Chapter 87: Excited Chen Yiheng

It was true.

Chen Mingchuan knew very well that if they didn’t go to work, the people in the production team would definitely have something to say.

In the era of the collective, everyone worked very carelessly, and most of the people working were just idling, but they couldn’t not work.

With money, they could buy some discounted food to eat later.

They were about to reach the station, so the couple didn’t say anything more.

In the future, their elder brother’s family would have a better and better life, and they could worry less.

Chen Mingchuan carried one thing on his back and another in his hand, a bag of clothes was carried by Li Xinyue.

When they entered the hall, there were many people inside, and it was very chaotic.

They couldn’t do business at this time, and they really didn’t know where so many people were going.

Li Xinyue was looking around, trying to find a place to wait for the train, when Chen Mingchuan spoke.

“Go to the left, there’s a military waiting room over there.”

Yes, she had forgotten.

When she took the bullet train before, she had seen the words “military ticket office” and “military waiting room” many times.

She just didn’t expect that she would have this honor now.

Chen Mingchuan walked ahead, and Li Xinyue immediately followed with little Yiheng in her hand.

This was Chen Yiheng’s first time coming to the county town, and he hadn’t blinked his big eyes along the way. Now that there were so many people at the train station, he was even more excited.

“Mom, what does the train look like? Can it fit so many people?”

Li Xinyue patiently answered him: “The train is green, like a box, a long train made up of one section after another.”

“You’ll see it in a while.”

Wow, a train like a box? Can it fit people?

“Oh, Mom, is it pretty?”

Li Xinyue: “…”

How could she say that?

The trains of this era were really not pretty!

“It’s pretty.”

Chen Yiheng was happy: “Mom, yesterday, Brother Fugui asked me if I could take him to ride the train.”

Chen Fugui?

They hadn’t been eating at Chen’s house these days, and they were both in school, so they had less contact with the two siblings.

Of course, they weren’t completely out of touch.

But every time they met, the two siblings would frown at their family of three.

“What did you say?”

Chen Yiheng looked up: “I said the train ticket is very expensive, my dad doesn’t have that much money, if he pays, then he can.”

“Pfft!”

What a little smart aleck!

Li Xinyue laughed.

This little guy was really well-behaved, but also very, very clever.

Asking Chen Fugui for money was like asking for his life!

Even though Chen Fugui was only ten years old, his shrewdness was the true inheritance of Chen Lao Da and Liu Xiulan!

Soon, the three of them reached the entrance of the military (maternity and infant) waiting room.

A station staff member saw the tickets in their hands and immediately came over to help carry their things.

Chen Mingchuan quickly thanked him.

It was noisy outside, but the military waiting room was very quiet, because there were only the three of them in there.

The waiting room was not big, at most fifteen square meters.

But there were two rows of wooden benches.

Chen Mingchuan put down the backpack on his back and looked at his watch: “There’s a bathroom over there, go and use it first.”

“It’s fifteen minutes before they start checking tickets and boarding.”

The military (maternity and infant) waiting room allowed them to enter the platform to wait for the train after checking tickets in advance.

Li Xinyue had never taken the train of this era, but she had seen it, and she knew it was very simple.

Fortunately, it was only three hours.

After going to the bathroom, Chen Mingchuan went, and soon the staff member notified them to board the train.

As soon as they entered the station, a green train was parked there…

“Mom, green box~~~ train, train!”

Chen Yiheng remembered that his mother said the train was green and made up of boxes, and he immediately shouted.

Li Xinyue praised him: “Yes, great! My baby has a good memory, that’s a train!”

Chen Yiheng’s eyes sparkled: “Mommy, does the train go fast?”

Li Xinyue nodded: “It runs very fast, faster than a car.”

“Mommy, I like trains!”

Pfft!

Li Xinyue laughed: “Little guy, you like everything you see!”

“Okay, we’ll learn to build trains later!”

But…

Chen Yiheng remembered the movie he saw on the brigade’s playground: “Mommy, is an airplane faster than a train?”

“Of course. Much faster.”

“Then I’ll learn to build airplanes later!”

Li Xinyue: “…”

Damn, her son’s aspirations are much grander than hers…

“That will require a lot of hard work, building airplanes is very, very difficult, you can’t do it without education.”

Chen Yiheng nodded: “Okay, I’ll read the best books!”

The train was a through train, so they didn’t buy a sleeper ticket.

A large number of people hadn’t been allowed in yet, there were only people getting off at the door, not getting on.

However, there were quite a few people.

“I’ll get the things, you hold Yiheng.”

Li Xinyue didn’t hesitate: “Okay. Yiheng, Mommy will carry you.”

Chen Yiheng knew he was small, so he obediently climbed onto his mother’s back and hugged her neck tightly.

“Mommy, I’ll hold on tight.”

Li Xinyue smiled and nodded: “Okay, my baby is the most capable!”

The family checked their tickets and walked towards the carriage. There were so many people, Chen Mingchuan could only push forward hard.

Fortunately, he was tall, others couldn’t push past him, leaving a path for Li Xinyue.

Soon, the family found their seats, three seats in a row.

“You hold Yiheng and sit inside.”

“Okay.”

After the mother and son sat down, Chen Mingchuan put the things in the luggage rack.

After all that, Chen Mingchuan was sweating, his back was wet, and a strong smell of sweat emanated…

“Dad, you stink!”

Chen Mingchuan: “…”

Little bastard! Where do I stink?

This is called manliness, okay!

A train without air conditioning is a disaster, with so many people, even the air is hot.

Li Xinyue took out a damp towel from her bag and handed it to Chen Mingchuan: “Take off your outer short-sleeved shirt, it will be even hotter when there are more people.”

“Okay.” .org

Chen Mingchuan wasn’t a fussy person, he took the damp towel and wiped from head to neck, then put the towel on the small table.

“I’ll go to the bathroom to wash when the train starts.”

With that, he took off his outer short-sleeved shirt, leaving a white cotton vest.

On the back were five words: Serve the People.

Li Xinyue had already taken out a folding fan, ready to fan him a few times, but before she could, it was snatched away.

“Let me.”

The three seats were facing forward.

Chen Mingchuan was sitting in the seat by the aisle, just right for three people to enjoy the breeze from the fan.

“Young man, you’re a good husband! As expected, soldiers know how to pamper their wives.”

“This little wife, you’re so lucky! You actually married a soldier, you’re blessed!”

As soon as the fan started, an old lady sitting opposite them, about sixty years old, looked envious.

Li Xinyue: “…”

Okay, in the 1970s and 1980s, being a soldier was really cool!

“Auntie, where are you going?”

Growing up in an orphanage, Li Xinyue’s personality was quite easygoing. People talked to her, she couldn’t just ignore them.

The old lady smiled: “I’m going to North City to see my grandson.”

“My son works in the coal mine there, he’s a team leader, and his wife works there too, they’re both working.”

Both working?

That’s really good!
