Chapter 19 Wang Cuihua: A tough life without explanation
"Okay, okay, I've finished what I need to say.
Take your luggage and get on the train."
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the people who were sobbing also burst into tears.
As long as one person cries, there will definitely be a second and a third.
Chu Yuan's ears were disturbed again.
Life is hopelessjpg.
Following the crowd, Chu Yuan finally boarded an old-fashioned train, but she didn't want to stay there for a second, she wanted to escape!
What does it smell like inside this train?
The smell of feces mixed with sweat is really...
I want to! Stop! I can't!
Chu Yuan felt like vomiting because of the smell.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan had thrown the things in his hands into the space, freeing his hands and leaving behind the bag he was carrying.
In the crowded aisle, although there are middle-aged women everywhere, the crowded atmosphere is still there.
It really harassed her.
She never expected that at this time, the people on the train were squeezed like a ball.
Are you really not tired?
Chu Yuan heard the "grunting" sound of the auntie next door.
But in such a crowded atmosphere, Chu Yuan was successfully squeezed into his own seat.
According to the ticket information, she sat down by the window with a look of despair on her face.
The noisy sound beside her ears broke into her ears like a hooligan.
Mo Xi looked at Chu Yuan with some amusement. Although she was a little uncomfortable with it, she could accept it.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan looked like he wanted to do it.
After searching through the backpack for a while, he finally found it. "Here's the one for you. It's orange flavored. It may make you feel better."
Looking at the orange-flavored fructose that Mo Xi handed over, Chu Yuan felt like he was alive again after putting it in his mouth.
He smiled and looked at Mo Xi who was sitting next to him, "Thank you, beautiful lady."
It was a very normal sentence, but it made Mo Xi blush a little.
The tip of my tongue was full of the scent of orange, and I felt extremely comfortable. The car window was open, so it was inconvenient for people to sit next to it.
It is convenient for people who are in a hurry.
Chu Yuan opened her mouth and looked at the person anxiously climbing in through the car window. Her three views were shocked.
No.
People of this era.
Are they all so tough?
She could see an old lady, weighing about 200 kg, but her movements were extremely agile.
She was carrying a big bag on her back, holding a big bag in one hand, and holding a little boy in the other hand.
This is simply a woman among women!
The aunt first pushed her son into the window, and then asked her son to hold a bag that was bigger than her son.
Then he grabbed the car window with both hands, pushed hard, and suddenly his feet left the ground. Then he swung his body and most of his body went in.

Chu Yuan swallowed and looked at the woman in front of him who was more feminine than any other woman.
Silently gave her a thumbs up.
"Sis, you are this!"
Women of this era are the most simple. They will grin when they hear compliments, but when they look up, they will immediately frown.
"You're not a little girl, you're too thin.
Giving birth to a child this thin will be painful."
There was no malice in the woman's eyes; she was just stating the facts seriously.
After all, in this era, thin women do suffer when giving birth. But this is just the inertial thinking at this time.
Chu Yuan just smiled and looked at the aunt sweating a little, "Auntie, do you need help?"
Sit aside, your aunt is fine."
I saw the old lady take the big package from her back and put it in an empty space beside her.
Then, using the support point, the whole person came in and sat in the empty seat.
The aunt looked at the seat information on the ticket and found that it matched her current seat. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "I didn't expect to find my seat by accident."
(Train tickets from the 60s and 70s)

The aunt was also a talkative person. She packed her luggage, picked up her son and put him inside. "Girls, are you the educated youth going to the countryside?"
Chu Yuan was originally in a state of boredom. Most of the people sitting nearby were educated youth who had gone to the countryside. He only whispered a few words to those who were familiar to him.
She had nothing to entertain herself, so as soon as she heard the aunt's voice, Chu Yuan knew it!
This road will definitely not be boring!
After all, Chinese aunties are great at chatting.
"Yes, yes, what are you going to do?"
Mo Xi looked at the two of them, knowing that he couldn't get a word in, so he just listened from the side.
The aunt waved her hand and said, "I'm going to find my man and join the army!
My husband is alone in the army, and before the New Year he asked me to go and help out. "
The old lady smiled simply, her eyes full of longing for her future life.
At this time, a woman is at her happiest when she can be with her husband, take care of her children, and take care of her husband.
"My name is Wang Cuihua, you can just call me Aunt Wang."
Hearing this, Chu Yuan called her aunt sweetly. Seeing that her aunt's son was well raised, she couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Aunt, your husband married a good wife!"
At this time, most children were left to roam freely. Some of them were dirty, and the adults at home didn't care. They swallowed snot mixed with mud. That scene made Chu Yuan feel sick for a long time.
When Wang Cuihua heard Chu Yuan praising her child, the smile on her face became even bigger. For a mother, praising her child is more exciting than praising herself.
The look he gave Chu Yuan became more friendly, "Sister, where are you going to the countryside?"
Wang Cuihua looked around and saw that there were young people everywhere. She guessed that most of the people in this carriage were educated youth who had gone to the countryside.
Chu Yuan grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and handed them to Wang Cuihua, "Southern Island, where is your man, Auntie?"
Wang Cuihua felt a little embarrassed to take the melon seeds. After all, everything was precious at that time and there was no such thing as exchanging food. But melon seeds were something that could only be eaten a few times a year.
Noticing Aunt Wang swallowing her saliva, Chu Yuan stuffed the melon seeds into her arms and gave Mo Xi a handful, baring his teeth and saying, "You're welcome."
Wang Cuihua then put away the melon seeds in embarrassment, and when she heard what the elder sister said, she showed joy, "That's such a coincidence!
Your aunt is also going to the island, and my husband is in the Southwest Military Region."
Chu Yuan was a little excited when he heard this. He didn't expect to be in the same place as the aunt.
Wouldn't she be able to eat fresh melons first in the future?
"That's such a coincidence!" Chu Yuan smiled sincerely in order to get the first-hand information.
Wang Cuihua also smiled and looked at Chu Yuan's fair skin. What should she do when she went to the countryside?
Such a pretty girl actually went to such a miserable place.
I don’t know what her family thinks. She is so pretty and fair-skinned. If she were their daughter, they would definitely raise her in the palm of their hands.
"My dear sister, life on the island is so tough!
Why didn't your family treat you well?"
"I really want to go to an island. There are sea and mountains, and the scenery is beautiful!"
Chu Yuan was cracking melon seeds and looking around. Because many people found their seats, chatted for a few words and gradually quieted down, one cry was particularly eye-catching.
Wang Cuihua wanted to say something, but the crying sounds around her made her curious. She was attracted by the sound and saw a girl with pigtails crying in her seat.
“Another one who doesn’t want to go to the countryside.
Girls in cities are so precious nowadays that they won’t even heed the call of the country.
Going to the countryside is a contribution, but crying like the country is selling you out."
(#After the founding of New China, China Railway gradually began to implement seat assignment, with sleeper cars earlier and hard seat cars later. Before switching to computer ticketing, New China Railway used hardboard train tickets, which were printed in advance in the printing factory. The ticket only had information such as the station and fare, and no seat number was indicated)
(#After the implementation of seat assignment by number, when passengers go to the station to buy tickets, the ticket seller will stick a small piece of paper with the berth (or seat) number printed on it on the back of the hardboard ticket according to the passenger's needs. The hardboard ticket and the small piece of paper together form a complete train ticket)
##I didn't find out whether there was one in 1968, but I set it to have the exact seat number.
