Chapter 161 Our generation probably won't be able to ride the high-speed rail
From time to time along the way, you can hear the voice of the flight attendant waking up the passengers. Some people get off the bus and others get on. As the lights change, the night seems extremely long.
Qiao Jinling fell asleep and woke up again. She tried to sleep as close to the side as possible to give her father more space. Qiao Jinling also pushed forward to sleep, leaving a little space in the middle of the small bed.
In the haze, Qiao Jinling opened her sleepy eyes, opened the curtain and looked, a glimmer of light showed in the east, it seemed that day was about to dawn.
Some elderly people had accumulated enough energy for the night and had little sleep, so they woke up early. They gathered at the connection between the carriages. Whether they were smoking cigarettes or cigarettes, they were all puffing away smoke and enjoying the first thing in the morning.
Dayton.
Qiao Jinling was choked and felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, her father didn't have the habit of smoking. At most, he drank some wine.
She was still a little sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes, but she couldn't stand the sounds of "HangHang" and "he~~tui!". These old smokers seemed to be trying to suck out all the phlegm accumulated in their lungs.
Like firing a cannonball, spit it accurately on the ground, then crush it and scratch it with the sole of your shoe.
Qiao Xiangqian had already gotten up, and saw Qiao Jinling sitting up as well, rubbing her daughter's messy hair with her big hands, and said distressedly: "Lingling, you haven't slept all night, okay? Your little face is not even clear anymore. Why do you think we have to suffer this?"
This crime? Otherwise, I would be lying in a warm bed now, waiting to eat the hot buns made by your mother, how happy my little life would be."
Qiao Qianqian slept so hard that night that his back ached, and the novelty he felt when he first went out was gone. Now he just wanted to get into a warm bed, and all his ambitions to see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland were forgotten.
"Dad, I'm not tired. I'm not tired at all."
Qiao Jinling had a haggard face and was not convincing at all.
"Give the girl some hot water."
Hu Suiyong also got up and filled hot water in cans and bottles. It was not easy to drink hot water when there were many people.
Qiao Xiangqian originally wanted to refuse, but he was worried that Hu Suiyong would think he was suspicious of him, so he had to take the bottle and take a sip himself. It had no taste, and then handed it to Qiao Jinling.
Qiao Jinling was generous and drank a few big sips. Even if Hu Suiyong had great courage, he would not dare to do anything in public.
"Brother Qiao, please don't think too much about what happened last night. I really want to keep your bag for you. Seeing that you sleep so soundly, if someone takes your things, it will be very embarrassing during the New Year.
.”
Hu Suiyong saw Qiao's hesitation to move forward, so he simply explained it clearly to avoid any awkwardness along the way.
His magnanimity was beyond Qiao Xiangqian's expectation.
"Sui Yong, I didn't think much about it."
Qiao Xiangqian felt guilty even when he said these words.
"Okay, let's not say any more. We are all brothers, just see how I do along the way. Come on, I'm going to brush my teeth first."
Hu Suiyong ignored the past grudges, picked up the washing supplies, and went to line up at the pool.
Qiao Qianqian and Qiao Jinling looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but laugh. They were both a little embarrassed to have their thoughts revealed.
The sky is getting brighter, and thousands of rays of rays break through the horizon and shine into the car through the windows. People begin to chatter, noisily and play again, creating a moving scene of fireworks in the world.
"Hey man, how did you sleep last night?"
Liu Kaijin came to visit again. He really couldn't stand the tired look of the boss and his lover. If he stayed here any longer, he would be in trouble.
"Haha, it's okay."
Qiao Qianqian was a little embarrassed, he didn't intend to talk about what happened last night.
The train temporarily formed a closed space. People had eaten almost everything they needed to eat and said almost everything they needed to say. The long journey wore away people's energy and energy, and what sustained them was the call of the end.
Occasionally, when they stopped at a station, they would move around on the platform. Their feet were already a little swollen, and they had an unreal feeling of being down to earth.
Qiao Jinling slept and woke up, woke up and fell asleep again. She never thought that the distance would be so far. She had been to Hainan on a business trip before, and she arrived quickly by plane.
Sure enough, transportation will change people's experience of life.
Finally, the train slowly arrived at the station amid much anticipation.
"Damn it, we've really gone to the end of the world. This journey has been a torturous journey. This is a sleeper berth, and we can lie down to sleep. Those who have sat all the way here are really suffering from their old noses."
Hu Suiyong lamented that his ambition to start a business was wasted along the way.
"Yeah, it would be great if there could be a fast train like the one written in "Imagine the Future" magazine. It's called a high-speed train. It'll be there in the blink of an eye!"
The man who had spoken when he first got in the car spoke again. Qiao Jinling was pleasantly surprised to find that so many people were reading the article he had written.
"It's very good, but our generation probably won't be able to enjoy it. How can high-tech things like high-speed rail get the turn of plain-headed people like us?"
Hu Suiyong shook his head and expressed disbelief.
"Brother! We must have confidence and believe in the country. Think about it, it has only been open for a few years. In the first few years, we didn't even have enough food to eat. If we wanted to eat meat, we had to buy it with tickets. But now who can't eat a bite of meat?
, so we just keep moving forward and it will definitely get better and better.”
The man's words infect those around him.
We all came from that era. You had to pay for everything, buy according to the plan, the steel bungee in your pocket was cleaner than your face, and you could only eat dumplings once a year during the Chinese New Year. Where can you find these colorful things?
Qiao Jinling was listening, feeling a huge uproar in his heart. People today would definitely not believe that just twenty or thirty years later, the sea would turn into a mulberry field, and everything would be completely different.
When that time comes, they will miss the present time very much, which is commonly known as "nostalgia". There are even some online writers who specialize in writing novels based on the era to make up for the regrets in their hearts and look back on the past.
"The terminal is coming soon. Everyone, pack your luggage. You can get off the bus at the front and rear doors. Throw away the trash. Hey, lift your legs."
The flight attendants made a big bag with their hands and squeezed through the crowd to collect garbage, which also reduced the workload.
"Phew! We finally arrived in Guangzhou! Oh, it's so hot."
Qiao Jinling felt the difference in temperature as soon as she got off the car. Although she changed into thin clothes, she still felt hot.
"Damn! It's really so hot!"
Joe moved forward embarrassed.
"Dad, I told you in the car that it's very hot here. I asked you to change clothes in advance, but you just didn't change."
Qiao Jinling was both amused and distressed when she saw her father in bulging clothes.
"I have something on my body. It really shouldn't be sewn on my sweatpants. Now I can't even take it off."
Qiao patted his pants forward, his face flushed, and his outfit was incompatible with the people around him.
Hu Suiyong also got off the train. He still had a bedroll and wore short sleeves. He and Qiao Qianqian looked like they were from two different seasons.
