It was like a big happy event, everyone was smiling.
Everyone had breakfast, then checked the doors and windows in the house, checked their ID cards, and then walked out with their luggage.
The weather is very sunny and the sun is shining.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Dad, Mom, it's too far from the station. We have to take a bus. It will take about fifteen minutes."
"Bus? What kind of car?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
Xue Ling walked side by side with her and quickly explained: "It is a kind of large passenger car that takes a fixed route around the city. You pay a little money on it and get off when you get to the stop. Usually the stops are big places, like bus terminals.
, county office building and the like.”
"That's great!" Liu Ying laughed.
They waited at the intersection bus stop for more than three minutes, and finally the bus came.
There were many people taking the bus in the morning, and the bus was moving slowly. When I got off at the bus terminal, it was already half past seven.
Xue Ling said: "It's okay. The bus leaves at eight o'clock. We got up early and have plenty of time."
Cheng Tianyuan quickly found the bus bound for the provincial capital through road signs and handed four tickets to the driver.
The driver tore the ticket in half and handed it to him.
"No matter how big or small your luggage is, it should be stuffed under the chair and out of the way!"
Cheng Tianyuan responded and took the old man to the car and sat down first.
"Ayuan, Lingling, haven't we come up yet?" Cheng's father asked.
Liu Ying was extremely nervous and said hurriedly: "Will the crowd get separated? Quick! Ayuan, go down and look for it!"
Cheng Tianyuan was also a little panicked. He quickly rushed out of the car and looked nervously left and right.
"Brother Yuan! Come!" Xue Ling shouted from a distance.
Cheng Tianyuan quickly looked over and saw her standing on a wall with several pieces of paper pasted on it.
Seeing him coming, Xue Ling quickly explained: "Look, there are some missing persons notices and recruitment advertisements above. The station has a lot of traffic and there are many people coming and going. I think... if we are looking for a sister-in-law, we might as well learn something
Learn from others."
Although they say they don't care about Cheng Tianfang, they say that she has chosen the path of her own, and she has to accept the good and the bad.
But after all, blood is thicker than water. When you say this, you will inevitably feel concerned and worried in your heart.
Cheng Tianyuan had asked Ahu to help him find it. Sooner or later, when he had free time, he would run to Lin Cong's house to see if anyone 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. Finding people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, a small missing person notice like this is still somewhat effective. If you add a sentence such as "Anyone who provides useful clues will be rewarded with 100 yuan," it will definitely attract more attention.
When Xue Ling said this, Cheng Tianyuan's eyes lit up.
"But how did you get this picture? The words are all printed!"
Xue Ling said: "We don't have this kind of thing here yet, but there must be it in the provincial capital. When my father-in-law's surgery is done, let's go look for it. Like this, the printer prints it, and then copies it, and we charge according to the quantity.
"
In the late 1980s, the printing technology was still very poor and could only print small sheets. Copiers had been around for many years. A while ago, Director Liu applied to his superiors to buy a copier, but it has not yet been approved.
It is difficult to do such a thing in a small county town, but it is not difficult to go to a large provincial town.
Xue Ling explained: "There is a special printing and copying shop in the imperial capital. There is no demand in Rongcheng, so no one opens it. There must be one in the provincial capital. Let's go look for it then. Then ask Brother Ahu to bring it to
The driver who travels to Imperial City will help with the stickers, and we will give them a few packs of cigarettes as a reward."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan immediately agreed.
Xue Ling added: "I will send some to my parents then and ask them to help inquire and look for them."
Cheng Tianyuan took her hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Daughter-in-law...thank you."
…
Rongcheng is about 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital. We drive all the way on the provincial highway. There are no cars on the road, so we don’t have to worry about traffic jams. We take a break every two hours on the road and stop at a rest stop for half an hour at noon.
There are things for sale at the rest stop 24 hours a day, including sweet potatoes, corn, and steamed rice.
The steamed rice comes with vegetables and meat, as well as a free portion of clear soup, but each portion costs five yuan.
Liu Ying couldn't help being surprised: "Just a little rice and vegetables, only five yuan! This is a money grab!"
Xue Ling smiled and explained: "Mom, these roadside rest stops are like this. Things are five to ten times more expensive than outside. Passengers come and go in a hurry, and it's just this opportunity to kill, so why don't you take the opportunity to kill more!"
Father Cheng also felt sorry for money and whispered: "Let's just buy some potatoes and eat them."
"No." Xue Ling said: "Those are all cold. Dad, Mom, when we go out, we can't just save a few dollars and harm our bodies. The weather is only four to five degrees, and it's very cold. It's better for you to eat something warm.
You are in good health. Don't eat cold food for a while and spoil your stomach. That will cause trouble."
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not in good health, especially my father-in-law, who has hurt his stomach from taking medicine all the time and cannot eat cold food.
Cheng Tianyuan also thought it was reasonable. When he saw that the rest stop was built on the side of a mountain, where the mountain wind was blowing and the sweet potatoes and potatoes were cold, he immediately objected.
"My wife is right. Don't worry about saving a few dollars when you are away from home. Your health is the most important thing."
Seeing that their two backbones were so insistent, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother didn't know what to say.
Xue Ling begged for money and bought four lunch boxes. The four of them sat on small stools to eat, and drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup before getting into the car.
We rested again in the afternoon and finally arrived at the provincial capital around five o'clock.
As expected of a big city, you can vaguely see four- or five-story buildings on the outskirts of the city, and there are many stations built, with rows of high-end passenger cars and trucks parked there.
Both Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were illiterate. One was led by his son, and the other was led by his daughter-in-law. They walked out of the station following the hurried flow of people coming and going.
Xue Ling saw that the sky had not completely darkened yet and there was a rental four-wheeler on the roadside, so he went up and bargained for one.
"Let's go find a place to stay near the hospital first. This is a suburb. It may be difficult to get a taxi tomorrow morning."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement.
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Ling Ling is still thoughtful. We are not familiar with the place where we live, and we don't even know how to find a hospital."
The driver knew the road well and quickly took them into the city and stopped in front of the Provincial No. 1 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? Please take us to the nearest one!"
The driver pointed his hand forward and said: "There! Do you see it? There are two small hotels over there. If you get off the car and walk a few dozen steps, you can see the signboards."
Xue Ling thanked him and paid the money.
The hospital entrance is brightly lit and there are people walking around vaguely.
They stayed in a small hotel not far from the hospital.
Xue Ling was willing to spend money and booked two better rooms, one was Room 301 and the other was Room 302, which were right next door.
After putting down the luggage, night had fallen and it was dark outside.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Let's go have dinner first and come back and have a good night's rest."
