Chapter 257: Traveler Rui

Nanhu Railway Station.

As soon as the train from Pingjiang to Beijing stopped, Ma Lihua began to issue an order: "Lao Wen, you hurry up and clean up, and when there are fewer people, go buy grilled fish, remember to pick the fish with fat waist, pay attention to the head and tail, don't ask for burnt." Don't use food stamps and meat stamps, don't let people get pitted. ”

The man lying on the top bunk closed his book, sat up, and complained, "What else did you buy grilled fish, didn't you bring a bag to eat?"

"A bag full of fruit, even canned food, is fruit, and the chicken should be saved for dinner. Besides, isn't the grilled fish in Nanhu quite famous? what's wrong with giving Xiaoman a taste, isn't it?" Ma Lihua said as she looked at the platform.

With two soft sleepers and four hard sleepers, this express train is one of the best trains from Hedong Province to Beijing. It took a lot of effort for the Wen family to buy three seats in the same soft sleeper box, and now there is still one empty.

Ma Lihua wants to have the entire box to herself, but it is impossible to pay for the remaining seat, so she can only hope that this person will come up later, and it is best to get in the car at night, sleep all night and leave.

Looking down from her point of view, there were only a few people queuing up to get on the bus, and Ma Lihua saw the end of the line from the head of the line, and she didn't know if anyone would come up to her box.

And a little in front of the platform, the more hard sleepers, it is a crowded hard-seat car.

In the 83s, the trains still used steam locomotives, which would emit thick black smoke during the journey, so in order not to blow into the passenger cars, the carriages behind the front of the locomotive were the row baggage carriage, the postal carriage, the hard seat carriage, the hard sleeper compartment and the soft sleeper carriage.

Hard-seat cars also sell non-seat tickets, and when they are in demand, they will be crammed to fuller than the buses commuting to and from work. The conductor had to get off the train at each stop to see if the springs in the carriage were compressed.

As for when it will be in demand, of course, it is not only during the Spring Festival and student holidays, in fact, the trains in the 80s were always nervous. In hard-seat cars, passengers who are in a hurry to board the train do not even have time to get on the train through the door, but have to climb in through the various lathes.

The passengers in the carriage felt the same and were very helpful, always pulling or helping to get the passengers below up.

Ma Lihua's soft sleeper car, as well as the hard sleeper car in front of it is much easier, especially the soft sleeper car, every four beds, that is, two high and low beds form a box, and the sanitation inside is also quite clean, except for the slower speed, some noise when driving, there is nothing to complain about.

The longer train stops also has some benefits, such as being able to get off the train to rest and buy groceries.

The man on the upper bunk changed his clothes and got off the train, bought grilled fish and came back, but the train was still not finished, and it stopped steadily in the lane, with no intention of moving at all.

"Freshly baked, bought two. The man placed two oily grilled yellow croakers on the small table. Then pour water on two Jingdezhen soft sleeper ceramic cups and push them to his daughter and wife.

"It's good to buy one, what are you going to do when you buy two?" Ma Lihua said complainingly.

"One for Xiaoman to eat, and one for you to eat. The man said he was going to the top bunk.

Ma Lihua showed a slight smile, grabbed the man, and said, "Eat together, I can't finish it alone." ”

"I eat it a lot, I don't need it, you two just eat it. The man sat down and took the book from the top bunk to read.

Ma Lihua smiled, pulled her daughter Xiaoman over, and the two of them shared a grilled fish.

The hot grilled fish is delicious, Xiao Man's mouth is full of oil, his round face is constantly deformed because of chewing, and his black eyes are still looking around.

For a thirteen-year-old girl, it is still very interesting to take the train for the first time, and it is in a soft sleeper box.

"Bang bang".

There was a double knock on the box door, and it was pulled open.

A young man dragged a trolley suitcase, appeared outside the door, looked inside, came in and smiled: "I'm in a box with you." ”

"Oh, little brother, you're from the bunk here. The man glanced at the ticket in Yang Rui's hand and gave up his position in a friendly manner.

Ma Lihua is actually not very happy, how comfortable it is for the three of them to stay in a box happily, and how uncomfortable it is for a living person.

However, she also smiled and did not speak. When people buy tickets to take the bus, they are also qualified to oppose it. On the other hand, those who can sit on soft sleepers now are not ordinary people, according to the rules, department-level cadres like her Lao Wen can only sit on hard sleepers, not soft sleepers, and it is also thanks to several layers of relationships that they bought three tickets.

The young man in front of him thought that he also bought a soft sleeper ticket because of his relationship, and Ma Lihua knew the difficulty of buying a ticket, so she naturally looked at the other party.

Wen Xiaoman hurriedly put the fish in his mouth back into place, and then covered his mouth with his hand, trying to swallow the hard and tough fish meat.

The image of greed, it is better not to be seen by handsome guys.

This is the naΓ―ve thinking of a 13-year-old girl.

Yang Rui put away the trolley suitcase, put it under the bed, took off the backpack on his back, and began to pack his things.

His current outfit is actually no different from when he was in college in later generations, he is still wearing a sportswear, and he still has a bag and a suitcase.

However, compared with the migrant workers who used sacks to load things at this time, Yang Rui's equipment was much more advanced.

Ma Lihua's eyes also moved with Yang Rui's movements.

She knows trolley boxes, which are sold in larger shopping malls in Beijing, including thirty or forty yuan, as well as three or four hundred yuan, as well as trolley boxes sold to foreigners in the embassy area, which are often sold as high as hundreds of foreign exchange coupons.

Under Ma Lihua's gaze, Yang Rui took out the thermos cup in an orderly manner, filled it with water, took out two more books, and put them on the bedside, and then, he took out the newly bought camera, skillfully installed the lens, and took a photo with a click.

Yang Rui planned to take pictures of the train stations he passed by all the way as a souvenir.

However, his action surprised the Wen family in the carriage. Today's cameras are film cameras, where you shoot 22 or 23 frames of a film and then you have to change the film, and each roll of film is expensive.

Taking a photo that does not include yourself and your family is a luxury except for a professional videographer.

The man of the Wen family looked at the camera in Yang Rui's hand even more curiously, and asked, "The model of your camera is Hongqi 20." ”

"Yes, do you know?" Yang Rui was also surprised, although it was a domestic camera, the output of Hongqi 20 was very small, and even fewer people knew him.

The man nodded vigorously, put down the book and said, "I know, why don't I know." We also have one, baby, I heard that hundreds of units have been produced in the country, where did you buy it? By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wen Si, Wen Wen, Thinking Si, I work in Beijing Daily, and my home is Pingjiang. ”

At this time, people don't care much about the ** problem, and it is also very common to exchange names and work units on the train.

Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "It's good if you call me Yang Rui." I went to Beijing to study. ”

"University?"

"Yes. ”

"Which school?" Wen Si asked vigorously.

Yang Rui said helplessly: "Peking University." ”

"Ah...... Wen Xiaoman, who was pretending to be a lady, let out a suppressed cry and looked at Yang Rui with almost adoring eyes.

Ma Lihua's expression was also instantly much more harmonious. College students in this era have been endowed with beautiful words such as civilized knowledge, progress and courtesy, and even college students who cannot meet this requirement are actually changing subtly under the requirements of society.

In the same carriage, college students are much better travel companions than buyers.

"There are more than ten days left for college registration, why did you go to school so early?" Ma Lihua took the initiative to ask.

"I want to go to the school first. "Yang Rui is thinking about going to school in advance and rebuilding the real room.

"Do you have relatives in Beijing? It's better to stay at the homes of relatives and friends, because the hostels outside are very expensive and unsafe. The school now doesn't let students live on campus in advance?" Ma Lihua said with concern.

"I don't know the specifics yet, I'm going to report when school starts. ”

"That's fine. Wen Si picked up the topic and chatted about school with great interest, and the topic slowly turned to the camera.

The Hongqi 20 camera is the pinnacle of domestic cameras, and it can also be said to be the last glory. It is imitated from the Leica M3, and absorbs part of the design concept of the Leica M4, the production is extremely sophisticated, the mechanical properties can be comparable to the Leica, but the shape feel is still excessive, it is the top 135 camera made in China, and it is the darling of the Chinese and foreign camera collectors. By the early 90s, the price of the Hongqi 20 camera reached $5,000, and by 30 years later, it could sell for $1. With a high price tag of $50,000, it is one of the few cameras that is more expensive than the prototype.

Of course, the Hongqi 20 is also very expensive, a set of one machine and three mirrors in China costs more than 2,000 yuan, because the production is extremely low, only allocated to the Xinhua News Agency and other high-grade news organizations, and its price at the Hong Kong exhibition is as high as more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, enough to make ordinary Chinese bankrupt.

Yang Rui is not only for archaeological purposes, but also for the purpose of collection, only to buy a Hongqi 20 back, after a try, it really feels outstanding, in addition to the sense of weight is too real, better than most of the cameras he has been exposed to in later generations, so he specially took it out to play and take pictures.

Wen Si is out of professional habits, both curious about Yang Rui and curious about the camera, and can't help but keep asking.

"Bang bang. ”

This time, it was the car window that was knocked on.

Yang Rui turned his head and was surprised to see the trio of Yao Yue, Yao Le and Yao Mu.

"We came late and didn't find you in the waiting hall, so we came in. Yao Yue whispered.

"You're here to see me off?"

"Otherwise, I'm going to Beijing next week, why are you leaving so early?" Yao Le grabbed the conversation, speaking very quickly.

Yang Rui had to explain it again and express his gratitude at the same time.

Yao Yue shook his head again and again, and said, "It's us who want to say thank you, you must pay attention to your physical ...... when you arrive in Beijing."

She babbled on and on a lot of things, some of them repeatedly, and she didn't notice them.

"Didi-"

When the whistle sounded, Yao Yue hurriedly ended his instructions, took the wooden box from Yao's mother's hand, handed it to Yang Rui, and said, "This is the cooked food we made for you, so that you can eat it on the road...... Well, it's to thank you for volunteering with Yao Le. ”

"What did you do?" Yang Rui accepted without hesitation.

Yao Yue said suddenly: "Some of them were done by me, and some of them helped me. ”

Yao Le kept waving his hand, brushing up on the zΓ i feeling.

Yao's mother also smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Have a good trip." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you. Yang Rui waved to them awkwardly, and the situation in front of him really surprised him.
