Wu Jiangshan, gave up their seats to family members, women or children to lie down and rest.

But there are not many people like my grandfather who still travel far away.

While avoiding people, he also avoided the salutes of large and small bags that were so full on both sides of his head that he stretched out.

I finally got to the toilet and had to queue up.

When I came back from a trip to the toilet with my father, I found my father nodding and dozing there again.

Grandpa asked Wu Jiangshan if he was sleepy. Wu Jiangshan smiled and shook his head.

After more than four hours, the train finally pulled into the station. Everyone started to get their luggage, and there was another burst of noise and chaos.

Wu Jiangshan and the others paid the least courtesy. They only had a bag containing two pieces of clothing and money, which he carried on his back.

Following the crowd and squeezing out of the train, Wu Jiangshan relied on his tall stature to protect his father from being touched along the way.

When they arrived at the exit, they saw Lan Jianguo and his son waiting for them in a place with few people.

Outside the train station, there were many middle-aged women holding signs to pick people up to stay in hotels in the middle of the night.

The nearby high-rise buildings were shining with neon lights in the dark night, and the bright street lights outside the station made my eyes dazzled. How much electricity would this waste?

I didn't think anything of it when I was in An County. It wasn't until I arrived in the provincial capital that I realized how completely different it was from Hushan Town.

"Old man, my Xiaoyong has a severe fever at night. I have to take him to the hospital to register now. If you are not in a hurry, just find a place to stay for one night before going."

"Okay, okay, you go quickly, it's important to treat the child, don't worry about us."

Wu Shaotang also said: "Go quickly, we will find out where to go tomorrow."

"Okay, see you later."

Lan Jianguo greeted the three Wu family masters, supported Lan Yong, who was sitting drowsily by the flower bed, and hurried to the roadside, took a taxi and left.

Wu Jiangshan asked a few eldest ladies soliciting customers. They were all from the nearby station hotel.

The three of them had to stay at least in a double room with two beds. The cheapest one costs eight yuan, and the most expensive one costs fifteen yuan a night. It has a shower and a bathroom.

Wu Jiangshan chose the fifteenth one and decided to check out the environment first.

I took my father and me and followed the eldest sister for about a hundred meters, and came to a residential area that looked very high-end.

The hotel the eldest sister mentioned is in a row of two-story buildings opposite this community.

After entering the door, Wu Jiangshan first looked at the room. There were two beds, a TV, and an electric fan. The toilet was a pit with tiles.

There is no water heater, so taking a shower is just a big plastic bucket filled with water, and three kettles filled with hot water.
