Chapter 172 Train

"Director, deputy director, good morning."

"Well, good morning."

"Xiao Yi, here is the ticket, and here is a letter. You go to Tanggu Village to find a man named Shi Jun. He is my former comrade. After the founding of New China, he returned to his hometown to serve. He should have retired now.

, you can go find him. Although he can’t help you much, it’s better to have a local to guide you than to wander around alone.”

"Well, thank you, old man."

Jia Yi happily took a small bag, which contained a gift prepared by Mr. Zheng, a ticket worth 2.9 yuan, and a letter written by Mr. Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zheng has comrades in arms in Tianjin. With acquaintances helping him this time, he should be able to get things done and come back soon.

"Xiao Yi, it doesn't matter if you don't get anything this time. The most important thing is to protect yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm the best at protecting yourself."

"Well, that's good to know. Lao Fu, do you have anything to say?"

"You've already said it, what else do you want me to say? Xiaoyi, your safety is the most important thing. Be careful when you go out."



Jia Yi said goodbye to the two directors, found a deserted place and received the package from Mr. Zheng in Taoyuan, and then took the bus to the train station.

"It seems that the old man has no acquaintances in the train system, otherwise it wouldn't be a hard-seat ticket. However, the distance is not far, it can be reached in more than three hours. Even buying a sleeper berth is a waste."

Jia Yi didn't wait for a while, it was time for the train to leave, so he checked in and boarded the train.

It was easy. The security check at this time was not strict, and Jia Yi's things and money were all in Taoyuan. He only had a backpack with him, which contained only a few sets of old clothes and nothing else.

Even if the thief sees him, if he has a conscience, he might give him some money to help him.

Although Jia Yi is not afraid of trouble, when he is away from home, it is better to do less than to do more. Safety and security are the most important thing.

Therefore, Jia Yi specially took He Yuzhu's old clothes that had been mended and mended in order not to be conspicuous.

Nowadays, trains are also equipped with hot water bottles. If you are lucky, the water in the bottle will be full, so you don’t have to fetch water yourself.

Fortunately, he was going to Tianjin not far away, with a total journey of more than 130 kilometers. Although the average green train speed at this time was relatively slow, only 50 or 60 kilometers per hour, plus the stops along the way, it would cost the most

It can be reached in just over three hours.

With such a short time, Jia Yi doesn't need to eat or drink in the car. He can wait until the place to solve the problem of eating and drinking.

Holding the bag, Jia Yi looked at the crowded train and marveled. It should be said that there should not be so many people taking the train now. After all, going out is not just about thinking, and it is difficult to move without a letter of introduction.

However, when he took a closer look at the age and dress of these people, he realized that if he hadn't had a job, he would have gone to the countryside to join the queue like these young people.

As the train started to move, the carriage immediately became lively. Some were chatting, some were crying silently, and some passionate young people were commenting impassionedly and loudly on current affairs...

Jia Yi was helpless. It seemed that his desire for a quiet journey was ruined. These young people could not be quiet.

"Little comrade, you don't look like you're going to jump in line."

Jia Yi opened his eyes and looked at the passenger next to him for the first time...an ordinary middle-aged uncle, wearing a gray tunic suit, holding a black briefcase, and wearing a pair of glasses...

"Oh, I'm not. I'm on a business trip to Tianjin."

"Oh, that's it. Comrades are lucky to be able to stay in the capital and work, unlike them."

The middle-aged uncle looked at the young people in the carriage who were jumping in line and shook his head regretfully.

"Ah, what do you mean? It's not good for them to do this."

Although Jia Yi knew what was going on, seeing the uncle's intense conversation, he still decided to cooperate with him and deliberately pretended to be confused.

"Little comrade, let me tell you, after they go there, they will find that the life there is far worse than that in the city. They don't have enough to eat and wear, and they don't have enough to wear. Besides, how can they, the children in the city, do anything like that?

Farm work, everyone will be miserable by then, and in the end, I'm afraid they won't be human anymore..."

The middle-aged uncle whispered to Jia Yi what he knew. He did not dare to say these words in public. These young people are not easy to mess with. They are all very angry and cannot control themselves. If they listen to his words,

If you do something bad, you will be in trouble.

"That's it, wish them good luck."

"Yes, wish them good luck."

After being quiet for a while, the middle-aged uncle couldn't help it anymore. Seeing his talkative appearance, Jia Yi was a little suspicious of how he survived to this day.

"Comrade, what do you do?"

"I work as a support person on the streets."

"Well, the street is a good place, but why did you join such a department? Let me tell you, the logistics are not easy to handle, there is a lot of trouble, and you often get scolded..."

The middle-aged uncle began to explain his understanding to Jia Yi incessantly. Jia Yi saw that this posture was wrong. If he didn't interrupt him, he would probably continue to explain until he got off the car.

Jia Yi thought to himself: He can't let him continue. It's not like he doesn't know this, but the logistics really suit him.

"Uncle, you haven't said what you do for a living yet?"

The uncle sighed, his face was a little gloomy and his mood was not high.

"I also work in logistics, from the logistics department of Tianjin Xingang Shipyard. Otherwise, I wouldn't know logistics so well."

The uncle smiled bitterly. It was because he worked in logistics that he understood the difficulties of this job.

"Then why did you come to the capital, uncle?"

"Well, it's not just about the logistics. I'm trying to buy supplies, and I'm also trying to find ways to sell the boats produced in the factory."

Seeing his depressed look, Jia Yi knew that this trip would definitely not go well, so Jia Yi stopped adding salt to his wounds.

Jia Yi thought he would stop thinking about these unhappy things, but he underestimated him. Within a few minutes, he started again...

"By the way, little comrade, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Jia Yi, uncle, where are you?"

"My name is Wang Jin, what are you doing in Tianjin? I am an old Tianjin native and I am familiar with the streets and alleys of Tianjin. If you have anything, you can tell me."

Wang Jin is sure that because of his outgoing and cheerful personality and his talkative mouth, the most important thing is that his family is one of the big families in Tianjin. He is doing well in Tianjin, so he

This is no exaggeration.

Jia Yi's heart moved. He didn't know the specific situation of Mr. Shi Junshi yet. He could just ask Wang Jin about the situation. If he knew, it would be an unexpected surprise. Even if he didn't know, it would be okay. Anyway, he wouldn't suffer.

.

"Uncle Wang, do you know an old man named Shi Jun?"

"Shi Jun, old man."

Wang Jin frowned. He felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

"Do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know his specific address. I just know that he is from Tanggu Village and should be retired now."
