Chapter 103: Encounter
"Mom and Dad, it's noon now, I think we'd better find a place to eat first." Zhang Minzhen listened to the conversation of her parents and felt a little sad when she heard how they were worried about themselves.
"The food outside must be expensive, I brought steamed buns, corn, water and eggs out in the morning to see where it is suitable, and we will find a place to sit down and eat." Wen Xiu patted the bamboo basket she was carrying in her hand and smiled.
"Okay." Zhang Minzhen nodded. She knew that her parents were thrifty, and now that she was divorced, she did have some money, but she also knew that her parents still wouldn't want her to waste money casually under the current situation, so she nodded very meekly.
But when the three of them really got out of the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were a little dumbfounded after they looked on the street-
The city is much bigger than the town, and when they came, they followed Gu Lihui, and they didn't care about looking around with things in their hearts. The three of them stood on the road without knowing the road, and suddenly felt at a loss.
Zhang Dazhuang and Zhang Minzhen are better, although the two of them are secretly complaining in their hearts, they can still control themselves not to be too flustered, recalling the situation when they came, and their eyes invariably looked at the bus stop sign that they got off just now.
Compared with the "composure" of the father and daughter, Wen Xiu's performance is much worse, and the expression on her face can be described as panicked. Don't blame her, she and Zhang Dazhuang have only been to the town for the farthest in their lives, how have they seen the prosperity in front of them? She watched the cars come and go, and in addition to the bicycles they were familiar with, there were the tall, long buses on the road......
The three of them had just been taken by Gu Lihui to sit on the bus, so she was not a stranger, but she was a little frightened when she looked at the short car and the amazing two-wheeled motorcycle that was equally fast, and she didn't dare to raise her feet, and muttered secretly in her heart: What kind of car is this, why is it driving so fast, what should I do if I hit it?
Thinking about it, Wen Xiu suddenly became nervous, and her voice trembled when she opened her mouth: "You say, why did we forget to ask a few more words just now, or pay more attention to how we walked on the road?" Well, if we can't find the station, how do we go back? ”
"What are you afraid of, those who have feet and mouths, and the big living people are still afraid of getting lost?" Seeing his wife's flustered appearance, Da Zhuang suddenly felt that the head of the family could no longer mess up, so he quickly calmed down, not only to appease Wen Xiu, but also to appease Zhang Minzhen by the way, "It is said that the road is in the mouth, no matter where you go, as long as you are willing to open your mouth, there is no way out that you can't ask." ”
Seeing Zhang Dazhuang's confident appearance, Wen Xiu suddenly relaxed and smiled, "Why do you think I'm not afraid at all when you say this?" ”
"With me, you don't have to be afraid. I can't even be trapped by a person in the mountains who asks for directions, and there are as many people in this place as cow hair, what do you say are you worried about? Zhang Dazhuang's words are also to cheer himself up.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll follow you." Wen Xiu smiled suddenly and turned her head to her daughter and said, "You say, how did I forget your father's ability to recognize the way, and no one dares to recognize the first in our family?" ”
"It's like, with my dad here, let's just go along. If it doesn't work anymore, won't there be a bus? I remember we were in a car just now. Zhang Minzhen also laughed, she used to hear Gu Lihui say that the buses in the city are very convenient, as long as you can read the stop signs, you won't get lost wherever you go.
"What car? Waste. In fact, it was just a little bit of the road, and just now the three of us were charged a dime each. Zhang Dazhuang glanced at the place where he got off the bus, shook his head and rejected his daughter's proposal to take the bus.
"Then let's go by ourselves, the car is too fast, I didn't even see what the road looks like just now, and now I just take a closer look at what the city is like, and I will go back and talk to them that it is not in vain." Wen Xiu rushed to echo her wife before her daughter, she also felt that the ticket was expensive, and she was a little distressed.
Zhang Minzhen couldn't screw her parents alone, so she had to nod helplessly. She looked at Zhang Dazhuang, only to see him look carefully left and right, and finally pointed in a very certain direction, "Go over there." ”
It was very hot, although all three of them wore straw hats, there was shade along the way, and the wind blew from time to time. But after all, it's already summer, and everyone is sweating after walking for a long time. And the most frustrating thing is that they saw a lot of shops along the way, but most of them sold clothes and food, and there were no places selling bicycles at all. asked a few passers-by in a row, all of them shook their heads and said they didn't know, and the last one was the most exaggerated, and when he saw them approaching, he actually covered his nose with his hand, and before they could speak, he shook his head and ran.
"I used to hear that people in the city looked down on the countrymen, but I didn't believe it, but now I really see it." After walking for a long time, I didn't see a place to sit, and my stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so the three of them simply found a place where there were not many people and stood on the side of the road to eat, took off the straw hat and fanned the wind with the hat in one hand while holding the food in the hand, Wen Xiu smiled bitterly.
"Where are people like that? Aren't all the ones we asked before all good, but only the last girl is like that? Zhang Dazhuang bit the steamed bun in his hand and drank a sip of water, "The little girl's family is also squeamish." ”
"You're just willing to think of the good of everybody." Wen Xiu shook his head and sighed, then frowned and worried, "Why do so many people don't know, is it because there are no bicycles sold around here?" You say that if we continue to walk like this, what if we don't catch the car back in the afternoon? ”
As soon as Wen Xiu's words fell, a strange man passing by suddenly asked her, "Are you looking for a bicycle shop?" ”
"yes, I'm worried about this, and I haven't seen it all the way." Wen Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the man with a shock of spirit, only to see that the person who came looked to be in his thirties, tall, and very energetic. There is a general smell of perseverance on the face, but the smile it carries makes people look like a spring breeze.
At first glance, Wen Xiu felt a good impression of the person in front of him: "Young man, do you know the place? Can you tell us no? ”
"Old man, it's a few streets from here, but it's not too far. You just have to go straight along this road, then turn left at the second intersection, then go straight again, and turn right at the third intersection......" The man didn't refuse, he would take the initiative to say that he wanted to tell them the way.
After he finished speaking, he saw that the three people in front of him were still a little foggy, obviously they were not familiar with the city and did not fully understand, so he slowed down and said again. Seeing that the effect still didn't seem to be good, he began to doubt his ability to tell, and finally thought that he had nothing to do at this time anyway, so he simply did good things to the end, and said to the three of them with a smile: "It just so happens that I will follow you for a while, if you can trust me, I will follow me directly." ”
