The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse

The trains of the 1980s were basically green leather cars. Before the train entered the station, you could hear the roaring sound and the thick smoke coming from afar.

As soon as the car sounded, the surrounding passengers started to stir up, either looking at the watch or the clock at the train station to see if they were waiting for their own train.

Although it was already two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Jianjun was still energetic, waking up the two children half an hour before the train arrived at the station and waiting in the waiting area beside.

Jiang Shengnan went out for the first time, and had long been curious about the train described in the textbook.

Unlike the rivers that have seen the world for a long time, the old-fashioned green leather car at this time is a behemoth in Jiang Shengnan's eyes. The peeling paint on the outer shell let her see an indescribable beauty.

Their station was one of the stops where the train stopped. After the train stopped, a group of passengers who were ready to get off rushed down, and those who were ready to get on the train feared that they could not get on and rushed forward by pushing.

"Follow Dad."

Jiang Jianjun took his luggage and could not pull his two children out of his hand, so before boarding the train, he specifically tied the rope to the child. The other end of the rope was tied to his belt to prevent the child from losing.

But despite this guarantee, Jiang Jianjun still worriedly ordered a few times.

This train has been running for several years. Even if someone cleans it every day, it will be overhauled at intervals. The decoration on the inside and outside is still unavoidable. Jiang Shengnan stepped on the ground of the train compartment and could hear the creaking sound, Looking around, the holsters on the seats on both sides have basically cracked, there are some old stained cars, and the windows are not so bright.

It is winter now, except for the time when passengers arrive and disembark at the station, the doors and windows will not open. This terminal station is thousands of miles away. Many passengers have come and gone.

The smell of the feet, the strange smell mixed with various foods, and the smell of poultry shit and pee in some cages, in a small space that has not been ventilated for a long time, brewed into a special chemical attack gas, Jiang Shengnan has not yet Too happy to get on the train, he was forced to hold his nose and breathe with his mouth when he couldn't hold back.

Jiang Jianjun loved his son and usually bought tickets for going out on a weekday, but with the two children on this trip, he naturally chose a more expensive bed ticket or a more comfortable soft sleeper in the bed ticket.

The soft sleeper is different from the ordinary hard sleeper. It is made of an independent small box. There are six beds in a room with a door. Except for the passengers in the soft sleeper, others generally cannot enter.

This year, the family who is willing to spend money to buy soft sleeper tickets is generally not bad, so the soft sleeper environment is also very good, the security and privacy are stronger, and there is almost no need to worry about the risk of being stolen.

As expected, when Jiang Shengnan walked to their cubicle, the strange smell reduced a lot.

Jiang Liu and Jiang Shengnan are 10 years old and 11 years old. They are not tall enough for children to buy a full ticket, so Jiang Jianjun can only buy two soft sleepers. Most of the night, he is afraid to wake up the other people in the car. The girl walked to the upper bunk, and then fell asleep with her son to the lower bunk.

In addition to having a separate space, the soft sleeper is also good for this. It does not need to be divided into three beds, which are upper, middle and lower.

At this time, Jiang Shengnan was already very sleepy. Although he was still very excited and amazed, he quickly fell asleep with the noise of the train.

Early the next morning, she was awakened by the train staff shouting to sell food. It turned out that she slept directly to noon.

"Comrade, drink water?"

A middle-aged woman dressed as a trainer pushed open the door and came in, carrying a hot water bottle in her hand with the railway bureau logo printed on it.

Jiang Shengnan watched her dad pull out two enamel drinking cups from the trunk like magic, and let the trainer pour two glasses of water. Others in the same room also took out the drinking cups, as if they were used to this behavior.

After pouring the water, the train crew closed the door and left. Jiang Jianjun handed the glass to his daughter and son.

"The water on the train is burned with boilers. The location of each boiler is in the connection of some cars. There are too many people on the train. The water is poured into the queue. The water supply of the train is also limited. Not every time you go Drinking hot water."

Jiang Jianjun explained the water to the two children who had never been far away: "There are train crews carrying water in the car from time to time. If you don’t want to go to the boiler to pick up water, every time the train crew pours water, Have a drink."

This is also Jiang Jianjun’s experience after going out many times. In the winter, the cabin is cold like an ice cellar, so hot water becomes an urgent need. Every time you go to receive water, it is the same as fighting. Jiang Jianjun was embarrassed to let him Comrade comrades poured water on themselves, and it felt like capitalism, but they tried the trouble of pouring water several times, and were accustomed to grasping every opportunity for the trainmen to carry a hot water bottle.

"Don't finish drinking, leave a little bit, and then mix it with cold water, brush your teeth, and have lunch."

The bathroom on the train should be out of hot water at this time. Brushing your teeth with cold water in the winter, you must brush off your teeth. Jiang Jianjun looked at his son's mouth of millet grains, and did not know when his son could replace his teeth. , After the teeth are replaced, it can be regarded as a little adult.

How time flies!In a few years, the son should have a grandson.

Jiang Jianjun looked lovingly at his son's small teeth, and then touched his round head.

*****

When Jiang Liu and his sister Jiang Shengnan returned to the carriage, Jiang Jianjun had already bought a box lunch. He bought a mapo tofu, a braised pork chops, a sauerkraut pork stew and three bowls of rice.

This year's train box lunch is different from the future generations. The ingredients are large, the oil is very generous, the braised pork chops are thick and large, and the lunch box is full of soup, which is best for bibimbap. .

Mapo tofu tastes very good, too, and it's spicy, spicy, hot, and salty. The tempeh is very fragrant. The soft tofu and yellow beef chopped into minced pieces complement each other.

Jiang Shengnan was eating Mapo tofu for the first time, because the family would not make this dish, and this year did not have the habit of going to the restaurant. This Mapo tofu opened the door of Sichuan cuisine in Jiang Shengnan’s heart. The first time she knew, it turned out The spicy and spicy tofu can be so delicious. Before that, the tofu in her heart was only for cold salad or soup.

It takes two days and two nights to reach Zhushi from their hometown, that is to say, Jiang Jianjun and his three people have to eat several meals on the train.

The lunch on the first day did not disappoint Jiang Liu and Jiang Shengnan, as did the following meals.

The white noodle buns at breakfast are said to be milk buns mixed with milk, with a milky aroma, the noodles are well kneaded, soft and fluffy without lack of tenacity, the more chewy the sweeter, and the fried foursome, the train cooks make mustard , Even the critical tongue that has been raised in several worlds can't pick out the fault.

As for the dinner, in addition to the Ma Po tofu that Jiang Shengnan must order, they have successively tried the hot and sour and delicious chopped pepper chicken claws, the sour and appetizing cold three silk, and Dongpo meat and Shanghai name Braised bamboo shoots and fried smoked fish with vegetable oil.

Except that the Dongpo meat may be a bit cold and the oil solidification affects the taste, every other dish did not disappoint them.

Comparing the home-cooked dishes that my grandmother and mother repeatedly tossed and cooked, suddenly I had a different kind of delicious Jiang Shengnan and I was so happy that I didn't want to get off the train.

"I will drive the train in the future."

Jiang Shengnan felt that this job was excellent, and he could have such a delicious working meal every day.

Jiang Liu listened a little and wanted to laugh. It was estimated that by the time she reached her working age, the working meal on the train would no longer be the same.

I heard that before the meals on the train were contracted to individuals or units, the chefs working on the train were the masters of the big restaurants and restaurants. The craftsmanship was naturally nothing to say, and now the profits and losses of the meals on the train are public. Chefs also use generous materials. After private contractors have contracted train meals, in order to reduce costs and increase profits, they will not be as heavy and seasoned as they are now.

The envy in the little girl's eyes flashed blind, and Jiang Jianjun smiled after eliminating the children's unfinished meals.

"Do you think your dad eats so well when he goes out?"

Jiang Jianjun piled up the lunch boxes in a pile, ready to take them to the trash can at the junction of the cars later.

"It was with this trip that I was willing to sleep in a sleeping berth. My dad could not bear to eat so well. I had to save money for your sister and a few students to study. I had to save money to buy a house for your brother and marry a wife. Make a dowry for your sisters. If you eat spicy and spicy every time you go out, will the money wait for the northwest wind to blow?"

Jiang Jianjun took the opportunity to educate the two children, but he is also telling the truth. He is not a person who pays attention to food and clothing. He often buys tickets for back and forth back and forth. It is too tired to buy a hard sleeper ticket.

As for the three meals, steamed buns are the most cost-effective, and the noodles are also good. You can eat a topping to eat very well. The experience of ordering three or four dishes for meals like these days has never happened to Jiang Jianjun because he The volatility of the business he is doing, coupled with the risk of speculation, makes him afraid to spend money at will.I was afraid that one day someone would be caught in, but did not save the money, a few children and their wives had a hard time.

So every time he comes out, he will reduce his expenses to a minimum, and then take home part of the earned money to his wife and partly to honor his wife.

He is a standard masculinity. It doesn't matter if he suffers hard. His wife and wife must enjoy the blessing. He wants to be the kind of excellent man who can support the whole family.

"When I drive the train in the future, grandma, mom and dad, and elder sister, second sister and younger brother can all eat delicious train meals."

After listening to Jiang Jianjun's words, Jiang Shengnan was a little ashamed. She forgot the hard work of her father making money outside, and always played with him when his father came back because of his partial brother.

The most expensive soft sleeper on the train is still hand in hand, and his back pain is sore, let alone the ticket and hard sleep. Jiang Shengnan imagined the scene of sitting on the train for two or three days in a row.

"Good girl, ambitious."

Jiang Jianjun laughed, and waited for his daughter to get married, and it was his husband and children who should take care of him. How dare he as a dad to eat a girl, he is still waiting for his son to provide for him.

However, he did not attack the filial piety of his girlfriend, and he cheerfully gave new suggestions, "It’s better to drive a plane than a train, the air ticket is too expensive, the food on the plane must be better, my dad hasn’t been there yet. As for the plane, if you can fly the plane in the future, Dad will borrow your light and take a plane."

The attending Jiang Liu was embarrassed to say that later-generation airplane meals were even more unpalatable.

"aircraft!"

Jiang Shengnan had a new ideal because of his father Jiang Jianjun's remarks. The food on the plane really wanted to be tasted.

"This big brother, this is your child, but he is really filial and filial."

Passengers in the same room listened to the conversation between Jiang's father and daughter and couldn't help but join in.

"Your children are really sensible, like my family, they caused me trouble in the net. Just as you said, we are all parents for the sake of the children, what is it for them to suffer a little bit."

"Hahaha, it's really sensible. These two children have taken a double percentage at the end of the year to meet their little wishes and take them to Zhushi for a lap."

Jiang Jianjun stood up, and what happened to Laozi being illiterate, his children's results were excellent.

"Wow, this is amazing."

Everyone satisfied Jiang Jianjun's wish to show off his children, and began to praise.

"Where and where, I used to be naughty, but when I grow up, I am sensible, so don't worry, your children will understand the hard work of adults."

Jiang Jianjun exaggerated a few words with satisfaction.

The chat box was opened, except for Jiangliu and Jiang Shengnan, who were all married and child-raising adults in this compartment, talking about the topic of children, and the atmosphere became lively at once.

*****

They were on the train in the middle of the night, and it was already ten o'clock when they arrived in Zhushi. Fortunately, the current Zhushi is very prosperous. Every time there are foreigners from different places who want to come to the Zhushi Nuggets, so Even at night, the weather is cold, and there are still many tricycles waiting outside the train station to pick up these guests from far away to different guest houses or private hotels.

The temperature in Zhushi is warmer than the hometown of Jiang Shengnan and others, but in the middle of the night, the three still wear their thickest clothes.

Because of the large amount of luggage and the two children, Jiang Jianjun called a taxi.

Jiang Shengnan looked at the colorful neon lights through the glass windows and the tall buildings lined up one after another.

This is Zhuzhu!

Looking at this big city, which is very different from the small village, as Jiang Liu thought, Jiang Shengnan's heart breeds a wish called ambition.
