Chapter 440: When I was a child
It doesn't matter if Xiao Yao doesn't look at it, he panicked when he saw it, the time has already passed, he hurriedly asked:
"Whose refund ticket did you buy? How can the window sell outdated tickets?"
At that time, there were no scalpers and fake tickets, and no one would think of buying fake tickets. At this time, Xiao Ai burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
"Brother Xiao Yao, take a closer look at the date, today's tickets have already been bought, and the fastest one is only at 10:20 tomorrow morning. ”
Zhou Weiai explained with a smile, Xiao Yao only understood, and had no choice but to accept his fate. He depressedly took the two of them to the noodle restaurant again and asked Yuan Yuan for a bowl of knife to cut noodles.
"You two are here, I'll go find a guest house, don't be crowded and have no room at that time, you have to stay in the waiting room for more than 20 hours, it's not a joke. ”
Zhou Weiai didn't agree when she heard it, she had to go with Xiao Yao to book a room, Yuan Yuan said that she wouldn't walk around after eating here, and agreed that Xiao Ai would go with him. But Xiao Yao didn't feel at ease to leave Yuan Yuan here alone, he thought about it, and still felt at ease when she finished eating and left together.
The heavy snow continued to fall, and Xiao Yao looked at the howling wind and flying snowflakes in the sky, and his mood was very low. If this snow continues to fall like this, whether it will be able to leave the transit city tomorrow is really a question mark.
The room in the guest house was as nervous as Xiao Yao expected, and he took Xiao Ai and Yuan Yuan to find several houses, all of which were full. Heavy snow blocked the trip, and many people were stranded in the transit city.
People who do not have a work permit and a letter of introduction from the employer cannot live in a guest house. In this cold winter, the vast majority of people can only spend the night in the waiting room.
Came to a guest house again, the sky was pitiful, and finally there was a single room, Xiao Yao didn't care about the price, he directly took out the letter of introduction and set it down. Xiao Yao asked the two of them to go to the room first, and she wanted to look for it, but Xiao Ai stopped her:
"Brother Xiao Yao, we have enough of this one. This big bed, we squeezed to deal with it for one night, and left tomorrow. ”
Although Yuan Yuan thought that it was not easy to sleep like this, but when she went out, where was there so much attention?
"I've found so many homes, only this one, you may not have to look for it again, this snowy day, don't run anymore." ”
Xiao Yao thought that this was indeed the case, so he gave up. After settling in the room, the three of them couldn't sit still, they were all young people, and they couldn't sit anywhere.
After a short rest, Xiao Ai wants to go outside to take a look, after all, although they have passed by a few times in this transit city, they are all in a hurry, and they are all fine this afternoon, just to have fun.
In the evening, the snow that had fallen for a day finally stopped, but the dark clouds in the sky did not decrease at all.
The three of them wandered around all afternoon, and there was nothing to buy. Originally, the three of them brought a lot of things, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to take them if they bought them again. After dinner, we went back to the guest house.
There is no heating in the guest house, the only good thing is that you can take a hot shower. After Xiao Ai came back, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, she went to take a bath first, took a bath, and took advantage of the heat to get into the cold quilt.
"Sister Yuan, you also wash, it's not cold after taking a shower, I'll cover the quilt first. ”
Xiao Yao came out of the bath, Xiao Ai hurriedly beckoned Xiao Yao to sleep on the outside of him, and used his body to make a block between him and Yuan Yuan.
The shade in the summer and the warm quilt in the winter are the simplest enjoyment of life. Isn't this a kind of happiness when they wake up naturally when they have nothing to do? Xiao Yao and the others not only slept until they woke up naturally, but they didn't rush to get up even when they woke up.
Outside the snow is stopped, but the temperature is lower. It is cold before the frost and cold after the snow, and the ice and snow on the ground form quickly, and all the water stagnant becomes ice.
The hot quilt is difficult for a few people to get up, but the protest of the stomach is whether you are cold or not. The colder it gets, the more you need to eat to increase your calories.
"Get up, want to sleep, come back to sleep after eating, it's not far from the station, it's not too late to come back and rest after eating. ”
Seeing that breakfast was almost over, Xiao Yao himself was also hungry and panicked, urging them to get up together.
"Brother Xiao Yao, you go buy it and let's eat, bring a deck of poker back, we will play cards after eating, and I won't go out." ”
"Xiao Ai, let's get up and eat together, it's cold when we bring it back. ”
Yuan Yuan, who felt very uncomfortable when she woke up, pushed Xiao Ai's lazy body, and she got up first. Seeing Xiao Yao's approving gaze, her face was a little feverish. Although it is said that there is a little love between the two when they are sleeping, after all, they are sleeping in the same bed, and it is not good to say it.
Xiao Ai didn't grind anymore, and the three of them washed and walked out of the guest house together. The freezing and snow on the road surface made a crisp cracking sound when people stepped on it, and the weather was not likely to turn clear.
"Brother Xiao Yao, last time I was at your house, I heard my aunt say that when you were a child, you learned to ride a bicycle when you were a child, and you were run over by a big truck, which frightened her, what is going on?"
When he came back from breakfast, Xiao Yao bought a poker game, and sat on the bed to play cards, when Zhou Weiai suddenly asked about it.
"It's nothing, playing cards, the three of us play seven, ghost, two, five, three. ”
This is a way to play poker, where each person draws seven cards first, and in the order above, the small seven is the largest, the small three is the smallest, and the other sizes remain the same. The small three is also greater than other cards such as no longer in order, and can only be played alone or in a pair.
Grab all seven cards, hand cards minimum first out, after the cards, play a few, when no one presses, the first to make up a few, the remaining two, in order to make up, until a deck of poker fifty-four cards to make up, who first out of the hand of cards, who wins.
Only at the same time to get together seven, ghost, two, five, three, five cards is the largest, can be played at the same time, the same five cards, do not press each other. In the game, he pays great attention to card skills, and Xiao Yao wins every time.
"If you don't play this anymore, your hands are cold. Brother Xiao Yao, you should tell us about how you learned to drive when you were a child. ”
Xiao Yao saw that Yuan Yuan also cast an expectant gaze, and he laughed dryly.
"Well, it's okay anyway, I'll tell you about my childhood. ”
As soon as Zhou Weiai and Yuan Yuan heard that there was a door, they hurriedly leaned back on the head of the bed, sat comfortably, and made a posture of listening carefully.
"When I was very young, my father was ordered to be sent to the countryside under the slogan of being overthrown by the technical authority......"
According to the requirements of the Workers' Propaganda Office at that time, Xiao Yao's family was to be sent to the coal mine to dig coal. It's just because the director of the Industrial Propaganda Office didn't know how to pretend to understand and blindly command when the unit and Xiao's father were jointly building a project.
Xiao's father was a technician in charge of the structure at that time, and seeing that according to the director's practice, there would be major safety hazards, the director was quite unreasonable and asked Xiao's father to leave the construction site, threatening that the working class would be the master of the house, and a person like Xiao's father who was technologically supreme would be defeated.
"Down with the technical authority" was a very popular slogan at that time, Xiao's father explained for a long time, he played the piano to the cow, and then he was abused and unbearable, and first knocked the director who pushed him to the ground.
The embarrassed and angry director of the Labor Propaganda Office was so angry that when he returned to the unit, he ordered Xiao's father to be sent to the coal mine for labor reform.
Xiao's father was reluctant to go to the coal mine, and repeatedly insisted on not leaving, and finally the factory director came forward to mediate, and according to Xiao's father's wishes, he was sent to his hometown for labor reform.
It was also winter in that year, on a snowy day, the unit used a liberation car to send Xiao Yao's family to their hometown.
When he first arrived in his hometown in the countryside and had no place to live, Xiao's father did not want to disturb the extremely poor villagers, so he directly asked to live in the cow house of the production team.
In this way, Xiao Yao's family stayed in the countryside for more than a year, and spent it completely in hunger and cold. Xiao's father didn't know how to do farming, so he had to bring some small tools and go to the village to repair locks and keys for everyone, in exchange for a little bit of food, which was used to support his family.
Later, the production team leader felt that Xiao's father was in the countryside like this, and the family life was difficult to manage. The production team can't afford it, and many families in the village eat vegetables when they are not harvested, and it is difficult to protect themselves, so how can there be surplus food to help Xiao Yao's family?
The captain instructed Xiao's father to take the whole family back to the city secretly, and no one would report it here, just go back to the village a few times a year to report for duty.
Xiao's father obeyed the captain's arrangement, returned to the city with his family, went to Xiao Yao's mother's house, left the young Xiao Yao in the suburban vegetable team, and took Xiao Yu to the suburbs to live in seclusion. It was also at that time that Xiao Yao accepted the irregular guidance of his third uncle and began to practice martial arts.
Xiao's father was one of more than a dozen members of the provincial construction team, belonging to the early construction workers, and he had advantages in structural technology, so he hid on the construction site and started the earliest generation of black contractors.
Xiao Yao spent time at his grandmother's house from then until he was in the second grade of primary school. It's the third grade of primary school, and there is no third grade in the village's primary school, so Xiao's father can only take Xiao Yao back to his side and transfer him to the second elementary school in the south gate of the city.
At that time, Xiao Yao's family did not dare to live in Grandpa Xiao's house, nor did they dare to live in Xiao Yao's grandmother's house, for fear that some acquaintances would see the report. Xiao's father lives in a rented house, which can be said to be a fixed residence, and he will have to move to another place in a year and a half.
"Brother Xiao Yao, when did you learn to drive?"
When Xiao Ai heard this, she couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yao learned to ride a bicycle, no one helped him to teach, he would help his father push the cart every time he went out with his father.
After pushing for a long time, he put his left foot on the pedal, slowly slipped a section, so that the two slipped farther and farther, and mastered the balance, he stretched his right foot under the tripod and rode diagonally.
Speaking of the car accident, it was a summer, Xiao Yao's family lived in the southeast corner of the provincial capital, opposite the bus factory. That day, my uncle rode a newly bought permanent brand bicycle to dinner, and Xiao Yao took advantage of everyone's drinking, finished eating early, and secretly pushed the new car out to ride and play.
Xiao Yao first slipped away in the threshing floor of the village for a while, felt that it was not enjoyable, and rode the car onto the road again, just as he was turning from west to east and south, the roar of the cart came from behind.
Xiao Yao looked back and saw that the fully loaded truck had already reached the back of his bicycle, and before he could react, the bicycle had been knocked down, he was thrown on the road, and the big truck roared and drove past him.
