Chapter 292
Su Yu and Su Hui really did not lie to Liu Xu. Su Miao and his father were indeed not at home.
Su Miao was really too busy this summer vacation, shooting commercials, planting fruit trees and ordering equipment, and she didn't have time to have fun.
It is already mid-August and school will start soon. Su Yuanzheng feels that Su Miao will have a lot of schoolwork when she enters the third year of high school, so he wants to take her out to play now.
Wang Xin had given Miaomiao a conch before, and Su Yuanzheng thought that his daughter had never seen the sea, so this time he took her to the nearest coastal city - Zhucheng for a walk.
There is no train service to Zhucheng yet, so you can only go there by bus. Fortunately, there are buses with sleeper berths, so the journey is not that tiring.
The father and daughter set off early in the morning with their luggage. The bus station was full of passengers in a hurry and the ticket queue was very long.
As the capital, Nanning gathers passengers from all over the country. The ticket sellers sitting at the ticket windows are also experienced. They can understand accents from all over the world and serve passengers in Mandarin, Cantonese and Zhuang.
In addition, in April 1986, several units in Nanning jointly launched a campaign to use civilized and polite language at commercial service windows. Since then, the management of ticket windows has become more humane.
"Hello, comrade. I'd like to buy two sleeper tickets to Pearl City."
The conductor looked at the train schedule and said, "The next train is leaving in three minutes. Would you like to take this one or the next one in an hour?"
"Ah? Then can we still make it on time for this class?"
"Take your luggage and run to Exit 5 now. Maybe you can catch up."
"How do I buy a ticket then?"
"Let's get on the bus first. The conductor will check your tickets and you can just fill up the extra seat. There's still room, so hurry up!"
Just like that, a few words made the father and daughter run away. Fortunately, the current station is not very big, and the distance from the ticket hall to Exit 5 is only 100 meters.
By the time they arrived breathlessly, the car had already started and the attendant had closed the luggage door below and was ready to get on the car.
Turning around and seeing them, he called out, "Are we going to Zhucheng?"
Seeing them nod, he waved them in and said, "Why are you so late? If you were any later, you would have to wait another hour. Since you don't have much luggage, just take it in the car. I'm too lazy to open the door again."
Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng followed the conductor onto the bus. It wasn't a crowded bus, so the conductor assigned them two adjacent seats and said, "If you haven't bought a ticket, you can buy one later."
They were the last two passengers, and after we settled them in, we closed the door and drove away.
The air in the carriage was a bit stuffy. Su Miao opened the window and leaned back to look out. It was not until they left the bus station that the conductor began to check tickets again.
Su Yuanzheng bought the ticket and said to his daughter, "Miaomiao, the bus will take half a day. If you are sleepy, go to sleep."
"Okay, Dad."
After leaving Nanning, the road conditions were sometimes good and sometimes bad. In order to cheer ourselves up and pass the time, the flight attendant played songs on a tape recorder in front of us. The tape contained songs by many singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. They were obviously pirated.
But this did not affect everyone's appreciation. Su Miao was half lying in the shaking car, looking out the window, and fell asleep to Wang Jie's "A Game, A Dream".
Su Miao didn't know how long it had passed before he felt the car stop. The attendant shouted, "If you need to go to the bathroom, hurry up! There's no sugarcane field for a long way ahead!"
Su Yuanzheng looked at his watch. They had been driving for two and a half hours. It was time for everyone to release the water.
The passengers got off the bus and went into the sugarcane field. Su Miao and his father also got off the bus. After urinating, they stretched their muscles on the side of the road.
This was only half the distance, and they still had to drive for a long time. She became more determined to let her father learn to drive. Small cars drive fast and are flexible to park, which would be great for self-driving tours in the future.
The bus stopped for ten minutes, and the attendant asked everyone to get on the bus. He counted the number of people three times and only set off again after making sure that everyone was on the bus.
You have to count them. There are few cars on the road at this time. There is no village or shop nearby, and there is no mobile phone. It will be troublesome if you are left behind.
I just slept for so long that I can't fall asleep now. I have nothing to do but stare out the window. Some sections of the road have been paved with asphalt, while some sections are still in their original bumpy state.
Every time a car passes by, it always raises a cloud of dust that is hard to dissipate. This makes it difficult for the car behind. They can't see the road conditions in front at all. They can only turn on all the lights and signal to the oncoming lane, "I'm here!"
Every time this happens, the flight attendant will yell at the front: "Close the window!"
Even if everyone cooperated and closed all the car windows, one could still smell the earthy odor in the smoke and dust, and the phrase "dusty and exhausted" became more concrete.
Two hours later, it was already noon. The bus driver drove the bus to an open space next to two roadside shops and asked everyone to get off and rest for half an hour.
There is a large patch of grass next to and behind the shop. I wonder how many tourists it needs to nourish it every day for it to grow so lush.
The two small shops were connected by a wooden structure, with crooked words written on the signs: Inflating tires, Tire repair, Hot water, Zongzi, Meat buns.
It is not easy to find a store on the road now, so most people will prepare dry food and water bottles before going out, and only buy food when they have no choice.
For no other reason than it's too expensive.
Su Yuanzheng took out two packs of instant noodles and a lunch box from his luggage bag and bought hot water from the store.
The hot water needed to make two packets of instant noodles cost 40 cents, which is enough to buy a bowl of self-service porridge at Su Ji.
The father and daughter sat on the small stools prepared by the store, slurping down their instant noodles, making the people next to them extremely greedy. There was nothing they could do, the aroma of the braised beef was just too overbearing!!!
Originally, everyone was still able to swallow their saliva silently and endure it, chewing on the dry buns they brought with them, but the moment they took out the ham sausage, they couldn't bear it anymore and got up to ask the store owner to buy meat buns to satisfy their cravings.
The shop owner was grinning from ear to ear. Usually it would take him half a day to sell out a tray of meat buns, but now they were sold out in an instant.
It seems that he will also have to make some instant noodles in the future, and when a bus stops, he will make a packet. Hehehe! Business is bound to be booming.
In return, the store owner gave two meat buns to the Su family father and daughter who were concentrating on eating noodles and had no idea what was going on.
The father and daughter, who had already finished all the instant noodles and soup, were holding the buns in a daze, unable to eat any more.
"Miao Miao, why don't you take it to the car and eat it later when you're hungry?"
"The smell is too strong to eat in the car. Will I throw up from all the swaying around? And we'll be there in two hours. I want seafood porridge instead of buns."
