Nanhu Railway Station.

As soon as the train from Pingjiang to Beijing stopped, Ma Lihua began to issue an order: "Lao Wen, please clean up quickly. When there are fewer people, go buy grilled fish. Remember to pick fish with fat waists, pay attention to the head and tail, and don't need to burn if you don't need to use food coupons and meat coupons, don't let people cheat."

The man lying on the soft bed closed the book, sat up, and complained, "What else do you buy grilled fish? Didn't you bring a bag of food?"

"A bag full of fruits, even the canned food is fruit. The chicken should be kept for dinner. Besides, isn't the grilled fish in Nanhu quite famous? What's wrong with giving it to Xiaoman? Isn't it?" Ma Lihua looked at the platform while speaking.

This express train has two soft sleepers and four hard sleepers. It is one of the best trains from Hedong Province to Beijing. The Wen family spent a lot of effort to buy three seats in the same soft sleeper room, and there is still one empty now.

Ma Lihua hopes to enjoy the entire private room alone, but she cannot 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 for a night before leaving.

From her perspective, there were only a few people queuing up to get on the bus. Ma Lihua saw the end of the team from the beginning and didn’t know if anyone would come to her private room.

And a little further ahead of the platform, you will be a hard seat carriage with a crowd of people.

In the 1983 trains also used steamed car heads, which would spray out thick black smoke when they were traveling. In order to avoid blowing into the passenger car, the car behind the front of the car was a charter car, a postal car, a hard seat car, a hard sleeping car and a soft sleeping car.

The hard-seat carriage also sells seatless tickets. When it is in short supply, the carriage will be stuffed more than the buses to and from get off work. The conductor has to get off and observe every time he stops to see if the spring in the carriage is tightened.

As for when it will be in short supply, of course it is not just during the Spring Festival and during the student holidays. In fact, trains in the 1980s were always tense. In the hard-seat carriage, passengers who were eager to get on the bus didn't even have time to get on the bus through the doors and had to climb in through the lathes.

The passengers in the car empathized with each other and helped them, always pulling or helping them up.

The soft sleeper car where Ma Lihua is located and the hard sleeper car in front are much easier, especially the soft sleeper car. Each four beds, that is, two high and low beds, forms a private room. The sanitation inside is also cleaned quite clean. Apart from the slower speed and a little noisy when driving, there is nothing to complain about.

The longer the train stops, which also has some benefits, such as getting off the bus and resting, and buying things.

The man on the upper bunk changed his clothes and got out of the train. After buying grilled fish, the train was still not fully loaded. He parked steadily in the driveway without any intention of moving.

"I just baked it, I bought two." The man put two grilled yellow croakers on the small table. Then he poured water on two soft-bed ceramic cups produced in Jingdezhen and pushed them to his daughter and wife.

"Just buy one, what to do if you buy two?" Ma Lihua said complaining.

"One is for Xiaoman and one is for you." The man said as he wanted to go to the upper bunk.

Ma Lihua smiled a little, grabbed the man, and said, "I can't finish eating together, I can't finish it alone."

"I often eat, so there is no need, you two can eat it." The man pushed and sat down, took the book on the upper bunk and read it.

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

The hot grilled fish was delicious. Xiaoman was full of oil in his mouth. His round face was constantly deformed due to chewing. His dark eyes were still looking around with agility.

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

"Bang bang".

The door of the box knocked twice and was immediately pulled open.

A young man dragged his trolley case and appeared outside the door, looked inside, and smiled and said, "I'm the same private room with you."

"Oh, little brother, you are from the lower bunk here." The man saw the ticket in Yang Rui's hand and gave up the location friendly.

Ma Lihua was actually not very happy. The three of them were so comfortable to stay in a private room, and the stranger was so uncomfortable.

However, she smiled and didn't say anything. She was qualified to oppose it when buying tickets and taking a bus. On the other hand, those who can sit on soft lying are not ordinary people now. According to the rules, department-level cadres like Lao Wen can only sit on hard lying, not soft lying. It was only after several levels of relationship that they bought three tickets.

The young man in front of him thought he had bought a soft sleeper ticket with his connections. Ma Lihua knew the difficulty of buying a ticket, so she naturally looked at the other party with a high glance.

Wen Xiaoman hurriedly put the fish in his mouth back to its original position, then covered his mouth with his hands, trying hard to swallow the hard and tough fish meat.

It is best not to be seen by handsome guys for being greedy.

This is the simple thinking of a 13-year-old girl.

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

His current outfit is actually no different from when he was in college in later generations. He is still wearing sportswear, and still packs and boxes.

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

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

She knew trolley boxes. They were sold in large shopping malls in Beijing, including thirty or forty yuan, and trolley boxes specially sold for foreigners in the embassy area, which are often sold for foreign exchange coupons worth up to several hundred yuan. Ma Lihua wanted to buy them before, but she was reluctant to do so. This time she came with a big bag of small bags when she went out.

Under Ma Lihua's gaze, Yang Rui took out the thermos cup in an orderly manner, poured water, took out two more books, put them on the head of the bed, and then took out his newly bought camera, skillfully installed the camera, and took a snap.

Yang Rui was preparing to take down all the train stations he passed by as a souvenir.

However, his action surprised Wen's family in the car. Today's cameras are all film cameras, taking 22 or 23 films per film, and then you have to change the film, and each roll of film is expensive.

Just taking a photo that does not include yourself and your family is a luxury besides professional camera workers.

The man from the Wen family looked at the camera in Yang Rui's hand 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 production of Hongqi 20 was very small and even fewer people knew.

The man nodded vigorously and put down his book and said, "I know, why don't I know it? Our company also has one, like a baby. I heard that only hundreds of units were produced nationwide. Where did you buy it? By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wen Si, a civilized Wen, a Si Si, a Si Si, a Beijing Daily, and a Pingjiang home."

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

Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "Just call me Yang Rui. I went to Beijing to study."

"University?"

"right."

"Which school?" Wen Si kept asking.

Yang Rui said helplessly: "Peking University."

"Ah... Wen Xiaoman, who pretends to be a lady, let out a depressing cry and looked at Yang Rui with an almost admiring look.

Ma Lihua's expression was also much more harmonious in an instant. College students of this era were given beautiful words such as civilization, knowledge, progress, and courtesy in this province. Even college students who did not meet this requirement were actually subtly changed 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 to register for a university. Why do you go to school so early?" Ma Lihua asked on his own initiative.

"I want to go to the school first." Yang Rui was considering going to the school in advance and rebuilding the laboratory.

"Do you have relatives in Beijing? It is best to live at the homes of relatives and friends. The hotels outside are very expensive and unsafe. Now the school allows students to live in the school in advance?" Ma Lihua said with concern.

"I don't know exactly yet, I'm going to report after school starts."

"It's good." Wen Si took over the topic, talked about school affairs with interest, and then slowly turned to the camera.

The Hongqi 20 camera is the pinnacle of domestic cameras, and it can be said to be the last glory. It is imitated by the Leica m3 and absorbs some of the design concepts of the Leica m4. It is extremely well-made and has a mechanical performance comparable to Leica. However, its shape is even more impressive. It is the top 135 camera made in China and the darling of the camera collection industry in China and abroad. By the early 1990s, the price of the Hongqi 20 camera reached US$5,000. By 30 years later, it could be sold at a high price of US$15,000, and is one of the few cameras that are more expensive than prototypes.

Of course, Hongqi 20 is also very expensive. The domestic price of a set of one machine and three mirrors is more than 2,000 yuan. Due to the extremely low production, it is only allocated to high-level news organizations such as Xinhua News Agency. Its price of up to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong Exhibition is enough to make ordinary Chinese lose everything.

Yang Rui was hired to buy a Red Flag for both archaeological purposes and collection purposes, so he hired Shen to buy a Red Flag for 20. After trying it, it really felt outstanding. In addition to the heavy feeling, it was better than most of the cameras he had come into contact with later generations, so he took it out to play and take photos.

However, Wen Si was curious about Yang Rui and the camera because of her professional habits, and she couldn't help but ask questions.

"Bang bang."

This time, the car window was knocked on.

Yang Rui turned his head and saw Yao Yue, Yao Le and Yao Mu in surprise.

"We are late and we didn't find you in the waiting hall, so we came in." Yao Yue said in a low voice.

"Are you here to send me?"

"Or what if it's going to Beijing next week, why are you leaving so early?" Yao Le snatched the conversation and spoke very quickly.

Yang Rui had to explain and express his gratitude.

Yao Yue shook her head repeatedly and said, "I want to say thank you, you must pay attention to your health when you arrive in Beijing..."

She said a lot of words, but she repeated them a little, and she didn't notice it.

"Didi--"

The whistle sounded, and Yao Yuetie hurriedly finished the instructions, took the wooden box from Yao's mother, handed it to Yang Rui, and said, "This is the cooked food we made for you to make it easier for you to eat on the road... Well, it's to thank you for helping Yao Lebao for volunteering."

"What did you do?" Yang Rui took it without refusing.

Yao Yue said embarrassedly: "I made some of them, and some of them made some for me."

Yao Le kept waving his hand to show his presence.

Yao's mother also smiled and waved her hand, saying, "A good journey."

"Thank you... Thank you." Yang Rui waved to them with a slight whisper. The situation in front of him really surprised him.
