The time to go to Beijing was set in three days. Mother Rong agreed to go to Beijing on the second day. As soon as Mother Rong agreed, Father Rong became anxious. He got up at five o'clock in the morning to feed the pigs and chickens and clean the yard. The three little ones had nothing to do when they got up together, sitting at the door and watching Dad Rong running in and out of the woods with an axe to cut dead branches.
"You said, if we persuade mom to go to Beijing, will dad beat the three of us up one day?" Rong Yao asked worriedly.
"Will Dad beat people?" Rong Yu swallowed, a little nervous.
"Don't listen to Yaoyao's nonsense, there's no such thing." Ying Xun was peeling bamboo slices with a knife, Rong Yu didn't understand what he was going to do, but seeing him peeling so seriously, he wondered if he was using some agricultural tools or something of.
But when Ying Xun stopped and stretched the object in front of him, he realized that it was not a farming tool, but a T-shaped object.
Confused and puzzled, he looked at Ying Xun, who smiled, "Take it."
Rong Yu responded, took it over, pinched the bottom and turned it around, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Rong Yao was surprised: "Bamboo dragonfly, have you never played?"
Rong Yu shook his head: "No"
Rong Yao smiled: "I'll teach you."
After the words fell, he pulled the person up and walked to the middle of the yard, pinched the bottom of the bamboo dragonfly, rubbed it lightly, let it go, and the two rotors flew up with the wind. Tolerance and surprise watching it spinning in the air, very novel.
"Xiao Yu, hurry up and pick it up there, it will land there." Rong Yao pointed at the bamboo dragonfly in the air and called.
"Okay." Rong Yu responded, rushed over to catch the falling bamboo dragonfly with a smile, turned around and said to Rong Yao: "Sister, stand there, I'll let it fly over, then."
"Come on!" Rong Yao rubbed his hands and put on a posture.
Like a soldier approaching the city, he carefully laughed and laughed.
Ying Xun sat at the door, looking at the people standing in the courtyard, he couldn't help but also smiled.
The three days came quickly, because they planned to go to Beijing for only a few days, so the three of them didn't bring much clothes. Ying Xun had a backpack, which contained three sets of clothes for him and Rongyu, and some toiletries. Rong Yu also carried a backpack, which contained the leftover silk from last year and the silk satin woven by an elderly family in the village, as a sample, which will be used for sales. Mother Rong dug out a suitcase from 20 years ago. It was cleaned the day before, and after drying, it was still very fashionable.
Nowadays, most people wear snakeskin or cloth bags for their clothes. Ying Xun’s travel mode of carrying a backpack and Rong’s mother carrying a suitcase is very novel and attracts many people’s attention along the way.
Ying Xun thought about it, but luckily Rong Rong didn't take out his trolley suitcase, otherwise he would have been watched.
After all, in 1990, even in Beijing, Rong and that trolley suitcase were the only ones.
The three of them didn't go to the town, but they inquired about the tractors in the next village and went to the town to make time to ride them. They dragged the five members of the Rong family to the town and gave each other a dollar.
The train from Taopo Town goes from the south to Beijing, so there is only one train a day. At around 5:00 p.m., a few people arrived at the station an hour earlier for fear of missing the train. Belt, and three bowls, and a fork.
"When you arrive, remember to call back. Tomorrow, Yaoyao and I will stay in the town until night. Afterwards, we will sell iced drinks in the town at noon every day. If you have something to do, you have to call." Father Rong explained worriedly, as soon as they got on the train They won't be able to reach Beijing until tomorrow afternoon. There are no telephones in the three villages, only the town has one, so they can only wait there.
"Don't worry, we'll call back as soon as we get there." Ying Xun didn't feel nervous about going to Beijing. He lived there for half of his life, walked the path Rong Rong walked, ate what Rong Rong had eaten, and left the rest Time flies across the country, looking for Rong Rong everywhere, and he is no stranger to Beijing.
But Rong's father didn't know, he always felt that Rong's mother had been away there for more than 20 years, and there must be a big change. Although Rong Yu grew up there, he was still a child. Ying Xun has only been to Beijing for a few days, no matter how he thinks about it, no matter how worried he is, he can't wait to go with him, even though he has never been to Beijing himself.
Mother Rong saw that Dad was sweating nervously, and smiled: "Don't worry, isn't there me?"
Father Rong was not at ease, Luo Ji said: "You haven't gone out for many years, ah, if only I had some skills."
"dad!"
Several voices sounded at the same time, interrupting Dad Rong, not wanting Dad Rong to feel that he is useless, three villages, who is like their family, two children can go to school
Elementary school, junior high school, high school, and even university, this is the road planned by Dad for them, and it is the only one in the whole town.
"What are you talking about? Didn't you go to the south at the beginning of this year? If you went, you might have a good job and start a business now, so I'm still going to hurt you." The serious illness that Rong's mother suffered at the beginning of the year not only drained the family's savings , also retained Dad Rong's desire to go to the south to work hard. She has always known that this man has been working hard to give the whole family a better life.
"What are you talking about? I am the pillar of the family. Of course you are the most important. You are sick, why would I go to the south?" Even though she was 20 years old, she could still see the elegance from the bottom of her body. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a little tanned and dressed up to say she was a rich lady, who would say no
"So, we are a family." Rong Yao put one hand on her father and the other on her mother, and said with a smile, "Mother is the backbone, father is the pillar, and we are the tripod."
"Sister is right." Rong Yu nodded.
"Well, Xiao Yu is right." Ying Xun nodded.
The family looked at each other and smiled.
The three of them set foot on the train with Dad Rong's worries.
At this time, there were a lot of people in the carriage, bustling and bustling, sitting or standing, luggage racks in mid-air, and the ground were full of luggage. Ying Xun took the luggage, and Ying and mother Rong squeezed in. In the hot summer, everyone was Sweating profusely, a strange smell filled the air, Rong Yu almost vomited.
It was hard to find my seat, and there were still people in the seat. Rong Yu and the others were seated in a row of three seats. At this time, there were three men sitting, two thin and one fat. When seeing Rong Yu and Rong's mother coming over, one man stood up, and the other two men did not want to move. To Rong Yu.
"This is our position." Rong Yu said openly.
"Who says it's yours? If you say it's yours, it's yours?" The two of them saw Rong and his tender face, and they only brought a woman with them, without any fear at all.
"The ticket is ours, it's ours." Rong Yu frowned and said, "If you don't let me call the car police."
"Scream, scream!" The two men didn't mind at all, acting like bums.
Rong Yu was a little angry, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"boom!"
A large bag was placed on the sideboard in front of the seat, and Ying Xun, a tall and burly man, came out, looked at the two of them sharply, and said coldly: "These three seats are ours, get out of the way."
The lines on Ying Xun's face were very hard, and his cold face was terrible. The two men wanted to bully the younger, but when Ying Xun appeared, his momentum weakened, and he left muttering despondently.
"Oh, I get it, be fierce." Rong Yu said suddenly when he saw Ying Xun approaching and the two left.
"Yes, be fierce." Ying Xun couldn't laugh or cry, his eyes swept across his face, his face was really tender, and he was easy to be bullied outside.
So, he had to watch it.
Rong Yu waited for the others to leave and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling the bad smell again, and hurried to the window to stick his head out to breathe fresh air.
"Xiao Yu, hurry up, come and drink some water." Seeing that he was suffering, Rong's mother took out water from the instant noodle bag, twisted it open and handed it over, with ice in it, Rong Yu really felt much better after drinking a few sips.
Ying Xun put the luggage away and walked over to open the car window wider to let the wind blow in, and the surrounding air became better for a while.
Rong Yu came over slowly, turned around and wanted to sit outside, but was pulled by Rong's mother: "Sit by the window, it's windy."
Rong Yu shook his head: "That's right, mom, you can sit by the window, I'll just sit in the middle."
Ying Xun also said, "Mom, sit by the window! I'll sit outside."
Ying Xun is big, so it is best to sit outside. There are so many people on the train, no matter whether it is Rong’s mother or a small person, it is not suitable for Rong Yu to sit outside, and the people sitting in the middle will be a bit crowded, which is not comfortable. It's not good for my mother to sit.
"It's fine, tell mom if you feel uncomfortable." Mother Rong took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Rong Yu's forehead.
Rong and Ying sat down, but they didn't feel too crowded. First they looked at Rong's mother who was sitting inside, and then at Ying Xun who was sitting outside, and found that half of his body was exposed.
"Aren't you uncomfortable?" Rong Yu asked, touching his arm.
"It's okay." Ying Xun said, feeling in his pocket, and took out two candies, one for Rong and one for Rong's mother. Rong's mother didn't like it, so let them eat by themselves.
Rong Yu stuffed the candy in his mouth, turned his head, looked at the small advertisement posted on the train, and suddenly thought: "By the way, our company hasn't named yet."
Rong Yu's exclamation attracted the attention of the three people on the opposite side. When it comes to a company in this era, it must represent the word rich.
"How many of you are doing business?" The middle-aged man opposite asked with interest, his eyes were shrewd.
Rong Yu: "..."
Seeing that Rongyu didn't know how to answer for a while, Ying Xun took up the conversation: "My brother is just joking, do you think we are business people?"
The middle-aged man nodded, and he felt unreliable: "That is, you don't look like teenagers, are you going to Beijing to go to school?"
"No, I'm going to see relatives." Ying Xun replied, no longer looking at the opposite person, but looking at Rong Yu, seeing his eyeballs rolling, chuckled, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "On the train, people talk nonsense. Miscellaneous, be careful."
"Understood." Rong Yu replied, leaning towards Rong's mother.
Mother Rong is reading a book, an English book.
Although she usually teaches children English, she still forgets a lot after being useless for a long time. Mother Rong has been working hard on tutoring these days. Rong Yu goes abroad to see his little aunt almost once a year. His spoken English is very good, but it is a bit difficult to read English books. I have to sigh for a while, my mother is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It takes about 20 hours to get from Taopo Town to Beijing. Rong Yu and the others originally wanted to buy sleeping tickets, but they didn't know if the school was about to start. Tickets were very tight, so they only bought seat tickets.
It was alright at first, but it became uncomfortable to sit for a long time, but the aisle was full of people and couldn't go out for two steps, so Rong Yu could only stand there stretching out his hands and kicking his feet, and when it was late at night, Rong's mother was leaning against the window Rong Yu was sleeping on the back of the chair, but it was not comfortable, so he finally fell asleep on Ying Xun's lap.
This was the third time he took the train, the first time he escaped from Ying's house, and the second time he escaped from Ying's house, and each time he was alone. This time, he went to Beijing with hope, accompanied by two people.
