Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 98
"Hey, there's a lottery draw over there, how about we go over and have a look?"

On the way back to Liu Chang's city from the train station, Zhang Xue stopped Liu Chang when she saw a place on the side of the road holding a lottery.

After winning the prize last year, Zhang Xue hadn't touched these things for a while. Seeing the lottery draw by the roadside, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

"No, we can't take back the things we have drawn, there is no need for that."

Liu Chang glanced over there. The first prize was a refrigerator, the second prize was a color TV, and the third prize was a bicycle.

These are big items, and they can't take them away if they win.

"It seems to be true. It's a pity. It would be great if all the awards were given money."

After listening to Liu Chang's words, Zhang Xue felt a little regretful.

It's a pity that it's not in their city, otherwise she would really be able to win the prize. She is very confident about her luck in winning the prize.

"Uh……"

Liu Chang on the side was speechless after hearing this, and didn't know how to answer.

For a person like him, no matter what kind of prize he wins, the most he can get is a consolation prize, there is no common topic at all, and it is full of hurt.

"Liu Chang, are you in the city?"

At this moment, Liu Chang's phone rang with an unfamiliar phone number. After he answered the phone, he realized that it was Wang Li calling.

"Not here, what's the matter? Aren't you on the train today? Why do you still have time to call me?"

Wang Li also goes to work on the tenth day of the new year, and the siblings will leave today.

Because Liu Chang had something to discuss here, they were worried that Liu Chang would not go back so soon, so they were not prepared to go with Liu Chang.

"Don't mention it, the train station is full of people, we can't get on the train, and we are still waiting in line at the square outside the train station. My sister is queuing up, and I thought of calling you when I was buying cigarettes."

After taking a puff of cigarette, Wang Li looked at the dense crowd of people in the square, and replied a little depressed.

Before, Liu Chang and his sister had talked about the situation of the train station during the Spring Festival travel season, but he never really believed it.

It feels like a train can pull so many people, how can someone not get on the train.

Seeing such a terrifying scene now made him realize what Spring Festival travel is.

Not counting the people in the waiting room inside the train station, there might be tens of thousands of people stranded in the square outside.

It's densely packed, and there are people everywhere.

If he hadn't happened to be standing next to the canteen, Wang Li wouldn't have dared to run around, for fear of not being able to find anyone.

In addition to the people waiting for the bus, there are teams of soldiers maintaining order.

The police can no longer maintain such a scene.

"I'm going back to the city now. If you don't get on the bus later, just give me a call, and I'll help you figure out a way when the time comes."

After hearing this, Liu Chang thought for a while and replied.

He will leave tomorrow morning. If he hurry up, he can still catch up in the morning of the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Wang Li and the others couldn't get on the train, so they could go with him then.

"Well, okay! I really can't get in the car. I guess I'll have to wait for your car to leave with me. If you're absent from work, you'll be absent from work. There's nothing you can do about it."

Wang Li called Liu Chang to prepare himself a way out. He was really worried that he would not be able to get on the train until tomorrow.

"Wang Li going up today?"

Zhang Xue on the side heard Liu Chang's call and asked curiously.

"Well, he's at the train station now. The ticket is in the afternoon, but he can't get on the train. He's still waiting in line at the train station square."

This kind of phenomenon can often be encountered during the Spring Festival travel season at this time. I bought a train ticket but couldn't get on the train.

It's not that they won't get on, but that the train is already full and there's no way to get on.

Once this situation becomes more frequent, the train station in their city will be full of people, and then those soldiers will have to dispatch again. Without them to maintain order, accidents will easily happen at the train station.

When this happens, the train station will apply for a temporary extra train. It is no problem for all ticket-buying people to go south, but it is only sooner or later.

Liu Chang had encountered this situation several times in his previous life, so he was very familiar with it.

In addition to the normal pit stop and waiting to get on the bus, there are actually other ways to go.

For example, find the owners of shops near the train station, give them money, and bring people directly to the station.

Whether you can get on the bus or not, the shop owners can't guarantee it, they are only responsible for bringing it into the station.

Generally speaking, after entering the station, there are many more opportunities than waiting outside the station.

Because as long as there is a passing car, any car going to Yangcheng can get on.

You can climb through the window without opening the door. Anyway, after you get on the train and get there, as long as you have a ticket, the station will not check it.

Tickets will be checked on the bus. This depends on the level of alertness of the individual. A smart person can easily avoid the ticket check on the bus.

However, it is not a big problem if it is found. Generally speaking, even if it is found during the Spring Festival travel season, the ticket will not be refunded. As long as there is a ticket, there is no problem.

Not to mention that there are many loopholes at this time, even the high-speed rail of later generations also has many loopholes.

"It's okay, let's go to the train station to find their siblings when we go back, and then I will take them into the station and get on the train directly!"

Zhang Xue still had a good impression of Wang Li, and when he heard that the guy couldn't get in the car, he immediately agreed.

She has acquaintances at the train station, who can bring them into the station and charter them in the car, which is much better than those shop owners.

When she went to the south last year, she bought the ticket temporarily.

Although there was no seat, the acquaintance arranged for her to go to the dining car when she got on the bus, but she ran into Liu Chang later.

At any time, having relationships and contacts means capital.

Many successful bigwigs always talk about their ordinary family background and how hard they work when they become famous, but they never talk about how many connections they have around them, because they can't see them.

And it is precisely these personal connections that are the greatest capital for their success.

So those who learn about success, chicken soup for the soul, etc., just look at it, don't take it seriously.

Otherwise, so many books are printed, and everyone can be successful after taking a look. Are there still people in this world who are not successful?

How many people in the railway station square were in a hurry to get on the train, and when they arrived at Zhang Xue's place, it was just a matter of one sentence, and this was just the simplest use of personal connections.

"Well, let's go directly to the train station in the city and see if we can find Wang Li and the others."

Zhang Xue had something to do with it, so Liu Chang didn't say anything.Otherwise, he was going to ask Wang Li and the others to spend some money and find the owner of the commissary at the train station.

It doesn't matter if you don't use it, that's a fool.

In fact, even if Wang Li and the others can't get on the train, it won't take much time to go there in their own car.

"Have you been to the city yet? I don't want to take a car tonight. I haven't moved at the same place. There is still a long queue ahead."

Before Liu Chang and Zhang Xue arrived in the city, Wang Li called again.

They hadn't moved much in the same place. Seeing the dense crowd in front of them, Wang Li had no confidence to wait any longer.

As for the long waiting queue in the square, it's their turn and they don't know when to go.

And another point is that there are very few trains at night, and there are so many people in the square, it's great to be able to get on half of them.
