Chapter 764 - 0764: Beating the Lovers 3_1
Feng Qingxue did some calculations, and it indeed seemed a bit tight.
We’re already in 1965 the Gregorian calendar, and it’s early December according to the lunar calendar. It’s not very realistic for Wang Fengqiao to get home in 20 days. No one can guarantee that the train won’t have hiccups along the way.
Just like Wang Fengqiao said, we have no idea how many times the train will have to stop for maintenance on the way.
Both the construction workers and soldiers who built the railway had a tough time. They used their own hands to create these tracks. The railway workers who work at the railway bureaus also have it hard. They have to maintain train after train every day to ensure a smooth operation.
This time they’re traveling on an express train, which is said to have an average speed of about 50 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
The train departs from the capital, heading straight to their destination. But due to maintenance and issues with the railway, it never actually reaches that speed. If the conditions are good, the speed might be decent. But when the conditions aren’t, it slows right down.
The return trip is on a regular-speed train, which is even slower.
"Getting home before the New Year would be nice, but it’s fine if we can’t make it," said Wang Fengqiao. The New Year celebration at home isn’t as grand as that in the city. Did they not live better days in the city than during the New Year celebration at home? Wang Fengqiao wasn’t really rushing home for the New Year, she just didn’t want to cause trouble for Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. "To be honest, I just can’t leave your uncle behind!"
Feng Qingxue responded with a drawn-out "oh", a smile on her face. She understood, she understood, she completely understood.
Wang Fengqiao’s old face flushed, and she slapped her. Suddenly they heard Xibao shout, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
As he shouted, the little guy swung his fists wildly, as fierce as a small storm, and his movement kicked off the quilt covering him.
