Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

"Hello, eldest sister, my name is Feng Qingxue. My partner is injured and is in the hospital. I'm going to see him." Feng Qingxue said her destination. She didn't mention the name of the hospital, only the name of the provincial capital.

After a brief conversation, Feng Qingxue knew the names of the two female passengers. The older one was Wang Cuilan, a division-level cadre of the Mining Bureau in her hometown city, and the younger one was Lu Aihong, a scientist from a neighboring county. Level cadres, both of them were on business trips to other provinces. They got off the bus three to five days earlier than themselves, but they got on the train at the same station as themselves, and coincidentally chose adjacent sleeper berths.

After Feng Qingxue got on the train, she asked the conductor that it would take half a month to reach her destination.

Half a month!

When she got this answer, Feng Qingxue almost lost her breath.

For someone like her who travels by plane or high-speed train, what does fifteen days mean? It’s one-half of a month, twenty-fourths of a year, so long that it’s frightening.

She finally understood why no one was willing to travel far away unless absolutely necessary. It had been too long.

Moreover, the ticket was not cheap. It cost her a full forty yuan to take the sleeper berth.

Lu Aihong smiled and said: "We are fellow villagers, no wonder we feel particularly friendly in the car these days."

"Sister Aihong is right. My uncle's surname is Wang, and my partner's surname is Lu. Maybe we touched a spoon in the same pot a hundred years ago!" Isn't friendship the emotion generated by communication? You can't be thin-skinned when making friends.

The wind was gentle and the snow was falling, which made Wang Cuilan and Lu Aihong very happy and enthusiastic.

"What a coincidence, it shows that we sisters are destined to be together!"

"Yes, Sister Cuilan, you and Sister Aihong must leave their contact information for me. After I return home after seeing my partner, I will visit the two eldest sisters at their homes if I have the opportunity."

Wang Cuilan said: "Okay, don't forget, I welcome you no matter when you come."

Lu Aihong also smiled and nodded, and the three of them exchanged contact information. In fact, they just told each other their home addresses.

Having someone to keep you company and chatting about all over the world makes the time in the car less difficult.

At noon, the conductor pushed the dining car in. Feng Qingxue asked Wang Cuilan and Lu Aihong to buy first. After they each bought their own meals, she handed the aluminum lunch box to the conductor and bought a loofah and egg drop soup for 10 cents.

Black bread was in short supply, and when it was her turn, there was no more, so she used 2 taels of food stamps to buy a white-flour bun.

Lu Aihong's sharp eyes saw that what she took out were military food stamps, in denominations of five kilograms. The conductor gave her four kilograms and eighty taels of national food stamps. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Xue, does anyone in your family serve as a soldier in the army?"

Feng Qingxue collected the food stamps and change she had found, turned around and said with a smile, "My partner is a soldier."

Wang Cuilan and Lu Aihong suddenly remembered that Feng Qingxue said that her partner was injured and hospitalized. After hearing this, what did they not understand? The injury must have been caused by the battle, and he immediately felt a surge of respect.

When the conductor poured hot water into Feng Qingxuejun's kettle, it was 80% full.

Before that, he had poured at most half a pot for Feng Qingxue.

This cannot be blamed on the conductor. Think about it, with such a long train and so many passengers, even if the conductor is a strong man, it is impossible for the hot water bottle on the trolley to fill all the passengers' kettles and cups.

. . Ten yuan can take a 500-kilometer train, and it should be a sleeper class, because I checked the information and found that the ticket from my home to Shanghai is 28 yuan. The sleeper class is quite expensive, nearly ten yuan. The ticket price in this article is calculated based on the distance. I heard that at that time, many third-line workers and soldiers’ wages were spent on travel expenses, so some did not go home for many years and only sent money o(╥﹏╥)o
