Chapter 154
"Su Miao! Why are you looking up at the sky? Did a pie fall?"
Wang Xin walked to her side and looked up.
"Yeah, it fell off. It was a big one."
"Tsk! Why are you going back alone today? Where's your sister Jiayin?"
"Sister Jiayin is going to play basketball, so she asked for leave for one class in advance to go to the gym."
May Day is just a few days away. Wang Xin asked excitedly, "Where are you going for May Day? My family and Yuanyuan's family are going to the beach together. Do you want to come?"
Su Miao shook her head: "No, I'm afraid of water, and I can't swim even if I go."
"That's a shame. I'll bring you another little conch when I come back, but this time it'll be a different one."
During dinner, Su Yuanzheng asked Su Miao, "Miaomiao, the May Day holiday is almost here. Didn't your school say they'd give you three days off? Where do you want to go?"
"I do want to travel, but I don't have a specific destination yet. But what about the business in the store?"
"Don't worry about that. Ayu is here. During the holidays, meals for several units will not be delivered. They can handle it."
Su Yu is already able to make braised food. As long as the marinade package is prepared in advance, the other steps can be left to him.
Nowadays, the marinade packets are crushed and sewn into gauze bags after being prepared, and then Su Yu is told to burn them as soon as he is done with them.
Ye Han said, "My colleagues and I are going on a business trip to Guigui on May Day, and Jiayin is going with us. There are two parking spaces left. Why don't you guys go and have a look? After all, the scenery is the best in the world. But I have to stay there for a few more days, so you guys will have to take the green train back then."
Su Miao asked: "Sister Jiayin, will you come back with us?"
Ye Jiayin shook her head: "I'm with my mother. I will ask the teacher for leave tomorrow."
"You are going on business. Would it be inappropriate for us to follow you?" Su Yuanzheng asked.
"No, wherever we go, we just hang out for a couple of days, and then we start our business when the comrades there are free. Besides, the nature of our work means that we have to travel in depth and understand the local customs and habits."
Su Miao was very tempted. She really wanted to see what other places looked like in the 1980s, so she said to her father, "Dad, let's go with Aunt Ye~"
Su Yuanzheng thought for a moment, then smiled at Ye Han and said, "Thank you for your help."
Ye Han’s colleague is a very capable female comrade named Shi Hongmei. I heard that she was awarded an advanced model worker for driving a tractor in the past, and now she can drive a car with ease.
Because the journey was long, they had breakfast early on May Day and set off. After leaving the city, Shi Hongmei stepped on the accelerator.
There were not many vehicles on the road at that time, and there were no speed cameras or anything like that, so speeding was a common occurrence.
Shi Hongmei said, "Normally it takes eight hours to drive! But don't worry, I can get there in just over six!"
Everyone nodded and silently fastened their seat belts.
Ye Han sat in the passenger seat, while Su Yuanzheng, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin sat in the back row. Everyone didn't bring much luggage, so they put it in the trunk along with the camera equipment.
They were all good at talking, so the atmosphere along the way was not dull.
At this time, Guigui was already developing the tourism industry, and many roads had been built. Although they were not as advanced as the expressways that would be built a dozen years later, they were already quite smooth compared to other off-road roads.
The roadside is lined with pristine green mountains and clear waters, and the scenery of each section is different, with mountains, water, and countryside, which is poetic and picturesque, and makes the body and mind relaxed.
It doesn’t matter if there is no service station. If you want to go to the toilet on the way, just pull over, walk a little further inside, and squat down in the grass that is half a person’s height.
It doesn't matter if you're hungry. Su Yuanzheng made a lot of rice rolls and steamed dumplings and put them in boxes. He also filled a large pot of water and made a pot of soy milk from the bun shop. He pulled over to take a break, walked on the roadside lawn, and breathed in the fresh air away from the bustling city.
Occasionally, when passing by some village entrances, Shi Hongmei would always slow down a little for safety reasons. Some villagers who wanted to hitchhike would wait by the roadside and wave to passing vehicles.
Ye Han would always wave at them, indicating that there were no seats left on the bus.
They travel a lot and encounter these situations frequently. If there are no two gay men on the bus, they will not let strangers get on the bus even if there are empty seats.
After all, when you are away from home, the safety of your personal and property should be put first.
We ate, drank and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way, so we didn't feel bored. However, at noon, the two children's biological clocks struck, and their regular lunch break came.
The two little ones fell asleep leaning against each other.
When they opened their eyes again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Jiayin asked, "Aunt Shi, where are we?"
Shi Hongmei replied, "We are already in Guigui. We will be in the city in another hour."
We set off at eight in the morning and arrived at three in the afternoon. Excluding the time for convenience and rest on the way, Shi Hongmei was right. She said it would take six hours and it really did.
Guigui is now a popular tourist destination for citizens from first-tier cities in China, and it also receives many foreign tourists. Train tickets are still quite tight during holidays.
After arriving, Shi Hongmei first asked for directions to the train station, and then took Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao to buy return train tickets two days later.
There were no sleeper tickets left, so I had to take a hard seat. Fortunately, it was only a few hours, so I could get there in a short nap.
After buying the tickets, they went to the guesthouse. Without a map or anything, they had to rely on their mouths to get around. Nowadays, the residents are very simple and kind, and they are very enthusiastic to help with directions. As long as you can speak, you can basically stay there.
As soon as they parked the car in front of the guesthouse, a man wearing glasses came out and greeted them directly.
"Is that Comrade Ye and Comrade Shi? You've had a great journey!"
Ye Han smiled and said, "Hello, Director Wu, right? It's really troublesome to have you waiting here for us on a holiday."
"No trouble, no trouble. The rooms are already arranged. You said you had friends coming with you, so I booked three rooms directly. You can go up and take a look. If you are not satisfied, we can change."
So Su Miao and his father not only got a ride, but also free accommodation, and probably a free dinner soon.
The room was better than the one Su Miao had stayed in before in the center of Yongcheng City. The facilities were new and clean, and the view outside the window was also very wide.
Ye Han said politely, "Actually, the simplest room will suffice. We don't need to be so particular."
"That won't do! Only when you have good food and good food can you be motivated to work! Besides, you've come all the way here, and it would be rude of us to neglect you. Take your time to pack up, I'll meet you downstairs. I've already arranged for the restaurant to let you try our Guigui specialties!"
Otherwise, why would we send Director Wu to handle the reception? He is a professional! Everything he says and does is flawless!
