mortal train conductor

Chapter 111 Criticism and Dissatisfaction Originated from Empty Nest Loneliness
"Liu Che, a passenger in carriage 5 said that the car was unsanitary because she was bitten by a mosquito. I have already explained to her, but she still insists on making a complaint. Please come here." The conductor Li Mang said to Liu Qun on the walkie-talkie.

Liu Qun said: "Okay, I'll be here in 5 minutes." On the speeding K18 train, Liu Qun, who was using a video recorder to check the lock status of the car doors on the 17th car, replied to Li Mang and left the camp. The train crew took an electric mosquito swatter, and then quickly rushed to the No. 5 compartment.

As they walked past, Liu Qun asked Li Mang on the intercom: "How old is the complainant. Briefly tell me about her personal situation."

Li Mang said: "It looks like she is about 70 years old. She is an old lady. She is very fashionable in her clothes. It doesn't look like she is here to make trouble. When I comforted her just now, she started talking. He chattered endlessly, got off topic while talking, and said some irrelevant things, just like an old child."

Liu Qun said, "Okay, I understand."

Liu Qun thought while walking: It is really rare for such passengers to complain because they were bitten by mosquitoes. Could it be that they have cleanliness?If you complain about the train because you were bitten by a mosquito on the train, the reason for the complaint may not be tenable, but since the passenger has said it, then go over and have a look to see what the situation is, and the other party is still in his 70s The old lady is quite talkative after listening to Li Mang's meaning.

Liu Qun wondered: Is it the kind of empty-nest old man who goes on the Internet to call the police in order to talk to someone, and buy health care products in order to talk to someone?
When Liu Qun walked to the No. 5 car, he saw two mosquitoes lying on the windshield, so he electrocuted the two mosquitoes to death with an electric mosquito swatter.

Walking into the car, I saw a side seat for two people in the third row. A white-haired old lady who looked to be in her 3s was talking to Li Mang. Li Mang nodded frequently, and the old lady said happily.

The passengers in the carriage basically reached the capacity, but the strange thing is that the 4 seats on the two-person side of the old lady are only occupied by the old lady alone, and Li Mang sits opposite to him.The old lady turned her back to the direction Liu Qun was coming from. Li Mang saw Liu Qun approaching, and hurriedly got up and said, "Ma'am, you see that the train conductor is here. If you have anything to say, you can ask him for advice."

After Liu Qun went to sit opposite the old lady, the old lady pointed to a small red bump on her arm and said, "Comrade train conductor, you see, this is the mosquito bite on your car. The sanitation conditions in your car are not up to standard. And mosquitos."

Liu Qun thought: Can you ask me to get rid of the mosquito?Could it be that you were accidentally bitten by a mosquito when you went for a walk in the park, and you still have to complain about the park?
Think about it, talk about it.Liu Qun smiled and said to the old lady: "I am here to solve your difficulties, old lady."

As he spoke, he raised the electric mosquito swatter in his hand, "Just now I have electrocuted two mosquitoes at the door of the carriage, and one of them should have bitten you, so now I have avenged you."

The old lady looked at Liu Qun and said, "Oh, that's a good relationship, but now the mosquito has bitten me, how can you compensate me?"

Liu Qun thought: Oh, you were bitten by a mosquito, how can we compensate you?Could it be that I caught the mosquito and you bit it?
Liu Qun said: "We will compensate you with high-quality service, is that good? There is brown sugar water in the car, how about making a bowl of brown sugar water for you to replenish your blood?"

"No, I have diabetes, so I can't drink brown sugar water." The old lady said.

Liu Qun remembered that Zhang Lan was carrying a bag of jujubes on this trip.He hurriedly said: "Is this good? I'll give you some jujube to nourish your blood."

"That doesn't work either, I can't eat sweet or dried fruit," said the old lady.

Liu Qun said: "Then I will give you a bottle of Fengyoujing, which relieves itching and is very effective."

The old lady went on to say: "I don't need it, I don't feel itchy when mosquitoes bite me." The old lady said again.

Liu Qun lost his mind and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

The old lady smiled slightly and said to Liu Qun: "Well, if I don't want to complain to you, you have to have someone to talk with me and talk to me until I get off the car, then it is considered that you have provided quality service."

Now Liu Qun basically understands why other passengers at this seat would rather sit crowded in other seats or stand instead of sitting here.

It turns out that this old lady is a "Tang Monk" character in "A Chinese Journey to the West". Yes, keep talking.

Liu Qun also sympathized with this kind of old people.

Some media reported such a story: "For more than two years, an elderly Aunt Wang spent nearly 20 yuan on health care products. She even insisted on buying health care products knowing that there were problems. Her husband passed away early, and her son was far away. Aunt Wang in Japan said that many salespeople are closer than her son, who will call her regularly to greet her and have dinner with her. However, her son can only see her once a year and can’t say much.

She spends [-] to [-] yuan on health care products every year. She just wants to "cure" her loneliness. Only those salesmen "care, greet, and accompany" her like children. Such a stupid person?Aunt Wang smiled wryly, "I'm not stupid, I'm just helpless."

Some elderly people lack social communication and lack of love from their loved ones. Sometimes they know that it is a scam, but they are willing to send it to their door...

In the era of one-children, there were few children. One child could cope with several elderly people. In addition, the competition in the workplace was fierce and the pressure of life was high. Even if the children knew that the elderly had emotional needs, they were sometimes helpless.If you talk too much, you will cry. It is not easy for the elderly, and it is not easy for children.

Thinking of this, Liu Qun asked, "Which station did you get off at?"

"I'm going to station J." The old lady said.

"Oh, there are still 4 stops, 2 hours and 15 minutes." Liu Qun said.

Liu Qun thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, I promise you, the train staff will chat with you in different shifts, do you think this is okay?"

The old lady said: "Okay, okay, as long as someone talks with me, I am most afraid of loneliness."

Liu Qun looked at Li Mang who was standing aside, Li Mang was so frightened that he stood behind the old lady and waved his hands.

Liu Qun said as if he didn't see it: "Li Mang, I have a task for you. Besides working in the car, you can adjust with Wang Mengmeng in the No. 4 car at these stations. Besides working, you two will take turns chatting with the old lady. Son."

Li Mang agreed with a bitter face.

Liu Qun said to the old lady: "Besides working hours, the two boys come to accompany you after shifts. Do you think this is okay?"

The old lady said, "Okay, but don't leave me alone for too long."

Liu Qun called Li Mang aside and said, "Persevere, this is also a kind of training for your mentality. You can sit opposite the old lady, even if you think about other things, but when the old lady talks When you’re in bed, it’s enough to look at them occasionally, smile and nod your head, the old lady doesn’t want much, she just wants someone on the other side.”

Li Mang replied: "Liu Che, why don't I go to work, and you let Wang Mengmeng accompany this old lady, okay? I will work on two carriages."

"Is it that difficult to chat with an old lady?" Liu Qun asked.

Li Mang said with a wry smile: "Liu Che, you don't know. I have already learned about it just now. Let me give you an example. If you listen to a topic once, it is still interesting, and if you listen to it twice, it is acceptable. Listening to it three times can also be understood as the forgetfulness of the elderly. It takes a lot of patience to listen to it four times. I have heard the topic of "her old man was chased by a group of people when she was young" seven or eight times.

Liu Qun said: "Old people are the same as children. If a child repeats a topic, adults will find it cute, but if an old person repeats a topic, we may feel irritable. You should think of it as cultivating your character. Now you Go to battle first, I will inform Wang Mengmeng and let him take over in a while."

………………

After arriving at Station J and driving, Liu Qun came to the No. 5 carriage again, and saw Li Mang looking at him blankly, with dull and absent-minded eyes.When Liu Qun talked to Li Mang, Li Mang ignored him, as if he was greatly stimulated, and seemed to have no love in his life. It looked very much like the talkative "Tang Tang" in "A Chinese Journey to the West". SENG"'s language bombardment has just ravaged Zhizunbao to the point of death.

Liu Qun came to the No. 4 carriage again and saw Wang Mengmeng.It was found that Wang Mengmeng was in a state of excitement, and was sorting the luggage rack in the carriage, and a passenger seemed reluctant to let Wang Mengmeng sort it out.

But Wang Mengmeng said: "Sir, your luggage is not securely placed. If the train wobbles and falls and hits people, it is not good; Not good; even if you didn’t hit something, it’s not good to break yourself; even if you didn’t break yourself, it’s not good to break the floor; even if you didn’t break it, the floor didn’t break it , making such a loud noise, it’s not good to scare other passengers, even if it doesn’t scare people, in case..."

The passenger directly raised his hands in surrender: "All right, all right, all right, all you want, all you want, don't talk, as long as you don't talk, do whatever you want, just don't talk, don't talk!"

Liu Qun hurriedly turned his head and left while Wang Mengmeng didn't see him. It seems that Wang Mengmeng was infected by the old lady into "Tang Seng".
