"Grandpa, hurry up! Today is the first day of the opening of 408 and 409, and we must take both lines today. "On August 1, 97, 6-year-old Xiaoman stomped his feet anxiously at the door of the house, urging his grandfather who was still in the house.www.biquge.info

"Okay, okay, grandpa will be here soon, I'll sit with you today!" Fusheng, who is over the age of two with spotted sideburns and sparse white hair, came to City A, where his eldest son is located, for the first time from his hometown to live for a few days, but was pestered by his little grandson, who loves the bus and is at home during the summer vacation, to take the bus together almost every day.

Fusheng put on reading glasses, walked to the door with a cane, slowly put on his cloth shoes, and then slowly got up and walked out of the room. Xiao Man was impatient to wait, quickly closed the door, took out the key and locked it.

Xiaoman's family lives in No. 3, 5th Floor, Unit 2, Building 8, District 3, Paoya, this kind of old-fashioned residential buildings made of cement and bricks are the earliest ones built in the Paoya area, and the outer walls are covered with dense granular protrusions, which are very awkward to the touch. Although the house is older and the decoration inside is very simple, it is a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, toilet and balcony, which is considered a good condition at the average income level at that time.

"Grandpa, be careful when you go downstairs." Every time I go out, the biggest problem is to walk from the fifth floor to the first floor. But Fusheng is old, and it is a little difficult to go up and down the stairs, but his body is much better than Xiaoman's grandmother, so he will not be wheezing.

Half an hour later, the grandparents and grandchildren got off the 611 road 6154 big hinge in Wuyi Square, Xiaoman helped his grandfather carefully cross the road, and stopped in front of a green iron stop sign in the shape of a tennis racket.

"Grandpa, this is the station of 408 and 409, we take 408 when we go and 409 when we come back!" Xiao Man made no secret of his joy at taking the new line for a while, and his cute tiger teeth were exposed.

Fusheng looked at the stop sign with a puzzled face, very puzzled: "Isn't there a spring willow, why is there another spring willow river here?" Xiao Man smiled: "Grandpa, the scope of Chunliu is not only the point where we often pass by 611, the entire Chunliu Street includes the Chunliu River, Chunliu Tunnel and other places, all the way to the vicinity of Xiangzhou Road." ”

As soon as Xiao Man finished speaking, he drove a red and white four-wheeled Jinling 6101S double bus, just like a high-rise building, there are two stairs in the car, one front and one behind, both on the left side of the car, and the vehicle number is 1094. The oval light box in the middle of the first and second floors has a sign of "Railway Station 408 Ganjingzi", and the words "A City Ganghao" are painted on the top of the headlights, and the red letters of "Ganghao Bus" are painted on both sides of the body, and there are ridges on the cover of the mechanism behind the car, so that the structure inside cannot be seen. The four-wheeled hub is very interesting, as if it is showing a smile, and Xiaoman calls it "smiling wheel".

Fusheng looked at the double bus parked diagonally on the side of the road, and felt a little retreated: "Xiaoman, let's not sit, why do I think this car is in danger of falling!" ”

Xiao Man pursed his mouth: "Grandpa, why are you so timid, the passengers above are all fine!" It's your first time seeing a double bus in a big city, right? Don't be afraid, if something happens, I'll protect Grandpa! ”

Fusheng was amused by Xiaoman: "Okay, okay, grandpa will get in the car!" Xiao Man has to remember what he just said. The grandfather and grandson got on the double bus, and after the coin was put into the box, Xiaoman ran to the second floor excitedly, turned back to Fusheng and said, "Grandpa, your legs and feet are not dexterous, just sit down!" And you are afraid that the double bus will fall, and it will be safer on the first floor. ”

Fusheng was indeed still a little uneasy, so he listened to his grandson's words and sat down on the first floor near the stairs. Xiao Man chose the first row of seats with the widest view on the second floor, condescending, laughing and shouting: "Oh, sit on a big double bus, it's so high!" ”

408 passed through the classic old stations such as "Beihaitou", "Workers' Village", "Chunliuhe" and "Dafang" along the way, and the driving was very stable, and Fusheng felt quite boring on the first floor, too close to the ground. "I'm so stupid, how can a good car fall down? No, I'm going up to the second floor. ”

With that, Fusheng quietly began to climb the stairs, and walked to Xiaoman's side step by step and sat down. Xiao Man was indulging in the scenery along the way and the passing buses, not noticing Fusheng.

Accompanied by a sweet bilingual female voice in Chinese and English, 408 arrived at the terminal Ganjingzi. Xiao Man was about to get out of the car, and suddenly found Fusheng sitting next to him, looking at himself with a kind smile. He was startled: "Ah, grandpa, I didn't even notice when you came up!" "Hehe, I came up when I arrived at the Golden Triangle Market, how can I let my baby grandson enjoy such a good view alone?" "I really can't help you, let's get out of the car, watch out for the stairs." Xiao Man helped Fusheng slowly down the stairs, they were the last passengers to leave the double bus.

The driver also came over to help and said with great admiration: "I saw you walking upstairs at the Golden Triangle Market station, and I wanted to come over to help, but looking at your resolute eyes, it should not be the kind of person who accepts help easily." ”

"Of course, don't look at me 71 this year, but I don't accept old age, don't I still accompany my grandson to ride around in the car to play!" "Oh, then I have to take a look at you, it's the first time I've seen a grandfather with his grandson sitting on a double bus."

Fusheng said goodbye after chatting casually with the driver, and Xiaoman was a little jealous: "I take the bus more times than my grandfather, but I can't be so familiar with the driver." "Haha, this is called fate, and you will meet it sooner or later."

"Next, take 409 back, this time grandpa should not go up to the second floor."

Fusheng patted his chest confidently: "No, my legs and feet are good, I can go up and down on the fifth floor of your house, what's the point of climbing this kind of double bus one more time?" ”

Xiaoman shook his head desperately: "No, no, if you accidentally fall down the stairs, my ass will definitely bloom, and my parents won't let me go!" ”

"Eh, if there is something, grandpa will carry it, and he will definitely not let his baby grandson be wronged!"

"Okay, you sit on the second floor, you must be careful when you go upstairs, and you must not tell your parents about today's events."

"Don't worry, that's the secret of both of us."

The grandparents and grandchildren spent a happy time in the first row of seats on the upper deck of the 409 1060 car, the 409 double bus and the 408 are carved out of a mold, both are four-wheeled Jinling 6101S type, the paint and wheels are the same, and even the station is the same English and Chinese bilingual. Most of the stops are the same, the only difference is 409 from Tianjin Street to Ganjingzi, these two lines were born on the same day, like a pair of good sisters.

A few days later, Fusheng happily said to Xiaoman: "I have an old comrade-in-arms who lives here, and it was not easy to contact him, he now lives on Taiyuan Street, come with me to see him, you can call him Grandpa Wang." ”

"Well, if you want to go to Taiyuan Street, take 611 to 22, you can't lead the way without me, you've only been here for a few days, it's easy to get lost."

The grandparents and grandchildren arrived at the terminal People's Square on the 611 hinge, and when they walked to the station of No. 22, Fusheng looked at the stop sign and was circled again: "Isn't this the People's Square, how is it called Beijing Street?" Xiao Man was also a little confused: "Well, I don't know, maybe the Beijing Street area of Rail 1 Road includes here." ”

Talking about it, the 22nd road is coming, it is the same four-wheeled Jinling 6101S double bus as 408 and 409, the same "smiling wheel", the vehicle number is 1700, and the oval light box is placed with the brand of "Qingniwa Bridge 22 Xinghai Three Stations", the body is painted with blue and white bars, and there is no "Ganghao Bus", which is the only way to distinguish FAW and Ganghao Company, in fact, the two companies were basically one at that time.

"Let's get on the bus, this time you don't have to go up to the second floor, there are only two stops."

"How can such a good opportunity be wasted, although the distance is shorter, let's go up to the second floor."

"Absolutely not, you have inconvenient legs and feet, and it will be very troublesome when you get out of the car."

Who knew that as soon as he got in the car, Xiaoman couldn't find Fusheng, "Grandpa, where did you go?" It dawned on him that he immediately ran up to the second floor, and sure enough, Fusheng was sitting in a window seat near the stairs.

Xiao Man was a little unhappy: "You have no problem with your legs and feet, when it comes to Shuangba, I am more energetic than me." Fusheng laughed: "Of course, as soon as I get on the double bus, I can't care about the problem of legs and feet." ”

At that time, No. 22 had not added two stations in the direction of Xinghai, the Olympic Plaza and the Second Department of the First Hospital of the Medical University, and there was only one stop from Zhengren Street from the People's Square to Taiyuan Street, and the road conditions were good that day, and the grandparents arrived at the destination in less than 15 minutes.

After getting out of the car, Xiaoman pouted to his grandfather and said: "I said that it is inconvenient for you to go downstairs, just now the driver's uncle is obviously unhappy, next time you take a double bus for a short trip, don't go up to the second floor." ”

Fusheng didn't care: "It's okay to get off the bus and hurry up, let's go to Qingniwa Bridge to take a car in the future." ”

"You're right, let's find Grandpa Wang's house, do you know which neighborhood his house is in?"

"It's around here, just a few steps away."

As a result, the grandfather and grandson walked under the scorching sun for more than half an hour, sweating profusely, but they still didn't find Grandpa Wang's home. Xiao Man wiped his sweat and proposed: "You can find a public phone to contact him, this is not the way to find it." ”

Fusheng stopped in front of a public phone booth, and was just about to make a call, when he suddenly remembered something, and patted his head: "Oh, look at my memory, Lao Wang told me that his home is in Tongtai Street, but I remember Taiyuan Street, no wonder I can't find it." I won't be in a hurry today, so I have to go again tomorrow. Although I didn't find my old comrades-in-arms, I sat on a double bus again, which is worth it! ”

Xiaoman saw that his grandfather was smiling from ear to ear, and he was also infected, forgetting the unpleasantness of being exposed to the scorching sun in vain: "Yes, I've always wanted to take the 22nd route, and today I have made my wish." ”

The next day, Xiaoman said to his grandfather: "I have to take No. 15 to Tongtai Street today, and that line is also a double bus, so don't go up to the second floor." ”

40 minutes later, the grandparents and grandchildren stood at the No. 15 station in People's Square, only to see one after another double buses passing on the road, four-wheeled, six-wheeled, open-topped, and capped; Jinling, Bengbu, Fulaixibao; 16, 19, 303, 408, 409, 702, 709, 801, colorful and dazzling.

Fusheng was dumbfounded: "Oh, it turns out that you have so many double bus lines here, I really want to sit all at once." ”

Xiaoman smiled slightly: "Come one by one, grandpa, the 15th road is here." A blue and white bar six-wheeled Jinling 6121S double bus drove over, her light box cover is smaller than the 6101S type, the sign is "Liberation Square 15 Zhongshan Square", and the wheels are still "smiley wheels". On the left side of the car, there are two stairs, one front and one back, and the rear window on the second floor is relatively small. There is no light box at the back of the car, but there is a small round window in the center, and there is a dense grid on the lid of the mechanism, so you can clearly see the structure of the engine, which is the kind of old-fashioned turbine.

As soon as the grandparents got in the car, they began to argue about where to sit, and Fusheng insisted on going up to the second floor with Xiaoman: "My legs and feet are good, it's too boring to sit on the first floor." Xiao Man didn't give an inch: "We clearly said yesterday, you have to sit on the first floor of the short-range double bus, I move fast, it doesn't matter if you are on the second floor!" “

Fusheng saw that the passengers' eyes were focused, and he had no choice but to sit on the first floor with his back against the stairs. Although he successfully met his old comrades-in-arms this time, Fusheng felt very uncomfortable, and when he came back, he was worried all the way, and he really cared about not sitting on the second floor.

Finally, the opportunity came again, and when it was close to the end of the month, Xiao Man ran to Fusheng excitedly: "Grandpa, before you go, let's go and take a 709 double bus, this time you will have enough fun." ”

Forty minutes later, the grandfather and grandson stood at the People's Square station at 709. Soon the car came, it was a six-wheeled Jinling 6122S model, and the 702 also used this model. The body is mainly painted in yellow, supplemented by red and blue, and there are words "joint operation double bus" on both sides. The oval light box in front is the same size as 6121S, and the brand is "Zhongxing Building 709 Xinghai Park", but the rear window on the second floor is larger than 6121S, and the rear lid is closed like 6101S, with a ridge, and there is no light box and no round window behind the car, which is more unique. The wheels of 6122S still maintain the appearance of the factory when they first left the factory, and they have not been replaced with "smiley wheels", the front wheels and rear wheels look bitter and hateful, and the middle wheels seem to be crying, Xiaoman calls it "angry crying wheel".

The grandparents and grandchildren had a good time again, accompanied by the sweet English-Chinese bilingual female voice station, 709 walked through the old stations, "Heavy Machinery Factory", "Lifting Roller Skating Factory" and "Xingpu Manor", these are the station names and landmarks that no longer exist in the future, especially the Lifting Roller Skating Factory and Xingpu Manor, which are the unique station names of 709.

The most impressive part of Xiaoman was the unguarded railway crossing under the Tahrir Square bridge, which runs through Gaizhou Street and passes through an arch to the thermal power plant. At that time, the arch was locked, and there was an obvious switch in the railway, and Xiao Man really wanted to have the opportunity to come here again to pull that turnout, but this was the first time he saw this turnout, and it was also the last time. Ten years later, it was filled in and the Seven Days Express Hotel was built.

The grandparents didn't stay much in Xinghai Park, just walked around the neighborhood casually and took 709 back. At that time, it was still a bit desolate, and the elevated road after the reconstruction of the 2nd rail road had not yet been built.

Finally came to the day when Fusheng left, Xiaoman and his grandfather pulled Gougou: "Grandpa, you must come again, let's go to sit on the double bus together." "Okay, I'll come back." Who knew that Fusheng left City A and only set foot on this land again 11 years later.

In 2001, No. 15 was the first to replace the Huanghai 6121S bicycle, and the double bus was given to the No. 26 in the suburbs, which was extended from Zhongshan Square to Mingze Street in 2004, and the Huanghai 6121S20 bicycle was replaced in April 2006. In the spring of 2003, 709 replaced the Jinling 6110A2 bicycle, and Shuangba began to gradually withdraw from Zhongshan Road. In the summer of the same year, Xiaoman returned to his hometown for the first time, and he was very happy to see that his grandfather was still healthy. "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for six years, you are still in good health, you must go to my place to play again, our double buses have begun to decrease, and if you don't go, you won't have a chance."

Fusheng smiled and nodded, and hooked up with his grandson again, he didn't know that there was a mole on his body that was slowly becoming cancerous. Xiaoman just returned to A city from his hometown not long ago, 702 changed the peony 6103DH1 type bicycle, since then Jinling 6122S double bus withdrew from the historical stage of A city bus, 409 also on September 1 and 410 swapped vehicles, using Shen Fei 6100F type bicycle, bidding farewell to the Shuangba era, 22 Road also changed Shuangba to 5 Road, with Huanghai 6112H1/7S type bicycle, and extended to Hongji Scholarly Garden.

In January 2005, 408 gradually replaced the Huanghai 6121S19 bicycle, and Shuangba began to withdraw from operation. During the Spring Festival of 2006, Xiaoman went back to his hometown again, and he urged his grandfather: "Go to me quickly, otherwise Shuangba will really be gone." Fusheng was a little overwhelmed: "I really want to go, but I'm not feeling well lately, so let's wait." ”

By November 2006, all the old double buses in City A withdrew from the historical stage of public transportation. Xiaoman deeply regretted: "Alas, the agreement with my grandfather can't be fulfilled, I don't know if his old man is okay now?" "In January 2007, No. 15 replaced Ankai 6121GK15 and 6100GK39 bicycles, and on April 1, it was integrated with 709 and extended to Xinghai Park, following all the stations of the original 709, but there was no sign of replacing the new double bus.

In the autumn of 2008, Fusheng was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the cancerous spread of the mole was so serious that it could not be eradicated. "Ahem, I didn't expect this thing to be hidden quite deeply, it's too late to treat it now, let's go see my grandson again, I won't see it when it's late."

Xiaoman received Fusheng at the train station in City A, and he was not happy at all: "Grandpa, now we don't have Shuangba here for the time being, I don't know when we will buy a new one, you are a little late, and our agreement cannot be fulfilled." ”

"Ahem, that's it, that's it, I can't sit on the double bus again in the last year of my life, it's a pity in this life." A few days later, Fusheng left City A disappointed, and it turned out to be a farewell.

In April of the following year, No. 16 replaced 20 new six-wheeled Jinling 6120SCK double buses, all of which were LED light boxes, with only one staircase, the body was mainly white, supplemented by blue and purple ribbon-shaped painting, and the left and right sides were painted with the logo of City A bus, painted with the red letters of "City A bus, your mobile home". At the same time, 801 launched 8 red Yangzhou Yaxing 6130SHA type red supplemented by gray and white ribbon painting of the six-wheeled double bus, the left and right sides of the body also have the logo of City A bus

Xiaoman called at the first time to convey the good news to Fusheng, but what he got was the bad news of his grandfather's death. He cried bitterly: "Grandpa, why did you go so fast, I haven't taken you on the new double bus yet!" ”

Later, Xiaoman took the photos of Fusheng to take the two new cars, and muttered to himself: "Grandpa, you haven't taken the 16-way Fleixibao and the 801 open-top Jinling Shuangba before your death, are you a little unaccustomed to taking the new car directly this time?" ”

From 2011 to 2012, 15 roads were launched with a total of 16 red and blue Yaxing 6130SHA six-wheeled double buses, with two red front doors, the headlights are small round lights, and the front glass of the second layer is flat without arc, which is called "Yali Mountain"; The front door of the blue car has only one piece, and the headlights are long, the same as the 8 cars of the 801. There are also 8 pink Ankai 6120GS01D six-wheeled double buses, which have the words "City A bus, your mobile home" written on both sides.

Xiao Man took the photo of Fusheng and went to sit in all the models, he turned the photo out the window, and whispered: "Grandpa, Route 15 annexed the old 709, from Xinghai Park to Mingze Street." You see, this is where we walked in the old 709, it is really a time has passed, the name of the station has changed, the factory is yellow, and the railway has been filled, but this memory will always be there. ”

Suddenly, in front of Xiao Man, the phantom of Fusheng appeared, revealing a kind smile. Xiao Man had mixed feelings, reached out to grab it, and shouted: "Grandpa, don't go, stay with me for a while!" But he caught a blank shot, attracting strange glances from the surrounding passengers.

"Alas, I'm so stupid, how can there be such a strange thing as a dead man's apparition? It must have been a hallucination that I wanted to sit with my grandfather too much. ”

The red Yaxing Shuangba continued to drive on the streets of memory, and no one except Xiaoman knew that this place carried the heavy past of a pair of children and grandchildren.
