Chapter 329 Boarding the Return Train
When Zhao Shuzhuo heard this, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face. That smile was like the sun shining through the clouds, full of surprise and joy.
With a gleam of gratitude in his eyes, he stepped forward, tightly grasped Cuiping's hand, and said sincerely:
"Really? That's great! Director, you really think of us. Thank you so much! Speaking of which, we have caused you a lot of trouble during the few days we have been here."
"You have always been very caring and hospitable to us, and we will always remember it. We really enjoyed our time together."
"Although we are about to part ways, we are all looking forward to the next opportunity to meet again, and then we can have a good chat."
Na Cuiping listened to Zhao Shuzhuo's affectionate and polite words, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a kind smile. She gently patted Zhao Shuzhuo's hand and said:
"You young people are so open and forthright. It's really pleasant to deal with you. I am also very happy to be able to serve you."
"If you encounter any problems or difficulties in the operation of the supply and marketing cooperative during your return, please feel free to write to me and ask."
"I will tell you everything I know and I won't hide anything. I am also looking forward to our next cooperation. I hope we can develop better by then."
Her words were warm and sincere, full of blessings for the future development of these young people.
The few of them continued chatting in the office for a long time, and a warm atmosphere filled the air.
Just then, a crisp knock on the door broke the harmony.
Na Cuiping quickly got up and walked towards the door with light steps. When she opened the door, she saw that it was Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu walked in hurriedly, with a hint of anxiety on his face, and said:
"Director, someone is looking for you outside. The person who came said he was a staff member of the railway station."
When Cuiping heard this, she said quickly:
"Please come in quickly."
After receiving the order, Xiao Liu quickly turned around and left. After a while, Xiao Liu brought the train station staff to the office.
The staff member came in with a polite smile on his face. Na Cuiping recognized him at a glance. It turned out that he was Xiao Song from the train station.
Xiao Song had just come to the supply and marketing cooperative with his leader that morning, so Na Cuiping still had an impression of him.
Xiao Song stepped forward, shook hands with Cuiping enthusiastically, and said respectfully:
"Director, I'm Xiao Song from the train station. I came with our leader this morning to talk to you about adding more carriages to transport goods."
"I came here to ask if your friends can leave now. The train is about to leave. If you want to leave, you have to hurry up."
Cuiping nodded quickly and said, "They can go, they can go. These are the ones."
As she spoke, she pointed at Wang Jianguo and the other two.
"Xiao Song, they are all very good young people. They have an important mission to return to the Great Northern Wilderness. You have to take good care of them along the way."
"They may not be familiar with the procedures at the train station. If they have any questions, please help them."
After explaining Xiao Song, Na Cuiping turned to look at Wang Jianguo and the other two, her eyes full of concern, and said:
"Just follow Xiao Song and ask him if you have any questions. Be sure to pay attention to safety along the way and arrive safely. Okay, time is running out, so go quickly."
After hearing what Cuiping said, Wang Jianguo and the other two were filled with gratitude.
They walked up to Na Cuiping again, shook hands with her one by one and said goodbye, their words full of gratitude for her care over the past few days and their anticipation of seeing her again.
After saying goodbye to Na Cuiping, they followed Xiao Song and left the supply and marketing cooperative and walked towards the train station.
Along the way, they were excited and reluctant to leave, and were full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.
Xiao Song brought Wang Jianguo, Zhao Shuzhuo and He Yushui to the carriage next to the cargo on the train.
This carriage is completely different from ordinary passenger carriages. There are no comfortable seats inside. It is empty, with only mountains of cargo.
However, Xiao Song is a very thoughtful person, and he was only thinking about making the three passengers as comfortable as possible.
He searched everywhere in the carriage and finally found the raincoat and military coat with great effort.
Then he carefully cleared a clean and tidy area on the ground and laid the rainproof cloth underneath.
Then they folded the military coats and placed them on top, creating a simple yet warm resting place for the three of them.
Xiao Song stood up, dusted himself off, and said to the three people:
"You can rest here. This train goes directly to Beidahuang, which is the final stop. You must not get off the train during the journey."
"If you need anything, please come to the duty room in the previous car and find me. I'm on duty there."
Xiao Song finished speaking and was about to turn around and leave. At this time, Wang Jianguo said to him with a hint of apology:
"Comrade Xiao Song, I have something to trouble you with. You see, we left in such a hurry that we didn't even have time to buy food."
"This train journey is long, and we can't go without food. Could you please help us get some food?"
"Here's ten dollars. Take it. If there's any left, you can keep it for yourself. It's our way of thanking you."
As he said that, Wang Jianguo hurriedly took out a crumpled ten-yuan bill from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Song's hand without any explanation.
Xiao Song hesitated for a moment, but seeing Wang Jianguo's sincere eyes, he did not refuse, took the money, and said to Wang Jianguo:
"Okay, wait here for a while, I'll get you something to eat."
After saying that, he turned around quickly and left the car.
Xiao Song jogged all the way and first asked in the dining car of the train if there was any ready-made food, but the supply in the dining car was also very limited.
So he hurried to the platform of the train station and moved between the small stalls selling food.
He carefully selected and bought a bag of hot sesame cakes and buns, but was afraid that they were too dry, so he returned to the duty room and took out the lunch box he had prepared.
The lunch box contained homemade pickles, which were made by his mother herself, and the taste was so authentic.
Not long after, Xiao Song came back panting. His face was red, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead. He handed the lunch box and sesame cake to Wang Jianguo and said:
"Comrade, the food on the train is not that rich. I went to several places to buy these sesame cakes and buns for you."
"There are pickles in this lunch box. My mother pickled them for me. They are delicious. You can try them. There is water next to the duty room. If you are thirsty, you can go and get some to drink."
