Time passed little by little.
Yu Jun drove his minivan and took the old man to the mountainside, which is the highest point for buses or cable cars.
Tourists arriving by public transport usually get off here and then hike up the mountain while sightseeing, slowly making their way to the summit.
Yu Jun frowned as he looked out the window at the seven or eight buses parked there and the tightly locked iron gate.
"What's going on?" he wondered.
He hadn't climbed a mountain in a long time.
In his memory, this small hill was always easily accessible by car.
He didn't know either.
When was this big iron gate built here?
Yu Jun looked around and found the guard booth empty; they had probably gone to the toilet.
then.
He rolled down the car window, stuck his head out, and waved to a volunteer wearing a red vest.
Hey! Handsome guy!
Upon seeing this, the young volunteer jogged over to Yu Jun.
Hello, how can I help you?
Yu Jun pointed to the door in front of him. "Could you please open this door for me?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid that won't work." The volunteer looked troubled; wasn't this clearly setting a difficult problem for him?
Yu Jun scratched his head, looking utterly dejected.
"Please, handsome, can you make an exception for me?" he pleaded with the young volunteer.
It's better to avoid trouble.
The young volunteer didn't want to get into trouble.
"It's really not possible. In order to improve the hiking experience for tourists, this is already the highest point that tourists can reach by transportation. The rest of the way, they have to walk on their own."
"Tourists?"
Yu Jun was stunned for a moment: "I'm not a tourist. I'm delivering watermelons to my son. He sells boxed lunches at a stall on this mountain."
The old man chimed in, "That's right, my grandson sells boxed lunches on the mountaintop!"
He looked at the volunteer and pleaded:
"Young man, please let us in! I'm too old to walk anymore. We still have 200 pounds of watermelon in our car. Is it realistic for us to walk up the mountain?"
“That’s right!” Yu Jun said. “Rules are rigid, but people are flexible.”
"this......"
The young volunteer hesitated. "How about this, I'll call the administrator, just a moment."
After saying that, he took out his phone and made a call...
at the same time.
Yu Hui was completely unaware that his father and grandfather had been intercepted halfway.
He was still busy cooking for the guests.
Beep beep beep—
The familiar ringtone of a cell phone rang.
He took his phone out of his pocket to answer the call, while continuing to stir-fry the vegetables with his other hand.
"Hello, are any family members coming to deliver groceries today?"
This is a call from the Chuanshan Cultural Tourism Administrator.
The purpose was to verify the truthfulness of what Yu Jun and the old man said.
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Yu Hui blurted out.
"Oh, your family members are stopped halfway up the mountain. You need to act as their guarantor before they can be let in," the cultural and tourism administrator said officially.
“Okay, let them in first. I’ll go to your place to get a new guarantee document after I’m done with this,” Yu Hui said.
Not long after hanging up the phone.
The young volunteer received a call back.
He walked to Yu Jun's car window.
"Hello, I've understood everything. You can go in now."
"Okay, as long as I can get in!" Yu Jun said.
At this moment, the constipated security guard also returned to the guard booth.
then.
The volunteers then asked the security guard to open the iron gate.
Yu Jun stepped on the gas, turned the steering wheel, and started the van.
Looking at the increasingly steep mountain road, he realized that the further he went, the more rugged the road would become, and the more difficult it would be to drive.
He gradually slowed down his driving speed and drove slowly along the mountain road.
An hour and a half later.
We finally reached the top of the mountain.
Yu Jun found an open space and parked the car in a corner before helping the old man out of the car.
The environment at the top of the mountain is beautiful.
Birds sing and flowers bloom, and trees grow in abundance.
Looking down, you can see a large expanse of cherry blossom trees, nestled halfway up the mountain, turning a vast area of the mountain red.
At first glance, it's actually quite stunning!
Yu Jun opened his mouth wide, exclaimed "Wow!", and then said:
"This mountain has changed so much! It used to be completely bare, with hardly any trees, but now there's even a cherry blossom patch!"
"yes!"
The old man subconsciously stroked his beard. "The environment on this mountaintop is really nice, no worse than the countryside! Setting up a stall here might even be a kind of enjoyment!"
After finishing their conversation, the father and son immediately headed into the food street.
In an instant.
The rich aroma of various snacks wafts through the air.
Stinky tofu, wolf tooth potatoes, young chicken, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe)...
The old man instinctively covered his mouth and nose, frowning as he said:
"Ugh~ Why does this smell so strong? It's all junk food! Gutter oil!"
"Many of these stalls are set up by villagers from Chuanshan Town and neighboring towns, so hygiene is generally guaranteed," Yu Jun said.
"It's probably just because they put in too much seasoning, making it too strong in flavor."
The old man immediately retorted, "What do you mean by 'strong flavor'! If a food inspector came, there definitely wouldn't be many that meet hygiene standards!"
Yu Jun was about to speak when he choked up.
"Oh well, it's normal for older people not to know how to enjoy life," he thought to himself.
The two wandered through the food street and soon arrived at Yu Hui's stall.
The midday rush hour is over now.
