If Qian Guodong makes arrangements in advance, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

It's so hard to buy sleeper tickets these days. Letters of introduction from Sunshine Electrical Appliances Factory didn't work. It took a letter of introduction from the Sanshui Town Government to get three tickets.

A total of eight people went to Guangzhou and bought three hard sleepers and three hard seats. Qian Guodong and two employees from Sunshine Electrical Appliances Factory took the hard seats, and five children, Huang Han and Cheng Wenge, went to the sleeper car at the back.

If the train arrives on time, it will take about two days. The prices for upper, middle and lower sleeper tickets are different but not much different. The upper berth is cheaper at 60 yuan and a few cents.

The hard seat is about half the price of the hard sleeper. Cheng Wenge, Qian Aiguo, and Huang Xin got on the bus with the hard sleeper ticket.

These days we don’t even have ID cards, and train tickets are even less likely to be issued under real names. People who get on the train only need to show their tickets.

Huang Xin, Cheng Wenge, and Qian Aiguo got on the train with sleeper tickets respectively.

Huang Han followed him to the sleeper car. Although Huang Qi didn't have a seat, he still had to buy a ticket.

The two of them could buy a half-ticket, which cost fifteen yuan or a few cents each. The round-trip fare for Huang Han and the five of them should be about four hundred and fifty yuan.

It may not seem like much, but it is actually a lot of money. You must know that five hundred yuan can buy three rooms and a kitchen in Sanshui County.

Being able to buy a 14-inch black and white TV set made my neighbors envious.

The five children all carried identical denim "backpacks", and Huang Han and the other three also carried their own guitars.

In order to prevent thieves from using a razor blade to open the bag and steal it, Huang Han told Cheng Wenge and Huang Xin that they must carry their "backpack" in front of them when they are crowded in trains or buses.

In summer, you don’t need to bring anything as a gift. The “backpack” only contains two changes of clothes and toiletries.

The five of them knew at a glance that they were students. It was impossible for anyone to guess that Huang Han was actually a rich man.

The three sleeper tickets happened to be the upper, middle and lower berths in a row. Huang Han climbed to the top and used his backpack as a backrest.

Of course Huang Xin and Huang Qian used the lower berth, while Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo took turns using the middle berth. They had discussed it and took turns sleeping to guard against thieves.

Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo didn't know how many thousands of dollars Huang Han had in his bag, but they knew it was several thousand dollars because all the capital they brought was given to Huang Han for safekeeping.

It is necessary to focus on protecting Huang Han and be wary of thieves. Cheng Wenge, Huang Han, and Qian Aiguo take turns sleeping. Three bunks are just enough for five people.

Huang Han looked normal on the surface, but his heart was filled with ups and downs. He would squint one eye while sleeping to pay attention to the movements around him.

Just kidding, 50,000 yuan at this time can buy a unit building. Of course, this refers to the situation where it can be purchased.

If exposed, it might lead to death, so we can't take it lightly.

Green trains in the early 1980s were often packed like sardine cans, but compared to hard seats, sleeper cars were like paradise because passengers without seats could not get into sleeper cars.

The direct express train from Shanghai to Guangzhou is undoubtedly the busiest in China at the moment. Unfortunately, there are so many people going south to look for jobs that there is no possibility of it not being crowded.

Often, conductors will bring one or two passengers to sleeper cars to share seats because they have taken advantage of the passengers in a certain hard-seat car.

There are two single seats that can be put down in the aisle of the sleeper car, facing the six berths. Being able to get this seat is undoubtedly a paradise for passengers who may not be able to squeeze through even to use the toilet in the hard-seat car.

Huang Han still insisted on writing two or three hours a day, writing an average of two to three thousand words a day. However, in order to protect his eyes, he did not write on the train, and he refused to read Huang Xin or Huang Qi for a long time.

Except for Cheng Wenge, who had taken a train to the capital with his parents before, all the other five people took a train for the first time.

Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo were full of energy. They sat in the seats in the aisle and looked around. Qian Aiguo's eyes were always peeking at the older girl. Xiaoqiu, who was in an excited state, lay by the car window watching the scenery.

After a few hours, Huang Xingle, who had been worried about motion sickness and slept on the train, said, "Huang Han, I like riding the train. I don't feel any motion sickness at all."

Huang Han, squinting his eyes, said, "More than half of the people who get motion sickness don't get sick on trains, even on ships."

"Little girl, ours is a sleeper car. It's much cleaner and less crowded. If you had gone to the front hard-seat car, you wouldn't say you like taking the train."

As soon as Huang Han got on the train, he observed the entire carriage, focusing on the passengers in the fifteen berths next to him.

Opposite the bunks of Huang Han and others were a young woman and a middle-aged couple, neither of whom looked like a gangster.

The young woman looks like she is a college student. Judging from her dress and appearance, she seems to be from a good family. She may be a Cantonese who goes to school in Shanghai.

The middle-aged couple may be traveling to Guangzhou. The person who spoke was a stout woman in her forties with a Shanghainese accent.

Huang Xin is introverted and doesn't like chatting with strangers. She smiled politely and didn't answer.

Huang Han said, "Auntie is right. The hard-seat carriage is crowded with people and the smell of sweat is too unpleasant. It's better to be more comfortable here."

"Children, are you bringing a guitar?"

"Um!"

"Are you all studying music?"

"That's right!"

"Since there's nothing to do, why don't you play the guitar?"

"Yeah, why not? Chengwenge, come and play a song!"

Cheng Wenge is now very experienced and has no stage fright at all. He played "Sweet Honey" generously, which immediately attracted many young people in the same carriage.

The young woman in her twenties who had been reading on the upper bunk also put down her book and stuck her head out to watch Chengwenge play and sing.

Qian Aiguo had been paying attention to the young woman on the upper bunk, and now he was playing and singing with Cheng Wenge in a cool way.

At the end of the song, there was a wave of applause. The middle-aged woman asked Cheng Wenge and the two of them, "Children, are you students from the Conservatory of Music?"

Upon hearing this question, Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo, who were originally proud, suddenly became embarrassed.

Huang Han stuck his head out from the upper bunk and said, "They are still young, they are all high school students."

"Oh! They are all high school students! It's not easy. You will definitely be able to pass the Conservatory of Music."

At this time, the middle-aged woman saw the sixteenth-volume book held by the young woman on the upper bunk and asked, "Girl, are you reading "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times"?"

"Um!"

"Is it the latest issue?"

"Yes!"

"Is there any serialization of "The Rise of Great Powers in the Late Ming Dynasty" on it?"

"It's serialized, I'm reading it! But I can't find the previous issue, so I can't understand it."

"Oh! What a coincidence. I brought the last issue and didn't buy this one. Why don't we read it instead? I have the first volume of "The Rise of Great Powers in the Late Ming Dynasty"."

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman opened her travel bag and took out three books of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times", selected the one from the previous issue and handed it to the young woman.

Huang Han, Chengwen Pavilion and Huang Xin looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud.
