Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 9 Sister and Brother Reunion

At night, the sun went down, and the sky gradually darkened. Zhang Yuan took his big bags and small bags to the train station square. After all, it was open and cooler outside.For dinner, there are still four steamed buns and mineral water. After eating and drinking, there is nothing to do but sleep. It may be because the train station is noisy with people coming and going, and Zhang Yuan himself is a little excited. What he tosses and turns is I can’t sleep, I’m always thinking about things in my head. For a while, I think about what my sister has become. I seem to be a little fuzzy. For a while, I think about playing football on a certain day. , He should have just shot the goal. For a while, he thought about what school and major he should take the college entrance examination for. In the end, he fell asleep in a daze.

Before dawn the next day, the sprinklers on the streets near the train station square began to play music and sprinkle water. Zhang Yuan was also woken up. When he touched it, the big bags and small bags were still under his body, and the money and mobile phone were still in his trouser pockets. , relieved, unable to sleep, Zhang Yuan simply sat up and watched the pedestrians coming and going in a daze.I don’t know when he woke up and saw that it was already dawn. Zhang Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was already past eight o’clock. He felt that he hadn’t been in a daze for a long time. Let’s buy something to eat. Today is destined to be more Bored till night.

"Buy newspapers, buy magazines, legal daily, reference news, story clubs, friends!" The middle-aged uncle who sells newspapers has a canvas bag on his chest, and newspapers and some magazines are neatly stacked inside. Said: "Little brother, buy a newspaper and magazine to read, it's not easy to play on the train, read newspapers and magazines to pass the time!"

Zhang Yuan thought what he said made sense. For example, yesterday afternoon and evening he was very bored, and he didn't want to read the study materials he brought. He didn't know the specific reason, but he just didn't want to read the textbook notes.Hearing what the newspaper seller said, he stopped buying breakfast, put the big and small bags by his feet and asked, "What do you have here?"

"It has everything, it depends on which aspect you like!"

"What about football?"

"Yes, sports newspaper and football! They are all newspapers, no magazines!" The uncle selling newspapers took out two newspapers with a clatter.

"A lot of money?"

"Four dollars in total!"

"Ten yuan, it's so expensive to steal money?" Zhang Yuan didn't expect that two newspapers cost ten yuan, how could it be so expensive!
"You heard it wrong, it's four dollars!"

"Oh, four yuan, please explain clearly, what is it, four yuan, four yuan is also expensive, the People's Daily and Sichuan Daily are not so expensive!"

"You child is obsessed with refinement. The more professional the more expensive, those popular newspapers are not so expensive. Do you want it or not?"

"Buy it, it's the same one!" Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and decided to buy one to save another boring day today. It's also good to watch football news!Alas, buying a newspaper is so expensive, why don’t you go to an Internet cafe? There is everything on the Internet, and the newspapers say the same thing, but the Internet is not cheap. For example, in Taixing Town, it costs two yuan an hour. In the past, you lost two yuan without doing anything, and you can’t finish reading the newspaper in an hour!

Zhang Yuan didn’t go to buy breakfast any more. It’s no big deal to be hungry. He took the big bags to the ticket office and started to read the newspapers. In fact, the World Cup has passed, and several major leagues are in the rest period, which can be reported. Not many, the Chinese league is going to die, Zhang Yuan is not interested, he is the first to read foreign news, such as the latest developments of Telephone Gate, transfers, coaching changes, training camps, etc. There are some analytical articles, which Zhang Yuan read with great interest. Sometimes he can’t help but think of the Taixing High School team. The Argentine team, with so many stars, failed to succeed in the end, and there were not many Italian stars, and there was a phone call incident before the game. In the end, they relied on the team to win the Hercules Cup at the end, awe-inspiring!

With newspapers, life is not so hard. Zhang Yuan spent the whole morning reading newspapers. After he finished football, he watched basketball and other things. Although he was not interested, it was a way to kill time. In the afternoon, he carried his bag and went to The supermarket near the train station bought a few boxes of instant noodles and mineral water. This is what my sister told him. The food on the train is extremely expensive. Who knows what the price bureau thinks? Everything on the train has become more expensive. It doesn’t matter. As far as the matter is concerned, he made up his mind to strictly abide by the discipline and not take a needle or a thread on the train, nor eat a bite of food on the train.

Just like that, the afternoon passed. With the ticket, he entered the waiting room. After waiting for a long time, he finally got on the bus. The luggage on the bus was placed on the luggage rack. He had a standing ticket and had no seat. He was able to stay in the middle of the sidewalk where the bags were placed. Fortunately, the train didn’t seem so crowded, and there were not many people standing at the station. In the past two days at the train station, he could always see some passengers with folding benches. Now he finally understood why. This kind of situation is where the folding bench comes in handy, but it's a pity that he knew it too late, and he would have to peel off his skin if he stood stupidly like this in Shanghai without dying!Fortunately, the people on the train are still friendly to each other. A middle-aged man who relied on him warmly invited him to sit with him. Zhang Yuan was not polite either. He said thank you and put half of his butt on the seat. It’s better than standing still. Zhang Yuan is not talkative but he’s not a very shy person either. He quickly chatted and joked with the passengers around him. Don’t you talk for dozens of hours on the train? Can pass the time.

In this way, tens of hours passed bit by bit. The train passed Xi'an, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Zhengzhou. Know.

After dozens of hours of journey, on the third morning, Zhang Yuan got out of the car with big bags and small bags. Of course, he didn’t forget to thank the middle-aged uncle who gave him half of his buttocks, otherwise he really didn’t know What is the state of standing by myself for dozens of hours now.Following the turbulent flow of people, Zhang Yuan exited the station and looked as far as the eye could see. Where could he see his sister in the sea of ​​people, he could only take out his mobile phone at the exit to make a call. Not knowing what to say, he said loudly that he was at the exit, and suddenly a white hand grabbed his arm, "Yuan baby, I'm my sister!"

Zhang Yuan took a look and it turned out to be his elder sister. People say that women’s colleges have changed in the eighteenth year. Was that Zhang Yuan’s elder sister before and after four years? Four years ago and four years later, she will be 22 years old. The change is not big, but the clothes are not like those in the countryside. It's just so old-fashioned, so Zhang Yuan recognized his sister at a glance, and he smiled happily.

The elder sister looked very excited, and took his arm: "Let's go, let's get out of here first, there are too many people at the exit! I can't hear clearly!"

"Don't be too busy, there are still things, the food your parents brought you!" Zhang Yuan picked up the big and small bags and laughed.

"Oh, there are so many people in the car, what should I bring with me, tell them not to bring them, or fiddle with it!" My sister complained a little, the big bag is a bit heavy, it is not a small burden for Zhang Yuan who is just going out, and it is inconvenient.But since they have all been brought to their destination, they will definitely not throw them away. Zhang Caiying carried a small bag, and Zhang Yuan carried a large bag. They left the train station one after the other. There was a man at the entrance of the street near the train station. Waiting for the two of them, the male Zhang Yuan also knows him, he is his quasi-brother-in-law, his name is Li Jun, the boyfriend that my sister talked about in technical secondary school, from a school, they have planned to get married a long time ago, if it wasn't because of Zhang Yuan's studies Maybe they got married last year. When Li Jun saw the siblings coming over, he threw away the cigarettes in his hands and hurried over to catch the big bag in Zhang Yuan's hand and Zhang Caiying's small bag, and put them on the van by the side of the road. Then he turned around and said with a smile: " Young man, you have grown up so much, do you still remember me?"

"Hello, Brother Li, remember, remember!" Li Jun followed Zhang Caiying to Zhang Yuan's house when he graduated from technical secondary school, and Zhang Yuan naturally remembered it.

"Let me take a closer look!" Zhang Caiying held Zhang Yuan's arms with a smile, and carefully looked at the changes in her younger brother. It has been four years, and Zhang Yuan's changes have naturally changed a lot compared to four years ago. Zhang Caiying needs to look up to him now that she is taller. Her skin is still a little darker than before, and her face has become thinner, but she can still see the shadow of the past. Her hair is cut into a crew cut, and she stands upright one by one.

Zhang Yuan is also looking at his older sister. She is a little over 1.6 meters tall, neither tall nor short. She has not changed from what she remembers, and her appearance has not changed much. Her skin is still as white as before, her face is melon-shaped but her chin is not. She is pointed, with a harmonious roundness. Her hair is tied up and dangling behind her head. She is wearing a white T-shirt, denim trousers, and a pair of black high-heeled sandals. Famous beauties.

As the two siblings watched, Zhang Caiying burst into tears. She hadn’t seen her younger brother for four years. When she was a child, the adults in the family were busy with farm work. I always pick up my younger brother to school. Sometimes when my younger brother gets tired from walking, it’s my sister’s fault, not to mention washing clothes and cooking for him. Now I see that my younger brother has grown taller and has good academic performance. After entering the university, she will be successful, and she shed tears of joy.Zhang Yuan naturally understood what his sister was thinking, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He really didn't know how to say it. He just patted his sister on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry, don't cry!"

"You said what are you doing? It's so hard to meet, don't make it so sad, okay? There are people around, it's not good to see!" Li Jun also persuaded.

Zhang Caiying slowly held back her tears, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and said with a smile to Li Jun: "I'm so happy, I haven't seen you for so many years, I'm a little excited. I still remember when I was young, Yuan Wa'er was short and tall Ugly, the big parents in the production team call him shorty Zhang. He didn't grow taller in junior high school. He sat in the first row in every grade. I didn't expect to be so tall after two years of high school. You, have you got 1.8 meters?"

Li Jun looked at him and found that he was 1.7 meters nine. Objectively speaking, Zhang Yuan was not as tall as him. According to his visual estimation, Zhang Yuan was only 1.7 meters six to seven seven, but in order to please his girlfriend, he said with a smile: " Yes, it seems to be taller than me, 1.8 meters must be there!"

"Where is it, Brother Li, I am not as tall as you, I am only 1.7 meters seven!" Zhang Yuan responded truthfully.

"That's okay, I'm only 16 years old, and I can grow up to 1.8 meters in the future!" Li Jun said affirmatively, and then urged the siblings: "Hurry up, the traffic police will come later, and they will catch you!" You will be fined for parking indiscriminately!" Then Zhang Caiying took Zhang Yuan's hand and sat in the back row, while Li Jun drove ahead and went back to their rental house first.
