The bus station attendant wearing a dark blue uniform glanced in the direction of the seating area.
The woman still didn't leave,
She looked outside from time to time, her face looking quite anxious, and she muttered from time to time: "It's been a few hours. Why hasn't this damn man come yet?"
The woman and her child waited in the lobby of the bus station for a long time. At the bus station in a small county town, there were not that many trains coming and going.
At 10:46 in the morning, this car arrived and took away the passengers in the lobby.
The seats around her suddenly became empty again.
And after waiting for more than an hour, there were still no other passengers in the small waiting hall, and she felt awkward sitting here.
At this moment, a man in his thirties walked up to her and asked, "What's the matter? I'm from the bus station here. If you need help, you can tell me."
This man is not good-looking, with a dark face and rough skin, but he speaks softly and does not look like a bad person. The main reason is that she has been waiting for too long and is too anxious. She always stays in this place and is visited by people at the station. It never looked good, especially when her little daughter was making a lot of noise next to her.
"I made an agreement with my husband that he would pick me up and the kids at 11 o'clock, but he hasn't come yet."
"You have been waiting for such a long time. People who don't know better think you are kidnapping children. We have seen many such things here in recent years."
The woman became anxious upon hearing this. She obviously rarely traveled far before and was afraid of being misunderstood. She quickly explained: "No, no, she is my biological daughter. I don't want to stay here any longer. I also want to buy my own ticket." I went to my husband’s factory in Xiaoguan Town, but our manager only told me to pick me up and didn’t tell me how to get there.”
The short man nodded, his expression still quite kind. In addition, he was a station staff member. Even though he was a man less than 1.6 meters tall and had an ugly face, it did not make Tong Yu want to ignore him. .
"I know that place, but I don't have a car to go to your husband's factory right now. How about we take a bus there?"
"Is that too much trouble for you?"
"My home is over there in Xiaoguan Town, and I happen to be on the same road as you. You have a child with you, so I can help you carry your luggage on the way."
Geng Wenye said with a serious face.
"Thank you very much. I don't know what your last name is?"
Tongyu was already eager for her husband, but now she really felt that she had met a kind-hearted person.
"Geng Wenye."
"Sorry, Brother Geng."
The bus station in the small county town can be regarded as a two-story building. The exterior walls are all covered with small white rectangular tiles. On the cement floor outside, there are several small rectangular flower bars of two to three meters with oval ends at both ends.
But no one was taking care of it, so there were no flowers inside, and there were a lot of weeds. Tong Yu glanced at the fallen part of the flower fence next to him, and focused all his attention on the man in front of him. body,
Geng Wenye was walking in front with her luggage. At this moment, she dared to look at the old man's back carefully. He was very ugly. How could she not compare this elder brother Geng with her husband? He was an engineer in the factory, a talented man, 26 years old. I have already managed several people.
The clothes of the man in front of me are sloppy and shabby, and his legs are very bowed when he walks. He is really ugly to a certain extent.
Maybe it's because he's not tall and doesn't look good, but he is a 'good guy' who is willing to help him after all.
She thought of her husband again, "Feng Fan, you stinky man, I told him that he was here today, and I had a child with me, but you didn't even come to pick me up. You want to starve our mother and daughter to death." at this place. '
'There won't be any women outside. '
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. In the three years since she had given birth in her hometown, there had been a lot of gossip in the village!
She held her little daughter and Geng Wenye on the shuttle bus bound for Xiaoguan Town. It was an old, broken-down bus, just like her hometown. In order to have more seats, there were several large benches in the middle.
While waiting for the bus, several old country men and women carrying baskets came up, and it became extremely crowded. These people spoke local dialects, and she could only understand a few words in a sentence.
"Brother Geng, does this bus go to Xiaoguan Town?" She asked Geng Wenye aside with some doubts.
"We're here, we'll get off when we reach the halfway point." Geng Wenye said with a smile on his face.
"Um."
Although Tong Yu had her doubts, she was quite relieved to see that Brother Geng looked like an honest and upright rural man.
