Time Travel to the Educated Youth Era [Space]

The food on the green train was not very good, but it was very filling. At noon, we had two taels of white rice with a few hard dishes, and at night, we had steamed buns and refreshing side dishes.

Tao Xiang had a full lunch, but she had no appetite at night. She drank some thin porridge and took her own portion of noodles back to her bunk, locked the door and rested.

Outside the dark window was the vast northern wasteland, with only the howling snow-covered cold wind blowing the yellow and white dry grass. Far away from the county-level city with many houses, the surroundings seemed to be extremely deserted, as if the only thing left in the world was the train burning coal running on the endless rails, with no end in sight.

Tao Xiang had no interest in the monotonous scenery outside. She curled up in her cotton quilt and began to count and pack up the things in the space again. From now on, the things of the original body and her own would be strictly separated.

Some of the documents, certificates and food coupons inherited from the original body had to be taken out and kept close to her body to prevent being counted at any time; the jewelry box containing valuable relics had to be placed in the space for easy access; a few suitable replacement clothes and light winter clothes were also placed in the combination aluminum box, and the rest were some money and national food coupons.

Tao Xiang put all the scattered coins and grain coupons into two places. After counting them one by one, he found that his savings had reached 550 yuan, and the national grain coupons also weighed 130 to 140 kilograms.

Not to mention that there were 60 kilograms of buckwheat grain and 30 kilograms of miscellaneous grains in the space, as well as several large boxes of cakes and snacks, and some other miscellaneous items, including cakes and eggs sent by villagers.

The money and grain coupons must be used. Tao Xiang pondered for a while and simply divided them into three parts. One part was more than 50 yuan in coins and 30 to 40 kilograms of grain coupons, and the rest was divided into two parts and stuffed into two purses and put into the space.

Everything was put away in an orderly manner. Tao Xiang, who was shrouded in a haze, had a premonition that they would be of great use.

Finally, she touched the long-neglected bottles and jars in the corner of the space and the treasure chest that had been with her since the beginning. The precious jewelry collected in it still exuded a warm and bright light. Even if everything was returned, she didn't have to be afraid. After all, these were her real reliance.

Thinking of this, Tao Xiang's uneasy heart finally settled down a little...

Compared to the quiet and empty sleeping area, the sitting compartment is much more noisy.

Since this train runs along the newly built railway and only stops at major stations along the way, even if the journey time is slightly shortened, there are fewer opportunities for people to get off the train to get water or rest.

Qin Li finished the food she brought with her in two meals and drank all the water in the cup. She couldn't hold it in anymore. The simple toilets on the train were full of people. She walked through more than a dozen carriages before she found one with fewer people.

She waited with a bitter face and looked around.

She looked everywhere, except for the restaurant and the sleeping car in front that were blocked off. But Tao Xiang, a sent-down youth, couldn't be there, right?

She was really looking for trouble, Qin Li complained in her heart.

There were few entertainment activities in this era, so the train began to be quiet since nightfall. The light in the carriage was dim, and many people leaned on their seats or in the aisle and closed their eyes to sleep, and stopped moving.
