Chapter 842 The Disappearing Classmate
The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month is the Spring Festival travel period.
People were coming and going in the square in front of the train station, and loudspeakers in the distance were repeatedly calling out for breakfast such as dumplings and ramen, trying to attract passengers to stop here.
As a "city brought by trains", Yuzhou City has a well-developed transportation hub. Although Jiang Ning's hometown is in Guyang County, which is just a small county town, this small county town has a railway station. Guyang Railway Station was built in 1912 and has a history of more than years.
Jiang Ning asked Shao Shuangshuang to buy a ticket in advance, preparing to take the train back to the county town, and then transfer to another train from the county town back to his hometown.
"Tongtong, Chuchu, I'm leaving." Jiang Ning carried a backpack on one shoulder and held a train ticket in his hand.
Well, you still need paper tickets to take the train now.
Xue Chuchu looked at Jiang Ning and smiled slightly: "Well, be careful."
As for the short Tongtong standing aside, she lowered her little head and stared at the small white shoes on her feet. These were the shoes Jiang Ning gave her.
She said nothing, as if in silent protest.
Jiang Ning reached out and touched her little head. Her hair was soft and felt quite good. "Okay, see you in two days."
After saying this, Jiang Ning no longer lingered, he turned and walked towards the crowded entrance.
Soon, the distance between them gradually increased, and other passengers passed by, obstructing their view.
Tongtong raised her little face, aggrieved, with slightly red eyes, and complained: "You won't take me home!"
The tone of this sentence obviously lost its usual crispness, and instead had a bit of hoarseness. Xue Chuchu couldn't help but stare at him when she heard it.
Tongtong lowered her little head again and looked at her little white shoes.
Xue Chuchu, who was originally emotionally affected by the separation, suddenly wanted to laugh, but she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Tongtong takes Jiang Ning too seriously...he is too important.
"What's wrong, Tongtong?" Xue Chuchu asked.
Tongtong didn't want her good friend to find out about her embarrassment, so she made an excuse: "There were too many people just now, and my new white shoes were stepped on."
Xue Chuchu looked at her little white shoes, which were spotless.
However, as Tongtong's military advisor, she still gave advice: "Who stepped on it? Later you catch up and step on it secretly."
"You're so mean. I just didn't do it by accident~" Lord Tongtong is very magnanimous.
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips, and her face instantly became sweet. She showed the car keys in her hand. These were the keys to Jiang Ning's baby electric car, and it was the first time Chuchu had bought one.
"Come on, I'll take you for a ride." Xue Chuchu was like a caring older sister.
……
Jiang Ning passed through the security gate and arrived at the waiting hall on the second floor. The spacious hall was already full, and many passengers used their suitcases as stools and sat on them while waiting.
Jiang Ning looked at the ticket checking information displayed on the big screen. The train to Guyang County had started checking tickets, and the heavy team was surging forward.
Jiang Ning hasn't been home for a long time. As a left-behind child, the concept of home for him is not deep but rather vague.
As time goes by, what remains in my mind is only the poverty and loneliness of my youth, which has evolved into pity.
However, everything about the hometown is ultimately engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.
"It's time to go home." Jiang Ning fixed his eyes, then raised his feet and followed the crowd through the ticket gate.
The conductor stood in front of the door and cut a notch on the paper ticket with pliers. Jiang Ning stepped into the crowded and stuffy carriage, where all kinds of smells mixed together.
He found his seat along the way. The journey was 40 minutes, and he bought a hard seat ticket, which was located by the window in a two-person train.
Yes, Shuangshuang was among the choices and bought him the best ticket.
Jiang Ning walked closer and found that his seat was occupied. After showing his ticket, the person quickly moved out of the way.
Jiang Ning put his backpack on the luggage rack. During this time, a girl sitting opposite the small table had a hint of surprise and joy in her eyes.
Jiang Ning's appearance and temperament are now completely different from before, and she can now enjoy the benefits of her good looks.
There is no doubt that an outstanding appearance brings a completely different life experience in the social sphere.
After he put away his luggage, he also looked at the girl. Looking at this familiar stranger, Jiang Ning thought:
"Haha, Shuangshuang is really capable. She even found an acquaintance for me."
Many people who take a train often hope to have a young person of the opposite sex by their side so that they can have a wonderful journey. However, the probability of this happening is small after all. Even on a hard seat train, there is a possibility that they will be sandwiched between two fat uncles and aunts, feeling weak and pitiful.
The girl sitting opposite the small table at this moment was Gao Yinghui, an elementary school classmate whom Jiang Ning had almost forgotten.
She was wearing a cool white lambskin dress and had neat shoulder-length hair that was layered, which made her nose look high. Her facial features were more capable and intellectual than those of ordinary girls, which was very strange because she was still a girl.
"Very good." Jiang Ning smiled. He was in a good mood.
Being arranged occasionally is also a good life.
He did not recognize Gao Yinghui, but sat down quietly, turned his head and looked out the window, seeing train tracks and hurried pedestrians.
Time passes minute by minute.
At one point, someone asked for help: "Hello, can you help me put my luggage?"
Jiang Ning turned his head and saw a young woman. He was just about to stand up when the enthusiastic male college student passenger next to him took the suitcase and put it on the luggage rack.
"Thank you, thank you!" the young woman hurriedly thanked.
The male college student waved his hand: "It's okay."
After saying that, the young woman sat next to Jiang Ning, holding a backpack in her arms.
It was the Spring Festival travel season, and many people brought luggage, resulting in insufficient space on the luggage rack. One bald man simply placed his trolley case vertically on the luggage rack, with a large portion of it sticking out.
The male college student warned: "You can't do this, there is a risk of falling!"
The bald uncle said with full energy: "It's not like no one else does this, why can't I do it?"
"Your suitcase is different, it's too long!" the male college student said righteously.
"Why don't you try to make one fall off?" the bald uncle said in a very firm tone.
Jiang Ning scanned with his spiritual sense and saw that the box was already shaky. He waved his finger lightly, and the big box fell down and hit the bald uncle.
Fortunately, he was looking at the box and tried his best to block it, otherwise his nose would have been bleeding.
There was a burst of laughter all around. The bald uncle cursed inwardly and obediently carried the box away. The environment gradually became quiet.
Then, Jiang Ning glanced at the young woman next to him. She looked average, looked a little nervous, and was always paying attention to the surrounding scene.
Jiang Ning discovered that she looked at the bag in her arms from time to time, as if there was something important hidden inside.
Jiang Ning scanned the area with his spiritual sense and thought, "He's quite courageous."
The train started to move gradually, and the scene outside the window passed by quickly. The trees were bare, and the branches swayed in the cold wind. The fields in the distance were covered with a thin layer of snow, which was a beautiful sight.
Soon, all the beautiful scenery was left behind by the fast-moving train.
The conductor was holding several large bags of milk tablets and was loudly promoting them: "Our milk tablets are made with camel milk, they are the best, you all know that without me telling you."
"It's almost the New Year. We take such a long train ride just to have a chance to reunite with our families. Let's buy a few packets of milk tablets and bring them to our families. The children and the elderly will feel at ease after eating them. Don't you agree?"
An old man answered, "Well, who says it's not true?"
The conductor said, "Well, uncle, would you like a few packs? Now it's 50 yuan for three packs, and I'll give you two more!"
The old man said with a sour face: "I bought beef jerky for my grandson at the last stop, and he chewed it for half an hour and couldn't chew it thoroughly!"
The conductor was embarrassed for a moment and said, "It's okay, you can get off at Huaicheng. There are still two hours left, so chew slowly!"
Everyone is happy.
The conductor looked at the grandson and handed him two milk shells. "Little boy, do you want to smell them?"
"fragrant!"
"Not only does it smell good, it tastes even better. Can you let grandpa buy two bags?"
"Okay, Grandpa, I want to eat!"
The old man was so angry that his liver hurt. The conductor was so mean that he actually used milk clams to seduce his grandson. The old man had no choice but to grit his teeth and used the advanced group-buying method to buy several packs with other passengers.
After the brief episode, Gao Yinghui, who was sitting across the small table, glanced at Jiang Ning's appearance and liked her more and more.
Moreover, she felt more and more that there was something familiar between the man's eyebrows, like an old acquaintance, but she couldn't remember who it was in such a hurry.
"So handsome, but unfortunately I..." She felt inexplicably regretful.
Immediately, the impulse took over her emotions again. She took out a bag of Lychee Plums, opened it, and gave two to Jiang Ning and the young woman.
Jiang Ning smiled: "Thank you."
The young woman was surprised and followed suit to thank him.
While eating Liuliumei, Jiang Ning took out his mobile phone and took a photo outside the window, preparing to post it on WeChat Moments.
At this time, Gao Yinghui said, "Where are you getting off?"
Jiang Ning: "Guyang."
"What a coincidence, I'm from Guyang too." Gao Yinghui said, she tucked her hair in front of her forehead to make her face clearer.
She was quite pretty, and logically, such a look should have left some rumors among Jiang Ning's former classmates. However, they disappeared completely later.
Jiang Ning was in the sixth grade of elementary school and studied in the town middle school. He and Gao Yinghui were assigned to the same class. Gao Yinghui was the deskmate in front of him and was quite "powerful" in the school at that time. As the big sister, Gao Yinghui fell in love for the first time in elementary school...
Looking back now, Jiang Ning wondered: "At that age, did you really understand?"
At that time, Gao Yinghui had a very good relationship with many "big brothers" and was undoubtedly someone that Jiang Ning could not afford to offend.
But despite being a mediocre person, Gao Yinghui is a nice person, has good grades, and writes well on test papers, so Jiang Ning often copies from her.
So the relationship between the two is pretty good.
After graduating from elementary school, many of her classmates were admitted to the town middle school as planned, but Gao Yinghui transferred to the county's third middle school.
I thought there was no news about her, but during the winter vacation of the first grade of junior high school, Jiang Ning went to a classmate's house for a banquet and ran into Gao Yinghui again.
When I saw her again this time, she was much more mature than before. She no longer had that mixed feeling and had become a melancholy literary girl.
At that time, Jiang Ning, a male classmate, Gao Yinghui and another female classmate, the four of them sneaked into the school at night to play table tennis. I remember they played until very late. Finally, the four of them sat on the table tennis table, looked up at the night sky, and talked about the future and dreams.
Jiang Ning and Gao Yinghui were going home together late at night. They came to a separate crossroads. It was very cold at night, but the dim street lights were very bright, making Gao Yinghui's face look extremely bright.
This was a rare opportunity, so Jiang Ning asked her for her QQ number. Gao Yinghui hesitated to speak, with an extremely complicated expression, and finally rejected Jiang Ning.
That was the last time Jiang Ning saw her. Gao Yinghui disappeared from then on and there was no contact between them. Jiang Ning gradually forgot about her.
But I never expected that I would have the chance to meet you in this life.
"Why did she lose contact with everyone back then?" Jiang Ning was also puzzled. Did something happen, or was there a problem?
He thought to himself: "Spiritual consciousness, activate."
An invisible ripple instantly penetrated Gao Yinghui's body.
Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, and a word silently popped up in his mind: "Kidney failure, stage three to stage four."
"I see." He suddenly realized, "Stage 3 renal failure cannot be cured, and stage 5 will develop into uremia. You won't die, but your life will definitely not be good."
Maybe this is the reason for everything that happened later.
"Are you still a student?" Gao Yinghui always felt that he was very familiar.
Jiang Ning: “Second year of high school.”
"I'm also a sophomore in high school," said Gao Yinghui.
She couldn't help but ask, "Do we know each other? I always feel like you look familiar."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young woman with the bag in her arms laughed out loud. What era is this? Are you still using this way of picking up girls?
Realizing that it was not a good idea to laugh at this time, she quickly covered her mouth.
This made Gao Yinghui quite embarrassed.
Jiang Ning joked: "Maybe they knew each other in their previous life."
The young woman next to her covered her mouth, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Jiang Ning glanced at her and said, "You like to laugh, right? What's in your bag?"
The young woman's face suddenly changed.
Jiang Ning threatened in a low voice: "I suspect you have hidden contraband. If you don't tell me, I..."
The young woman grabbed Jiang Ning and gently unzipped her bag, revealing a cute ragdoll cat.
Gao Yinghui opened her mouth: "Cat?"
Pets are not allowed on trains and will be sanctioned by train attendants if discovered.
The young woman looked at Jiang Ning with a pleading look in her eyes: "Can you not tell me that I brought a cat?"
"Your cat? No, it's my cat now."
Jiang Ning reached into his bag and petted the cat with peace of mind.
Gao Yinghui picked up the conversation again: "Can I ask what your name is?
"Jiang Ning."
"Jiang Ning..." Gao Yinghui muttered to herself, and then her eyes slowly widened in disbelief.
"Wamiiao Town Primary School, Grade 3, Class ?"
Jiang Ning smiled: "Hey, Gao, do you still remember?"
Gao Yinghui saw his playful expression, which changed so brilliantly. She said angrily, "Jiang Ning, it turns out you recognized me a long time ago!"
She just felt extremely ashamed and angry, and wanted to punch Jiang Ning a few times!
Damn it, you clearly recognized me a long time ago, but you still pretended not to know me?
Then she thought that her little action of stealing a glance at Jiang Ning just now might have been seen by him, and Gao Yinghui wanted to jump out of the car!
The girl's shock, anger and shyness merged together at this moment, forming the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "I'm just teasing you."
Gao Yinghui's face was burning. She thought for a second and was surprised: "It's only been four years since we last met. You've changed so much? I almost didn't recognize you."
Jiang Ning regained his composure, and said in a deep tone, "Yes, the last time we met was four years ago."
