rebirth of cataclysm

Xiaojun and his grandfather chose not to have lunch. After six o'clock, when everyone was having dinner, they really drank the free boiled water in the car and ate the cold and hardened buns, and the buns looked still good.

It's not bought outside, it should be made at home. It's quite big. They each eat two, and the portion is about the same as the four sold in a bakery outside.

Along the way, Xiaojun and his grandfather took advantage of the opportunity of people next to them to go to the toilet or go to the car door to smoke, so that their sore legs could relax and rest.

In order to give them more rest, Hu Mingchen would sometimes deliberately run to the station at the junction of the carriages for half an hour.

There are really a lot of people on this train. The slightly loose seats at the door junction are all occupied by passengers without seat tickets. Some put their luggage on the ground as cushions, sit on them and lean against the wall, hugging their legs and dozing off.

Others simply sit on the floor, not caring about the issues of dress and image.

The clanking sound of wheels and rails is noisy to some people, but very hypnotic to others. After ten o'clock in the evening, some people in the carriage are still chatting about mountains far away, but some people are already

sleepy.

"Are you sleepy? If you are, you can sleep against me." Hu Jianqiang gently rubbed Hu Mingchen and said.

Hu Mingchen yawned: "It's okay, I can sleep against the wall. How about you? Not sleepy at all?"

"Oh, drowsiness has come, but I can't really sleep well sitting upright like this."

"That means you're not sleepy enough. Otherwise, you can sleep standing up, let alone sitting down." As he spoke, Hu Mingchen nuzzled behind Hu Jianqiang. Hu Mingchen turned his head and saw Xiaojun grabbing the back of the seat.

Already dozing off.

Xiaojun's grandfather was okay, holding him up with one hand, fearing that he would fall over if his head tilted. His eyes were looking here and there to distract him, lest he himself would also feel sleepy and doze off.

"Is this okay?"

"If you stand for ten hours, I guess you can do it." Hu Mingchen said with a wry smile and sympathy.

"Fortunately, you spent more money to buy a ticket with seats, otherwise... my feet are numb just thinking about it." Hu Jianqiang said with emotion when he thought that the person standing might be himself.

"If you don't want to sleep, let them sit and relax for a while, and we can go to the dining car to have a midnight snack." Hu Mingchen suggested.

"Is there still food in the dining car at this time? It's too late."

"If you want it, you can have it. Besides, it's only after ten o'clock now, and the conductors are probably eating midnight snacks in the dining car." Hu Mingchen stood up sideways and stepped over the pair of legs blocking the middle.

road.

The northerner opposite wanted to sleep better, so he even stretched his feet to Hu Mingchen and the others. Considering that they all traveled far away, and the other party was wearing sandals, their feet were not smelly, so Hu Mingchen acquiesced.

"Okay, let's go have a midnight snack." Since I couldn't sleep for the time being, and I wasn't hungry for the instant noodles for dinner, Hu Jianqiang agreed.

"Old man, come on, have a seat." Hu Mingchen said, patting the old man gently.

"you......"

"Let's go to the dining car to have something to eat. We won't sit down for a while. You guys sit down and squint." Hu Mingchen explained.

"Oh, thank you, thank you then. When you come back, we will ask, thank you, Xiaojun, Xiaojun, wake up and sit inside." The old man thanked him and shook Xiaojun awake.

It was past ten o'clock, and I thought there would be no one in the dining car. When Hu Mingchen and others slowly moved to the dining car, they found that there were quite a lot of people inside, with more than half of the seats occupied.

"What are you doing?" a conductor who was standing watching the card game asked Hu Mingchen and the others.

Next to the conductor, there were four people playing cards. Judging from their uniforms, one was a police officer, two were chefs in the dining car, and one was also a conductor.

"We want to have some late-night snacks, but I don't know if there is anything left to eat," Hu Mingchen responded.

"What's the late night snack? Are there any seats? Come here and find a seat." The conductor who was playing cards said without raising his head.

"I don't have time to cook food for you now. If you want to sit down, I'll pay you. If not, forget it." A chef who was playing cards held the pipe in his mouth.

"We are just here to find..." Hu Jianqiang felt a little angry as he felt looked down upon.

Hu Mingchen hurriedly stopped him: "My dear, we just came to find a seat. How much does it cost per person?"

"Twenty yuan a piece. There is no midnight snack, but melon seeds and peanut snacks are available. A pack of melon seeds costs five yuan, and a pack of peanuts costs five yuan. If you want to drink, there is also wine..." The person who first asked Hu Mingchen and the others

The conductor said.

"Okay, please arrange two seats for me. I'll bring you a pack of melon seeds and peanuts. Uncle San, would you like a bottle of wine? If you have beer, please bring me a bottle." Before Hu Jianqiang could answer, Hu Mingchen said

He took the initiative to add a bottle of beer for him.

Seeing that Hu Mingchen was happy, the conductor arranged for the two of them to sit down on an empty chair. There was already a person sitting opposite, and he lay on the dining seat and began to sleep.

The conductor took the money, placed a small bag of melon seeds and a small bag of peanuts in front of them, then took out a bottle of Shancheng beer from the freezer, opened it and handed it to Hu Jianqiang: "You can only sit until six o'clock, and you have to sit at six o'clock."

Leave, we will start selling breakfast then."

"We obviously have a seat, so why do we come here and spend such unreasonable money? Look at their attitude, it's just... no service attitude at all." Hu Jianqiang took a sip of beer and said very depressed

.

"Haha, Third Uncle, when you talk about service attitude with Boss Tie, isn't that the same as talking about civilization among gangsters and thieves? Now that we are the overlords, we are not afraid that no one will take the train." Hu Mingchen said with a smile, "It's just a few dozen dollars.

, forty yuan for two seats, just think of it as doing something good."

"Forty yuan is money. The problem is that we have bought seat tickets and can only sit here until six o'clock. By the way, if you really plan to sit here until six o'clock, the two seats will be given to the grandfather and grandson.

Two people sitting together? What are we planning?"

"If it's for something, it wouldn't be called a good thing. Okay, okay, don't worry about it. You're so stingy, you don't look like a boss. It's so nice here, it's relaxed, spacious, not crowded, and it's nice

There is no smell of sweat, and the dining table is so big, wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep on your stomach?" Hu Mingchen said very openly.

A person's state of mind is different, and his or her perspective on problems will be different. And a person's state of mind, or a person's tolerance, will often subtly affect how far that person can go and how bright his future is.

"Forget it, I've given you the money, what else are you talking about? By the way, how many days will it take for us to come back this time?"

"It depends on whether things go smoothly. If it goes well, you can come back in one day. If not, you have to stay for two more days." Hu Mingchen said.

"Do you have a definite goal and confidence? When I was buying the ticket, your father called me to give me instructions again and again."

"Ba Jiu Bu Li Shi, but who can tell clearly, we haven't reached the end of the land yet. No matter what, it's always good to go out and see the world. Staying in the mountains all the time, time

If they grow too long, they will become like frogs in the well." Hu Mingchen said.

"That's true. In the past, I only heard people say that Guangzhou is a big city and very prosperous, and Pengcheng is a special zone. The various conditions are completely incomparable to those over there. I have never been there, and I am here to see it this time.

Live a life."

"Third Uncle, look what you said, is it that serious? In the future, you will have to see a lot of things. This is in China. If one day I take you to the United States, Europe, England, France, etc., wouldn't you

Want to be so beautiful? Haha, your wonderful life has just begun. In this world, we can go wherever we want to go." Hu Mingchen said boldly and domineeringly.

"Wow, we have to go to those faraway places in the United States, England, and France. What are we going to do? I won't go when I have nothing to do. To go to a foreign country, you need to be able to speak a foreign language. I can't even speak Mandarin well. If I go to a foreign country, I won't do it.

If I don't starve to death and I can't find my way back, I won't go to those places if I can." Hu Jianqiang said with a slight sense of inferiority.

"Haha, go eat foreign food and find a foreign woman for you. If you don't know foreign languages, what are you afraid of? Just ask for a translator. As long as you have money, will those problems be a problem?" Hu Mingchen joked about Hu Jianqiang.

The two played for a while, and at twelve o'clock, the staff who were playing cards stopped playing. The conductor turned off the overhead lights, leaving only the small lights next to them, and the inside of the dining car suddenly became dark.

Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang yawned twice. They were also sleepy, so they followed the example of others and dozed off on the large dining table.

There was no noise from other people, and the two of them had a fairly solid sleep. It was not until five o'clock that Hu Mingchen was awakened by the noise of the staff in the car.

It turns out that the dining car staff started to get up early to prepare breakfast. After a while, people would come to have breakfast. Moreover, they also had to fill up the small dining carts they were selling. After seven o'clock, they would push them one carriage at a time.

Doing morning business.

"Oh, it took me so long to sleep." Hu Mingchen stretched out and looked out the car window. Although the countryside outside the window was still unclear, there was already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon.

"You're awake, oh, it's already early five o'clock. Come on, you can go back to our seats." After Hu Mingchen woke up, Hu Jianqiang was also affected. He also stretched and looked at his watch.

.

"Okay, let's go. It's going to be more and more noisy here anyway." Hu Mingchen stood up and twisted his waist and limbs and said.

The two of them walked to their cars in silence. At this time, most people in every car were still dreaming.

They walked into the No. 11 carriage where they were, and Hu Mingchen saw a man in his thirties squatting in the aisle beside their seats, holding something in his hand and digging into Grandpa Xiaojun's pocket.

There is no doubt that Hu Mingchen knew that he had encountered a pickpocket without thinking too much.
