Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 49

Zhou Hui raised his head to see who the woman in front of him was, and frowned slightly. Just about to refuse, Lin Jinglan lightly shook the hand placed under the table.

Lin Jinglan noticed that when the woman in front of her spoke, although her eyes swept over both her and Zhou Hui's faces, they finally landed on her face, mainly speaking to her.

A seemingly inadvertent small movement was caught by Lin Jinglan in no time.Lin Jinglan was immediately curious about the woman in front of her.Because this action is really unusual, she and Zhou Hui knew they were mother and daughter at a glance, so when people talked to them, they would focus on Zhou Hui as the mother, such as the restaurant waiter just now.

When the woman in front of her asked if she could share the table, her eyes were focused on her, which meant that she had already seen that among Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui, Lin Jinglan was the one who really made up her mind.

Lin Jinglan couldn't help sighing in her heart, what a keen observation!
Lin Jinglan smiled and pulled away the chair next to her, "Sister, sit down. You can call me Xiao Lin, this is my mother, surnamed Zhou. What's your name?"

Zhou Hui looked around, frowned and thought, there were obviously empty tables everywhere, why did he have to sit at their table.

While talking, Lin Jinglan observed the woman in front of her. She had a dignified oval face and a pair of clear almond eyes. She didn't look like a bad person at all. However, due to the vigilance Lin Jinglan had cultivated after decades, she still only gave her surname and did not give her name. Her and Zhou Hui's full names.

The woman sat down on the chair that Lin Jinglan had pulled out, and greeted Zhou Hui and Lin Jinglan with a smile, "Sister Zhou, Xiao Lin, my name is Yang Gui. I do some small business, and I always run back and forth on the train. I saw you at a glance today." Two, I feel that there is really a destiny, and I can't help but come over to say hello, eldest sister and Xiao Lin, don't think I'm abrupt."

Yang Gui didn't seem to realize that Lin Jinglan only gave her surname, so she took the initiative to give her full name and explained why she came to share the table.

Lin Jinglan just laughed off Yang Gui's reason, it's just a matter of listening to it, it can't be taken seriously.

The dishes Yang Gui ordered are almost ready, a vegetarian dish, a soup, and a pie. Yang Gui said with a smile, "When I first started doing business, I always didn't pay attention to eating. I was hungry and full. I lost my appetite within a few months. Now I don’t dare anymore, no matter how busy the business is, I must eat on time.”

Yang Gui filled a small bowl of soup and drank it slowly. After finishing the small bowl of soup, he began to eat vegetables and pies. He also chewed slowly. Although his posture was not very elegant, it was quite comfortable to watch.

Lin Jinglan thought to herself, even decades later, when singles eat alone and watch movies alone, most of them go to fast food and Western food alone, and few people go to Chinese restaurants alone, order a dish and soup and eat slowly .

Yang Gui went to Wolong Restaurant to eat alone quite comfortably. Even Lin Jinglan, who is as tough as her heart, admired her a little bit.

Yang Gui didn't talk much when eating, but he didn't say a word. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said a few words, "Xiao Lin is still a middle school student? You mother and daughter are going out to play during the summer vacation." Son?"

Lin Jinglan replied with a smile, "Graduated from high school this year, just finished the college entrance examination, and the university is in Beijing. My mother and I went to Beijing to go shopping in advance."

Yang Gui exclaimed softly, "Ah, Xiao Lin turned out to be a college student! It's really not easy to be admitted to a university in Beijing!" Awe.

Yang Gui smiled at Zhou Hui again, "Sister Zhou is really lucky to have such a daughter."

Lin Jinglan smiled slightly, Yang Gui was really good at talking, and the words he said were both pleasant to listen to and not deliberate.

"I'm also going to Beijing this time. We should be in the same car, right? The 08:30 trip?" Yang Gui asked.

Lin Jinglan nodded.

At first, it was mainly Lin Jinglan who was chatting with Yang Gui, because Lin Jinglan was very curious about Yang Gui, and obviously Yang Gui was also very curious about Lin Jinglan's mother and daughter, and Zhou Hui gradually joined in.

I don't know if it's because Yang Gui doesn't have the habit of inquiring about other people's affairs, or because she is keenly aware that Lin Jinglan pays special attention to privacy. It's a happy conversation.

After the three of them finished eating, Lin Jinglan and Yang Gui settled their bills.At this time, Zhou Hui and Yang Gui had already had a lively chat.Lin Jinglan couldn't help but feel that Yang Gui is not an easy person. In just a short meal, Zhou Hui, who had a bad first impression of her, could get acquainted with her instead.

Lin Jinglan also found that chatting with Yang Gui was really comfortable and felt like a spring breeze.

With this ability, you don't have to worry about not being able to make friends, let alone doing bad business.

While waiting for the bus in the waiting room, the three of them kept chatting again.Zhou Hui asked Yang Gui, "If you are in the clothing business, you must know this. What kind of clothes do the children in the city like to wear now? When I arrive in Beijing, I will also buy her two clothes to avoid being laughed at by my classmates. .”

Yang Gui smiled and said, "Little girl Xiaolin's age is exactly the age of a flower. She looks good in whatever she wears. Xiaolin is still in school. In my opinion, it's better to dress simply and generously. In summer, she wears a white top. A shirt and a skirt underneath, both energetic and good-looking."

Zhou Hui nodded again and again, forgetting that she thought Yang Gui's dress was indecent an hour ago, and seriously asked Yang Gui how to dress.

Lin Jinglan laughed inwardly.

Check in and enter the station.The current train ticket is a hard card with words printed on it and many pinholes. The 80s train tickets all use this pinhole anti-counterfeiting method.

It wasn't until Lin Jinglan, Zhou Hui and Yang Gui boarded the same carriage that the three of them took out their tickets in amazement to check, only to find that their tickets were linked together in the same soft sleeper compartment.

Zhou Hui was amazed again and again, took Yang Gui's hand and said, "What a coincidence! It seems that we are really destined!"

Yang Gui was also very surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Hui's mother and daughter to buy a soft sleeper ticket. After all, the price of a soft sleeper ticket is almost twice that of a hard sleeper.Even among businessmen, it's rare for her to be willing to spend money on herself. Yang Gui felt that Zhou Hui's mother and daughter could not be seen through.

Another young man entered the box, he was on Yang Gui's upper bunk, and the soft sleeper box was already full.

Yang Gui couldn't help itching, so she couldn't help asking Zhou Hui, "Why are you two the only ones going out? Where's your husband? Is he too busy with work?"

Zhou Hui said without any concealment, "Don't mention him, I just didn't want to live with you with him anymore, so I came out with my daughter. That man has no skills, but he has a temper! If he doesn't agree with him, he will hit me, and I will also Think about it, my daughter has grown up, why let her have a good life by her side, and stay by his side and suffer."

Lin Jinglan felt relieved when she heard Zhou Hui say that, and hoped that Zhou Hui really understood.

Yang Gui was even more surprised when she heard this. She could see that Lin Jinglan spoke and acted properly. When the mother and daughter were together, it was the daughter who made the decisions. She thought that Zhou Hui's husband had the ability to educate the children well, but Zhou Hui was weak by nature. , it is the daughter who calls the shots everywhere.

Now it seems that this is not the case?

And if it was true what Zhou Hui said, her husband was incompetent, Zhou Hui saw that he had no job, and Lin Jinglan had just graduated from high school, where did they get so much money?
Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't marry a capable man, but it is a rare blessing to have a capable daughter." Zhou Hui smiled and put his arms around Lin Jinglan, "With such a daughter, what can you give me?" I don't want to change!"

Rao Yang Gui, who is always moody, couldn't control himself, his eyes were full of doubts and curiosity, and he asked, "Then when you mother and daughter come to Beijing, will the child's father give you money? "

Zhou Hui snorted, "He gave us back the money? He can't wait to take all our money by himself!"

Yang Gui looked around Zhou Hui and Lin Jinglan, neither of them seemed to be able to make money.

Lin Jinglan saw that Yang Gui's heart was itching, and said with a smile, "As long as you have real skills, money is just an accessory, and it will come by itself. Sister Yang Gui is a capable person at first glance, and she must understand this sentence best."

Yang Gui looked at Lin Jinglan's clear and clear eyes, and suddenly felt that all his thoughts had been seen through, and his face flushed. Although he was still very curious, he was embarrassed to continue asking.

But Yang Gui had a secret guess in her heart. Between Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui, the one who has the ability is Lin Jinglan, and the one who can make money is also Lin Jinglan. Although she can't figure it out, Lin Jinglan is a student who just graduated from high school and is going to college. , How can I earn so much money.

Lin Jinglan stopped talking, and only listened to Zhou Hui and Yang Gui's non-stop chatting, while Lin Jinglan was fascinated by the scenery outside the window, only paying attention to Zhou Hui's words, in case Zhou Hui would tell the truth about her family's situation Lose.

Lin Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, it would be nice to be in the same box with Yang Gui, but she would rather let Zhou Hui and Yang Gui talk a little more.Yang Gui was a woman who was in the clothing business in the 80s. Although Lin Jinglan didn't know Yang Gui's personality or how the business was doing, at least Yang Gui could show Zhou Hui a different way of life.

It was night, and when I looked out the window, I could only see groups of dark shadows passing by quickly, but Lin Jinglan felt more and more happy in her heart when she saw the pitch-black scenery.

She was admitted to Tsinghua University!She is going to Beijing!Zhou Hui also followed her on the train bound for Beijing!
Lin Jinglan's reflex arc seemed to be extraordinarily long. She hadn't felt anything since she learned that she had won the provincial champion exam. Until this moment, Lin Jinglan felt joy sweeping her whole body, almost every pore in her body was indescribably comfortable.

The door of the compartment was pulled open suddenly, and the conductor stood at the door, "Check the ticket!"

After Lin Jinglan, Zhou Hui, Yang Gui, and the young man on the upper bunk of Yang Gui handed the tickets to the conductor, the conductor said again, "Prove it!"

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, "What proof?"

The conductor said, "A certificate at the county and regiment level!"
