Liu Qianqian got off the train carrying a suitcase, a backpack, and a trolley case. She opened her sleepy eyes and stared blankly at the Jiuyuan Railway Station in front of her.
Soon I saw a four-wheeled European-style carriage parked on the platform, and a female soldier held a sign that said welcome to Teacher Liu Qianqian.
Nowadays, various later styles of leather goods, such as wallets, handbags, briefcases, suitcases, backpacks, trolley cases, etc., have been mass-produced by leather goods companies and luggage companies. Luggage companies have also successfully gone public. They are currently popular
share.
The bags produced by this company, imitations of modern styles, are very popular. The market supply exceeds demand. Mainly businessmen buy them in large quantities.
They use a riveted steel frame with universal wheels as a support structure, and it is covered with leather such as cowhide. It also has zippers and small locks. The cables, pull rods and other leaking metal objects on the luggage are all exquisite copper products, which are golden.
It is beautiful and prevents rust.
These bags also include men's and women's briefcases, women's bags, etc. The materials range from the cheapest canvas bags, pigskin bags, sheepskin bags, to cowhide bags, with different grades and prices.
There are also luxury crocodile leather bags. These crocodile skins are all shipped from Southeast Asia.
She got on the train at Changxindian in the western suburbs of Beijing last night. Before catching the train, she had to walk more than a hundred miles overland. Fortunately, there was a four-wheeled European-style carriage.
The Daqin Railway passing through Zunhua and Xincheng was under construction. It was impossible for her to get on the train from Xincheng and go to Zhangjiakou and transfer to the Eurasian Railway to Jiuyuan. Therefore, she could only apply for a business trip with the dean of the School of History after receiving the telegram from her wife.
Then he quickly packed his luggage, took the two-horse carriage sent by the Secretariat, and rushed to the Changxindian Railway Station in the capital.
Although most of this section of road is a cement road, now that the Yang family has left its territory, the section of road passing through Sanhe County has been built into a cement road. From Chaobai River to Beijing, hardened roads such as white ash, sand, steel slag, and coal ash have also been built.
When you arrive at Deshengmen in Beijing, you can take the mini train to Changxindian and then change to a real train.
It was quite a journey. It was already midnight when we arrived at Changxin Store.
Fortunately, I got on the train tired, and the Secretariat booked a sleeper car. This was Liu Qianqian's first time taking a train, and it felt very novel. The width of the carriage of this 762 narrow-gauge train is only 2200 mm, which is similar to that of a large bus. So,
Sleepers can only be arranged in tandem with upper and lower double-decker sleepers.
There were both male and female passengers in the car, which made the little girl Liu Qianqian a little shy.
Fortunately, everyone slept in their clothes, and the bunks had curtains to ensure privacy.
She used to wash up before going to bed, and was surprised to find that there was a restroom and a toilet at each end of the carriage. There was also a boiler room opposite the toilet, and she could use her own cup to get hot water.
It is winter now, and the car is as warm as spring, because the boiler not only provides hot water, but also burns heating, keeping the temperature inside the car above 22 degrees.
There is a male steward and a female steward in the steward's room at the front and rear of each carriage. The male and female stewards are equipped with guns, each equipped with a revolver and an old sleeve. Long guns are locked in the gun cabinet in the steward's room. Short guns are locked in the cabin.
The holster hangs under the left armpit, on the shoulder and on the belt, fixed up and down.
Because the train speed is slow, it is easy for people to climb on the train. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of passengers, the conductors at the door must be equipped with guns.
Looking at these devices, Liu Qianqian felt that they were really novel.
As soon as we got on the train, the conductor, the conductor, and the conductor came to inspect the train. They mainly checked tickets and understood the needs of passengers.
This train has a total of two locomotives, one pulling in front and one pushing in the back. This is because the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has to go through a zigzag route up the mountain.
Behind the two locomotives are coal cars and water cars. In the middle are fifty passenger carriages. The front twenty-five carriages are hard-seat and soft-seat carriages. The rear twenty-five carriages are hard-sleeper and soft-sleeper carriages.
In the middle, there are three luggage car compartments, two dining car compartments, and a steward's office and steward sleeping compartment.
Therefore, the sleeper and hard-seat cars of this train are not connected. The sleeper car has its own dining car compartment. The hard-seat car in front also has its own dining car compartment.
Two of the three luggage compartments are reserved for hard seat passengers. Because the hard seats carry too many passengers, one is not enough.
Although it is harder, the subsidies for business trips are very high.
Liu Qianqian is one of the few girls among the first graduates of the academy.
She and Yan Xiaoyi, the current editor-in-chief of Metro Daily, were classmates.
After three or four years, all of the first batch of 500 students made progress and became the backbone of all walks of life.
She grew up from a thirteen-year-old girl to a seventeen-year-old academy lecturer. She went through the ranks from class administrator, assistant lecturer, lecturer, and first-level lecturer.
Yan Xiaoyi has been the editor-in-chief of Huncheng Xincheng Daily since childhood, and also became the deputy director of the Yangfu News and Publicity Department. She also chose the direction of history after staying in school as a student, and is now a first-level history researcher and lecturer.
She is compiling history textbooks for normal schools and is applying for the rank of associate professor.
Liu Qianqian's family fled from Jizhou to Zunhua. There are many people in the family, including grandparents, four uncles who have not found wives, and her family of six.
Her father was the eldest son and worked as a loader outside, and her mother was a housewife who took care of the elderly and children at home. She was only thirteen and a half years old at the time. In addition to her parents, there were two younger brothers and a younger sister in the family.
She graduated after six months of emergency training. She received a primary school diploma at that time. She was an outstanding graduate. At that time, she was only required to be fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing 1,500 common words, and to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide four mixed operations.
You can graduate if you have an abacus, memorization, and understanding and reciting a large book of family laws and rules compiled by Yang Fan.
This group of people were trained as emergency needs, and were divided among various units as soon as they graduated. After all, there was a shortage of literate people everywhere. At that time, the master gave priority to those who could immediately put into work.
As for reaching a certain level of education, you can continue to organize further studies after work.
Liu Qianqian's family was in trouble, so she applied to stay in school as soon as she graduated and became a class administrator. The administrator handled the complicated affairs of various colleges and served the students and teachers in the class.
At that time, her job provided food and accommodation. The college had a dormitory for singles, with eight girls in one room. The room was only 15 square meters, equipped with four wooden bunk beds and two wardrobes.
She heard that this kind of design that uses the smallest area to house the most people is called Tongzi Tower.
I heard that this kind of tube building is a dormitory for single faculty and staff. If you get married in the future, you can buy a house by yourself. If you can't afford to buy a house, you can also apply for a youth dormitory with one bedroom and one living room. If you have children, you can also apply for two bedrooms and one living room.
What about public rental housing with three bedrooms and one living room, four bedrooms and one living room, and five bedrooms and one living room?
Among them, for large public rental housing with four bedrooms and one living room or above, you need to have an elderly person at home to apply. Or you need to be an associate professor or above.
