75. Chapter 75
It is really a pleasure for me and other ordinary people to occasionally travel on business to make a train, but today's situation is a sharp turn, for me it is simply a living sin, the consequence of making up the ticket is that I don't even get a simple seat, my feet are numb and numb for more than an hour, and when the mobile phone is fully charged, I can't stand it anymore, while the train stops in Nanjing, I began to look for it again.
It is said that opportunities are reserved for those who take the initiative, and my stubborn temper has come up again - I don't believe that there is no vacancy left for me on a train at Nuoda.
I seemed to have some confidence in the mending ticket.
I shuttled back and forth in the carriage again, and walked a long circle, except for the occasional passenger who got tired and got active, I quickly took the opportunity to sit down and rest, and there was no seat that could last long.
It was not a solution after several times, and finally I finally found an empty partition for the goods in the last row of the No. 7 car, and I immediately climbed up and sat down regardless of my image.
The partition was narrow and overhanging, and it was uncomfortable for me to sit on my stocky body, but it was much better than having my feet on the ground.
I looked at the phone is already more than five o'clock, the train is still running tirelessly, the mountains and rivers outside the window of the shadow of the mountains and rivers are retreating rapidly, I just asked the attendant, to Shanghai Hongqiao Station at least 7 o'clock in the evening, the little sister sent a text message and she will arrive in Shanghai in an hour.
We texted an appointment: to Shanghai she went directly to Chongming Island first, if it was better to go to Baozhen, and then book a room there, I will meet in the past.
I have asked my husband to check on the Internet that before 9 o'clock, there is still the last Shen Chong third line to Baozhen.
After getting off the high-speed rail and transferring to the subway, as long as everything goes well, I should be able to catch the last train to Chongming Island.
Shanghai's consumption is too expensive, it is really accommodation and meals, two people are a lot of expenses, this time, we shoulder the hope of the whole family, but not the past to play in the mountains and rivers, can save one to save one!
There is another layer that I am really worried about Xiaohai: if he comes back from work and can't see Pan Xiaoyan, what if something happens.
It would be better if I could find him today and see him with my own eyes, whether morning or night, I meditated in my heart......
After a few hours, the train finally stopped at Shanghai Hongqiao Station at 7:10 p.m., and I was tired and moved mechanically to follow the crowd of people who got off the train, lest I accidentally go on a wrong path.
Shanghai Hongqiao Station, as always, noisy, lively, passengers from the south to the north are rushing to their destinations.
I looked around and walked on my feet.
My sister texted me and told me to get off the high-speed rail and take the subway to People's Square to transfer to Line 1, and she reminded me that it was the rush hour and the bus was too crowded.
Although it is not the first time to visit Hongqiao Station, it is the first time to take the subway from here, and I look around for fear of missing the subway entrance.
It is not a loss of Shanghai metropolis, the pomp of Hongqiao Station is not comparable to Xuzhou East Railway Station, not to mention the dazzling variety of restaurants on both sides, it is one after another, and I can't see the end of the passage to make me dizzy, I inquired several times, turned around several times, and did not find the subway station that I have been looking forward to for a long time.
Moving my sore, numb legs, I gritted my teeth and continued to walk.
I don't know how long I walked, and finally saw the entrance marked on the subway, I excitedly trotted forward, just wanted to enter, but was ruthlessly stopped by an obstacle, I suddenly remembered that I needed to buy a ticket stone chair - the first time I took the subway, I thought I would get on the bus like a bus and buy a ticket.
Fu turned around and queued up to buy tickets, but it was not expensive, only 5 yuan bills.
As soon as I stepped into the entrance of the subway, I felt like I had walked into a maze, with roads extending in all directions, turning one after another, walking around and turning stairs that could not be completed, and full of people, I was lost in it, and I didn't know where the No. 2 subway I was going to take was.
I stood on the high escalator in a bit of a daze, not knowing whether to go up or down, like a panicked child who had arrived in the bustling city for the first time.
I can't blindly go forward, what should I do if I'm really wrong, when Xiaohai doesn't find it, I lose it again, it's really over.
I searched carefully, there were obvious hints on the wall pillars and turns, I was still a little uneasy, I carefully examined in the crowd, and planned to find someone to ask for directions,
Inquiries also need to be carefully considered, and if you choose the right person, you can get good help, otherwise you will be ridiculed or rolled your eyes.
It was the rush hour after work, and there were people everywhere in sight, shoulder to shoulder, and in the bustling crowd, I finally captured a target - a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, wearing a ponytail, carrying a small bag cross-body, refreshing and very pleasing to the eye, I quickly stepped forward to talk.
I expressed my meaning in Mandarin that I am not very fluent: I am going to Chongming Island to look for people, and I want to transfer to Line 1 to Wenshui Road, how to get there.
Maybe it was my look that moved her, or maybe it was my anxious look that made her sympathize, and she enthusiastically asked me to go with her - she also transferred to Line 1.
I was naturally very happy, we walked side by side and chatted, and the little girl asked curiously who I was looking for on Chongming Island so late.
Of course, I can't say that my brother took a woman to elope, so I had to lie and say that my little sister went out to work and there was no news, and suddenly someone said that he saw her on Chongming Island...... The little girl kindly reminded me to be careful of scammers and stay safe on the road.
It seems that there are still many good people in this world.
Finally got on the legendary subway, there were so many people, I was almost surrounded by the crowd to go up, after going up, I was looking forward to finding a vacant seat, which Cheng wanted the whole carriage to be full of sardines, not to mention moving around, even turning around is quite difficult: one by one you are next to me, I squeeze you, fortunately the subway runs smoothly, otherwise a stumbling will not pounce.
The speed of the car seemed to be very fast, it stopped once in a few minutes, the door opened and closed, the crowd rushed down like a tide, and the tide came up again, the carriage was just a moment of relaxation and returned to the original, taking advantage of a few seconds of space, I quickly found a corner against the handrail, which was considered to settle myself.
Xiaomei sent a text message, telling me the route in detail - she did the No. 1 subway from Shanghai Station, and now she has taken the special line to Chongming Islandbao Town, she did not forget to remind me that Wenshui Station got off the overpass, and there was a small stall selling vegetable pancakes at the corner, but I wanted to buy something to eat, don't Xiaohai didn't find it at that time, and I was hungry first.
She didn't say she didn't feel it, and she was really hungry now.
If you are at home at this time, you must be enjoying a pot of fragrant hand-rolled noodles or a few dishes carefully prepared by your husband and son.
Now I am alone, but I am so embarrassed in the bright lights of Shanghai.
I leaned lazily on the car, and my tired face was reflected outside the window.
