Traveling through the daily life of the 1970s

27

The snow on the road was already very thick. Lin Lin walked on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving footprints with each step. Qin Zeyang held Lin Lin's hand beside her, worried that she would slip.

They were going to the bus station to wait for Xingzi. The time agreed yesterday was six o'clock in the morning.

In less than a while, Xingzi led Xiaobao to the bus station, followed by a man. The man was about 1.75 meters tall, with a round face and glasses. He looked very kind when he introduced himself with a smile. He was Xiaobao's father Zhou Wei.

Several people were going to take a bus to the city. There was no train station in Qingshan Town. After waiting for a while, the early bus was about to leave. After getting on the bus, Lin Lin felt a little cold. The temperature dropped again.

After more than an hour, they finally arrived in the city. Qin Zeyang carried a big bag with things for Qin's father and mother. Lin Lin also carried a bag with daily necessities for the two of them. Xingzi and Zhou Zhou also brought a child with them, and they had more things.

The Chinese New Year is coming in a few days. Although there are many people in the train station at this time, it is nothing compared to the Spring Festival in the 21st century. At this time, materials are scarce, household registration management is strict, and the population flow is not large.

Lin Lin looked at the train station from decades ago. It is called a train station, but in fact it is just a few houses made of red bricks. Some of them are for the train station staff to rest, some sell tickets, and some maintain order. The rest is empty space.

Many people were standing around the railroad tracks. Lin Lin, Xingzi, and Xiaobao were waiting for the two ticket sellers to come back in the simple platform.

Lin Lin was stamping her feet to try to regain consciousness from her frozen feet, and Xingzi was also arranging a scarf for her son.

"Why is it getting colder and colder?" In her previous life, Lin Lin only felt that winter was dry and cold, and she only needed to wear a cotton jacket and a sweater at the coldest time. Only after traveling here did she realize that winter could be so cold, and the cold could penetrate the thick cotton clothes and reach the bones.

When Qin Zeyang and Zhou Wei arrived, the three of them were shivering in place due to the cold.

Qin Zeyang looked at Lin Lin's red face, her nose was also red, and she was still sniffing. He took Lin Lin to the waiting room and asked the manager for a cup of hot water.

"Come, drink some hot water to warm your hands and stomach." Qin Zeyang handed the enamel cup to Lin Lin.

Lin Lin held the cup with both hands, lowered her head and approached the cup, using the hot air to warm her frozen face.

After taking a sip of hot water, she finally felt a little warmer.

"What time did you buy the ticket?" Lin Lin asked.

"I bought a ticket for nine in the morning, and it will take about three days to take the train." Qin Zeyang took Lin Lin's bag off and carried it himself.

Finally, at nine o'clock, a green train slowly drove over.

The crowd at the train station all swarmed towards the train.

Qin Zeyang held Lin Lin's hand tightly, "Follow me closely." Lin Lin finally felt a little bit like the Spring Festival travel rush.

She followed Qin Zeyang closely to her compartment. Qin Zeyang bought a berth. The lower middle berth was where she and Qin Zeyang sat. Next to them was Xingzi's family. They also bought two beds, one upper berth and one middle berth.
