Powerful and romantic

The speed of the train is not fast. The trains of this era are basically slow and slow. This makes Xu Junran, who is used to the speed of the trains of later generations, not quite used to it at first, but after riding more times, he got used to it.

Shuangqi City really has an airport, but there is no direct flight to the capital. In Songhe Province, only the airport in Binzhou, the capital of Songhe Province, can fly directly to the capital. Xu Junran is not willing to go to Binzhou so hard just to take a plane .

Outside the car window, the snow-covered land receded as the train continued to move forward, as if someone was pushing behind it.Looking along the snow field, it is a vast expanse of whiteness, which is quite a bit like the silver-covered plains in the poem, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

For Xu Junran, this is indeed very strange. After all, he lived in the south no matter in his previous life or when he was a child. He is still very curious about the north, especially this kind of wild snow scene, which is a rare sight in the city. Xu Junran's psychological age is dozens of years old, and he is also curious. He just lay on the edge of the window and looked outside curiously.To be honest, this was really different from the scenery he had seen before.

In the winter snow and evening sunshine, you can vaguely see the smoke from the kitchen not far away, as well as the farmers walking on the road, the agricultural vehicles driving on the country road, and the unique slogans on the fence walls of the farmhouses along the railway line. Although he couldn't see it clearly, Xu Junran could tell that it should be about cutting off the tail of capitalism, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xu Junran wanted to tell people around him that it is meaningless to discuss whether the surname is capital or society. , because after 30 years, last names don't matter anymore.

Before he knew it, the scenery outside could no longer be seen. Xu Junran looked at his watch, it turned out that it was time for dinner.

"Grilled fish fillets with beer and white wine, cigarettes and drinks with ham sausage..." Hearing a familiar voice, Xu Junran couldn't help laughing.It seems that the business on the train is still so interesting.

"Sister, how much is this lunch box?" Xu Junran stopped the conductor pushing the car and asked with a smile.

Perhaps it was because Xu Junran's polite attitude was quite good, the man said, "Five yuan a piece."

Xu Junran frowned.The monthly salary of a worker in these years is only a few tens of dollars.The better ones cost 100 yuan, but this box lunch costs [-] yuan. The hearts of the railway department are a little too dark.But he didn't say anything, nodded and bought a copy.

I believe everyone who has been on the train has a deep understanding of the taste of the boxed lunch on the train. Xu Junran really has nothing to say about the leaders of a certain department in our great motherland except scolding his mother. Regarding the matter of senior railway officials, many times, there are some things how to deal with them.It doesn't depend on how big a mistake the person made, but on how the above thinks.

It's just like the reciprocity of greetings and gifts in officialdom, gift-giving is not equal to adultery, this is a natural fact.But sex must include gift-giving, which is also a matter of course.The biggest difficulty in being a leader is being unable to resist gifts from others.If you refuse someone's kindness, you refuse the job.Rejected relationships, rejected his own political future.Rejecting other people's gifts breaks the original balance and harmony, hurts other people's face, and loses one's own interests.

Xu Junran is very clear.Whether or not to collect money in the officialdom is not a simple question of integrity, but a complicated one.The person who gave the money was fine, but he felt safe after receiving the money, but it was a bit troublesome not to accept the money.You go against the trend, you are an outlier.If you don't accept it, you will be alienated, not enough friends, not one of your own.If you are honest, it means that you are not one of us. On the political stage, you will be defeated.This phenomenon is no longer a problem of a specific person, but has become a social trend.

 

Of course, Xu Junran also knew that he couldn't change this kind of social atmosphere. The only thing he could do was to change the situation around him as much as he could.

Just as he was about to take out his chopsticks to eat, the door of the berth was opened, and a man and woman in their 40s walked in from the outside. The woman held a child in her arms, and the man held a ticket in his hand. He glanced at the aluminum plate on the berth Then he looked at the ticket in his hand, wiped his forehead, and said to the woman beside him, "This is it."

The woman nodded, glanced at Xu Junran, and then sat down opposite him, while the man put the luggage of the two of them under the bed.

"Big brother, do you smoke?" After putting away his things, the man took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Xu Junran, greeting him warmly.

Xu Junran could tell that he had a northern accent, and he seemed to be a native of Songhe Province. He shook his head slightly and refused the other party's cigarette. Xu Junran pointed to the no-smoking sign on the carriage: "Sorry, smoking is not allowed here."

The man was taken aback, then nodded embarrassingly, put away the cigarette, took out a bunch of food from his package, handed it to the woman beside him, and greeted Xu Junran politely: "Brother, let's eat together." point."

"No, I have it here." Xu Junran declined politely with a smile. After all, he was away from home. Although the couple seemed to be in no danger, Xu Junran still felt that he should be more careful. Must have.

The middle-aged man chuckled, unscrewed the small wine bottle and drank it by himself. While drinking, he chatted with everyone. He was very familiar with Xu Junran after a short time. He even took out his business card and handed it to the two of them. Sure enough, he was a salesman of a large state-owned enterprise in Songhe Province.

Xu Junran had no idea, his attention was attracted by the child in the arms of the woman.

The child is not very old, about three or four years old, holding a milk bottle in his arms, long eyelashes, white and tender skin as delicate as water can be squeezed out, and the clothes on his body are also very particular, Xu Junran When I was in Beijing, I occasionally went to see it with my classmates. They were all relatively high-end children's clothing in the shopping malls, and ordinary people must not be able to afford them.He remembered that his party school classmate who was the deputy secretary of the county party committee at that time bought a set for his daughter after gritted his teeth and spent two months' salary.

If it's just that, that's all. The most important thing is that the man and woman who appeared opposite Xu Junran, especially the middle-aged woman, although her clothes are clean, Xu Junran feels that she is not suitable for this child.

Moreover, the child slept a little too heavily. From entering the carriage until now, Xu Junran was stunned to see that the child was awake.

"Big brother, where are you going?" The middle-aged man was still chatting with Xu Junran. This guy is very enthusiastic and always likes to find something to say.

Xu Junran chuckled: "The capital."

"The capital?" The man was obviously taken aback, and then laughed: "The capital is a good place. I have been there a few times when I was on business. Tsk tsk, it is indeed our capital."

Xu Junran smiled and nodded: "Brother, it's really late for you to have a child. Sister-in-law suffered a lot when she gave birth to this child?"

"Ah? Am I that young? Hehe, this is my granddaughter. The child's parents are in northern Liaoning. My wife and I sent the child to see her parents."

"Oh, poor parents in the world."

"By the way, listen to the accent, little brother, aren't you a local?"

"Yes, my family is in Jiangnan and I work in Shuangqi City."

The two were chatting nonchalantly, but Xu Junran noticed that the middle-aged woman put the child on the inner side of the bed, turned her back to herself and the man, as if she was already asleep, but the man was still sleeping. I was chatting with myself, as if I didn't notice it.

Looking down at his watch, Xu Junran found that these two people had been in for almost three or four hours.

The strange thing is that the child has never made a sound.

Something is wrong!

Xu Junran's mind suddenly flashed the situation in a case he had encountered at the grassroots level in his previous life, which was about how human traffickers abducted and trafficked children.

In all likelihood, these two are human traffickers!

Taking out the snacks he bought, Xu Junran handed them to the middle-aged man and said, "Brother, give it to my granddaughter. I don't think it's okay for the child to sleep all the time."

The man's expression froze when Xu Junran mentioned the child, and even Xu Junran could clearly see that the middle-aged woman's shoulders trembled obviously, but it seemed that because Xu Junran didn't mention her, so She continued to pretend to be asleep there.

After hesitating for a moment, the man pushed back the snacks that Xu Junran handed over, and pretended to be calm and said: "No need, big brother. This kid loves to sleep, and he probably won't wake up if he doesn't sleep for seven or eight hours. The day before yesterday I've been crying all night, and now I'm sleepy."

Although his expression looked very calm, Xu Junran could tell from his calm expression that this guy's eyes were obviously flustered.

Having confirmed the identity of the other party in his heart, Xu Junran nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked, "What are the parents of the child doing in Liaobei? Why don't they bring the child with them?"

The man was obviously taken aback by Xu Junran's question, and then he saw Xu Junran's calm face, put on a leisurely longing expression and continued: "When I graduated from university, I wanted to go to the oil fields in northern Liaoning. It's a pity, the family disagrees, so I have no choice but to come to Songhe Province."

Hearing what he said, the man felt relieved. He could tell just now that the young man in front of him was not simple. In comparison, hearing Xu Junran say that he is a college student now makes the man feel at ease. College students are like this, they like to think wildly.

Little did he know, Xu Junran's hand under the table had already tightly grasped a wooden stick that had been placed under the bed since he entered the door.
