Boys always feel poor

Chapter 7

From their current city G to the small town below T city in neighboring province J, the long-distance bus takes eight hours and costs 290 yuan per person, while the train takes more than ten hours and costs 105 yuan for a hard seat per person.

Lin Yi clenched the small cloth bag in his hand, stared at the big screen in the ticket office of the railway station for a long time, finally turned his head to look at Luo Qi, and whispered: "Give me the ID card, I'll go buy the ticket."

Luo Qi didn't know how much money Lin Yi had in his hands, but looking at his usual state and his expression at this moment, he knew that the 109 yuan fare cost him at least half of his money. savings.He couldn't help sighing in his heart, reached out his hand and took out his ID card from his pocket, plus the few dollars left over from the previous day, stuffed it all into Lin Yi's hands, winked at him, and said softly: "Don't feel bad. , When we get to the place, we can make money back.”

Lin Yi hooked the corners of his lips towards him, took the thin hard card into his hand, and stood in the long queue to buy tickets.

Fortunately, it is not a rush hour now, and more people will choose more comfortable sleeper berths after more than [-] hours of driving, so Lin Yi was able to buy two hard seats on the day the train drove.

Lin Yi still felt a bit heartbroken when he exchanged the money he saved so hard for these two thin and small blue papers.He returned Luo Qi's ID card to him, then put the two tickets together with the remaining 100 yuan, rewrapped them in the rag bag, put them away carefully, and said to Luo Qi: "Train It's five o'clock in the evening, let's go eat something first, and then think about finding a place to rest."

Whether it's Lin Yi, who is cautious, or Luo Qi, who is big-hearted and out of breath, when it comes to food, they will not be willing to spend more money.After all, they all knew that the only money they had left was to support them to reach new places and find new jobs.

They found a steamed food restaurant in front of the station. Lin Yi stared at the steamed buns for a while, lowered his eyes slightly, bought a few steamed buns, and squatted in front of the steamed food restaurant with Luo Qi, gobbling them up. Dividing these steamed buns, the kind proprietress stood behind the steamer and looked at the two of them. She found two bowls and poured a bowl of warm water for each of them.

There is probably nothing better than steamed buns to satisfy hunger. After one person eats two steamed buns, both of them feel a little more comfortable in their shriveled stomachs.Lin Yi got up and took the two bowls back, bought some steamed buns and put them in the old school bag.

They have to spend more than ten hours on the train, and it is impossible for them to afford the things on the train.

Luo Qi was full and his mood improved. He stood at the door of the steamed food shop, stretched his waist, and looked at the big clock on the train station not far away. It was not yet 8 o'clock, and they were 5 o'clock in the evening There is still plenty of time for the train.

Luo Qi glanced at the travelers who were hurrying to and fro near the station, and turned to look at Lin Yi: "Hey, there is still one day left, where shall we go?"

"Where are you going?" Lin Yi frowned. If it was normal, he would probably go to a few fixed places to pick up something, but after he was almost caught by Lin Changsheng in the morning, he really didn't dare to take the risk.After all, those were the only places he frequented, and if Lin Changsheng wanted to find him, he would probably go to those places as well.

It was time to waste another day of earning money, Lin Yi sighed lowly, took out the bus ticket, and handed the one with Luo Qi's name printed on it to him: "Anyway, there is nowhere to go, so why don't you just go?" Find a place to sleep in the waiting room, and get on the bus at night."

Luo Qi took the ticket and stuffed it into his pocket, followed Lin Yi towards the waiting room.

Passing by the opening ceremony of a mobile phone store, there were probably small gifts to be given out. There were many people around the open-air stage. The two squeezed through the crowd with great effort, and were almost separated halfway, so Luo Qi almost didn’t Without hesitation, he grabbed Lin Yi's hand.

The moment Lin Yi touched the slightly cool skin on the opponent's hand, Lin Yi was taken aback, and before he had time to react, Luo Qi squeezed him out of the crowd with his arms around his shoulders.

Only then did Lin Yi heave a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head, he saw the other party's arm still on his body, and said in a low voice, "Okay, there are not so many people now."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and let go of his hand. He turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the bustling mobile phone store, then at the waiting room that was just around the corner, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, you go in first, I suddenly Thinking about it, I still have something to do, and I will go to you when it is done."

Lin Yi was a little surprised. During the two days we knew each other, Luo Qi wished he could stick to him anytime and anywhere. This was the first time that he asked him to do something alone.He looked at Luo Qi for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What are you going to do, otherwise, shall I accompany you?"

Luo Qi smiled and shook his head: "You are thinking of going to the waiting room because you are worried about being discovered, right? So, don't worry, you can wait for me in the waiting room. Don't worry, I won't sneak away like you .”

Being poked into his heart, Lin Yi turned his head uncomfortably, waved at Luo Qi, and took out the ticket ID card to prepare for the ticket check into the waiting room. Luo Qi stood where he was, watching him go farther and farther with the team , smiled, and turned to leave, but Lin Yi suddenly poked his head out from the team and said loudly to Luo Qi: "I tell you, if you come back late, I won't wait for you."

Luo Qi rolled his eyes and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let you go alone."

Lin Yi felt that what he wanted seemed to be this guarantee, he waved his hand, checked the ticket and entered the station.

The railway station in City G was newly built in the past two years. There is a large waiting hall, including twenty or thirty ticket gates, and the daily flow of passengers is probably tens of thousands.

Lin Yi stared at the big screen for a long time before he found his train number and the corresponding ticket gate.He walked over slowly, found a seat facing the ticket gate and sat down.

This was the second time he took the train as a grown-up, and it was also the first time he came to the train station alone.

The station is full of hurried travelers. Some of them are alone with only a schoolbag on their backs, ready to embark on a journey. The hope of the whole family is to work hard in a strange city.

Lin Yi is actually very envious of such people. He has always felt that people are not afraid of hard work in life, as long as they can see hope, as long as they have meaning in existence, as long as they are not like Lin Changsheng, just be a waste.

But fortunately, he finally had to bid farewell to such a life.

Watching the passengers going back and forth stunned for a while, Lin Yi dug out the famous foreign book that he hadn't had time to read from his schoolbag, and looked down.

The night before, he decided to leave on the spur of the moment, taking advantage of the moment when Lin Changsheng was in a daze, he only had time to hold the schoolbag with all his savings and the book at hand.

I didn't expect it to come in handy.

He has been running around to make money for the past few days, and now he finally has time to read this book quietly, but he finds that he can't fully devote himself to it.

After turning a few pages, he couldn't help but look up to see the time on the big screen.In fact, he really wanted to know what Luo Qi had done, and he couldn't help but think that maybe Luo Qi didn't want to go to a strange city with him, and finally regretted it before entering the station.

That doesn't matter, anyway, he planned to leave alone, but it's just a pity that the ticket was lost.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi lowered his eyes and gently turned a page of the book in his hand.

Time passed by, and Lin Yi finally managed to finish reading the book in his hand. He raised his head to check the time, and found that there were only 10 minutes left before the start of ticket checking.

During the whole day, apart from getting up to go to the toilet a few times and getting some water from the faucet at the station, he just sat here and read a book without moving.

His position is very conspicuous, as long as that person comes in, he will definitely be able to see him.It's just that the people around him came and went, and he saw off the passengers one after another, but that person still didn't come back.

Lin Yi put the book in her schoolbag, stood up, and lined up in the gradually lengthening line in front of the ticket gate.

After all, just a passerby.Lin Yi was a little disappointed and thought, 105 yuan, I don't know how long it will take to earn it back.

"Starting from this station, the K1234 train bound for L station is now starting to check tickets..." The station broadcast began to remind the ticket check, and the line began to creep forward slowly.

Lin Yi lowered his head and looked at his own toes, followed the footsteps of the person in front of him and walked forward mechanically. After walking a few steps, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. Turning around, he was facing a very bright smiling face.

Luo Qi was stained with sweat on his forehead, panting after strenuous exercise, he held a white plastic bag in his hand and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi stared at the plastic bag with wide eyes, and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"

Luo Qi laughed, the corners of his eyes were rippling, and he said softly: "Buns." After a pause, he reached into his pocket and took out a few stacked banknotes, stuffing them together with the buns In the hands of Lin Yi, "Hey, it's agreed that you will take care of the money, but this is considered to be the payment of your fare first, although it may be a little short."

The buns were still warm, which made Lin Yi’s palms feel hot. He held the buns in one hand, and put the sweaty banknotes in the other palm. In front of him was Luo Qi’s bright smiling face. He opened his mouth, but I don't know where to start.

While the two people were talking, the team moved forward for a while, and the people behind them had already started to push and push the two people anxiously.Luo Qi turned his head and glanced at the man lightly, and put his arms around Lin Yi's shoulders, "Check the ticket first, then we'll talk about it when we get on the bus."

The author has something to say: train numbers and place names are all made up randomly. . .Everyone, don't sit on the same number.

Oh, Luo Qi is so sensible and will love others, you guys are really gratified.
