Parallel Rebirth 1980

Because roads in towns and villages are impassable, if you want to go to other cities, you can only take a special van to the railway station in Baiwang County.

Baiwang County is a small county. The station was established in 1971. There is not much traffic in front of the platform, but there are still some pushcart vendors selling on both sides of the platform.

In this era, there were very few things for sale. They were basically whole grains, and commodities such as dried fruits were rare.

Zhang Qing'an came to the ticket purchase station. The conductor was a beautiful girl. She seemed to be in her early twenties, with red cheeks and a fashionable headscarf.

"Sister, I want to buy a ticket for Zhangsha City and a soft sleeper carriage."

"One yuan and two cents."

There are two fares for arriving at Shacheng from Baiwang County. The first one is 4.5 cents for a hard-seat carriage, and the other is 1 yuan and 2 cents for a soft-seat carriage. Zhang Qingan read the label next to it in advance.

Zhang Qingan bought the second type. The soft sleeper is a little more expensive but it is safe. Didn’t you see the words Beware of Pickpockets posted along the way? There are no cameras in this era. If you don’t pay attention to your pocket, you will be picked up by something you don’t know.

The sharp weapon cuts it open, and the contents of the pocket will naturally disappear. Call the police? You haven't woken up yet. You may have to wait a lifetime for this kind of needle-in-a-haystack case to come to no conclusion.

"Brother, do you want to buy something to eat? There are sweet potatoes, bread, and melon seeds and peanuts..." the vendor introduced while pushing a small truck.

Toot toot~~~

A long chimney appeared in the field of vision. After the train stopped, a steady stream of people got off the train. The vendors swarmed up and showed off their special skills to promote. The person who squeezed to the front was an aunt.

“Clean rooms, 5 cents a night, including hot water”

Seeing the middle-aged man with hesitant eyes being pulled away, Zhang Qingan turned around and boarded the train.

The seats on both sides of the green leather car in the 1980s were in one piece, similar to what they look like today. One side was longer for three people, and the other side was for two people. This may be because of the soft-seat compartment. The green seats indicate that

There is a cushion, yes, this is the "softness" of the soft-seat carriage.

"A16"

A13...14...16, found.

Zhang Qing'an walked along the sidewalk to his seat. His seat was in the three-person position close to the sidewalk.

A pair of young men and women were sitting on the seats. The girl sitting inside was wearing a black and white floral skirt, with short hair tied behind her ears, showing a beautiful profile. She was holding a book in her hand. The book cover could be seen from the book cover.

It can be seen that this is a girl who pays great attention to cleanliness.

Sitting in the middle is a boy with a flat forehead, wearing a black plain pullover with a light blue sweater exposed at the collar. He is drinking water from a teacup.

The boys and girls both look like students, but it’s the end of April. Why are students on the train?

The doubts in Zhang Qing'an's heart disappeared in a flash. Why others were here had nothing to do with him. He was just a passerby who met in the same seat.

Zhang Qing'an put the package on his lap and took out a white steamed bun to satisfy his hunger. He hadn't eaten anything since the morning and was already hungry.

The train didn't start immediately. After about two minutes, two people came to the empty seat opposite. The man inside was wearing a suit and a white shirt. He looked like a successful man, but the smell of hairspray on his head made him a little uncomfortable.

He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and was patched like a farmer. He started to take a nap as soon as he got to his seat.

Dudu~~

The train started slowly. Zhang Qing'an finished one steamed bun and took another. When he took it away, his mother originally prepared meat and vegetables, but Zhang Qing'an felt it was troublesome, so she brought water and steamed buns.

"Sweet sweet potatoes, sweet steamed buns, snacks, white rice porridge..."

The conductor pushing the dining car held a handful of money tickets in his hand, and was stopped by some passengers as he passed by. The conditions of the passengers in the soft sleeper car were pretty good, and many people stopped the dining car to buy food.

"How much does rice porridge cost?"

The man in a suit stopped the restaurant waiter and asked.

“A bowl is only a dime, and if you bring side dishes, you’ll get two cents extra.”

"Have a bowl with side dishes."

"Okay."

The man in the suit took out a wad of money from his pocket, took out 2 cents and handed it over. After finding the money, the conductor filled a bowl of rice porridge and added some side dishes to the man in the suit.

"Xiaojun, do you want rice porridge or steamed buns?" the male student asked the female classmate who was reading.

"Just a steamed bun."

"A bowl of rice porridge, two steamed buns, and some side dishes."

"Okay, a total of 2 cents."

"I'll buy a sweet potato." Zhang Qingan said to the man with half-closed eyes opposite him.

"Two cents on sweet potatoes."

Zhang Qing'an didn't buy anything because he had brought food with him. After eating two steamed buns, his stomach was full. It was still eight hours away from Shacheng City and would have to be reached at night. Zhang Qing'an held the package and prepared to rest for a while.

The train was swaying as people got on and off.

"Haha, you guessed wrong again, this is 1."

The man in the suit smiled and took away the money and cards on the table. The farmer man next to him lowered his legs and raised his chest. The boy next to Zhang Qingan looked very ugly.

"How could this happen? How could it become 1 when it was clearly a 3?"

The face of the male classmate turned red. After dinner, the man in the suit suggested playing a game. The content of the game was to guess the numbers on the cards. The numbers were 123. The man in the suit would show the cards and cover them in front of them.

Move slowly and let someone else guess.

At first, it was just the man in the suit and the farmer man playing. After two attempts, Nong Mingman guessed correctly without any surprise. The farmer man felt that just guessing was boring, so the two of them added bonuses.

After winning the lottery, Nong Mingnan won three or four games in a row and won a few cents. Although he lost the fifth game due to a mistake, he won again in a row.

This completely attracted the attention of the male students opposite. The key is that the farmer man won the last few dollars, and the men in suits also generously gave money. In a short time, the farmer Mingnan won dozens of dollars, which was a big win.

This stimulated the male classmate who was looking across from him.

So the male classmate also joined in, and he did make money in the first few times. But when the male classmate started to increase the bet, he started to guess wrong continuously. After a while, he lost all the money he made before and even paid more than ten yuan.

Go in.

"Forget it, stop playing."

The girl who was reading the book saw that her companion had lost money, so she closed the book and advised him.

"Why don't you forget it, I'll be at the station in a while." The man in the suit said with a smile.

"No, do it again."

The male student was not convinced, and he took out all the money he had from his pocket.

"Zhuo Wentao, are you crazy? This is your living expenses for the next few months." The girl's eyes widened, feeling that her usually calm classmate was too impulsive.

"Keep coming." Zhuo Wentao stared at the man in the suit.

"All right"

The man in the suit nodded with a smile and revealed the three cards: "Okay, 1, 2, 3. Now I will turn it over. This time I will slow down a little. This is 1, this is 2, this is 3, now I

Move it a few times, okay, guess 3 this time, you can press it."

The man in the suit moved the cards very slowly, and the position of 123 was all in Zhuo Wentao's sight.

"Here are twenty-three sixes, go all-in on the first card, 3..."

Zhang Qing'an, who had already woken up, couldn't help but smile when he saw the boy next to him playing the first card. If it was according to what he just saw, the first card was indeed 3, but he would definitely lose because of this little trick.

He had seen it in his previous life.

"Little brother, you watched it just now, why don't you buy some for fun? The guy opposite you made more than fifty."

The man in the suit saw Zhang Qingan awake. Judging from his clothes, he must be a student from a wealthy family. Such a person is the easiest to deceive.

"Open the cards."

The male student felt that he was sure to win this time and urged the man in suit across from him.

The man in the suit was originally going to start shooting, but when he saw Zhang Qingan taking out his wallet from his pocket, he immediately put his hand back.

"Just for fun, you saw it just now, it all depends on your eyesight." The man in the suit said with a smile.

Zhang Qingan asked: "Uncle, how much do you bet?"

"Of course, can I still rely on you for this little money?" The man in the suit smiled and took out a wad of money, all of which were ten-dollar bills. The number seemed to be several hundred yuan: "Don't worry now."

"Then let's play, but I don't want to guess 3. Can I guess 1?"

"Guess 1?...Okay, I'll break the rules once for you."

Zhang Qing'an drew five ten-yuan cards, his eyes fell on the third card, and he pressed the fifty-yuan card on it: "I guess this one is 1."

Zhuo Wentao on the side was shocked when he saw Zhang Qingan directly pressing fifty, and sighed that this boy was so rich, but when he saw that the other party was pressing the third chapter card, he was relieved.

The numbers he saw were 3 in the first, 2 in the second, and 1 in the third. The results seen by the two people should be the same, which immediately made him feel a little more nervous.

"Okay, let's buy it and leave. I'll start shooting. Just wait and see~"

The man in the suit stretched out his palm and directly touched the third card first. He had a proud look on his face. He had made more than seventy yuan at a time. As expected, there were more people in the soft-seat carriages who were stupid and had more money.

"Boss, I'll see for myself."

Zhang Qing'an was caught off guard and took the lead in holding down the third card, turning 180 degrees and raising half of his face under the panicked gaze of the man in the suit.

"By the way, it's 1! It's 1!"

The one who exclaimed was not Zhang Qingan but Zhuo Wentao on the side. He was about to touch the first card in excitement, but was held down by the man in suit who was already on guard.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Zhang Qing'an looked at the other person with a smile. This was a soft-seat carriage with conductors in front and behind him. He would not be frightened by the danger signs in the other person's eyes at all. The other person would be getting off at the next stop anyway.

"Don't look anymore, you all win."

"I just said that I can definitely win it back, so hurry up and give me the money."

The man in the suit looked at Zhang Qing'an thoughtfully, took out his money and paid the bet.

"Are you coming yet?"

Zhuo Wentao, who got the advantage, wanted to take advantage of the victory, but the man in the suit put away his cards and waved his hand: "No more playing, no more playing, I have lost more than a hundred now."

Zhuo Wentao felt a pity when he saw this. The female student next to him breathed a sigh of relief and secretly glanced at Zhang Qing'an who looked indifferent. She always felt that Zhuo Wentao's ability to win back the money this time was related to the boy sitting outside. But why?

She couldn't tell either.

Zhang Qing'an put away the money and made fifty for no reason, but he knew that it was hot money. Although the man in the suit seemed indifferent now, who knew what bad things this guy had hidden in his belly.

"Are you all students I know?"

The farmer man opposite suddenly smiled and opened the topic. He looked at Zhuo Wentao and asked.

Zhuo Wentao didn't think too much and shook his head: "No, brother, you are also a student, right? Which school are you from?"

"I'm going to Aries City to visit relatives. I'll get off at the next stop."

Zhang Qingan gave a simple reply, and then continued to close his eyes and rest.

Ten minutes later, the train slowed down.

‘The train is about to arrive at the station, passengers getting off the train please prepare in advance...’
