Chapter 3: Find an Acquaintance

So, Li Xiao and his father returned to the station.

Queue up to enter the station.

There are a lot of people going south. The waiting room is simply not enough, and the station has temporarily built a simple waiting shelter to increase the security force. It is said that during the Spring Festival of a certain year, because there were too many people and the security work was not in place, there was a stampede and crowding incident and caused casualties.

Li Xiao and his father waited in the temporary carport to enter the station. There were a lot of people, young, old, men, women, crowds. Some people spoke excitedly.

Waiting for the bus was boring, Li Xiao looked at the young people who were talking and laughing, and couldn't help but want to lean over and mingle. Father shook his head.

Li Xiao didn't listen, but still chatted nonsense.

After waiting for a few hours, I started to make a pit stop and get on the train.

After picking up the ticket, I went straight to the platform, and the men and women, dragging boxes and carrying bags, ran forward eagerly. Li Xiao and his father also ran in the crowd.

Then all the people poured into the carriage, and the carriage was crowded at once. In the aisles, in the aisles, in the toilets, as long as there is a slight gap, there are people standing full, and even on the luggage racks, "overcrowded" is not an exaggeration at all. It seems that the Chinese are all squeezed on the train heading south.

Li Xiao and his father were lucky to buy seat tickets, but there were many people who couldn't buy seat tickets, so they bought a standing ticket and squeezed up.

Looking at the excitement and excitement of the car full of people, Li Xiao felt that these people squeezed into this car as if they were on the subway to spring, and the banknotes, beauties, and happiness were waiting for them in front of them.

Li Xiao was not so excited, some were just apprehensive and uneasy, and more were confused and uncertain about the road ahead.

Finding his place and sitting down, my father put his luggage on the luggage rack. Smells fill the air. The people in the aisle are leaning or leaning or squatting. The narrow aisles were crowded with people, and the carriage attendants were pushing the food cart to sell fruit and snacks. Those who were squatting and standing saw the food truck coming, tried to recover their bodies, and made a passage for the food truck to pass, and when the food truck left, the aisle was instantly filled again.

There were all kinds of sounds in the carriage, reading books, chatting and chatting, and some people playing cards, and after twelve o'clock in the evening, the carriage gradually quieted down.

At about six o'clock in the morning, the radio prompted that Guangzhou Station had arrived. Hulala, the carriage that had been quiet just now suddenly became full of people again. Those who take the bag, call people, urge, and all kinds of voices gather.

Li Xiao and his father also took their luggage and got off the station with the flow of people.

Cold, big, high. Li Xiao's first impression of Guangzhou.

The wind was blowing in the early morning, and Li Xiao, who had just come out of the hot car, was quite uncomfortable and felt a little "cold". Looking at the countless high-rise buildings and the flow of people and vehicles in the morning light, a strange and new world unfolded in front of me, and I was as small as an ant.

You also need to take a car to get off the train to get to your destination.

The square in front of Guangzhou Railway Station is crowded with people. Someone came up and asked "do you want to take the car" and "where to go", but the father did not answer and walked straight ahead. After leaving those people for a distance, his father said to Li Xiao, "When you go out to take a car, don't take this kind of car, say a price before getting in the car, and the price will be increased halfway, if you don't give it, he will drive you down." So be sure to go to the bus station to buy a ticket to get on the bus, although the fare is more expensive, but reliable and rest assured, the country's car will not harm the people.

In addition, don't talk to people at will outside, the more fellows the more careful, now many of them are fellows deceiving fellows, deceiving you without discussion. If you are not careful, you will fall into the way of others and fall into the hands of others.

Also, in the future, the money will be separated, and only the money for tickets and snacks will be left outside, and the rest of the money will be collected. I usually put it in my socks and shoes. ”

"Hmm". Listening to his father's nagging, Li Xiao began to be helpless again.

"Don't listen, there are a lot of thieves and pickpockets now, and when someone hits you, the money will be stolen. Your father has been in charge of it many times. Can you beat them as a girl? All you can do is guard and self-preservation. Father continued.

Regarding the hiding of money, Li Xiao remembered that her mother and several aunts seemed to have sewn a small pocket on their underwear, and the money was placed in that small pocket, leaving only some change outside. They also boast that it's the safest place to put their money.

Li Xiao and his father's destination is a small town in the South China Sea. There happened to be a car to arrive, and my father bought a direct ticket.

Check in and board the bus.

The car slowly drove out of the station, gradually moving away from the bustling Guangzhou. The waiter's Mandarin on the bus had a strong Cantonese flavor, a little incomprehensible, and my father was worried about taking the station, so he told the driver in advance and asked him to remind him when he arrived at the station.

After a few hours, the driver said that it was time to arrive.

Li Xiao and his father hurriedly got out of the car.

The car stopped at an intersection, and Li Xiao and his father were at a loss, not knowing which direction to go. When I asked the people on the side of the road, the locals couldn't understand Mandarin at all, and shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Looking at the surrounding fields and sparse houses, Li Xiao felt the countryside.

Later, I met a local, the language is still unable to communicate, Mandarin can cross the country, but in Guangdong there is a sense of inaccessibility. The father showed the address to the man, who pointed to the downhill road and said, "Go ahead."

So Li Xiao and his father walked along the downhill road.

After walking for about a mile, Li Xiao saw a white house on the right, and then a large area, Li Xiao pointed to the house and said to his father, "Is it there?"

The white house is surrounded by a fence with a small ditch in front of the wall.

Walking further, a bridge and a gate appeared, and the sign said "** Scientific Research Factory". The father looked at the address on the door and then at the sign on the door.

"This is it." Father said happily.

So he took three steps and made two steps, and walked quickly to the communication room, which was an old man.

The father asked, "Is Wang Shuntian here?"

Old man: "What?"

"Wang Shuntian."

"There is no such person."

"What's the matter, is it a mistake?" Li Xiao wondered.

"No way, that's the address."

"It's okay, don't stand at the gate." The messenger urged.

At this time, the sun was strong, and he could still shade himself when he stood at the gate, and when he left the door, he could see that there was no place to enjoy the shade.

"Let's stay here for a while, when does this end of work? The people we're looking for are in there. Li Xiao's father pleaded.

"No, I can't. The manager will criticize when he sees it. The doorman refused.

Helpless, Li Xiao and his father moved to the corner and waited.

Every now and then, I walked over and looked down at the door. Try to spot familiar faces.

At this time, someone came out of it. Father hurriedly stepped forward to ask. The man said, oh, I know, he is not called Wang Shuntian now, he has changed his name, he is called Wang Qian.

"Thanks, can you please call him for me." Father hurriedly thanked.

"Yes."

After a while.

A young lad came out. Tall and thin, with slender eyes and curly hair. The clothes are tied into the pants, and the soles of the feet are windy when walking.

"Brother-in-law." He greeted his father when he saw him.

"Hello, hello. It's been a long time, and I'm getting more and more handsome. ”

"You're kidding." He laughs.

"This is Li Xiao?" He looked at Li Xiao next to his father and asked.

"Hmm."

"I heard my cousin (Li Xiao's uncle) say, let's take you in and rest first. Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the factory, so I told the manager, and she approved it. He said a little smugly.

"You're still quite capable." Father complimented.

"It's okay, there are a lot of our fellow countrymen in this factory, and I basically brought them in. You guys take a break here. I'll take you to my rented house after work in the afternoon. Outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight. ”

"Okay, you get busy first."
