Chapter 233 Going Out

Han Li heard the familiar voice coming from far away, but he didn't expect it to be Yun Jingjing.

"Why are you out there on such a cold day? What will you do if you get frozen?"

"Aren't you going out with Village Chief Zhao tomorrow? It's not convenient for my little sister these days, and you don't know how many days to go so that you don't feel overwhelmed again, so..."

After spending three days in a row, Han Li would not be polite when Yun Jingjing came to his door. He hugged her and said dishonestly.

"Aren't you afraid that she will feel it at this time?"

"I tried it before when you were eating secretly. The feeling in our original house would be intermittent. If you go beyond that, you won't feel it at all. It's even better if this place is far away from the village."

Yun Jingjing had said this, and Han Li would certainly not be polite, but the weather outside was really too cold, and he would definitely get frozen if he didn't pay attention to his strategy.

Han Li asked Yun Jingjing to put on her coat backwards, with the opening facing backwards. The coats of the two of them formed a perfect circle to block the cold wind outside.

Simply having no wind was not enough, because the temperature outside was too low, and Han Li was reluctant to freeze Yun Jingjing.

So he chose the Heimlich maneuver, and used running around the camp and squeezing through rock gaps.

At this time, the howling cold wind was like a drunken man, lingering around them and unwilling to leave.

The whistling wind sometimes let go of the throat and roared furiously, and sometimes whispered in a low voice.

However, Han Li and the others were not moved by the roar of the wind at all. This situation was like an inspirational ancient poem.

"Stand firmly on the green mountains and never let go. The roots are still in the broken rocks. It has been strong despite being struck by the winds of east, west, north and south."

The dogs were running wildly in the fields nearby, and from time to time they would howl at the high starry sky.

Han Li supported Yun Jingjing, who had weak legs, and walked to the village together. When they arrived at the door of He Mi's house, she shook off Han Li's hand and said.

"You go back first. I have to go to Sister He's house to get something. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to my little sister when I get back."

"How about I wait for you here this late at night."

"No, it's not that far in total. You'd better go back first."

Han Li squeezed Yun Jingjing's hand and said, "Then come back as soon as you finish getting your things."

Yun Jingjing nodded and knocked on the street door of He Mi's house. Han Li watched from a dark shadow beside her as she was welcomed in by Qi Zhaodi before turning to go home.

Han Li returned home and settled the dogs. When he entered the house, he found Yun Yingying chopping meat.

"Baby, why do you think of doing this in the middle of the night?"

"Brother Li, what we pay attention to there is dumplings on the train and noodles on the train. I'm going to mix the dumpling fillings now and just make them directly tomorrow morning."

Han Li took the kitchen knife from Yun Yingying's hand and said while chopping.

"Village Chief Zhao said that the round trip shouldn't take more than seven days. Such a short distance is nothing at all."

"That's not possible. This kind of attention is still necessary. Not to mention that our family has meat, even if we don't have meat, it is still necessary to make vegetarian dumplings."

After Yun Yingying finished speaking, she approached Han Li mysteriously and said.

"Brother Li, you've been away for several days. How about I help you like that?"

Han Li, who had just eaten, righteously rejected Yun Yingying's proposal. The key was that Yun Jingjing would be back soon.

Han Li had just refused, and before Yun Yingying could speak, the sound of Yun Jingjing's footsteps could be heard in the yard.

Isn't this just right? Otherwise, what would it look like with half the pants off?

"Dumpling stuffing, my little sister has grown up so much, I didn't even think about it."

"That is."

Everyone started working together while joking, and the dumpling fillings were quickly prepared.

Since Han Li had to go out tomorrow morning, everyone stopped playing chess and chatting, washing their feet, getting on the kang, and turning off the lights.

Everyone quickly fell asleep, and when Han Li opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

He got up gently and practiced boxing. When he returned to the house after practicing, the two sisters had already made dumplings.

"Brother Li, you've finished your exercise. I'll cook dumplings for you right now. They'll be ready to eat after you wash up."

"When did you wake up?"

"We woke up when you got up. It will look better if we eat early."

Eating other people's food, looking at other people's faces, carrying other people's bowls, and being controlled by others are really not suitable for Village Chief Zhao to come to call him.

Han Li nodded and went to wash his face and brush his teeth. Yun Jingjing had already boiled the water while making dumplings, so he could just put the dumplings into the pot.

So after Han Li finished washing his face, the dumplings were almost ready, and he sat on the Kang table to eat.

Yun Yingying is helping him pack some necessary items to take with him, such as money, tickets, educated youth certificate, etc.

As for things like letters of introduction, Village Chief Zhao will prepare them, so Han Li and the others don't need to worry about them.

After Han Li finished eating, he dressed up and went out. The two sisters wanted to send Han Li to the car at first, but they were stopped by him when they reached the street door.

"Don't go to the village entrance in this cold weather. Besides, there will be nothing going on with me and Village Chief Zhao on the way. You two should go back quickly."

"Brother Li (Han Li), you have to be more careful when you are on the good road. Those pickpockets are very clever."

"Well, I'll pay attention. I'm leaving. You guys should go back quickly."

Han Li knew that they would not go back unless he left, so after saying this, he waved his hands and turned around to go to Village Chief Zhao's house.

It was a coincidence that when Han Li just walked to the door of Village Chief Zhao's house, the other party happened to open the street door with a bag on his back.

It was too cold in the morning, and the two of them simply said a few words and went to the barn.

When they arrived here, the driver had already harnessed the car. It seemed that Village Chief Zhao had talked to this old man yesterday.

Without any nonsense, the old man drove the car and got on the car and set off.

They arrived at the county town with a bumpy ride, just in time to catch the daily bus to the region.

The two of them quickly got on the car, and swayed all the way like a boat to the regional train station.

The car was not warm at all in this year. The two people got off the car with numb legs. After stretching their bodies, Village Chief Zhao said.

"I have a comrade-in-arms working here. You carry your bag and wait inside. I will go to him to buy two more comfortable tickets."

This was the second time Han Li took a train in this world. The last time was arranged by the Youth Office. He only needed to take his ID and letter to get on the train. He really didn't look closely at the train stations of this era.

At this time, Han Li took his bag and walked around inside. This time had missed the peak period for educated youth to go home, so there were not many people inside.

After a round, there was really nothing to see in other places, but the ticket window was quite interesting.

Because he found that one person had to buy several "tickets", and some people even bought four or five tickets, and these four or five tickets were only for him.

Han Li observed for a while, and someone next to him talked about it, so he understood.

Everyone must first buy a passenger ticket, and a number strip with the number of the carriage and the position marked. Most people basically have these two tickets.

But if you choose to speed up the train, you need to buy another speed-up ticket.

If you choose to take a sleeper, you need to buy an extra sleeper ticket and a bedding ticket.

The bedding ticket refers to the proof of use of the bedding and pillow in the sleeper. If you are in other provinces, you may not need to buy a bedding ticket, but in the three northeastern provinces, almost no one does not buy a bedding ticket in this month.

In addition, people who come to buy sleeper tickets are either brought by someone or the ticket seller receives a call in advance. Ordinary people who don’t have connections can’t buy them.

Han Li also found that the train ticket sellers during this period were not relaxed at all, but rather a very troublesome and tedious job.

First, she needs to check various certification letters. For ordinary trains, she only needs to look through the data sheet, but for some trains, she needs to call to confirm the seats. After confirming that everything is correct, she glues them together. It takes at least three to five minutes for each passenger to complete.

(The above tickets are collectively called "cardboard tickets". When air-conditioned trains are available, air-conditioned tickets will also be issued. If you buy all of them, one person needs to get six tickets. Such train tickets were used from the 1940s to the late 1990s before they were completely eliminated.

Warm Tips: If our big brother traveled back in time, before 1996, when train tickets had not been completely revamped, if you didn't have any acquaintances, it would be best to buy tickets when you were close to the train, because if you bought them too early, the data sheet above had not been issued yet, and the ticket seller could only sell you standing tickets.)

After seeing the cumbersomeness of train tickets in this era, Han Li was completely speechless. People nowadays would never imagine that a mobile phone would be able to travel the world in a few years.

Han Li felt a little bored after reading for a while. He found a corner with his bag, squatted down, took out the red book and began to read it, and read it out in a low voice.

When those who kept patrolling in the station saw this situation, they generally would not come forward to ask questions, which would invisibly reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Not long after Han Li squatted down, Village Chief Zhao and a man who looked younger than him came over. Village Chief Zhao smiled and introduced Han Li.

"Han Li, come here. I'll introduce you. This is my former comrade Gan Ziquan. He works in the office of the railway branch here. You can ask him to help buy tickets when you go home in the future."

The railway bureau is a very hardcore unit. Even in these years, no one dares to provoke it easily.

It's like a complete small society here. All units and facilities are available in each railway bureau.

Including public security, procuratorate, courts, hospitals, schools, shops, banks, etc.

This is a huge structural system. The key is that it is still implementing a semi-militarized management model.

Now it is not easy to enter this unit to work. There are strict restrictions on all aspects. If there is a little bit of inappropriateness, you can't get in.

After Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, Han Li took the lead in stepping forward and greeted him politely.

"Hello, Leader Gan."

"Hello, Comrade Han, I have the connection with Brother Zhao. If you have any problems, just come to me."
