Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

35 Grab a seat

After leaving the restaurant, it was only half past eleven and there were still thirty minutes before the departure of the bus, so several people walked towards the opposite station.

Xiang Guo was sitting in the waiting room waiting for someone, and there was also a brown canvas bag at his feet.

Zhang Jianguo saw him at a glance and ran over excitedly.

"Brother Xiangguo, you're here. How long have you been waiting? Have you eaten?"

"I just arrived too. I had dinner at home. Your sister-in-law insisted that I eat it out. Have you eaten?" Xiang Guo stood up and greeted the three people with a smile.

"We also ate at the state-owned restaurant across the street." Zhang Jianguo scratched his head embarrassedly. He was so busy enjoying the food that he forgot about Xiang Guo and didn't even treat him.

But it wasn't him who was treating, so how could he have the nerve to ask Ji Zhiqing to invite Xiang Guo as well?

"It's almost time, let's get on the bus first." Xiang Guo led the three people into the station. The conductor checked the four people's tickets and letters of introduction before letting them pass.

The tickets were purchased in advance by Xiang Guo and were delivered to them together with the train tickets a few days ago.

Now, in order to travel, one needs a letter of introduction from the brigade to buy a ticket. The letter of introduction is more useful than money. Without it, not only can they not buy tickets, but they can't stay in a guesthouse. Some of the educated youth who went to the countryside in the team have not returned for several years. One reason is this, and the other is that it costs too much to go out, and they are short of money.

There were five or six buses parked in the large square behind the station, going to different places.

Xiang Guo found the bus to the city with ease, and led the passengers on board to find seats according to the numbers on the tickets. He was really familiar with these things and his movements were natural, and it seemed that he went out often.

Liu Yumei and Ji Qinglan naturally sat together again. Ji Qinglan held her son in her arms. Xiao Xincheng was not sleepy at all at this moment. He opened his round eyes and looked around. Xiao Hei also popped his head out of the bag and looked around.

"I often go to the city on business trips. I'll take you around when the time comes." Xiang Guo said to Zhang Jianguo in the back seat.

"That's great! I haven't been there yet." Compared to the knowledgeable Xiang Guo, he and Liu Yumei are both country bumpkins.

Xiang Guo told Zhang Jianguo about what he saw in the city, how many floors the department store had, what places they could visit, and whether there was a history museum that they could visit for free... However, they would definitely not be able to go there today because it would be dark when the bus arrived at the station.

I'll just wait until I come back.

However, Xiang Guo also said that they could go to the state-owned restaurant next to the guesthouse in the evening. The braised lion's head made by the master chef was delicious, and they must try it when they go there, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.

Soon, more people got on the bus. At exactly twelve o'clock, the middle-aged driver strolled onto the bus carrying a thermos. The ticket seller shouted a few times on the platform, and when she saw that no one else was getting on the bus, she closed the door and the bus started slowly.

Along the way, Xiang Guo and Zhang Jianguo were talking in low voices. Zhang Jianguo asked him about things in the city from time to time. The two people in front were also talking in low voices. However, it didn't take long before Liu Yumei fell asleep.

Ji Qinglan held her son in her arms, listening absentmindedly to the conversation in the back seat.

Zhang Jianguo admires and trusts Xiang Guo very much, which is not a good thing.

The bus stopped and started, and passengers got on from time to time, some for short distances and some for long distances. The bargaining voice of the conductor auntie kept reaching our ears, and soon the aisles of the bus were crowded with people and things, even chicken coops and duck cages, fighting for space, grabbing seats, quarrels..., and the clucking of chickens and ducks was comparable to a messy vegetable market.

Even Liu Yumei, who was soundly sleeping, was not spared and was woken up by the noise.

An old lady looked at the two girls and twisted her body to squeeze over to Liu Yumei: "Girl, sit over there, let's squeeze in."

Liu Yumei quickly pushed her away and said anxiously, "Auntie, there is no room for us to sit down. We have a child with us."

"Why not? They are all young girls. My legs hurt after standing for too long, so I'll just sit for a while. The seat in front is just around the corner." The old lady squeezed forward. Her figure was so big that she could occupy an entire seat.

People on the bus are used to it. They will grab any ticket they can get. If anyone wants to stand, there is no place to step in the aisle.

Ji Qinglan was awakened and reached out to push.

Liu Yumei was furious. Why was this man so unreasonable? She pushed him hard and kept moving away, refusing to give an inch.

"That's really not possible. You're squeezing the child."

Seeing that she didn't get the upper hand, the old lady started to curse at the two men: "Why are you pushing me? You will be in trouble if I fall. You are so young and don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. You are such unruly people."

Because they were so close, the old lady's mouth, which was dark and yellow and had a missing front tooth, seemed infinitely magnified in front of the two men.

Liu Yumei felt that her face was splashed with the other person's saliva, which made her feel disgusted. She had such a bad temper! She couldn't stand it.

He suddenly stood up and pointed at the person, yelling, "Why are you giving way? I didn't pay for the ticket. How old are you? You must be under 40! You don't deserve my respect for the old and love for the young. You're getting old before you even reach your age. You're growing up too fast."

"Seeing that we two women are easy to bully and forcefully occupy seats, why don't you go and ask those men to give up their seats for you... Hey! What are you doing, grabbing seats?"

Before Liu Yumei could finish her words, her seat was taken by someone else.

Liu Yumei was squeezed into the gap between the seat and the front seat backrest, her face flushed.

I have seen shameless, never seen such shameless.

Do you think they are arguing with you?

No, they are just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. Their goal is to get a seat.

The woman sat down on her seat, fearless, and pushed hard towards Ji Qinglan: "Boss, there is a seat here, come and sit down."

Ji Qinglan's face also turned red with anger and he pushed the person hard.

"Get up."

Liu Yumei pulled the person up with all her strength, but no matter how hard they tried, the old lady grabbed the cloth cushion under her body with one hand and moved towards Ji Qinglan little by little, squeezing out half a palm's space on her left.

Ji Qinglan was holding the child and couldn't exert any strength at all. She wanted to punch the child.

As she shouted, a man in his forties also squeezed over and was about to pass through two boxes after three more people.

Liu Yumei was so angry that she reached behind and grabbed a handful of Zhang Jianguo's hair.

"Zhang Jianguo, you are such a dead man! I am being bullied to death and you are still sleeping..."

Zhang Jianguo felt pain and opened his eyes in a daze. He saw his wife being bullied in front of him, and stood up with his messy hair.

"What's going on? Why are you taking my wife's place?" Zhang Jianguo stood behind her, grabbed the old lady's cotton coat by her shoulders with both hands, lifted her up and pulled her into the aisle.

Liu Yumei sat down quickly.

"What are you doing? You want to fight?" The man finally squeezed over, glared at Zhang Jianguo fiercely, and rolled up his sleeves at his wrists, looking like he was ready to fight at any time.

"Oh! Boss, teach these two little bitches a lesson." The old lady shouted, pointing at Liu Yumei and Ji Qinglan and calling for their death.

The man reached out his hand, but was blocked by Zhang Jianguo.
