Volume One Hundred and Seventeen Hunger and Cold
Although the test started at 9 o'clock, the driving school required us to get it at 8 o'clock. The test site is not very far from the vicinity of our school, and it is also there after four stops by rail transit, which is the door of a district traffic police squadron. Because I still had to wait for my sister's "friend", I came to the test venue early.
The traffic police squadron didn't go to work until half past eight, but the entrance was already full of candidates, and these people were from the same driving school as me. With excellent strength, the driving school was stunned and asked the police force to open a special session for us. Since there was no door to open, we had no place to escape the biting cold wind, so we could only experience the winter in Cha Ha Chong in all aspects at the gate.
The snow on the road from the previous night has been shoveled by sanitation workers onto the curb on the side of the road, and the rest has been crushed into black ice water slag by vehicles coming and going, and it is particularly disgusting to step on it. In order to make it easier to step on the clutch and accelerator, I also deliberately wore a relatively thin pair of shoes, and within a few steps, they were covered with black ice ballast and white snow, and then turned into snow water through heat transfer. In order to replenish the heat taken away by the evaporation of water, I had to put my hands in my pockets and keep stomping and pacing back and forth, trying to keep the cold from spreading from the bottom to the top. However, the condition of the upper body is not much better. Although there was a hood to cover the ears and half of the mouth, there was nothing to cover the nose, and the cold wind could still carry the heat from the neck above the neck through the gaps. Sihasha's voice unconsciously came out of his mouth, and his hand also took out his mobile phone from time to time to see if there was a phone number from "that friend".
Finally, it was time to open the door, but the call hadn't come yet, and I didn't know what to do next, so I could only go in and draw lots according to the exam process first, and listen to the examiner explain the precautions to us. There are a total of six cars for the exam, each car is tested for 12 students, and it is divided into morning and afternoon, and if the test is not completed in the morning, it will be the turn of the afternoon to take the exam. I think my name is relatively low, but I should be able to take the exam in the morning. After allocating the vehicles, we were "driven" to the gate again, and the special vehicles for the test had been parked. At this time, the call still hadn't come yet, so I was a little anxious, so I called Sister Ye.
After all, it's a shady thing, and I deliberately found a corner where there are fewer people, and I learned from the movie to ask what Sister Ye's situation is now. My sister knew that I was in a hurry, so she hurriedly helped me contact the "friend" and then gave me his contact information. Just as I was about to make a call, he finally called. As instructed, I first told him the name of the examiner and then he would communicate with him. With this phone call, I finally let go of half of my suspense, but I was a little distracted before, and I was a little vague about the name of the examiner, so I mixed into the hall of the squadron in the name of going to the toilet, and found the specific name of the examiner in the public column of the police officer.
I thought that everything would go smoothly according to the plan after getting the name, but soon the friend called and said that the examiner did not bring a mobile phone and could not get through, and it was estimated that he would not be able to contact him until noon, and asked me to find a way to take the exam in the afternoon. It's easy to say, how can this method be so easy to think about, the examiner has a roster in his hand, and it's not up to me to decide when the exam is! But now that you have set foot on this road, you can only go all the way to the dark. I looked at my phone, although it was almost noon, but the number of candidates in our car was also decreasing, and soon it would be my turn, and I still hadn't thought of anything yet. At this time, I didn't feel the cold of the outside world at all, but sweated. It's only ten minutes before noon, and I think it shouldn't be my turn, so I quickly hide away so that the examiner doesn't remember me.
In the morning, there was a bit of sun, and we all thought it was a good day, but it didn't take long for us to be surrounded by haze again, and the sky gradually began to fall with snowflakes.
The car of the previous candidate came back very quickly, probably because he did not pass, and I hid in the corner and saw his depressed face after getting out of the car from a distance. However, before I had time to feel sorry for others, the examiner began to shout my name through the roster. I quickly hid myself in the woods by the side of the road, like a soldier being targeted by a sniper, and did not dare to show my head at all. The examiner shouted my name again and again, and the voice was like a howitzer fired one at a time, constantly bombarding my fragile heart, and I was really afraid that I would not be able to bear it in the end and go out for the exam.
Finally, the shelling ended...... The examiner drove the exam car out of the exam room, and my heart was temporarily calmed. Next, it's a matter of waiting. Since I needed to make the corresponding arrangements according to the instructions of "that friend" in time, I did not dare to go back to school, so I could only wait patiently with others in the examination room.
This time, the traffic police opened a small store at the entrance, which had heating, snacks, instant noodles and hot water, waiting for many people to go in and keep warm. It's been freezing outside all morning, and I'm a little overwhelmed. Although this dry cold is not as high as the damage value of wet cold, it can't stand the constant damage, and it only took half an hour to break my armor. I lifted the curtain of the commissary, and immediately the smell of instant noodles hit, especially the irresistible taste of Laotan sauerkraut. Although I have eaten several boxes of instant noodles in the past three years, I still can't resist this temptation, and I swallow my saliva unconsciously. A small prefabricated house of ten square meters was crowded with people, and there was no place to sit at all, so some people simply went out to eat after making noodles. I kept swallowing my saliva, my body warmed up quickly, and the gluttonous aroma made me want to have a bowl of instant noodles at first, but when I heard that it cost 10 yuan a bucket, I immediately gave up the idea. After all, I still have to pay "tea money" when the time comes, so I can save it.
Since I didn't buy anything, I couldn't be cheeky enough to stay in this incubator, swallowed my saliva and opened the curtain and walked into the cold wind.
At this time, I called again to ask about "that friend", and he said that he had not yet been contacted, and it was estimated that the examiner had not returned yet, so I continued to wait patiently, and at the same time let me relax. How could such weightless words make me feel at ease, it only makes me more anxious.
The ground was covered with a layer of snow, and all around me were footprints from my pacing, and the cold wind began to take away my heat again, and due to the low temperature, the snot secreted from my nose hung in my nose as if it was frozen, and it felt like two foreign bodies blocked my nostrils, making it a little difficult to breathe, and I could only breathe through the mouth contained in the collar. The waiting time is particularly long, and I also deeply understand what it means to be "hungry and cold".
