Chapter 2 Waiting
Shonan is located in the northern part of G Province and is a friendly neighbor of G Province, and the lands of both sides are close together, but the geographical location of the country causes the climate of the two sides to be different.
Province G has been in a hot climate, early in the morning when I got on the bus, the fiery red sun was already spreading over the whole land, and it was sunny for many days in a row, wearing short sleeves and feeling hot.
Near noon, when the high-speed train was about to arrive at Xingcheng Station, the sky was gray, full of dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.
Looking out the window I frowned, how did I encounter such weather, I knew that I should have looked at the weather forecast before leaving, fortunately, I didn't bring any luggage, I sent the things in the rental house to the express station in advance, and I could go directly to Shonan in a few days, and I only had a backpack and a few changes of clothes.
The speed of the high-speed train is nearly three times faster than the train, and I remember that it used to take a whole night to take the train from Shonan to G Province, and every time I bought a sleeper for the night, I woke up and arrived at the station.
In recent years, the high-speed rail line from G Province to Shonan has been opened to traffic, this is the first time I have taken, the speed is absolutely top, the screen shows that the fastest speed has reached 380 kilometers per hour, and the total distance from T City to Star City is only more than 760 kilometers, I think if it is not a stop at the middle station, it should be faster, but three and a half hours to reach the destination is enough to amaze me!
I have to sigh that the country's development in recent years has been really rapid, not to mention all aspects, the speed of a high-speed rail alone is said to be the first in the world.
However, the experience of the first ride is not so good that I have to complain now, the high-speed rail ticket is expensive and only has a seat ticket, a second-class ticket price will cost more than 300 yuan, the price of the first-class seat has doubled, not to mention the better business seat has risen directly to more than 1,000, in line with the economy, I bought a second-class ticket, chose a window position, and only after getting on the train did I know that the position I sat in was a three-row seat, that is, three seats were connected together, when I sat in the position, two middle-aged uncles came up successively, Sitting next to me, I didn't pay much attention at first, but when they sat down, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out of the mouth of the uncle on my left, and I choked for a while.
The two chatted in their hometown, chatting and chatting about one of them actually took off his shoes, and suddenly I smelled a smell of stinky tofu, the high-speed rail is based on the ticket seat, there is no such thing as changing positions, and you can't stop him, this is people's freedom, and the railway bureau will not take care of these trivial matters, I spent more than three hours in this double smell attack, this is the first time I took the high-speed rail The most vivid thing I remember.
After suffering for more than three hours, I finally heard the news on the radio that the next stop was Xingcheng Station, I immediately picked up my backpack and stood in front of the exit car door, these three hours I covered my nose with my clothes all the time, and I spent my eyes looking out of the window, when I stood up to take my luggage, the two uncles were sleeping soundly, snoring endlessly, it should be that the wine was coming up, they were not aware of such a loud radio sound, before I heard the chat between them and knew that their destination was also Star City, But I didn't mean to wake them up.
I even thought of their expressions when they sat down, don't think I'm shameless, I've been tormented countless times in the past three hours and I've fantasized about kicking them out of the car, I think people who have had similar experiences should be able to understand, and now there is such an opportunity to punish them, I naturally want to take it.
When the train arrived, I hurriedly got off the train to breathe in the fresh air outside, when a gust of wind blew on me.
It turned out to be windy outside, and I didn't feel it in the car at all, and I thought it was just a small wind blowing to make the leaves sway, but I didn't expect the wind to be much stronger than I imagined.
The platform of the high-speed rail is higher than the general terrain, and the wind runs through it without obstruction, mixed with fine rain, and I feel a little cool when I just get off the high-speed rail.
On a hot day in July, the temperature in Shonan is so low, even if it rains in G Province, it is a sultry heat, and it is impossible to say that it is cool, and at the moment the temperature outside I feel colder than the high-speed train with air conditioning on.
As the crowd walked in the direction of the exit, I took a special look at the two uncles in the high-speed rail, the two of them were still asleep, the main station of the high-speed rail is northern Hubei, and it is estimated that they are going to get off there.
Ignoring them, I followed the group down the escalator to the waiting hall and then out of the high-speed rail station.
A group of people outside were looking forward to it, and there were only two kinds of people standing and waiting outside the hall, one was here to pick up people, and the other was to solicit customers.
Rejecting a bunch of "well-wishers" who came over and asked me where I was going, I walked straight to the long-distance bus ticket hall next to the high-speed rail station.
Today is the first day of the funeral, I have to go directly to Liucheng, according to the rules, relatives at home must be present on the first day, and my father also instructed me to rush over as soon as I arrived in Shonan.
The high-speed rail station is in the south of Xingcheng, and the location of Liucheng is in the north of Xingcheng, I deliberately checked the map, it will take at least three hours to get to Liucheng if you do a long-distance bus, and Pingtang Village, where the second grandfather is located, is a small village in the countryside, there is no bus to get there, I have to find a taxi to go to Liucheng, and the time is really rushed.
Go to the ticket office, ask the conductor what time the car to Liucheng departs, the conductor said that the fastest trip is half past twelve, looked at the time, now it is only eleven o'clock five minutes, which means that there is still an hour and a half time, but there is no way to buy a ticket at half past twelve.
Sitting in the waiting hall seems a little confused, to sit here stupidly wait for an hour and a half is better than simply solve the lunch, there are many restaurants in the hall of the high-speed rail station, looking for or choosing KFC, not because of how delicious these fried chicken fries, mainly because of the large place and many seats, you can sit for a long time.
There are a lot of customers in this restaurant, especially the Chinese restaurant, after all, everyone is used to eating rice, basically it is overcrowded, and there are people waiting for a seat, if I sit there and pass the time for an hour, maybe I can't stand it myself.
KFC is different, in the past, a group of classmates often went in and ordered a glass of Coke, sitting there to play cards can play for an afternoon, there are few seats in the situation that there are not enough seats, so the clerk will not have any opinions.
As a fast food, many people go in and take it away, and they don't choose to sit in the store to eat, and sure enough, I pushed the door and went in and saw that there were few people inside, but it was good, it seemed quiet and not crowded.
Ordered a single package, chose a corner position to sit down, took out the mobile phone and watched a movie for a while, the fastest way to pass the time is to watch a movie, you see that you are fascinated and unconsciously time has passed, and from time to time someone pushes the door in and orders, most of them are directly taken and left.
When the door opened, I subconsciously looked up, and then continued to watch the movie, until I pushed the door open again, and this time it was a very beautiful girl.
