Chapter 57: Preparations for Departure
The next morning, Xiao Jian opened his eyes and woke up, looked at the time, and it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning. He suddenly remembered that he still had important things to do, so he quickly packed up and left with his wallet.
Before leaving the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, Xiao Jian inquired about the situation with the front desk attendant, and was told that there was only one civil aviation ticket sales agency in Jiangzhou City, and it was still a little far from the guest house.
Xiao Jian hurriedly took a taxi to the civil aviation ticket sales office, and after entering, there was only a female staff member in her 40s, sitting in front of the computer, slowly tinkering with the keyboard with one finger. There were more than a dozen people in the room waiting in line to buy tickets.
Xiao Jian had to wait at the back of the line, but the female conductor was too slow to enter, and Xiao Jian waited for a long time before it was his turn. Xiao Jian said a little anxiously: "I want to buy two tickets from Jiangzhou to Yanjing on Monday afternoon." β
The conductor said, "Don't tell me about Monday, tell me the specific date, which day do you want it?" β
Xiao Jian flipped through his phone and said, "On the afternoon of August 30th."
The female conductor smashed the keyboard for a long time with a single finger magic skill, and after checking in the system, she said: "There are only three tickets left in the economy class from Jiangzhou to Yanjing, and the ticket plus the infrastructure cost and fuel cost is a total of 1,500 yuan, do you want it?" β
"So expensive?" Xiao Jian couldn't help but ask.
"There is only one flight a day, and if you don't buy it, there will be no more, and business class and business class are more expensive, do you want it?" The female conductor said impatiently.
Seeing that Xiao Jian was hesitating, the female conductor shouted directly to the ticket buying team: "Next..."
When a person behind Xiao Jian heard it, he wanted to squeeze up, Xiao Jian hurriedly took out three thousand yuan and handed it to the female conductor: "Give me two."
The female conductor took the money, put it on the money detector twice, and asked, "ID number?" β
Xiao Jian gave her her ID card, and the female conductor entered the number into the computer and asked, "What about the other one?" β
Xiao Jian remembered that Zheng Xuan didn't tell him his ID number, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'll ask right away." β
The female conductor gave him a blank look: "Hurry up, the people in the back are still waiting."
Xiao Jian hurriedly called Zheng Xuan, found a scrap newspaper from the table, borrowed a signature pen, wrote down Zheng Xuan's ID number, and gave it to the female conductor.
After the female conductor entered, she printed out two tickets and gave them to Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian couldn't help but sigh while holding two green pieces of paper, more than 3,000 yuan was gone all of a sudden. Recalling the words and deeds of the female conductor, Xiao Jian thought to himself, such a poor attitude and such a low efficiency person can still work in it in a grand manner, maybe this ticket office is a public institution under the Jiangzhou Civil Aviation Bureau, and the woman is estimated to have staff.
Xiao Jian sent a message to Zheng Xuan, telling him that the ticket had been bought. Zheng Xuan quickly replied: "Thank you, brother", and an emoji sticking out his tongue and winking at the end of the text message was attached. Xiao Jian asked him when he would come, and Zheng Xuan texted back that he took a long-distance bus from Nanping City at noon on Monday and rushed directly to Jiangzhou Airport.
Xiao Jian shook his head, Zheng Xuan really sat back and enjoyed his success and gained something for nothing.
After buying the ticket, it was already noon, Xiao Jian hadn't eaten breakfast, and now he felt his stomach start to growl. Xiao Jian casually found a restaurant outside to solve lunch, and was about to go back to the guest house, when the mobile phone rang, he picked it up and saw that it was Tang Wei calling.
"Hey, Tang Beauty, why are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Jian, when are you going to report to Yanjing? Where do you fly? Tang Wei asked on the phone.
"Oh, I'll go with Zheng Xuan on Monday afternoon, and we'll fly directly from Jiangzhou to Yanjing."
"Okay, then are you in Jiangzhou today?" Tang Wei seemed very happy to hear Xiao Jian's answer.
"Huh? What's wrong? Xiao Jian asked puzzled.
"You can't deny inviting me to dinner today," Tang Wei said with a smile.
It turns out that this is the case, Xiao Jian understands what is going on, Tang Wei has helped him twice before, and he still owes Tang Wei two meals, this kind of personal debt must be repaid, otherwise the time will drag on for more and more, and the psychological burden will become heavier and heavier.
"Okay, no problem, what do you want to eat?"
Tang Wei actually just said it casually, but she didn't expect Xiao Jian to agree so readily this time, she still couldn't react: "Oh, I want to think about it, I haven't thought about it yet, so let's do it, at half past four in the afternoon, you are waiting for me at the gate of Jingshan Park, so it's decided," After speaking, Tang Wei hung up the phone.
Xiao Jian felt inexplicable, but he still came to the foot of Jingshan Park at 4:20 p.m. according to the time and place Tang Wei said.
At half past four o'clock, Tang Wei hadn't come yet, Xiao Jian waited for a few more minutes, girls can be forgiven for being late, but men can't be late. Xiao Jian was a little anxious, and he took out his mobile phone from time to time to take a look.
At this time, a girl wearing a large sunhat and brown sunglasses, and an ivory white dress walked up to Xiao Jianli and said, "Hello! β
Xiao Jian looked up, this voice was very familiar, he didn't recognize it at first sight, isn't this Tang Wei? Only then did he react and said, "Tang Wei? β
Tang Wei took off her sunglasses and said with a smile: "Didn't you recognize it at first?" β
Xiao Jian noticed that Tang Wei seemed to be dressed up carefully today, and she broke a small bag, her eyes were rolling and she was smiling.
"Let's go, take me for a walk in the park," Tang Wei said, and the two walked into Jingshan Park side by side.
While talking, the two unknowingly came to a playground in the park. Tang Wei leaned on the railing outside and said: "I used to want to play with these facilities the most, but my father was always worried about me, so I only played a few times, and I still want to play a little bit." β
Xiao Jian looked at Tang Wei's longing eyes and said, "Do you want to play?" Then let's go in and play together."
Tang Wei was very happy, she took Xiao Jian's arm and walked in.
The two of them went to ride the merry-go-round first, and then went to drive bumper cars for a while, and they had a lot of fun.
"Xiao Jian, come and sit here," Tang Wei pulled Xiao Jian over and came to the pirate ship.
Xiao Jian waved his hand again and again: "I don't dare to sit on this, I have a fear of heights."
"It's okay, you're holding me," Tang Wei said.
Xiao Jian had no choice but to sit up, the pirate ship started, began to rise slowly, and when it reached the highest point, it began to fall, the speed became faster and faster, Xiao Jian only felt that his heart was about to jump out, and when he reached the lowest point, he began to rise to another high point, and the feeling of weightlessness made him feel that he was about to fly out.
Tang Wei screamed excitedly next to him, Xiao Jian didn't dare to open his eyes later, and grabbed Tang Wei's hand tightly.
"Xiao Jianββ, just shout out loud," Tang Wei said loudly.
"Really?" Xiao Jian asked loudly. Tang Wei smiled and nodded.
"Ahββ,h
The pirate ship finally stopped, the two walked out, Tang Wei looked at Xiao Jian and said, "You don't seem to be afraid."
Xiao Jian was like a person who had just been rescued from drowning, he slowly let out a sigh and said, "You're right, just shout out when you're afraid." β
Tang Wei looked at Xiao Jian's expression, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh and said, "You big man is actually afraid of heights." Xiao Jian pointed at Tang Wei and smiled: "Your hair is ......." Tang Wei touched her hair at this time, she was already messy in the wind, and she couldn't help laughing.
