Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 118 On the Train
Knowing it was for work, Changmei was still a little reluctant to part with her younger brother.
After all, it's so far away, and we're unfamiliar with the area.
She helped Chang Kun pack his clothes and shoes, and even wanted to steam the remaining rice so that Chang Kun could take it with him on the road.
Chang Kun quickly stopped him, knowing that he had plenty of meat buns and steamed buns in his system space, so he would never have to worry about food.
As for home, I'm afraid the little girls won't eat well while I'm away these past few days.
When he went out to the river, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Chang Kun frantically caught fish in the river, filling most of his basket, and took them home to keep in a water tank.
They went to the foot of the mountain again, caught three burrows of wild rabbits, tied them up, took them home, and left them in the shed.
There's still a goose, ten laying hens, and six wild rabbits in the shed—enough for the family to eat.
There were also some water chestnut cakes and morel mushrooms in the space, so they were all taken out and placed in a small basket under the roof beam.
Pork skin jelly, fried cicadas, and dried tangerine peel were placed on the eight-immortal table for the little girls to grab and eat when they were hungry.
I'm about to leave home, and even though it's only for a few days, my feelings are quite complicated. I feel that everything in my hometown is so beautiful and I can never get enough of looking at it.
evening.
When Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan returned home, they were extremely reluctant to see Chang Kun go to the Northeast. Their son had never been far from home before.
"What a lousy company! They send people to other places all the time. I should have just told you to work at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Liu Meifen kept muttering to herself as she checked Chang Kun's belongings over and over again, worried that her son would suffer over there.
Chang Dashan stood silently to the side, puffing on his pipe.
After dinner, Chang Kun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), recalling his past life's experience of going to Northeast China, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
In his previous life, he went to Northeast China to seek revenge on Qin Meiru's family, his heart filled with resentment.
Going to Northeast China at this time, my only thought is of my family.
In the courtyard, many villagers gathered, ready to listen to the radio.
Liu Meifen was not as happy as usual; she was still worried about her son who was going to such a far place.
Zhang Pianxin stood in the courtyard, head held high, talking to a few close friends about his son Zhang Quhun going to work in the city, leaving the villagers stunned.
When did it become possible for idiots to work in the city?!
When the villagers learned that Chang Kun had introduced them to the job, their eyes lit up with excitement. "If even a fool could do it, then we can do it too!"
Chang Dashan quickly explained that the security team next to his police station only accepted tall and strong men.
This dispelled the villagers' idea.
These days, people can't even get enough to eat, so who would dare to call themselves tall and strong?
Only that idiot Zhang Quhun doesn't lose weight even when he drinks water.
Even so, the villagers still surrounded Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen, hoping that Chang Kun would take good care of them.
……
The family didn't sleep well that night.
Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen, the elderly couple, were worried about Chang Kun and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.
The three little girls all ran to Chang Kun's west kang (heated brick bed) and wanted their eldest brother to sleep with them.
The next morning, Chang Kun gently moved the arms and legs off him, patted the foreheads of the girls, and got up to go to the stove.
I still have to go; I just hope to return soon.
"Xiao Kun, have some dumplings."
Dumplings on the way up, noodles off the way down.
Liu Meifen got up before dawn to make dumplings, hoping only for her son's safety and well-being.
In the past, even porridge had to be eaten on a whim, and even if there was flour, it would have been replaced with cornmeal mixed with corn. It was rare to eat dumplings during the Lunar New Year.
Now that her family's financial situation has improved, Liu Meifen often buys affordable items from the supply and marketing cooperative to cook for her family.
Watching his mother bustling about by the stove amidst the rising steam, Chang Kun was reminded of his past life.
I also went to Northeast China, but when I came back, I didn't even get to see my mother one last time.
Suddenly my nose feels so sore!
Chang Kun sniffed and stepped forward to put his arm around Liu Meifen's shoulder.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be careful and try to get home as soon as possible."
After eating dumplings and saying goodbye to his parents and eldest sister without waking the little girls, Chang Kun set off on his journey.
On the way, Chang Kun threw the clothes and items he was carrying into his spatial storage, feeling truly relaxed.
Arrived at the train station.
Chang Kun only had his train ticket in his hand, but everyone he passed carried large and small bags.
In those days, not many people took the train, even at stations in Beijing, let alone other stations.
Seeing this, Chang Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
He feared encountering the scene of the Spring Festival travel rush in later generations, where crowds of people would have to squeeze through the windows to get on the train.
The train attendants stand at the doors of their respective carriages to maintain order, but do not check tickets; ticket checking only begins after the train has departed.
At that time, there were very few trains, and the trains would stop frequently along the route, picking up a few people at each station. By the time they reached the capital, the carriages were already quite full.
Chang Kun found his seat, holding his breath, and luckily it was a window seat.
The smell in the carriage was absolutely awful!
The stench of mutton, the stench of feces, and all sorts of pungent, smoky smells were enough to make anyone faint!
After finally squeezing into his seat, Chang Kun stuck his head out of the window and took a few deep breaths to catch his breath.
Thankfully, the car windows could be rolled up at this time, otherwise the stench would have been unbearable!
A few minutes later, the train started moving.
With the clanging sounds, Chang Kun became drowsy, having not slept well last night because of the little girls' antics.
Since I didn't have any luggage, I wasn't afraid of it being stolen.
It takes almost a day to get to Harbin.
I woke up from a nap, checked my watch, and only two hours had passed.
The train was incredibly slow at that time; it took two hours to travel over 100 kilometers. It had to stop at every station, and each stop lasted at least ten minutes.
At this time, the carriage was crowded and mixed with people.
Going to the toilet is like embarking on a pilgrimage, requiring overcoming countless hardships.
The train police officer, holding a baton, shouted all the way, cursing anyone who occupied two seats, had smelly feet and took off their shoes, or lay on the ground preventing others from moving.
Anyone who dared to argue or be stubborn would be slapped across the face. If they dared to keep arguing, they would be kicked to the ground without any hesitation. This was unlike later generations, where you would be given three chances.
Just as I was about to get up and stretch, a panicked cry rang out.
"Comrade! My child is missing, please help!"
A young woman in her early twenties, with her hair disheveled, was covered in sweat and her clothes were soaked through.
The shout alerted the train police officer inside the carriage.
"Sit still and don't move!"
"I'm talking to you!"
The police baton pointed at several people who had stood up to watch the commotion, ordering them to stay where they were.
Don't panic. If your child is lost on the train, whether they went to the wrong carriage or were abducted, you can find them by searching the entire train before it stops at the next station.
"Don't panic, tell me how old the child is and what clothes they are wearing?"
The older train police officer calmed the young woman down and helped her calm down.
"A three-year-old girl, wearing a blue floral dress and pants."
The young woman calmed down and didn't dare to waste any more time.
The older train police officer frowned upon hearing this. Such a young child shouldn't be allowed to run around alone.
The young train police officer also thought of this, muttering to himself, "This is troublesome!! It's only a five-minute drive to the next station! What if..."
Upon hearing this, the young woman's legs went weak, and she could barely stand.
At that time, whenever the train stopped at a station and the doors opened, many people would squeeze their legs together and run out, and some would even crawl out of the windows.
It's all because I needed to pee. There was no other way; going to the toilet in the train carriage was just too difficult!
"Search! Search one carriage at a time!"
"Especially in the women's carriage, go and ask if anyone has seen the little girl!"
The older train police officer quickly calmed down. No matter how urgent the situation, he had to do his best!
Chang Kun overheard the whole thing and thought of his little Xiu'er at home, a three-year-old girl. He thought how heartbroken he and his family would be if she were lost!
He scanned the carriage with the system's sensors, and several traces of humanoid prey immediately appeared.
At this time, most of the criminals in the carriage were thieves, but what if there were human traffickers among them?
Don't say that babies are worthless and nobody wants them these days.
If a child is good-looking, she will be worth a lot of money no matter where she is sold. Chang Kun knew from the appearance of the child and the young woman that the little girl would be good-looking.
"Officer, I'm a criminal investigator, I can help!"
Chang Kun stood up and shouted loudly.
