The 1970s Educated Youth

Chapter 160

◎Hostility◎

The train did not stop along the way, and the carriage was quiet all day long.

The flight attendants and passengers passing by subconsciously acted calmly, except for a burst of noise from distant carriages around meal time.

Cheng Yanzhou, Gu Heting, and Xie Mingwang took turns to rest.

Riding in the car was boring. Apart from eating and going to the bathroom, the three of us sat around the table and played chess for the whole day.

Gu Heting raised his head, then raised his head, and then raised his head again. The man sleeping on the upper bunk didn't move at all.

You've been sleeping all day and you still don't wake up?

Xie Mingwang, who was watching the chess game, had gradually turned from nervousness to anxiety, and finally to helplessness. He planned to confess to his daughter after getting in the car, but... it turned out that the child was still awake.

Gu Heting was curious: "Don't call her, she hasn't eaten yet."

Cheng Yanzhou looked at the time and said, "Let's wait another half hour, she won't have an appetite if she doesn't sleep enough."

After another twenty minutes, Cheng Yanzhou planned to heat up the meal. Gu Heting volunteered to grab the job and gave him the arduous task of waking Gu Xiaowan up.

Xie Mingwang looked around, then picked up the basin to get the hot water.

It was uncomfortable to sleep on the train, and the bed was uncomfortable. Although Gu Guanning was still terribly sleepy, she did not stay in bed after being woken up.

It took ten minutes for Gu Guanning to wake up. He climbed out of bed and washed himself. He took some unemptied cream from the empty jar and wiped it on before sitting down to eat dumplings.

It was dark outside the window.

Gu Guanning pulled Yanzhou's arm, pulled out his watch and checked the time, "How long until we get to the station?"

The chessboard on the table was moved to the lower bunk of the bed opposite.

Hearing this, Gu Heting replied: "We'll be at the station at nine-twenty. We'll see if there's a bus to pick us up. If there's no bus to pick us up, we'll take the bus to Xu Sinan's house."

Gu Guanning didn't live in Beijing for several years, so he didn't know much about many things. "Is there a bus after nine o'clock?"

Gu Heting was a little confused when asked, and his tone was not so sure, "Yes?"

Gu Guanning: "..." You are very unreliable.

"Then if there is no bus, we can't walk to Brother Xu's house, right?"

"Besides, we don't have any change now."

Cheng Yanzhou said: "There is a guest house next to the station. If you stay one night, you can wait until there is a bus the next day. Let's go."

Gu Guanning suddenly forgot that there was such a thing as a guest house, "That's okay."

The train arrived on time.

Station security management in this era was very loose, and people picking up and dropping off could enter the platform. In addition, passengers came out in droves with large and small bags, and the crowds and people were crowded, which was like the sardine cans in the subway stations during the morning and evening rush hours in later generations.

The crowded state also facilitated petty theft. Even thirty or forty years later, train stations were a hot spot for human trafficking.

Gu Guanning hugged Cheng Yanzhou's arm tightly, wishing to tie the two of them up with a rope, and strictly ensured that they never left each other.
