Chapter 9 Shopping
The next morning, after breakfast, the two sat down at a small shop near the station and ate watermelon, waiting for the bus to pass by at 10 a.m.
Grandma also gave Zhang Han the suitcase for traveling, and along the way, Zhang Han couldn't put down the labels full of handwritten creeds.
"Isn't it just a few broken labels? If you don't eat this sweet watermelon, why do you study the faded handwriting? ”
Su Mu took a big bite on the watermelon, glanced at Zhang Han and said.
"You don't understand, this kind of handwritten travel mark with a sense of age is the most valuable, for example, when you go to a place and put a handwritten label on your suitcase that represents time, how meaningful it should be."
After Zhang Han finished speaking, he did not forget to be self-absorbed, his eyes lit up, and he fell into infinite reverie.
"Hey, the car is coming, get ready to get in the car."
Su Mu used ice cream in advance, and the children who watched the wind trotted to send the news that the bus was about to enter the station.
"I suffered it, I ate too much watermelon, and my stomach hurt a little."
Su Mu suddenly felt that there was a force in his body that was turning over the river and the sea, ready to explode at any time.
"No, you go to the top first, and when you get to the car, you will say that there is a passenger with a stomachache, and he will come in five minutes."
Zhang Han watched Su Mu run to the toilet in embarrassment with his stomach covered, and smiled from ear to ear:
"Haha, you deserve to have a stomach upset and eat two big watermelons."
But jokes are jokes, Zhang Han still dragged the luggage of the two to the side of the road, ready to get in the car at any time.
"Tutu tutu", the bus, as usual, will honk its horn every time it arrives at a temporary platform to notify the passengers waiting for the bus in advance.
Zhang Han looked back and saw that Su Mu got into the car alone before he came out of the toilet, and after arranging the luggage, he told the driver that there was still one person with a stomach upset and would come immediately.
For this reason, regardless of whether the driver walked away or not, he ran out of the car desperately, guarding the door of the toilet and constantly urging Su Mu to solve it quickly.
Su Mu was fighting fiercely in the toilet holding on to the door panel, and when he heard Zhang Han's shouting outside, his heart instantly became like ashes, and his mind kept echoing:
"Again? Something will happen at every critical moment, and every time it will make people laugh off their big teeth. Su Mu, Su Mu, can you be handsome once, give yourself a long face, and don't feel uncomfortable being a joke every day? ”
Maybe it was the emotion, the power accumulated in the body finally reached the extreme, and after a sparse commotion, Su Mu had never felt so happy, as if he had regained his life.
After wiping away the filth and washing his hands, Su Mu walked out with a relieved face and met Zhang Han, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Why don't you just go to the bathroom? As for this face of resurrection? ”
When Zhang Han saw Su Mu's appearance, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Don't care, people like you who don't eat melons won't understand."
Although Su Mu felt embarrassed, he still scolded back out of his mouth.
"Still can't go? The Su family boy. ”
The conductor's loud voice reached the ears of the two from afar.
"Coming, coming, waiting for us."
Su Mu had never felt so light, and he trotted all the way to the front of the car, but he was not in a hurry to get into the car, but waited for the slightly slower Zhang Han to enter the car first before getting into the car with peace of mind.
After some twists and turns, the two finally got on the bus, or chose the old place to sit in the last row by the window, Su Mu put the suitcase in the designated position and leaned against the window to breathe a long sigh of relief, Zhang Han, who was sitting next to him, asked suspiciously:
"Where are we going? I don't have any money, you have to take care of me. ”
"Don't worry, I've thought about it since I picked you up and got off the bus, as for where to go? I really don't know, but I'll have to find a place to settle down and then slowly look for a job. ”
Su Mu also began to be confused, after all, it is much more difficult to find a job in Nanchang, a second-tier city, than in Hangzhou, not to mention that he is even less competitive in the resume line with only a college degree.
"Let's go to Honggutan, it's okay to look at the night view at night, and find a place with a lot of people to get lucky."
Su Mu recalled the time when he was taken to school in the city by his parents in his childhood, and he looked at the bustling lights on the other side from a distance across the Chaoyang River Beach, and there was an inexplicable impulse and yearning on the young man's face.
But until the moment when he was kicked out of the house by his parents, he didn't take the time to go to the other side to experience the so-called urban prosperity.
Zhang Han seemed to see the sadness in Su Mu's eyes, and gently patted him on the shoulder and said:
"It's okay, just travel and relax."
As the speed of the car gradually stabilized, the two also leaned on each other's shoulders and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept like this, until the conductor gently woke them up:
"Hey, Su boy, it's time to the terminal."
Su Mu was suddenly frightened, and hit Zhang Han's forehead hard, and the two of them touched their heads and shouted pain.
"Where's it? Qingshan South Road? ”
Su Mu asked with a yawn.
"Of course it's here, you also know that the route of this bus hasn't changed for more than ten years."
The conductor replied as he helped Su Mu take his luggage down.
In this way, the two began this strange and familiar journey with two suitcases.
"Take the subway to Honggutan first? There are more delicious foods there, and when you have a full stomach, you can find a place to live. ”
Su Mu pushed the suitcase and said, and Zhang Han also followed him firmly and slowly entered the subway station.
Just like the scene in the Japanese drama comics, after Su Mu bought the ticket, the two sat in the crowded carriage, sitting in the seat and shyly not daring to look at the object, until the prompt sound on the subway:
"Weidong Station has arrived, please leave the passengers who get off the train in an orderly manner."
"When I arrive, I will go to Wanda King Street first and take you to eat good food."
Su Mu and the others dispersed slightly, pushing a suitcase with each hand, not wanting Zhang Han to be affected when he left the station.
After Su Mu passed through the elevators, the two came to a huge exit with a crane machine.
"It's finally out!"
Su Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then left his luggage in the milk tea shop opened by his classmates, so the two of them also unexpectedly got two cups of free fruit tea.
The two of them are like ordinary couples, talking and laughing all the way past various food stalls, Zhang Han seems to be particularly interested in everything around him, and Su Mu is also very patient to explain to him.
After eating five or six snacks, the two came to a remote alley with a full burp, and a little brother with grilled squid and sliced meat in the distance hummed a little song to attract tourists, and Zhang Han, who had no experience in the world, was quickly attracted to it.
"Little brother, the tune you hum is very good, and the grilled squid is talented."
"What? Want to take care of me? Your boyfriend doesn't seem to be willing. ”
The squid brother said with a disdainful expression while looking at the jealous Su Mu while grilling the squid.
"Bondage? Won't you just hum a tune to deceive the little girl? I was in KTV back then..., forget it, I don't seem to have any skills except for grabbing the wheat and yelling. ”
Although Su Mu was unconvinced, he still politely explained:
"We are just ordinary friends, she is out of town and just came here for a few days."
"Is this delicious? I want to eat a few skewers. ”
Zhang Han's eyes lit up when he looked at the squid on the iron plate, and Su Mu could only helplessly open his mobile phone and scan the collection code next to him.
"Thirty dollars has arrived!"
With the sound of payment, Su Mugang wanted to point to the squid when he was packing and was dragged by Brother Squid with a face and said:
"These are all ordered, and we have to eat them all over again."
"You're going to have trouble with me, right, okay, I'll wait, I'll see when you can ink?"
Su Mu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and said angrily at the squid man.
"How can such a beautiful girl fall in love with such an ugly man as you, it's a pity. I don't think I'm going to cheat on the Internet for dating. ”
The squid man intensified his challenge to Sumu's bottom line.
"Personal attacks? Am I ugly? You don't look in the mirror either, except for the hairstyle that looks good, something worth bragging about. ”
Su Mu touched the green hat on his head, and felt that there was not much hair left, and the confidence to speak behind him was getting smaller and smaller.
"It's okay, I just like ugly."
Zhang Han leaned over at this time and said, instantly making Su Mu's image collapse.
At this time, Su Mu stared at the squid on the iron plate and just wanted to pack up and leave as soon as possible, but who expected a voice in the distance, "The chengguan is coming, run." ”
Instantly alarmed all the vendors in the nearby stalls, hurriedly put away the snack cart and fled quickly, and when Su Mu turned around, the squid man had already run dozens of meters away.
"Alas, I paid for it, and the squid was given to me."
As soon as Su Mu caught up a few steps, the squid man sped up his pace and ran away, and there was an echo:
"There is a city management in this place and it will not come again, thank you, see you again for thirty yuan."
", profiteer! Forget if the thirty yuan is gone, it's still a stomach. ”
At this time, Su Mu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his mood for playing was all disturbed.
Until the evening, the two came across a stage to be performed, which read:
"Burning Heart Apartment, shared by couples, rent halved, water and electricity free.".
"Why is this plot so familiar? Is there such a good bargain in the world? Is the landlord having a brain watt? ”
In the mood to give it a try, the two found a seat and waited quietly for the upcoming show and rental benefits.
