They didn't have to wait long before the bus that went directly to the city center arrived. Ye Wanying and Sister Feng both boarded the bus with their sons in their arms. At that time, the bus fare was two cents per person. Tuanzi didn't need to buy a ticket, but the chubby brother was already over 1.2 meters tall and needed to buy a half-price ticket.

The ticket seller squeezed through the sea of ​​people on the bus and reached the back door, shouting repeatedly, "Tickets for sale! Tickets for sale!"

The people who just got on the bus didn't know Ye Wanying and the others; there were several other people there as well.

"How much is it for two adults and two children here?" Ye Wanying had only ridden on buses from this period, not public buses, so she didn't know the price.

"This child doesn't need a ticket, but this one needs a half-price ticket, which costs 50 cents in total," the ticket seller explained.

Ye Wanying immediately handed over a one-yuan note, but at that moment, she was stopped by Aunt Feng, who was holding a fifty-mao note in her hand.

"I'll give it to you, comrade, please accept mine."

Ye Wanying was both amused and exasperated by this, but it was only a few cents, so she didn't make a big deal out of it: "Sister-in-law, you've made us feel really bad."

Sister-in-law Feng smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm the sister-in-law, it's just what I should do."

Okay, that reason isn't really a problem.

After collecting the money from the group, the ticket seller walked towards the back, shouting in a shrill voice, "Buy tickets, buy tickets! Be honest and trustworthy when you're out and about! If you haven't bought tickets yet, hurry up!"

The bus was packed with people, practically shoulder to shoulder. The ticket seller and driver were shrewd; the bus wouldn't leave until all the tickets were sold.

Tuanzi felt like she was being squeezed into a meat patty, and whispered in Ye Wanying's ear, "Mommy, can we not ride in this car? It's so crowded!"

"If you don't take this bus, you can't go anywhere. This is the only bus that goes directly to the city center."

The little guy sighed: "Mommy, Daddy has a car, a little car. Grandpa has one too, Great-Grandpa has one too, and Uncle has one too. Let's ride in the little car."

Wow, you're already enjoying good things at such a young age!

"Silly boy, cars have their advantages, and buses have theirs too. Have you ever experienced riding a bus with so many people crammed together?"

Obviously not.

Seeing her son shaking his head in a daze, Ye Wanying couldn't help but laugh: "Well, just consider it an experience. As you grow up, you'll understand that we all go through different experiences in our lives, and they will all become indelible experiences in your growth."

Tuanzi didn't quite understand, so she ended up just leaning on Ye Wanying's shoulder.

The ticket seller finally collected the fares, and the driver finally started the car and set off again.

Fortunately, people got off along the way, but not many got on. With the bus more spacious, the little guy wasn't so unhappy anymore: "Mommy, there are seats over there."

Ye Wanying glanced to the side and saw that there were two empty seats near the door. She called out to Sister Feng, who was standing not far in front, "Sister-in-law, there are seats over there. Let's go sit down."

Sister Feng was really tired from holding her son. When she saw a seat, she almost burst into tears of joy: "Sit, sit!" If she held him any longer, her arms might break. They were numb right now.

The two mothers sat in their seats, each holding a child in their arms. "It's not far now, we'll be there in about twenty minutes," said Sister Feng.

Twenty minutes?

At this speed, it must be at least twenty miles.
