Chapter 552: The Station
After walking for almost 20 minutes, Ye Yaodong saw that his father's footsteps were getting slower and slower, and he was not as brisk as before, so he patted him on the shoulder and asked him to rest for a while.
Then, after a break of about five minutes, he got under the flat pole and picked it up himself.
At this time, Father Ye didn't rush to do it, and after walking a long way, his shoulders were also a little painful.
He just followed him and said, "If you can't do it, just say it." β
"Men can't say no."
Father Ye glared at him, and he was poor at him, but he didn't hold on to it, what kind of virtue his son had, he didn't know it for the first time.
"If you are tired for a while, put it down, replace me, take turns, so that you can rest for a while, you have already entered the city at this time, and it is estimated that you can walk for a while." When I arrived, I bought something to eat, filled my stomach, and didn't know what time I could transfer home at night. β
"Hmm."
"If you had bought a store in the county at that time, you wouldn't have to toss so much...... This has come and gone all the way, and there is no car on the way, and I don't know how many times I will come and go in the future, and this fare will have to go a lot......"
"It's too much of a toss if you take the car yourself, there are only two buses a day, not as good as one or two hours in our county, it's close and convenient, and it......'s convenient to go back and forth."
Maybe there was no burden on his shoulders, and he was a lot more relaxed, and Father Ye began to think about it again and again.
Ye Yaodong felt tired physically, hungry, and mentally tortured by his father, it was too painful.
"Don't say it anymore, there is no gold pimple to buy in the county, and ...... "After that, the traffic will be developed, there is a high-speed direct connection, and it will be there in an hour."
"And why don't you say buy town? It's more convenient, you can get to it by walking, ah yes, it's better to buy in our village, you don't have to go outside, you can walk with your eyes closed. β
"You're a man, just say a few words to you with this attitude......"
"I've already bought it, don't talk about 'if', 'if' and the like, you won't lose anything, it's already a sure thing, why do you have to turn it over twice in three days."
People who listen are annoying.
"Doesn't this feel troublesome back and forth, and I feel sorry for the travel expenses?"
"Didn't you earn it all back? I sold eighty or ninety yuan today, and I made 2/3 of the fifty or sixty, don't talk about it, there are pros and cons, it's good to make money, what's the trouble? If you are afraid of poverty, don't be afraid of trouble, save some saliva, talk all day, and die of thirst. β
Father Ye also shut up.
If it was in the past, he would have had to scold a few words, but the clichΓ© about the store is really meaningless, and there is really no need to say it.
Moreover, he had already walked to the city, and the lively scene around him almost didn't stun Father Ye's eyes, and his eyes were not enough to see, so he could not care about talking.
Before going to fish for jellyfish, the farthest he had ever been to the county seat in his life was the county seat, and he had only been there twice, he was sent by the production team at that time, and he had never visited anywhere, and he immediately returned to the village after finishing his errands.
After Ye Yaodong's ears were cleared, he also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the more people on the street, the more people on the street, the sound of selling everywhere, and the sound of bicycles coming and going, his mood also improved.
"Dad, there are tea eggs sold over there, let's buy two and eat them first, shall we? Pad the belly. β
Because he thought that there was no shortage of food around the market, he didn't let Ah Qing prepare it at night.
"Well, there are still scallion pancakes over there, buy two too?"
"Okay, I'll go, you don't speak Mandarin, look at the burden here, I'll ask by the way, how far is it from the station."
"It's fine."
Ye Yaodong quickly went back quickly, and when he heard that the station would be ten minutes away from here, they were not in a hurry, and simply stood on the side of the road and ate first.
During this period, there were still half children who shouted and sold newspapers while walking, and walked up to them and asked them if they wanted them.
Father and son are hungry now, where do they have time to talk? I almost choked on the egg yolk, and with just a shake of my head, the newspaper boy immediately left, asking about the next target.
Some of the merchants who carried the burden also shouted while walking, and they also made various inquiries to passers-by.
The father and son looked around with their eyes while eating, and when they finished eating, they wiped their bodies casually and continued to walk towards the station.
Father Ye also said happily: "This city is really lively, there are people everywhere, there are people selling things everywhere, there are bicycles everywhere, we have a few rare cars in the countryside, this road is good, clean, and the place is big." We've been walking for almost an hour, and if we all walk to the town in the countryside, then the old road belongs to the city......"
"Otherwise, how can you call the market?"
"Your mother doesn't know if she has ever had a chance to come to the city to take a look in her life, it's so lively......"
Ye Yaodong was funny to hear, and it was true.
He hadn't been to the county seat once in his last life until he was 30 years old, and it was normal for the older generation to never be able to come to the city once in their lives.
The old lady has never been here, and she has lived so old that she can even count the number of times she has been to the county seat on 5 fingers.
He smiled and said: "There must be a chance, the times are advancing, and it will definitely be convenient in the city in the future." β
"Times are changing, who knows? Maybe it's bad luck to say bad luck, not like that in those years. β
"Not anymore."
"Hopefully, it's so good now, you can do anything, you can live your own small life, you don't have to eat a big pot of rice all day long, and the money you earn is all your own, and you have hope for the future."
"Well, it's almost there, it should be just ahead."
When the father and son saw that there were people in front of them, either carrying suitcases, or carrying bedding and burdens, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Everything looks very dilapidated in this era, and the station is even more so.
The surrounding walls were mottled everywhere, with red slogans taking up an entire wall, but there was a large bulletin board on the wall near the end of the station with various announcements and job postings.
The front of the bulletin board was also full of all kinds of men and women, crowded out, one after another, and they came from far to near, and they did not see the number of people around them decrease.
"Dongzi, what's on this?"
"There are announcements, newspapers, recruitment, rentals, everything."
"Oh, that's quite complete, no wonder so many people are gathered around to watch, and I haven't seen less."
Father Ye stretched his neck and was very curious, but he didn't know how to read, otherwise he would have squeezed in to see what was written.
Ye Yaodong was not very interested in the bulletin board, and after putting down the sack, he let his father watch it.
"It's just a little bit at this time, it's still a long time before the car at half past two, you wait here for a while, lest there be too many people inside, crowded people, I'll go to the station first and buy the ticket first, and determine the time."
"Okay, you go, I'm watching here, you also hold the money on your body a little tighter, don't be stolen, there are a lot of thieves in this kind of place, and it is easy to be touched if you are not careful."
"I know, I'm careful."
He was carrying a cloth bag made by Ah Qing, which was specially used to hold money, just in case, he was carrying it closely.
first carried a cloth bag, then put on an autumn coat, then a sweater, and finally put on a cotton jacket, so he was protected layer by layer, and it was strange that it could be stolen.
And he only put 3 yuan in his pocket, which is enough for him to eat, drink and buy tickets with his father, in case he is really taken away, he will not feel distressed.
In the past, when he was selling goods at a stall, he also received his pockets first, and then took advantage of his free time to turn his back again, pick up his clothes, and put the money in a cloth bag.
Although it was only three cents, he had to work hard to keep it if it wasn't stolen, and he kept his hands in his pockets the whole time, so as not to be taken away.
Even when he was queuing, the money was tightly held in his hands, or his hands were in his pockets, and only when he bought tickets at the window, he took his hands out to buy them.
What he didn't expect was that when he finished buying the ticket, he looked down for a few seconds while walking, and then put his hand in his pocket, but his pocket was already empty.
The more than one piece he had left after buying the ticket was gone......
Obviously, it was still there when I just took out the money and counted it, put it back, took a few steps with the ticket, and the pocket was empty.
Masters in the folk!
These three hands are really amazing!
Fortunately, his cloth bag is carried close to his body, and he can feel that it is still there, this kind of place is really too chaotic.
He looked left and right, but he didn't see any suspicious characters, and there was nothing unusual about his mental or bitter faces.
Now I can only consider myself unlucky, but fortunately, there is only more than one piece left, and if it is stolen, it will be stolen.
He didn't dare to put the ticket in his pocket, and pinched it directly in his hand.
Anyway, the pocket was already empty, and he didn't need to put it in his pocket, just wrapped it around his chest, hugged his chest and continued to squeeze out of the pile.
In those days, the hospital was not as crowded as the station.
It took a few years for the hospital's popularity to catch up and overtake the station.
However, it is better to train the station during the holidays!
He trotted to the corner where his father was standing, panting and said: "I bought the ticket, it's half past two, let's go in later, just wait outside first, just go in half an hour early, it's too chaotic inside the station." I just bought a ticket, and before I had walked a few steps, the more than one piece left in my pocket to buy the ticket was gone. β
"Huh? Stolen? I just said that there are a lot of thieves here, so many people, crowded, and the thieves are very convenient, so I told you to be careful......"
"I kept my hands in my pockets, and when I bought the ticket, I took it out, and who knew that after a while, it was gone? Forget it, it's okay, it's just more than a piece, if it's gone, it's gone, I think I'm unlucky. β
"It's okay, it's just a lot of one, that ......" Father Ye looked left and right, for fear of being heard, and said in a low voice, "It's still there, right?" β
"Hmm."
"That's good."
Ye Yaodong looked left and right, but he didn't find a place to sit, there were also many people sitting on the ground or squatting around, he simply opened the sack, took out a bag from it and spread it on the ground, and sat down.
He will never stand and follow when he can sit, not to mention that he has just walked a long way with his burden, and he is quite tired.
"Sit down, Dad, rest for a while."
"Hmm."
"What smell? A little fishy? β
After Ye Yaodong sat down, the mouth of the sack was not tied, so it was just placed, and everyone passing by sniffed a few times and smelled the fishy smell.
