A cheap trip (novel) Zhang Baotong 2016.4.28

Train 318 has been running all day on the 1,894-kilometer railway line from Xi'an to Guilin. This was long beyond the time limit I could tolerate on my travels. At this time, I was very agitated, feeling that the train would never reach the end. I looked at the train timetable over and over again, looking out the window at the slowly moving scenery with a gloomy face. Finally passed Changsha Station, and then passed Zhuzhou Hengyang Station, but there is still a long time before we arrive at Guilin Station. I really regret that I shouldn't have taken the train, if we had taken a plane we would have arrived in Guilin at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and now I'm afraid we would have been on the yacht bound for Yangshuo.

So, I lost my temper with my wife and said, I told you to take a plane if you want to go, but you have to be cheap, come out with the elderly group, just take this train can take people apart, and sit out of the lumbar muscle strain. The wife was also irritable and said, What's wrong? You've been nagging all the way, and you still don't pull it down? Don't look at me if I'm not angry, you'll be endless?

My wife's temper is worse than mine. If it had been my idea to take the train to Guilin, rather than her insistence, she would have known what she would have scolded me for. Because she was not in good health, she fell ill as soon as she went out, she couldn't sleep at night, and she couldn't eat well during the day. Because the food on the train is too expensive, but she has diarrhea as soon as she eats instant noodles, so she has been eating a few pancakes brought from home for the past two days. In fact, she was more annoyed than I was, because she hadn't traveled much, and she always imagined traveling very well, but in fact she didn't know that she would suffer when she went out. If she knew in advance that traveling would be like this, you would have carried an eight-person sedan chair and put 1,600 yuan on her, and she would not have come out. Although she realized it now, it was too late, but she couldn't vent it. Because the people who formed the group were her good friends, if she got angry, she would ruin the relationship.

My wife is a railway worker, I didn't have time to travel in the past, I retired, bought a house and a car for my children, and owed a lot of debts. Listening to the sunset red group to go to Guilin, and the cost is only 1600 yuan, I feel that it is too cheap. Therefore, she asked me to accompany her to Guilin for a trip.

I went to Guilin two years ago, and it was the Education Bureau that organized advanced individuals to go, and I played for a total of four days, and the cost was more than 4,000 yuan. But the wife went to Guilin for a 6-day tour, and each person paid 1,600 yuan. I thought it was incredible, because just the hard sleeper ticket to Guilin cost 600 yuan for a round trip, and the 1,000 yuan of money couldn't even cover food, accommodation and car for 6 days, let alone go to tourist attractions, because tickets to tourist attractions are very expensive. So, I persuaded my wife to wait for the weather to warm up, and then I took her out on a trip. However, my wife said that it is the off-season for tourism, and the cost is very small, and when it comes to the peak tourist season, the cost will rise a lot. After my wife did work many times, I agreed to accompany my wife to travel to Guilin with the Sunset Red Tour.

The train was running like a snail, but it finally got us to Guilin Station. Because the train was a little late, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening when it arrived at Guilin Station. We got out of the station and waited in the square. Lao Mu, who organized the group, stood aside and called the tour guide. It took a long time to get in touch with someone. Lao Mu said to everyone, everyone wait a while, and the tour guide will come over immediately.

So, everyone stood in the square and looked around, and some people began to take pictures of the station background with their mobile phones. The temperature in the south is just warm. When we got on the bus in Xi'an, we were all wearing cotton wool pants and thin cotton clothes, but when we got here, we felt that it was a kind of cool and wet night. Because it had just rained here, the ground was still wet. Maybe it's because of the nearly 30-hour train ride, everyone is tired, so they are anxious to enter the hotel early to take a shower and sleep comfortably. However, the tour guide didn't know what was wrong and didn't come yet. So, everyone began to complain, and some even began to complain. As soon as Lao Mu heard this, he hurriedly called the tour guide to come quickly.

After waiting for about another twenty minutes, the tour guide came, a young man, holding a small blue flag, talking about Guipu, discussing a few words with Lao Mu, and asking everyone to follow him. A group of more than 20 people followed the tour guide out of the square and walked along the street. Originally, I wanted to pick up the car nearby, but I didn't see the car after walking for more than ten minutes. I asked the guide, how long would it take? The tour guide said, 10 more minutes. My mother? I said, why do you have to walk for so long? The tour guide said that the car did not have a license plate and could not enter the city. I said, why don't you find a car that can go into the city? The tour guide said that the car that can go into the city will come tomorrow morning.

We followed the guide for about twenty minutes before walking on the side of the road in the dark, where a half-used minibus was waiting for us. We got on the bus, but there were only 17 seats on the bus, and we were about 20 people, so the tour guide gave a small stool to each of the people who did not have seats in the back. My wife and I were the last to get on the bus, so we had to sit on a small stool. Because of my long-term writing, I have a relatively strict waist disease, and after sitting for a long time, my waist hurts, and I can't sleep well at night. After a long train ride, my lower back already hurt, and then sitting on a small bench in the narrow aisle, my waist felt like it was broken when the minibus jolted hard. I didn't dare to sit on the stool anymore, so I stood with my hands on the armrests so that my waist could relax.

The car kept driving bumping on the sometimes dark and sometimes faintly lit road, making it feel like the car was driving not in the city, but in the suburbs. I wondered if we would be tricked into going to the black brick kiln to work for other people, because there were hardly any people in the place where the minibuses went, and there were no bustling streets.

Fortunately, we were not deceived into the black brick kiln, because the car was parked in front of a half-sized hotel with "Guifeng Hotel" hanging on it. The guidebook says it's a 3-star hotel, but it's actually a private hotel. Everyone got out of the car and stood in the lobby of the hotel waiting for Lao Mu to give everyone the keys. My wife and I are in room 312.

When I entered room 312, I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom. However, the flush toilet is bad, and you can only urinate, not poop. I called the waiter and said the toilet was broken. The waiter said that he had already told the repairman, but the repairman would come over tomorrow to repair it. Then, I was sent to a bathroom without a flush toilet. When I got back to my room, my wife told me that there was only cold water in the bath, not hot water. So, I went to the waiter again. The service said that the boiler was broken and was being repaired. I went to Lao Mu and said, this hotel can't live, no, just change to a hotel. But Lao Mu said, we have paid that money, so we don't expect to enjoy high-end services. I said that I was not asking for high-end service, but the bare minimum service. Lao Mu said, forget it, just make do with it for a few days. It makes me feel as if we haven't paid enough, and we don't even seem to have the right to complain.

As soon as I came back and told my wife what Lao Mu said, my wife was very angry and said that the travel guide clearly stated that the accommodation was a three-star hotel. But what kind of three-star hotel is this, it's just like a farmhouse. Lao Mu must have eaten other people's kickbacks from it, so he deceived us here. I said, I told you that it was too cheap and there was no good goods, and you didn't listen.

When sleeping, my wife either thinks the quilt is too damp or the pillow is too hard. I told her that she should just come and experience the hard life. But his wife disagreed, saying that travel is to come out to enjoy. I said, you only paid more than 1,000 yuan, and you want to enjoy the treatment of 4,000 yuan. How is this possible?
