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

"Xibao has been bored in the car for so long, but he's exhausted. Now that it's not dark, you take him out to play for a while. When we were in the capital, we saw it snowing. I thought of the snowman you built with him. Our dad keeps talking about you."

Hearing what Feng Qingxue said, Lu Jiang's heart suddenly softened and he stopped.

Xibao quickly squatted down and tried to slide off the kang, but was caught by Feng Qingxue, "Mom will put on clothes and shoes for you, and dad will take you out to play. Dad didn't want Xibao!"

"Hurry!" Xibao sat on the kang and urged Feng Qingxue to put on clothes and shoes for him.

Fully armed and dressed up, Xibao slipped to the ground in a flash, ran to Lu Jiang, grabbed his free big hand, shook it vigorously, raised his face, and shouted sweetly: "Dad, let's go, play." , snow!”

Feng Qingxue said to Lu Jiang again: "Auntie wants to go home. See if you have a ticket to go home. Buy a sleeper berth ticket."

"Auntie is tired from the journey. Come back to the army with us to rest for a while before going home."

Wang Fengqiao listened to Lu Jiang's words and said with a smile: "No, I will visit your army again next time I have a chance. I have to go home in a hurry to celebrate the New Year! I feel bad if I am not at home during the New Year. "

She had said so, so naturally Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue could no longer be persuaded to stay.

"Okay, while I'm taking Xibao to play, I'll check if there are any tickets for the return trip in the past two days."

Yes, it was around ten o'clock the next morning.

Lu Jiang bought a sleeper ticket for Wang Fengqiao, which cost more than seventy yuan, nearly eighty yuan. It was not far different from the ticket from the capital to here, a few yuan less, but Feng Qingxue paid two A monthly salary is enough for this ticket.

Each ticket was marked with a fee, and Wang Fengqiao twitched her lips in distress.

"Why are these tickets so expensive? Your uncle and I have worked hard for two or three years but can't earn more than 80 yuan. I follow you here and there. Just two tickets cost our whole family several years." Income. No wonder some children from Shilibaxiang are working as soldiers or third-line workers outside, and they don’t go home for three to five years. It’s because they don’t have time and they don’t have money, right?”

What a pity it would be to waste your salary on the road?

Wang Fengqiao wished she could return her ticket and walk home on her own feet.

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "Thousands of kilometers away, you have to wait until the end of the Year of the Monkey to get home? The ticket is a bit expensive, but we are also making a contribution to the country!"

When she went out to visit Lu Jiang for the first time, she felt so distressed that it cost forty yuan!

Now, she has become accustomed to the expensive train sleeper tickets, because compared with train tickets, air tickets are more expensive, and a bottle of Maotai per person seems very insignificant. Although the army arranged for them to fly, but later she and Du Xiaotao paid for the plane ticket herself. Fortunately, Lu Jiang's salary was always in her hands, otherwise something would have happened.

Wang Fengqiao said: "Don't you have tickets? Lu Jiang, you can exchange them for tickets for me. The tickets are several times cheaper, right?" They bought tickets from their hometown to the capital, and it cost only one person. how much.

"You have been sitting all the way back for such a long time. Aren't you afraid of swollen legs? You don't feel sorry for yourself, I feel sorry for you." Feng Qingxue said, "I won't tell you anymore. You can help me take care of the child. A Jiang and I can use the kitchen of the guest house. Use it and make some dry food for you to take on the road."

Father Lu and the others brought all the uneaten food they had brought to the capital, just in time to make dry food for Wang Fengqiao.

The next day when I put Wang Fengqiao in the car, the heavy snow showed no sign of letting up.

. . The speed and pricing of trains are not very accurate. If the road is good, the speed is fast, but if the road is bad, it will be haha. It needs to be repaired. You can just leave it at that. But at that time, the tickets were really expensive. Ten yuan can travel about 500 kilometers. , I don’t know if it refers to the sleeper class. The speed is still very slow and cannot reach the top speed at all. It is normal to take the train for ten and a half days. Many third-line workers and soldiers have poor families because they spend most of their wages on As for travel expenses.
