C3 (1/2)
That night, Zi Peng and the others took the money and food stamps and bought some sesame seed cakes for a hearty meal. Afterwards, they went to the train station and each of them bought a train ticket to Pinggang. Maybe someone would ask, wasn't it to go to the generalization? Why did you only buy a flat hill for a ticket? The answer is: no money. He only had a total of 30 plus coins. Buying a sesame seed cake would remove 20 plus points, how could he use the money to buy a ticket to the generalization? Around 11 PM, Zi Peng's family of five got on the train from Siping to generalization. In the middle of the night, he began to check the tickets. When the train attendant found the tickets of Zi Peng and the others, he found out that they had arrived at Pinggang, so he angrily said:
”The draw is over? You guys hurry to the front station and get off. ”
At that moment, the conductor walked over. He was tall, in his thirties, with a pretty face and a big square face. He was very handsome. He was very dignified, dressed in railway clothes, with the ”conductor” armband on his arm. He walked up to Zi Peng and the others, picked up his ticket and glanced at it, then said:
”Eldest Sister-in-Law, hurry up and make up the tickets. We will not let you have your money.”
At this moment, the mother fell to her knees with a thud, and told the story from beginning to end with tears in her eyes. Finally, the mother cried and said:
”Comrade Captain, please, please. Not only do we have no money, we don't even have any food to eat. Please be magnanimous, let us sit in the generalization. I kowtowed to you. ”
As she spoke, her mother was about to kowtow. The conductor quickly helped his mother up with both hands. At this moment, many people in the carriage began to shed tears of sympathy. The conductor did not speak for a long time. After pondering for a long time, he finally said:
”Alright, I'll let you all sit in generalization.”
Only then did their entire family heave a long sigh of relief … At around 8 AM on the next day, the train arrived at generalization's old station. After getting off the car, the five of them walked out of the train station and arrived at the square. Because they had just arrived here, they were unfamiliar with this place. They could not differentiate between east, south, west, nor did they know which direction the Erdao River Power Plant was in. They could only rely on asking for directions to determine the route. He asked a few people and found out that there was a big guest at Erdaojiang. Thus, they sat on the bus s that were heading to the Erdaojiang and came to the Erdaojiang. Even after she got off the car, her eyes were still dark and she still needed to ask for directions. At this time, my mother went to find out about the people on the road, and asked them how to get to Power plant. They said that the Power plant was in the Peach Blossom, about five miles away. Without a car, they could only walk. After learning of these circumstances, Zi Peng and the other three of them walked towards Power plant in accordance to the direction that they had pointed out. Zi Peng's Third Uncle was working in the Power plant. Actually, the route to Power plant was very easy to find. Just follow the railway line and you will reach there. This was all because they were unfamiliar with it. After walking for over an hour, Zi Peng and the rest finally arrived at the eastern gate of the Erdao River Power Plant. At this time, the mother went to the guard at the door to inquire about the Third Uncle.
The Third Uncle was called Wang Yandong, and he was an uncle brother to Zi Peng's father. He was the director of Power plant. Zi Peng's father was Third Uncle and Zi Peng's grandfather were brothers. For this reason, they were relatively close.
After the guard called them, Wang Yandong arrived at their side not long later. Wang Yandong was about 1.65 metres tall, he had a fat figure, with a square face and a pair of glasses. He was wearing a set of official uniform, with a smile on his face, appearing to be full of energy. He quickly took two steps forward, grabbed his father and mother's hands, and said:
”second brother, Second Sister-in-Law, why are you two here? Why didn't you write a letter before you came? ”What are the names of these three children?” Mother said:
”The big one is called Zi Peng, the second one is called Chun Lan, and the small one is called Wen Zhan. Why aren't the three of you coming over to greet your Third Uncle? ” The three of them came over and said in unison, ”Good morning, Third Uncle!” Third Uncle also said: ”Hello everyone!”
At this time, the Third Uncle turned around and said to his parents:
”second brother, Second Sister-in-Law, let's go home. This is not the place to talk. ”
Thus, these five people followed Third Uncle to his house. After entering the house, the Third Uncle hastily shouted:
”Dad, look who's here?” At this time, Zi Peng's third grandfather and Third Aunt all walked out of the house. When she asked how she could think of Northeast China, her mother explained everything in detail from beginning to end. Finally, the mother said:
”I went to Wen Tian's place. Since I lost my account and didn't have a place to stay, I had no choice but to come and trouble Third Brother. I also caused trouble for my great-uncle and siblings' families.”
Zi Peng's Third Uncle took over and said:
”What trouble? The whole family is still talking like that?” Since I'm here, I'll definitely help you get an account and find a job for Zi Peng. You can stay here for the time being. Third Uncle said to Third Aunt, ”Hurry up and cook. second brother and the others must be hungry. After eating, and the rest can have a good sleep. ”
