Chapter 9 Meimei

In a blink of an eye, by the end of the second year. Feng followed to see her future mother-in-law. My second uncle didn't go back to his hometown. He was transferred to other places to work. He has to work hard to support his family. Mei Mei sent most of his salary to his mother and fulfilled his promise. He bought two sets of change clothes in a small corner of the city with the least money, and prepared to go back to his hometown after the Spring Festival. There must be a lot of people going home during the Spring Festival, and it must be crowded. Mei Mei doesn't want to do that anymore.

There were a lot of people when I came, so I have to go back alone now.

All the larger luggage has been packed and sent by Mei Mei, and she doesn't know whether she will come back here. The factory also suppressed the salary for two months, and the boss said that it would be paid as soon as he came back to work. If he didn't come back, it would be the training fee, so he wouldn't give it. Female migrant workers are female migrant workers, and the boss is the boss. Female migrant workers want freedom and bosses want welfare. Mei Mei felt very lost after he resigned. Free, she doesn't even want to go home, or is she still blaming her mother or fate?

I have two handbags in my hand, which are full of towels and the like. A handbag has many compartments, and the money I need is divided into several places to buy bus tickets, train tickets, food and emergency telephones. I have thought about all kinds of difficulties I may encounter, such as losing my money, where to call the police, what to do if I get lost, and various countermeasures. After getting ready, I had a good rest for two days, so that I had enough energy to face the fatigue of the journey.

That morning, Mei Mei got up early, took motion sickness medicine in time, and waited for the first bus in Hangzhou at a gas station not far from the coast. The car rocked and she soon fell asleep. After being woken up, he is said to have arrived at the railway station. Mei Mei hurriedly stood up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and got out of the car askew. When she got off the bus, she found it was not the train station, but the main road. Surrounded by high-rise buildings, Hangzhou is good, but it is really not a railway station. Mei Mei was at a loss about the bus and left. The worst thing is that she is the only one who got off here.

The weather is clear and the sun is dazzling and bright. Mei Mei stood where he was for a few minutes. She began to hate buses. But she immediately calmed down, put on a pretense of being leisurely and worldly, and rode a motorcycle to the railway station.

After many twists and turns, Mei Mei finally got on the train.

Although it has been two months since the Spring Festival, there are still many people who are afraid that the Spring Festival will be too crowded and will move back the time to go home, so it is still very crowded. Mei Mei bought a station ticket, and there were many people standing, which almost filled the whole passage. If there is a dining car coming, there is a car selling things coming, including someone who wants to go to the toilet, people in the aisle have to stand in front of people with seats and squeeze for a while.

Mei Mei is already carsick. Although I took motion sickness medicine, I still can't adapt. The bus is too crowded. Sweat, smelly feet, fruit and instant noodles filled the whole carriage, making it difficult to breathe. Mei Mei, with his eyes closed, leaned half asleep on the hard seat next to him.

I don't know how many stops I have passed, and I don't know whether it is day or night. There are a lot of people on the bus. These people are all soldiers. Because I feel strange, Mei Mei's spirit is much better. Looking at them, I forgot to get carsick. A soldier walked up to Mei Mei and saw that she was pale and there seemed to be a sneer on her face. Three people in the next seat consciously squeezed in and moved out of a seat. He didn't thank them either. He sat cross-legged on the ground with a newspaper and handed Mei Mei a newspaper by the way. Mei Mei perked up and read the newspaper.

Mei Mei felt a pull on his sleeve, only to realize that the three people next to him also crowded up and moved out of a seat. Mei Mei also mechanically like a soldier, spread the newspaper on the ground and sat cross-legged. Then the soldier handed Mei Mei a story meeting, and he had another one in his hand. Mei Mei thought it would be much better to take a carriage. Tired of watching, Mei Mei closed his eyes and entered a state of being half asleep and half awake until he felt more comfortable.

The soldiers got off at Kunming station. When they left, the soldiers found a small stool for Mei Mei and gave Mei Mei some stories. Like old friends and strangers, he didn't look back at Mei Mei. Without saying a word, a group of people left in an orderly way. Mei Mei didn't say a word, not even a smile. Looking at their backs, she couldn't tell who gave her the newspaper and the story meeting. It is that sentence that all the good things in life will come to an end.

The train finally arrived in Guiyang, and it was already dusk. Just after Mei Mei got off the train, he hesitated for a few minutes, and all the passengers who got off with him left. She stood there alone, looking at the tall buildings outside the station and Guiyang in the sunset, and really didn't want to walk out of the station. It is rumored that Guiyang has a bad reputation and poor public security. Who knows what will happen if you stay in this city for one night? On the other hand, rumors are just rumors, probably a long time ago, because they have become rumors. Now there are rumors that the city will improve. After all, public opinion still has power. At this thought, I felt nothing to be afraid of, and hurried to the exit.

At this time, another train pulled into the station, and the radio shouted, "Passengers to Zunyi and Chongqing, get on." Mei Mei was ecstatic and even went to catch Zunyi. In any case, there is no need to spend the night in Guiyang. But I didn't buy a ticket, so it's too late to buy another ticket. So she had the cheek to ask the conductor, "Can I get on the bus first and then make up the ticket?" The conductor waved his hand to get on the bus.

On the bus, Mei Mei found that she was the only one in this carriage. She just put her bag away and wanted to lie down and sleep. Then came a young man of about twenty years old, one meter tall and thin, wearing a white T-shirt with a scarecrow pattern printed on the front. As he walked, he looked around, and then he really sat opposite Mei Mei, while Mei Mei could only sit normally.

A waiter selling snacks came over with a trolley. Mei Mei stood up and bought a packet of fried peas, a packet of biscuits and a bottle of water. The man also bought some snacks and smiled at Meimei. Mei Mei took the opportunity to ask him what time Zunyi got off, and he said it would be about two or three hours later. Thought it was dawn, Zunyi was not better than Guiyang, and Mei Mei was still worried about the security situation. She couldn't show cowardice in front of strangers, so she smiled indifferently and sighed easily.

Mei Mei lent him a story, and the man put it on the table, not going to open it. He said that he was from Kaili, Guizhou, graduated from junior high school and studied cooking. His cousin runs a restaurant in Chongqing Railway Station and asks him for help. Afraid that Mei Mei wouldn't believe him, he showed Mei Mei all his certificates. She glanced at the last line of the address, Straufield Group. This young man is a very talkative person. Sitting with such a person, you can't control your mouth.

Mei Mei had to tell him many truths and mixed lies. She can't show him her ID card. Who knows if his ID card is true or not? Later, they left each other correspondence addresses. Mei Mei's address is true, but there is one more word on his name. Two people continue to chat, until the radio publicity Zunyi get off, Mei Mei realized it's time to go, she walked to the door and looked back at him, he was looking at her, she was afraid, afraid of that moment, she had to go to Zunyi alone in the dark.

When Mei Mei got off the bus, she realized that she didn't buy a ticket. It was dark in the station, and people could be seen vaguely. She didn't know how to get out of the station and hesitated there alone. At this time, seeing several young men and women passing by talking and laughing, she immediately realized that they got off the same train and could leave the station as long as they followed them. For an instant, her heart hung down. Follow them slowly and keep your distance. A few minutes later, they bypassed the railway station. It turns out that they skipped the ticket.

Lights are brightly lit outside the railway station, the night market is very lively, and hotels attract guests. She must be natural and graceful, sophisticated and mature, look up at the night sky proudly, never look around and stride towards the hotel opposite the station.

In the lobby of the hotel, Mei Mei asked for a nice single room with a black-and-white TV and a bathtub. I regretted it when I entered the room. First, the door can't be locked. Secondly, the switch of the TV set has been unplugged, that is to say, I can't watch it anymore. The two quilts folded neatly have a thin layer of dust, and the wall is written with a marker: "Our shop serves pigs."

Mei Mei agrees with this. Anyway, I can sleep tonight. Meimei closed the door, moved the table with the TV set to the door, and blocked the door to prevent anyone from breaking in. Open the quilt and cover it under, avoid sleeping directly on the dust, and turn the pillow over.

Although I was lying in the inn, I still felt the train swaying and couldn't sleep. I don't know how long it took, but I heard someone walking outside. A female voice shouted outside, "Hey, inside, what time did you get off?" Mei Mei thought, this noisy and shabby hotel, after paying the money, doesn't let people rest? Anyway, I paid for it. Anyway, I will sleep until dawn, and it will be safe until dawn. "

She ignored her and went back to sleep. I don't know how long it took, but the voice shouted at the door again. Mei Mei was very impatient, but he heard that it was very busy outside. Is it what happened outside? So I decided to go out and have a look.

She moved the table and opened the door. God, it's so bright outside. Run to the lobby at noon 1 1. I hurried out, just as a group of people came out of the railway station. Mei Mei guessed that they must be going to the bus stop, so he followed them closely. At the bus station, Meimei got on the bus of Maotai smoothly. It was already evening when we arrived at Maotai. The town was quiet and the hotel next to the station was still open. The boss was very enthusiastic and cooked a bowl of lean noodles for Mei. The long-lost fragrance made Mei Mei feel at home.

The next day, after crossing the Chishui River and several mountains, Mei Mei returned to the small mountain village where she was born and raised.
