Chapter 36: Accompany your mother to buy a plane ticket
In the blink of an eye, it was already halfway through October, and the day when Mom and Dad agreed to go north was getting closer and closer.
This Friday, after Tang Yuyan came home from school.
Mom said to Tang Yuyan: "Yuyan, you put down your schoolbag and accompany your mother to buy a plane ticket!" ”
"Now?" Tang Yuyan asked rhetorically.
"yes, go now." Mom said as she put on her coat.
"Okay" Tang Yuyan finished speaking, took off her schoolbag and put it on the sofa by the door.
After her mother changed her shoes, she took the door key and took Tang Yuyan out.
On the way, my mother said to Tang Yuyan: "Isn't it about to be the end of the month, my mother thinks that you and your grandmother will get along happily during this time, so I plan to go to your father's place and accompany your father." ”
"Well, we will be obedient" Tang Yuyan held her mother's hand and said obediently.
"Well, Mom believes in you." Mom patted Tang Yuyan's hand holding her arm with her other free hand and said.
"Mom, when are you going to buy your ticket?" Tang Yuyan raised her head and asked suspiciously.
"Let's go check it out first, and if you have a Saturday ticket, you can buy a Saturday ticket." Mom returned
"This Saturday?" Tang Yuyan asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's next Saturday, how can I leave so quickly, not to mention that I haven't packed my luggage yet." Mom rubbed Tang Yuyan's head as she spoke.
"Yu Yan, seeing that you are studying every day, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?" Mom asked suspiciously.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I think that if I get good grades, I will have more opportunities to choose from in the future." Tang Yuyan thought for a while and replied.
"Well, yes, then you should study hard, and don't be in a hurry about what to do in the future, take your time." Mom said.
"yes, I see." Tang Yuyan really doesn't know what she should do in the future, but now that she is still young, she has time, and it will be too late to talk about it when she thinks of it.
"Mom, when will you come back after you go to Dad's place this time?" Compared with her future career, Tang Yuyan is currently most concerned about her mother and when her father will be able to come back together.
Since Tang Yuyan traveled back to about ten years ago, so far, she has only seen her ten-year-old mother, and she has not seen her ten-year-old father.
"I'll be back before the New Year, so it's only been about two months!" Mom flipped through the calendar on her phone and said.
"Oh, I will take good care of Yu Ran and Yu Chen at home, and I will also urge them to study hard, and then we will wait for you and Dad to come back and reunite." Tang Yuyan suddenly stopped, looked up and said to her mother.
After hearing her daughter say this, her eyes were slightly red, she looked up at the sky, adjusted her tone, and replied, "Okay, you guys are obediently waiting for me and your father at home." ”
"Where did Mom buy tickets?" Tang Yuyan said, stretched out her finger and pointed to a shop not far ahead, the billboard in front of the store read: Selling train tickets, plane tickets, bus tickets, etc.
"yes, that's it." Mom looked at the store where Tang Yuyan pointed and nodded.
After arriving at the door, my mother first looked at the billboard, and then took Tang Yuyan's hand and walked to the bar of the small shop.
"Hello, I see that there is a ticket for sale written in front of the shop, please help me check the plane to C city in J province next Saturday morning to see if there are any tickets." Mom stood at the counter and asked the conductor.
"Wait a minute, I'll check it out for you." After the conductor answered, he checked it through the computer ticketing system.
After a while, the conductor looked up and said to his mother: "There are still tickets, they are all economy class, but there are only six and nine and a half past tickets left, do you want to buy tickets for that time period?" ”
"Don't have time to order a ticket later?" Mom asked.
"The rest are afternoon tickets, and when you get to City C, it's night." The conductor glanced down at the ticketing system and then replied.
"Then it's better to buy a morning ticket, how do you sell this ticket!" Mom asked.
"A ticket at six o'clock in the morning is 960 a ticket, and a ticket at half past nine is more expensive, 1680 a ticket." The salesperson explained the ticket price first.
After the conductor finished talking about the fare, he continued: "Passengers who buy tickets from us, we will have a driver to drive them from home to the airport, and the driver will pick you up in advance if you leave an address." ”
"Okay, buy me a ticket for 6 a.m., can you check in here?" Mom thought about it and decided to buy a ticket for six.
"Yes, give me your ID card." The conductor looked at her mother and said.
Mom took out her ID card from her satchel and handed it to the conductor, then said, "It's troublesome to choose a place for me to be in front of me, close to the aisle." ”
The conductor followed his mother's instructions and chose a place to lean forward against the aisle.
After the conductor successfully printed the ticket, my mother also received a text message from the airline.
Then my mother took out 1,000 yuan from her wallet and handed it to the conductor, and after the conductor checked the money and made change, the conductor handed the ticket, the driver's phone number, and a special card to my mother.
The conductor said to his mother: "This card must not be lost, when the time comes, you give the card to the driver, which is equivalent to the ticket money, if you lose it, you have to spend 90 yuan to make up the ticket." ”
After listening to the conductor, my mother put the ticket into the satchel along with the driver's phone number and card, and after zipping the satchel, my mother asked Tang Yuyan to say goodbye to the conductor with her.
Tang Yuyan obediently waved at the conductor, and after saying "goodbye", her mother took Tang Yuyan's hand again and walked back.
When passing by the vegetable market, her mother asked Tang Yuyan if she had any snacks or fruits she wanted to eat.
Tang Yuyan thought about it, and after saying a few kinds of fruits, her mother took Tang Yuyan to buy some fruits.
In the end, the mother and daughter returned home with a bag of all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
After arriving at the door of the house, the people in the house may have heard the voices of Tang Yuyan's mother and daughter, so they opened the door early.
It was He Lin who came to open the door, and after He Lin saw the snacks and fruits in the hands of her mother and Tang Yuyan, she hurriedly ran out and took the fruit snacks in the hands of Tang Yuyan and her mother.
Subsequently, He Lin said, "Auntie, why do you buy so many snacks and fruits, I see that there are still a lot of snacks at home." ”
"When I came back, if I saw that the fruits were quite fresh in the vegetable market, I bought some and put them at home to eat slowly." After He Lin took the bag in her hand, her mother rubbed her hands and said.
"Then you guys are buying too much." After going home and closing the door, He Lin put the big pocket in his hand on the coffee table, and her grandmother said after seeing it.
"We have a lot of family, we can finish eating, don't worry," my mother returned cordially.
Then, after her mother and Tang Yuyan changed their slippers at the entrance, her mother went to the bedroom with her satchel, and after Tang Yuyan said hello to He Lin, she also took the schoolbag that was placed on the sofa before going out and went to the study.
After putting away the satchel, Mom changed into loungewear and returned to the living room.
After arriving in the living room, my mother was peeling fruit and chatting with He Lin about work.
He Lin doesn't like to read much, so she came out to work early.
Soon after He Lin moved to Tang Yuyan's house with her grandmother, she found a job as an apprentice in a barbershop, and although the salary was low, she was able to learn skills.
After a brief chat with He Lin in the living room, her mother took the peeled fruit to the kitchen, then cut it into small pieces, put it in a fruit bowl and handed it to her grandmother.
After Grandma took the fruit bowl, Mom cleaned it up. Went to prepare dinner. He Lin was commanded by her grandmother, and she was also busy with dinner with her mother.
After dinner, Tang Yuyan still took Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen back to the study to study.
Since He Lin came to the house, in most cases, it was her mother who cooked, and He Lin worked hard to wash the dishes.
After so many days, my mother and He Lin seem to have formed a tacit understanding.
Tang Yuyan, who returned to the study, saw that Yu Ran and Yu Chen were almost lying on their stomachs doing their homework, so she said: "In the future, we will all stand against the wall for fifteen minutes after eating." This helps digestion and can also grow a goler. ”
Tang Yuyan doesn't know if she doesn't grow tall, but it definitely helps with digestion.
The two sisters and brothers listened to Tang Yuyan's words, and they agreed to Tang Yuyan's proposal.
It's better to act than to be excited, Tang Yuyan directly set a fifteen-minute alarm clock, and then the three sisters and brothers stood in a row against the wall.
Because my mother was watching TV and chatting with my grandmother and He Lin in the living room at this time, I didn't pay attention to what Tang Yuyan and the others were doing in the study.
If my mother goes to the study now, she will definitely ask Tang Yuyan what is wrong, why are you standing against the wall!
Of course, Mom didn't notice this time, but there will always be a chance to pay attention.
The day before my mother went to City C, my mother finally found out about this problem, and then asked Tang Yuyan, who came up with this idea, suspiciously, why she suddenly stood against the wall after eating.
Tang Yuyan said to her mother in front of Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen: "Standing against the wall for 15 minutes after eating will help digestion." ”
Later, Tang Yuyan carried Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen on her back and said to her mother: "Yuran and Yuchen like to lie on their stomachs when they read books and answer questions, and they only stand against the wall in order to prevent them from hunchbacking, but it helps digestion is true." ”
Mom thought that she thought that a few children were bored so she stood against the wall to play, but after listening to Tang Yuyan's explanation, she didn't care about it.
