Chapter 96 Departure of the provincial capital
Early the next morning, the whole family got up.
As if there was a big happy event, everyone was smiling.
Everyone had breakfast, then checked the doors and windows in the house, checked their respective ID cards, and then walked out with their luggage.
The weather is very clear and the sun is shining.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Dad, mom, this place is too far from the station, so we have to take the bus. We can get there in about fifteen minutes."
"Bus? What kind of car?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
Xue Ling followed her side by side and quickly explained: "It's a kind of manned carriage that takes a fixed route around the city, pays a little money, and gets off when you arrive at the station. Generally, the stations are big places, such as bus terminals, county office buildings, etc.."
"That's good!" Liu Ying smiled.
They waited for more than three minutes at the intersection bus stop and finally waited for the bus.
There were many people taking the bus in the morning and the car was slow. When I got off at the bus terminal, it was already 7:30.
Xue Ling said: "It's okay, we get up early at 8 o'clock and have plenty of time."
Cheng Tianyuan quickly found a big car to the provincial capital through the road sign and handed the four tickets to the driver.
The driver tore off half of the ticket and handed it to him.
"No matter how much luggage is, it is stuffed under the chair, don't get in the way!"
Cheng Tianyuan should be fine and took the old man into the car and sat down first.
"Ayuan, Lingling, we haven't come up yet?" Cheng's father asked.
Liu Ying was extremely nervous and said hurriedly: "Will there be too many people left? Hurry! Ayuan, go down and look for it!"
Cheng Tianyuan was also a little panicked, so he rushed out of the car quickly and looked left and right nervously.
"Brother Yuan! Come!" Xue Ling shouted in the distance.
Cheng Tianyuan quickly looked over and saw her standing on a wall with several sheets of paper sticking on her head.
When Xue Ling saw him coming, he quickly explained: "Look, there are some people looking for people and recruiting advertisements. The station has a large traffic and many people come and go. I think... if we want to find a sister-in-law, we might as well learn from others."
Although she said that she didn't care about Cheng Tianfang, she said that she would take the best or bad path herself.
But after all, blood is thicker than water. If you say this, you will inevitably be worried and worried in your heart.
Cheng Tianyuan had already asked Ah Hu to help find it. Sooner or later, he would run to Lin Cong's doorstep to see if someone was there, but unfortunately he still found nothing.
The imperial capital is a bit far away, the place is large, and there are many people. Looking for people is like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, small missing person notices like this are somewhat effective. If you add a "those who provide useful clues will be rewarded with a hundred yuan", it will definitely attract more attention.
After Xue Ling said this, Cheng Tianyuan's eyes lit up.
"But how did you get this picture up? The words are all printed!"
Xue Ling said: "We don't have this kind of thing here yet, but there must be one in the provincial capital. When my father-in-law's surgery is done, we will look for it. This is a printer to print it, then copy it, and collect money based on the quantity."
The printing technology in the late 1980s was still very poor, so I could only print small pieces. Copiers have been around for many years. A while ago, Director Liu applied to his superiors to buy a copier, but it has not been approved yet.
It is very difficult to do such things in a small county town, but it is not difficult to go to a large provincial capital.
Xue Ling explained: "There is a store specially printed and copied in the imperial capital. There is no need in Rongcheng, so no one opens it. There must be one in the provincial capital. Then we will go and look for it. Then ask Brother Ah Hu to give it to the driver who runs to the imperial capital for help, and we will give them a few packs of cigarettes as a reward."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan agreed immediately.
Xue Ling said again: "I'll send some more to my parents and ask them to help inquire and find out."
Cheng Tianyuan held her hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Wife...thank you."
...
Rongcheng is about 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital. It drives along the provincial road. There are no cars on the road, so there is no need to be afraid of any traffic jams. You can rest every two hours on the road, and stop at a rest stop at noon for half an hour.
There are things sold at the rest station for 24 hours a day, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and steamed rice.
Steamed rice includes vegetables and meat, and a portion of clear soup is given away, but one portion costs five yuan.
Liu Ying couldn't help but be surprised: "Just a little bit of food and food, just five yuan! This is a robbery of money!"
Xue Ling smiled and explained: "Mom, these roadside rest stations are like this, and things are five times more expensive than outside. Passengers are rushing around and just slaughter them in one chance. How can you not take the opportunity to slaughter more!"
Cheng's father also felt sorry for the money and whispered: "Let's buy some potatoes and eat them."
"No." Xue Ling said: "Those are all cold. Dad and Mom, we can't worry about saving a few dollars when we go out. The weather is only four or five degrees, and it's very cold. It's better to eat something hot, which is good for your health. Don't eat cold food and eat your stomach badly after a while, that's trouble."
My parents-in-law are not in good health, especially my father-in-law. Taking medicine all year round will hurt his stomach and cannot eat cold.
Cheng Tianyuan also felt it was reasonable. He saw the rest station built on the edge of the mountain. The mountain wind blew, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes were cold, so he immediately opposed it.
"My wife is right. When you go out, don't worry about saving a few dollars. Your health is the most important thing."
Seeing that both of their backbones were so persistent, Cheng’s father and mother couldn’t say anything else.
Xue Ling asked for money to buy four lunch boxes. The four of them sat on a small stool and finished eating. They drank a few sips of hot soup before getting on the bus.
I took another break in the afternoon and finally arrived at the provincial capital at around five o'clock.
It is worthy of being a big city. There are already vaguely visible four or five-story buildings in the suburbs of the city. There are many stations built, with rows of high-end passenger buses and trucks parked.
Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were illiterate. One was led by her son, and the other was led by her daughter-in-law. She followed the hurrying crowds of people coming and going out of the station.
Seeing that the sky was not completely dark, Xue Ling saw that there was a taxi four-wheeler by the side of the road, he went up to bargain and ordered one.
"Let's go to the hospital to find a place to stay. This is in the suburbs, so it may be difficult to call a taxi tomorrow morning."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and agreed.
Liu Ying smiled and said, "Ling Ling is still thoughtful. We are not familiar with the place, so we don't know how to find a hospital ourselves."
The driver understood the road and quickly took them into the city and stopped at the entrance of the Provincial First Hospital.
"You can't park here for too long. Get out of the car quickly."
Xue Ling said: "Brother, don't worry. Is there a small hotel nearby? Take us to the nearest one!"
The driver pointed his hand forward and said, "There are you there? There are two small hotels over there. You can see the signs after you get off the car and walk dozens of steps."
Xue Ling thanked him and paid the money.
The lights at the entrance of the hospital were bright and there were still people walking around.
They settled in a small hotel not far from the hospital.
Xue Ling was willing to spend money and booked two better rooms, one was 301 room and the other was 302 room, right next door.
After putting down my luggage, night had already fallen and it was dark outside.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Let's go for supper first, come back and have a good rest for a night."
