Chapter 283 Entering Beijing
Qiu Huoming had been in and out of the provincial capital several times and had gained some experience, but this was his first time riding in a sedan.
The feeling along the way was completely different. After leaving the bumpy section, the provincial road gradually became smooth.
This experience is really great. The sedan is not as hard as the jeep and the shock absorbers are softer.
Qiu Huoming took another nap in the car.
After dozens of minutes, he woke up and looked out the window. It was winter and there was really no beautiful scenery. Qiu Huoming looked for a while and then lost interest.
Professor Li happened to wake up. He yawned, picked up the cup and drank some tea. The tea was already cold, and he frowned.
Qiu Huoming asked curiously, "Professor Li, why don't you buy a thermos cup? You travel a lot, so why don't you go to the Friendship Store in Beijing or Shenhai and buy one? It's very useful."
Professor Li glanced at him and said, "Why, you bought one for your parents, but you didn't think of buying one for me?"
When he was a guest at the Qiu family this time, he had already been given a general education by Chen Suniang. Chen Suniang showed him the things that Qiu Huoming had sent one by one. Looking at her attitude, she seemed to want to tell everyone about it.
The two thermos cups that Qiu Huoming bought were naturally included in the list.
As the one who lived the farthest away from home, Qiu Huoming immediately became the focus of the topic. Everyone was very curious about Guangzhou, especially some of the relatives and friends around them. Anyone who went there would always bring back some particularly trendy electrical appliances.
"Come, let me introduce you to a few of them." After collecting the tickets, Professor Li gathered everyone together and began to introduce them.
Teacher Xuan and Professor Li are colleagues.
"I am the leader of this trip. When we get to the station, you will meet a few other students who are traveling with you. They are all young geniuses. We will take them to Beijing to learn more."
"If you hadn't insisted on going to the South, you would have been involved in this incident as well."
It was less than 1: in the afternoon when they arrived at the train station. In the waiting hall, Qiu Huoming saw four other students on the trip, three boys and one girl, who were also accompanied by a female teacher.
"I see."
"Qiu Huoming, are there electrical appliance stores everywhere in your area? Are there many foreigners?" Zhao Youxin, who has a lively personality, was the first to ask questions.
"Forget it, I'll just buy it myself." Professor Li sighed and leaned back in his seat.
The three boys were of different ages. The youngest was about 14 or 5 years old, named Jiang Yi. The oldest was about 21 or 2 years old, named Zhao Youxin. The other boy, who was a dull boy wearing thick glasses, was named Wu Dali.
The girl had short hair and looked like a tomboy. She was about 16 or 7 years old. Her name was very feminine: Qiao Yuxiang.
The train hadn't arrived yet, and a few people were chatting in the waiting room. They were all from the same province, and it didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other.
Qiu Huoming:...
"I don't need to introduce myself. You all know me. I am the captain of our small group. The vice-captain is Teacher Xuan..."
Qiu Huoming had nothing to do anyway, so he patiently answered the questions one by one.
Jiang Yi and Wu Dali are from the same school, while Zhao Youxin and Qiao Yuxiang are from different schools.
Qiu Huoming silently replied in his heart, I went to the South, and I also had a share, but this time he did not follow the university route, but followed the magazine.
Qiu Huoming then asked, "Professor Li, why are you going to the capital this time?"
The car arrived in the provincial capital around noon. Everyone was too full from the meat buns they had eaten earlier, so after having a bowl of noodles on the roadside, they rushed to the train station.
On the way, several people shared the meat buns prepared by Chen Suniang. The driver praised them highly, but the taste was a little worse after the meat buns got cold.
By the time it was time to get on the bus, he had already become the leader of this small group.
Professor Li and Teacher Xuan smiled knowingly. It would be great if the students could get along well with each other. This way, they could have one less thing to worry about.
When I was leading a team in the past, I often encountered some students who were arrogant and had awkward personalities, and I couldn’t scold them, so my life on the road was not easy.
Six people were in the same private room. Professor Li followed his style and lived alone in the lower bunk of the next private room, which was separated from their room by only a board.
Qiao Yuxiang and Teacher Xuan lived on the lower bunk, Qiu Huoming and Jiang Yi lived on the middle bunk, and Zhao Youxin and Wu Dali lived on the upper bunk.
No one brought much luggage. They were all studying in Luzhou, and Qiu Huoming had to go back to Yangcheng. He was carrying a suitcase and a backpack, and he seemed to have the most things.
After Professor Li settled down, he came in to visit, holding a cup of tea.
As soon as he sat down, he heard the sound of wheels rubbing against rails. After a "boom", the whistle sounded, the train started, the body of the train shook a little, and began to move forward steadily. The sound of "clang clang" rang rhythmically in his ears.
Qiu Huoming glanced out the window and saw that the train was gradually leaving the platform.
He exhaled and was on the road again.
This train is the only one from Luzhou that goes to Beijing. It stops at more than 20 stations, large and small, and it is almost impossible to get a ticket. This time, my unit also stepped forward to purchase the tickets in advance.
In the evening, the food delivery cart arrived.
Everyone's meals today are at public expense, and none of them were polite and ordered a set meal.
Qiu Huoming ordered the spicy chicken, which cost 1 yuan per portion. The food truck staff prepared it on the spot, and the taste was comparable to that of the chefs in some big hotels.
Qiu Huoming prepared his meal and started eating with an aluminum lunch box and special chopsticks. These lunch boxes and chopsticks are recyclable. It was not until after 85 that these recyclable aluminum lunch boxes were gradually replaced by disposable foam lunch boxes.
After the meal, everyone's positive comments about the train increased.
This train is a star train specially built by Anhui Province, and the service is very good.
After dinner, Qiu Huoming had nothing to do, so he washed up and lay back on bed.
He flipped through the book for a while, and as the car swayed, the book loosened its grip and he slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, after everyone washed up and had breakfast on the train, the train finally arrived at the station.
There was a person holding a sign at the exit. As the group approached, the person shouted, "Hey, Professor Li, I've been waiting for you to come."
The other party put away the sign and walked over quickly.
Professor Li laughed out loud, "Chang Gong! Why did the hospital send you out today?"
Chang Gong is in his 40s, with a strong physique. He is wearing work clothes and looks like he just came out of a workshop.
Workers were very popular in that era, and the clothes he wore were almost equivalent to a set of branded clothes in later generations.
"I heard that you were the one leading the team, so I volunteered!"
"Mr. Chang, this is Teacher Xuan. This one is Qiu Huoming, my favorite student..." Professor Li introduced everyone present one by one.
After the introduction, he turned around to greet the students and followed them out.
Qiu Huoming followed them carrying a box and a backpack.
Although the temperature in the capital city is lower than that in Wucheng County, it does not feel cold. The hat that Qiu Huoming wears is very wind-resistant, so he does not feel cold even when the wind blows on his head.
Several other students were in a similar situation. When they went outside, they huddled together and looked around curiously.
The bus stopped in the parking lot. The driver stood in front of the bus, smoking and looking around. When he saw Chang Gong coming, he immediately put out the cigarette butt and stuffed the remaining half into his jacket pocket.
Everyone got on the bus one after another, and the bus drove directly towards Zhongguancun, which became famous in later generations.
This is the headquarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has a special guesthouse.
The capital is very different from southern cities. The buildings here are taller and the roads are emptier. In the middle of winter, all you see is the same color, which looks both solemn and a bit desolate.
Several students came for the first time and looked out the window.
