Chapter 29 White Jade Arhat

Compared with the later generations, the train carriages in the 1960s were quite different.

The seats were all green, and each seat could accommodate two passengers. All the seats faced the same direction.

Unlike the later generations, the seats in the train were all opposite each other, and there was a small table in the middle.

At this time, if ordinary people wanted to take the train, they could only buy hard seat tickets. When there were too many passengers, only standing tickets were left.

As for the berths, they were prepared for senior cadres, and ordinary people could not buy berth tickets.

Li Zhenzhen secretly rejoiced that the educated youth had seats.

Otherwise, with the speed of the train at that time, which had not yet reached the era of full speed increase in the future, it would take three days and two nights to go all the way south to Guangzhou, which would take several dozen hours in total.

If there was no seat ticket, only standing tickets, it would be a real pain to stand all the way.

Maybe Li Zhenzhen left before the New Year, and there were fewer people leaving Beijing, so there were not many passengers on the train, and basically everyone had a seat.

However, the passengers brought a lot of luggage, all of which were large and small, and filled up the luggage racks as soon as they got on.

Any more luggage could only be stuffed under the seats, so it can be said that it was stuffed everywhere.

Li Zhenzhen had space to store her luggage. However, in order to conceal her identity, she also brought two snakeskin bags with her, which were filled with relatively light things.

After she found her seat, she quickly put her luggage on the luggage rack and sat down.

Li Zhenzhen soon discovered that most of the passengers in this carriage were educated youth like her, who were sent to work in the countryside.

Because when the educated youth in Beijing went to work in the countryside, the educated youth office arranged a team leader, who was also in this carriage at this time.

As soon as Li Zhenzhen sat down, the team leader came over and took out a small notebook for her to sign in.

After a while, the passengers finally arrived and the train started slowly.

People in the 1960s were very entertaining.

Not long after the train started, the teacher in charge stood up, walked to the middle of the aisle, stretched out his hands, clapped loudly a few times, and said loudly:

"Comrades, we are all educated youth from Beijing. This is fate. Now I will call the names. Those who are called should stand up, introduce themselves briefly, and then perform a talent for everyone. What do you think?"

As soon as the voice fell, the emotions of the educated youth in the carriage were mobilized, and they all stretched out their voices and shouted: "Okay..."

Next, the teacher in charge called the names one by one.

The educated youth whose names were called were not shy. They stood up, introduced themselves, and performed the program.

It's true that many educated youth are multi-talented.

Some can sing, some can tell jokes, and some can perform crosstalk.

When it was Li Zhenzhen's turn, she stood up and said, "Hello, comrades! My name is Li Zhenzhen, I'm 13 years old this year, and I'm going to Guangdong Province to be an educated youth. I don't have any talents, so I'll sing a song for everyone."
