Chapter 3, Section 1 Searching for troops in the unfamiliar area of Meilian
After more than an hour, Meilian and the old lady arrived at the terminal of the No. 18 bus, Huangpu Military Academy Station, she got off the bus with the crowd, and told the old lady to pay attention to the safety of getting off the bus, she estimated in her heart what to do, looked at the content written on the note, said that she had to take a taxi to reach the army, to be honest, she was very panicked, because she was not familiar with these places and had not been there, the last time she came to Guangzhou with Jianguo, it was completely a car transfer of the army, and there was no need to remember the address and bus route, Later, from the army barracks to the city center to go shopping, it was also arranged by the army, she basically didn't need to ask, and now it was her turn to find a place to find someone in such a strange place, it was really difficult!
What to do? Now that it is forced to Liangshan, there is no way back to catch the ducks on the shelves, not to mention the old lady, there can be no more mistakes, no matter how difficult things have to be faced, gritted teeth have to rush forward, there is no reason to retreat.
"Mom, you take a rest here, I'll go to the front to find a car to go to the army." Meilian still placed the old lady as before, hoping that the old man would wait in the station, so as not to follow her around and ask around very hard.
"Meilian, I don't know the people here, and I can't understand the words, I'll go with you to find the car, and if you find it, I'll get in the car immediately, so that you don't have to work hard to run back and forth." The old lady didn't feel like the countryside here, and Meilian didn't seem to be familiar with these places, so it would be safer if the two were not separated.
"Do you have to walk to the opposite road in front to find a taxi? Is it okay to walk over there? "Meilian is really worried that the old lady is tired, and it is difficult to walk on a pair of small feet.
"It's okay, you can't be tired when you go out, let's walk together don't walk so fast, just walk slowly." The old lady said as she pulled Meilian forward, and the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law crossed the road with each other and arrived at the taxi stop.
Meilian waited in line for the car, there happened to be a car coming, the driver asked them where to go, Meilian immediately told to go to the base of the 68th Division of the National Army, did not think that the driver shook his head again and again and said that he didn't know that this place was not going, so he had to give the car to the passengers behind, Meilian was unwilling, or continued to wait in line for the car, three or four cars in a row behind said that they did not know and did not want to carry, at this time, the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little panicked, I didn't know what was going on, could it be that the language problem did not hear clearly, it should not be right, She showed the note to the driver, and it clearly said that the 68th Division of the National Army was clearly written, which should not be wrong, but why did they all say that they didn't know that place and didn't want to go?
"Sister, there is a rickshaw station about 100 meters in front of this station, the place you want to go may be relatively close, these taxi drivers are not willing to get closer, and it is not easy to queue up once and want to make more money, so you may be faster to take a ride there." A middle-aged man queuing behind Meilian couldn't help but want to tell the mother and daughter that they might be going out for the first time, and they didn't know much about the taxi situation in Guangzhou, so they kindly told them to take a rickshaw.
"Is that really the case? No wonder every car master said that he didn't know the place, it turned out to be this reason? In that case, let's go over and take a rickshaw, thank you! Good people are rewarded!" Hearing what others said, Meilian suddenly realized, blaming herself for not knowing the situation too much, since it is not far, it is the same to take a rickshaw to the past, it doesn't matter if you are slow, just go there in this way.
Meilian usually doesn't have many opportunities to walk side by side with her mother-in-law, but this time when she goes out, it can be regarded as a real hand in hand, and the two arms lean together in the same direction, and I really feel an indescribable warm power!
