At 11:42 p.m. on the 21st, Xiao Fei's train arrived at Shanghai Railway Station, which is the new passenger station in Shanghai.

After more than 27 hours on the train, I could only curl up or lie on the table or lean on the back of the chair to sleep, which made my back ache and rusty, and I was physically and mentally exhausted.

Xiao Fei walked out of the train station with his simple outfit on his back and staggered out of the train station.

After staying on the train for so long, his teeth were not brushed and his face was not washed, and his clothes were wrinkled and dirty, he felt that his whole body was swishing, and his body exuded a sour smell.

A wave of heat from the train surrounded him, making him slimy and covered in sweat, and the smell of his body was even more unpleasant.

It was late at night.

Out of the station, Xiao Fei felt a hint of coolness in the night.

Although it was late at night, the huge square was still crowded with people.

He walked slowly with the flow of people, and decided to rush to the vicinity of Liangcheng New Village to find a hotel to live in. can arrive in Shanghai smoothly, his heart has been put into his stomach, at least he will not delay this time.

"Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Sir, do you want to serve? The new student girl is very tender. ”

"Sir, do you want a car? Where to go? I'll send you there. ”

From time to time, someone came over to talk, Xiao Fei ignored it, and just walked slowly to the outside of the train station area. No matter where the train station is a mixed place, as an outsider, it is better to be careful.

He only knew that Shanghai Xinke Station was in Zhabei, and Liangcheng New Village was in Hongkou, and the distance between the two was not too far. Xiao Fei had only been to Shanghai two or three times in his previous life, and he was not familiar with the city, especially at midnight, walking in a strange city, on an unfamiliar street, it was really a black eye, unable to identify the direction and not knowing where to go, and a feeling of confusion arose.

Although there seems to be an overnight bus in Shanghai, Xiao Fei doesn't think he can find it.

So, as soon as he walked out of the train station area, he flagged down a taxi.

Getting in the car, the driver asked, "Where is Mr. going?" ”

"Liangcheng New Village." Xiao Fei replied.

"Where is Liangcheng New Village?" The driver asked again.

This made Xiao Fei feel a little strange, he had always regarded Liangcheng New Village as a residential community, didn't he? A hint of something bad flashed through his heart.

"Isn't Liangcheng New Village a community?" When he asked this, Xiao Fei saw a mocking smile on the corner of the driver's mouth.

Living in China's largest and most prosperous city, the psychological superiority of Shanghainese in the face of outsiders is deep-rooted, and Xiao Fei is not impressed by the driver's reaction.

"Sir, you're mistaken, Liangcheng New Village is such a big place, you can't determine the specific location, there is no way to send it to you." The driver said.

From the driver's mouth, Xiao Fei knew that Liangcheng New Village was not a residential area, but a street office, which was equivalent to the administrative level of the township.

This made Xiao Fei a little annoyed.

He remembered that Dai Houying was a teacher at Fudan University, and in 1996, since she lived in Liangcheng New Village, did Fudan University have a family area there?

"Have you figured out where to go? Sir, don't affect my business, okay? The driver was starting to get a little impatient.

"Master, does Fudan University have a family area in Liangcheng New Village?" Xiao Fei asked with a smile.

The driver nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then I'll go around there." Xiao Fei said.

The driver started the car without a sound, and the taxi sprang forward, driving briskly on the road.

It was really late at night, and there were no cars on the road.

Xiao Fei sat in the co-pilot's seat, and inadvertently glanced at the meter, and his heart jumped suddenly, and the meter displayed the blood-red number 18.82.

He remembered that he hadn't asked the price just now.

Is the starting price 18.82 yuan?

This is 1996!

How could it be so high.

At this time, the starting price of Z market is only 3 yuan, which is more than 6 times lower than this price. Could it be that you met a black car driver?

"Master, is the starting price 18.82 yuan?" Although he knew that the driver was a little impatient, Xiao Fei still asked.

"Hmm."

"How can it be so expensive?"

The driver said in the vernacular, Xiao Fei didn't understand a sentence, but it was not a good word to think about.

Fortunately, when the master saw the blankness on Xiao Fei's face, he changed his Mandarin, and said angrily: "What is expensive?" Look what kind of car this is, Santana! According to the regulations, the daytime fee standard is 14.5 yuan per 5 kilometers, and it rises by 30% from 11 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning the next day, not 18.82 yuan? Have you studied math? The people of Ala Shanghai are the most disciplined, and they will not mess with you rural people! ”

Santana in the 90s was definitely a tall existence, and a car cost 1780,000 yuan.

While other provincial capitals are still full of "little yellow worms", a considerable number of taxis in Shanghai have been replaced by Santana.

It is worthy of being the largest metropolis in China.

was choked by the driver, Xiao Fei was very unhappy.

Day!

Is this gunpowder?

Xiao Fei was very depressed, but just by asking one more question, he actually provoked the other party to lose his temper like this.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that there was indeed a little problem with his question just now, as if he was suspecting that the other party was unruly and deceived customers, and it was no wonder that the proud driver master was furious.

Xiao Fei smiled and stopped talking.

In just over ten minutes, the car arrived at its destination, and the number on the meter jumped to more than 48 yuan in a thrilling way.

The driver took the initiative to explain: "If the drive is more than 10 kilometers, you will have to charge 50% of the money, this is the rule of Shanghai, I will not fool you." ”

Xiao Fei didn't talk nonsense, Ma Li paid the money and got out of the car.

Zhen Nyima doesn't know how poor she is if she doesn't come to Shanghai! He thought to himself.

He found himself standing at the door of a residential complex with a sign on the gate that it was a family home at Fudan University.

At this moment, it is already midnight.

Xiao Fei didn't know if Teacher Dai Houying lived here, but there was still time, he was not in a hurry, and now he was anxious to find a place to live quickly.

He was sleepy and tired, and he desperately needed a bed, which would be even more beautiful if he could take a shower by the way.

He found a hotel near this neighborhood and registered to stay.

The room is not big, but the health condition is acceptable, and the most important thing is that the house can take a shower.

Xiao Fei rinsed it indiscriminately and fell asleep.

The next day, he woke up at nine o'clock in the morning, ate something indiscriminately, and walked towards the gate of the community. Before going out, he asked the front desk of the hotel and learned that this family home covers a large area and has several doors.

In such a freshman living community, it is not easy to find someone.

Xiao Fei's strategy was very simple, and he walked straight towards the guard room at the entrance of the community.
