"My mother is worried," Li Xiao felt her mother's sadness and reluctance. But he still pretended to be heroic and left without concern. When passing by the door of his father's unit, his father's colleague saw his father and Li Xiao carrying luggage, and asked enthusiastically: "Is this sending your daughter to college?"

"Well, go to a 'social university'", my father said proudly.

"Oh, the social university is good." The colleague said a little embarrassed and left.

After 50 meters and turn left, you will enter the main street of Matsue, which is very long and lined with various shops and goods. The shops near the river are dominated by pharmacies and clinics, the middle street is dominated by department stores and cinemas, and the street near the main road is full of restaurants. This is a place that Li Xiao must pass every day when he is studying.

Out of the main street, you will enter the main road of Songjiang, known as the "Golden Avenue", this road is north-south, to the north leads to the famous lead-zinc mine, and to the south you can go to Jinning and Yancheng. Due to the disrepair of the "Golden Avenue", whenever the big truck passes, it always rolls up a piece of dust, and the passers-by can't help but sigh, "This is the 'Golden Avenue', it is clearly the 'Yellow Dust Avenue'". Due to the fact that Songjiang has many cars and factories, its economy is more active than that of Jinning, and the scale is also larger, many people are looking forward to Songjiang replacing Jinning as the county government. The large number of factories also casts a veil over the skies of this town, and during the rainy season, the sky is always gray and the smoke and dust are suffocating.

When they arrived at the main road, their father and Li Xiao put down their luggage and pulled over to wait for the car. There is still a certain distance from the station, usually take a street car to travel, this street bus is not provided by the local government, but the water bureau in order to facilitate the staff to commute, specially set up from south to north through Songjiang Town. Slowly, the shuttle bus has also become a bus for the residents of this town, the fare is 0.5 yuan, the staff of the water bureau is the unit invoice, and the residents with flexible minds can get some tickets from those employees, and they can get free buses. This is how Li Xiao's father got his ticket.

After a while, the street car came. The street car is a double-section bus, connected by a hinge in the middle, Li Xiao usually likes to stand at the junction when he takes a street car, and no one fights for it. Her father got into the car with her and stood at the junction automatically. Although there are few people at the junction, when the car turns or there is a ramp, there will always be a sense of staggering at the junction, and the most worrying thing about standing here is that the car may break in the middle and the person falls, so grab the handrails on both sides to maintain the balance of the body.

From Songjiang Street to the bus station, passing through the three units of the Water Bureau, street cars generally stop at the stop, and occasionally stop because passers-by beckon, this probability is not large, so everyone consciously waits at the stop to get on the bus.

In about half an hour, the street car arrives at the bus station.

Li Xiao looked at the luggage, and his father went to buy a ticket.

At this time, it was the time for students to return to school, and the morning tickets were sold out, and the earliest tickets were also at noon. It was more troublesome to go back to eat lunch, and there were a lot of scones baked by my mother in the bag, which I specially brought to them to eat on the road. The father took out two, and the two of them ate one by one. The temperature of the scones is just right, lukewarm, not hot and not cold.

The waiting process was boring, and there were a few times when Li Xiao was about to fall asleep. Her father reminded her that when she goes out, she should always be vigilant and not sleep casually, because if she encounters a thief, her luggage and wallet may be stolen.

"It's 12 o'clock." Someone is shouting. The father took out the ticket in his hand and checked it, convinced that it was the shift he was going to take, and reminded Li Xiao to get on the bus with his luggage.

Their seats are in the front row on the left. Li Xiao was a little motion sick, so he chose to pull over and sit down. She usually doesn't dare to eat when she rides in the car, even if she is dizzy and can't vomit when her stomach is out of stock. I ate some cakes today but not much, I hope I don't get motion sickness, Li Xiaoxiang.

I remember when I was 8 years old when I took the car back to my hometown, Li Xiao got sick and wanted to vomit, looking at the clean car floor, Li Xiao didn't dare to vomit, so while his father was asleep, he tore open his father's coat pocket and vomited it all in one go. Then he pretended to be asleep again. When my father woke up, he took something out of his pocket, but all he touched was filth, and he was so angry that he wanted to give Li Xiao a slap, but when he saw Li Xiao sleeping in Zhengxiang, he had to give up. Li Xiao saw his father's helplessness through his fingers, and snickered with a small mouth.

Every time he thinks of this, Li Xiao has to steal fun for a while.

In order to prevent himself from fainting, Li Xiao opened the window and let the wind blow.

Songjiang to Yancheng is not far, one hour if it is fast, and two hours at most if it is slow. Although Li Xiao is not as good as running as going to Jinning on this road, he also runs a lot to visit his grandmother during the New Year's holidays. Li Xiao can roughly estimate the route and direction of the car.

The car was about to enter Yancheng, and there was a section of walking by the river. Li Xiao saw that the river had risen a lot, and the water was yellow. Every year in the summer, flood control is always a top priority. I remember one summer, when the flood water overflowed the street and entered the house, they had to move upstairs to live. After the water receded, the house was covered with mud and sand, and it was washed and cleaned to dry.

Just as Li Xiao was thinking wildly, the car had already arrived at the Yancheng bus station. Next, Li Xiao and his father had to take a bus from the bus station to the train station.

At this time, it was work time, and there were not many people in the car, so Li Xiao and his father easily found a seat. When they were in Songjiang, they went from Hedong to Hexi, and now when they go to the railway station, they go from Hexi to Hedong. It feels like a reincarnation of life from the starting point back to the beginning.

When I arrived at the train station, the first thing my father did was buy a ticket. My father said that it would take 9 hours to get from Yancheng to Guangzhou, and it was best to buy a ticket for the evening and arrive in Guangzhou the next morning. You should also pay attention to yourself in the future, if you arrive at night, you may encounter danger, generally do not come back if there is nothing to do, if you do want to come back, it is best to have a companion. Father chattered again. Along the way, my father said whatever he encountered, and told her all the details of his experience of going out, hoping that she could gain more experience and accept less setbacks.

After getting the ticket, seeing that the time was still early, my father said to take you around the train station to get acquainted with it. There is a large shopping mall in front, which is resplendent and splendid, and the model in the window is bent over and sitting, wearing a dark red sweater, Li Xiao thinks it is not bad, the price is 50 yuan, it would be good if his father could buy it for himself, Li Xiao thought.

"What to buy?" A clerk came over and asked.

"Can I try this dress?" Li Xiao asked.

"If you don't buy it, you can't try it."

"Buy."

"Can you afford it?" The clerk said dismissively.

"Isn't it just 50?" Li smiled and muttered.

“50？ You see clearly. It's not 50, it's 500. The clerk reprimanded unceremoniously.

"500," Li Xiao looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he was excited and looked at a "0", Li Xiao pursed his lips and left with his father.

"Hillbilly." There was an expletive word from behind.

"You're a hillbilly." Li Xiaoxin replied unwillingly.

The father hurriedly grabbed Li Xiao and motioned for Li Xiao to stop talking and leave quickly.

When he left the mall for a long distance, his father solemnly said to Li Xiao, "Your temper needs to be changed, it is no better outside than at home, the family can tolerate you and forgive you, but the people outside will not." When the enemy is strong and we are weak, the best way to protect ourselves is to leave the source of danger as soon as possible. Don't be angry for a while, talk quickly, many times you know that others look down on you, but you still have to be a man with your tail between your legs. The reason why the grass in the cracks of the stones is strong is because they will survive in the cracks, and the same is true for people. ”

"Okay, I got it." Li Xiao said impatiently.

"You don't like to listen to anything, and if you suffer a loss one day, you will know that what I said is useful."
