Chapter 30: Sitting in the wrong car
My parents took their luggage, bought two tickets, and sat from Fengxin to Nanchang Bus Station. When they were about to walk to the train station, they happened to meet the owner of a store they had asked for directions when they came.
When the man saw my parents again, he was a little excited. He walked up to my father and asked, "How's that?" My father was surprised, "What's that?" "Has your son's novel been published?"
When my father heard that, he knew he cared about this. "Not necessarily. "What does it not necessarily mean?" "It's possible to succeed and it can be to fail." "I want to see what he wrote," the man said, regretting his departure.
After the man left, my parents didn't dare to stay longer, so they walked to the Nanchang truck station the same way.
When I arrived at the Nanchang truck station, it was getting dark again. At this time, my father suddenly saw an old man who was not much older than him carrying a backpack on his back, a small monkey on each shoulder, a large monkey in his hand, and a whip in the other.
My father hurriedly stepped forward to strike up a conversation. Through the conversation, I learned that the old man turned out to be our hometown, and he was only a few dozen miles away from our home. He said that he had returned here by truck from Yunnan, and that he had been playing with monkeys on the way to earn money while rushing home.
"Then let's go home together. My father said. "Okay. The man said. But he said that there is no car to Wuchang here in Nanchang now, and it will be available tomorrow afternoon. "So what do we do now?" asked my father.
"What can I do. Let's boil it here. "Where will you stay at night?" asked my father again. "Wild. The old man said, "I have a quilt with me, and I am not afraid of the cold." What about you?" "We brought blankets. My mother said.
The old man thought about it, put down his backpack, took out an old blanket from it, and said to my father: "Fellow, I will give this blanket to you both, and you can find a sheltered place to stay overnight, and tomorrow afternoon we will meet here, and I will find a place to live." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he left the train station.
My parents found a rotten wall not far from the station and spent another night there. The next morning, they went to the place where rice cakes were sold and ate rice cakes, and at noon they still ate rice cakes. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the truck station again.
However, the old monkey man has not yet come. I was afraid that my father would not be able to get on the train if he didn't come, so I had to ask others which one of the cars stopped at the station before I went to Wuchang. Someone pointed at him, and he and his mother got into the car again.
Since I had already accumulated a lot of experience in the car when I came back, my parents sat smoothly all the way to Xiangfan. However, when they arrived in Xiangfan, they were penniless. I couldn't help it, so I just wandered around there again.
Circling around, they saw a middle-aged woman in a cleaning suit cleaning up a road. The mother hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Big sister, it's early." The woman knew that she must be in trouble, so she asked her if there was anything she needed help with.
My mother told her, "My baby and I came back from Nanchang. When I got here, I didn't have a penny left on me, and I was still hungry. If you're willing, we'll sweep the floor for you, and you can take care of our meal, okay?"
The woman looked up, wiped her forehead with her hand, thought about it again, and said, "Okay." So he handed the broom to my mother. When my parents had cleared the road for her, she went to help them get two steaming lunches.
My parents weren't humble either, so they picked up the lunch box and devoured it. After eating, the woman bought each of them a bottle of mineral water and asked them where they were going. "Shinno. My mother said.
"I can't help you. The woman said. "Then let's make our own way. The mother looked at the father and said. Then they spun around again.
Turning around, my parents came to a bus station. The front of the train at that station had Arabic numerals written on it, some with "2", some with "4", some with "7", some with "15" and so on. The numbers are all red, and there is a red circle around them like the sun, which looks a little cute.
Since I was used to riding free cars, my parents didn't look at people, and they didn't ask which car was going to Xinye, so they quietly lowered their heads and broke into a car. The driver glanced at them, but did not speak.
After a while, a conductor came up. I saw her holding a ticket rack in her hand and a pen in the other, shouting at the people in the car: "Buy a ticket, buy a ticket." "My parents don't have money, they don't buy tickets, they don't talk.
I didn't expect the conductor to even ask them. In this way, the car pulled them and ran in Xiangfan City. However, when the car reached the end of the line, my parents still didn't know how to get off.
When they didn't get down, the car pulled them to Xiangfan again. Back in Xiangfan, they still didn't know how to come down, so they pulled to the end again. I ran it three times over and over again. It wasn't until noon on the third day that the driver urged them out of the car because they wanted to eat. After getting off the bus, my parents thought it must be very close to Shinno, so they wanted to ask someone.
They turned around a few places and came to a canal, where they saw a middle-aged man with big shoulders and a round waist carrying water by the canal. My parents went up to him and asked him how to get there.
